Third @bonus-links Fanart >:) !!

I had to honour my love of Warrior in Bonus link and wouldn't you know, I ended up doing two versions. I juste couldn't help but draw him being all fancy...

As always pretty face under the cut

Tried to do a heavier makeup look on the party fit but eh... The light is too strong on his face, can't really see it well

SCRIPT: *Gabrielle kisses a male character*

RENEE: "Nope, rewrite it. Gabrielle is not doing that. Gabrielle wouldn't kiss a male character at this point in the show."

SCRIPT: *Gabrielle kisses a female character*

RENEE: "Look, that's certainly consistent with Gabrielle's character at this point in the show but why would she kiss some random woman she's just met?"

SCRIPT: *Gabrielle kisses Xena*

RENEE: "Oh fantastic! This is absolutely something Gabrielle would do. Finally me and Lucy get to smooch. Bring it on!"

It honestly floors me that the only time Gabrielle had a proper kiss scene past seasons 1&2 it was with Xena because that’s the only one Renee allowed to happen.

[bonus-links]

I don't know if this has ever been asked so here goes:

what's your preferred link/the one you like to draw the most??

i love all my links equally but also,,,,,loft and war (who isn't in the comic yet) are my favorites :-). speaking of which I updated his outfit recently and have much more fun drawing it now :D

[loafbud-wc]

Curlfeather! She's one of my new favorite characters after reading the recent book, Thunder

[lagomorphpaw]

wow! lagomorphpaw.tungle.net drew po3! next up: fork reportedly found in kitchen!

design notes under the cut

all three designs were inspired by this old drawing i did of them. :o)

hollyleaf: general "wolf" shape and silhouette; her coat was colorpicked from my leafpool design's fur and then toned down. red undereye as a nod to the last hollyleaf design i did a few years ago, and colorpicked from my squirrelflight design. blue-toned shadows in honor of wayne macloughlin's hollyleaf design.

lionblaze: "firey" tufts of fur around his head. shares leafpool and jayfeather's stripe pattern. covered in scars post-TLH and his anime cat bangs thinned out with age. his design actually hasn't changed much from the last time i drew him other than some spruced-up stripe patterns

jayfeather: grew his hair out post-holly's death + began wearing a holly leaf in her honor. brown nose (colorpicked from leafpool) + tones once again in honor of wayne macloughlin's art. also inspired from moonkitti's "i spoil" sprite + his official warriors wiki sprite.

hollyleaf's design i picture as how she looked in omen of the stars pre-death (so i guess the design she would keep in starclan) while lionblaze's and jayfeather's are intended as more modern-era wc designs

[lionpawsdiary]

Lionpaw! Any hopes for your full name?

[kholnt]

to me time is like a light switch and his two modes are "calm and collected father figure" (time mode) and "will chew off your ankles and curse you out while hes at it but its all a display of affection" (mask mode)

there is one (1) person that can flip that switch and its warriors

Dani x Jason Prompt

(Because i dont see enough of these two together. Also, this is another prompt i found in my fic files that i never did anything with.)

While Danny is in Amity Park protecting the ghost portal, Dani explores the world. Danny might be powerful enough to put down any threat, even Ancients, but she isn't as lucky. Her best defense against Vlad or the GIW is to never be in the same place two days in a row. Not to say she isn't powerful in her own right - she's yet to meet a ghost in her travels that she couldn't utterly crush, and even if she had, she's got the most loyal dog in both this world and the next to have her six.

Dani has discovered a great deal of beauty throughout the world in her few short years of life, but also unfathomable evil and undescribable corruption. She does what she can in every place she passes through, her ghost powers the ultimate cheat code for investigation and subterfuge, bringing to light the things that once hid in the dark.

But while scoping out yet another child trafficking ring, she crosses paths with a spirit of vengeance. At least, that's the only explanation she can come up with for how he's able to turn his shock and horror into pure rage at the flip of a dime.

Until she realizes that he's a baby halfa. If he doesn't learn how to mediate his emotions, he's going to burn out one of his halves.

Maybe she can help him stabilize into a proper spirit of justice and keep him from following the path that Vlad went down - oh shit, he doesn't even know that he's undead. Well, this is going to be a project and a half. But Dani is nothing if not resourceful - she's more than willing to put in the work if it means making an ally of the fourth known halfa.

