Some of my very under represented salads ; ;

Thalliah, Marjah, and Kerxsus

[king-there0f]

As a wedding planner, Thalliah is very busy! Wintersday is a hot time of year for weddings so she’s been focused on all the lovely couples who want a snowey festive wintersday wedding. I think she also loves snow and gets excited every time she gets to experience it this time of year.

I think Matthias is enjoying the holiday and festivities in a way he often didn’t allow himself to when he was younger. He’s still learning the benefits of fun and relaxation. Maybe he’ll try to get the guild together for a nice homecooked meal.

I would imagine Marjah to be spending time with Olly playing music, eating good food, and sipping on warm spiced beverages when they come in from the cold.

Sarah’s probably a bit of a grinch and gets a little bitter about the holidays. Nieri probably tries to weasel the festive spirit out of her with the promise of cuddles by the fire, spiced alcoholic beverages, and lots of opportunities to go kill monsters in the snow.

How are your GW2 characters spending Wintersday?

Do they celebrate it? Do they have any traditions for the holiday? Maybe they go somewhere special or visit friends and family? And if they don't celebrate, what do they do instead?

hee hee thalia 💕🌸😊💐🥰🌷💖

(I love all ur little guys i wanna pick more than one but fine >:0)

You have chosen Thalliah!

You like: Overworked rays of sunshine

You like making people happy, some would say to a fault, and you often find yourself saying "yes" to engagements you wanted to say "no" to because you did not want to disappoint the person who asked you. It's okay though, making other people happy makes You happy, so everyone wins in the end, right? (Right?)

You love your job. While it is demanding and you are often asked to do things well outside your purview you find it fulfilling and the work gratifying. You love your coworkers and have found lasting, if unexpected, friendships over post-work drinks and invitations to hang out outside of work hours. In truth, you have made some of your very best friends this way.

You love animals and are very much a "will pet every cat or dog you see" kind of person. Sometimes you have to stop yourself on the risk of being impolite or improper. You just really wanted that service dog to know it was appreciated. You want everyone to know they are appreciated.

You love to express yourself through your wardrobe and own a Lot of Clothes. You enjoy taking the time every morning to curate a well coordinated outfit, it is a ritual that you find fun and satisfying. You enjoy feminine fashion considerably more than masculine or androgynous fashion. Your favorite color is pink.

Despite having very little cause or reason, you do not have a great amount of confidence in yourself. In your abilities and skills, certainly. But in personal matters you find yourself feeling lacking in some unknown capacity. You can do better, you’re sure. You feel best when you know you are being useful. You are not sure what you would be otherwise.

Despite this, you are more often than not, happy. Or at the very least content. And you think being comfortable is really all you might need in life. When the weather is fair and friends are plentiful and often seen, it is difficult to find much at all to be upset over.

You love herbal tea with copious amounts of honey. Your favorite season is spring but you still love snow. You love picnics. You dislike social engagements being canceled at the last minute. You like your water room temperature but your hot beverages better be scalding. Your favorite scent is new spring blooms on a cool breeze. You own multiple pairs of sandals. You know the difference between powder and robins egg blue. You are a morning person. You often stay up too late. There is something charming about well maintained antiques and old houses that speaks to you in a way you do not quite understand, but appreciate anyway.

🖊🖊🖊 Gush about three of your OCs!!

weeping and crying thaNK YOU LA ;v;

Made myself make decent cleaning headway before I sat down to answer these. Gonna pick three at random!

Under the readmore are little snippets about 🖊Perci, 🖊Thalliah, and 🖊Tori.

🖊PERCI

You know this guy! He's actually ended up being one of my favorite OCs that I've designed in a while ;v; Perci is a Passimian poke-human with an unsavory past, but incredibly optimistic outlook. He'll never turn down a fight and his stature and appearance might be initially intimidating, but he'd carry your groceries for you or walk you home late at night in a heartbeat.

Perci never learned how to read and this bites him in the ass from time to time, most often in the form of pit-fighting contracts that he blindly signs without being able to question the fine print....or... any of the print really.

