wait, so who all knows about forge’s split & stuff? can he still choose to split, or no? if so, how often does he utilize the ability?

At the beginning of the comic?? No one. Though, Collector has his suspicions. Mask also has suspicions, but those are unrelated to splitting. The “I didn’t get a purple one” comic is set at some ambiguous point in the future. Forge can split at will, and while the colors can work together just fine, he prefers not to use the four sword’s powers too much. He has a complicated (if dependent) relationship with the four sword, and he won’t bring it up unprompted, but if he really needs to use its abilities, he won’t hesitate to reveal them.

He also keeps a very firm “no touching” rule with his sword around the other heroes, but it doesn’t bring too much attention since he’s not the only one who forbids an item of theirs being touched.

I’m a really big fan of mask because my favorite game is majoris mask so could you please Draw him some

Yes of course!

Mask might be in his edgy teenager phase, but he’s still pretty dang cool.

A few notes on Mask:

Is legally required to be friends with his Zelda

Spends most of his time at Lon Lon Ranch

Has had the same hairstyle since he was a kid

Still has the masks and very much respects them

Alternates between the biggoron sword and the gilded sword in combat, depending on the situation

He lost his eye sometime after the events of Majora’s Mask

Knows very few dances, but Kamaro’s dance is definitely one of them

🖋 Tank please >:))c

Tank.

The guy who is a “massive alcoholic” got a private education, lives in a mansion alone, and has enough money to be at the bar all day. No, he’s not in debt at all, not even on his tab. In fact, whenever he leave the bar, his table is spotless.

He does have a job, if not a hobby on the side. On the guild’s days off he’s never around. And if he is it’s only because Enid’s around. Why did he even become an adventurer when he’s literally all set and claims to hate it anyway 🤨? Why’s he hang out with Enid too.

The “Monk” who knows how to pick locks, end a fight instantly, and has the mouth of a sailor. In fact, Enid’s a little too familiar with sailors and can differentiate pirate gangs.

Drunk who seems too good to be true and Monk who seems a little insidious… Something is wrong with the both of them and they always hide what. But maybe that’s why they like each other. ⭐️

🖊 hi. tell me abt your eo5 ocs

OKAY!!! YAY!!!

I don't talk about them much and admittedly think about them even less because they exist in a vastly different time and space from all of my other etrian ocs, so I will say that a significant portion of the information I am about to give you is more or less made up on the spot. Without further ado

Here's the main guild. I'm just gonna rattle off a few fact about all of them:

Berry

The guild's Earthlain Dragoon/Cannon Bearer

Her uncle Terry (who you may remember as the temporary Fencer from the first mission in the EO5 liveblog I swear I'll get back to one of these days) works as a mercenary, and in headcanon acts as the replacement for Hansuke the Informant in the Twilight Tavern

Goes fishing to relieve stress

Oftentimes fishing just makes her more stressed

Aurora

The guild's Therian Fencer/Chain Duelist

Has albinism

At a young age, she was abandoned by her parents who thought her to be some sort of demon

Was found and taken in by members of a settlement near the Tower of Sorcery, where she would learn how to perform elemental swordplay

Denica

The guild's Rover/Hunting Hound

The face of my internet presence most anywhere else

In-game she uses bows but in headcanon she uses guns because it's fuckin cool!!

Ran away from home with her dog, Hero, to worked with Eleanor as a vagabond and bandit

Used to be able to ride on Hero's back when she was smaller

Chloe

The half-Earthlain, half-Celestrian Botanist/Graced Poisoner of the guild

Her magical capabilities are ill-developed. Can conjure fire about as well as a cheap lighter

Makes up for her lack of magic skill through her decent knowledge of plants and medocine

