#and some unnamed characters in the bg

[threefeline]

Well, now that it's all but confirmed we're getting DLC for Elden Ring...

Have some Coliseum based doodles I did last night, featuring Elden Lord Consort Gislaine, and a new guy I'm fucking around with.

Darroch, the leader of a group who grafts pieces of his enemies onto himself. He values power over everything else, but also fiercely protective of his own group, I think.

Gislaine accepted his challenge to basically make him and his gang fuck off(or join them?? Idk) and so he stuck them in the Coliseum to see Just How Good they really were, and if they were even worthy of fighting.

Yeah that's really all I got so far! He just really wants their wings and I just wanted an excuse to draw them in the Coliseum garb.

Remake of pinned post and updated BG3 Master List.

NSFT, 18+, MINORS DNI

Full AO3 profile.

Finished stories include word count.

The first two are the last ones I wrote when I discovered my all-time favorite OTP, Cal and Ryldinn. Ryldinn is my OC, a drow assassin.

M/M, explicit smut, violence, discussion of past trauma, slight non-con elements in both.

Where Our Demons Hide is the BG3 story told through the experiences of Cal, Ryldinn (Tav), and Astarion. It's quite long and not finished yet, but there isn't much more to go.

Heat of the Night is lighter, sillier, AU story, set in BG with all the characters and magic, etc, but a more 1980s Miami feel. Characters have a set sexuality instead of being pan. This is going to be an ongoing series. Collab with @crowwolf. Special warning for homophobia, slurs, and attempted assault.

Reclaiming Ourselves series takes place mostly after the events of BG3. It's 3 parts and it's a different experience depending on what order you read them in. Told from POV of Cal, Rolan, Zevlor, and Dammon in different bits with some 3rd person as well.

M/M, F/M, lots of smut, heavy angst, hurt/comfort.

Goodnight Kiss is sweet, with a shy bumbling Cal trying to get a girlfriend. 24,057 words.

Comfort in the Dark starts with Zevlor and Rolan, but our bitchy wizard eventually ends up with Dammon. Angsty. 22,217 words.

Who Am I? stars Zevlor with my OC Ilyrana, a high-elven draconic sorcerer. After being rejected by Rolan, the Paladin finally rediscovers the love of his life. 21,902 words.

Master of the Tower stars Rolan with an unnamed, vaguely described afab Tav. It begins in the Last Light Inn and goes a little beyond the game, but I don't discuss game events much; this one is all about them. It's angsty in parts, but also cute, funny and very smutty. The tiefling anatomy lesson seems to be a hit. 31,931 words in 3 parts.

F/M, smut, angst.

After Hell. Zevlor and Dammon hook up and then find themselves a girlfriend. After the events of the game. No real angst or drama, just lots of fun creative sex. 23,811 words in 3 parts.

M/F/M, smut.

How to Fix Your Broken Tiefling. This one is just pure love and adoration for Zevlor from a sweet little afab Tav who just wants to make him happy. 9,526 words.

F/M, smut, loss of virginity.

Quick and Dirty sees Zevlor, jealous and frustrated, coaxing a young, inexperienced afab Tav to... um... relieve his frustrations in the woods. This is dirty old man Zevlor and I enjoyed writing it. 1,699 words.

Dub-con, fellatio.

Fire, Ice and Darkness tells Zevlor’s story the way I think it should have been. It's unfinished, and I don't know if I'm going to do so, but it's not far from the end and if I get enough interest maybe I will. His love interest is my OC Nienna (Same person as Ilyrana, but she's Tav in this one.)

M/F, smut, heavy angst, slight non-con elements.

The New Chosen. Zevlor accepts the Absolute and becomes Her warrior. He then kidnaps Tav, an afab rogue, partly described and not named. This one isn't finished either. Again, I might circle back to it but it's a bit icky to write.

F/M, NON-CON. Like really. Violent and uncomfortable.

The Master's Lessons. Rolan finds out soon after becoming Lorroakan’s apprentice that the wizard has more in mind than teaching him magic. This is technically part of The Master of the Tower, but it's unhooked so people can skip it if it makes them uncomfortable. 5,817 words.