I absolutely adore that I got to make a character drawing from some of my absolute favortite characters in media. Perci is a soup seasoned with Vash the Stampede, Zack Fair, Sanosuke Sagara, and Zagreus, and I love him. Big scary dude covered in tattoos and nasty scars but is actually rly nice (most of the time) and kind who is missing a finger and tells kids he lost it from running with scissors or not looking both ways before he crossed the street.

His friendship with Kitan (OC belonging to luc!) makes me wanna cry sometimes, i love them dearly. Unlikely but meaningful and lasting friendships always make me wanna weep. Truly just so soft for them.

I always want to design Perci more tattoos but that means I have to draw more tattoos. Perci is my "I wish I could get more tattoos" surrogate character. Who I give tattoos to because I can't afford any for myself lmao.

Drawing Perci's pecs and biceps make me happy lol. I truly just designed him to be incredibly self-indulgent and tbh, everyone should do this more often it's so fun.

I should really draw Perci more I've had a lot of little comic ideas for him floating around in my head I am just bad at actually committing them to paper.

Here is a tumblr post that I feel suits Persi fairly well:

🖊THALLIAH

Thalliah is one of my GW2 sylvari. When I designed her my goal was "I want her to be pink and as pretty as possible."

I mean look at her I'd say I succeeded:

She is the assistant to Cal (OC belonging to @pocketoon) and together they run the Calla Lilly Wedding Company, here for all your wedding needs! In addition to being colleagues, the two are also good friends and have a great amount of trust and respect for each other.

Thalliah is extremely up-beat, outgoing and is incredibly good with people. She is usually the point of contact for clients while Cal handles the itineraries, organization, and budgeting. She has a way with people and is good at making people happy without being a pushover. She has a keen sense for knowing when to give a little, and when to put her foot down and this diplomatic attitude has come in clutch many a time in their line of work.

After the whole Mordremoth incident their business (being entirely Sylvari owned and operated) took a huge hit and it definitely had an impact on Thalliah's outlook. She hadn't expected people to react as strongly and for as long as they did. Their business suffered and is still recovering, but things at present are definitely on an up-swing. More than anything Thalliah loves to see people happy. And what's happier than helping to join people together in the name of love?

Thalliah is an amateur seamstress and has a passion for flower arrangement. In what little free time she has she is often pursuing crafts and her hobbies. She loves fashion and often tries new looks, though her palettes rarely change. She delights in new experiences and will leap at the chance to try new foods, experience new climates and meet new people.

Thalliah, while significantly better at knowing when to take breaks and rest than Cal, still struggles with feeling aimless or useless when she is not actively doing something.

I think Thalliah sometimes struggles with self-worth. Not in a deep and profound "I'm a tiny and insignificant crumb in the universe" kind of way, but in a "I'm not useful If I can't make people happy." Kind of way. It's not something that bothers her often, but is one of those things that can flare up from time to time and lead her to push herself harder than she sometimes should.

🖊TORI

One of my newest babes. Tori is the result of myself and my dear friend @baptizedbywitches getting back into GW Factions after a long time away.

Tori is a Necromancer from a long line of necromancers. He and his twin sister (Who belongs to @baptizedbywitches ) grew up in a very traditional Canthan household. Their family makes regular offerings and prayers to Grenth and they pass their arts down through many generations.

Tori and his sister in particular are especially gifted and are thought to have been blessed by Grenth at birth, given the complicated circumstances and tribulations during their mother's pregnancy.

While necromancy is still an art that is misunderstood by many, it was occasionally a point of contention in school when the two were younger, their whole family being seen as a bit eccentric, mysterious, and unsettling. One such contentious encounter with a classmate led to blows and Tori ended up coming home with a bruised eye dragging a kid with a similarly bruised face behind him. Tori and Zaq were nearly inseparable ever since. (Zaq belongs to @baptizedbywitches as well <3 )

Designing Tori was fun because GW1 necros are so scrugnly. Their posture is horrible. Their armor is insane. I really wanted to lean hard into the undead and tired vibe gw1 necros exude at all times. A real "Put him in a pringles can and shake him" Kind of character.

