hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! so I just finished watching Karakasa and naturally I came online to peek into the fandom. I've noticed people referring to the Medicine Seller in this movie as Kon. now when I first saw the trailer I obviously noticed that his design was different. I chalked that up to them just mixing stuff up for the movie. obviously in the movie his alternate form when he draws his sword is also very different from how it looked in the original series. is this a different guy? is that why he's called Kon?

Hi hello! Thanks for the ask! You'd be correct this medicine seller is a completely different guy than the one from the original series

I am not 100% knowledgeable on this topic so pick some of the stuff I say with a pinch of salt

After the movie was released in japan the director made a huge lore drop about the existence of a total of 64 medicine sellers as there are 64 hexagrams in the Bagua, the fandom collectively decided to nickname the two canon medicine sellers we have as of now depending on the sword they wield, having the movie medicine seller as Kon as he said he wielded that sword, and series medicine seller as Ri since, if I'm not mistaken, him wielding the Ri was part of the lore drop that the director gave

I'd highly recommend either checking the translations of some of the lore drops that happened or nacch-an's Lore Crash Course!

Tbh I think we all thought it was the same guy as in the series with a different design before the director told us, we've all been there jksdhfjkdshfks

ive been coming out as ftm to my parents and friends and everytime i come out i have to like educate them on everything trans, its really annoying but i dont want to be an asshole and just not educate them you know?

Dang that’s annoying. tbh i don’t know how that really feels bc i’m not out to most people I know (whoops) but yeah i can imagine it can get old having to answer questions all the time and not really just be and feel at ease w it i guess. They probably have good intentions if they keep asking you about it but maybe asking nicely to tone it down or maybe just not talking about it for a few days will let it sort of sink in for them? idk how long you’ve been out to them so i couldn’t really say also i’m probably not the best person to ask since i’m not out and the people i am out to don’t really ask me stuff if at all so I apologize if this doesn’t really answer anything but I hope I helped even in the tiniest bit. I hope everything smooths out!!

#50 from your wrapped

Hi Null! Thanks for the ask

For num 50 here I have... Omfg whyyyyyyyy JSDFHSJKDHF

Ok some context behind this of another of the "This is here because of an OC playlist" specifically because I have mf Don Dragón/Argentum and I heard randomly that song and went "Yeah it fits enough" and added it to their playlist, so here we have a very specific Eleanor Rigby remix made by Cody Fry, they already have the og one in their playlist so it just fit right through

Fun Fact: 51 is the original Eleanor Righby by The Beatles

[eligobrrrrr]

What is 3 of your Spotify Wrapped? If someone has already asked for 3, what is 7? (You do not have to do both-)

okay goodbye-

Hello Hero! Thanks for popping by! And now I am going to answer both of them fuck you/j/aff

So for the num 3 here we got November by Sparkbird! Here we have another of the "This is here because of an OC playlist" in this case the Davh playlist, no I will not elaborate JKDSAHFJKADSHFJKA

Ironically num 7 also is a "This is here because of an OC playlist" but now because of Sergil, here we have ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? by Negative 25

[eligobrrrrr]

24 and 98 for the Spotify wrapped asks~

Hi hello! Thank you for the ask!

For num 24 here we have News from Nowhere by Graeme James! This song is part of one of my OC playlists sjdhfkjsh, I originally found it through a Halsin from BG3 playlist that I really loved, it fit the vibe so I added it to my oc's

Now for num 98 here we have... Oh this is a good one that definitely should be higher, Walla Walla by Glass Animals! I've been listening to this band for some years now and ZABA is one of my favourite albums ever each song just has a vibe. Fun Fact: This song is currently one of my wake up alarms!

[eligobrrrrr]

Hi babes, I hope you're having a good day! For your ask game:

🐱 and 🦐

HAHA GET BOOPED BACK >:)

Anyways, Hi Chris! (Is it ok if I call you Chris?)

🦐 - tell me about a character or story that is giving you shrimp emotions right now

omg SO, I'm still very emotionally invested right now on Thurak, my dearest half-orc barbarian cus I'm still working on his story and properly writing it down, maybe do some comics on events I consider happen in-game but don't happen actually cus they're innately tied to his backstory (So character interactions, fights and stuff)

So Imma just write down a short-ish summary of his backstory just because I have to let it out somehow, it is consuming my brain like a tadpole (I am also severely breaking canon on some parts, probably)

Draft of Thurak's backstory under the cut

So Thurak was born in the surface (probably Waterdeep), son of a human man and an orc woman, they were happy as a family... for just 2 years.