M/M. NON-CON. Not violent, but pretty gross anyway. Drugs and coercion used.

[hey-hamlet]

I am so incredibly in love with your let's kill sensei au, assasination classroom was one of my first animes I watched bootlegged on youtube and it will always have a special place in my heart. Since you wittled down the class size, do you have any plans for the rest of the gen ed kids? Making them other ua kids, oc's or maybe snatching some from the original assclass show?

Ah thank you!! I watched it when I was like 14-16 and remembered loving it - I've just finished season 1 and its so much stranger than I remember,,, still very funny though!

I tragically have an internal rule that yells at me to keep my AUs AUs and crossovers crossovers, so no assassination classroom students. I'm throwing in the only 2 other canon first year gen ed students, some other UA students and some OCs to fill out the roster so we have:

Midoriya Izuku

Uraraka Ochako

Shinsou Hitoshi

Kuroiro Shihai (the 1B student - he failed the entrance exam in this AU)

Togeike Chikuchi (canon gen ed student - girl - no official quirk - quirk: paper manipulation)

Agoyamato Tsutsutaka (canon gen ed student - boy - no official quirk - quirk: drill hair)

Furasu Maina (canon 1H support student - she tried for heroics in this AU - no canon quirk - quirk: polarity)

Ito Hikari (canon student 1C - girl - no official name/quirk - quirk: optic fibre hair!)

Hai Kaze (canon 1C student - boy - no official name/quirk - quirk: big lungs

Kuzu Ono (oc - boy - quirk: plant body)

Kesshou Beni (oc - nb - quirk: crystalline)

Hane Tsuki (oc - girl - quirk: moth wing)

Yoku Kiteku (oc (appears briefly - unnamed- in an old fic of mine) - girl - quirk: gossip)

I love everyone on this list - even the silly BG characters that have no lines.

I'm sure everyone knows with how often I've been saying it, buuuut!!

The full version of Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel...HELP!! is now released and available to play for free!!

Itch is currently down for me so I hope that link I copied from previous posts will work once it goes back up.

At 2.5 years of work, this has been my longest creative project yet. I think I've said everything I could in the post-mortem for the project. It has been a huge mountain for me to climb and I'm glad I finally got through it. A lot of things have changed since I started working on this project, some good, some bad, most of which I can't really discuss. But it is over and I am proud of myself for it.

I'm also really relieved that folks have been enjoying the ending! I was definitely very worried that I did not drop enough hints and it would come way too out of left field.

So once again, thank you everyone for giving my project a chance and sticking with me for 2.5 years to reach the ending. Thank you so much!! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ This is more than I've ever dreamed for and I hope I can continue to bring good stories for folks to enjoy!

A Sky of Falling Birds

Once I was done with SYVNH, I got to work on my next big project because I can't sit still. I haven't a marketing plan for SFB yet. It's a very different story and vibe from SYVNH. I think the only similarity are the length of the main character's bangs.

I'm tentatively aiming to release SFB for BAF VN Jam.

(Ad break!

Do you like shounen manga?? Do you like making VNs?? Consider joining Battle Action Fantasy Visual Novel Jam 2024! We're hosting a game jam focused on action stories with our beloved shounen tropes!! Join today!!)

Oh god that was terrible, don't put me on the spot like that, me.

Anyways, A Sky of Falling Birds is a yuri-ish visual novel about depression, finding a will to live, and the end of the world.

It's yuri-ish because you have two "love interests" who aren't lovey-dovey to you at all. In fact, one of them might murder you before the game ends. The main portion of the script has been finished at about 20k+ words and the sprites are done. It's time I made a proper roadmap for creation of this VN('s demo).

(Oh, what's that? Does one of their silhouette look familiar? I wonder...)

A Variety of Unnamed BL Projects

+ a named not-BL project

Although SFB is closer to being finished, I can't help but be tempted by these new ideas I have... and start designing for them.

Last time I talked about P^3, I finished the outline. There is still no title. But I worked on some potential designs for the MC and the two LIs.

