yayyy godwoken time

meet mael, a cool-headed necromancer who, for some reason, was chosen by one of the seven. he's also a blood mage, so if you cross him, expect to be destroyed by an ungodly hemorrhage, then turned into his corpse abomination soldier.

mael is of average size, and is the youngest one in his party (with fane, ifan, and beast). he wields his own staff called acistiar, a fancy rendering of the word 'assist'. i gave him 2 fits: one during dos2, after escaping fort joy (left) and the other post-dos2 (right). gray is his favorite color.

also i don't have any good in-game screenshots of him 😅

the reason why mael was thrown into that ship because he got into a fight with a group of magisters, so much for being cool-headed. he used source on one of them. the fight didn't last long when a magister got into his blind spot and slammed him down.

tags: mystic, scholar - gets along very well with fane and tarquin. sometimes they'll huddle around somewhere at the lady vengeance to talk about the arcane and anything beyond mundane. mael needed to convince fane at first, though

ROMANCE:

originally i was going for beast as mael's lover, because i think it'd be cute as hell, but holy cow how i underestimated ifan in the first few hours of my first playthrough. beast is still a good friend of mael 🫵

their first encounter was a bit awkward, with mael being wary around ifan. unfortunately he finds the older man quite attractive, which brings him into a category 5 bi panic. eventually they talked about their relationship at the undertavern, and they kissed. ^_^

i also thought of a scenario where the party was inside lord kemm's weird ass vault and they had the wedding rings, and i remember those who wear the rings can traverse through the vault without the creepy lucian bots jumping on them? anyways beast and fane purposefully declined to wear the rings, so its mael and ifan. mael decided to play along, put the ring on ifan's finger and was like, "i guess we're married now, huh?"

ifan: (please please please please please please please please pleas)

DOS2 fandom, show me your Godwoken? Tell me about your Godwoken? (For example:) Who are they? What is their damage? What do they look like? Are there any differences between their in-game model and how you imagine them? What is their fighting style? Who do they love and why? Anything else you'd like to share about them?

Everyone who sees this post, consider yourself invited. And feel free to tag your friends if you'd like.

@flower-khajiit, @divinityiswasted

Just do it. This is a threat.

a moment of silence for Cynotical :(

A moment of silence 😔

[cynicalmusings]

have u heard of this man???!?!?!?

hmm… no, don’t think so. never heard of him. he doesn’t really ring any bells.

[mimi-cee-genshin]

hi mimi!! i just wanted to say that ur writing is literally SO CUTE and ur fics?? all of them are so sweet and lovely and your portrayal of the characters r so on-point even though they are so smitten? like oh my goodness you are so good at writing them and ur writing style never fails to make me feel giddy hehe 💕 thank u for ur hard work!!

Ahhhhh!! Thank you so much!! I honestly get stuck sooo much trying to figure out how to keep certain characters in character and in love, but I both love and hate the challenge 😂. It's like... a problem-solving thing for me and it feels so good when I figure it out. Both Alhaitham and Cyno were all kind of hard for me to figure out at first. (I'm still having a hard time grasping Wanderer's character and yet he's the one I'm writing a series for. 💀)

I'm glad they made you feel giddy. Hehehe. It's definitely my favorite type of fic to read and to write. :D And thank you so much for taking the time to leave this ask for me!

@ataraxyystories - i feel like you have really neat bookshelves? you seem like the kind of person who would probably get really angry/sad if you found out that one of your books got damaged (even slightly) so you take care of them a lot :))

@ariespellz - you're very protective over the people you love? like you're very laid back but people know not to mess with you,,,which isn't a bad thing at all

@cynotical - SKSKSKS I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE CYNO 😭😭😭 idk i like seeing pages/blogs where someone is like really enthusiastic about a certain character and it was one of the reasons why i followed you 😭😭

happy emmrich frustrated snarl day to those who celebrate

hello mae!! hru today? :D

ASTER HEY YOU'RE BACK :D

i was on break from tumblr for a bit so sorry this is so late- but HEY HOW ARE YOU, im doing alright as of now 🥰

[cynicalmusings]

👀

so… do you guys remember that 700 followers event i did once which i only ever posted one request of?

well, i did start on a second request (and to be fair, it was going pretty well), but i stopped because of writer’s block as well as the fact that this was also when i was working on a chapter of my dark fairytale au, and they were quite similar in style, so i didn’t want too much overlap.

having said all that, here’s a snippet of what i got done:

——————————————————————

once upon a time…

there stood a castle on a hill. this castle was huge and grande, with tall, dark stone spires that seemed to pierce the very night with their pointed tips. deep red carpets lined the polished floors like velvet rivers, flowing with a colour not dissimilar to blood.

the interior of the castle was dark, each corner shrouded in shadow. a few golden-limbed chandeliers hung from the ceiling, on which candles burned and cast their dim light into flickering shadows on the walls. shapes seemed to move within the darkness, their forms twisting and changing in the crimson candlelight.

but this castle was no ordinary castle: it was hidden from the human eye, so that any soul who stumbled across the settlement would see that this castle was old and overgrown with weeds and vines; perhaps more akin to crumbling ruins than a once-royal residency, with only a few lingering traces of its former grace remaining in the towers of cobbled stone that rose above the treetops of the dense woodland and the tall, arched windows of stained glass long faded into the diluted remnants of vibrant colours, their shattered shards littering the uneven cobbled floors, and they would not think to even come close, as if the very idea of doing so was stolen away from their thoughts.

and in this castle lived a man— but be not mistaken, this was no ordinary man as we may know him, for he was one of the night-walkers; those who roam the shadows and hide from the light; or, as you may better know them, vampires.

he spent his days in solitude, hunting by night and wandering the castle by day, the spiders that spun their webs on the walls his only companions. however, he was content with this un-life, for nobody would bother him, and he could pass his days undisturbed by those who would wish to do him harm. as long as humans did not bother him, he would not bother them; such was his mentality, and he saw no need to leave his abode for any reasons other than food, nor expressed any desire to find such other reasons.

however, as one should know, often a person does not find a reason, but a reason finds a person.

——————————————————————

you know… i think this was actually @cynotical’s request with a vampire + little mermaid au, so…. sorry about that…