Yeah so turns out a criminal organization (specifically the Iron Ring) had an eye on them and Thurak got snatched very young because of that. When he was about 2 years old he was brought to Skullport in the Underdark where he was raised by one of the high commands of the Iron Ring, a male drow whom is currently unnamed. He was tasked to raise him and turn him into an useful asset for them

This drow was his father figure growing up, teaching him how to speak and how to read (So Thurak's main language isn't common, is drowidic and undercommon), acting as a somewhat loving parent for him

His father introduced him to the concept of an arena the Iron Ring had to get him interested, slowly manipulating him to make him believe that he wanted to participate, and when Thurak was older his father started to get him to train to actually go into the arena

And Thurak did it ever so eagerly, becoming and absolute beast and somewhat of a star in there, earning the title of 'The Skullcrusher' (Because he was/is able to do that)

The Iron Ring is known in the Underdark for their slave trade, and in my version they use this arena as a showcase for some of them

His father actively tried to keep him away of all this slaves, mostly out of fear that they would undo all the hard work he put into manipulating him when he saw their condition (cus he lied to Thurak telling him that every warrior chose to be there)

Unfortunately he couldn't stop him and he became friends with someone there, and, well, Thurak told his father about his friend, father went "Not in my watch" and to be a lil bitch he arranged a deathmatch between the two of them

Thurak is alive so you can imagine how it went

Back at home he returned to his father absolutely fuming, basically screaming at him how he could let something like that happen, how dare he let something like that happen, father just responded like "Take it as a little lesson, don't get close to those people, now now, join me for dinner," Thurak was obviously enraged by this, still screaming at him, so his father threatened him that if he didn't behave he would throw him with the rest of his "friends" as he put it

Thurak snapped at him, almost punched him, got stopped by one of his father's bodyguards and he was, in fact, thrown with the rest of the slaves, telling him that he was very disappointed of him and to take this as his punishment. Thurak went from living in luxury to the slumps basically

He was bitter and angry and sad, he had, so many conflicting emotions at that point. There he met more of the fighters, and they slowly but surely started making a break out plan

Some time of planning passes (could be months could be a couple of years) and with Thurak's knowledge of the arena both in and out they managed a plan to break out and leave Skullport and the Underdark for good

Long story short, they succeeded, not everyone got out but most of their team did

So they returned to the surface, becoming something akin to a caravan, travelling from city to city, Thurak became one of the main protectors, he had to put to use that strength for something

They unfortunately were in Baldur's Gate at the time of the Nautiloid snatching, so Thurak (and other people from the caravan) got taken

This is some in-game event notes (This is Thurak as a companion stuff basically):

Very minor notes, his main objective would be to find the other people who got snatched, slowly finding out along the way that for some god forsaken reason the Iron Ring got somehow involved with the cult of the absolute (through the underdark slave trade)

His 'final boss' would be his father basically, still working on that interaction

He canonically is a wild magic barb and there are some lore stuff that made me point to his magic surges being probably netherese magic

Mostly cus Skullport is built atop netherese ruins and the tadpole probably awaken some residual power Thurak was carrying with him

SO YES, that is all my notes from Thurak's backstory

He is making me go absolutely mental I love him sm I need to do more stuff with his story (as in write, art, etc.)

Anyways thank you for the ask! I love talking about my silly (sometimes not so little) guys!

Hello! Also popping in your inbox to bother you lol

How's life? Got any exciting/fun plans coming up?

Oh hi Bec!

I am here trying to actually get a college project done because this dude thought it was a good idea to study programing (I actually enjoy it it's just that this project has been a nightmare), I was tasked to recreate pacman from the ground up and the deadline is tomorrow

I am screaming, I am suffering along with my teammates, but we're going to finish this goddamn project

Aside from collage stuff I'm actually trying to get back to drawing as often as I did because I miss it a bit, I also got a more powerful pc so I have been modding some games to hell and back

So I'm just vibing with my existence atm jadhjas

[eligobrrrrr]

Hi! I'm gonna return the favor because I wanna hear some fun facts for your OCs, too! I'll ask it here so you can mention any of the OCs you wanna talk about, not just BG3

Omg this took longer than I wanted SO! As a challenge to myself I tried to write a fun fact of most of my characters (both D&D and BG3), some are missing due to them being generally underdeveloped

(The * means I have already played this character in a campaign, oneshot, or in bg3)

Ace Goldstring*

My beloved lightfoot halfling, college of spirits bard, sorry about getting you involved with Xanathar and the Zhentarim. So he has teal eyes with the ghost inside as a side effect of him being a spirit medium, if he wasn't his eyes would be brown like the rest of his family.