I am both unhappy and un-done with LI2's outfit. They're actually a bit plain compared to my other designs, but this story's a historical (Victorian) fantasy and only LI2 is close to the upper crust of society that would wear flowing dress... shirts with lots of ribbons.

I'm still working on how to best summarize this story. But perhaps it's a little more "what would you do for family" than love story.

The other BL project, which I've named [BL RPG] is a story set in a modern fantasy society. There is turn based gameplay for this project. I had their designs finished a while back, but I finally put colors to the remainder of the cast for Part 1.

(Oh, this will be a long one, my friends...)

The outline isn't done yet.

This is a story about kissing boys, taming punks, and maybe over throwing the government.

The last of my "projects I worked on mindlessly now that SYVNH is done" I worked on this past... month is Killer Hiding Place (KHP). This is the next entry into the Kill Series and something I had outlined since last year. I kept trying to start writing it, but I keep running into trouble on how I want to tell the story. I originally intended to do another manga-esque format like that of Exorcist Killing Lie, but this protagonist tends to monologue a lot, making it difficult to put in manga form.

Other...!

I finished 4 images for a fan project, and I'm still behind on another part of that project 😢 That'll be my focus for this week...

I also did some playtesting for @arimiadev's upcoming BL visual novel Canvas Menagerie!! It's a soft and comfy SoL BL story about the struggles of being an actor.

It also has one of the best lines I've ever read in a visual novel.

You can play the Canvas Menagerie demo for free on itch!

Whew! That was a long one!

But that's all the info I got for this... month. Look forward to... next week...??? Let's go with the positive expectation that I will be able to make weekly devlogs again ahaha...

Bye-bye, Pumpkin out!

[eiirisworkshop]

Okay, so in my Hellish Encounters series I’ve established an OC named Lupé who is one of Angel’s coworkers.

I have managed to establish absolutely nothing about what he looks like lol (other than that he does have feet and arms)

I should probably do that before he starts showing up more, cuz he’s gonna.

There is an (as far as I’ve been able to look up) unnamed background demon in one episode who I’m considering just deciding is Lupé

So….

If you vote for “fully new” feel free to suggest animal/object/aesthetic themes for him.

The results of this poll are nonbinding lol

[bugsbenefit]

if it’s not a mistake its most likely that walter and claudia are siblings and that henderson is claudia’s maiden name. lucas’s parents seen at will’s funeral were recast for s2 anyway, and iirc so were dustin’s parents? regardless, it adds another layer to dustin’s character, having grown up with a single mom in the 80s—not like joyce, but a mom who was never married (joyce is divorced but still has the last name byers). despite dustin’s s1 “my parents” line it’s possible they fleshed out his bg more and changed it so that he has actually never even met his dad. who knows

that's actually a really good point! yeah! i could see this being the case

they retconned/recast a lot after 1 true, which i mean, makes sense, they did say they wrote for the full franchise only after s1. so besides some crucial story details and so on, background characters/details weren't set in stone yet. so Claudia getting turned into a single mom after we've only had an unnamed Mr Henderson in s1 would be a reasonable change

and besides that, it's also possible that Claudia just didn't change her name going into a marriage or that Mr Henderson took her name instead. because, while uncommon for the time, it wasn't impossible, and if anyone were to do it i would put my money on Claudia - the only person in the Reagan Republican town that openly has a Mondale sign on her lawn - Henderson

[iamfabiloz]

this is uhh not a drawing request sorry!! BUT if you’d like to i’d love to hear more about Nathan!! idk if there’s a story there or not but 👀👀

DW ITS TOTALLY FINE I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY OCS OMGEE!! :] TY FOR ASKING DUDE!!

