Dragon warband (1305 AE, 16-17 years old, at graduation from the fahrar)

Ardea Dragonblaze - Legionnaire, elementalist Aurelia Goredragon - Ardea's partner, warrior Sidonia Chaindragon - Ardea's older half-sister, guardian Odhran Dragonfly - Obsius's albino twin, mesmer Obsius Dragonprowl - Aurelia's best friend, thief Kouran Dragonheart - the mom friend, engineer Reeva Dragonblast - the one with the joke, engineer-ish Lupita Wilddragon - the quiet one, ranger Rorick Dragonbreath - the Orr nerd, necromancer

Can't believe I had them since late 2017, but years later they finally have a design! Now to draw them around 15 years later, and finish their small refs for their fullbody design... sometimes in the future, gotta catch up on the easy oc-tober challenge first (9 out of 31).

Some trivia from the wip, and some new trivia! - Having just gotten out of the fahrar, they're full of confidence and bravado. Granted, they're quite capable, more than their age shows, but they still have some important growing up to do at this point. - The necklace Ardea wears was made from an amber gem Aurelia found during training when they were younger. She gifted it to her because it was the same color of her eyes and Ardea had it made into a necklace. - When they became official, Ardea started braiding unruly tufts of her mane with locks of Aurelia's (she keeps it short anyway). - Sidonia is not only more buff and tall than most female charr, but she's also extremely fluffy, especially in winter. She doesn't mind it that much, and luckily her sister is always up for helping her out with grooming. - After Rorick, Lupita gets along the most with Obsius and Odhran. One wouldn't say so from how the twins mostly ignore her (she's always quiet anyway), but there's never been a team like them in the fahrar when it comes to kitchen raids and similar nighttime expeditions. - Reeva never really figured out what she wanted to be, which played heavily into her insecurities during the first years in the fahrar. Kouran helped her a lot after she stopped bullying him, and she became a bit of a jack of all trades. While she doesn't like calling herself an engineer, she considers herself a top-tier engineer assistant. - Rorick got quite fucked up during a spell gone wrong, months before he joined the fahrar when he was still figuring out his magic. The result was much uglier and zombie-looking for a while, as the spell had quite literally consumed life force out of his body, with his face and hands having taken the brunt of it, but after lots of healing his skin became just furless and kind of wrinkly (think of a sphynx cat, but less squishy because it is technically all scars). Too bad his fur remained thin and sparse all over, never regaining its full strength.

carved and painted alder, woven spruce root skils. 16” x 13.38” x 14.13”

The three woven skils atop this hat are articulated, and freely “dance” back and forth like the flapping of a salmon’s tail. The woven skils are by Isabel Rorick, and the carved hat is by her son, Robin Rorick.

I've slowly been making my way through some Pride and Prejudice retellings, and I thought I'd ask for recommendations for more! What are your guys' favorite retellings? I'm partial to ones that are queer and that are more kind to the other three sisters, but those aren't necessary elements. I would absolutely prefer adult or new adult over YA though.

I've already read Pride by Ibi Zoboi, Just as You Are by Camille Kellogg, and Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa. And my TBR includes:

Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith

Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding

Pride/Prejudice: A Novel of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and Their Forbidden Lovers by Ann Herendeen

A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan

The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow

I was writing, but then I ended up sketching how the Dragon warband looked in their early years (after they left the fahrar at ~16yo), right before the mission that led Kouran to retire from active duty in 1308 AE. After that, they decided to rename the warband to Wing, and continued their streak of successful missions (or "creative interpretation of orders").

I really want to finish this headshot lineup, but I gotta determine some design elements first (and fix those things that aren't supposed to be there yet oops). Maybe I'll even do a 12 years later pic.

Some fun facts in the meantime:

- Odhran and Obsius are non-identical twins, which is obvious given that the first is albino while the rest of their family has dark fur. What they lack in strength and bulk, they make up for in craftiness and trickery. - Ardea and Sidonia are half-sisters, with the first being almost a year younger. Their mother was a Flame Legion refugee and the only one of her family to reach safety when she was just a cub, and taught them not to be ashamed of their powerful fire magic. - Aurelia and Ardea are fahrar sweethearts. Gross and cute at the same time, I know. - Aurelia and Obsius became friends the day she arrived the fahrar. Specifically, she saw Obsius being picked on for being scrawny, decided she'd protect him, and then proceeded go to pick him up in spite of him being a few months older than her. - Kouran and Reeva were a thing for a few years in the fahrar, now they're insufferable besties. - Kouran is the designated group mom. - Lupita and Rorick were thought to be a couple, but they've always been just close friends. She was non-verbal cub and he liked hanging out with her because she didn't mock his furless face (result of a spell gone wrong) and liked his stories. - Aurelia is the tallest, Sidonia is the buffest, Obsius and Odhran are the smallest (Obsius is lither).