Davhomin Siannodel Brightwood*

The first one to be made and my dearest boy whom I apparently just like to put in situations. He has a garden back in his house in Silverymoon that he loves very much and gets worried about when he has toi go far for an extended period of time, usually other members of the church of Ilmater take care of it or sometimes his dad does.

Enoch Hume

Half-elf (drow) wizard. Student of Strixhaven, Quandrix School, very very tired he needs some sleep so much, one of his counsellors is a shifter werecat(mechanically a weretiger but I just wanted to make it a calico cat) for the theory side of the school.

Heinrich von Wenninger*

Ah yes, my dhampir vampire hunter. He has a cane, it was from his old teacher whom tragically passed away, he still carries it around everywhere as a memento, the cane is also quite interesting, it's part of the gothic trinkets list from Curse of Strahd/Van Richten's Guide, so the tip can generate sparks, instead of it being magical I made it like it is a small mechanism that with enough force could generate a small fire (and that definitely didn't come back to bite me in his oneshot/j)

Icarus Nephus

My scourge aasimar, sunsoul monk whom is basically a greek demigod (child of Apollo). He knows how to play the flute quite well, he learned to do it back in his monastery in Elturel. I also change his name slightly depending if I'm talking in English or Spanish (Icarus/Ícaro)

Nolan

They're the amneciacTM character, meant to be given to the dm and see what chaos unfolds, the few things I have stablished is that he has stitches and an odd scar in their chest powering their wild magic and is mortally afraid of mirrors.

Professor Meadowheart

Teacher in Strixhaven, Quandrix School, he's known to give one of the easiest classes for the first year students and one of the hardest for the last year students. He's also Enoch's counsellor embodying the substance part of quandrix. He has a raven familiar and definitely isn't conflicted about that (Shadar Kai that basically escaped the Shadowfell).

Yín Lóng/Argentum*

My silver dragon whom was cursed to be in human form. Loves loves loves books, they canonically have a library in the abandoned temple that they live in, also the story hook for their adventure is that someone stole one of the books, a very dangerous one so they're going to retrieve it (+ being stuck in human form and trying to transform back).

Thurak*

Half-Orc Wild Magic Barbarian. I have made reference to this several times but I never get tired about talking about it, he has a broken lyre cus he tried to play music and failed. On a fun fact related to his backstory, he actually doesn't know how to speak orcish and is actually still learning common.

Mayhem*

My tiefling monk, child of a cambion and grandchild of an incubus (Inherited being able to switch between a male and female form). Used to stealing people when they were younger then became part of the same monastery of Icarus in Elturel, Mayhem arrived first then Icarus did, Mayhem was dragged into Avernus while Icarus was in Baldur's Gate. They're besties.

Sergil*

Seldarine Drow (Technically an Aevendrow) gloom stalker ranger. He a lil bitch, a lil shit/pos, he doesn't know who Drizzt Do'Urden is and at this point he's too afraid to ask.

[eligobrrrrr]

Hello, Eli!

For the One Question Thingie-

What is your favorite drink and why?

I WAS ANSWERING THIS THEN FORGOR ALJHFDLKAJFL

Ok so, I like tea in general, specially green tea of any variety, this includes matcha, I fuckin love matcha

People say it tastes like grass, or that it's too strong, or that it's too bitter but I just love it sm it's unreal

I learned to make matcha frappe even just because I love it sm and I wanted an option for the summer

[eligobrrrrr]

All your art is so cool and good and I very much enjoy it. Saw you liked one of my posts, probably cause Bard reblogged it. Anyways. You are pretty neat. How do draw like that?

(Sorry for taking this long to answer aaaaaa)

AH AKGHFDJAGHBFCJKA THANK YOU!!!! (Yes, probably because bard reblogged it, guilty as charged lmao)

Omg I've been drawing for some time now and I'm not a ver good teacher buy I'll try to explain my process, both for my doodles and my more detailed pieces (so this gonna be a long post sorry not sorry)

For my little doodles I'm very shape oriented, the head is always an oval and the ears can be either triangles or also circles hanging low on the head

Sketch of my most recent doodle with his outline

Also the body is usually a hourglass shape, sometimes the top is bigger, sometimes the bottom is bigger, I draw the legs starting with the pront line and then I give it shape with the back lines, the arms are just noodles and circles jahdkhjad

---------

For this kinds of doodles I usually just put line after line, erasing and puting as I go, sometimes there's a really basic sketch underneat

----------

For my more detailed pieces I usually think about the skeleton underneat, I start with the clasic head circle, detailing the jawbone and stuff, then I move to the torso, I draw a vague ribcage shape por it, same for the hips, I draw a vague pelvis shape for it, then I connect them, the arms and legs are usually not so straight lines

Sketch of Thurak for reference
