A/N: hope this is okay anon! <3 Pairing: Kurt Wagner x gn!reader Tags: fluff, reader-insert, pining, sfw
Geheime Blüte
Tumblr media
The scent of damp earth and blooming orchids hung heavy in the air as you straightened the last potted fern in the X-Mansion's greenhouse. The last student had shuffled out minutes ago, leaving you to the calming symphony of rustling leaves and the gentle hum of the climate control system. Just as you were about to head inside, a deafening crack of thunder split the sky. You flinched, peering out at the rapidly darkening world beyond the glass. Fat raindrops lashed against the dome, blurring the once-vibrant landscape.
"Looks like we're in for a downpour," you muttered, a wry smile curling your lips. You weren't one to shy away from a little rain, but the thought of being trapped in the greenhouse for an extended period wasn't exactly thrilling.
As you debated whether to brave the storm or settle in for a book, the greenhouse door creaked open. Kurt Wagner, better known as Nightcrawler, stood framed against the onslaught of rain, a sheepish grin plastered on his face. Water dripped from his fur in rivulets, clinging to his pointed ears like glistening jewels.
"Seems I missed the exit," he rumbled, his voice laced with a nervous tremor you found strangely endearing.
You gestured towards a nearby bench, strategically positioned beneath a cascading curtain of wisteria. "Look what the cat dragged in... hey," you smiled, loosening your apron abit that had gotten dirty from the soil.
He chuckled, a low sound that sent a shiver down your spine. You weren't sure when you'd begun noticing the way his yellow eyes seemed to linger on you a beat too long, or how his smile always seemed a little wider when you were around.
Settling onto the bench, the sweet scent of wisteria mingled with the earthy musk of Kurt's fur. The rain intensified, the drumming on the greenhouse roof a steady counterpoint to the silence that had fallen between you.
"This place," Kurt began, his voice barely a whisper, "it feels... different with you here."
You met his gaze, your heart hammering against your ribs. "Different how?"
He took a step closer, the air around you crackling with unspoken tension. "Like it's finally found its missing piece," he murmured, his eyes searching yours. Heat flooded your cheeks. You'd never admitted it to yourself, but you felt a similar pull towards Kurt. His gruff exterior hid a surprising gentleness, a kind of kindness that resonated deep within you.
Perhaps it was that connection, or maybe the way your powers manifested, but you couldn't help but notice how vibrant the greenhouse seemed with you in it. Your hair, usually a simple (hair color), shimmered with an almost iridescent sheen, and the faint green glow that emanated from your fingertips seemed to enhance the colors of the surrounding flowers. You were a living part of the greenhouse itself, a beautiful anomaly amidst the thriving greenery.
"Kurt," you began, your voice barely a whisper, "I—"
Before you could respond, a particularly loud clap of thunder boomed overhead, the greenhouse shuddering slightly. You both jumped, startled from your budding confession.
An awkward silence followed, punctuated only by the rhythmic drumming of the rain. Stealing a glance at Kurt, you found his gaze fixed on you, a flicker of something intense dancing in his golden eyes.
The greenhouse, once a peaceful haven, now thrummed with a raw, primal energy. The sound of the rain became a distant white noise, replaced by the frantic pounding of your heart.
As the tension stretched, a mischievous glint sparked in your eyes. "Looks like we're properly stuck, then," you said, a playful smile tugging at your lips. "Unless you have a way to teleport us out of this rain shower?"
He chuckled, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "I don't know, Liebling... I think I rather like it in here," he admitted, his voice a low rumble.
A beat of playful silence followed. "Well, then," you said, leaning back against the bench, "I guess we'd better make the most of it, wouldn't we?"
He raised an eyebrow, a slow smile spreading across his blue face. The rain-washed world shimmered outside the glass, and within the greenhouse, a different kind of storm was beginning to brew.
Suddenly, Kurt knelt beside a rose bush, its crimson blossom the only splash of color amidst the verdant foliage. With a swift movement, he plucked the rose, its velvety petals glistening with the dew of the sprinkler system. He stood, extending the rose towards you, his golden eyes enamored by the rose's deep red.
"You remind me of this rose," he said, his voice husky. "Beautiful, strong, and unlike anything I've ever seen before."
You felt your cheeks flush, the rose a perfect reflection of your own blush.
His words hung in the air, thick with unspoken desire. You met his gaze, the intensity within it sending a jolt through your entire being. The rose felt heavy in your hand, a symbol of the blossoming feelings blooming between you.
