Yara😢 what's next Ama? Are we not able to have a maternal figure in our life? Curse?!

I'm thinking about the other female characters who might offer maternal wisdom and the only one I can think of is the healer who helps you after the fainting spell/Atses' Heart incident 👀😅 So I suppose not. But I mean, if you're fine with politically motivated and possibly stab-you-in-the-back maternal figures, there's always Sovereign Amera and Princess Lamahu 😆

If you had the power to write a storyline for one DC hero and one DC villian, who would it be and why? - 🌻

Imma be excluding Jason for this one bc I decided he's an antihero and I have way too much to say about my gum drop.

Hero definitely Yara Flor, I feel like having someone who's brazilian write her would solve a lot of issues I have with her character and how brazilian folklore is portrayed, I also know a bunch of indigenous creators from my community and know they would be down for it.

Villain Punchline, there's so much to do with her character and I feel like having her being a Red Hood antagonist/villain would be a great way to not drown her in-between Batman's rogue gallery, the idea of someone so obsessed with Joker having his "biggest victim" as her opponent is delicious.

thank you for the ask 🌻 !!

Made a post about my 3 things I want to see with every Wonder Woman adaptation, despite needing to do some catching up myself. Related, do you have a link to a Wonder Woman reading list?

Nice list!

As for my Wonder Woman recs list....technically, yes. I made a Wonder Woman starter recs list way back in 2017 right after the movie came out. However, it's outdated, I've changed my opinion on some of the things I said there as I've read more Wonder Woman comics, and it also fails to include several good comics. So here's my current Wonder Woman recs list:

Starter comics: These are great comics to read if you're new to Wonder Woman comics or only have a passing familiarity with her:

Wonder Woman: Year One, by Greg Rucka

Wonder Woman (1987) #1-62, by George Perez

Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, by Greg Rucka

JLA: League of One, by Christopher Moeller

The Legend of Wonder Woman, by Ray Dillion and Renee De Liz

Wonder Woman: Historia, by Kelly Sue DeConnick

Wonder Woman (1987) #170, by Phil Jimenez (the Diana-Lois 'Day in the Life' issue)

"Generations" from Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman, by Michael Jelenic (Issue #12 digitally, Issue #7 print)

Wonder Woman: Our Worlds At War, by Phil Jimenez (warning: this oneshot ties into the "Our Worlds at War" event, so the frame story will probably be confusing, but the majority of the story is a solid retelling of the collective Amazonian history up to that point)

Second-level comics: read these once you have a baseline familarity with Diana and her supporting cast:

Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez, including Paradise Lost/Paradise Found (which I don't think are in the current Jimenez omnibus)

Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka (his first run on the title), with a particular call-out for the Medusa arc

Wonder Woman: The Circle and Ends of the Earth, by Gail Simone

Wonder Woman Rebirth (2016), by Greg Rucka (Rucka's second run; everything except Year One fits here)

Wonder Woman: The Twelve Labors (WW 1942 #212-222), by Len Wein and assorted other writers

Wonder Woman/Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour, by James Tynion IV

Wonder Woman: Lords and Liars by Mariko Tamaki

All of the comics on both lists are great; I have no hesitation recommending any of them. However, I will give a blanket warning for sexual assault in the Amazons' backstory, particularly during the seminal Perez run (which is very dated in how it handles the topic, unfortunately), and put a general note that while I can't think of anything outright offensive, various social issues are not always handled with grace (especially in the older runs).

Comics featuring the Wonderfam supporting cast:

Tales of the Titans (2023) #3, by Steve Orlando* (for Donna)

New Teen Titans: Who is Donna Troy?, by Marv Wolfman*

Titans (1999), by Devin Grayson (for Donna)*

The Return of Donna Troy, by Phil Jimenez (collected in The Death and Return of Donna Troy)*

Titans (2023), by Tom Taylor (for Donna)

Wonder Woman: Lifelines (WW 1987 #105-108) and WW #109-113, by John Byrne (Cassie Sandsmark's introduction)

