[arsontastic-fandom-takes]

Howdy!! I have emerged from my little hovel and bring character concept stuff for another story I'm working on!! This is Lorne!

She's also a dragonborn, but she's more paladin-esque than Massacre is. Super happy with her design expect for her ears, which I might post a different post when I've decided what to do for altmer ears and stuff.

I'm really liking the effect on A2 but I'm still not 100% sure I want to do her ears in that shape.

Anyway that's all for this update!! I just wanted to share her concept art bc I'm super proud of it!!

omfg it’s almost midnight here and i have to get up for work at 5 AM but let me compose at least some of my thoughts …

ok idia x robot girl! reader … hear me out 🥺

someone he creates to cure his loneliness of companionship in a tender way that ortho just cannot do; ugh i’m imagining a plain head just sitting on the desk, stripped down to the metal and skinless; him asking which eye color you like the best until it lands upon yours;

the midnight conversations as he builds a body; the pining from the reader (is it actual pining or are you just scraping the edges of desperate self perseverance so he doesn’t trash you like the other models); kind of dream-like transition between adding each body parts (like imagine yourself lying in a tub of ink — cheeks, nose, lips, a slight peel of your forehead visible — and eventually it all drains down as more and more body parts are added);

the first very touch of human flesh upon you; the cracked polystyrene blinks that you give with twitchy eyelashes; you siphon your romantic tendencies between a messy mélange of gritty 18+ hentai and victorian romance novellas; idia pours his damned and tormented soul into making you perfect for him and you pour yourself willingly into the image, designed just for one man <3

past midnight edit:

BRUH TO THIS SOnG

yeah to this fuckin banger

((past midnight edit again: there are really only two ways you can go with robot main characters: the building process or the robot being oblivious and thinking they are human (Ex Machina or Twilight Zone) i enjoy both sooo much))

The more I think about it, the more I'm certain that there's been a sociopolitical "papering over" of a decades long economic decline. There's been a lot of borrowing again the future for decades, and eventually the piper is going to come calling. Fucking boomers.

On a more personal level, one thing I'm freaking out about, also, is that one of my WIPs stories involves a situation with water, where Radovid tells Jaskier about a breathing technique that pearls fishers use that he's read about in books from the royal library, that might come handy in the situation they're stuck in...

... and Jaskier being a Bremervoord native would likely have been rather immersed in pearls fishing culture, and know how that works better than Radovid does!

So I might need to modify some of those parts...

I'm glad I was told about this before that story gets published, though! Fans need to know those things!

Slightly disappointed though that Jaskier's not a Redanian given that he'd told Dijkstra he was spying for them out of "patriotic duty" in the books, so I thought that meant he was Redanian...

Then again, since he told Geralt he doesn't tell people where he's from, because leaving Bremervoord was the only way he felt he could really become who he was, maybe he was born and raised in Bremervoord as a kid, but then went to study in Oxenfurt, fell in love with that hub of culture and knowledge, and has adopted a Redanian nationality ever since.

And he uses "Jaskier" most of the time, because being known as "Julian Alfred Pancratz, Viscount of Lettenhove" would identify him with a noble family that's found primarily in Bremervoord, Kovir (his cousin) and maybe Cidaris.

Not sure if "Lettenhove" is a place, or refers to a noble family.

Maybe there used to be a place called "Lettenhove" at some point in history, that eventually was annexed to other places / changed hands, but they've kept their ancestral name as a noble family, their titles of nobility, and maybe Jaskier's family still owns some castles and businesses in different cities in the area that was once called "Lettenhove".

Is it possible that you could write a Sun Haven oneshot where to establish peace in Withergate, Darius and the Fem!Farmer were placed into an arranged marriage and they’re both learning how to get along before the big wedding?

Hey, sorry for the wait. First of all, thanks so much for the ask!!! I had a blast writing, even if it took me a bit. I hope you like it and sorry that it's so short. I had to cut it off or else it'd snowball into a 20k word thing(that's been happening to me consistently when I start new oneshots recently.)

(It's been a while since I've posted so sorry if the format is different.) Type: Ask fulfill, scenario, fluff. Words: 1 394. Pairing: Darius/feminine reader Pov: 2nd person Gender: Fem

_______

You didn't orginally know how to feel about the information. You had been settled into your new job as a farmer in Sun Haven for little over a year when your friend and basically town mayor asked to speak to you.

