This is the book of Oberon, a working sorcerers grimoire from Elizabethan England.

A main part of my practice relies on old English folk magic, Bible magic and grimoire practices that were available here. This book represents a Cunning Man’s collection of excerpts from several different grimoires that had been compiled over time and used in a kind of modular fashion, depending on what was needed that day. It is packed full of amulets, charms, conjurations and rituals which reflect a lot of what the English tradition of magic was like at the time.

While I don’t think it is possible to practice like the cunning folk did, 500 odd years ago, I do think a very functional, modern day English magic practice can be put together using components and methods from these books. In fact this is how I have worked with this stuff for many years.

Maelric Veyron Arcenaux, now 28, is the last living member of a powerful voodoo family, once revered for their deep connection to magic, the nature and spirits of the swamp. He mostly uses earth magic, works with crystals, bones, herbs and other plants like his mother did. At 23, a dark magic sorceress with malicious power caused the mysterious disappearance of his parents, Jean-Baptiste and Moirae Arcenaux, and his younger sister, Aimé. Despite the years that have passed, Maelric refuses to believe they are dead and continues to search for them, clinging to the hope that they are still alive.

Now living alone in the heart of the Louisiana swamps, Maelric runs a tavern called 'The Swamp’s Heart', a refuge for all kinds of mystical beings seeking shelter from the outside world. His only companions are Onyx and Coral, two loyal alligators he raised as a child. Though the pain of his loss lingers, Maelric’s life is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of his family.

Also because you all know I see Scotland in all things, I am interested in the Byron/Strange friendship not only because they are hilarious, but because there's all this stress on them being chaotic examples of the English magician and the English poet when both were partly raised in Scotland.

my favourite trope in media is when a character that has a character arc ending for him and a big change in his life upcoming, goes teaching his subject of passion

Rayman Head Canons: Voice Claims Part 2

So a little note before we begin, Rayman Retold had a few faces that were introduced in Rayman 2. I found out that The Great Escape (PS1) and Rayman Revolution (PS2) versions had completely different types of voice acting when it came to the English dubbing. A few of the credited voices had "Rayman 2," but not really anything specific. I'll have to rely on clips and I might not have much info on the voice actors in question.

-----------------------------------------------

Admiral Razorbeard:

I've changed the voice claim from when this post was first made. As much as I loved the previous one, I decided to go back to giving Admiral Razorbeard the voice he had in Rayman Revolution.

Razorbeard was going to be another major villain within the Rayman Retold Project I was working on. Despite his defeat, he was going to return sometime down the line alongside his wife.

-----------------------------------------------

Jano, The first Nightmare:

Jano actually has 2 voice claims: One when he speaks English, and one that is his native Nightmarish tongue.

For his English lines, I did research and my results were pretty empty. considering Jano actually had 2 English voice actors that depended on which version of Rayman 2 you played and they were VERY different voice portrayals.

Here's the differences between the Rayman 2 playstation games with Jano's English voice:

When Jano speaks English, it's the voice he had within Rayman Revolution, or the PS2 version. It's the language you hear him use the most when he's communicating with members of the glade that enter his lair.

Within Rayman Retold, his native tongue is a language only used by creatures of nightmare origin. It's mostly referred to as “Nightmarish” but doesn’t actually have an official name. for Jano, its the “Raymanese” voice sound effect he had from Rayman 2.

You don't normally hear Jano pulling the nightmarish language and the voice that goes with it unless he is in a fit of rage, or he’s attempting to corrupt those into his puppets.

Princess Barbara:

Ruth Connell. She was the voice for Princess Merida in video games and Sofia the First.

Ales Mansay the Teensie Magician

Jess Harnell.

I blame this on when I was shown scenes from Sophia the First, and when I was picking up Ales' Pig Latin voice lines from Origin one night. I couldn't unhear this since, and now I portray Ales with the same vibes and personality as Cedric.

i'm ngl, this archon quest is REALLY GOOD but also it's singlehandedly making me want to prioritize venti over wriothesley on the next banners... like. wrio looks really fucking cool and would be a great addition to my "aesthetically pleasing genshin men" collection, buuuuuut i already have the whole magician trio, and i think i'd feel kind of bad about making them share account space with the person who just horribly traumatized lyney... TvT

[nidorinas]

so badly wish this game had an English translation (i prefer this one to the only game in the series that got an English release)
