IM NOT DEAD🔥🔥🔥

I’m not sick and dying anymore so I’m getting back on the grind🙏🙏🙏 have an old ref sheet of my diluc redesign (with some minor changes) that I just finished (finally lmfaoooo)

This is actually bad news for me because now I don’t have an excuse to draw him inconsistently 💔💔

Ignore the misspelling. NEOW……

Anyway I’m gonna talk about his design because i can 💯

Major points/changes

- he is no longer a twig. Very self explanatory this guy has a big awesome claymore I cannot convince myself that he doesn’t have the means to swing that thing around (one handed no less)

- I darkened his color palette, but I also made it a bit warmer in nature. The pure white right in the middle is a bit distracting and I don’t think it does much to communicate his personality. It just breaks up his design in a way I don’t like.

- scars, yes, but also stitches on his face. I imagine it’s new bruises, stitches, or scabs every week. I know it makes his face just a taaad busy, but idk. Ive been drawing that headcannon for forever atp so I try to accommodate that busyness with lots of flat color by the face to balance everything out

- Just a hint of embroidery here and there. It implies culture and adds just a bit of softness to the design (most of it is on the shawl underneath the fur)

Specific details I want to talk about!

The white fur shawl/scarf/neck warmer/make up a word idk💔

- this serves multiple purposes both thematically and visually

- it creates a ‘barrier’ around his face, not unlike the protective walls that border Mondstadt. It serves to imply his personality without dialogue, a bit closed off and skeptical at first. Almost as if he is trying to shield his peripherals from oncoming foes.

But it is still a soft barrier, and can be easily peeled away to reveal a very kind person at heart.

- it emphasizes the square shape. Not much to say there. Makes his shape language a bit more interesting as well by introducing a softer shape near the top.

- looks a bit like snow, no? Almost like snezhnaya still weighs heavy on his shoulders.

- underneath the fur is a faded red shawl from his mother. The only parts visible from the outside are those golden tassels. I like this bit a lot because it implies that (in reference to the point above) he doesn’t really know a whole lot about his mother or father- it’s buried under mounds of snow. The only thing he has truly been left is their wealth. He’s gonna have to dig if he wants to know their true nature.

The coat

- it’s wind resistant for sure but also a bit… warm. It’s very thick and long and you can’t actually see a lot of what’s underneath. He’s only showing the viewer a sliver of what’s underneath. Under the rest of the coat? It could be anything. Knives, his vision, maybe even a gun? (Correct assumptions)

-it leaves the average onlooker with a lot of questions but is also very convenient in a fight. Can’t block a surprise knife to the liver if you never even knew he had one on his person.

Miscellaneous

- layers are super prevalent in his design. Especially on his face. From the makeup to the contact, he’s trying really, really hard to convince everyone he is fine (WRONG‼️) the people closest to can tell something is off, but… who are they to say anything?

- the nail polish was initially added because I thought it was funny but I also think it could be effective as a last resort in a fight. Imagine you’re in a fight with a guy and he ignites his fingernails. Scary af.

…I realize that’s probably not possible but it’s really cool so I’m just gonna suspend my belief.

Here’s some hair stuff. I wanna write about mondstadt hair lore in my au/rewrite bc it rots my brain but I have so many wips I gotta do those first

p. coryxkenshin x fem!reader established relationship, so much fluff (it's so fluffy im gonna die!!!)

You laid in the dark on your boyfriend’s bed as he recorded a video in the room over. Scrolling on reels, occasionally sending one or two to some of your friends. This was a frequent routine for you. You had a hard time falling asleep unless Cory was right by your side. So, Cory would record, and you would wait for him to finish and then you would both go to sleep. Eventually you heard his door open and he made his way downstairs. Assuming he was done recording, you got up and made your down as well. As you walked down the stairs, you heard him rummage through the pantry. “Hey, were you hungry?” You asked.

“Oh my goodness, you scared the freak outta me!” Cory jumped. You burst out laughing at his reaction. “You could’ve asked me, I would’ve made you something!” “I thought you were still asleep,” He said. “Sooo.. whatcha making?” You inquired. “Some noodles,” He replied. “And I know what y’all thinking, Cory I know you not about to make some Yakisoba noodles mid-recording. Well y’all must be new here.” You fell silent for a second, internally questioning who he was talking to. You followed his gaze before realizing he was recording. “Oh, shoot. Are you still recording..?” You asked despite knowing the answer. Cory nodded before motioning for you to come closer. “Yeah, come say hey” You shyly creeped into frame, waving at the camera. “Hey, samurai! I’m not really the most camera-ready right now, I kind of just got out of bed.” You mumbled. 

