#;Alasdair tag

[jadedlight]

//I was looking at Heroforge for another character of mine and I saw my million different models for Alasdair and I will never not be obsessed with them.

Anyway, top row: That one one-shot campaign where I played Alasdair as a Death Cleric and they wouldn't stop arguing with the paladin about the ethics of necromancy. Reduce reuse recycle my friends.

And then bottom row: Normal verse, and honestly the outfit I imagine them wearing most times. I need to get updated commission art when I have money again XD The skull is their arcane focus and the eyes have emeralds imbedded in them. I imagine them having a special pouch for it on their belt.

Travelling Light featured in this week's The Full Lid!

Big thanks to Alasdair Stuart for writing lovely things about Travelling Light in his newsletter this week!

You probably know Alasdair as a voice actor in several fabulous pods, including the Magnus Archives, The Secret of St Kilda and Re: Dracula to name just a few.

He also writes a weekly newsletter called The Full Lid covering all things pop cultural. It's a lovely wee thing to have dropped into your inbox every Friday, and I really recommend checking it out. (I'm mildly biased not because he said nice things about TL, but because he has very similar Doctor Who opinions as me and I find it very validating to see them in print)

Here's a link to this week's issue featuring Travelling Light, @ethicstownpod and Observable Radio, and you can subcribe for more or read back issues from there too!

Reading more Lanark and. Oof. It hits

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.

Iolanthe, a wealthy provincial from Hispania Baetica, and her Gaulish Celtic Pictish some kind of Brittunculus barbarian bodyguard, Doiros, have arrived in Rome. Whether they're there to consult with Gordianus the Finder or Marcus Didius Falco (or some other fictional Roman) is up to the reader's discretion...

//My friend Cuil drew this of Alasdair like a year ago and I need this on my blog.

#mama brit and her army of demigod children#arthur the youngest with the superiority complex#and i love that mama brit was apparently brilliant enough that athena gifted her a child in alasdair#she pulled athena apollo and poseidon now that's a woman that i'm afraid of#would they be at camp halfblood or are they demigods that are grown up?

I'd like to put them at Camp Half-Blood because that's where the fun is haha. The amount of shenanigans would be boundless. However, with Alasdair as the oldest, him potentially having graduated high school and trying to have a normal college life during the academic year also has potential

So would Feliciano also be a child of Aphrodite? And what about Molly's brothers?

I think Feliciano would also be a child of Aphrodite, but much more embracing of it.

Mama Brit got around in nationverse so that’s maintained here lmao. There are cases (like Beryl Grace) of people attracting more than one god or the same god multiple times, and I feel like she’d be capable of it. Why? She’s Mama Brit and she does what she wants. I’m also thinking to equate to the whole seeing magical creatures thing she’s one of those mortals who’s able to see through The Mist very well, so she knows a bit of what she’s getting herself into. Alasdair is a child of Athena in my brain because I think it fits his personality well, as well as Scotland’s history of applied learning and engineering (and economics 🤢). Seán and Alwyn are also children of Apollo, because Seán’s her twin and Wales also has a strong musical/oral tradition, plus the Welsh longbow cannot be ignored. Finally, for Arthur the moody sea rat, who could be more fitting than Poseidon?

I won’t insult you by asking you #4. :D So please: 11, 14, 22 and 23?

Thanks for your consideration! It is what it says on the label, I guess... ;) In fact the tag "McCarric Scenes" was a successor to "Shire Impressions", a similar world-photoshoot series of little scenes.

11. Why have you decided to tell this story? are there any messages or meanings within it?

This varies quite a lot for the different parts of the story. For Season 1 it was because Ian McCarric had won a Bachelor Challenge and I wanted to do something with the custom-world that was the first price. For Season 2 it was because I had crash-landed all my other projects at the time and wanted to go back to something that worked. It was the moment my main blog switched from gameplay to storytelling. Also to tell Fergus' story of course. For Season 3-4 I already had Alasdair, so I just needed to weave my tale around him. But it was Matt who made Season 3 into more than a timeskip.

As for the general message: Finding love is not the happy ending of your life's novel. This applies to all parts from the very beginning.

14. Do you have any regrets about your story so far? if you could go back in time, how would you fix these?

On the whole, I'm rather happy with the story as it is. I already mentioned this, but my only serious regret lately was that I didn't stop to think about Ghost Catherine's outfit. I secretly changed it for Season 4. She can choose in which form she appears after all.

While there's nothing I would cut, I sometimes regret not elaborating scenes more. Typically this applied to Season 1 but still sometimes happens today. I kinda regret not showing more of Jonathan's and Nicolas' early days as a couple, and possibly more of Roseanne's perspective. Ysobel and Fiona are also doing a bit too well, pretending not to be a couple at all. But I don't know, I still think all this would have slowed down the story too much.

22. Choose a favourite character from your story so far

Matt, because I feel close to him, but also Fergus and Mayrose for being too good for this world. But I love every member of the family in their own way.

23. Choose your least favourite character so far

This is difficult. There are the Frasers and Stevensons, who only figure as the uninspired neighbours. I mean to work on this, but they are a bit one-dimensional. On the other hand, the world is full of people who haven't had a single original thought in their lives.

Of the immediate family, I guess André is currently making himself a nuisance.

Young Alasdair and his mother, on promenade in a park the autumn before certain matters came to light. (Although sharp eyes might notice the colors of a certain Highland clan's tartan on him...hardly subtle, your Grace!)

(1) A real casaquin a la turque more than likely wouldn't have had these puffed sleeves at the top, but I really wanted something with a draped peplum on the caboose, so away we went.

(2) How his hair got so much shorter by the time he arrived is beyond me. Perhaps he went and ruined Mamma's embroidery scissors playing barber...the true, shocking truth behind his departure in disgrace!