Since making regular offerings to Grenth is a very regular thing in their family, Tori often uses it as an excuse for "giving up" troublesome things like "Good Posture" and "His ability to give a shit" and "His tits"

If i manage to go to the art party this weekend, what salad should I bring to the potluck?

[king-there0f]

4, 7, 13, and/or 35!

AAAA hello!! Thank u for asking!! <3

Characters mentioned: u know Buck, also featured are Rhys, Sarah, Thalliah, Matthias, Meena, Kerxsus, Asphreah

4. which ocs sleep curled up vs. spread out vs. moves a lot during the night?

Answered here!

7. which ocs would feel super out of place at a formal event? which ocs are completely fine with it?

Buck thinks they are stuffy and does not care for them a bit. Rhys likes them because he likes the expensive free food but really shouldn't have been invited. Sarah explicitly WASN'T invited but is there anyway and is having a fantastic time. Thalliah is a wedding planner so she attends a lot of weddings and reception dinners. She likes getting dressed up. Matthias grew up in a well off, noble family and often had to attend formal gatherings. He is very good at them. but does not love them.

13. which ocs make the rules? which ocs follow those rules, and which ocs break them?

Matthias was a huge stickler for The Rules before he had his character arc and chilled out a bit. Like truly just kind of a huge narc. As Commander he actually does make some of The Rules now. Sort of. But nowadays he has a much more relaxed view of what right and wrong means and knows where to more fairly draw the line between doing what is "right" and "following the rules."

Sarah breaks The Rules for fun to cause problems on purpose.

35. which ocs are terrified of spiders? which ocs squish the spider, and which ocs cup it and bring it outside?

Thalliah is probably terrified of spiders but also hates killing them and will squeamishly try to trap them under a cup to take them outside. She is being so brave about it. Meena is a "will pick it up in her hands even if she shouldn't" to take it outside kind of person. Kerxsus is the kind of person who would catch it and keep it in a jar. Or it would become a beloved pet.

Asphreah would kill it without hesitation. Then complain about having to get their hands dirty.

[king-there0f]

FINALLY gonna attend an art party!! Probably a little late for this but who should I bring??

Deveter:

Matthias

Thalliah

Sarah

[king-there0f]

sorry to hear about your plauge 🫂!! 4, 5, and 6 for the ask game!

Ahhh that's okay friend ; ; just some unfortunate circumstances. Just gotta muddle through it.

For the sake of not listing every single character for each question, I'm just gonna name the ones that most come to mind haha

Characters mentioned: Mokona, Astereaux, Perci, Fish, Meena, Thalliah, Jade, Rhys, Buck, Marjah, Barm, Nadiah, Matthias, Sarah

4. which ocs sleep curled up vs. spread out vs. moves a lot during the night?

Mokona, Astereaux, Perci, and Fish are definitely the starfish variety of sleeper. I think Astereaux sleeps like a rotisserie chicken.

Meena and Thalliah are curled up/clingy sleepers. If there is someone in bed next to them they are going to attach themselves to them in some way. Rhys is also a clingy sleeper, but I imagine he is also a starfish the other half of the time.

Jade is a high-Elf and does not formally "sleep" but if he did he would probably also be a clingy sleeper.

5. which ocs sleep with the window open vs. closed?

I think most sleep with the windows closed, just practically. Rhys might sleep with them open because he forgot to close them before he fell asleep. Thalliah and Astereaux might leave them cracked just a little if there's a nice breeze on a summer night.

I think Buck does a lot of sleeping outside. Jade is currently in Actual Hell where he'd be lucky if he found a building with in-tact windows to close OR open.

6. which ocs eat consistent meals? which ocs just eat whenever they feel like it?

Marjah, Thalliah, Barm, Meena, and Nadiah probably eat consistent meals.

Nadiah is probably the most regimented because she is a performing acrobat and probably has a strict schedule she follows. Barm has a daughter and makes sure to set a good example. Meena's dads make sure she is well fed (tho she eats surprisingly little for a Norn) and social family meals are probably a high priority.

