You know what? Fuck you *Shuffles your Pokemon OCs*

[ghoul--doodle]

ooh what does possessed! 8-ball look like?

Something like this!

Hawthorne’s possession makes physical changes to the host, turning them more into what he used to look like- but it happens over a long period of time, so in the beginning 8-ball didn’t look too far off his normal self

Do you have any vessel oc’s? If not, what are your vessel head cannons?

I have one (well, technically 2), but I don't really do much with them because fandom ocs are admittedly not really my thing unless I'm accidentally turning my player character into one (Aeris Sharphawk my beloved). My vessel ocs are a pair of twins called Hawthorne and Thistle, but Thistle was killed when they were both teenagers, their mask shattered beyond repair, so Hawthorne took their shade into themselves. They now wander the wastelands between kingdoms to bring gentle deaths and quiet burials to those who are lost, and are mates with a firefly called Flicker, who WAS a graverobber before Hawthorne caught them. I don't really do much with 'em other than think of them fondly sometimes.

As for vessel headcanons, here we go!

-Vessels who are capable of surviving outside of the egg (true-voided, or at least mostly-voided) have a body that is basically void doing its damned best to mimic the internal organs and function of living bugs. It's material that's working off of the genes left behind by PK and WL to construct a Creature, but since it's still just primordial goop trying to be a living being, everything is a little more elastic or flexible than a flesh-and-blood entity. Hence why Hollow could do their tentacle attack, and why Ghost could '''eat''' the crystal heart by just...idk, absorbing it through their chest

-Technically breathing and organ functions aren't 100% essential, but since they started off as biological beings that then were formed of void-goop, their bodies will panic after a long time without it. Just because they're made of void instead of proteins doesn't mean that they don't still need some semblance of a living vessel. Blame PK's genes holding a biological memory of being a wyrm pre-ascension for that one

-They don't need to eat unless they are lacking in void, though, so hunger isn't really a thing that bothers them. The only time they really feel it is if they are about to go through a molt and need a hell of a lot more void to grow bigger, or if they've been severely injured and need to regain a lot more of it. What they eat doesn't matter- they're capable of turning everything from bug chitin to steel into pure void

-Their masks are sort of the main thing holding them together because it's a strong reminder of what their form is supposed to be. Without it, their exoskeleton will dissolve and they will just sort of melt out as an amoeba-like being of void, which is what the shades are. Not being able to find their masks again/the masks being shattered beyond repair is what causes a 'death', where the shade is unable to return to their mortal shell and is instead damned to live in a transient state until someone dissipates their form. Entering another's mask cannot be done without explicit consent

-Because they were all formed from the remnants of a long-dead ancient god, they all share a sort of telepathic link, as if they were all still singular parts of one massive entity. Cutting themselves off from one another is possible, but it is distressing to the individual. This is also why they are far more social than the other gods; technically they all view themselves as one unit rather than individual parts

-Their communication is not based on an exchange of words, but rather on a lack of it. You can't really call void communication 'voidspeak' because of it. Even if they call or hum to each other, it is more of a vibration through the void sea or a deafening of silence that forms their communication, if they aren't just directly impressing their thoughts and feelings into the other's void so that they know what each other are thinking

-Speaking of that, they don't think in words, but in shapes and sensations. Technically speaking, translating those shapes and sensations into sentences is possible, but it would always be taciturn, awkward, and lose a lot of the inflection behind it, because you're trying to turn a three-dimensional parcel of information into a two-dimensional sentence with past or present tenses. It just doesn't work very well, and this is why very voided beings like Ghost or Hollow probably wouldn't speak very often even if they had the ability to do so. Same with sign; I headcanon Hollow to learn sign, but only speak in very simple sentences or single-word fragments, while Ghost knows sign but just doesn't use it at all. Better to impress their thoughts onto an other's mind than to bother with something that loses so much of their meaning

-Attempting to understand a void-impression on your thoughts is also quite difficult without practice. You have to actively listen and allow their thoughts to mingle with yours to get an idea of what they mean. Most of the time, it manifests more as you subconsciously understanding what they are telling you with a glance or body language than being actively aware that they are touching their mind against yours

-Void is tied to regret, the lack of all things, death, and entropy/lack of entropy. Void beings, then, are capable of sensing the shadow of regret within other people, the areas where their bodies are not, and what is set in active decay and what is held in stasis. In a way, they view people less as a form existing in empty space, and more the area where there is no empty space- if that makes sense

-This is also why void beings tend to be more passive gods. The Pale King, White Lady, and Radiance all needed active worship of their different elements to receive sustenance. In contrast, there will always be death, regret, fear, and silence given freely from the populace, whether they are aware of it or not. Active worship is nice, but it is not necessary, because there will always be someone who fears or is becoming one with the void

Thank you to both @n7viper and @rosella-writes who tagged me to create my blorbos using this pic-crew. Presenting my four favourite blorbos: Briana Cousland, Quinn Trevelyan, Ser Horatio Morris, and Hawthorne.

Tagging: @blarrghe @plisuu @cleverblackcat @sulky-valkyrie @noire-pandora @inquisitoracorn @darethshirl @bluewren and I suppose anyone else I've forgotten who wants to make their Dragon Age blorbos.