And YAHH nathan has a whole backstory and unnamed oc storyline thing with a bunch of other characters tho da whole thing is still very much a big wip KWJWJ

Nathans main thing is that he a librarian dude living with his gf Felicity!! They is da best couple ever very healthy and I love them to bits nathan thinks felicity is da WHOLE WORLDD below is him being absolutely smitten!! :] both of their refs r here

He also has two siblings!! His older sister Ramona and his younger brother Beatrice!! :3

their mom died in a car crash when they was kids so it made Ramona take on the role of single parent bc of reasons so she’s rlly fussy, overprotective and like a helicopter parent which annoyed Nathan to no end 😨 Beatrice moved out, leaving Ramona to cling to the only sib living with her at the time. But that kinda backfired bc Nathan got sick of being treated like a teen even tho he’s like 27 years old so he moved in with Felicity leaving Ramona to deal with her empty nest syndrome and trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms 😨 this def will end well !!

Beatrice chillin in the bg btw he’s living his best life in da country somewhere!! He is the least emotional distraught out of everyone 😭 HELP

Also here’s a silly meme drawing I did based off a tiktok screenshot, the user beinf mean to Nathan is Melissa (Ramona’s kindaaa ‘friend’) Nathan and her have beef bc Melissa is using Ramona :[ Nathan and Melissa got into a fight bc of that but also they already didn’t like eachother b4 hand 😭

ANDD Some concepts of da sibling trio r below!! Ramona and Beatrice don’t got full refs yet but soonnn (Nathan is duller colors bc I’m thinking of making his purple ness be hair dye maybe but also being born as purple guy is funny)

Uh hmm I don’t wanna ramble for too long but tdlr Nathan has a gf, family issues, and other stuff but then I’d be here explaining too much KWHJW

TY FOR ASKING AGAIN I rlly like talking abt my silly dudes

[greenyvertekins]

Can we all just take a moment and really just say how much all the IDW originals, don't look like proper sonic character?

How overly designed they all are, and how their colours are almost to screaming.

Heck Even the sheep from the mobile game doesn't look like a proper sonic character, just like an overly designed oc

Whilst I agree that some characters are overdesigned and villain characters such as Clutch look so unsubtle as far as "evil" goes, at least they actually look like Sonic characters. Aside from a few unnamed BG anthro's, none look like they've scalped a human woman and are going around wearing her hair atop their heads, have human-esque body contours, are clones of each other or don't make any attempt to fit in with SEGASonic stylization.

Unlike pre-reboot Archie.

[redfieldfeer]

Is "creative soulmates" an applicable term?

I believe so, even more so when I refer to a player at my RPG table who is also someone I write fanfics with. Well, as you can see, this is another post about the magic of the tabletop RPG. Two weeks ago, I mastered yet another origination session, and this time it was for my remaining player from the old table. I must remember that it was she who convinced me to go back to GMing through a recap of everything that had happened the other time and, above all, with new ideas for her character. We changed a lot, starting with a new homebrew race that encompasses creatures with animal characteristics (our inspiration came from the fauns of RWBY) and with that, also came a new goddess... But, that's my thing as DM. Let's talk about her as a player. She always surprises me with how demanding she is with her characters, I always thought her character at the other table was amazing, but she felt inconsistent in some ways and so I helped her. We worked together on establishing new attributes, including multiclassing her previous class (she's coming with a spellcaster that I already broke in the source session) and that tied in perfectly with the new BG she wrote. Before, a deserting soldier who constantly fled from the oppressive empire that forced her to enlist, even if it meant leaving someone important behind. Now, a soldier victim of a war for no reason, who needs to fight PTSD while wanting to return home and find who she left behind... But years have passed, new domains have been established and things have happened without her knowing. The current character is much denser than the previous one, which makes her connection with the Raven Queen extremely important (after all, she has issues with destiny and, mainly, with another domain of the goddess). I tried to encompass all of this in her session, starting with a dream in which I worked on the concepts of the "thread of fate" and also the Japanese legend of the "red thread". We went through years and years of lore, covered with images that didn't say much, with symbolisms that made sense to her as a player... We talked about heavy topics, such as psychological aggression, violence (torture), trauma, grief... And all this taking place in a dream, traveling along a black and white forest road that began with fire and ended at the river. We closed the cycle of that character's life while another one began... And she woke up to the sound of the voice of an NPC that we had already seen in previous sessions. Her character, a soldier, allowed herself to be taken care of her whole life and decided, on her own, that she needed to act. Of course there are MANY things in this character's BG that I haven't even addressed, but I'm really happy to have the player back with me. And here comes what I put in the title of this text: the connection I have with her is only explained through the brevity of soulmates (Platonic, I must say). She is incredible, as is her character and, most importantly, the NPC we both fell in love with. A cutscene-only NPC, unnamed, looking at the moon through a telescope. A high elf enchanted by the stars who tries to reverse time to find those who left her behind... One day, I left my player and friend behind, but she defied fate and insisted on bringing me back. All I can say is thank you: thank you for letting me roll the dice with you again.