Before you could respond, Kurt took a step forward, his blue fur almost luminous in the filtered light of the greenhouse. With a gentle pressure, he backed you against a nearby table, his spectacular eyes never leaving yours. A nervous laugh escaped your lips, the sound swallowed by the steady drumming of the rain on the roof.
Suddenly, a soft brush against your cheek sent shivers down your spine. You flinched, then gasped slightly as you realized it was the tip of Kurt's tail, hesitantly tracing a path down your cheekbone. The unexpected caress sent a rush of heat through your body, leaving you breathless.
Kurt’s touch felt surprisingly light and delicate, a stark contrast to his imposing figure. His eyes held a tenderness you hadn't seen before, a vulnerability that mirrored your own. The air crackled with unspoken desire, an electric current that pulled you closer to him.
In that moment, the rain outside faded into obscurity. All that existed was the warmth radiating from Kurt's body, the intoxicating scent of damp earth and wildflowers, and the growing intensity in his gaze. Your breath hitched in your throat as he leaned in, his lips hovering a tantalizing distance from yours.
The kiss, when it came, was soft and sweet, a gentle exploration that sent your heart soaring. His touch was careful, as if afraid to break something precious. Yet, there was an underlying passion in his kiss, a promise of something more waiting to be explored.
You melted into his touch, the rose forgotten in your hand. The world around you seemed to dissolve, leaving only the warmth of Kurt's body and the intoxicating feeling of his lips against yours.
As you pulled away, both breathless, a shy smile played on your lips. The rain outside had softened to a gentle patter, and a single ray of sunlight peeked through the clouds, casting a golden glow on the scene.
The greenhouse, once a haven for flourishing plants, now held a different kind of bloom – the blossoming of a love as vibrant and beautiful as the flowers that surrounded you.

JTTW BOOK CLUB
CHPT 7-9
@journeythroughjourneytothewest
Chpt 7
•”All this was probably refined in his stomach by the Samadhi fire to form a single solid mass” I know other deities can use the fire but I’m wracking my brain for when it used before(this point) specifically- My understanding was the furnace refined the immortal elixirs and fruit- I’m going to assume Laozi is just theorizing and doesn’t know what actually happened
•Diamond body….👀
•Erlang gets absolutely DRIPPED out, he earned it FR
•eyes permanently irritated by the smoke churned up the the Xun trigram, someone get this man some eye drops
•he is extra pissed
•HE JUST BODIES LAOZI IM YELLING😂
•”this cosmic being fully fused with nature’s gifts passes with ease through 10,000 toils and tests”
•Big war form out to beat serious ass, he’s not jokin bitch
•” bright and luminous; ….illustrious pearl of mani he is indeed” MMMMM comparing him to a mani- a flaming (wish granting) jewel is hilarious 💀
•Tathagata bringing in the big guns (himself)
•”how tf do you know The Way and not know who I am?? And you’re so….violent” I can sense the side eye
•I wonder if Wukong has previous incarnations?? Buddha says he just reached human form this incarnation but if his rock was there at the beginning of creation, wouldn’t his soul be ‘baking’ (for lack of a better term) the whole time until he hatched?
Tumblr media
•” and with a total lack of respect he left a bubbling pool of monkey urine” Iconic moment LMAOOOO
•smart for Wukong to leave a momento- too bad it didn’t matter lol
•ah so he was jumping to visit the pillars again, not run away(supposedly)- he’d rather prove he’s right than escape💀 that checks out
•monkey has been squished, it is now party o’clock
•are you allowed to give the Buddha drugs if it’s an offering? Like wine??🤔 “wtf is this allowed? Wtf”
•”Wukong is wiggling out”
“Dw, take this”
*slaps tag on the mountain like flex tape*
Tumblr media
•enough room to breathe and move his hands- I would lose my mind
•Molten copper & iron pellets mimic punishments in hell (just learned this🙏), shedding the Karma like water -I feel like 500 years is pretty good tbh considering everything
Woe molten metal and iron upon ye
Chpt 8 + 9 under cut:
Chpt 8:
•lots of lovely poems in this chapter
•a paragraph recap of the past 7 chapters
•wonder what Feast of the Ullambana Bowl is? (the notes say it’s a mass for the dead and is also know as the Ghost festival, practiced by Taoists and Buddhists)
•”the Chan mind shines bright like a thousand rivers’ moon; true nature’s pure and great as an unclouded sky.”
