c. 1540 CE: a young man from Chalco, and his dragon.
#em draws stuff#em is posting about temeraire#temeraire#temeraire worldbuilding collection#⚬⚬⚬⚬⚬𐂂#<- tag for organizing when I'm drawing stuff that is temeraireVerse but not in the line of the plot of the books themselves#for school reasons I have been reading a lot about 14th-17th century mesoamerica#and thus am Interested in how that would have potentially played out in temeraireverse...#anyway! not sure if I'll draw these two again but I Have given the lad a day sign name (five deer) so I could Potentially. who can say.#haven't come up with a name for the dragon yet... maybe cipachcoatzin would work if can't think of anything else#<- Please Forgive My Dubious Command of Classical Nahuatl Grammar I Am But A Student#on that note zoomorphic interlace is not very much a style from this period/region but it helps me with composition things#five deer himself is mostly based on the illustration of the tlacuilo's son in the codex mendoza#the dragon is drawn more from a fusion of older scribal styles (ie. the codex borgia) and my own shorthands for dragon anatomy

i wonder how affected the mourn watch & emmrich were by the mage rebellion. i guess less than any other southern mages because they have the necropolis to run, which can’t be abandoned and strongly has the good will of the nobility, and also good fucking luck to the templar who tries to get at them in there. but at least politically/socially there must have been something. it’s robably because of how lax and (relatively) welcome it is, but nevarra was a centre for the circle of magi, it’s where the first enchanters used to gather for the college

5 and/or 14 for the Rook Story Time?
#14 for the ask game: attending a celebration.
[Addressed to the Fifth Talon, House de Riva]
Dear Viago,
I sincerely appreciated the chance to attend the inaugural gala of of the Grand Treviso Art Gallery. I know you regretted that you were out of the city while the Zampa Maestro’s latest works were revealed for the first time, and although you consider my taste in art to be considerably more gauche, I do look forward to discussing the works with you. Safe to say, they were a tasteful collection of watercolour landscapes that the merchant princes in attendance saw no need to criticize.
That said, I’d also like you to know that I was not at fault for the rumoured disturbance during the events of the evening. If you’re unaware, this involved a cask of red wine that had somehow found itself temporarily affixed to a chandelier over the head of the man who had the dubious distinction of being my least favourite attendee of the evening. He and his entire entourage were wearing white. In unrelated news, I do believe that the up-and-coming fashion designer who just started work with House Cantori now owes me a favour, which I thought you might appreciate being able to call on.
[The signature is a stamp with an abstract design]
#“a tasteful collection that nbdy criticized” = THEY WERE SO BORING VIAGO#ask game#rook story time prompts#magpie files#my writing#viago & rook#fake codex entry

just remembered that in 2022 I wrote a 7000 word analysis of Goncharov which I wanted to make a high effort shitpost out of but never actually did anything with
#literal codex entry#it was mainly me using Goncharov as a cover to talk about a collection of smaller art history things/ideas that I was keen to discuss#may end up reusing some of this one day after I De-Gonch the writing

The Guild Codex Comic Collection by Annette Marie & Ashley Zanardi - blurrypetals review
originally posted nov. 3, 2024 - ★★★★☆
I finally decided it was time for me to return to the Guild Codex series after 4 years away from it, and I figured there would be no better quick recap than this!
I think the art is pretty good. Although it is a bit stiff in some areas, I really think Zanardi captured my mental images of each character perfectly, even if her renderings weren't always so natural looking.
It was a little funny how it was just a bunch of 1- or 2-page comics, would have liked some that were a bit longer than that, but that doesn't bring the collection down that much. I'll definitely be checking out Zanardi's Webtoon series after this, see if her renderings have gotten a little more fluid.
That being said, this was a great time and definitely reminded me very well what I read of the series 4 years ago to set me up for success in finishing the final Spellbound book and finally moving on to Warped and Unveiled. I can't wait!