We should give this shadow lady a name

I mean she has a nice hat and from an article I read,the adults usually wear more extravagant and over-the-top clothings than the children. There's a lady who has butterfly features and a butterfly wing attached to her dress,which makes she looks like an actual butterfly,yet even she has a name which is Sophie

So yeah I do think this lady deserve a name,she looks nice too and she has appeared in the first episode and last episode of season 1. Honestly BG characters deserve some love too, I'm thinking "Maria" or "Claudine" for her name

Also is it okay to say the unnamed shadow lady does look very similar to Kate? I mean look at her hair, it's pretty similar to Kate

i completely approve of both your name options of that shadow lady with the hat, side characters do deserve love! her outfit looks really nice, you're right when you say the adults' outfits to tend to be more detailed and over the top than the children's. i personally love sophie's design

hat lady does resemble kate a little, though since we don't know what either of their faces look like, i think that's just because they both wear bangs which is kinda funny 😅

[zoegotmods]

Character designs for my unnamed dhmis au. Short stories for each design under the cut

Silence, it was never silent. When it was, is wasn't good. Everything just stopped, the singing, the teachers blinking in and out of existence, everything. No teachers no songs and no lights, this terrifying Doi.

"Now" he realized with a shaky breath, it was dark, the floorboards creaked under his foot as he slid off his bed. "I gotta get out of here." As quickly as he could, he changed out of his stripped pj's and back into his shirt and overalls, grabbing two different socks in his haste. "No time to waste" he mumbles.

He walked around to the red bed, crouching he found the old satchel Harry used to use when they went to the park. The grey bg fit surprisingly snugly, as he found some supplies he may need, half full water bottle, two apples, anything edible within the room.

Doi took one last look around the room, he was getting out, finally, his legs seemed to move on their own backing him into the door of freedom. Turning to the door he grabbed the handle.

"What happened, why aren't you in there?" He freezes. That was the talking page thing, sketchbook was it? It didn't matter, Doi wasn't alone, he quickly locked the door maybe they couldn't get in that way, a big clang rang throughout the house. He had to leave NOW.

"He locked the door" a loud whisper sighed out, "come on friend, please open up." The baby pigeon used a soothing voice, which had the opposite affect, only making Doi's heart race.

He backed up further into the room, there's no escape. Less and less oxygen crawls through the air for his lungs to eat up, this is the end, there's no escape. The moonlight drenched the boy in the middle of the room, from the window. Wait the window... that's it!

He took one last glance at the wooden door, which groaned at each attempt to break it down, before swiftly making his way to the pane of glass. Glancing out, he realized the ground was further away on the second floor, the window seemed to mock his stupidity.

With every second the door got closer to shattering, Doi had to make a decision fast, this was his only chance. He let out a deep breath taking steps back to the parallel wall.

"One," his heart was running a marathon in his ears, the door was cracking.

"Two," he planted his foot and hands against the wall, the door buckled closer with each loud bang.

"Three!" Ripping away from the wall just as the door bursts open, he springs up, eyes closed, smashing the glass to peices.

He groaned feeling something painfully soft underneath him, as he came forth from darkness.

"Get....UP." He dragged his body up forcing his limbs to move, bolting into the trees and growth surrounding the house, ignoring the pain, the blinding moonlight, and the shouts and curses from behind. He ran.

It was early in the afternoon, the sun shining happily in the sky when he finally stumbled across a second town. His cloudy eyes glanced up to the proud sign displayed with calm grey writing. 'Welcome to clayhill!' Doi had never heard of this town, but somehow he felt safer than the first town he came upon.

