brightknightie: Nick raising his hand to touch the screen from the wrong side. (Nick Again)
From a comment PJ made, I wanted to identify for certain in which Forever Knight episode Nick uses the word "slave" to describe his perception of his unwanted connection to Lacroix (as opposed to Lacroix's perception of Nick as his "brother," "son" or "protégé"). Of course Nick's perception is implicit in many episodes (e.g. "A Fate Worse Than Death," "Strings"...) But where was it explicit?

I'd mistakenly thought that the usage was part of the "I shall repay you" flashback of "Dark Knight, The Second Chapter." But no, it's not on the North American nor German DVDs (I don't have my VCR hooked up anymore to check the original Canadian cut on dubbed VHS ~grin~). What is there is:
NICK: You made me a murderer.
LACROIX: I made you a god! I made you eternal. I made you my brother.
(My memory had mistakenly matched 2:2 in that exchange: murderer/slave to god/brother.)

So where was it? Not the symbol-rich dreams of "Dying for Fame" or "Feeding the Beast." "Curiouser and Curiouser" comes close, but there it's Lacroix who says Nick is "enslaved" (by his guilt). Had I made it up, after all?

No. It's in the flashbacks of "Killer Instinct" (which, chronologically, almost immediately follow the flashbacks of "Dark Knight").
LACROIX: My protégé.
NICK: Your slave.

[livejournal.com profile] ani_bester is now selling a number of her paintings and drawings at half their usual prices. Most are fan art creations (Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, etc.) but a few are original fantasy.

Her main art website, from where she sells originals, prints, stickers, bookmarks, etc., is Galactic Dust Bunnies. Naturally, it has a lot more selection than the half-off sale! She's got at least one thing from most major fandoms.

In the 2011/2012 Fandom Stocking, she very generously drew me Cassiopeia from BSG'78. I later bought a full-size print of that black-and-white illustration for myself, and I've several times bought art from her to give as gifts, including once a commission portrait of Adam Lambert for [personal profile] leela_cat. (By complete, bizarre coincidence, a person at my workplace has a print of one of her paintings of Luna Lovegood on the cubicle wall.)

As implied in the subject line of her post, Ani-bester is undertaking this half-price sale to help with pregnancy-related expenses.