IM BAD AT VIDEO GAMES 👍

[wanderingtheark]

simply because bingle juice is owl alcohol, i'm gonna ramble about my ga'hoole ocs

arche gets sooooo silly and affectionate when she's drunk

but hawthorne is not allowed near the bingle juice, he doesn't want it either

he dissociates, which triggers breakdowns or violent outbursts from his time at st aggies, so it's best not to let him touch it (not that he would anyway)

what kind of drunk is your oc?

Today’s textured canvases once again featuring that Legally Mom AU 😁

Miles and Phoenix were never separated, and so they remained best friends through high school and college. They both went to law school, but Phoenix got a BFA and went to law school wanting to defend artistic and creative rights. He also went because he would be bored all day if Miles was still going to school and he wasn’t

Edgeworth actually becomes a lawyer and he works at his mother’s firm

Mia ends up working there instead of at Grossberg’s because it makes more sense that she would work at the firm connected to DL-6 and also uh she would have a woman as her boss lmao (Eleanor ends up becoming like a mother-figure for Mia, and Miles becomes like a younger brother to her)

Since Mia isn’t working at Grossberg’s, she wasn’t involved in the Fawles trial (which was prosecuted by Franziska). Diego was the defense attorney on that one, and he went on a solo mission to investigate Dahlia. He and Mia met and became friends, but Diego kept the Dahlia investigation close to his chest and a secret, partially to protect Mia (since they were friends now and since she was a new attorney and inexperienced). Diego and Mia finally ask each other out one day, and they plan to have a date later that week, but Diego then has to go to a meeting he has…which was with Dahlia…and he got poisoned…and by the time he wakes up, Mia is dead and they never got to go on that first date. He was asleep and unable to protect her, which is why he didn’t tell her about the Dahlia investigation in the first place. He ends up blaming the Edgeworths (Eleanor and Miles) for her death.

Dahlia (Iris) still dates Phoenix since Phoenix and Miles are dummies and have yet to confess their feelings for each other (although Eleanor can tell). Since Mia wasn’t a part of the Dahlia investigation, and since it was handled by a different firm, it didn’t raise any red flags when Phoenix started dating this chick. Phoenix was also in the courthouse library that day because, again, he wanted to go to law school with Miles (subconsciously pulling an Elle Woods).

When the murder of Doug happens, Miles isn’t a lawyer yet since, even though he could have skipped a grade or two, he never did because he didn’t want the increase in social isolation and also didn’t want to get separated from his friends he already had at his grade level. So he’s the same year as Phoenix (senior in college). I think Eleanor would then be the one defending Phoenix (rather than Mia) since she’s also basically a mother to him (he practically lived at the Edgeworth household since his home life wasn’t great, and then he moved in after his mother passed away his senior year of high school. So he’ll call her Mom and such, but he doesn’t refer to Miles as his brother and neither does Eleanor refer to them as brothers since She Knows What They Are [even if they don’t really know yet lmao])

We also figured out that for Turnabout Goodbyes, Eleanor is the one framed for Hammond’s murder since MVK wants to get rid of her as she is still trying to investigate the truth and he can’t have that. Miles has to defend his own mother BUT THEN when Miles starts saying the stuff about how he probably is the one who killed his own father, Eleanor then defends HIM and it’s just…Ough…mother son bonding over murder and death of father 😭😭😭😭

Just some thoughts 😁

He's not quite used to this whole adventuring thing yet, but he's doing his best.

[wanderingtheark]

i have gog ocs now. i love them (i've had arche for years actually but only just now drew her)

and yeah arche is purple but i literally color picked a photo reference of a melanistic barn owl LMAO

hawthorne was a guard at st. aegolius whose moon blinking was botched, and arche is a spy for the guardians stationed at st aggies. she helps hawthorne escape and they become mates once they get back to the great ga'hoole tree, since they're both known by the st. aggies guards and pretty much designated KOS arche was retired from the search and rescue chaw and hawthorne was given time to rest and recover from his time at st aggies

i am very normal about guardians of ga'hoole, please ask me about these goobers

their toyhouses: arche - hawthorne

Wiggle Icons Part I

haven't posted in a bit because i've been working on these!! wanted to make my toyhou.se pretty so i made a cute lil icon of a character from each folder/region :>

[ghoul--doodle]

I forgot to post this!

This was for a flag design assignment for my coursework- where we had to design a flag for something we aspire to make! So for me that was Nebula Quest :}

This is actually going to be printed onto fabric at some point so I’ll post about that soon!

[ruthlesslistener]

For the oc asks: glance + arms for Hawthorne and Thistle? (I really like what you mentioned about them)

Yeee, my vessel wanderers! Or, well, one and a half wanderers, since Thistle no longer has a body, rip

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

-Their complex, curving horns. Both Hawthorne and Thistle took after the White Lady in terms of horn growth, which means that they both look pretty gnarly at their adult moult (and are thus complicated as hell to draw)

arms: Does your OC have any weapons? What weapons do they carry, and how do they wear them when they're not fighting?

-Hawthorne doesn't really need a weapon, as they mostly traverse the outskirts of civilization and are large and intimidating enough to scare off anyone who might think to mug them (and they are capable of hunting anything that thinks otherwise). However, they do have a very large, heavy wooden walking staff with a hook for a lantern at the top and metal tip at the bottom that is more than sufficient for the job, so I'll count that as a weapon

Oc ask game
