Oswald the Ashwinder Scout by @horizontaldancer0

Ashwinder Soldier by Ernie Macnair by @vforeversworldsworld

Ashwinder Executioner Angus McLaggen's letter by @sythine

Poacher Tracker Frederick Mills' valentine for Poppy by @everaftermagic - I had to edit it slightly since I told her the wrong name 🥹

My part (the bit with the Stalker inviting Animagus to the fair) is an abbreviated conversation that's in the voice files but isn't used in the game.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Honestly why do the Ashwinders + poachers look all so fucking cool

[wwheeljack]

[carmello-matcha]

Technically headcanons but are just expanded on canonical facts about the MC

Spoiler-ish but it should be irrelevant enough since I'm only focusing on the MC themself who at the moment is the equivant to a camera in terms of plot relevancy (I am so sorry but you really can replace them with a lamp n it'd make no difference and most of them are more from the side quests anyway)

Can be quite charismatic.

Frankly speaking its Hagrid but considering that they were a first year at that time to fully convince him to accompany them and Daniel to go to the forbidden forest under the guise of supervision/safety The text when you invite Daniel to dance. just that. in general.

Is a bit mischievious

In the MP regen potion quest where the mc has the option to suggest adding bertie botts flavor beans into the potion

Knows a thing or two about fashion.

the male mc deadass goes to diagon alley in an outfit called "tailored overcoat" if that doesn't scream fasionable idk what is A more story based reference would be heading to Madaam Malkins with Cassandra since the MC gifts her a pair of gloves as thanks and she comments that they're not hopeless at all which is high praise in her words

Is a skilled duelist

A regular dueling club member and can hold their ground against a dark wizard long enough to overwhelm them to retreat (Ashwinder quest) and beat a 7th year (seriously Elliot its one thing to make yourself look strong against a horde of acromantula in front of a group of third years but you got your ass handed by one of said 3rd year)

For some reason knows how to sneak out of Hogwarts without anyone noticing???

Its more of an overlooked trivial footnote but I find it more funny if the MC can sneak out of the scotland countryside all the way to central london undetected and back in their first year (Erumpent Sidequest) but still needs a parent's permission and be a third year to go a village within walking distance from hogwarts

Has some insecurities due to them being a muggleborn

Feeling like they're a bit behind compared to their friends (Hermione Sidequest) Which is a bold faced lie considering they're constantly saving their friends asses from their shenanigans ahem daniel during the entire second year plot line ahem

Other than the owl Hagrid gifts them, they also have a pet niffler

according to the niffler side quest they're the one taking care of it which goes to my next headcanon

Is excellent with magical creatures or just creatures in general

Manages to convince said niffler to return their friends stolen objects, befriending a hippogriff, and make a firecrab listen to them Even Slughorn himself comments on their skill that he'd go to them if Hagrid wasn't available

Playing Hogwarts Legacy as an adult, a different POV. (Possible SPOILERS ahead, please beware)

Okay, hear me out:

When the game was announced I was super excited about the Dark Arts path, so of course as soon as I was able to play I immediately headed for that route.

But then that scene where you have to duel Sebastian happened and I thought "damn, OC is an insane duelist!" soooo... I guess my mind kind of spiraled from there because I somehow got this headcanon that OC was actually undercover at Hogwarts.

Oddly got their letter at a later age, mad skillz™️, really polite and mature... Makes sense, right?

But I don't want to be an Auror. I want to be EVIL!

So, how about an Ashwinder? Victor Rookwood is a pretty cool villain: charismatic af, kinda good looking; I can see us chilling while watching dragons fight- no wait, I hate poachers with a passion. I love magical beasts. No way my OC would ever harm one or stand by and watch as one gets hurt.

And theeeeennnnn... I met professor Aesop Sharp. 10/10 "your daughter/son/adultchild calls me daddy too". I'd like to say it was love at first sight but it was the whole "acknowledging responsibility" speech that got me.

And before you call me weird... I'm in my twenties and as much as I love the "companions" that the game lets you have, I can't physically bring myself to ship my OC with a teenager. Big no no. Weirds me the f out.

So behold, the ultimate headcanon that has been living rent free in my head since the release:

OC is a rogue ashwinder who betrayed the - organisation? Cult? Club? Ah whatever you get it - and somehow found a way to disguise themselves as a student to avoid repercussions. After all, hogwarts is a pretty safe place. They could easily stay under the radar until things had calmed down a bit.

Unless... Unless some students decided they were tired of poachers and ashwinders and decided to take the matter into their own hands. So what was oc supposed to do? Just look the other way and hide while kids got slaughtered?