Lovely poem, and I’m beginning to realize this book is very heavily focused on the Chan school, which I don’t know why I didn’t pick up on sooner? White-Robed Guan Yin is a Chan specific form, usually depicted in their bamboo grove
•Tathagata reveals his 3 baskets of scripture after everyone is done presenting their poems, feels almost like he suggested the celebration to announce these
•Each basket corresponds to scriptures of Heaven, Earth, and the Damned- a total of 15,144 FUCKING SCROLLS
•oooo Guanyin poem!! “ a golden body filled with wisdom, fringes of dangling pearls and jade, …dark hair piled smartly in a coiled-dragon bun. With brows of new moon shape and eyes like two bright stars, her jadelike face beams natural joy. …Her orchid heart delights in green bamboos; her chaste nature loves the wisteria. The living Guanyin from the Cave of Tidal Sound.”
•5 Talismans: Embroidered Cassock that will protect him from falling back into the Wheel of Transmigration, a 9 ring priestly staff that will protect him from poison or harm, 3 tightening fillets- the Golden, the Constructive, and the Prohibitive Spell.
•Guanyin thinks this will take about 2 to 3 years💀 hooooo boy….
•FLOWING SAND RIVER!!! MY 2ND FAV BOY!!!
•Green and Black complexion, Gleaming eyes like the lights beneath a stove, forked mouth with teeth like knives and swords, and disheveled red hair
•like that Wujing is using a priest staff he def took from one of the monks he ate lol
•Wujing fighting Moksa for his life only to drop everything to apologize and talk to Guanyin LMAO
•MOKSA PICKS HIM UP BY THE COLLAR AKFKAKDJDJ
•ah, so Wujing didn’t reincarnate, he was changed, STABBED OVER 100 TIMES EVERY 7 DAYS AND FORCED TO COMMIT CANNABILSM SO HE DOESNT STARVE AS PUNISHMENT- THATS JUST LOVELY😭
•I like the interpretation that he could have been trying to signal a coup by breaking the crystal cup
•Guanyin hearing about Wujing’s string of skulls: it’s a surprise tool that will help us later
Tumblr media
•BAJIE TIME
•this idiot bro “HOW DARE YOU TRY TO GET FLOWER PETALS IN MY EYES!!” “IDIOT THAT WAS GUANYIN” “…Guanyin is here??” “LOOK UP”
•Wuneng is reincarnated, he got beat to death in Heaven for hitting on Chang’e LMAOOOOO GET REKT
•ah yes, casually mentions killing his pig family and then his life of eating humans. Lovely.
•AO LIE TIME
•I committed a little accidental arson, please bail me out
•Damn, he got a really short intro
•interesting that Guanyin id’s the Peach Banquet as Wukongs fall from grace. I would def agree with this- eating the peaches like he did was extremely reckless and the beginning of the end imo
•”who tf is talking shit up there”
•No one has ever visited Wukong, I’m guessing the Guards were horrible company
•I like how both Guanyin and Sanzang try to give Wukong a religious name- Guanyin is very happy to hear he has the Wu- prefix as well lol
•arrived in Chang’an, let the hunt begin
Chpt 9:
•Chang’an bb, all blooming flowers surrounded by 8 rivers (DAMN, that’s a lot of water)
•Guangrui got first place in the examination, good for him UwU
•SURPRISE WIFE
•”gave the girl to Guangrui as his bride” UM I THINK SHES THE ONE WHO GRABBED HIM LMAO
•Guangrui has some fated beef with these two random boatmen, Liu Hong and Li Biao- states that he was destined in a previous incarnation to be enemies with them, is this a result of bad karma?
•NOOOOOO MY GUY GUANGRUI
•Liu Hong reminds me of Liu’er Mi-*gunshot*
•since they’re at the bottom of the Hong river, which Dragon King is this?
•Golden Carp coming in clutch, nice
•LADY YIN IS SO METAL LETS GO “she hated the bandit so bitterly that she wished she could devour his flesh and sleep on his skin” DO IT GURL, KILL HIM
•damn, too bad she’s pregnant with Sanzang….dw Girl I know you would kick his ass otherwise…
•there goes his toe…
•get named River Float idiot
•damn bro chill, that wasn’t very monk-like of you
•homie got called an orphan and cried JAKDJSJFJ I FEEL BAD
•she didn’t even check the toe I THOUGHT SHE DID- WHAT WAS THE POINT LMAO
•nvmnd
•I guess licking the eyes is better than spitting on them…sigh…
•GODDAMN THEY RIPPED LIU HONG AND LI BAIO APART….good for them, deserved in fact
•Lady Yin committing suicide even after she was reunited with her husband makes sense, as there was a trend where wives whose husbands died or they were assaulted, killed themselves. This was show loyalty to their husbands and add weight to their claim of SA- Lady Yin’s husband coming back does not change the fact that everyone knows she was forcefully married :((
(I use the term ‘trend’ only as a way to describe the rise and fall in wife suicides tied to either a husbands death or as a response to SA)

hi! How are you doing? This is the same anon who is going to bake a meat cake for Leona (i still can’t believe I’m going to put a candle in a meat cake), and I’m also going to buy him flowers, do you think he would like pink lilies? Roses crossed my mind but I feel he wouldn’t like them very much
[Referencing this post and this post!]