Cory began to fix the noodles as you watched closely. “Here,” Cory handed you the dry vegetable mixture and you emptied it in as he recorded. “Now we need some water,” You made your way to the sink, then placed the plastic bowl into the microwave before starting it. 

“Alright, while that’s cooking, let’s talk about something important,” Cory said, leaning toward the camera with his signature exaggerated seriousness. You stifled a laugh as he continued, “Do you prefer your Yakisoba with shrimp or chicken? Because let me tell you, this is a highly debated topic in our household.”

You chimed in, “Um, I think it depends on the day! Some days I need the protein of chicken, other days, it’s all about the shrimp vibe.”

He grinned, clearly pleased with your contribution. “So, we have a diplomat in the relationship, apparently! I like that,” he said, gesturing dramatically. The playful banter was classic Cory, but it also felt like a comforting routine that signified the bond between you two. “Y’all hear that? We’re all about balance in this house,” he continued. “I’m not saying I’m a culinary genius or anything, but if I can whip up a noodle dish with random pantry ingredients, I’m basically Gordon Ramsay.”

Your laughter echoed through the small kitchen. As the microwave beeped, you took it as your cue to grab the bowl. “Okay, noodles are done. And remember, you were the one who wanted a midnight snack. What do I get for helping?” You raised an eyebrow, attempting to sound serious while keeping a grin on your lips. Cory feigned contemplation. “Hmm, how about my eternal gratitude? Maybe a permanent spot as my co-host for nights like this?” He looked at you warmly, and your heart swelled at the affection in his eyes.

“Maybe,” you returned the same fake contemplation. “That sounds really good actually,” You giggled a bit. “You heard it hear folks, Mrs. Kenshin will be co-hosting cooking with Kenshin!” 

“Maybe we should start calling it ‘Cooking with the Kenshins”

sorry if idk this but what do you think about Wordgirl now in 2024 do you still like it do you still want to make art or talk about it or are you just done with all of it forever and plus i seen that you haven't made art of it since 2022 so you just done with all of it oh yeah and what about The Magnus Archives + Wordgirl ao3 fic too like is that just going to be and i know that your working on 2 au's now just wanting to know that's all

My interests tend to come in intense bursts and then fade. Unless something like, big happens like it gets a reboot its unlikely I'll be coming back to it anytime soon. As for the fic I don't have any current plans to finish it unfortunately.

i was lookin at a few vids about the bg3 dream visitor romance [spoilers if anyone's still early game i guess lol] and like i was so shocked people were, like, so upset and betrayed when they discovered the dream visitor's true form fksdjgkdljf like okay i forgot not every corner of the internet has monsterfuckers and also i guess normies are playing this game. and ALSO it reminded me that the % of players that even have the steam achievement of sleeping w/the emperor at all is so low. 12.7%. why is everyone a coward. i'm not even a self proclaimed monsterfucker. i dont like sex and im mildly phobic of tentacles. WHY IS EVERYONE A COWARD!!!!!

tho to be fair probably a lot of ppl are also romancing a companion and wanna be faithful - ive only gotten to that scene in multiplayer where none of us were in companion romances so it was guilt free go for it see what happens, in the discord call all together LOL..... then we had a lover's spat after the raphael fight 😑

i know veilgaurd is absolutely incredible for gender reasons, and that it doesnt just let me have top scars but actually lets me acknowledge im trans in conversation like with taash and then when flirting with davrin (still dont know if im gonna romance him or lucanis yes, but asaan did cockblock me?????) but i do wish i could have gotten healing spells....although thinking about it now, because i wish i could have also given my rook my chronic pain/cfs, it makes sense i wouldnt be able to take healing spells, this is my new canon....(like either i get healing spells bevause i know pain and want to limit it for myself and others OR disability is disabling and im incapable of using healing spells since just like real life nothing eases this) anyway..

I like to headcanon that my rook DOES have chronic fatigue or minor pain because im an elf, but im also a mourn watcher, and it feels weird and wrong and unnatural to me for an elf to be living in the nevarra necropolis. i really love that being a mourn watcher has made me weird in conversation and just absolutely ready to let emmerich know how i want to be treated after i die, but nevarra is so dark and dusty, i have to wonder if as an elf being so close to spirits and so far from nature would effect me? so yeah, rook is screaming at all times and loves his home in the necropolis, myrna and vorgoth, the dead and the spirits, but leaving after the war of the banners helped him feel whole once he saw the forests for the first time, connected to his elven lineage (lmfao sorry bro), then he met varric who helped him get his top surgery. but it was the spirits and their lack of genders that helped him realize he also needed to do away with gender tho. i just really love my rook and this is the first time ive played a da game and not felt like i needed to run through it a few times to get everything out of it because i had to choose between male or female. also hes freaking adorable as hell.
