#Baz is not an elf

[fight-surrender]

Guys. I love you all, but I have to speak out. This has been driving me nuts for years. Baz is not an elf. His ears are not pointy. I submit as evidence a photo of Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula. Look at that rounded pinna.

Every time someone draws Baz with pointed ears, Simon gets a pimple.

[prettyaudvampyscones]

Watching Elf and thinking what if Simon was Buddy the Elf!? What if the Mage left him in care and he was found by Santa and adopted by Papa Ebb!? What if he went to New York City and was found by Penny and her friend Baz who were working as department store Elves!? What if he Falls In Love With Baz!? What if he finds his Dad who is pissed that Santa found him before he could come back for him and wants revenge!? What if Simon (and Baz and Penny) have to save Christmas!?

Simon SNOW? That’s an elf’s name for sure!!

Can’t even watch Elf without making it Snowbaz ❤️💚

[mustacactus]

My 3 babys, they’re in a sort of team of explorers (still haven’t worked on that)

From left to right:

Baz the wolf: a warrior and lover of nature, his big dream is to find the love of his life and have a farm

Odette the satyr: a mage of big accomplishments, loves to investigate and can’t be bothered with small talk

Ziv the elf: a little creature, most think she’s actually a Goblin, loves to invent, create and fight for the little things she likes

Fic Reader Highlights from this year! Thanks @mostlymaudlin for putting this together! This is such a lovely idea.

Fic that made me laugh: Worst Disney Princess Ever by @hushed-chorus.

So technically I listened to Demi read this in the discord, but who's counting. This is such a cute and fun fic in the absolute best way. The pigeons! The undead plotting rats! Baz's resignation to being the Disney princess with his undead animals 😂 Demi, hearing you read this was my first time reading (or listening) to this fic, and it was INCREDIBLE.

Fic that made me cry: you never quite say (but i hear) by @that-was-anticlimactic.

Yeah, this fic made me sob. It reminded me so much of my best friend, who also has ADHD and a loud voice and loves talking about their special interests. I adore them so much and love listening to them talk, even if I don't really get DND. I remember immediately sending them this fic after reading it. This is such a special fic. I absolutely adore it, and Zuko is the best boyfriend.

Honorary mention to He's Cruel But You Don't Have to Be by notanotherfanficwriter. Definitely made me cry. Soren's character arc, especially in Finnegrin's Wake, is incredibly cathartic.

Fic that gave me a story hangover: None Of Those Tiny Fluff Monsters In The House by @roxan1930.

Whatever a story hangover is, this definitely gave me it. I ended up naming one of my micropets in the Finch self-care app Poof because of it. I sometimes go back and reread parts of it because it's just That good and fun.

Fic I want to discuss book-club style: The Gay Bar by @scone-lover.

I think the Carry On discord actually has discussed this one before! It was very very lovely. Both the discussion and the fic. I ended up making a cover of this fic. The fic is so lovely and a very real depiction of queer experiences. Sconey, you are a gift to this fandom.

Fic that got me a lil flustered: Symbiotic by @thrandilf.

Um, yes. Hello. I am very very bisexual for a slutty gay practically-a-god elf tying up another slutty gay pretty-much-a-vampire elf and letting her drink from him. Thank you.

Fic by one of my favorite authors: Blooming by @hoothalcyon.

If you only read one neurodivergent ruthari fic, read this one. It's a collection of oneshots with autistic Runaan and supportive husband Ethari, and is so SO sweet and wonderful. Each chapter is a little slice of warmth and happiness to cut through the difficulties of life. And it's just so lovely seeing autistic adults being written about.

Fic I reread more than once: Keep You Safe by Tragicomic_Warrior_Poet

Just... Hakoda being a good dad to Zuko. Yeah. I love seeing that in zukka fics. I come back to reread this one a lot. Hakoda is such a good dad, and you can definitely tell how much he loves his kids. (And how much he cares about Zuko.)

Fic I sent to everyone I know: On the Edge of Morning by LassieLowrider

I love seeing the Carry On characters being disabled. I don't agree with Baz's leg being healed, and I really wish Simon being neurodivergent was touched on more in the books. So you better believe I sent this to the Carry On discord when I found it! It's such a wonderful slice of life fic <22

Fic that made me fall in love with an author: how familiar the danger by LiterallyThePresident (so sad I don't know if this author has a Tumblr)

So cheating a bit by doing a series for this one. But eh, rules were made to be bended. This series is SO DAMN GOOD. GO READ IT. AND THERE'S ART BY @sefarlen!!! Knight Ambrosius helping out slutty flirtatious commoner Ballister and them having an enemies to reluctant/tentative allies to lovers? FUCK YEAH, SIGN ME UP.