Nope. Their conscience was screaming enough as it was, they couldn't let it get any louder. So they help Poppy and Nat and try their best to keep Sebastian safe while he dabbles in the dark arts (after all, they know first hand how futile it is to try and smother that fire. You need to get burnt to learn.).

Until they go too far, they become a problem. Rookwood is pissed. Avada Kedavra pissed. Life or death. Their young and foolish friends or them.

It's an easy choice, really.

They drop the spell/potion/ancient magic/whatever that made them seem younger, so the focus is on them. Rookwood's rage is on them.

The shock, the drama.

Your trusted hogwarts companion was an Ashwinder all along. Former ashwinder, but does it really matter to a teenager who only sees the world as black and white?

Would it matter to the professor OC fell for? To the other professor, the one who guided them through the keepers' trials? Or to sweet professors Weasley and Garlick, who went above and beyond to teach them everything they knew?

Would it matter to the aurors who would eventually capture them?

Ladies, gentlemen and fine people, this is my headcanon. This would be my OC (if I was a skilled modder).

Thank you for coming to my -delirious- TED talk.

(and if you have similar or opposite headcanon, please drop them below. I would love to read them!)

Edit: I actually wrote a fic inspired by this! It's gender neutral (You POV) and I had a lot of fun with it!

Here's the link:

[ilovewritingfics]

Love Anais’ design!! I’m wondering, what would her battle quotes be for various things in the game? Things like winning a duel, losing a duel, low HP, stuff like that?

Anais is composed in her battle quotes, like generally speaking you would never hear any expletives coming out of her mouth from her losses. Nor will she boast her victories over multiple enemies and Crossed Wand duels.

Instead she quotes statements like:

After winning her Crossed Wands duels- "That was fun, I don't mind duelling with you again."

Losing a duel- "Well, that means that there is still room for improvement. I admit my defeat."

When she's on low HP- "Need my Wiggenweld potion."

After a successful raid of Ashwinder camp- "Oh, I can't wait to soak into a warm bath after an arduous raid."

Nearly lost her life: "How unacceptable, I cannot afford to be a weak and inconvenient duelist."

After rescuing beasts from poacher camps: "Now you are free, my friend!”

If the beast is too hurt to go home: “There, there my friend, I’ll take care of you. You’re safe with me.”

Thank you for the ask and I hope my answer will suffice! ☺️

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

Thank you @ephemerasnape for the ask ☺️

In the past i was not really confident about my art but with the praise and other feedback i got for my work made me improve and made it more fun. Before i started 3D models i used to draw everything from scratch which annoyed me to an extend ( because i don't want to practise anathomy for hours)and i was never satisfied, but now i feel motivated to draw more often. Some call using 3D models as cheating but i simply disagree. It's another tool to improve art.

The first wok i am proud of is my MC Brittany, though she has a dark side , which is typical for a slytherin, she is very dear to me. I think i made a good job with the green light. Looking at it today i would have drawn it differently.

Since i am an Ashwinder fan and appreciate Ashwinder Duelist (Davies) i needed to draw her with an cocky expression on a chair. It would be wise to give her all of your galleons. I attended a drawing contest with this piece. I didn't won but it got noticed from one of my favorite youtubers, which make me proud until today. Sometimes you have to celebrate the small things in life, right?

The last piece is Iago from Fire Emblem Fates. It’s one of my pieces where i used 3D models. Though he is an ass i found him strangely entertaining and he has a great aesthetic. I have to say that the character creators of fates , in my opinion, were incredibly talented. I am proud of this work because i managed to do a decent shading and his face to be similar to the offical art of him.

Okay now i am done with the bragging, thank you again. ☺️

"I knew I couldn't agree with him anymore after the scriptorium, he'd become too obsessed. I just wish we had forced him to stop sooner." She admitted.

At his words the memories of being down there hit her like the curse had. When she'd told Sebastian she wouldn't use the curse on him and she got hit by it she hadn't expected to to be as bad as it was, not too mention a few other times Rookwood's ashwinders had used it on her in what seemed like all too frequent battles. "I appreciate that, wasn't the last time that I got hit by it though." She admitted sheepishly, everyone thought of her as some expert duelist but in reality she mainly relied on her ancient magic abilities.

"So, I can't make up for what I inadvertently put you through, but would you like to come and visit the Room of Requirement? I have a few vivariums set up, one has an actual Phoenix I helped rescue." She offered.

