"I happen to know a guy"

"'Death happens', as we like to say. And when I get paid for it, death happens more often."

[championsandheroes]

I am nothing if not embarrassingly predictable. Can we pretend that I'm just a very forgiving, empathic, and patient person? And the way that all my favorite characters are… nothing but wholesome and respectable people gives you no reason to question my judgement?

And yes I can be convinced to draw more stuff with these characters for Patreon and society6 at the drop of a hat.

[yes-these-obsessions-are-healthy]

Idea spawned from this post I made about these three queer disasters. I fully accept this may not be the most accurate, but I took some pointers from each of their TV Tropes pages.

Feel free to adjust, edit, add, or whatever, but tag me so I can see them! :D

Happy Halloween from Sakurai Clan

(+ Yomi!)

Aranai - Zombie

"Thank God Shisuta didn't see me leaving the house like this. I know for a fact that she would have either died of fright or made me change into something less... horrific. Anyway, what do you think? I did the make-up myself. It took me a whole three hours to make sure I got it right; thank God for YouTube. ...What? ...Oh, this? It's fake, duh! It's just made to look like human flesh. Helps me get in character. Anyway, here. Have fun trick-or-treating, or whatever the hell you plan on doing tonight."

You received a treat!

Brainy Gummies. Despite the name, they are just fruit-flavored gummy candy that's shaped like brains. A fitting gift from a "zombie", wouldn't you say?

Shisuta - Friendly Witch

"Haha... hi there. Uhm... if you're wondering why I'm dressed like this, well... you have my "daughter" to thank for that. When I told her I didn't have a Halloween costume, she took it upon herself to buy me a costume, which was nice, I suppose. ...I just really wish she would have asked me before she did. I've been whistled and leered at by so many perverted men tonight! *Sighs* Oh well. By the way, please take this, and have yourself a safe and blessed night!"

You received a treat!

"Magic" Wands. Though they aren't really made of magic, the tastes of these lollipops shaped like wands do carry a bit of a "magical" taste to them.

Kisouna - Lady Justice

"...Please do not ask me what I was thinking when I decided to wear this outfit. I made the mistake of waiting till the last minute to purchase a costume and this was all that the party store had left. Truthfully, it isn't all bad. It's just... ow! Blast it! ...Yes, that's the issue. I have a very hard time of seeing through this blindfold. The cashier said it was see-through, but I think she was just trying to get me to hurry up and buy it. ...I know I can take it off, but that ruins the authenticity and purpose of the outfit. *Sighs* At least I have Yomi with me to help guide me. Anyway, please take these for listening to me ramble. Be safe, and do not get up to any mischief!"

You received a treat!

"Scales of Justice" Chocolate. Truthfully, these "Scales of Justice" are really just chocolate coins with gold aluminum foil on them, and a scale on both sides. What exactly about these are "balanced"?

Bonus! Yomi - Angel

"Hiii! Look, I'm dressed as an angel this year! Auntie Shisuta said it was very 'fitting' cause that's what I'm actually going to be someday. I'll admit, I didn't really get it, but she did say I was cute, so I guess it's fine! Anyway, here! Have some of the candy I have! Mommy says too much is bad, so I think giving some is good! Have fun trick-or-treating!"

You received a treat!

Heavenly Halos. These peach-flavored gummy rings can fit on any of your fingers, allowing you to bite into them whilst holding your large bag of candy. Just be sure not to accidentally bite your fingers!

Daiki's Thoughts on Ueno Division

Aranai Norikoru

“Former…? She’s looking for redemption? How fortunate that I get to see another wicked soul looking to be saved! I wonder who inspired her to do it. I bet they’re someone kind! And dependable! Someone who can soothe the most wild of hearts! I hope I can be like that someday. Maybe, maybe I can chat with Aranai and find out! I want to help Aranai get better too!”

Shisuta Heisha

“I said it before… Talk to Jack if you wanna talk about religion!”

