I'm curious to what inspired or attracted to Frans; your art when you portray them is filled with a sense of comfort and bitter longing, it makes me curious is all. Sorry if this is a bother.

Aweee~ Thank you for waiting~ Not at all!!! I love to talk about frans~

Uff where do I start? xD Let's see~ It all started after being in depression for two years due to issues that left me with no desire to draw anymore. At that time, I went through a really terrifying relationship and what comforted me were the comics Shayromi was making. I hadn't played Undertale (at the time, frans was all over the art places I could find, and I loved how a teaser and a sweetheart were so compatible, creating such a loving and sweet relationship, starting with the implications made in the pacifist route, sans' depression covered by his smiling mask and how frisk is the light he needed to get through it, is just adorable (imagine my disappointment, I thought they were canon, also Elys and Arno) Well, I didn't realise when I was already making comics, fanarts, doodles and fanfiction about them, (and a wife? ), but it gave me back my desire to draw and it's been like that ever since~ in fact it makes me angry that I can't find enough time to draw them more often :C

sorry if it was a bit long and my english xD

Have you ever though about doing more oplita mermaid drawings? They're so beautiful! And their dynamic also seems really interesting.

I'd love to but I'm currently on hiatus due to life issues 😛 so maybe in the future

And thank you! 💕

how tall are you??

In Americans? 5 foot 8? Maybe taller? I'm bad at measuring my height, never been good at it. In normal people's? Dunno, I'm bad at maths, too.

May I ask for some details about your Tav? What do you mean by hasnt really lived as a tiefling before? Like literally has never seen another tiefling? Seems like being abducted by the mindflayers introduced major life changes to your Tav

I'm sorry this took so long to answer, but I ended up doing a whole bunch of art to answer this!

Ember has a really extensive backstory that's kind of long, but the short version of it is: she was caught in the crossfire of a deal her parents made with a devil. They couldn't have a child of their own because her mother was too severely ill, so they made the deal in the hopes of returning her health and along with it the ability to bear children. Unfortunately devil deals being what they are, they ended up with Ember who the devil stole from her birth parents.

Her mom was a high elf and her dad a half-elf, and her mom's side of the family were quite vocally anti-Tiefling. Because of her mother's health problems, however, they couldn't just sever contact with her parents because they relied on their money to cover the cost of healers, expensive potion ingredients and the like. They couldn't be trusted not to be a threat to Ember though, so the decision was made to disguise her as their biological daughter throughout her childhood.

Here's an age chart!

As a result, Ember didn't even know she was a Tiefling until she was around 4 or 5, when she began to present as a sorcerer and accidentally undid the disguise spell (she ends up a bard thanks to her mom, but her control of magic comes from sorcery).

Before the events of the game, the most time she ever spent as a Tiefling was when she was 13- when her mom died and her dad disappeared, the disguise spell having relied on her mum's magic. She went through hell for a while after that and as soon as she could learn how to cast the spell herself, she jumped at the chance and went back to living as her old half-elf self. So when she gets taken by the Nautiloid, it's her being forced to actually live as her real self and as a Tiefling for the first time. As a result she doesn't have great control over her tail, because she's just straight up not used to having one.

She also spends a lot of Act 1 jumpscaring herself whenever she walks by a mirror lmao.

I do plan to do some comics that are set earlier in the game at some point, and those ones will explore more of her backstory. What I've done so far has just happened to be set in Act 3, after she's already sorted a lot of her shit out. I just have no idea when that'll actually be!

Ninja sharks

1) Did Draxum mutate sharks because he liked their "killer instincts"

2) is splinter covered in bite scars from raising baby sharks?

3) since they are more aquatic in nature they probably risk drying out, did a worried new parent splinter keep them in water all the time?

4) is splinter still a rat? Or is he a different animal?

1) Um yes of course ^^ I think he saw something from shark week and was just like enamored with their, as you stated, killer instincts and just snatched some sharkies (I think it would be really funny if he kept them and they were just them)

2) oh yeah and they don’t go away bc the boys remain bitey just bc bitey but they are much less aggressive with it and Splints has gotten kinda used to it, sort of like affectionate biting

3) yesssssss yes he did, while it probably wasn’t completely necessary the extent he went to, the babies didn’t mind and had a bunch of fun with it. They did it less and less as they got bigger bc they didn’t need it as much as when they were little, but they definitely have swim days very often.

4) technically there wouldn’t really be a reason for him to be a different animal… but I think that would make it more fun so now he’s a toad!