He carefully walked through the crowded streets, running into and tripping over people barging past. The town he encountered was named 'Arcwood', filled with residents who looked glum, filled with hatred and looking for trouble, Doi felt out of place.

His stomach growled in protest, the two apples he could find only lasted two of the four days he had run. He happened to find a fruit booth filled with colorful fruits which stood out against the crab like man selling them.

"HEY," The crab man yelled, Doi was pushed to the side as a rabbit looking figure holding a green fruit darted past. The crab man followed holding a large metal poll, grumbling unhappily.

Doi's stomach urged him to quickly grab a ruby red apple before running in the other direction, he knew he didn't want to stay there.

Doi held his stomach painfully, aches filling his whole body, desperate for rest. He barely stopped moving throughout the time he got away from the house and it showed. He slowly limped on the sidewalk, keeping his head down as he weaves through the few other people out in the sun.

People stared as he limped past, the boy was covered in dirt, mud, and other grime to which many onlookers stopped and grimaced at. His knees were scratched up, blue hair a mess, tears threatened to spill as he hunched in on himself.

Glancing around lazily, Doi slowly realized the townsfolk were looking at him, eyes gone wide, mouths opening and closing as if their vocal cords were threatening to break.

A red bird wearing a sweater hastefully whispered to the smaller rabbit who quickly hopped away.

Doi, nervously looked away, eyes catching a poster filled bulletin board, sitting innocently outside a funny looking building that screamed important.

Using the board to hold his shaking legs, he scanned each poster, before his eyes caught onto his own, staring back with a smile. His heart dropped to his shoes, the words 'missing' were scribbled in big blocky red text under the photo.

"What," he couldn't move, his legs wobbled more as he read on. "MISSING, last seen June 19th 3:45 p.m, wearing a flaxen t-shirt under light blue overalls. Blue hair, yellow skin. If found-" the wors blurred together as the tears slowly built up, he dropped to the ground.

His knees burned at the harsh contact, he was so tired, his eye lids were so heavy. He was so confused, fear wavered through every muscle in his body as he looked back up. The smiling boy on the poster seemed so far away now, he had been missing, for how long?

The crowd watching acted quickly. Three adults approached the shaking boy, a kind woman kneeled down beside him talking sweetly as he unknowingly leaned into her gentle touch. He didn't realize how cold he was.

Another man, who looked to be in his twenties, held a straw up to his dry lips, the woman rocking Doi, gently opened his mouth. The cool water shocked him at first, even so his senses eagerly activated as he drank, all his before thoughts, gone. He desperately held onto the woman, her hand rubbed his back soothingly in return.

More and more people of all different species huddled up, talking quietly asking questions, and giving advice. Something warm was placed on his forehead, a man with shiny antlers gently rubbed at his face removing the dirt and grime that coated his skin.

His eyes finally closed as he let the dam break, watery tears fell, he was safe.

The smell of freshly baked bread was always a nice smell to wake up to. Doi slowly opened his eyes, letting them adjust to the rays of sun pouring in through the window. He sat up, stretched with a big yawn, and jumped out of bed.

He was quick, he knew this routine well. Changing out of his stripped pajamas, he put on a green shirt, blue overalls and lastly his socks and shoes.

He sped walked to the door, grabbing the large brown messenger bag held on a bronze hook. Placing it over his head he took a step back to admire his work in the mirror. With one final nod, he opened the door and jogged out.

Running down the corridor to the set of stairs. He jumped on the railing and slid down, barely containing the laughter building in his throat as he rushed down them, his blue hair wildly following behind.

"Donnie!" Someone grabbed his shoulders as he tumbled at the bottom of the steps, the yellow hands steadied him before pinching his cheek softly. "What have I told you about sliding on the banister?"

The woman gave him a stern look, her blue hair tied in a neat bun, green eyes staring through his very soul, still he giggled between words.

"That i could slip and-ow, fall?" He replied, shaking out of the grip and rubbing his face.

"Hmm," she smiled after a second, scooping Doi up and walking over to the dining area. A few of the early birds were up and ready for the day, reoccurring ones, and bright new faces were sat at various tables around the cafe.