Kisouna Yuzairu

“A lawyer like Mr. Hitoya? Do you think they know each other? I’ve never heard him talk about her! What’s she like? Is she a good lawyer or a bad lawyer? I hope she’s a good one! I’ve heard from Mr. Hitoya, sometimes lawyers will defend villains. But since it says Ms. Yuzairu is a prosecutor, that means she punishes villains, right? Right?!”

Sakurai Clan

“If I had to think about it… Maybe Ms. Yuzairu put Aranai in her place and showed her there’s a chance to change! At least that’s my theory. Only way to find out is to cross paths! P-Preferably casually. I dunno if I wanna fight them… Not that I’m scared! I just want to start off on the right foot with them. Wouldn’t want to fumble a chance to get new friends- I mean allies!”

@minato-division03 @aoyama-division <3

The main event of the ceremony has begun and everyone in attendance stood up in unison (with the exception of Luis and Sumire who both remained seated) as they watched the bride, the Lady of the Hour, Miho Kobayashi elegantly glide down the aisle where at the end stood her one true love, her very soon to be husband, Tomi Chōten who was looking at her with complete love and pride as he waited for her to join him. A gentle squeeze of her hand reminded her of the person that she was currently holding onto the arm from, Goro gave his pseudo-daughter a proud smile as he led her down the aisle, beforehand, Miho had asked him to, not wanting to go alone and because Goro had been more of a father to her than her actual one had been and there was no one else she wanted to “give her away” so to speak. Goro, who was absolutely honored and even gotten a bit emotional, was more than happy to accept.

It didn’t take long for Miho to make it to the end of the aisle, turning to Goro, the bride and her butler gave each other a warm hug before Goro made his way to his own seat as Miho handed her bouquet to Ritsuko and went to join hands with Tomi. The couple gave each other a loving look as Shisuta, the officiant for the wedding, cleared her throat to begin her speech. “You may be seated.” She addressed the audience who all now took their seats.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments, and to cherish the words which shall unite Tomi Chōten and Miho Kobayashi in marriage.”

Everyone attentively listened as Shisuta spoke clearly and loudly detailing the love between Miho and Tomi, some people wiping their eyes and sniffling in an attempt to control their emotions making Sumire silently scoff to herself and earning her some glares from the guards that were surrounding her as per orders from the bride and groom. The anarchist sighed and start to impatiently tapped her finger on her stocking clad thigh, mentally screaming at Shisuta to just get it over with already.

After a couple of minutes of giving proper formality (“If anyone wants to object, speak now or forever hold your peace.” Immediately everyone turned to Sumire who just scowled and flipped them all the bird but ultimately said nothing), it was finally time for Tomi and Miho to exchange their vows, after Miho had finished with hers and nearly brought the whole chapel to tears, it was now Tomi’s turn.

And although she did not show any visible reaction, Sumire’s eyes lit up slightly.

“You look as beautiful as the day I first laid eyes on you, my Queen…”

Sumire carefully shifted to sit properly, ignoring the scathing look from the guards.

“I know I said this before, but…a man could spend a lifetime searching for a good thing, and he could never find it.”

Unbeknownst to literally everyone, nobody took notice of the camouflage mechanical spiders that creeped and crawled around and settled themselves all over the venue.

“Either because he wasn’t looking hard enough, or because he wasn’t paying attention…”

A group of smaller spider soldiers crawled onto the guards surrounding Sumire and lied in wait for the moment the signal was given.

“Fortunately for me, my eyes were open when I laid sight on you, my beautiful wife.”

Sumire gripped the underside of her seat and for the first time since this day began, smiled widely, teeth showing and all.

“Words can’t express how I feel about you, and how happy I am that you will be in my life.”

Feeling up a small button on the underside of her chair, the silver eyed girl faintly muttered the phrase that will determined the fate of this wedding.

“My cute friend is a black cat.”

With that, she pressed the button.

“So…thank you, my Queen, and my love.”