Tumblr media
The meat makes a squelch sound as you stick the candle in… Yum yum, bone apple teeth 😋
Oh man 👨 you really are pulling out all the stops for him, huh…
Mmmm… Truthfully, I don’t think Leona would care for flowers much, regardless of the type. He strikes me as a pragmatic guy who doesn’t care for frivolity and excess (since he’s always commenting on how Vil and his older brother showboat too much). With him being a beastman and all, I’d imagine he’s sensitive to smell—which includes that given off by flowers.
When I think of Leona, I personally see hardier flowers rather than the conventional roses or lilies. Stuff that grows in arid climates or in the savanna itself, or flowers that more match his colors (golden yellow, earthy and jewel tones). Maybe just a vase of catnip or something to annoy him.
Another idea is to go with flowers from his Broomquet card. I believe those would be yellow gebara, cream eustoma, calendula, solidago, orchids, callistephus chinensis, and black rose buds, and galphimia gracilis. This post goes in depth about the meaning of these flowers and how they may pertain to Leona’s character.
You should be fine just getting whatever flowers you like though. It’s not like you have to worry about offending the allergies of a real cat. Just have fun with it!

Hello again! Thank you for responding to my last ask, I honestly thought you wouldn’t and I’m pretty grateful for it! I thought of some more lore ideas for Blue Orchid Cookie and wanted to share what I came up with along with some artworks I drew while lore dumping.
Tumblr media
Since I mentioned on the last ask that Blue Orchid cookie was the apprentice of White Lily cookie, I thought of how his relationship is with the other ancients. Blue Orchid has positive opinions about the ancients, especially with White Lily and Pure Vanilla cookie. He likes going on late night walks with Pure Vanilla whenever he visits the the Vanilla kingdom. Blue feels a bit intimated by Hollyberry and Dark Cacao cookie because of their respective personalities by warmed up to them after a few more visits. He finds Golden Cheese to be overwhelming because of her excessive gift giving of precious jewels and clothing whenever he visits her kingdom but finds her to be good company. Some fun facts about Blue Orchid is that he loves rock/metal music to the shock of many cookies. He finds the songs in that genre to be very exciting and stimulating which is perfect for listening to in the background in his free time. He often has trouble saying no to other cookies as he is a people pleaser or cookie pleaser in this case. He either has to get bailed out of the situation by another cookie he knows or the request from the other cookie was so absurd that Blue Orchid had to say no. Blue Orchid often worries about the day he fails to save a cookie in his care which makes him a bit of a perfectionist when preforming healing spells but he means well. He also has a slight crush on a special cookie who does music from the rock genre but I’ve yet to figure out who that is.
Tumblr media
Also here’s a little Shadow Milk jump scare because he’s a silly little gremlin. This is what Blue Orchid looks like if he got corrupted by Shadow Milk cookie. Such mischievous fellas, surely wouldn’t cause a certain mentor and her friend to have their hearts crushed no sir. :)
Bruh, Pure Vanilla and White Lily Cookie would be CRYING-
Rock/metal music? Now that would be a definite surprise. Seeing this gentle looking cookie just blare screamer metal in their room is such a whiplash lol.
I’d say that Blue Orchid just try to take the Golden Cheese gift giving to stride, it’s just her way of letting him know that she cares for him a lot.
A crush on a music cookie that does rock? Hmm, doesn’t ring a bell with me…

we all know Alice’s story which we can find HERE but points about her !!
— alice was born into a middle-class home in Biloxi, Mississippi, in 1901. Her father was a jeweler and a pearl trader. Alice’s mother tended to their home because her father traveled often. Her mother loved her so and she loved her mother very much.
