Remember that fanart you got of Weld listening to music while wearing a jersey with the number 53? Makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Yeah, I remember that well. Not gonna lie, that piece of art definitely contributed to my desire to know more about Weld, even though I was aware (an became more aware as Arc 8 continued on, especially after Shielder died) that it might not be based on any canon knowledge of his personality and interests.

I really appreciate that “casual Weld” turned out to be an accurate representation of his personality.

(That’s one of the ways he contrasts with Taylor, by the way. Taylor is anything but casual.)