It happened in an instant, as Sumire was swallowed up by the trap door that had opened right underneath her seat and disappeared, the screams of the security drowned out the last thing Tomi said as they were electrocuted to the point of passing out. Multiple gasps and screams were heard throughout the room as the wedding abruptly ended and the show was about to begin.

— Outside —

Aranai Norikoru scrolled lazily on her phone as she sat on her beloved Yamaha motorcycle which was running (and had been running for a while now, the pink haired girl made a note to make Sumire pay her some gas money when she sees her) while she waited for her friend to exit the chapel where her friend’s aunt and that slimey bastard Chōten were to be wed.

Unsurprisingly, the only reason why she was even here was to serve as Sumire’s getaway driver when shit inevitably hits the fan, Aranai accepted of course, despite the teasing she did to the anarchist beforehand, she dutifully came to her friend’s aid which lead to her waiting outside right now for any sort of sign of the black and purple haired girl.

Sure enough, speak of the devil and she shall appear, Sumire bursts out of the door and made a mad dash towards the Bōsōzoku with a giant grin on her face, damn near crashing into her but not enough to drive her to the ground, Aranai placed her phone in her pocket as Sumire frantically got on the motorcycle behind her and held onto the pink haired girl tightly. “Drive, fUCKING DRIVE!” She yelled and the chapel doors opened to reveal a few guards that had chased her out of the door, Aranai didn’t need to be told twice as she kicked her motorcycle into gear and the two criminals high tailed it the fuck out of there, laughing like maniacs all the while.

Akihisa's Thoughts on Ueno Division

Aranai Norikoru

“The legendary bōsōzoku herself,” Akihisa deadpanned. “Even in prison, the inmates would whisper about how someone or another lost to her and her gang the Yozakura. They would say nothing could stop her until the Katen over in Yokohama did and brutally if I may add.” Akihisa pulled out a cigarette lighting it. “In my opinion, I don't see what is so impressive of a girl who can ride a bike better than most.”

Shisuta Heisha

“How rare to see a nun in Japan given that Catholicism has little influence over the people here.” Akihisa mused. “Back in Italia many of the mafioso were deeply catholic and it was not uncommon for them to pray to the Virgin Mary before going out to kill a man. I always found it hypocritical of them to pray to such a venerated figure and then go commit atrocities. Personally, I lost all my faith in God after my mother’s death. May her own never falter because sometimes it's all you have.”

Kisouna Yuzairu

“Ah yes her.” Akihisa clicked his tongue. “The prosecutor at all of our trials. Unlike Touya and Rintaro whose trials were turned into circus shows by the media, my trial was forbidden to the public. Chuohku was afraid I would spill government secrets. As if many of their secrets aren't already out in the open.” Akihisa scoffed. “That being said the only people in the courtroom were the judge, the jury, the prosecution, the defense, and I obviously. Yuzairu barely let that bother and carried forth with her statements. In any other circumstance, I would admire Yuzairu’s determination but it’s quite vexing when that determination is set on you at the moment. It makes it hard to plan, you see.”

Sakurai Clan

“Frankly, I care very little for this team. They're not either one of the divisions Chuohku wants us to eliminate and for that reason I'm not going to give them more than a passing glance even with Yuzairu’s animosity against us.. However, that doesn't mean they'll be an easy team to destroy. Quite the opposite if I'm being honest.” Akihisa slightly frowned. “I would not be surprised if they forced us to pull out every trick we have.”

[resol-nare]

I can't explain it but I just really need my Lavellan, Zevran, and Dorian to be friends. Give me Lavellan, Zevran, and Dorian all hanging out, getting drunk, and lamenting about their love lives.

I don't know why, how, when, or where they would all meet but I need this.

Veiltober Day 1 - Veilguard

Name: Rook Brosca-Aranai de Riva Pronouns: They/Them Race/Class: Qunari Spellblade Faction: The Antivan Crows Background: The adoptive Qunari child of Warden-Commander Beth Brosca and Zevran Aranai, trained in magic by her aunt Morrigan, and now leader of the Veilguard.