Every day I mourn the fact that none of my family and friends give a single shit abt oni lore, I don't wanna keep repeating shit I've already said before on here but every now and then I just remember the horrors™ and nearly explode not being able to scream abt it again
#rat rambles#oni posting#just everytime I think abt olivia's 1500 cycle onwards logs I want to start biting things#shes soooo fucked up and tragic and she doesnt get any closure and she never will and I LOVE it#I fucking love her so much she rewired my brain so hard shes like one of The blorbos of all time#damn you klei you rly know how to make characters that destroy me beyond repair (hi carter twins)#I still find it fun imagining olivia and jackie interacting with the dont starve cast even if they wouldn't like most of them#I have lightly changed my mind on one dynamic tho#I still think that jackie would be stressed out by all the kiddos and would at least dislike them. but.#I do think she could end up kind of getting along with walter#like look at me. she was probably just like him as a kid. she would hate him for it but they could also talk for hours.#hed start sharing fun facts abt his bug collection and jackie would start lecturing him abt ants or whatever and hed think shes so cool#I think olivia still wouldn't like him tho but that's purely because hed probably stress her out#same with the rest of the kiddos I think if you put webber in the room with the two of them theyd both have a breakdown#not because hes a spider solely because hes a little boy who probably just asked them if he can have icecream#and wendy and abby would just be a situation of them not knowing how to talk to kids let alone depressed kids#oh and theyd probably also be stressed out by wurt for basic they dont know how to deal with kids reasons#rly the two would just hang out with wickerbottom and no one else if they could help it#except wanda they'd bother her non stop to the point shed start avoiding them lol#you see Im sure plenty of the cast wouldnt like olivia and jackie either because of just how much they wouldn't take magic as an answer#not that theyd be like no that cant be real cause thatd be magic theyd more likely start sciencing out the mechanics of all the magic stuff#in practical terms while also refusing to call it magic#and worst of all knowing them theyd probably get results because fuck man they brute forced their way into time travel (sort of) so why not#so itd just be maxwell being soooo pissed as the two somehow manage to replicate his spells without the codex#dont let them meet wagstaff then itd rly be jover

I love writing character backgrounds like it’s a leetle historian writing in a book <3
#I love you codex entries I love you journals I love you hand written letters as being devices to show a characters background to people#without the character having to go on a long narrative exposition of their background#eyrie’s background is legit so much just collected information#bc you could not get them to sit and talk about themselves#even their background in their carrd and such is written with things omitted and altered#it’s based on facts and judgements and gives no context to some of their actions#like their working with the garleans is stated as such without a given reason bc they don’t talk about the reasons#getting them to talk about working with the garleans is like pulling teeth you aren’t getting the reason out of them#lesser know are their various children bc again. eyrie doesn’t talk about them#a biography style background just. clenches fists IT HITS#Owen plays ffxiv

Controversial opinion I'm sure, but I really don't like the way Yuki Kaji sounds while singing in Kuro's voice. Like I get being in character is the point of a character song, but like. It don't sound good 😶
#im actually kinda not a fan of h1ro sh1mono singing either. i can only listen to misono in his and mikuni's song.#i cant even listen to not fragile love. i do NOT like that song and i am SO sorry to lily for that.#all the sloth p@ir songs are mid at best too and i feel so bad for that cuz i used to LOVE crossing world and mahiru/takuma does#such a good job#tbh the whole collection really only shines with murase and suzuki. and as much as i LOVE kakihara. hes only in. one song right???#wait. i forgot matsuoka. but hes literally only in uninvited which is also a shame.#and even tho i dont like him. sakuya should have gotten a character song. it actually feels wrong that he didnt#BY THE WAY. SINCE NICCO GOT A VA WHERE IS THE GLUTTONY P@IR SONG?????#WHY DID THEY STOP DOING SONGS??? MAKE MORE!!!#THERE ARE SOME REAL GEMS HERE IM SURE WE COULD GET ANOTHER ONE OR TWO#I WANT SUWABE SINGING!!!! IVE ALREADY HEARD HIM AS GR1MMJ0W!!! HES GOOD AT IT!!!#wait. actually what i wanted to say was if you want more tsubaki songs then listen to old codex cuz holy shit mr. suzuki sir.#i will shill the fuck out of old codex. im so glad i gave his band a chance cuz deal with is a little too metal for me but not all their#stuff is like that and some of it makes me feel SO emotional#personal

