It was only a matter of time until I made fanart of Age of Empires 3. Decided to start by drawing the entire family tree of the game's protagonists.

Every named character - except for Phillip (he was only mentioned in the game's guide) - is playable in the game. You start with Morgan in mid-1500s and work your way generation after generation of the Black family until mid-1800s.

My favorite characters are definitely John and Chayton. John has one of the best lore and is in the Act with the best cast of characters, and Chayton is unhinged and a baddass.

Below the cut is my thought process for the drawing. Also, if anyone wants to see my Age of Empires posts, the tag on my blog is "aoeposting".

Starting with Morgan. According to the wiki and the game's guide, he had four children. Two we don't know the name of, John's father Phillip and John's uncle Stuart.

I assume, since Morgan is 200 years old by the time John is born, that neither Stuart nor Phillip were Elizabet's children. He probably had them way later, after getting married to a British woman. But since it's canon he and Lizzie had a situationship, I'm assuming those two unnamed kids are hers, and she took them and raised them as pirates.

I doubt Lizzie ever married Morgan. Though now I don't know what's funnier, them getting married or Morgan the Knight inventing friends with benefits in the 1500s and having children out of wedlock with a pirate.

Well, we don't have time to unpack all that.

So Morgan's British Wife is very posh, to explain why Stuart stands out so much when next to his woodsman nephew John. Both John's father and mother were inspired by the Settlers' design in-game.

I made John's mother be half-Mohawk, because a friend of mine pointed out John and Ká:nien are implied to have grown up together, as well as John having some beadwork in his coat.

I drew Nonahkee's new design, just gave her her old design's braids.

I made Nathaniel's wife white, blonde, and very similar to Amelia, because despite Amelia being half-Mohawk, she looks white, looks nothing like her dad, and is even asked at some point in the game if it's true her family is mixed.

For her husband, I looked up pictures of Lakota men from that time period, as well as some of the in-game Lakota exclusive units. He was particularly inspired on the Club Warrior.

And finally we get to Chayton, who is white, Mohawk and Lakota, with Brits and Scots in his family history. I did say this game was about a long string of biracial people.

He rides off into the sunset at the end of his story. We don't know if he had any children.

i literally can’t win.

outer banks tour has been cancelled, once again. i really want to apologize to everyone for such short notice again, i know the concert is supposed to be tomorrow, but i have no guitarist for this weekend at all. jordan is sick and rafe is deciding to bail on us last minute so without a guitarist, there is no use in even trying to perform. i’ve made sure that each and every one of you have gotten your money back, and im so so sorry for the inconvenience.

thank you to everyone in outer banks who was willing to come see my show, and i’m sorry that some people are so mean. i love you angels, so much.

xoxo, ames.

I had initially deleted this one, but I was told it was too good not to post.

In the original game, Amelia is very old but still the narrator. She said she never saw her son again.

That thought of her outliving Chayton was very painful, and I was inspired to make this drawing.

I want to be every soulsborne woman at the same time. Why are they all so ethereal and divine and mysterious and powerful and feminine and graceful and elegant and dark and I love women

[good-books-to-read]

Sounds good

Hey y’all, I’ll make a fancy post at SOME point but I wrote a book !! You can order it wherever books are sold (B&N, Amazon, local shops) !

Here’s what it’s got:

A fun, hard magic system that has actual “costs” (characters bodies are drained/wounded as they perform the magic)

A polyamorous queer relationship between a nonbinary character & two women

The Gods are real and they cause problems

Disabled characters where they aren’t expected to “push through” the disability and the world accommodates for their needs

Political intrigue 👀

I was honestly inspired by my love for TTRPGs and that’s how she came to be !

If that sounds like something you’d read then uhhh the e-book is only $3.99 ! (Paperback is 13.99 due to printing costs)

sad girl, major john egan

pairing: major john "bucky" egan x amelia mae

content: in the beginning stages of their relationship, amelia finds herself questioning john and the nature of their relationship.

song reference: sad girl by lana del rey

an: idk this song does something to me. should I make a tag list?