Young Justice (1998), by Peter David (for Cassie)*

Nubia and the Amazons, by Stephanie Williams and Vita Ayala*

Nubia: Queen of the Amazons, by Stephanie Williams and Vita Ayala*

Wonder Woman: The Contest (WW 1987 #0 and #90-100), by William Messner-Loebs (for Artemis of Bana-Mighdall)

Artemis: Requiem, by William Messner-Loebs (Note: this is not actually recommended reading. It's utterly cursed and I wouldn't put it on here if it wasn't absolutely necessary to understand how Artemis isn't dead after "The Contest." Read everything else on this list before you read this mini)

Wonder Woman: Gods of Gotham (WW 1987 #164-167), by Phil Jimenez*

Red Hood and the Outlaws Rebirth (2016) #1-24, by Scott Lobdell (for post-Flashpoint!Artemis, who's basically a different character)

Future State: Wonder Woman, by Joelle Jones (Yara Flor)

Wonder Girl (2021), by Joelle Jones (for Yara) (Note: this run is "just okay" and I'm reccing it with several reservations. However, it's also Yara's most prominent comic to date)

I've starred the ones on this list that I actually recommend as "good comics to read" and not just "decent starter comics for the character." Warning for depictions of sexual assault, bad art if you're looking at a pre-2000s comic, and being forced to engage with Scott Lobdell and William Messner-Loebs' writing.

I also recommend DC Bombshells by Marguerite Bennett; it's an Elseworlds comic set in WWII that co-stars Diana and it's delightful. There's certainly others that are decent, but I think this is a solid starter list if you want to understand Wonder Woman and how she should be written.

Yara, who do you think is stronger, Sanji or Zoro? Who would win if they fought each other?

"...Sanji definitely did not entice me with food to say that, either."

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

I have a great idea for where we could send Desmond next. We should send him to Yara (Far Cry 6). It’s tropical island where he could be a bartender and help out the rebels overthrow the dictator. He would love it there. What do you think?

Desmond would be in such a strange situation in this one. Yara would definitely not be welcoming to any foreigners, especially considering the current situation (unless we’re making this about Desmond getting reborn as a Yaran?).

He’d definitely be in everyone’s ‘watch list’, not just the government but even the rebels.

Desmond would probably either go full stealth mode and create a Brotherhood behind both the government and the rebels, serving as a third party to both the government and the rebels (although there’s an uneasy alliance with the rebels because of his Brotherhood’s secrecy) or he’s juggling two lives, one as a strange bartender who everyone has an eye on and as the secret mentor of a fledgling Brotherhood.

The second one is more risky but it does give the story the chance for Desmond to outsmart everyone by pretending to be just a normal ‘flirty’ bartender when, in reality, he’s been slowly making his own Brotherhood and setting up an intelligence network.

Gameplay-wise, Desmond could be the bartender who gives Dani daily quests to get materials or maybe even a new currency they can use for something else.

Desmond would act like a nice dude who can’t get out of Yara because, well, things are pretty tense at the moment so he’s making good with what he has.

In the shadows, there’s a secret organization that’s undermining the government, with its actions being pointed at the rebels.

And no one can find any connections between Desmond and the Brotherhood.

I hope Yara Katz lives a full life with Richard Macon and his 23.7 acres of loblolly pine

I'm hitting you with 5! I'm interested~

also 7 if you like ^^

5. Do you practice other styles/have you tried other styles in the past?

I don’t usually draw in other styles, but here’s a few I’ve done before

Warning for lots of eyes / scopophobia

The last one is a Philippine eagle design I did for a t-shirt printing project in class

7. Show us at least one picture you drew or sketched recently that you did not put on a public site.

Here’s an au where Ved stays with the Isle priests instead of in the Vault

And here’s a modern human au Yara where I was gonna make a graffiti wall but I only ever did a stylized writing of her name

Send me asks!

[dolxiba]

how does yara go about makin money?

dancing is one of her fave hobbies, and she likes darryl, so she spends a lot of time working at the club. she also works at the spa (max hand skill baby!!). giving handies is basically her full-time job, between happy endings and "private dances" and her confessor duties... ofc the monthly temple allowance helps too lol

Now I can’t stop thinking about Jaime Yara and Jason all together 😭 I feel like Yara and Jason argue all the time and try to tone it down around Jaime but they don’t even realize that Jaime loves it and actively instigates their fights all the time just to see them get mad

Anon, you're my one true love.

