"Witness the Era Nova with me." I was made aware just this morning that it was 2691 backwards today so I promptly drew this (admittedly much softer and happier than the meaning behind 2691 but I wanted something soft okay) Might come back to this, probably wont #phaidei

Happy one year of posting these gays to me :D

I had this in my files for ages and forgot I never posted it I yap about this more on tumblr if you wanna see that www.tumblr.com/toraavanak/8...

Fairy Tail AU Phaidei
Mydei has Crystal Make magic, which he manifests in the form of armor
Phainon has something I'm currently calling Coreflame Magic, which is similar to Requip but rather than weapons or armor Phainon gains body enhancements

A few preliminary sketches + where their guild marks would be

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

It's still MerMay right- Look I had a longfic idea I wanted to post but I don't know if it'll be done in time so you guys get a design instead #phainon || #toraavanakart

Phainon driving a car recklessly, Caelus screaming for his life, Mydei backseat driving and Dan Heng resigned to his fate

Since I posted about it in tumblr uhhh I'm writing a Streamer!Phainon × Artist!Mydei fic It's called Dummy's Guide to Internet Crushes and currently has 3 chapters of gay idiots being down bad and trying to appear normal archiveofourown.org/works/76696081

Haven't drawn properly in a hot minute so easing back in by drawing phaidei in my fits

This looks like the start of a movie/video game where Phainon is Just A Guy:tm: and Mydei is the competent badass that accidentally recruits a civilian into the plot

THE GRAND MASTER IS HOME MY ANEMO STREAK CONTINUES IM SO HAPPY I GOT HIM Now I actually need to build him cuz I spent months prefarming the wrong artifacts-

77 pity guaranteed, had to skip Columbina, Zibai and Illuga for him

Lost to Wolf's Gravestone, but this came early at 23

That art trend where I give my blorbo my problems I only work part time but it's enough to convince me that service workers are superhuman Look, the anxiety of nothing happening but with every possibility that something can and will happen is not good for my brain okay- #phainon || #toraavanakart

Phainon trying to maintain sanity on shift with some help from Mydei and Cyrene

Happy New Year! I bring forth to you a #phainon shitpost inspired by my trip to Ikea last month #mydei let him keep the big one #phaidei if you squint (I am squinting) || #toraavanakart

Picture of Phainon carrying 3 Djungelskog bears
Mydei posted this picture with the caption "HKS thought I wouldn't notice?"

More Soul Eater AU Phaidei because I have the madness of yaoi //executed I just finished rereading the entirety of Soul Eater and I'm so glad it still sparks joy (and decided to read Soul Eater NOT as well and I thought it was cute) #phaidei #phainon #mydei || #toraavanakart

If you had told 16 year old Mydei, fresh off the recovery year he took after his father fucked up his soul, that in 7 years he would be a successful Meister with a weapon utterly devoted to him both on and off the battlefield, he would have thought you were utterly insane //executed again

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Playing around with the ideas for the Soul Eater AU, I think I like this one a lot Might go with this, gonna let it simmer first cuz I already have a fantastic opening scene with this idea but also I really like the idea of Mydei with big fuck you sword #mydei #phainon #phaidei || #toraavanakart

Alternate idea of Demon Spear Phainon and Demon Great Sword Mydei + some effects of Madness on Phainon

042

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

I did consider this, yeah! I was more focused on their roles and how they fit into the narrative so my brain kinda defaulted the weapon types, even if part of me was screaming that they should be swapped I might go back and swap it actually Im thinking too hard about it now haha

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

#Phaidei but it's Soul Eater Genuinely surprised I haven't seen this AU done before Please be nice to me, I haven't read Soul Eater in a while so I'm playing fast and loose with the lore here

Soul Eater AU for Phaidei
Phainon - Demon Weapon (Great Sword)
Mydei - Meister / "Artificial" Demon Weapon (Spear)

I was suddenly gripped with the urge to brainrot a bit and draw Ego again With 3.7, I can finally flesh out more thoughts on his lore as an adult but for now here he is as a young child #hsroc #phaidei || #toraavanakart

Some doodles of Ego as a young boy (he's around 6 or 7ish) with some Phainon and Mydei cameos

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD?!?!??! 20 PITY ON A WIN?!?!? HE REALLY SAID "FUCKING BET" JUST TO BEAT MYDEI HUH?!?!?

Tora Avanak @toraavanak.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

MYDEI IS HOME AT 30 PITY HOLY FUCK I ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO BRING THEM BOTH HOME