Unfortunately her remedies taste positively atrocious

Eleanor

The Brouni Rover/Flying Falcon of the guild

Has made a living as a roaming bandit for at least 10 years

Has stolen at least 10,000en worth of goods from the Iorys Marketplace alone

If she can't steal from a shop, she haggles like her life depends on it

Syrik's worst nightmare

[lepospondyl]

any ocs youre particularly find of? 👀

IM SO SORRY ITS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE YOU SENT THIS ASK but i finally have the motivation to actually talk about some of my ocs. ive been rotating some eo5 ocs in my head for a while now and am slowly figuring out how to actually write them. veshal is toxic yuri because venn (blade master masurao) would do literally anything for ashal (cannon dragoon) except for allow her to continue her religious duties while ashal unknowingly takes advantage of venn's bending over backwards for her to an unhealthy degree to cope with the fact that she'll most likely never be welcome in her hometown ever again (or at least as long as shes still in a relationship with venn). if nothing changes eventually theyll intertwine so closely that they destroy each other completely and utterly like binary stars going supernova. northeron is toxic yuri because northe (phantom duelist fencer) and vijay heron (omnimancer warlock) hit each other with folding chairs for fun

someone needed to slap me in the face and spit in my eyes four months ago and scream. “being in a musical is the worst idea for yourself that you could’ve come up with! ever!”

From the river to the sea

hey all! firstgrave here

I was somewhat recently banned on tumblr for “targeted harassment”. the post that got me banned? a post in which I said Israeli settlers and former IDF soldiers had actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. 

I attempted to appeal the ban but have gotten nowhere, and I do see this as the final reason in why I should stay away from tumblr as a whole. I am no longer interested in coming back to tumblr, and will be making no future efforts to do so.

however, some important updates I want to give: many people whom I was mutuals with were there for my entire law school journey, the passing of the bar, and my entrance into the career of public defender. this is something I’ve been dreaming of and working towards for years now. 

in october, the union which represents the office of public defenders I work with, and the majority of public defenders in NY entirely, proposed a resolution on the genocide in Palestine, reinforcing the rights of union members to speak out against apartheid and ethnic cleansing and calling for an end to Israeli occupation. in response, four Zionist members of the union have commenced a lawsuit in attempt to get an injunction against the union members voting on the resolution. the union has now filed a motion to move the case to federal court, thus removing it from the jurisdiction of conservative Long Island state court judges, but also to have the action deemed as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. 

since the lawsuit was filed, a supervisor at my office has cursed out myself and the 8 new attorneys I was hired with, telling us to “get the fuck” out of her office if we don’t support Israel, and we do not deserve to work there if we do not agree with her. so now we are also in the process of filing a union grievance and EOC claim against the supervisor. this has put us at significant odds against management and we may very well lose our jobs over this (we are at-will employees for the first 3 years of our contract, so while discriminatory firings are illegal, it would be near impossible to prove in this instance.) I am likely to lose my dream job that I have worked years to reach over this. 

The attempts to silence any and all people who speak out against the atrocities being committed with our tax funding cannot be ignored. When we look back at the atrocities of history and wonder how they were allowed to occur, it is because many people feel more comfortable turning a blind eye to the suffering of those “other” to them, and those that do care are faced with coordinated censorship campaigns armed with threats of loss of employment, homelessness, incarceration, violence, and even death. 

In the time all of this has occurred, thousands of men, women, and children have been senselessly and brutally massacred by Israeli forces, aided by other world powers. The US is actively and happily funding the genocide of Palestinians, as well as Britain, Canada, and other imperial nations. Babies have been abandoned and denied humanitarian aid, cities have been leveled, and families have been devastated. 

Attached here is the proposed resolution of the legal aid union. I stand by it wholeheartedly, and ask others to share it as well. There is no excuse for silence or complacency in the face of genocide. Those who are not in Palestine, have not witnessed and experienced the horrors in which every Palestinian citizen has been forced to endure, do not get the benefit of turning a blind eye. 

May we see a free Palestine in our lifetimes.