Thing is, Jaime gets them to fight over the dumbest shit. Who's the best dinosaur? The book or the movie? Is it possible to survive the Purge with no weapons?

How long would you last locked up in a room with a conservative pastor? Best Barbie movie? Mario or Luigi? Are ghosts real? Is New Jersey just a simulation?

Yara constantly accuses Jason of mansplaining when she's losing, and Jason simply suplexes her on the bed. Yara's go to tactic guaranteed debate victories is to choke him with her thighs

Jaime's always having the time of his life. I think he took the designated damsel in distress role.

his way of helping them with conflict solving is paying Tim to kidnap him so they work together. They're all unhinged just on different settings

I am extremely late to the fandom I know and I haven't even finished game of thrones yet but I freaking love Theon Greyjoy so much...felt like this was the place to talk about it..... I saw his entire arc in the show and my God it's so painful to watch him flounder and make blunders but at the same time..... Why wouldn't he?

The scene when his father receives the box and letter from Ramsay and basically disowns him but Yara's expressions shift from shock to horror then to anger and she decides to go rescue him It made me so damn happy OMFG.

Also your blog is a LIFESAVER

Ahhhh! Hello and welcome @girlypop-desi !! So happy you have found Theon Greyjoy! Welcome to the exquisite agony of being obsessed with Theon lol. Oh and yes! Yara’s decision to rescue him gave me such life!

I need to get my act together (busy and got very distracted by House of the Dragon lol) but we are hopefully going to have a Theon event (both show and book canon) in September run off the @theonsource blog if you are interested!

So excited to talk more Theon with you and thank you so much for the ask 🦑❤️

What was your inspiration for Yara? how did she come to be?

Oooh good question!! Yara, like the vast majority of my OCs, underwent a lot of tweaks and changes and development to the point I have her at right now, where I've got her story and personality and abilities and all that pretty tightly nailed down.

Her character concept started as Mihawk's daughter (I just thought he was EXTREMELY COOL the first time he showed up in the East Blue arc), since I have a thing with my OCs where they always end up being related to a canon character somehow (i.e. Circe Mackinnon (Soul Eater) being the half-sister of Franken Stein; Lilletz Lucilfer (HxH) being the younger sister of Chrollo; Haganezuka Minako (KnY) being the niece of Haganezuka Hotaru; Joey Armansky (Death Note) being the cousin of Mary Kenwood/Wedy; (Iryna Kovalenko (BnHA) fits this mould too but I haven't revealed who she's related to just yet heheh it's a bit of a doozy)). Funny enough, I initially envisioned her travelling with her father and perhaps encountering the Straw Hats at Baratie, so the whole abandonment plotline actually didn't come into play until later, when I decided to make her a Whitebeard Pirate after meeting Ace in the Alabasta arc and absolutely falling in love with him (which only grew as I learned more about him and the depth of his character).

Sometimes, the funny thing with OCs is that after a certain point, their stories just sort of begin to write themselves and all the pieces start to fit together in some really nice thematic ways. Yara and Ace's relationship developed as they found common ground with their resentment towards their fathers and both looking to Whitebeard as a surrogate father figure, which in turn developed Yara's internal struggles with her own identity (not knowing where she came from for the longest time and then even after finding out who her father is, dealing with the pain of being an unwanted and neglected child who grew up into an fiercely angry, yet profoundly lonely young woman). The more I thought about what Yara's early life must've been like, the more I could get a good grasp of who she is as a young adult, what her major plot beats are, and how those connect with the canon story.

Her relation to Wano and the Shimotsuki family (and Zoro, who became her second cousin on her mother's side) was a later addition, as I continued to learn more about the One Piece world and how she could potentially fit into each arc. Marineford and Wano were the two natural places where she would exist, so I've really tried to figure out her development in relation to those two arcs.

I hope that answers your question okay! I could really talk about Yara (or any of my OCs) all day heheh
