Hii Denz I have a question about your pirate au

Do you have any specific ideas for what kind of clothes techno wears?

Hiiii got so happy to get this ask and then realised i actually didnt have a solid idea so i went to sketch it out. He has one of those fancy ruffled shirts (that he stole), boots because i want him to have boots, a coat thats a little bit torn and beat up and stained at the bottom (very old coat) and some pieces of gold in his hair (Currently in the story he doesnt have that because of the whole. getting beaten up by the Red Sea and then leaving immedatly on the first boat he saw, but later he will get some gold.)

I also imagine him having a matching earring with Phil from their glory days were they were both pirates toghether also!

I hope this was helpful and if theres anything else you want me to go more in dept in i'd be more than happy to :D

Also btw i used refrences from @/mellon_soup since i was more focused on sketching clothes and i had a good base in my photos aready :D

I learned how to make a chevron bracelet today, I think it turned out good considering this is the 3rd bracelet I’ve made ever :D

[cyrenescreams]

Hello Cyrene how tall are the characters in 101 (I'm working on some art)

Hello Ýr ummmmmmm i have no clue how tall. Foolish is the tallest though. Sam's next but they have 2/3 inches between them id say. Then another gap between sam and Charlie. Fundy is only like an inch shorter than chralie. The largest gap is probably between Fundy and Q who is the shortest

[dragon-mantis]

Can you tell me about tma/dsmp

okay okay so! the doc itself is mostly just my place to keep track of who i think would be connected to which fear, BUT i do have a spiral fundy fic in the works

basically fundy has these weird dreams that come true. they havent really ever been more than like odd intuition, but then one day he has a dream that [redacted for spoilers] dies. he calls them, theyre fine, and he calms down. two weeks later hes watching the news and they died during a prison break in the exact way he dreams about, and he starts to spiral. and then a lot of things that i havent figured out yet happen

[yridk]

Hey now don't call me out like that

[pronoun-checks]

Hey can you do two separate name checks for Will and Ýr (if you can’t spell it on your keyboard just use Yr I’ve been using either) both of them with the prounouns It/he/star (star/star/stars/starself) (I think I’m still figuring them out)

Sure thing!

Will

Wait a second, is that Will? I think I see Will over there! Do you see it? It’s the one sitting by itself with its headphones on. I wonder what it’s listening to? Anyway, you’ve met Will before, right? No? Well, you’ll have to meet it sometime; I think you’d get along nicely with him. I’ve only spoken with him once or twice, but he seems pretty neat. He didn’t say much about himself, though. Oh, hey! Star’s looking this way now! I think star’s waving at us? Yeah, star’s definitely waving at us. Do you want to go meet Will? Sure, let’s go say hi to star! Hey! Will!

Ýr

Wait a second, is that Ýr? I think I see Ýr over there! Do you see it? It’s the one sitting by itself with its headphones on. I wonder what it’s listening to? Anyway, you’ve met Ýr before, right? No? Well, you’ll have to meet him sometime; I think you’d get along nicely with him. I’ve only spoken with him once or twice, but he seems pretty neat. He didn’t say much about starself, though. Oh, hey!

this was a really interesting read because my name is actually Ýr and I’d heard that it was a rune but no one I know could tell me anything else about it than it means yew tree or bow.

very cool also bc origins of names/runes and words are very interesting

Really interested in the yr rune but I’m having trouble finding information on it that isn’t “death rune” garbage. Could you point me in the right direction?

Sure, that is one of the more difficult ones to find good info on because the Icelanders who did a lot of compiling of poetic material didn't totally understand it. The /ʀ/ sound that it wrote in early Old Norse was long gone, and by the 1700's /y/ was gone too. If I remember correctly, Grunnavíkur-Jón Ólafsson wrote that it came "from Ireland" -- participating in a long tradition of attributing things that are difficult to explain to people the audience won't know anything about. Several hundred years earlier, Ólafr hvítaskáld, author of the Third Grammatical Treatise, said it came from Hebrew (and although he was talking out of his ass there is a possibility that he was slightly less off than you'd imagine).

The best source concerning rune meanings is Inmaculada Senra Silva's "The Significance of the Rune Poems" available here: https://idus.us.es/handle/11441/15113. It's believed that while it's graphic shape and use in writing came from the *algiʀ/elhaʀ rune ᛉ/ᛦ, that it's name and meaning come from the *ī(h)waʀ rune ᛇ. So if you're interested in the history of the rune before Nordic-specific developments, you will want to read about that one in the Old English Rune Poem.

The word ýr literally means 'yew (tree/wood)' but it's actually somewhat rarely used that way in Old Icelandic. Generally ýr means 'bow,' though there is surely some selection bias because so much of Norse poetry is about battle. The Old English and Norwegian rune poems refer to a tree, but in Iceland (where yews didn't grow) the poem and kennings refer to a bow.