Gonna go ahead and tag some folks if you're interested in participating! Tagging everyone who's tagged above plus @bazzybelle @stitchyqueer @valeffelees @imagineacoolusername @artsyunderstudy @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @theearlgreymage @confused-bi-queer @no-cinnamon-for-synonym @yeonjunenby @yurayuramiharin @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @youarenevertooold @carryonsimoncarryonbaz @beautifulterriblequeen @cutestkilla @wellbelesbian @nightimedreamersworld @iamamythologicalcreature and anyone else who wants to! 💖💖

[crystalmonk5579]

Haii totally not a suspicious blog post for my bestie @ninjapaste >:3c

Bazhagen/Duke Wyatt

A/n: NONE OF THESE ARE CANNON BESIDES THE EAR WIGGLES AND THE EAR PETS OK?! I'm literally just doing this bc Robyn is asleep and I don't wanna bother them lol anyways let's begin!!!

~~o⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o haiiiiio⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o~~

Bazhagen:

Ok, pets fucking start off with the obvious, his ears are sensitive. Like not really sensitive where it could be painful, but like, lil tingles when you touch em.

His bf Lucian(my oc) will pet his ears sometimes

This mofo can get jealous as easily as a fly and flap it's wings. Like Lucian could be talking to someone from Durmitch and if they do ONE WRONG THING IT IS GOING TO BE A FUCKING DEATH GLARE FOR THE REST OF THE COVO

Very into pda but I feel like that's a given bc of his out going natured personality

This man will constantly tease Lucian Abt anything so be fucking careful when you're around baz, he will never stop reminding you of embarrassing things. Like you guys could be talking and he could call you kale teeth in reference to when you were talking to your crush and you had a piece of kale in-between your teeth.

Doesn't trust wild animals in Durmitch for three reasons, 1.) They're probably dangerous 2.) They could be used as listening devices for some magical people! And 3.) Lucian might adopt them and they're gonna steal his bfs attention away from him >:(

Honestly, I think he might be really fucking good at rock climbing for some reason...

This man is willing to pick up his small 5' bf and just smother him with kisses in public, no holds back all out, just to either scare someone off or just to show he loves his bf sm

Willing to just show up unannounced and bring you gifts if he ever senses you are sad one singular bit. "Heyyy, I saw you were acting not like yourself, and really really sad for whatever reason so I bought out an entire bakery with my friends money, you wanna watch the real elf house wives?"

HEAVY ASS SLEEPER ISTG IT WILL TAKE A FUCKING MILLION MAN MARCHING BAND TO WAKE HIM UP A LIL BIT/hj

I think he might really be into soda or root ear floats in a modern au

I think he might also really like axe throwing too, both as practice for fighting and competition!

This man's hair is so so so fucking rough and jaggy like look at it, it looks like a susuwatari from studio Ghibli movies except they're all greased up and spiked to make him look cool

I don't think he actually likes the leather pants he wears, like they're very restrictive and not good for fighting, not to mention it must fucking itch badly since I'd assume Durmitch woods are kinda like rainforests. And we all know that leather pants + humid/wet rainy areas= ITCHY ITCHY!!!!/neg but eh, who gives a shit!?! He looks cool in em

Cry baby when he gets a cold "OUGHHHHH LUCIAN WHY MUST YOU ABANDON MEEEEE?!!?!?" "....babe you have a mild cold, you'll be fine in a couple of days" "*sniffling and sobbing* WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO MEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?"

Duke Wyatt:

His hair is so fucking soft istg, it looks so fluffy and soft and nice to touch

I bet he smells like dandelions and tree sap from the woods

Modern day au I think this man would have a skincare routine ngl

I think if he could I would actually be really really good at drawing!!! Like omfg I bet his penmanship from song wriitng

Man will sometimes unconsciously death grip Lucian while he's cuddling him by accident

Would slightly die inside if his favorite patisserie would go out of business and he couldn't get his almost croissants anymore

This man gives like the bestest hugs ever istg, they're tight and soft at the same time and theyre long but not too long that they over stay their welcome

Honestly....he'd slay in a summer dress, LIKE ESPECIALLY THOSE DAINTY WHITE ONES WITH SUNFLOWER PRINTS THAT GO SO WELL WITH A SUN HAT

Very very good at dexterity shit with his hands bc of wood carving, speaking of hands!

