who. WHO ARE THEY /POS POS POS

who are they i want to put them in my mouth (esp william and the other one who’s 28 i forgor their name)

SO (ramble beneath the cut)

Antler boy is Ruadhán, he was born to a barren man and wife who lived in a lowerclass end of a large city (name pending.) because they struggled to have a child of their own, they bargained with the fae. The fae gifted them Ruadhán!

The parents loved him and raised him like their own, able to hide his lower half well enough for the most part in his youth - they both tragically passed to illness before he was a full adult.

His antlers started growing in at 14 years of age, already making people wary of him - but when a dual eclipse and famine hit the city at 15, the city leaders (uncertain if general nobility or royalty yet. definitely religious) blamed him and cast him into exile.

He was fortunate enough to have a friend whose family business was in travelling trade, Osman Flynn, who helped him establish himself out in the woods.

The following year, worse and worse blizzards began to hit the city. People, in their fear, began to turn on each-other and claimed they had somehow angered the "demon" they'd cast out. City leaders decide this is a prime opportunity to push a control-through-fear method of governance and start sacrificing people yearly to the Beast of the Woods - always selecting problem-folk (people who weren't criminals, but caused dissents or changes from the status quo) to be sent out into the cold.

William Clarke was born a noble, but a black sheep in his family. He enjoys stories, and would never give up his efforts to become an authour, despite finding no approval from his family - add it to the list of things they just didn't seem to like about him. He spent most of his teens and young adulthood hearing about the Beast, however, and grew a morbid obsession with him, researching every text and hearsay he could find - and coming to the determination that the Beast was, in fact, no beast at all.

So he wrote a story.

He was sacrificed that year, and all the books burned in his wake.

Neither of them really know how William made it through the blizzard to Ruadhán's side, but he survived, and Ruadhán took him in - as he'd taken in every sacrifice he'd been able to find since the cycle started. Those that survived the storm would stay the night in his cabin before heading off northward to Valenor - a larger, ostensibly kinder city. Those that didn't, Ruadhán would eventually find and bury. He expected William to leave like all the rest, but William was pretty much smitten from the first conversation, and insisted on staying - which is where we are now.

Ruadhán is teaching William how to live in the wilds, and William is reconnecting Ruadhán with his humanity. Love wins!(?)

The final character is Blair. You remember Osman? She's his daughter! She grew up taking the road with him, and often insisted on staying at Ruadhán's cabin when she was a girl while her father traded in the city. Osman's since fallen ill and is in Valenor getting treated, and Blair has taken over in his wake. Osman and Ruadhán worry over her *constantly* - because despite how capable she is as a businesswoman and a swordfighter, they know how cruel man can be.

There's a lot of, uh. Religious vs queer allegory involved in their story, if you couldn't tell. It's a theme I hold kind of close to my heart ghdjdns

Bruh did I just get clocked wtf

[cosmic-nia]

[l0ganberry]

My boi Kinger got an A+, even know he wasn't even in the adventure.

Maybe the Kinger x Caine is canon

[ventique18]

He is both incredibly thirsty and desperate but is somehow oblivious of it lmao

See? Desperate.

Wanted to say Glaze 2.0 is AMAZING.

What took 30 mins+ before, took me THREE MINUTES last night. WITH my other programs still running.

For folks who tried Glaze but haven't been using it due to glazing time, give 2.0 a chance!

I've heard that other folks have had it taking the same time/longer, but the quality is so much better. Your settings will determine the outcome, but it's definitely a huge improvement over the initial release version.

This update was super sexy of the Glaze Project. You can download the updated version from their site HERE!

(You should also use in conjunction with Nightshade!)

[splynter]

I’m listening to an Alex Hirsch interview and-

Alex Hirsch: “Is there anybody else in the multiverse that’s gonna make Ford feel as important as Bill did? No of course not!”

👁️👁️

UM. HELLO???

[weirdglassthing]

It’s IRONIC. god. Nobody understands satire humor these days

First attempt at drawing Gideon and Kremy went surprisingly well maybe I’m destined to become a scaly idk. You guys have no idea how hard it was finding a pose that was easy to draw with Kremy’s alligator mouth. I probably forgot like 400 fey curses I barely remembered gideons flower crown. I’m not drawing that thing but imagine the dulcet tones of the worlds greatest bard (morning Ross) playing in the background.

