RQ 2: Blanche’s Eyes
We’ve seen Blanche’s eyes a couple of times in the comics, but just to clear things up, his eyes are white! It’s a little unsettling if you aren’t used to it.
Another answer for the the * meme.
* Blanche and his shadow don’t get along, and he has lost track of it more times than he cares to remember. The shadows of white stags aren’t really alive, but they’re mischievous, and will sneak off given even the suggestion of a chance (lucky for Blanche, white stag shadows are only really active when they’re very young- by the time a stag hits his 20s their shadows are mellow and lazy and very rarely run off). Still, despite this Blanche and his shadow have an unusually lousy relationship- the time when Blanche stumbled into Mag Mell by mistake and his shadow decided to stay behind, forcing Blanche to go through year six in school without a shadow was… well, Blanche still doesn’t like to talk about it.
There are so many interesting things about Blanche and white stags that I have not been able to showcase in Skin Deep. Every day I am honored that Sfé let me use is characters in Skin Deep yaaay.

I’d think it’d look like he had no iris or something when you saw him.
I’m having trouble with sending you my reader question, is it alright if I post it here?
Do animal legged creatures (centaurs, sphinxes, etc etc) have specialty clothing to cover their backsides? Or are they more comfortable going more commando? Because I’m sure others might be a bit uncomfortable seeing that!
That would explain the hairstyle, then. Can’t go around unsettling folks. Just as well it’s all tied up in the magic, though.
Tony: Hey, Blanche, I’ve just thought. Shouldn’t those white eyes of yours mean you’re, y’know, blind or something?
Blanche: Yeah, sure. I’ve only been pretending to see all this time.
mind = blown
Still not as upsetting as the all white eyes on a bugbear… O_O
Blanch looks awesome with that mane of his. :3
That alt-text just made my day xD