Matthias WOULD be the type to eat consistent meals if he didn't frequently overwork himself and forget to eat because of it.

Buck, Sarah, Rhys, Perci, Jade, Fish and Mokona are 'eat whenever they feel like it' people.

Mokona mostly in that she is a snacker and you cannot keep her from munching and crunching. Rhys is ADHD and eats when he remembers or is reminded. Jade is in Super Hell and eats whatever is available whenever he can find it.

Perci is probably a bit of both in that he thinks eating at least three square meals is important and makes sure his friends eat. but also eats whatever he wants whenever he wants.

some lil thalliahs

Wintersday is a busy time of year for a wedding planner! But whatever your winter wedding worries are, we are here to make your special day as wonderful as possible! Here, Thalliah models a Wintersday inspired gown, which might give a cold shoulder, but don’t worry, It’ll keep you plenty warm! 

[king-there0f]

THALLIAH

Thalliah is an energetic and enthusiastic sylvari with a passion for problem solving, floral arrangements, and cute animals. She’s the assistant to Cal, and together they run a wedding planning business called Calla Lilly Wedding Planners, contact them for all your wedding needs!

[king-there0f]

i drew this in 2013 i think but i still find it so fucking funny and i adore it

overdrawn screenshots from My Fair Wedding, Thalliah and Cal. a perfect example of their wonderful working relationship

The delightful weddingplanner Thalliah belongs to me, her boss Cal belongs to @puzzleghost

[king-there0f]

10, 15, 16, 23 and 24 for Thalliah

10: What kind of jokes make them laugh?

I think Thalliah has a surprisingly broad sense of humor. She’s the kind of person who might snort unexpectedly when you tell a dirty joke you don’t expect her to find funny. I imagine when she laughs she politely giggles for about 0.5 seconds before it devolves into loud full bodied laughter. I think she would also be the type of person who, when they learn a new joke, tell it to everyone they know so they can laugh at it over and over again. If she lived in modern day she would be that person who would send you funny tiktoks and vine compilations that you’ve probably already seen.

I’d say if theres any form of humor she’s not fond of it would be dark/dry/morbid humor (though she understands it’s purpose) or derogatory humor. Because it’s not actually funny to make fun of people. And she wont be quiet about letting you know.

15: What is the first thing people notice about them?

That she is very short and very pink

16: What do they look for in a friend? A love interest?

Someone who understands her busy schedule and doesn’t mind when she has to cancel plans at the last minute. Wedding planning takes up a large chunk of her time. She likes to surround herself with people she admires, folks she can laugh with and who will have fun with her. She likes to really spend time getting to know people and so often learns more about people than they expect. She considers all her friends family. So expect a handwritten Windersday card for the holidays and a small gift on your birthday, even though you don’t actually remember telling her when it was…

In regards to a love interest I think very few people measure up to the idillic vision she has in her mind. At heart, Thalliah is a hopeless romantic and, while she tells herself she can be realistic about her standards for potential suitors, she acknowledges that at some of her dreams are a bit over the top. That being said, she’s quite enjoying being single right now! She loves that she can prioritize her friends and career.

23: What is your character's favourite food and who cooks it best?

I think Thalliah is a sucker for sweets and every time she goes to a new town she keeps a keen eye on the lookout for the local bakery or sweet shop. Angel Food would be her favorite, I think, with whipped cream and strawberries and maybe some lemon zest added to the batter. I think Cal (her best friend and business partner) treats her to an expensive cafe sometimes after they finish a big job.

24: What are your character's special skills?

Thalliah’s best and most useful skill by far is that she is very good with people. She is good at deescalating conflict, calming people down, knowing when to listen and when to speak. On the job she is firm, but considerate, and Cal often has her take a more front facing role in wedding prep since she can talk a troubled soon-to-be-wedded person down from a tantrum or panic spiral like no one else.

She’s also an amateur seamstress and florist and can whip out a last minute bouquet and do repairs on a damaged or ill-fitting garment minutes before the ceremony, no sweat! She’s hoping to train these skills more someday so she can formally offer these as services for their business.