Guys you can’t blame me I just watched episode 15 and I was possessed and blacked out and woke up staring at this

Ft. Some drunk pixie wives and the only three people that cared about Thaco (I did not look up a reference I just drew a clown)

Anyways pose under cut

It had to be adjusted a bit

[cream-and-tea]

what she says: yea i’m fine

what she’s thinking: the story brought both carpenter and faulkner to their inevitable end points that have been foreshadowed from the v first episode of the show ambiguity of carpenters death aside she stood on the banks of the river singing like her nana glass and was gunned down by the military and faulkner was drowned dragged delivered by the god and story he had let devour him but. but. before those things happened right before the narrative reached its end both of them stood up and said no! i want to go forward! i want to find something past this whatever it might be i don’t want it to take me yet im going to keep on walking! and it was too late! the thing is it was too fucking late!!!!!!! the aquifer was already flooding the soldiers were closing in she was to hurt to run he can’t swim. the chance had come and gone at the beginning of the episode for any hope of them reaching each other ever again but even though it was too little too late never ever going to be enough they both looked the site of their doom in the eyes and said i do not accept this. not here. not now. i am staring at you– the thing that will eat me — and resolving to pry open the jaws and choose to use the last moments of my life (whether i know it or not) to run and stumble and crawl and cry and sing in the hopes of reaching the people who matter to me more than being made your meal. and of course they got fucking eaten anyways. of course they did bc they were walking towards it from the beginning. but there is a way out, there is a way forward, there is a land beyond the storm that is possible to reach if you choose to step out of the story that has been built for you to find it. we walk on, with a rough and tarnished hope, and a tangled, ruined love. it can end with love, and it can end with kindness. even as the jaws are closing. ours is a world of miracles.

hey pro tip when a transfem has been harassed by the reactionary transmisogynistic hate group of "transandrophobia-believers". and you go into her notes trying to discuss that transandrophobia is real. you are part of the harassment campaign, you are a harasser

Lilia: "This voice... Levan?! You, when did you return... No, but those horns are Meleanor's..."

Lilia for a while confuses Malleus for Levan... He only doubted himself because of the horns... Do y'all remember who has a similar build/hair color/skin tone/lip shade as Malleus...

"Those old fools of a senate... How dare they..."

"AND GRANDMOTHER AS WELL! Why have they kept the truth from me all this time?!"

OMG! He didn't know that Lilia hatched him... Lilia tries to calm him down and says that it was him who told them not to say tell. Because if he knew the truth, then he might feel guilty.

At this point Lilia begins to mix up reality and memory. He's questioning why he's calling this person Malleus when Malleus still isn't supposed to know how to walk on two legs. Malleus soothes him, saying that it's alright, Lilia doesn't have to think, and he doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Malleus: "What dream would you like to have? A dream where both father and mother are alive? Or would you prefer a dream where you and your son live peaceful lives?

"I will give you anything and everything you wish for. Now, Lilia, take my..."

Silver: "FATHER---!!!!!"

Lilia is still confused and mixes up things, and Malleus looks at Silver and Sebek exasperatedly, as if they're pests that keep on popping up. That they being awake is bad, and that they should go back to sleep. Silver objects and Sebek tells him that there's no way a man born from so much love should grow up to be villainous and hated by the entire world.

Silver: "And that's why we will definitely defeat you. Lord Malleus... YOUR "BLESSING"!"

Because of that keyword, Lilia finally remembers everything that happened.

Lilia: "Well said. That's my disciples for you."

Lilia: "I must have taken a very long nap. Now you've done it, Malleus!"

Malleus: "Tsk. You've truly woken up, Lilia! But you need not worry. I will tuck you back to bed very soon."

Lilia: "Ha! Did you just say you will tuck me to bed? You've grown cocky, haven't you? Then do your worst!"

Lilia: "Everyone, after me!"

LILIA: "IT'S TIME TO RUN--!!"

OMFG LOL LILIA???? Malleus laughs "Are we playing tag? It's been far too long since we've played like this."

"We have all the time in the world. Why don't we have a bit of fun, Lilia!" *CUE UNHINGED FUCKING LAUGHTER HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CREEPY AS HELL