Okok RAM thoughts

Someone at the hotel asked Vox to replace one (1) broken cable in the TV set they have. Vox gets the broken cable out and then promptly forgets what he was doing and takes the whole thing apart. No one can figure out how to put it back together and Vox is nowhere to be found. Nifty ends up throwing the "mess" away. Alastor is the only one who is not upset at losing the TV (Vox will whine about it later and then insists it's not his fault that it's gone)

Alternatively: they forget to unplug it and Vox immediately gets electrocuted when he puts his hand into the wires. Everyone else is shocked but he just gets back up saying "Tasty" and goes right back to work on it (it's still not unplugged)

-eoc

Charlie tries to very gently explain to Vox that she’s disappointed that they don’t have a TV anymore. She’s not disappointed in him, he did his best!!!! but they really needed that TV. However, regardless of how nice she is about it, this immediately sets off Vox’s latent RSD and people-pleasing, and the next time she sees him, he’s stolen a whole ass 85-inch flatscreen for the hotel. She tries to tell him that she really appreciates the effort, but that stealing is kinda, sorta against the rules of the hotel, but he’s already forgotten that he stole it and doesn’t understand why he’s getting this lecture. Vaggie tells her to just throw in the towel and send money to whatever store he took it from.

For the second one, I’m not sure Vox is capable of being electrocuted, but that mental image is hilarious. I’m picturing him working on it, electricity coursing through his body, as he cheerfully tells Angel Dust about how this is just like that time he was electrocuted to death at his old job! Angel does not want to be hearing about this; Vox already makes him super uncomfortable and hearing him talk so openly about his death (a sort of taboo in Hell) just feels wrong. Why did Vaggie have to choose him for Vox-monitoring duty today?

[wof-inbox]

alright guys, I’m turning off asks for a while :( I, getting overwhelmed by the 86 asks in my ask box, and I don’t know where to start, so to stop myself from from actually freaking out over this. I have to turn them off. I’ll most likely turn them back on when I get to a lower number of asks in the ask box, such as 40-30. I have a Civics EOC today and an Algebra EOC on the 20th, which I am quite scared for. I will try my best to answer asks!

And if any have an ask that you want answered, but can’t because, you know, you should try to draw it yourself! I don’t care if you have no artistic talent or can paint the Mona Lisa, just try! I would love to see it!

BROZONES SISTER: sticks

heres some info on the sister, i named her sticks, also the drawings are lazy cause I'm tired ad EOCs start tommrow.

go ahead and ask any questions you have

[echoes-of-courage]

what’s artisan’s relation with ravio? are they buddies? pals? begrudging customer and con artist merchant? And where is ravio in terms of echoes of courage? Is he in artisan’s house?

After the events of A Link Between Worlds, the rifts between Hyrule and Lorule closed, and Artisan hasn’t seen Ravio since then. Sure, he was annoying for a bit, what with the house-stealing and his renting policies, but Ravio became a dear friend and reliable presence during Artisan’s journey. He hasn’t had the opportunity to really reflect on what Ravio means to him now, after everything is said and done, but he keeps Ravio’s now-dormant bracelet on out of fondness and nostalgia. They could’ve been…. well, at this point, who knows? It’s a missed opportunity, but Artisan has never been one to wallow over the past.

Every Link has a reason to go through portals like the one that showed up in the prologue. While Artisan did partially step through because of moral obligation and familiarity with portals, there may be a spark of hope that he’ll get to see his old friend.

That being said, Commander did meet Ravio during the war but never saw his face. Like with most visitors across time and space, though, Commander heard plenty about this strange merchant’s hero, his golden reflection.

WHO IS EOC? i am very curious now!!!

