when you say " i'll go easy on you ',:) " and then get your ass beat

[vaguely-concerned]

the parallels between morrigan and the mage warden (especially one who snitched on jowan and so isn't automatically doomed if they stay in the circle) both being unceremoniously kicked out by their parental figures from the isolated nests they've been cooped up in all their lives and sent flailing out into the real world to test their wings. the love that you can read in between the lines there from irving, and even flemeth -- in both cases this is a cause of action taken partly to save their children (from the circle, from the blight, from the isolation and constriction they would be doomed to otherwise), and in both cases it also opens them up to a world of new dangers. (I wonder if irving knows how many grey warden recruits die right off the bat. from his general character I think he might take that chance even if he knew because otherwise the circle is all but inescapable, but from what he says to amell/surana at the time and how set duncan is to keep that particular detail on the down low I feel more on the side of him not being aware.)

irving at least is encouraging and explains the outlines of what he's thinking even in his hurry to get you out the door, flemeth takes the opportunity to get in a few more stabs of emotional abuse haha. but I think my amell looks at morrigan's shock and partial dismay to be sent away with them so abruptly (and despite everything, the sting of it being so easy to do on her mother's part, emotionally) and feels a sympathetic sinking in her stomach. because yeah she knows that feeling too

Fluttercord fan kids!

No names yet. Wanted to play on the trope of the girl and boy kids looking like the mom/dad.

And the consequences of that. :0

Going to make it extra exaggerated- there is a prophecy on the day of little guys birth here that one of Flutters and Discords kids will try to overthrow harmony and could very well succeed. So naturally the guy using chaos magic at birth, we all gotta keep an eye on him. He’s going to cause problems if we aren’t careful! We all have to do our part for Equestria, no matter the sacrifices. :)

‘ Thank you for giving up going to your friends party tonight, sweetie, I know it was important to you, but your father and I have to go help take care of diplomatic tensions and then help manage a parasprite breakout…and you know your little brother only listens to me and you…”

“ Of course, mom! You know I always want to be helpful. It is the kind thing to do, after all…haha!”

“What did you do today, Quin?” Made/edited some toyhouse pages boom

she’s a whole mum she’s qualified to know what counts as baby

also surprise secret 4th sibling! It’s Gore the original older brother but relegated to second eldest in this au. Made him a Medusa (Gorgon? Is Medusa the species name for them in DD? Hmm) experiment who can’t petrify because he’s still got his premature scaling over his eyes. Blind can’t see shit. Dw Fe’gahl will accept his bro he’s just naturally yknow. wary about his lil sisters being turned to stone

JAY IS DONE. I haven't done a finished piece like this in forever and I forgot how long it takes LOL. Begging you on my hands and knees to zoom in on these.

James "Jay" "The Hammer" Hammer is an earth-genasi astral self monk (any pronouns). Their elemental heritage isn't super pronounced since they're a couple generations down from their dao ancestor. Though the opal texture on their teeth, eyes, nails, and palm of their hands was always present, the fact that their insides are multicolored only became unmissably apparent after they developed eczema as a child. It grew in severity in conjunction with her acne later on. Her body contains a supernaturally high amount of silica, which is what her wounds eventually scab over with after the normal blood coagulates. Jay is currently seeking to transcend the material form via a perfect workout routine and nutrition plan, and travels around in search of a more complete and informed worldview. That specific path to enlightenment is a bit unorthodox, but beyond that Jay is an extremely normal guy tbh.

His astral self is based on a design that appears in the music video film Beyond the Mind's Eye, except way beefier lol. As the color wheels on the mask turn, Jay's eyes change to match whichever color on the wheel is furthest to the front. I'll design the body at some point but I don't get that until way later. And I am very tired lol.

wound dehiscence can quickly escalate to infection or even evisceration

I saw a lot of people here sharing their OCs, so... Ladies and gentlemen, h e r: my precious girl since 2017 :D

Orfea was born and raised aboard a pirate carrier ship. Being the captain's daughter, it's fair to say that she learned to hold a blaster before she could speak articulately. This pirate (she does not even try to embellish reality, she is a pirate) visits Pabu from time to time to take a breath after long flights and sell some of the smuggling that she used to hunt.

