random OC ask: what would your OC wear on an average day? what would they wear to a special event?

[feel free to include reference images, if you'd like!]

AA TYSMM i think she;d dress pretty comfortable on an avg day (carpenter pants , light button up, a smock & open toed sandals -- sry osha) given that she'd likely be in the studio but omg.. for a night out i can picture a gorgeousss floor length gown, black w a gentle shimmer, fitted with a deep v and an open back or some cutouts.. & jewelry to match ~

a random OC ask for you (for finch): what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

his favorite memory is playing the piano at the elfsong. he used to busk to raise money for a proper weapon for himself and eventually got good enough to play opener for acts at the tavern in the evenings. it paid CONSIDERABLY less than security work would for a half-orc but it was less frightening for a shy teenager with little combat experience outside fights with other street kids. it was probably the most fun he had in baldur's gate growing up.

and there was a lot of pride in earning enough tips that he could buy himself dinner AND squirrel some coins into his savings. a lot of hope tied into that. and there was a bitter satisfaction in his half-elven grandfather finally approving of something he did, even if it was only because he viewed it as a means to finch buying his own equipment and eventually providing for himself "doing what you're really good for." and no longer being his problem.

and for your second question: surprise! he'd go to a tavern! like any true adventurer. first thing finch does in a city is try the food and gauge the attitude of the locals. and he can do both of those by planting himself right in the middle of a pub. if people aren't friendly he'll finish his business quietly and try not to start something but if something gets started well. he'll finish it too. but really he just enjoys the opportunity to eat something hot and drink something cold. gods field rations suck.

this is unexpected, and I'm not sure what OC are you interested in BUT OH I'M EXCITED, THANKS FOR ASKING. I will go with Tavi and Sav. For Tavi, her fav memory was training with her friends in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, I think. And if she gets dropped in a random city with lots of money, she will try all the fanciest food that there is. Savari's fav memory is probably her and companions sitting around the fire in the evening and sharing funny stories :') and if she ends up in a random city with lots of money, she will probably buy some books and keep the rest of the money to invest it into some magical research later.

random ask: what is your go-to daily drink? your special occasion drink? detail delightful, recipe spectacular.

∧,,,∧ (  ̳• · • ̳) /    づ♡ I love you drinks [you're pretty cool though]

An excellent set of questions! My day-to-day drink is usually boring old Pepsi for that bit of caffeine that my ADHD brain craves. If I'm going for something alcoholic, I love a sweet hard cider - my absolute favorite is Gumption, which has become impossible to find around here and may be out of production, but I also enjoy Woodchuck (especially the green apple variety - yum!!!) and Doc's Draft (the sour cherry and peach varieties are excellent).

A fun (alcoholic) drink that I've done a time or two is to mix sparkling apple cider with a little bit of Fireball, it's like a bubbly spiced cider, I love it! A hot version could be made with regular apple cider and Fireball or any spiced liquor of choice - I had some at a party once that was made with Captain Morgan, it was lovely!

For a non-alcoholic hot drink on a nice chilly morning, I like a homemade mocha. Make some coffee however you normally would, making sure to leave some room in the mug when you pour it. Add milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla syrup to taste. If you want to make it a little extra ~cozy~, add a little bit of ground cinnamon. Mix and enjoy!

I also adore hot, spiced, non-alcoholic apple cider - add a gallon (or half, or however much/little you want) to a heating vessel. Slow cookers are great for parties/large batches, you can also use a small pot if you're making just one portion. Add ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to taste - you'll probably need far less of the cloves than the cinnamon and nutmeg, but you do you. Stir and allow to heat up. Serve hot, preferably while wearing a cozy sweater and staring at pretty fall foliage. Handmade mugs make it taste better, if available.

Also, adding a little cinnamon to hot chocolate kicks it up just that little bit. Or a tiny bit of chili powder. Or both. A little goes a long way for one mug of cocoa.

okay, so with regard to the previous ask about raphael fic, i am extremely curious: what types of raphael fic concepts do you go for, in your house?

raphael/men

a random OC ask for you (for nyla) : what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

I'm assuming you mean Spinkle? (Spinkle is my durge and Nylla is my friends Tav in our multiplayer save/Spinkles bestest friend)

Spinkle was hit with that true factory reset so any memories she has are all from within the last month, but I'd say the most fun she's had in that short span has been running loose in the mindflayer colony below Moonrise. Moonrise towers? Boring. Fleshy cool stuff hidden underneath it? Awesome!!!!

And as for a nice day trip out with no obligations? I wouldn't even say money is necessary I think she would just want to go on a chase, like a dog being let off it's leash. But like, she bites, so take caution.

random ask: what is your go-to daily drink? your special occasion drink? detail delightful, recipe spectacular.