Now normally, you loved spending time with Lucia whenever you two could spare it, considering how little time the two of you ever had to spare. But the way she spoke in her letter was disconcerting, to say the least.

So you finished watering your crops for the day and set off towards her office, a sinking feeling of dread in your chest.

She greeted you with a warm hug that smelled of mana and spice, as always, and urged you to sit down in her office. "Hey, my favourite farmer! I haven't seen you in a while."

You smiled at her and sat down. "Lucia, I'm the *only* farmer you know. Unless you count Liam growing wheat for his bakery."

She laughed, as she always did when you said that. "I know, I know. You make sure to remind me. But I've missed you."

You sighed. "I missed you too. And as much as I love you, I know you didn't call me in today for a catch-up session. You've been going back and forth with the King of Withergate for close to a month now. So spill."

Lucia winced at the reminder of why this meeting was happening. "... So. You know how we've been trying to settle an agreement with Withergate? We've finally settled on something."

"...Okay? Isn't that a good thing? What did you settle on?"

The way she looked at you exuded guilt. "You're going to marry the Prince."

You blinked for a few seconds, dumbfounded. "... What? Lucia, what in the world!?"

"You're the best person to do it and you'll be ferried over to Withergate in a few days so that you two can get to know each other before the wedding."

"Lucia, slow down. *What???*"

_______

That had been a few days ago. Here you sat, at the river next to your farm, waiting to be shipped off as a bride to someone you've never met. At least it would mean that Withergate wouldn't be giving Sun Haven a hard time, but it was still a difficult pill to swallow.

You were a farmer. Why in the world would any Prince want to marry you? You felt naked without the armour you forged, the only pretty dress you owned your body's only protection. It was rude to show up to a first date in armour.

The ferryman was nice enough, although silent. The time to reflect was appreciated. You'd gone so far as to scrape the dirt that was almost permanently present from under your nails. You were still unsure of how to feel.

A part of you desperately wanted to be angry. But you couldn't bring yourself to be. This was for the good of Sun Haven and you couldn't bring yourself to be angry at Lucia for doing what's best for her town.

You were anxious. You didn't know a single thing about Withergate, let alone its Prince.

When you finally met your arranged Fiancé, he wasn't what you were expecting. He was arrogant and cocky, yes, you had expected that from a Prince, but he knew every resident by name and kept himself invested in their lives. He was... caring. Extremely so.

You could tell he was uncertain of what to do with you, too. He was prickly the first few times you interacted. You were surprised that you didn't mind as much as you thought you would.

It had been half a week since you settled into your apartment. You had been given a rooftop area to farm in, which was kinder than you had hoped for.

You breathed soil for most of the day. You were so absorbed in your crops and caring for them that you hadn't even noticed your fiancé standing on the roof with a plate of native Withergate food in hand. "Do you usually get so covered in dirt when you farm?" His voice startled you when it announced his presence.

You turned to him, resting your arm on your hoe. "Well, yeah. Farming is a very dirt-related activity. It is, in fact, common to be covered in dirt because of it."

It was clear that Darius didn't expect that answer from the way he opened and closed his mouth a few times.

He eventually decided that there was no proper reply for that and gently waved tye plate of food around in the air. "I brought you lunch."

You eyed the food for a second, equal parts suspicion and surprise. "You better not have been the one to make it. No offense, but you can't cook to save your life."

He rolled his eyes in response and scoffed. "No, I didn't cook it. One of the palace chefs did. Now, do you want the food or not?"

With a sigh, you set down your hoe in its designated spot and clapped your hands together a few times to get rid of most of the mud on them. You'd already been chewed out by your landlord because of the dirt on your doorknobs once and weren't keen to repeat the action. "I do. It's actually really sweet of you. Just- come along and give me a second, I want to shower before I eat."

You were already turned towards the roof access door, so you didn't see Darius' cheeks grow a tad pinker. Mentally, you noted that you were lucky that the dish Darius brought doesn't cool down even after hours of leaving it alone.

Trying your best not to get dirt everywhere, you enter your apartment and take off your farming shoes at the door. "Please take your shoes off before coming inside. After that, make yourself at home." You called out to your fiancé as you made your way to the shower.

Said fiancé took off his shoes and looked around your, admittedly meager, furnishing. "... Is this really what you live like?" He called from his spot in the middle of the living room. He wasn't sure if he should sit on the couch, since it looked seconds away from collapsing.