—   alice was prone to having premonitions of the future since she was a child, though they weren’t always correct. Though she rarely spoke of her power because her mother told her not to because people in town talked a lot especially during her adolescent years. On two occasions, she tried to warn a friend and a cousin with her unfortunate predictions, but they refused to listen and when the predictions came true, she was blamed for cursing them, earning her the epithets of “witch” and “changeling” from the townsfolk.
—   alice had a horrifying vision of her mother being murdered by a stranger. Trying to run after the carriage her mother left in, Alice saw it happen and tried to explained that it was murder, it was declared accidental and her father silenced her.
— within six months, her father remarried a blonde Yankee from Illinois whose father was a promising customer. Alice’s stepmother treated her coldly while making a pet of her sister. Alice suspected that the marriage and her mother’s murder were all planned and carried out by her stepmother. Her father raged at her for suggesting ill of his new wife.
—   then, Alice had a vision of her father and her mother’s killer planning to kill her, revealing the true face of her father.  Alice rushed to the town’s marshal, but her father was already one step ahead of her. He told the townsfolk that his daughter had gone mad, and had her trapped in a mental asylum two counties away.
—  while in the asylum, her head was shaved during the threat of typhoid outbreak. She also endured electroshock therapy which rendered her with total amnesia, but it also restored her naturally cheerful and humorous self.
—    a vampire who worked at the asylum befriended Alice and treated her like a daughter. He also frequently visited her with objects hidden in his hands to test her powers, and shielded her from other horrifying treatments as best as he was able.
—   one day, Alice had a vision of a powerful tracker named James coming after her, which occurred the moment he caught her faint scent. She informed the vampire of this, and he planned to escape with her, but Alice still saw James catching up to her, and every option he offered her ended the same way.
—   when he decided to change her, Alice saw that this would be very close, and they might not have enough time. The vampire immediately bit her, took her away and went to distract James, sacrificing himself in the process.
—   when she woke up, the pain of the venom (  along with the fact that she had shocking treatments  )  erased all of her memories . But her premonitions were also intensified .
—    later, she was led to Jasper, after receiving a vision of him, and the pair subsequently joined the peaceful coven of the Cullen family . the rest is history most of you know . she came to forks and while she does love her coven and the family she has built , if jasper ever wanted to leave she would leave with him .

Manjiro and Shinichiro. Clothing comparison between Mikey and Shin
The cover of volume 30 of the manga is finally out and I can compare these two images with peace of mind.
Tumblr media
There are common features on their costumes, namely the image of Nue and gentians. But Shin has dragon and orchid images on his clothes.
Nue.
Nue (鵺) is a mythical creature seen in the ancient chronicles of medieval Japan. It has the head of a monkey, the body of a tanuki, the legs of a tiger, and a snake instead of a tail. Nue can turn into a black cloud and fly. Because of its appearance, it is sometimes referred to as the Japanese Chimera. She is not a predator, but feeds on human fears.
Nue is described in the historical Japanese chronicle dating back to the 12th century. The chapter "Nue" describes the following: "In the era of Nimpyo, during the reign of sovereign Konoe, the emperor suffered every night from an incomprehensible illness, and he was tormented by nightmares, from which he even lost consciousness. They turned to the highest priests. They read incantations and the most holy prayers, but it did not help. Every night at the hour of the Ox, the sovereign had a seizure. At this hour, a black swirling cloud hung over the palace and made the emperor suffer."
Nue is an allegory for the Black Impulse of the Sano brothers.
Nue makes the emperor suffer. The Black Impulse causes Mikey and Shin to suffer.
Nue can turn into a black cloud. A black impulse literally swirls around a person and makes him lose control of himself.
Nue is a chimera made up of parts from different animals. We all know how Mikey tends to take on the looks of people he cares about.
Nue can be said to be a being that mirrors the Sano brothers. (It only partially applies to Shinichiro, because the other half of the costume depicts a dragon. This refers to the duality of Shin. He can be both a majestic dragon and Nue).
The Dragon.
The golden dragon is located on the left side of Shin's cape, right next to the heart.
Gold is the official color of Shinichiro. The dragon refers us to his gang "Black Dragons".
The golden dragon is a symbol of power and strength. Both Chinese and Japanese emperors were given the epithet "dragon-faced". Moreover, it was believed that some emperors had a dragon's tail. Previously, only members of the imperial family were allowed to wear robes with gold elements / gold color.
Also, the dragon repeatedly acts as a protector of the buddhas and a generous giver of happiness and wealth.
Manjiro is the Buddha. There is a golden statue of Manjiro that replicates the golden statue of the reclining Buddha. In addition, the Manji sign is a symbol of the footprints of the Buddha.