Some chatted about their plans, some watched the news on the telly's set up around the room, and others just ate in silence, or half asleep.

The woman moved around the counter and into the kitchen, Doi saying hello to some of the people he recognized, before being plopped into a chair.

"Now eat up kid, you don't want to be late." She placed a plate of fresh bread with apple jam, and Doi smiled.

Eating quickly he hopped up, pushed his chair in, and rushed out of the kitchen, around the counter and to the front door. He paused the doors bell chiming its melody. He turned around.

"Bye mom!" He waved energetic at his mother behind the counter taking someone's order.

She looked up with a warm smile, "have fun sweetie." She said before quickly adding "take your sweater okay?"

Rolling his eyes in fake annoyance, he ran back, grabbing his flaxen colored sweater, and tied it around his waist. He rushed out of the Cafe into the warm sun, shading his eyes as he smiled.

9/6/24: r/SketchDaily theme, "Free Draw Friday." This week's characters from my anthro WWII storyline are Major Titus Ellroy and Hilda (last name never given). They're from the 2002 character list but were never much developed, so I need to work on them. Ellroy is in the British Army and Hilda is a romantic interest for Battleship Gray Rat. There'll be more about them later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.

Regarding their design, Ellroy is supposed to be a sort of big blustery but well-meaning type, thus the mustache; his fur is a bit longer and wavier too, similar to Mahogany's. Hilda is big and imposing, thus her rather menacing look. I drew her eye a bit weird so it bugs me, meh.

TUMBLR EDIT: As I mentioned, these two are referred to in the old character list, but beyond that--and an old, unfinished adult scene featuring Hilda--they were never actively developed. The rest of this entry will be different for both characters.

Here's the 2002 character list description for Hilda:

HILDA: Big-boned, "matronly" woman rescued by the Trench Rats before her city is bombed. Ends up residing in the refugee compound, but storms her way into HQ a lot--no one is brave enough to take her on. Short tempered, explosive, and verbally abusive, but also helps care for the Rats after the influenza strikes. Object of Battleship Gray's affection; he seems to have a thing for larger women. Current storyline

Holy...wait. I remember literally NONE of that except her physical description and that Battleship Gray (BG) has a thing for her, WTF is all the rest of this?? Hahaha. *cough* Okay...anyway. Going on what little I know of her...

Hilda appears in, to my knowledge, one piece of unfinished writing, an adult scene featuring her and BG. I shan't excerpt it because to the best of my memory it adds nothing to any understanding of either character aside from them both having a fetish for each other; Hilda is the stereotypical big, busty, domineering German country woman, and BG, who I've covered already (HERE), has a thing for such women, even if he despises Germans. I dunno, maybe him hating Germans just adds to the appeal. Anyway, that means that's all I really know of Hilda. She was apparently never meant to be much of an important character.

There WAS, at one point, intended to be a subplot involving a virulent strain of the flu--reminiscent of the not-long-previous Spanish flu that is such a major influence (no pun intended) on so many of the characters, such as Himmel and the von Dobermann family--that knocks down a good portion of the Rats for a while. Looks like Hilda was intended to play a role in this subplot. I don't know that this plot remains, so I can't really comment on how it might develop Hilda as a character. She could end up playing a more active role but as things currently stand, I don't have much for her, aside from her being a sort of mild comic relief. I can easily picture her being helpful in the medical ward, while also being a massive pain in the neck to Burgundy and Skye...though maybe she could get along with Indigo or Amaranth? Hmm... 🤔

In any event, that's all I have to share just now. I'm getting down to the bit characters and unnamed characters, so some of these entries might start getting shorter. MIGHT.

