#gonna have to go back and fix that

[translothcat]

omg this has been a draft for like forever lol. ok more about Amira. ft the one finished piece of digital art I have of her lol this image is all over my blog.

she's a princess within the Mizumi family, who are regional royalty/nobility while the Organa house is the royal family of the whole of Alderaan. she's the daughter of the younger daughter of the Head of House, so Amira isn't really in line for the throne. lucky her, she doesn't want any royal duties getting in the way of her life (never mind that she doesn't even know what to do with her life before she finds out she's force sensitive). quick chart to kind of explain:

the little crown represents where the succession line goes.

so Fliss'aa is a princess too, though takes her obligations a bit more seriously. (sorry, *was. it's star wars. gotta have dead parents in there somewhere.) fliss'aa was a princess, and married rosalie, who was the head of the royal guard under the Mizumi division. the two of them died in a space car accident (which might have been a political assassination) when amira was about 11 years old.

so amira is a force sensitive, on a core world, born to very public, high ranking figures, who are on very friendly terms with the jedi, and yet wasn't taken in to the order? well, the reason is that amira was a rainbow child. specifically, she was born after a lot of struggles through conceiving. so rosalie and fliss'aa were extremely overjoyed and very attached to amira when she was born. so they couldn't deal with the idea of 'losing her' and not being able to raise her as a family. obviously the jedi were fine with this and respected their wishes (they're not child snatchers lol) and left them to it. amira's mums had planned to tell her that she was force sensitive, and what that means, when she was older - but they died before they got the chance. the rest of the family didn't know about this, so couldn't tell her when they took amira in to raise her. she only found out when leila and cedar were deployed to her palace and she became close with cedar.

the Mizumi house is largely represented with a diamond/angled square motif such as below. the base shape represents the house as a whole. its the simplest shape because people would most often be referring to the main royal family, and then any derivatives or subdivisions will have variations on that diamond. for example the royal guard has 'spikes' coming off of each corner.

(excuse that its a bit of a shoddy sketch lol pretend its all even and good looking)

a lot of stuff was passed down to amira from her mums. amira's crown was originally fliss'aa's, and amira also got rosalie's guard captain coat and helmet. the helmet looks very similar to this alderaan trooper helmet from swtor, but a more solid back like a clone trooper or mandalorian (I think the half back from swtor is kinda ugly lol at least for what I want)

(look how cool that helmet looks!!!)

braids are a large part of alderaanian culture. when amira was a kid, fliss'aa used to help to braid her hair loops like below. after they passed, amira struggled to do the braids herself and started to just tie it as rough, low pigtails. she was still able to do the braids in front of her face since they're in an easier position and also smaller. at some stage, there's a heartwarming scene where cedar (who is also of alderaanian heritage) helps braid her hair for her while she gets to wear traditional alderaanian clothing (taking inspiration from kimonos/yukatas) and they frolick in the fields embracing their culture. not shown here is that amira's clothing has a pattern of spoonbills on it, and that this is also inherited from her parents.

spoonbills are a real life animal that I think are so perfectly star wars animals that they're native to alderaan now. the Mizumi palace is on a great lake*, which also happens to home a lot of spoonbills. so think that the robe has a pattern similar to this yukata but with spoonbills

*Mizumi is the japanese word for lake. as the palace was built on the lake, that's what the family were named for

there's. so much. I could say. about my characters. amira has dark eyebrows from rosalie. and a round face from fliss'aa. she found a kyber crystal and felt a strong connection to it [unknowingly the force] and now wears it on a necklace.

I want there to be a lot of themes about connecting with her heritage - both her culture as an alderaanian, but more personally with her deceased parents too. honouring her parents and her planet.

"Minthara is so abusive to the player" *INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE*

Minthara would literally go to fucking hell for the opportunity to personally beat the absolute shit out of the person who actually did abuse you. She will throw hands with gods and devils just to avenge you.

And you will not be able to convince her not to.

Next

Never posted Betty before but she's my sdv farmer

It's become a running gag for me to name my ducks after food (Pomegranate's mother is named Grapes), and I feel like Elliott would enjoy little Pomegranate

(Image description and taglist under the cut)

[ID: A traditionally drawn comic of two people on a walk during winter. Both are wearing coats and scarves. The first one, Betty, has long, dark hair tucked into her scarf and earmuffs. She has fair skin, thin lips, and a hooked nose. The second person, Elliott, also has light skin and long hair, and is a bit taller than Betty. Betty glances at Elliott with a smile and says, "Stop a minute. I want to show you something." She then reaches into her coat and reveals a small duckling cupped in her hands. It quacks happily as she says, "Her name is Pomegranate." Elliott gazes at the duckling, immediately love-struck. Betty carefully hands him the duckling, and he holds it close to him and says "I love her" as it nuzzles his face. End ID.]

Brandon Sanderson is a brilliant writer when it comes to world building, overarching intricate plots, and battles.

The one place where he seems to fall short? Interpersonal relationships. The bonds these characters make with others often seem superficial to me and lacking weight despite the meaning given to them

The one interpersonal relationship where that wasn't the case? Navani and Raboniel. Somehow Brando Sando wrote the GAYEST most supportive and interpersonal character driven plot between these two, full of support, awe, and literal connection through music and rhythms, and then RIPPED IT AWAY!!

Like okay we've had enough of good character interactions back to superficial waves at intimacy between people while we focus on the morality of battle and city planning instead.

Navani, Raboniel I'll never forget the doomed enemies science yuri you created together you were too powerful for this series

I will forever be so upset that the Ice Chapter didn't give us a Kai VS Ice Emperor fight like come OOOON!

And I'm not even coming at this from an oppo angle. Like yeah, I love oppo, everyone knows that, but it just feels like such a missed opportunity to have Kai have to fight Zane and have him be the one to get him to snap out of it. But no, it has to be Lloyd because he's Lloyd.

And another thing that makes me so upset regarding the missed potential here is the fact that in the Fire Chapter, the big bad villain is Aspheera. And at the end of the Fire Chapter, Zane is the one who defeats her, you know, the master of ice. So then in the Ice Chapter, it would make sense that the one to defeat the big bad would be Kai since he's the master of fire and it would make for good parallels or whatever. But no we don't get that.

At the very least we get that awesome, badass scene where Kai defeats Boreal and saves the others. That scene was amazing, I just with we got a little more from Kai, you know?

nickel and balloon would be so much more interesting if people explored the way nickel became everything awful that balloon used to be but so much worse ironically all in the name of "protecting" everyone from that history repeating. and not softboy tsundere yaoi or whatever is going on in those tags rn