Old English Rune Poem (Halsall 1981):

The yew is a tree with rough bark, hard and firm in the earth, a keeper of flame, well-supported by its roots, a pleasure to have on one's land.

Old Norwegian Rune Poem (my translation based on editions in Senra Silva):

ᛦ is the tree (which is) greenest in winter; it is expected that, that which burns, scorches.

Icelandic Rune Poem (my translation):

ᛦ is a bent bow and unbrittle iron and arrow-thrower.

In Sweden its name had changed by the early modern period when evidence for the Swedish Rune Poem was being compiled. Senra Silva (p. 252) has stupämaþr ('fallen/sloped/stooped man') and oRmahr; Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen (edited from Stiernhielm) gives Aur madur (and translates 'rich man', from öre, money/currency); presumably this is all reinterpreted based on the visual similarity to the maðr 'man' rune ᛘ.

Here's a selection of dylgjur collected by Jón Ólafsson, with my quick, rough, sloppy translation:

bendur bogi 'bent bow'

fífu fleytir 'arrow-flinger'

Fenju angur 'Fenja's (giantess's) grief'

bogi spenntur 'tensed bow'

tvíbentur bogi 'twice-bent bow'

uppdreginn álmur 'drawn-up elm'

skotmáls ör 'projectile-range's arrow'

píla á streng 'arrow on a string'

bardaga gagn 'battle-gear'

fífu fax 'arrow's mane (fletching?)'

handa raun 'hands' trial'

firða armbrysti 'men's crossbow'

stutt fjör 'short life'

ævibann 'life-ban'

fár fugla 'birds' misfortune'

See also: "Runes, Yews and Magic" by Ralph Elliott.

If you're more interested in how it was used in writing, that's complicated and I'm not sure of anything written that breaks it down, but that's something I'll hopefully be working on eventually. The overly-simplified version is that it was used to write the r-like /ʀ/ sound that comes at the end of many Old Norse words until that sound was lost; it was also used to write a few vowels and ultimately settled at /y/, in accordance with the principle that runes should have a name that indicates their phonological value in writing.

Here's a selection of appearances (including Elder Futhark algiʀ/elhaʀ):

By sheer numbers, short twig ᛧ is probably most common. The two-sided arrow shape ᛨ is distinctively Icelandic.

Hi denz do you have any set designs for any of the other characters in you pirate AU? (I Might need ideas for art mayhaps :D) like you can choose any character or characters you want

I also just liked seeing your thoughts about technos design bc it made more sense to me when then reading the newest chapter

Hi Ýr! I actually do, and also've drawn up some designs (Ranboo especially, since i needed a visual refrence for their entire. Situation.) The top two drawings are a bit older since i did them a while ago, but i still think its accurate?

The bottom one was the first of the new drawings i did, and i think its a bit obvious but that's fine. Gonna just point things out because i think that's the best way to explain :D Also trying not to delve too too much into spoilers but it will be tricky.

The before thing is referencing mainly when Ranboo met Tommy and Tubbo, it's after the boat crashing. Shaded parts are white, because ranboo scars white, and the mouth scars are placed where the jaw connects to the rest of the head. He also has ones on their tear ducks, thats what the scar lines near the eyes are. The top before drawing (the side profile one) has ranboo's braid still in, but thats technicly wrong because while Ranboo had their braid in when they met Tommy and Tubbo, they never tied it again. No reason to that, Ranboo just didnt feel a need to do it.

Their braid is tied on the right

The now drawings include the bandage, cause Ranboo doesnt really want to show his scars (bandage is tricky to do himself, but he can do it and usually does. There is a Reason in chapter 2 Ranboo asks tommy specificly to help him re-bandage his face.)

Last thing about them cause i know this is getting rambly (fully aware no one minds, but also i am trying to be clear and FAILING) : Ranboo has pointed ears. This is not a normal thing. Techno doesnt mention it because he choses not to notice it, but it felt impoprtant to mention since im talking about Ranboo's design.

Little baby tommy zoom in (i doodled it so small lmao sorry bout the pixels)

I just felt like drawing him very little and young. The scar is face paint wow i wonder if its familiar i wonder if thats like, a hint to something who knowsssss :) (Also it might just be mud actually, not face paint. He put mud right next to his eye and he thought it looked SO cool)

Also, pigtails. That was important. He has pigtails. In my heart it matters, fem tommy for the win he deserves to have longer hair

ALSO. The full body is inacurate, but it would be spoilers to do an accurate kid tommy so i sadly can't. When it's revealed i will as a little sorry (and also cause i REALLY wanna draw it but shhh thats not important) (it might also be related to why Ranboo asked Tommy to help him with his bandages. But i refuse to give away more than that)

Last but not least, Tubbo!!!!