Very calloused and gritty on the sides bc of accidently nicking himself while making flutes and other wooden things, carrying logs, wood cutting etc etc

HE IS A FUCKING HEATER WHEN JT COMES TO CUDDLING, HE IS PERFECT FOR EXTRA COLD WINTER NIGHTS

(Modern au)Hates and I mean HATES SCARY AND GORY MOVIES WITH ALL HIS HEART

Actually more of a cat person than a dog person, as much as he gives off golden retriever bf vibes tho, they're just a lot calmer and more nice to be around...and they won't chew up his flutes!!!

(modern au) any movie relating to animals dying like a dogs purpose, Marley and me, etc etc. They make him go through all the stages of grief for a 5 day period.

He really really likes flannels too!!

That's it for now y'all!!! Have a nice day/night/evening!!

He has short reddish-brown curly hair, light brown skin with pale freckles, as well as golden eyes. There is a large scar that goes over his left eye, up to his hairline and down to his upper jaw. Gael is wearing a plain shirt with frills sewn onto the collar and sleeve cuffs, red string tied around them. A crest is embroidered on his shirt, over the left side of his chest. He is also wearing gloves. His expression makes him look slightly irritated. The second image is a halfbody drawing of Damian Dawn who is a superhero character. He is Japanese American, with short black hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. He is wearing a plain blue hoodie. Damian is facing profile left, tilting his head while smiling at something offscreen. He looks relaxed. The third image is a bust drawing of Aemaryll who is a D&D character. She is an elf with pale skin, green eyes, and bright green hair. She is looking off to the side with a thoughtful expression on her face. One of her ears is pierced with a chain connecting two piercings. Aemaryll is also wearing a lace adorned dress paired with a metal pauldron on her visible shoulder. The fourth image is a bust drawing of Kassandra Maripán Penning-Ho who is also called Kass for short. Kass Mapuche/Lakota/Korean/Japanese, with short black hair styled with an undercut as well as pierced ears. They are wearing a blue polo shirt paired with a large trenchcoat. They are looking off to the side with a cigarette in their mouth. The fifth image is a bust drawing of Sagittarius who is a D&D character. They are a blue tiefling, with grey eyes and straight horns that turn white at the tips. Their head is shaved, and they have white freckles. On top of their two eyes, three more are situated at the forehead, a dark blue compared to the other eyes. They are wearing a black turtleneck compared with grey/blue embroidered robes. The sixth image is a halfbody drawing of Baz. Baz has pale skin and choppy blond hair that covers her face, hiding her eyes and making their expression mysterious. He is wearing a turtleneck, paired with a large green coat with a fluffy collar. Baz is framed with a bunch of circling clouds. /end image description] finally done with what I drew for artfight in 2022. Lesson learned, I should have done image descriptions every time I finished a piece. hopefully if I do this again I plan better and can get these posted closer to when artfight happened aha.

Oops?

Backstory

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING FOR THE FOLLOWING⚠️ -Mentions and descriptions of Child abuse -Brief mentions of sexual assault -Religious Trauma

Velvari Tuneful was born to the name Belspira Swiftstalker a Tiefling born to two Human parents a rare occurrence but not unheard of but when Vel was born her parents thought their child was Possessed and they prayed to their god for an answer and when they went to their Bishop they were told to lock Vel up and let her starve so her body would weak to “Let the devil leave such a weak host body” But after years went by only give her little food and care to keep her barely alive she was still a Tiefling they went back to the Bishop but this time a Town Gaurd overheard and hurried over to the Swiftstalker’s family home to find a malnourished Velvari aged 8, she barely even knew common and could easily be mistaken for a toddler, the guard wrapped her up a took her to the local doctor and it seemed they had only been feeding her small bits bread and water, the doctor found scaring all over her body, signs of sexual assault, and it even looked like they tried to cut her horns off unsuccessfully, nobody in this town had seen abuse of this like in centuries but when the guard went after her parents they were gone as they seemed to of ran off, but the guards did manage to find and arrest the Bishop. After years of healing physically and mentally she was finally put up for adoption but years went by being the only Tiefling there for ages until she was 12 and another Tiefling entered a boy her age with bright red skin, black hair, and horns of a Highland Cow. Vel soon found out the boy's name was Valrit and they grew a close bond. Soon a half-elf girl still having her child name River would join their little group of misfits, after seeing all the kids come and go the three were always there together after a while they started calling themselves the Tuneful Sibling because they all spent most of their time writing tones and singing songs. After they all turned 18 they were kicked out onto the streets for a while they were petty pickpockets and shoplifters until more and more people started to join their group as it slowly turned into an organization Velvari was in charge of with her two favorite people in the world.