Bonus:

Much inspired by @zaana doodles with her wonderful OC :D

...And yeah, those two won't get along for sure. Countdown to the fight I guess?

agh. the Endless Despair

[bosspigeon]

i gave Vataash the british voice bc i thought it'd be funny and now i've started delving into his backstory a lil bit more and i've decided his dad was a Free Marcher noble who just happens to like Large Women

people joke that he must get his temper from his mother, but he's just "My father, actually. He's nobility. Not used to being told no."

and upon researching a bit, ive decided his father is from Ostwick. if he weren't an Adaar, Vataash would have been a Trevelyan.

I think I found a father for my OC Molly. I don't have a name for him just yet, but he is based on this character I saw in Elmo's Mindfulness Spectacular (on YouTube).

lila thoughts under the read more <3 🥀✨🌹🎸

lila getting with griffin / g reign and having their little thing in “secret” not only bc it’s what her parents did to each other to get back at the other for slights and arguments but also bc she wanted to not only get back at seven but also to be like “oo look at me i can pull griffin freaking reign i won teehee.” and then the clown catches real feelings for griffin and calls jazz near in tears bc she’s just like her mom 🥀✨🎸🤡 and using someone she loves to get back at someone who she loved may or may not have even loved (i think she did but loved more the idea ? it’s complicated!) but loved the IDEA of seven loving her? dear you know it everyone knows it you want to be loved so bad!!!!!! the sooner you admit that lila the sooner you’ll be much happier my love! so excited to see where things go for her ! and things for her and her beloved g!!!!!

(x) for the divider <3

Try not 2 cry challenge almost failed in therapy today ughhh. Why does tearing up while talking abt the shit that bothers u feel so defeating...

[snailcubezz]

tell us more about jim and his ex pls

YAYAY OK so this might be long sorry

BIG TW for religious trauma, child abuse, internalized homophobia(?) and the fucked up ways it affects these characters that idk how to describe to be very honest with u

for starters, jim and bettie (his ex-wife) both grew up very sheltered in violently strict families who were obsessed with their public image as a Perfect Nuclear Family TM, especially at the church they both went to (which is also how they met)

and for a while, they were odd friends. neither knew how to socialize that well but they understood eachother in a way nobody else did. but later as they grew up and as their situations worsened, they had a really bad falling out (jim became more quiet, obedient and sensitive while bettie just got more fed up and aggressive, even to jim, because of their clashing trauma responses and some extreme dysphoria stuff she didn't have the words for yet) and not long after, jim hears that she ran away from home at age 12 and was never found.

jim's home life got BAD to the point of legal intervention when he was 11, and for a while after he was tossed around between other relatives (who weren't much better, although he got a bit more freedom to leave the house as he got older)

they found eachother again around their mid-teens, when jim moved way out of their hometown to live with one of his relatives (bettie recognized jim pretty easily bc he still dressed and looked nearly the same as he did as a kid LOL) and they got to catch up and reconcile <:]c she got help and support of her own after running away, and became a Lot happier after starting her transition !!

bettie became sort of his only support and escape from everything during that time, and as they grew closer and hung out again more, they started to date. this was a HUGE step in jim getting further away from the constant fear of judgement his family left on him, and pushing back on the "what would my parents think, what would god think" etc. paranoia/guilt he was stuck with for so long.

and while he still has that, and a whole lot of self worth issues and disgust with himself resurfacing from being genuinely loved for the first time (+ since he was still an egg at the time, and viewed their relationship as wlw, theres That factor there too in the "i'm a disgusting unlovable sinner and any second they'll find out and i'll get my punishment" view of himself and any time he let himself be happy) he at least had her, and her friend groups to help him

not long later, jim fully moved in with bettie and the people she was staying with, and he got therapy for a while too ! and in doing so, and processing more of his trauma and feelings better, he realized that he's a trans man and came out to bettie. (and of course, she was ecstatic for him and was So Ready to help him with any steps that he wanted to take with transitioning. she cut his hair for him bc he couldn't bring himself to do it and he was an overjoyed sobbing mess on her when she was done hehsjbdg)

around the same time, they found out they were gonna have al and their life sorta shifted to preparing for that (jim got an easy office job for the psychonauts and has been working there since then, they saved money towards being able to take care of her etc.)

they were married for a solid few years (and only divorced because jim realized that he's gay,) and they still keep close contact and care for eachother and their daughter a lot !!! and al loves her parents :)c

[mistfallenjoyer]

thinking about changing Lucy's whole "parent" situation.

I actually kinda wanna project a bit onto her about having a pretty bad relationship with her dad? And maybe finding a better father figure in Herman. I've been thinking that maybe she could be close to her mother but have a very emotionally absent and just uninterested-in-parenting father.

(there is a lot of stuff in the tags uhhh sorry)
