#Haven tag

[giratina-plushie]

every year i draw a piece with haven in on new year's eve. it's become something of a tradition. here's this year's!

this is a redraw so i've left the original under the cut for comparison

safe to say i've improved a lot since i drew this in i thiiink mid-late 2021. and i'm proud of that :3

Helena of course for Bingo, and hmm also Black Canary to mix it up

Helena! I'm just a bit unhinged.

There are only two characters I've ever wanted to kiss. One of them is Helena. I don't know if I want to be with her, be her, or if I just project too much. I will not explain anymore than that.

Black Canary

She's really high on my Locg list, but I'm not completely insane about her. She is dear to me, and the DinahBabs Yuri is real and true to me.

This is what my abjuration wizard's search history looks like:

(alternate caption: when you have a lifespan of <100 years and you desperately want to protect your friends for their whole lives)

ID below the cut

Begin ID: a fake Google search with a dropdown of previous search terms. In order from oldest to most recent, they are: "how long do elves usually live," "how to help my friends if they live longer than me," "how to live forever without hurting people," "wizard immortality options," "are there any good liches," "do liches need to be evil," "can liches protect their friends," and "how to ethically become a lich." End ID.

Thinking about Robin and Sunday's halos.

About how Robin's halo isn't a closed circle, but more like a branch forming a circular shape, where the start and stem don't touch. It's also uneven in shape and splits into three flowers, like it's allowed to grow freely, unobstructed. Something about Robin having left Penacony and having escaped the confines of her cage, being able to flourish. About her being able to let people in, and connect to them.

Meanwhile Sunday stayed behind to be the head of the Oak family and conform to the strict role that's expected of him, and his halo is a perfectly symmetrical shape that's practically fully closed off. It's sharp, almost more like a crown of thorns than a halo. And it almost doesn't have any openings to let anything, or anyone, in easily. It actively discourages getting close to it.

And then if you want to get sappy about, which I will - Sunday doesn't let anyone in, with that almost completely sealed, thorny halo of his... But there's an opening in Robin's halo, and so it can fit around Sunday's. Something about him always being able to find solace in her, because there's room for him in her (halo) heart always, by design.

Anyway I'm not normal about them.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

oh there are plenty. but the one that comes to mind first is during session 5 of season 1 of beloved beloved ttrpg of hearthfire's crown. this was during a time in my life where i was a little bit Going Through It and that session was the happiest i'd felt in a long, long time

the specific moment i remember was when i made a joke (which believe it or not was not something i was in a habit of doing at the time) and people laughed at the joke, rather than me, and it felt good, so i started making jokes more often, and here i am now, my first commitment at all times being the bit

@ all the hfc folks i love you so much do you understand. + you changed my life for the better. + i am crying now but it's ok.

10, 11, 19, 21, 35 for the dnd meme, mostly because I like those questions for my own PC, lol

I'm gonna roll a d12 for which PC to answer each of these for, since I so conveniently have 12 characters I've played in campaigns!

10. How does your PC fidget?

Whist doesn't fidget much or get impatient easily, thanks to a lifetime of hunting, stealth and forestcraft. They tend to stand completely immobile and stare at people instead, which is vastly more unsettling. I think they often care for their weapons in quiet moments though -- fiddling with the fletching on their arrows, sharpening arrowheads, whatever. They also occasionally touch and handle their longbow, which belonged to their mother, as a source of comfort. That's magical, however, and therefore doesn't require as much physical upkeep.

11. How does your PC show affection?

Okay Qree is an aarokocra, let me google some bird facts real quick...

Well! At a glance, several sources suggest birds of prey don't really express affection, but they do show trust by carrying out their own business as usual when you're nearby. So I'm picturing Qree, who grew up in an aarokocra community, just spending quality time with people and assuming they understand that means he likes them. Maybe bring back treats/small gifts while out flying, after realizing other people might not recognize his usual behavior as affection? Or just telling them in simple language that he cares about them.

19. What is your PC’s Pokemon Gym Leader type and Signature Pokemon?

Oof, that's kind of hard. Lei's theme is white light and cold silver fire, so I'm actually tempted to say Ice. And probably Alolan Ninetales, for the theme of "looks like fire but will actually freeze you to death."

Or maybe Dark type, with all those Pokemon that look sleek and sexy right before fucking you up-- Absol, Liepard, Umbreon, etc.

21. What tarot would your PC be?

I only played Ned for a few sessions, but she was supposed to be the Sun -- warm-hearted, optimistic and energetic. I don't have a lot of characters whose default state is a good mood.

35. If your PC was a dating option in a farming simulator (a la harvest moon or stardew valley), what kind of items would they like?

I rolled Haven this time! She's very easy to please. Books, paper and pens are the obvious choices, and will endear you to her forever. Her loved ones have also been known to bring her snacks and things because she forgets to feed herself -- Klaus sometimes brings her mangoes, which she makes an enormous mess eating but enjoys very much. Of course, if you're actually trying for romance, you'll have to be more forward than that, because she's very oblivious. It took all three of the other party members to get her now-fiancee a first date with her.