∧,,,∧ (  ̳• · • ̳) /    づ♡ I love you drinks [you're pretty cool though]

oh, I'm just seeing this one! hello what a fascinating question

daily go-to drink is definitely coffee, part of my morning rituals and light of my life through the Curses (work)

and I think the closest I have to a special occasion drink is boba - sometimes I have it on real special occasions, sometimes the occasion becomes special due to having boba

and I love ermmm drinks as well 🤭

random ask: what is your absolute most favorite food ever? the one that you wish you could summon at will with no prep required and also need everyone around you to try and also love (but not so much that there's none left for you)?

mujadara, lentils and rice ! i'm actually making some tonight for my friends :+)

this is the hardest question for me to answer 🤣🤣 food is one of my ultimate loves and I have many favorites.

if i had to choose i'd pick the food I wish for the most but no longer can get...a New Mexican green chile breakfast burrito

ty for the ask!!

a random OC ask for you (for zaihala): what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

aah omg this is so sweet ehehe, thank you for the qs :3c

i like to imagine that zaihala is an avid stonemason and mosaicist .. i think she is enraptured by the idea of taking something so resilient in nature and molding it under the guide of mallet and chisel . she's a humanist intrigued by the natural world, by geology.. by the incredible craftsmanship that goes into such a trade .

if she were to be dropped into some random city with the freedom of both time and money, i think you could find her in the market , sourcing materials or tesserae she couldnt otherwise acquire at her local workshop. . glass, shells, ceramics etc from vendors or acquainting herself with quarry tradesmen in order 2 procure the stone that best fits her vision.its an obsession..u literally have to pull her away or she'll be there all day

as for her FAVORITE MEMORY!!! omg.. i keep picturing her as this fresh face in baldurs gate, having just moved there on her own , sworn to independence but feeling like maybee she made a mistake. . maybe she was too impulsive, chasing her desire to pursue stonework on a whim, not having thought abt the consequences or the finances or what have u .. but she takes the chance to meet up with some local artists on an outing just outside the city .and its just sooo .. reaffirming to her in that moment. to be surrounded by people who are drunk on wine & laughter and to see the sprawling city just before her as the sun is setting..and the wind is warm..gentle...and it leaves her feeling so content..like a feeling of peace that swells up within her and lets her know tht she made the right choice. that it will be OKAYYU!!!!!!!!!! i think that's gotta be in one of her top ten.. perhaps.

U & Y for the recent ask game!

[the ask game]

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Mmh, ok so, the first three that come to mind in no particular order then:

Nicolas Brown from 'Gangsta' because of how the author handles him, sets him up as this scary, badass, heartless monster and then shows the reader that he's actually incredibly soft. And also because I'm weak for those loyal type characters whose sole purpose in life is to protect their friend or companion.

Nadja from 'What We Do In The Shadows' because she just cracks me up. Plus she's GORGEOUS and her style is amazing. I think she's an extremelly succesfully written female character.

Ashitaka from 'Princess Mononoke' because he's compassionate, kind-hearted, responsible and, honestly, one of the first characters that actually informed my personal moral code growing up. I feel like characters like this are so important. It's important to stick by what you believe in and still remain sympathetic towards others.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Oof, I'm not super familiar but I'd say 'Hades' (the video game) because my patrons requested some fan arts. I guess I got to know some stuff about Baldur's Gate 3 through fan arts from people I follow (and my social media algorithms) lately, so there's that.

random OC ask: what would your OC wear on an average day? what would they wear to a special event?

[feel free to include reference images, if you'd like!]

Thank you for this ask! This has been an excellent excuse to pull the sketches I've been sitting on for the last few months together and throw them onto some quick paper dolls-type models. Luce Locke the Half-Elf Lore Bard

Every day Luce wears oversized clothes (don't ask where she got them from) adjusted to fit her properly with either ties, corsetry, vests, or exceptionally wide belts. For a formal outfit: I've gone with a Hero of Baldur's Gate, patriar-appropriate styling that leans a bit more into her Wood Elf Heritage fancied up but still keeps the silhouette type she prefers.

Elain Freespawn the Tiefling Sorcerer

Elain's every-day post game uses elements of her old formal robes softened up. She keeps the 'belly dancing' bells as part of her costume because she enjoys how they sound like windchimes when she flies around. Elaine's Formal outfit is a de-gore-ified version of her old cult robes.. -- Which is largely based on one of my own RennFair costumes

Aerfen Mlaștină the Human Monk

Aerfen's every clothes are just her monk clothes which are based on traditional formal Romanian clothing. Her formal clothing is her normal monk robes plus a Vest. Very fancy. :)

Malkira, Chosen of Bhaal the Drow Druid

Mal's everyday clothes are her personal (non-Bhaalist) assassin robes. Her favorite clothes. She likes that it gives her a weird silhouette around her joints when she crouches. Her formal clothes are her cult leader-worn clothes, she does no other formal events willingly. And this is where I would put Vlaaz, Githyanki Cleric of Vlaakith. But to be honest, drawing the Githyanki armor sucks ass. And I was only going to joke that she wears the same thing for daily and formal and it wasn't worth it. Here's Vlaaz anyway. I think she's neat.

She will not dress up any more than this. This is perfection.