are old codexes usually around $20? finding a lot of old t’au codexes on ebay for about that much and it’s very tempting
#warhammer 40000#t'au#tau empire#as i've said i don't really play 40k but i at least want the ones that introduced major changes to their lore#i know i've got a 4e codex somewhere. hopefully. so that's not one i'd be collecting.

So I read and finished the Poppy War trilogy by R.F. Kuang and it's just really good. I felt like sometimes some punches were pulled narratively, where I wouldn't expect it, but aside from that, a very enjoyable read

its like the 'how old is wynne actually' debacle all over again
it's very funny that the game and a lot of the fandom acts like emmrich is on deaths door as far as age goes but if you look up 'people in their 50s' the ones that come up are like. matt damon. paul rudd. gwen stefani.
his data mined info lists him at 50 do you know what that means. eminem is older than emmrich volkarin.
#Last i heard it was mid fifties for wynne?#Based off dates given in codex entries#Which have a habit of not being very accurate/consistant#But once again bioware proves that it can't conceive of middle aged people existing in their 'dark' fantasy rpg#AKA World's biggest collection of traumatized dating show candidates

holy fuck, usually the correct moral choice is always obvious in da games BUT FUCKING. TWO DRAGONS COMMANDED BY THE GODS...IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH TOWN YOU CHOOSE TO SAVE YOU LOSE.
#yes im sad about viper but i think minrathous can survive a venatori uprising rather than leaving the crows to deal with a fucking blight#its usually so easy#no sympathy for the templars the risk of blood magic is a sacrifice im willing to make for the safety of all mages#FUCK high town let the 1% burn with the chantry#BUT THIS??????#I COLLECT A BABY GRIFFON AND THEN YIU IMMEDIATELY GIVE ME THE WORST MORAL DILEMMA IN ANY DRAGON AGE GAME EVER???#I WAS SO HAPPY UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT VIPER#i might go back and change my mind but AHGGGGRGRGGV#that fight sucked ass my hands hurt noe#i cant believe my laptop kept up with a dragon fight but it cant handle venatori fights for some reason#i definitely think i preferred dai as far as game play goes but fuck this plot is so good#i do kinda wish our background worked a little differently but assam is adorable#i just wish it was actually more open world like dai was#but fuck im a sucker for the pantheon#especially since we might be getting more than just the elven gods now#i think i found a codex entry that gave more information about the maker and andraste than i saw in previous games#very catholic tbh i prefer my elven gods#da veilguard spoilers#ngl glad my red with the storm dragons is so good because uhhhhh ahaha neve hates me now#yeah im sad about viper#like...im devastated none of the crows matter that much to me other than lucanis#im ...so distraught

Chantilly! One of the main characters in Codex Xihuitl. He meets Quezal when she accidentally lights the Nightmare Lantern, bringing him and the Troupe to the Sarjo Desert. However unfortunate circumstances lead to a rather unorthodox way of continuing the Cycle of Death and Rebirth, causing a wrench in the Unending Song.
Shout out to one of my favorite ocs, I love them so much.
If you wanna learn more about her, well you gotta wait for me to update Codex djfkskfksk tho feel free to ask questions I don’t mind!
#hollow knight#my art#codex xihuitl#saturno’s collection#hollow knight oc#chantilly#no this is not Grimm yes he is *a* Grimm#i hc that every cycle is a different Grimm so while Chantilly is Grimm. They’re not Grimm ykwim?