"We can't all be nepo babies! Most of the money I make goes straight back into getting more crops or improving my gear."

You could hear him scoff even through the walls between you two. "That's preposterous. This couch looks one bad day away from giving up."

"To be fair, I don't really spend much time relaxing for the fun of it."

There was a moment of silence as Darius thought. You assumed he was silently judging you, but he was actually deciding that it was now his main objective (after making sure that Withergate is still doing well) to maks sure you rested. He himself had workaholic tendencies, but even he realised that you need to rest sometimes.

When you were eventually finished with your shower and donned your more presentable casual clothes, you motioned towards your small dining table that has two chairs. You chose the one with the bad leg.

He sat down the plate in front of you, complete with a fork, and sat down in the opposite chair.

"Don't you have anything to eat too?" You couldn't help but ask as you grasped the fork and started to eat. It was delicious, especially so to your stomach empty from hours of work.

"I already ate. I know you tend to forget to eat until dinner, so I brought you something after dinner at the palace was finished."

You hummed appreciatively, but ate in silence for a few moments. "What trouble has Donovan gotten into recently?"

The long-suffering groan Darius let out told you more than enough, but you listened to the shenanigans anyway. You loved Donovan, really, but he was the embodiment of a little rascal.

The two of you kept talking for a while after that. It was surprisingly easy to talk to him, despite the class difference and his tendency to be rude.

In the back of your mind, you had a thought. Maybe this marriage wouldn't be built on undying love and romance, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in world, despite what you originally believed.

Finally! Wooo! Finished! I had this idea from seeing so many pics of ballerinas on my pinterest feed. I used a ref, but lost it. I expanded a lot upon it, so I think it's ok. It was cool to draw so many people in the same space, too, cause I never do that if I can help it, lol. Under the cut is usually only lineart vers. but I wanted to put it up there cause I added shading. So, really, under the cut there's ballerina lore. All of them have backstories. You're welcome.

Ballerina lore. (Reminder that I have no idea how any of this actually works cause I never ended up doing ballet. Thankssss~ <3

She's waiting for the rehearsal to begin, and is very annoyed that it is so late, cause she woke up so early for this. The other girls aren't as worried, but my girl is punctual.

She's telling her friend about all the conspiracy theories she knows. It's a lot.

Her friend is actively shocked about all the stuff she is hearing and she believes it 100% purely based on delivery.

Sad ballerina is sad cause her boyfriend is away. She is also a bit introverted, and just likes thinking a lot. She feels like she doesn't fit in with the rest of the group, but she's neutral-to-like when it comes to them, esp. conspiracy theory girl cause she's enthusiastic. She thinks funny ballerina is obnoxious though <3

Funny ballerina is funny, she's the class clown. She is always trying to make everyone happy, but she's just very anxious. Addicted to caffeine, shouldn't drink it, esp. not cocla cola, cause she's on an obvious diet, but it's her cheat day, get off her ass.

Lesbian ballerina as hell, in love with the disaster in front of her. Not much is known about this woman, though, she is mysterious and usually quiet, although good humored and friendly when approached/towards new people.

She's so sleepy

She's waiting for her friend to arrive. She is late, and she's worried they're gonna start without her. She's go fairy emotions, so only space for one at a time, aka known as anxiety and fixation. Her friend grabbed coffee and now she is hurrying there. Not many friends here, they're close together though.

She thinks her hair is a disaster and it is, cause she doesn't have any really long bobby pins. She's trying to balance everything in place, but at least three girls will be helping her with this in less than 5 minutes, crisis averted.

Trying her best to help her friend, but she's sort of tired, zoned out. She's also a bit of a bitch, but people like her cause they realize that's her way. Not actively mean, and actually means to help, she's just a little rough around the edges. Friendly when treated calmly, like a cat in away.

She's reading the latest internet drama. She will regret this later and stop doing this, cause she's not missing anything and it doesn't add anything to her life. She's also usually happily amongst other people, but she's trying to distract herself with other things, to pass time. She's gonna sit down by sad ballerina and ask how she is later.

Upstairs ballerinas: Don't know them, but the last one on the right is reading Twilight. She likes the vibes of it, hates the characters, and she wishes Stephenie Meyer wasn't rushed on her next two books cause she wants to know what a Twilight world without Jacob and werewolves would be like. She's also quite smart, and is sort of the one the girls listen to when something is up. She is also into conspiracy theories though, esp. the scary ones.