He is NOT bald i just didnt want to draw more, so i took an screeshot of and older drawing of his scar because i think that's important. His eye droops and his face is a bit messed up, he also can't hear out of his left ear (obviously) but his other ear isnt that good at hearing either. Tubbo's been around cannons since he was too little to understand that, hey, maybe covering your ears will be helpful in the long run. But he was little and no one ever told him. He figured it out now, but his reflex is more of 'tense and stay very still' instead of 'cover your ears and duck'

He also tends to wear heavy outfits. Like, a big jacket and big boots and just clothes that are so puffy that they give him a round silhouette if that makes sense

[yr-idk]

I didn’t make posts on here for two days but in my defence I was busy being sad about life anyway today me n my friend dyed our hair in my grandparents bathroom while watching dead boy detectives so that was fun

(I’ve been a boy the past few days)

My hair isn't actually that light it's the light

[cyrenescreams]

Hii cyrene do you have any specific details about the designs of the characters in a 101 reasons? (Totally not looking for art ideas)

Hi Ýr! You asked so I’m going to use this an excuse to ramble <3 under the cut for convenience 

This is like current timeline I guess 

Quackity

longer hair.  it’s definitely at least shoulder length by now 

Definitely used like Bobby pins to keep his bangs out of his face 

Beanies obviously both the plain navy one and the embroidered red one 

I’m very fond of the track suit skin so he definitely wears those. He probably just claims it is easier than picking out clothes that actually match 

Lots of moles and beauty marks because obviously 

Reading glasses I can’t explain this one but it is true just plain wire frames that he hates but his boyfriends love 

He more or less only wears longs sleeves which covers it but he absolutely still wears the friendship bracelet 

Karl paints his nails but they never match any sort of theme because he doesn’t really care 

Charlie 

glasses 

His hair is sort of shaggy but not overgrown 

He definitely had braces at the start but got them off at some point 

On that same note he was the kid who exclusively got neon green bands on his braces 

The worst gamer tee-shirts you have ever seen. Only bad puns 

He cuffs his jeans to show off his fun patterned socks 

His socks while all having fun patterns never match 

He also wears his friendship bracelet

He’s a converse guy 

Definitely has some scar on his cheek from a dumb dare that he did as a kid. It’s a fun reminder of better times 

Foolish 

he wears the friendship bracelet and also like fifty others that Ponk made 

Also keeps a hair tie on his wrist for his partners 

His hair is definitely growing out but not quiet to the length that Quackity’s is yet 

Plain tee shirts and jeans 

He has no style and cannot be bothered to develop one 

His clothes definitely all fit a bit awkwardly because he refuses to get new ones 

He has a chip on his front tooth from playing football 

A beauty mark under one eye. Why? Who knows 

Messiest hair ever. He definitely run his hands throw it a lot when thinking and just totally fucks it up 

Probably some little scars on his arms from the car accident and playing sports growing up

Fundy

freckles everywhere absolutely everywhere on his face that’s it though

Some boring short hair cut 

He definitely had his ears pierced as a kid and still wears boring studs because he likes the piercings but doenst want to draw attention to them 

A hoodie and zip up guy. Always wearing like three layers of baggy clothes 

Black or dark blue are his go to colors 

Doesn’t wear the bracelets because he doesn’t like the wrist feel but will occasionally wear necklaces 

He seems like a silver guy 

Crooked teeth because same 

Sam

freckles everywhere part two 

Definitely has a little gap in his front teeth 

Hearing aids 

His hair has definitely grown out quite a bit. Maybe a bit longer than Quackity’s 

Has a severe case of roots always showing because he’s too lazy to dye it right away syndrome 

Faint scars on his arms and face from the accident 

Also a hoodie guy 

He can match colors and patterns on his clothes but usually just wears plain colors or green. 

The sort of guy to wear his sneakers into oblivion. They have only luck and ducktape holding them together 

Just the main boys to keep this from getting too long but as always I love to ramble 

[denzartriste]

ÝR THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!! I can't link this in the fic yet (lost my phone and i dont trust my ao3 extension not to mess something up) but the second i can i will!! His hair the bandage on his arm omg!!

Ýr i genuinly dont think i can express how happy your fanart of my fic has made me it's so kind, im really glad you like the fic!

His hair looks aweomse you should like it look at him!!!

A quick but actually finished drawing for once

It’s Tommy from @denzartriste’s pirate au, the design I used as a reference is also made by xem and I’ll put that and a link to the fic under the cut.

I’ve been practicing drawing with markers more and I really like how his hair turned out.

Image id’s are in alt text I’m hoping they work