What a nightmare… 

Rook sighs, letting their legs dangle into the ether of the veil swirling below the Lighthouse. One wrong move and they might slip into the void forever, though they can’t deny there’s a part of them that is curious what would happen. It’s the fade, so they wouldn’t die. They’d just float. Would the Dreadwolf save them? Or maybe the Caretaker? If things got desperate, maybe Davrin could send Assan to lug them back to semi-solid ground. 

Most of them is just… tired. They’ve been running all across Thedas like a nug in a maze, fighting, recruiting, arguing, learning, leading -- it was starting to wear on them. Between the numbness in their fingers from channeling mana and the various half-healed wounds across their skin, their whole body is wrapped in a dull ache. 

The view is nice, though. That sunrise warmth casting a gold glow over the pale stones with thin white clouds swirling beneath their feet. Rook lets their mind drift with those pale wisps, trying to pretend they’re alone in the world and not the far-too-young leader of a group fighting blighted gods.

They’re not sure how long they’ve sat there before footsteps bring them back to themself. A pair of black boots catch their eye first, then the bottom of a mug being offered down to them. Lucanis is quiet, but his mouth twists upwards in one corner. It’s more of a smile than smirk, and Rook accepts the mug of coffee he’s offering with a grin of their own. 

“Thanks.” 

He straightens up and Bellara appears at his side, followed by Davrin. “Mind if we join you?” 

“Not at all.” Rook pats the stone beside them.  “Plenty of space for more on this rock. Just watch your step, I’m not sure what happens if you slip.” 

“Let’s not find out.” Lucanis cautions, taking a seat on one side of them while Bellara flops down on their other side. Davrin settles in further back with Assan sprawling in his lap, chirping happily at being included. 

“I’m with you on that.” Rook takes a sip of coffee, kicking their heels back against the rock beneath them. A childish motion that they quickly put an end to, frowning into the drink. Just another reminder of how unsuited they are to leading the group.

Bellara smiles sweetly at her. “Maybe there are other ways we can test it. Safer ways! Maybe Assan can scout it out for us!”

“I doubt it.” Davrin’s words are affectionate but ring with exhaustion. “We’re still working on his training.” 

 A new voice adds to the discussion as three more join them, Taash reaching out to ruffle Rook’s hair as she passes. “We could tie a rope around your waist and throw you over, see what happens.” 

“Not me!” Rook bats her hands away and then smiles at Harding and Neve. “I’m too big, we need someone smaller!”

Harding holds up her hands, retreating to Davrin’s side before Taash can get any closer. “Not it. What about Manfred?” 

“Absolutely not.” As if summoned, Emmerich and the skeleton in question appear. Manfred sets a stool down behind the group for his summoner to rest on, the man waggling a stern finger at Harding. “You cannot simply throw him around!” 

“That’s enough.” There’s a tired sigh from the resident detective who eases herself beside Bellara. “We’ve already invaded Rook’s hiding spot, let’s not fill it with pointless chatter, hm?” 

The group quiets down at her words, settling down to take in the view. Bellara and Harding occasionally point out a strange cloud or sparking light, while Rook raises the mug towards Lucanis, who cheers them with a slight roll of his eyes. The quiet had been nice, but Rook finds they don’t mind the intrusion. They may have come together under odd circumstances, but were united in more than just their goals.

Also... as you may (or may not) know I'm a dragon age fan. Have been since origins and err since veilguard dropped yesterday on the day of the great boopening, I was a bit distracted. This is why

My baby (Avantika) got rather popular over on twitter, and I felt like I had to guard her with my life (hehe she means a lot to me). Anyways, for those not in the know, Avantika Aranai is the daughter of my hero of ferelden and zevran. I think there's the original lore post floating around somewhere with the original art of her too if you want to learn more.

But since she's officially in world now, this is what she looks like. She has her fathers eyes.
