October 2023, Day 9: Dream

Bit of a worldbuilding sketch for a minor warrior cats setting I've been toying with. StarClan has fallen, quite literally, and dead cats have been hurtling back to life as meteors. On impact, they create a zone of starspawn, a dream-like warping of the area, which is roughly what's happening. The starspawn has affected not just the environment, but the animals within it, creating eldritch horrors and amalgamations from the mundane.

“What surrounds us we endure better for giving it a name – and moving on.” ~ Emil Cioran

Lucian Robert Doyle

Nicknames: Lucky (absolutely what he always uses because he fully believes his first name is the worst one possible for a werewolf but it's a family name so he's stuck with that)

Magic Status: Werewolf (born and out) & cursed (not public knowledge)

Nationality: American

Ethnicity: White

Accent: Southern, specifically Tennessean inland.

Height: 5′11"

Build: Athletic but pretty average.

Complexion: A bit tanned naturally, gets lighter in the winter when he's not outside all the time.

Eye Color: Hazel

Hair Color/Length/Style: Dark brown/chestnut, wavy and messy, perpetually messy in fact. Stays a little short but is thick so styling is really just a concept rather than accomplished. Annoyingly fluffy after it dries.

Tattoos: Homemade linework bumblebee on his left wrist done by Angel when they were dating and a sparrow skull outline on his right for his ex-fiance back home, West. Black and white stylized mountain tattoo on his right shoulder, with coordinate numbers that match his hometown. Sound wave tattoo on his left forearm from a very important song. Black and white leaves and thorns along the back of his neck- it's a common design with his pack.

Piercings: At one point he had a septum piecing but he hasn't worn that in a few years. Has two cartilage piercings in each ear.

Daily Jewelry: Wears either black or gold studs in his ears, and a gold ring in a woven thorns design on a chain around his neck. (apparently enchanted since he never seems to lose it even during shifts)

What would you find if you Googled them? 

Practically everything. He was backup singer, guitarist, and eventually front man to the now broken band South of Midnight; so his personal info isn't all that personal. You could hit that up on practically a dozen old fan sites or even the band wiki if you wanted.

This also means his outing as a werewolf is public knowledge as well, since it happened at a concert. All of this was roughly around 2017-2021. Since then though the last note of public information online was that he practically disappeared.

He does have a Twitter and Insta account now, but it's separate from his old ones and just something he uses on occasion because he knows a few of his extended family still check on him through it rather than contact him.

His curse is not publicly known.

What natives would know about them?

Not much the general public doesn't know, since he's not been in town long. The Magicks who can sense that sort of thing would know he's a werewolf, even if they didn't have knowledge of his music career.

Works at The Court of Miracles as a bartender, musician and occasionally sings.

Manager at Swynlake Cinema. (Business info here)

Other:

He seems friendly enough, but due to his curse he has a strange air about him, and honestly little things always seem to be going wrong for other people whenever he's around. (Bad luck affliction on other people, his own luck always increasingly better in comparison - this is widely up the other mun the degree of effects but nothing too widespread or destructive.)

His wolf form has a solid grey coat without any markings other than some darker tones at the ends of his limbs and along his shoulder scruff.

What if I could go to sleep for days?

Would you count the hours?

Or would your restlessness consume

Fading memories of me

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

he thinks he's being so smooth with his little face on my leg. i SEE you, villain

most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get into some media almost none of your followers know about or have engaged with in any form so you can make long untagged posts complaining about peoples bad takes to an audience of 3 total people. second most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get obsessed with some ugly guy from said media and start posting about him with captions such as "so cuties forever 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖" so your mutuals can give you a polite golf clap like while attempting to withhold their mildly scathing judgement

Some not so serious doodles about the idea where Silco survived and Warwrick!Vander found him. I did these as fanservice for ME! Especially the clothes thing

(have fun trying to figure out the reading order of the third sketch dump)

Bruce and Tim’s autistic asses have never made eye contact with each other in their lives

Like an interviewer comments lightly on his habit of adopting kids with black hair and blue eyes and he says, absent-mindedly, “Tim doesn’t have blue eyes,” to which the interviewer answers, with great confusion, that he most certainly does, and Bruce suddenly realizes he has never once looked at Tim’s eyes without the domino on and had just sort of assumed they were brown, statistically

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers

you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.

AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character

see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.

mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.
