How convenient - because I LOVE your art!! 😀 The details, the posture.. and the restraint of the medium. Just masterful. I see in this work the Lich who remembers what it is to be the Man, and it's that which moved me and asked to be written. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

HOW? Not just reskinning. Napoleon's arc sets timeline, scenes (some shot-for-shot), plot points, base dialogue, it's then transposed to Thedas - recast, rewritten to reflect Emmrich's POV. Outcomes for Napoleon & Emmrich are the same in many places, but motivations and reasons are different!

WHY? I love the outsider perspective of Napoleon, it's relatable, rewards with nuance if you dig deeper. I see a clear parallel between Napoleon & Emmrich, the latter an outsider who overcame social awkwardness but occasionally lets the mask slip. This is a labour of love, exploring this parallel.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Emmrich Volkarin's teenage years were more like those of Napoleon Dynamite, the ultimate gangly awkward teenager? Wonder no more. archiveofourown.org/works/884163...