Very stable 3rd place <3

hello everyone!! i’m super excited to be here as a personal enjoyer of cosmic horror and the supernatural :-) i’ll be writing for lee gain, local miserable accountant and the living half of a pair of twins lmao ...... unfortunately i’ll be a lil spotty in the coming days bc i have the worst timing ever lol (in the middle of a move welp), but! if u’d like to plot, please leave a like and i’ll drop by ur dms! also available on disk hoard @ iffy miffy#3901 if u would like to plot there instead!

basic rundown + extras + plots under the cut! (CW: mentioned parents & sibling death)

lee gain, 33, local from what was previously the northern village in the nari village (ok she was there for like. barely 24 hrs), now an accountant in dangam-eup spending her days in the smoking area (see: rooftop) of her workplace

bio/bg tl;dr: born the day before the singing stone appeared which killed her parents, grew up with her identical twin sister (gaeun) and grandmother, gain turned out as the more subdued twin vs gaeun the 'troublemaker’ and was even the vp of their student council during high school, during senior yr gaeun dies under uncertain circumstances which gain may or may have not been involved in

and since senior yr, gain’s been plagued with nightmares and visions of gaeun, accumulating to a lil identity crisis moment when she finds that she has a new mole on her face in the exact spot where gaeun's trademark one was :-) 

gave her the death reversed card so there’s gna be some personal change and transformation going on, but is it just metaphorical/emotional??? lol guess we’ll see!

so now she’s 33 and living in an apartment with zero mirrors which. well....... isn’t great but also explains why she looks like she wears the same outfit almost every other day. bc she does

works in an accounting firm so if u need help w business finances and ur taxes then theres that! but her customer service-sona is god awful (as in she doesnt have one) so tread carefully

personality-wise, she’s erm... not exactly the most approachable w those sketchy vibes and all.... if there’s a smoking area at some resto/cafe/bar then u’ll probably find her there / the gym she goes to at like 2am bc she’s deadset on not sleeping most of the time / aimlessly walking around the island

i’d imagine she was just classically?? introverted when she was younger but post-gaeun has both hardened n fractured her shell so now she’s more deadpan + distrusting + rude (some would say a little bit like how gaeun was..... hm......) 

re: the supernatural stuff, she isn’t a skeptic but it’s more of a case where she doesn’t want to believe bc then she has to entertain the idea of her dead sister trying to claim her body as an actual thing so.... take that as u will

but now theres that big squid ... welp!

now onto some v poorly thought out plots (i’m much better w brainstorming so pls let’s do that if none of these work)

this is just wishful thinking but someone who knew her from high school as the mild-mannered vp and witnessed/came back to this almost completely diff person that strangely reminds them of someone else

someone who has a familial connection to the northern village that might’ve heard abt the twins who were born right before the singing stone destroyed everything

fellow neighbour in an unnamed apt complex in dangam-eup who might think of her as a shady character not to be trusted bc she rlly does dress and act the part....

maybe u rlly do need help with ur taxes and therefore hire her services but much to ur surprise she actually gets the job done even though she looks like she’s this close to throwing something at u every time u ask a question

ok im stumped but ty for making it this far and i look forward to plotting/writing with u <3

Otome Jam Thoughts: Obscura [demo]

Obscura - Chapter One: The Descent [Demo][18+]

By: Rotten Racoons

I once heard a story...

There's a marketplace under the mountain where anything can be bought and sold. Visitors wear masks to become faceless strangers. It's home to the unscrupulous, the outcast, and the desperate.

You're one of the desperate.

Strangers with their own secrets and ambitions can show you ways through the market. They'll guide you to your goal, but don't trust them to have your best interests at heart.

This game is full of Bad Vibes and I’m kind of obsessed. While I can’t exactly think of an otome equivalent, I think games like Bloodborne or Blasphemous have similar vibes i.e. religious horror. Which is actually my second favorite type of horror. The main character is very voicey, which I found entertaining despite how unsettled I was feeling otherwise. Cirre was exactly as shady as I expected him to be when I saw him on the game page, and Keir was a lot of fun with all his banter. There’s also an unnamed stranger we meet in the first chapter, and I can’t wait to learn more about him at some point! I also love the main character, they’re so snarky and sarcastic and it makes them really fun to follow! I also really like the art and background, especially the hazy quality the bgs had. I also made my partner play it (lol), and he really enjoyed it! One of the favorites I've played from the jam so far, and I’m so excited for the rest of the game!