Called it!

[ID: A screenshot of a conversation between Richard Howe and John Rogers on Bluesky.

Richard Howe: Congratulations on the renewal. I hadn't realized you'd stepped in as showrunner.

John Rogers: A scheduling thing. Kate's amazing, but it just made sense for us to switch spots. I fully consider myself a steward of her and Dean's [Devlin] vision of the show.

Richard Howe: Oh, yeah, no slight intended toward her at all. Still, happy to see you back there full time.

End ID]

Leverage: Redemption season 3 is officially a go!

And buried down at the bottom of the release? John Rogers, the showrunner for the entire original series, is going to be showrunning this season!

Kate Rorick is still going to be working on the show, but it sounds like she and Rogers are swapping roles, from showrunner to consulting producer. Rorick was a major part of the writer's room on the original series and I was so relieved when it was announced she was showrunning Redemption, because that meant someone who really got it was going to be in the driver's seat. I credit her with keeping the show as good as it's been, and giving us some amazing new characters!

No news of what's behind the change, but given how long it took to greenlight, I'm guessing there was a scheduling component. Rorick not only writes and executive produces TV, but she's a novelist under her own name and pen name Kate Noble, so she's got a LOT going on.

That said, I follow Rogers on Blue Sky and Twitter and he has so much seething rage built up about billionaires, corporate malfeasance, and other modern bullshit that I think season 3 is going to be EPIC.

Me, wondering why Rorick the Aurora Reaper has only come near my Reaper Observation Station a couple of times, and always seems to be leaving when I check on him:

but no why my ricky prediction was actually just a bit accurate💀

so the real ds is unfortunately not a movie i know and unsurprisingly not one i predicted, but im very happy that it does fit ricky boiii and i like the design as well. plus my "ricky is going to get a deduction star of a character who stabby stabs guys but somehow isnt conscious for it" was accurate. just uh. like give or take 50 or so years from when the movies came out -shrug emoji-

i cant wait to meet you in game rickygeorge

-dv livestream!

thoughts:

-so first of all, mY ABSOLUTE MADLADS HOLY SHIT JOSEPH JOESTAR VOICE RICKY BOI IS GOING TO WIN THE DEDUCTION STAR OH MY GOSHHhhhh ok. i am normal abt this. i would really like it if he wins but im terrified at what sorta skin they will give him.

neutral ending: he gets like. a chopin biopic theme outfit (or even another composer. monteverdi maybe if they want to hammer in the references to orfeo or whatever). playing it safe but thats fine tbh. you want me to suffer (affectionate) ending: its amadeus the movie and idk if ricky would be mozboi or sal but either way im screaming and crying on the ground. bad ending: its none of these options and its something predictable/boring/shipping related and im like. angery face. expanded galaxy brain it will not happen but i can hope: any of my shitpost rickys. music man ricky. froderick fronkensteen ricky. beet from batea ricky. ricky wearing a nightgown and nothing else absolutely losing it ricky (that being said i have no idea but a jekyll and hyde ricky would be a bit goated)

-and for the actual livestream stuff. the three new characters are neat. i think im more attached to them than other ones- memory and adaemil were very lore heavy, lily and friends were fine but i dont feel so invested (esp when operas backstory was just a more marketable rehash of antonios -angry face emoji- ). i like the gambler lady. shes fancy yes but shes got an air of like. elegance and politeness i dont get from other characters in the series. idk i just think shes pretty and shes got them gantsby vibes -pacha hand-. goatman seems nice, like bane or burk or someone. knight seems like a cool guy or could be just the "polite guy villified for plot" and i guess that means either way ill prolly like him -le shrug-. that being said i hope hes well written and isnt a character i wont end up liking. itd be cool if he and ricky can be bros. he gives me those vibes. also gambler lady and antonio being gambling buds would be so cute. the friend he deserves. everyone can be buds with goat man bc he seems nice too.

-not so interested in the crossovers/events besides the holmes one which is big interest omg. the new lady seems like shed be a cool irene adler if shes added. detective as holmes pls. (its prlly gonna b novelist or maybe mercenary bc of mr inference? but listen cone boi is detective so holmes should be too, since his apprentice is lol)

-sept the first school au hunter gets revealed. im like :| bc this series hasnt had any faves yet but it also seems mostly harmless and gives less popular characters skins occasionally so tbh im fine w it. itll prolly be a popular hunter and not my boi antonio but whatever. -shrug emoji-

-rest of lore: ok this is fine. like tbh id rather they dont focus on the journalist plot bc i really dont like it lmao. i find the animation kinda ugly and the characters are all really unlikeable. its also just impossible to talk abt the plot to anyone since everyone has such different takes on it lol

-that being said i am looking forward to maybe the next essence/season (w gambler lady? antonio a/b tier pls he needs it. pretty lady who is also gambler i think he needs this)