Featuring:

Dani and jason are about the same age (16-17ish)

They run into each other during jason's LoA-sponsored world tour, investigating the same trafficking ring

Cujo is there too

Dani totally helps with the crime lord grand plan, but also wrestles jason down from the more messed up family drama stuff he did, like attacking tim, and knocks some sense into him and finds a better solution for dealing with the joker

Popping in here to appreciate everything about your Legend and his incredible writing. I'm afab nonbinary and suffer from body dysphoria so seeing a character with a really similar body but no less of a man for it is extremely validating and nice to read. Thank you. Have a good day, take care of yourselves ^_^

Thank you for the kind words, anon! Wishing you all of the euphoria ever 💛🤍💜🖤

-Kio & Mizu 🧡🩵

Bonus thing that Kio had to stop working on the original art to draw IMMEDIATELY:

Legend (he/him), Warriors (he/she/they), and Ravio (he/him) are from ASAU! Please don't tag any other AUs!

im sure Eklutna will be okay. she will be so okay she will immediately take her newborns to the Crude Oil Moonpool and baptise them like god intended.

better yet, she will insist on giving birth by the pool, since its the closest way of interacting with StarClan. and they will help her. surely it will end well.

(pls dont let your cats give birth and dip their infants in crude oil.)

You're so right. Eklutna CAN'T die. She has PLANS.

If she dies who's gonna put her kids in the world's most dangerous dunk tank??? Also, yes, she HAS visited the Black Water Pool for a blessing, and yes, the healers were pissed, but they just don't understand. They don't understand that she is Starclan's special little girl.

(P.S. thank you for including your own disclaimer. Wonderful.)

Yes. Eklutna. All the time. She was one of the cats who first discovered it, then after getting into a fight with the rest of Ghostclan over whether or not they should tell the other clans about the Black Water Pool she limped her bleeding ass there to give herself a blessing before she continued up the mountain to Loudclan. Now she's taken a dip while pregnant to get Starclan to bless her unborn kits, which is a BIG taboo. But what are the healers to do? How do you punish someone for participating too enthusiastically in your state sponsored religion? She's not the only one to ever do it, of course, she's just kinda the most egregious about it.

‘When In Rome’ doesn’t seem all that important of an episode at first. But then you realize Xena basically commissioned Gabrielle to kill Crassus. It’s painful cause you know Gabrielle is a person that genuinely does appreciate human life and won’t kill just for the sake of it. If it can be avoided, she will avoid it. Yet, she’s forced to decide time and time again for what to do in the heat of the moment and the conclusion seems to always be for somebody to die. Whether it be herself, Xena or other, and sometimes even at her own hand. She said she accepted the consequences of living her life with Xena early in their travels together, but I don’t think she accounted for the fact she’d have to kill just to keep her and Xena alive. Or, like in the case of this episode, to save Vercinix, a good, innocent man and a hero to his people, from being executed at the order of Caesar. It wasn’t just about sacrificing her own life, it was also sacrificing and betraying everything she stood for so that her and Xena could survive. Season 4 was the storyline for this. Choosing pacifism because she believed it was the right Way for her, then breaking it again when Xena was left vulnerable and defenceless and she had no other option but to make that split-second decision to kill those soldiers that were going to kill her. It was inevitable the way she’d end up. Whether it is a good thing or not is up to you and how you perceive the situations that happen within the episodes. Your better judgement.

This is the life Gabrielle chose. To experience and face all the violence, blood and pain again and again, being just as much a partaker in it as trying to stop it from happening… Just to be with Xena. That’s got to be the most tragically romantic, beautiful and powerful thing I’ve ever known. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Xena and Gabrielle truly are the greatest love story ever told, and I’m not just saying it because they’re my OTP. I’ll be damned if I ever find anything more romantic than Gabrielle’s insistence to throw away her morality for Xena. She’s going against her own sense of self time and again just to protect and defend people’s lives. Especially Xena’s. It’s a testament to how much and how deeply she really loves her and that’s so incredibly romantic. Wouldn’t you agree?

This is another episode where no one really cares about the Xena/Caesar fued. This episode belongs to Gabrielle and her struggle to betray her ideals by personally sending Crassus to the executioner. Commissioned and expected to by Xena, no less.

She's the heart of the whole story here. It all wraps tightly around her.

Just like 'The Deliverer', without what's going on with Gabrielle, it's just another cat-and-mouse Xena VS Caesar game and even though I love the Rome episodes, they're not as interesting as you think they are without Gabrielle’s stuff. And as great as all the other writers are with Gabrielle’s representation and development, only Steven truly gets what Gabrielle’s about. Him and Renee really make this show resonate far beyond a villain-turned-hero seeking redemption story.

Without Gabrielle - this show is half its watch value. Well and truly.
