Milktea has decided my laptop is his throne now

Since chapter 6 of my fic is officially up, and Ellie's true form has been revealed to anyone reading (and I trust that you are all reading), I can now share this fun little pic I drew up of the actual height diff between Aaravos and Ellie.

Leola and her broody buff orpington for the now posted Chapter 6 of Two Roads Walked to the Same End

[babymillennial]

I'm having fun with this wip

[babymillennial]

Not getting to my season 7 binge until tomorrow so in the meantime here's a lil preview of adult Leola in the upcoming chapter of my TDP fic Two Roads Walked to the Same End

The chicken is named Buttercup, for anyone wondering.

Locking in all my major scenes with The Merciful One in my TDP fic today (so that I don't feel like I have to change their characterization after I binge s7), only to realize I never tagged for their presence xD

[babymillennial]

I think I might need to add tags for existential and cosmic horror to my TDP fic 🤔

[babymillennial]

Every time I think I'm done making more work for myself than necessary I add a new thing to my list of ao3 workskin features and maybe that's a bad thing

Which OC is the best at telling stories?

Chapter 5: Her Little One

He reached out to it before thinking not to, to test its realness. His fingers had barely ghosted along her skin when she bolted upright, covered her ear and fixed him with a soft glare. The starlight freckles that matched his had all but vanished from her skin.  “Not polite te touch a woman what's not given ye her blessing, outlander,” Ellie murmured. “Seem to recall ye wantin’ fer some manners none too long ago.” Aaravos smiled, his eyes lit up at the little callback. “Wouldn't it be just as impolite to touch a man without his blessing?” “That was only in service a savin’ yer big, glittery hide from the fae,” she replied, her gaze flicking across him sardonically. “Yer welcome, by the way.” “You're very welcome, too,” Aaravos grinned, and Ellie rolled her eyes.  “Ah, sure, many thanks, stranger. Ma hero what saved me from running five feet.”

I 100% believe that Aaravos is an introvert who likes being alone, he probably has like...a 1-2 person list of people he can be around that cost him no extra energy and that's it.

Another headcanon you can pry out of my cold, dead hands:

When he doesn't have to be charming and charismatic, Aaravos is actually a wallflower. Being as ancient, immortal, and powerful as he is, even after having lived among mortals, he still has difficulty relating to them. Unless he feels like he truly has something to offer to the conversation or he's fairly comfortable with the group, he observes. If you want to hear from him, you have to directly address him.

No, I'm totally not projecting

Looking forward to drawing Leola barreling into Aaravos at Mach 2 because who needs living fathers amirite

for the purpose of my own writing i have a design for Leola as an adult, that thing she would've become if the Court of Stars weren't such dicks

[babymillennial]

this and also i think he finds the friend-shaped roundness and consistent incoherent/nonsense sentences very endearing.

Not at all at the point of writing it but my current brainworm is Aaravos loving and doting on every infant he ever meets to a level that surprises/concerns everyone in his immediate vicinity.

[babymillennial]

Thinking about this one Viravos fic idea I've got where Viren reincarnates some thousands of years post canon and instead of being dead and buried Aaravos had a redemption arc offscreen and is now living in (New) Katolis as their resident weird old man--I mean mage.

And Viren grows up constantly having dreams/flashbacks of his past life with all the dying and evil Aaravos so he ends up seeking out a job/apprenticeship with Aaravos, and accidentally unknowingly explains his weird Aaravos dreams to Aaravos in the first 5 minutes of meeting him, so Aaravos knows he's Viren's reincarnation and hires him.

Workplace ethics violations ensue.