John Egan was an enigma. A puzzle that was impossible to solve. A language she couldn’t translate. A concept she couldn’t grasp. It angered her. It sent her into emotional overload and overwhelmed her mind. She couldn’t make sense of him and it pained her. 

She found herself in her head, swimming through the sea of intrusive thoughts that invaded her mind. He wasn’t serious about her. He wasn’t capable of loving her. That was evident by the way his eyes followed the silhouette of a pretty blonde at the pub while she washed dishes and served drinks to the armymen. He didn’t know she noticed. Why would he? To him, she was nothing but a girl he’d gone on a few dates with. They weren’t committed; he owed her no loyalty. 

Her attempts at keeping her facial expressions at bay were a failure. When she rose her head, she caught the sympathetic eyes of the emphatic Gale Cleven. The smile on her face quivered as she turned her back and continued with her task. 

And his hesitancy, oh God, his hesitancy to decline a dance from a woman broke her even further. Sure, she should have been glad that he declined the brunette’s advances regardless, but the fact that he took the time to think. To ponder. To debate, made her sick to her stomach. 

She wept like a child that night. She accepted his peck on the cheek at the end of the evening, “You alright, doll?” His voice sent a chill down her spine. It stayed with her until she went home, then wept like a child. 

She was asked about him by her best friend. If only she could describe all that he was, and all that he wasn’t. He was a complex case that needed to be studied. Dissected and picked apart like an experiment. She nodded once and said, “He is a beautiful human, truly. Bold and wild like a fire. He walks in it with pride and warms everyone he comes in contact with.”

Her friend sensed the sadness laced in her words. With a small voice, she asked in return, “It sounds like you aren’t too happy about that. What’s that about?”

With a sad smile pulled at her lips. Amelia shrugged and dropped her hands into her lap defeatedly. Quietly she admitted, "I don't know if he can love me the way I love him. I think...my worst fear is that he'll light me on fire and leave me to burn in the flames...."

Notes under the cut

Starscream is definitely the shady lawyer type. Prosecution, probably. I also get the sense he would ride a motorcycle or fancy sports car. Maybe a cybertruck to flaunt his wealth.

I didn't draw the other seekers(because they look exactly like him). And I just never felt like coming up with various similar-but-different human designs for them either.

Slipstream always struck me as being Starscream's ambition in the same way the others represented his various traits. I doubt that was the intention, but it's better than the alternative imo.

Anyway, she seems like the type of person to become a lawyer and oppose Starscream in every case she could. If he's a prosecuting attorney, she's a defense attorney. She's just petty like that.

Elita is the adventurous to the point of recklessness type. Black Arachnea is more femme fatale.

The human AU lore is still sorta vague. But the idea is that she got in some kind of accident that caused her to go bald(she wears a wig) and lose weight. Something involving radiation, maybe? Her health is bad, basically. Still toying with the idea of making her some kind of vampire-esque mutant. But idk how supernatural I want to go.

I just had this random idea in my head, but like do you think that Nyo America was used as propaganda the 1950s and the Cold War era to promote “American femininity” (I read this one article that mentioned that the a big reason why women were used in ads to promote products was because they were trying to encourage American housewives to be big time consumers to ‘show American superiority’ against the USSR which ties back to American consumer culture of the 50s and the rampant sexism of the time)

Oh definitely. I can already picture the pin-up posters of Amelia. Maybe on of her in a star dress with her nickname as "Miss America". There would be posters of her making food and holding it on a tray, or maybe some of her getting her hair done at a salon. All of them promoting her "all-American beauty".

While I'm sure Amelia liked the photoshoots and art of her, she was very much annoyed by the box she was forced into. The men around her tried to convince her that she was "showing strength" by being a feminine role model against the USSR. But Amelia felt like she wasn't being taken seriously as a nation, much like how many American women felt during the time. She was just a pretty face used to push propaganda.