Tumblr media
The dragon protects the Buddha. Shinichiro protects Manjiro.
In Western folklore, dragons are tough creatures that have a penchant for collecting various treasures. Often they spend time in their lair and guard the jewels.
Shin is like a dragon majestic and excellent. It has been repeatedly said that he was an outstanding man.
Shin, with special devotion and love, protects his precious little brother as the main treasure in life.
Covers of volumes 24 and 30.
In fact, I think these covers are similar.
Tumblr media
Their pants feature swirls that look like a black impulse. The main colors for the backgrounds are gold and red. Gold is the color of Shinichiro, red is the color of Manjiro.
Gentian.
Gentian is a beautiful autumn flower that means “sincere love”.
Orchid.
Orchid, the queen of flowers, means "pure love, tender memories."
Both of these flowers were used for Manjiro's funeral to express the love of the Sano brothers.
Tumblr media
BUT these two flowers are often used in manga. This worries me a little.
Their names are in Japanese.
Gentian - 竜胆 (Rindo), Orchid - 蘭 (Ran). These flowers are literally the names of the Haitani brothers. The kanji in Rindo's name also have separate meanings 竜 (ryuu) - dragon, 胆 (kimo) - courage, spirit.
His name may mean "Dragon Spirit". The dragon is bonded by Shinichiro, Draken, and Mitsuya. With the closest people in Mikey's life who protect him from others.
Could the Haitani brothers have a connection to the Sano brothers or time traveler?
Even the clothes show a deep connection between Shinichiro and Manjiro. It has similarities as well as differences that show that they are very similar, but each one is unique in its own way. They both have great charisma, know how to change people and cannot live without each other. But also their methods, behavior, abilities are opposite. Even their characteristics are different. Shin is a crybaby who always lost. Manjiro is the "Invincible Mikey" who holds back tears.
They are like yin and yang, opposites making up a single whole.
They are the Sano brothers.

Prompt , flora and fauna- lots of flora and fauna can be found in the caves of the underground, all of the plants and mushrooms I showed here are edible and often used and eaten in the in the cities of the underworld. - Sivin Bloom; grows near the surface, it blooms white to golden and then will grow a sweet golden berry  - Rensustall antenna mushroom - Broad leaf mushroom - stick twal - Underworld orchid - inkling lantern mushroom - ink drop glowshroom -stoopospors -lusmoss -Pomber  -dinsm berries -drip leaves - top duster Fauna wise I drew the three animals that are the symbols of the different cites: the symbol of orai’ral, the dual Millapede symbol of Elgar, the cavern bats symbol of black chowl, the black cowled spider. 
Prompt 7, lgbtq+ here we have  a bit of a messy picture it shows two lgbtq cuples. the first (on the left) is a historical couple, one of the two brothers that established the dark fauth as what they are today, Calvive and his husband who is actually the founder of the black scorpion den, and is a Robin Hood like legendary figure in his own right. they are both legendary figures on their own, but their love story is a tale involving pirates, kidnapping, a darling rescue from a tower and a bunch of shenanigans. the other less exiting love story is That of lillygaurd the mayor of cavern bat city and her laquiam girlfriend. they just are a lovely and quiet couple with no intense story around them, but that's the way these two lesbians like it. - other things also in that photograph are a drawing of the lush caves.. still thinking about copying a bit of Minecraft's homework... and part of a sideways map of the continent of O’sten. the part of the map that has no labels on it what so ever is the one where most of these cave systems that make up the under world is located.
Prompt , some one else’s drow, so originally I was not intending on doing this prompt, mostly because the dark fauth are only baised on drow and are not drow in and of themselves in the dnd sense of the word, most of them are not even elves. But at some point or another that changed because I made some loose scetches of what other cities are like from some of the other designs floating around on the drowcember tag. So pictures 3&4 from left to right, here’s credit to who gave the inspiration for the design:
1. Dragon fish city, inspired by the elegant and flowing artwork of @j--mno-art​. The moon crescent coat on thier oc xaston is so fun. As for the what I decided on for the people of the dragon fish city
- weird genetics as they accept anyone that needs a place.
- fashion tastes are the closest aligned with that of the taste of the surface world of that region.
- often wear familial tattoos or make up.
- lots and lots of pirates
- worship of the moons are commonplace
-live in a grotto by the sea so have easy access to the ocean and surface
2. The blood spot millipede, inspired by the rigged and delicate design of @linaswalaf their art is so technically excellent and the red and grey color schemes prevent in a lot of the drowcember art was so pleasant. I just adored the overall aesthetic that thier drow art had. As for the bloodspot millipedes, the city is called Teri
- fuzzy ears are common as there is a good deal of troll blood in their ancestry.