>:) okay SO

tumblr picture formatting is utter garbage and i dont want these to take up too much space so im cramming these drawings into one row (or not if this crapsite breaks on me, because it seems to be REALLY fighting me on this, so if it ends up not making a nice little picture row know that i tried my best). but this is effigy of composure!

he has a couple problems, but the big one is that his superstructure has a terrible parasite situation. the parasites are flat, thin, and able to make it into grooves and pipes the inspectors cant reach. flushing out doesnt do much to dislodge them and they breed faster than they can be killed, so theyve happily made their homes in this sheltered, food-rich haven (to the obvious distress and horror of the host iterator). originally the concept for these parasites were much closer to centipedes and had the placeholder name "synapcipedes," but ive since started leaning more towards an obvious tapeworm motif for them because its gross and i enjoy it morbidly. it also has some pretty cursed implications if you think about it for too long which i have decided are funny/really disgusting/so stupid that they have to stay. i still flipflop between considering them centipedes vs tapeworms though and i dont think thatll ever be rigidly defined. the ambiguity is nice to toy with

on the top 10 list of "things that are not fun" having turbo worms has to be somewhere up there, so eoc has it *rough,* and kind of sort of eventually barrels off into the deep end because of it. his futile attempts to clean his own structure are frustrating enough, and the constant feeling of bugs crawling all over the inside of his body (which only gets progressively worse with time) does no favors either. however, the real big reason why he mentally declines is just because there's a ton of centi-worm things eating like fire through his neurons and other what-have-yous that iterators need to think and function. i think if he only got hit with one of these 3 things then he might have been able to hang onto his sanity, but with the triple combo he doesn't really stand a chance of doing much except stalling his functional death. which is good on him because if i was an iterator and my overseers told me i had a structure infestation, my mental health would have just preemptively swan dived off a bridge before anything even happened

anyhow, exponential parasite population growth meant exponential increase in all this other fun stuff, which means the time from the beginning of the infection to the time eoc is considered officially gone is startlingly short (for iterators, at least). it still took quite the while because losing your marbles is a loonnnng process, but still, yikes. its unfortunate because eoc was a real jokester pre-everything, and a cool guy to talk to. he was one of those people who could come up witty comments for anything like hed been ripped from the script of a sitcom. oh yeah, also, should have mentioned this earlier, but he ends up accidentally amassing a scavenger cult mid-insanity which goes hilariously bad because he's barely aware it's happening. nothing really works out for this poor iterator.

tldr: eoc gets parasites, they erode his brain, he goes nuts about it, (accidentally amasses a cult,) dies

Do you have more art for the Collector ? Those were my favorite games, so I'm always looking for more of that.

Yes! Well actually I had to draw these just now, but enjoy!!

About his accessories: Collector’s Zelda gave him the cloak as a joke after he came back from his overseas travels, and he can’t bring himself to throw it out, so he only wears it rarely. His feathers are the roc’s feathers he comes across, and among his jewelry are, naturally, a strength bracelet and a moon pearl.

🖊 + El for the OC gushing ask game !

ELLL!!!!

(below the cut)

There’s a bit of a joke with her. I had made her when EO untold came out. I loved Highlander I named him Elisah (pronounce El-lie-sah), but one thing that saddened 11 y/o me back then was that….. There wasn’t a female protagonist option. So I made a woman highlander, El. Funny he got the feminine name and she got the masculine one. El is Elisah’s younger cousin, who dreams of being a hero like him.

Little does she know at first, she surpassed him and just needs to kill a god for herself to understand.

I drew her in a LOT of comics when I was that age. In the comics, El was the easily irritable voice of reason. Now, she has a softer side outside the labyrinth. The biggest twist about her is that when not exploring she likes to wear cottagecore clothing despite having huge muscles, she doesn’t often like to show them off like. Someone else. (ALOPE)

Yes, she works out. And she’s big. But she likes little things. Clothes and stuff. She’s just a girl who is bad at expressing herself with words (way too blunt), so she shows her softer side in her fashion and often… she likes to change things up when she feels as if they’re stale. Vs the rest of the guild who clings onto familiarity. Hence this

joke (still in character). Though she IS the most likely to retire and wander after the plot finishes. She just likes new experiences, despite how 😐 she may seem, they unlock new sensory things for her. And that is her priority.