HEHEHE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK

Being completely real I hadn’t thought of some of this till this ask so it was great to start figuring all this out

Could you please do feral and/or good girl going through a depressive episode?

Haven't been feeling well and wanna be seen :<

Aww sharkie I’m sorry about that. It’s that time of year, unfortunately. I think I’ve done feral with a depressive episode before (at least in part) so we’ll do Good Girl this time.

Price knows almost instantly that something’s up. You’ve been moving a little slow recently, a little listless. He has to remind you to do your chores, but it’s not like you’re being fussy or reluctant. You just… seem to be struggling with getting up the energy to do anything.

You eat when he tells you to, but you haven’t been finishing your plates. You’ve been leaning into him extra hard during snuggle times. Sleeping most of the day and seem to struggle to sleep at night. And you haven’t been interested in doing more than watching tv or playing games on your (heavily modified) phone.

It’s getting into the winter months, even going outside for some sunshine is getting difficult, especially with his schedule.

He decides to decorate the house early for the holiday. And that the guest room needs a makeover. And oh, you know what, it’s time for vitamin d supplements and this interesting new lamp he just bought that happens to mimic sunlight. It’s for the plants, he assures when you squint at him, but he scoots you suspiciously close to it during your new mandatory hour of outside/porch time.

And, slowly, you start to feel a bit like your old self.

[questionsforpossums]

what is your opinion on sharks

possum approves of sharkies, sharkies get demonized too much

[sharksmirk]

hey i like your blog :) do you have any tats?

Hey, thanks! 🫶

No, I don't have any tats, tbh I don't think they'd look good on me 😜 Also, a tattoo artist friend told me to print a picture of any tattoo I want and look at it every day for six months to see if I get bored, and no picture has passed the test yet 🙈

1 4 17 19

1, tumblr crush with @:

all women. I'm a fucking simp. I'll dom your ass, but 2 seconds later I'll be "you chill baby, imma get you some food and drink n I'll clean you up". Fun fact: I've never actually had a crush as far as I can tell. You're pretty cute tho sooo

4, fav piece of clothing:

either my binder or my gay beanie. My button ups and flannels come close tho. Or any of my jeans bc they make me look very handsomely masc.

17, ass/titties/thighs:

all of them. From my limited experience, I very much enjoy all of them. I love spanking a girl's ass, love running my hands up and down, scratching my fingers over the swell of her ass and making her shiver, watching her buck and whine and squeal, watching her cheeks turn red aflame. I love playing with a girl's tits, touching, squeezing, pulling and plucking and hently twist rubbing her nipples between my thumb and finger until she's whining and breatheless. I love the soft plushness of a woman's thighs, especially thick thighs, to scratch them up a little, grip them, leave them red, I imagine I'd enjoying biting them too.

19, favourite perfumes:

I wear cologne rather than perfume, mine typically have woodsy and warm spiced scents. If we're talking what smell I'd enjoy on a woman though, I don't really know, I like to think I'm rather flexible about things like that.

Does Ember actually love Astarion or is he just a best friend? I was just curious! Haha

Oh, the answer is a big both! They're best friends, partners, soul mates, each other's Person. If they were shelter cats they'd be pair bonded and have to be adopted together. Whether they are or aren't romantically involved doesn't matter, they're each other's ride or die regardless.

But to be more specific, Astarion is Ember's 'canon' relationship, with Rolan being something of an AU that I just happened to end up doing a comic about first.

I'm not someone who likes to make multiple OCs to pair up with different characters, cause not only do I get too attached to one, I just overall find it a lot more fun to take a single character like Ember and play around with what would happen if she were to end up with someone different. See what changes or stays the same depending on the partner she ends up with.

But no matter what, she and Astarion end up a duo to at least some degree, even if it's just as partners in crime.

pssst…..jade….does this make Big mama crab in your shark AU? Crabs are related to spiders and it would just be so funny shdhsjsh (unless you had something else planned 👀)

YOU HAVE GREAT TIMING I DO IN FACT HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED AHKDKDLSHDBDKLSSHSJDKS

I kinda wish I would’ve seen this before I started working on this tho bc I didn’t know that crabs and spiders were related, tho I did have to give her legs that look kinda crab like so perhaps she’s more of an anglerfish-crab yokai ^^

MASTERPOST

Oh and like… I have ideas for some other characters so anybody is free to ask about them bc I need an excuse to draw them (cough cough, April or Drax, cough cough)