- are cavern dwellers and do not venture near the surface unless nessesary
- known to be excellent scholars and jewelers as they mine a lot of precious materials
- despite not going up to the surface often they have extensive trade with the surface world.
- well infamous as relentless and absolutely brutal warriors
- weavers of kelper cloth.
3. The black scorpions, inspired by the drow of @eaglewind13 the colorful drawings of hers was a delight to see. But this design was most heavily inspired from the family day prompt, so the information
- simple genetics, an interesting thing about the city of the black scorpion is that most of its citizens are not permanent residents. Instead a lot of the people of the city will travel around the surface world and then hide out in the city come winter or due to other circumstances
- grey extremities, because of the rather migratory nature of a lot of the cities citizens the magic radiation that has changed the appearance of the people of the other cities has not been able to as effective in the people of black scorpion, though people who’s family has been in and out of the city for generations tend to have grey fingers, toes, hands, legs, or freckles and thier hair tends to be pale or purple in color.
- they interact a lot with the surface world and the underworld
- den of thieves, the city is full of thieves and robbers who use it as their hide out from the law of the surface, the “other circumstances” mentioned earlier. The city can be a bit chaotic.
-they make some strong booze.
- large cape like coats are common so that no one is aware of what you are carrying. Along with spikes on shoes to help access and climb walls of the cave. Also honor among thieves and all that, there’s unofficial rules a person needs to follow in order to get to stay in the city as a hide out.
4. The violet visage spider, this one is inspired most hevely on the normal dnd idea of the drow. All the good all the bad. It’s that one city that the other cities tell you to avoid if you are traveling the underworld. (The inspiration for the design in this one is the same as the ghost spider so I’ll get to that later)
- eugenics, awful, but let’s go with it. So for this city they are very particular on what kind of people are welcome to live here, and much more selective on who can have a family. Raquesasha, vickor, the few eyes of the region, the allets, troll blooded and so on and so forth are not allowed, and if they are they live in very specific areas of the city and surrounding villages (they got dibs on the largest cave in the know underworld)
-dark/grey skin. They have a few very set looks.
-spider worship, so I’m thinking that backstory wise the reason that these people are down here is because they were a really big cult that had some views that didn’t mesh well with the popular religion and opinion of the surface world and the violet visage moved to the underworld as a result
-matriarchy. And a really controlling and violent one. So what I’m thinking is that there is a bunch of family house and that they are in constant competition with each other and such to rule over the largest swafts of city territory. Basic but workable.
- sexist hiarchy, why not let’s throw all the bad tropes in here, slavery why not, badly treated harems, shure. I can play it straight but I might try to do something different with them even so. But for now the violet visage spiders are the closest dark fauth to Dnd drow. At least those imaged in the 80s-2010s
5. Ghost spider city, the city is called elisk and is actually the oldest parts of the idea regarding the dark fauth, a group of people who lived in the caves of the continent of O’sten and have a relation ship with large spiders called ghost spiders, at some point someone commented on how they where like dnd drow and I decided to embrace the idea. Now I also stumbled upon the ideas of @fantasy-anatomy-analyst and her (?) blog by a comparison of her(?) drow to the drow of mainline dnd. And I have to say the monkey like drow are so neat and cool. Unfortunately the picture I drew for the inspiration I was taking is too close to the reference image for my liking. So apologies about that, I’m trying to make them more distinct so it’s less of a copy than it is inspiration.
-oldest of the underworld tribes, they and the silver centipedes are the decedents of the people who lived in the underworld before the two brothers claimed it as a place of the forgotten and forsaken.
-have the most adaptations to the caves as they have live here the longest, including motion sensitive whiskers/eyebrows and a keen sense of hearing, also their hair can glow slightly in the dark. Slightly short on average.
- cultivate spider silk, and some of it glows (because that is so cool)
- respectful to elders, matriarchal mothers, lots of sibling rivalry, some different gender roles and identities than those of the surface world.
- wear clan markings, either painted on or as tattoos.