Open Starter

Lavinia was glad to be back at Hogwarts, after her dramatic first year at the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry she hoped to have a relatively quiet school year, maybe try out for the house quidditch team if Professor Black allowed it to return. Slipping on her house robe back on she quickly grabbed some books along with her quill and some parchment to bring up to the Room of Requirement to get things ready for classes to start tomorrow. This year she actually got to see the first years get sorted and see the entire sorting ceremony which she enjoyed. As Lavinia made her way through the twisting corridors of the school she accidentally brushed up too close to someone and knocked a stack of books from under their arm. "Oh I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention." She spoke, scrambling to help with the books.

REAL ASHWINDER FACES!

Here it is, folks... What was never meant to be seen, and which you may well regret seeing.

Their shining, happy faces are below the cut.

Remember: What has been seen cannot be unseen.

First, my favorite... Ashwinder Soldier.

Yes, folks... This is Ernie. Ernie Macnair. And we bangin'. (and by looks of the AI-edited second picture, he feels the same.)

Presenting Ashwinder Executioner, Angus McLaggen. We thought he'd look just like Selwyn and I don't think he does, not 100% at least. Maybe 80%. He looks a bit younger to me, rounder in face. Nose broken at some point. 10/10 would. (Second pic is AI edited - finding his Chocolate Frogs gone!)

Ashwinder Ranger. So they didn't do the full hair under the hats which looks really bad, so to avoid giving the wrong impression I will crop that part out.

Not too bad forRanger. She's got a small mouth for someone with such a big mouth (like me).

Ashwinder Duellist. Vaguely resembling Tempeste Thorne.

Ashwinder Assassin giving Ailsa Travers.. Not bad, just... Well, she does look like a witch, I'd say. I've a huge batch of pictures of Ailsa to go through, but here's one for your reference.

BONUS: Gwendolyn Zhou!

Not bad. Not bad at all.

I can't bring myself to show you Scout. It's bad. Really bad. So let's pretend it doesn't exist, okay?

Thanks so much to @deathlysallows for getting these.

Dark Witch Voice Clips

Just put together these unused clips for the Dark Witch voices (there are only two, sadly) that I thought were pretty interesting.

I don't do a lot with them because I am *shock and horror* heterosexual⭐ but they are pretty cool (especially my girl Animagus)...

Dark Witch A: Ashwinder Assassin / Poacher Animagus

Dark Witch B: Ashwinder/Poacher Duelist and Ranger

⭐yes, I understand that not everything has to be sexual but that's just what interests me the most right now.

[ephemerasnape]

Our man Angus... pouting over his stolen sweets, maybe.

Speaking of sweets... Assassin looks almost sweet here.

In reality, I think the Executioners would be from-behind only. Unless you're extremely flexible..

Their arrivals are always the best... Purple for Ashwinders, orange for Poachers.

Ernie is hot and cool. Well, they all are, huh.

This is cute. Hadn't noticed it before.

Secretly hoping he'll notice me...

oh no..... I'm toast

Dude, no.

*smack*

One scoop of Ashwinder Soldier, please. With sprinkles.

I like him more every day.

Am I the only blind MFer that didn't realize these barrels had words on them?

[ephemerasnape]

On Your Knees (Audio)

You're caught and subjugated by Ashwinders... NC

DARK & DISTURBING THEMES

Ashwinder Executioner x F!Listener

Ashwinder Duelist x F!Listener

EXPLICIT AUDIO 18+

Violence / Noncon / Praise Kink / Threats / Cruelty / Rough Oral Sex / FFM Threesome (sort of) / Dead Dove?

"You'll suck my cock like your life depends on it... and it does!"

ETA: Part two here!

[ephemerasnape]

Random Dark Wizard-related stuff!

They're heavy drinkers. But I'm not sure the Acromantula Venom bottle is even present.

Getting hit by the Scout's basic cast attack does not debilitate you enough to prohibit photo mode. How are these babies considered "dark wizards"?

I caught Animagus' drumstick in the process of being produced from her "pocket" or whatever. It's so cute!

"Want some?"

Animagus spaghetti. In her bubble she does look like a marble.

Their arrivals are always so cool.

So pretty.

Just thought these sheets were cute for dark wizards...

Never noticed this cute dizzy indicator thing until recently.

Bitch wants to threaten while she is herself stuck in a wall.

I love that Duellist spaghetti.

Mortimus didn't have enough of his own pictures this time to necessitate his own post, but these are really important!

Privacy, please...

I love how when you go into photo mode to photograph a corpse, when you come out it throws the corpse again, producing these horrific contortions...

We're burying Ranger with her dog and her favorite hula hoop.
