17 hours later, I'm finally DONE with this one. Only took me like, 4 months :')
Hope you'll all like it !! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think of it :D I'm glad I finally could honor Magus like I did with my previous Glenn fanart.
Friendly reminder that my commissions are open if you'd want a little something done by me ;D
Here it is! My third SixFanarts! I know no one’s doing this anymore but I wanted to do another one. Here we have Magneto, Magus, Two-Face, Ladybug, Aldebaran and Toph! Can you imagine a scene with all these characters together?
listen i know theres like, hot debate or whatever abt which is the best party for chrono trigger - do you go with double/triple techs? with individual power? do you focus on flat out damage or strategy? do you have a healer or do you only care about items? do you even consider melee attacks?
but none of that matters
because the best party is magus/frog/ayla simply for the VIBES.
frog - a chivalrous knight with a moral core of steel, honor-bound to his queen, duty-bound to save the world, the heir to the great sir cyrus' legacy, cursed forever in the slimy squat body of a frog-person, but still he carries the legendary sword Masamune, a sword made of the legendary rock dreamstone, with a deep and millennia-old history, host to two bright wind-beings. he is tormented by his past choices, but he cares deeply about his comrades and the fate of the world.
magus - the morally-questionable mage who killed sir cyrus without hesitation and cursed glenn to his frog-form simply on a whim as a joke. he has spent the first third of the game as one of the big villains, and it was he who gathered the fiendish army against the guardian kingdom. villainous and cold - except he has a truly tragic backstory that just keeps hitting, and a deep love for his sister, and in the end its hard not to at least empathize with him, since all he wanted was to save his genuinely Good(tm) sister. (also u could totally make a case for fiend-kind not actually being evil...)
the two of them have a cool 'tragic hero vs tragic villain' vibe going on. you have to consciously choose not to kill magus!!!! and if you dont, youre sticking the dude who LITERALLY ruined frogs ENTIRE LIFE and also his family and his kingdom right up next to poor frog! and magus like. has to face all the shit he did as he strode blindly to his goal! the drama! the pain! the emotions!
and THEN THERES AYLA
a fucking cavewoman with a 24-pack of abs, a Very revealing fur bikini, a loose grasp on personal pronouns, no preference for the gender of her sexual partners, and no sense of tact or personal space. she doesnt really understand anything going on at all. im not convinced she quite even grasps the idea of time travel. she just wants to punch things. ll
like.... you can go do sir cyrus' ghost sidequest with frog, and magus can somehow ALSO BE THERE, and frogs like. making his peace with the ghost of his mentor and best friend, and cyrus is all "magus ruined everything and shit but like i gotta move on" and magus is awkwardly standing right behind frog, and everyones super uncomfortable even cyrus' ghost, and theres ayla behind them both, loudly munching on a chicken bone because a big ghost isnt any weirder than a sapient evil technicolor AI named mother brain who has a hard-on for controlling equally sapient robots and recycling human flesh. there she is. vibing. in her fur bikini.