Prompt 19, exploration, some bat cavern people exploring some tunnels Prompt 27 nobility. here's the different current leaders of the cities    lillygaurd is the youthful  leader of the cavern bats. youthful and youthful she's in her mid 30s, got a girlfriend and a city to be concerned about. she was a well known zordezoth in her youth, (zordezoths are robin hood or Zorro like figure, they are called Zozoths for short.) she was elected into her position    ilnor, the hereditary leader of the black chowl caverns, she was chosen from a group of cannidents by the elder council, she is in her late middle age, also shown here is her daughter Rät, more on her later.   Seven, the three armed king of the Duel millipede, he was born with three arms and lost his eye in the duke to become king. Prompt 22, half drow, this was also originally not a prompt I was planing to do as I simply did not know how to do that with the fauth as they are all technically humans sort of, and vickor are also considered fauth. the raquesasha on the other hand are not, they may live among the dark fauth, but they are jevels according to O’sten and O’ller (they are heaven kin in the kin system)  but then I drew Rät, she is half dark fauth and half Raquesasha. the daughter of ilnor, and the raquesasha horek. she has a few of the abilities of raquesasha with the ability of teleportation and surounding manipulation with a plum colored core. only half of her mouth is sealed when closed. she is rather asymmetrical, but lacks the excess limbs of most raquesasha. though many raquesasha on the O’sten do not have these extra limbs.     Prompt 15+16 villains and heros. the legend of the lek brothers. two sons of a witch, they lived centuries ago as slaves to the people of the cricket lands.  They stayed together, through thick and thin. They eventually grew into a pair of rebellious trouble makers who stole a power and dangerous magical artifact called the fifth moon. They used their cunning and hard work they freed hundreds or thousands of slaves and moved them into the safety and freedom of the underworld. Then more impressively they stayed free against the might of the sun king. It’s much more of a legend these many years later than it is entirely historical events.
 (I’ll finish this later but I want to upload in December)

we all know Alice’s story which we can find HERE but points about her !!
— alice was born into a middle-class home in Biloxi, Mississippi, in 1901. Her father was a jeweler and a pearl trader. Alice’s mother tended to their home because her father traveled often. Her mother loved her so and she loved her mother very much.
—   alice was prone to having premonitions of the future since she was a child, though they weren’t always correct. Though she rarely spoke of her power because her mother told her not to because people in town talked a lot especially during her adolescent years. On two occasions, she tried to warn a friend and a cousin with her unfortunate predictions, but they refused to listen and when the predictions came true, she was blamed for cursing them, earning her the epithets of “witch” and “changeling” from the townsfolk.
—   alice had a horrifying vision of her mother being murdered by a stranger. Trying to run after the carriage her mother left in, Alice saw it happen and tried to explained that it was murder, it was declared accidental and her father silenced her.
— within six months, her father remarried a blonde Yankee from Illinois whose father was a promising customer. Alice’s stepmother treated her coldly while making a pet of her sister. Alice suspected that the marriage and her mother’s murder were all planned and carried out by her stepmother. Her father raged at her for suggesting ill of his new wife.
—   then, Alice had a vision of her father and her mother’s killer planning to kill her, revealing the true face of her father.  Alice rushed to the town’s marshal, but her father was already one step ahead of her. He told the townsfolk that his daughter had gone mad, and had her trapped in a mental asylum two counties away.
— while in the asylum, her head was shaved during the threat of typhoid outbreak. She also endured electroshock therapy which rendered her with total amnesia, but it also restored her naturally cheerful and humorous self.
—    a vampire who worked at the asylum befriended Alice and treated her like a daughter. He also frequently visited her with objects hidden in his hands to test her powers, and shielded her from other horrifying treatments as best as he was able.
—   one day, Alice had a vision of a powerful tracker named James coming after her, which occurred the moment he caught her faint scent. She informed the vampire of this, and he planned to escape with her, but Alice still saw James catching up to her, and every option he offered her ended the same way.
—   when he decided to change her, Alice saw that this would be very close, and they might not have enough time. The vampire immediately bit her, took her away and went to distract James, sacrificing himself in the process.
—   when she woke up, the pain of the venom (  along with the fact that she had shocking treatments  )  erased all of her memories . But her premonitions were also intensified .
—    later, she was led to the love of her life, Jasper, after receiving a vision of him, and the pair subsequently joined the peaceful coven of the Cullen family .
—  the rest is history most of you know . she came to forks and while she does love her coven and the family she has built , if jasper ever wanted to leave she would leave with him .
also to note alice has long hair .

Taking a little break from painting leaves to go and look at some leaves: specifically, on my jewel orchid (Macodes petola). Got this little sparkle child back in April, look at her now!
Golden hour lighting really pops the glitter in those leaf veins, so I took a video to capture it.
Fingers crossed for winter survival.
