The Mighty Nein: Weird Coincidences.

I've been compiling these here and there when I've had time, but there was a particular reason I wanted to get this post out of the way now. And it's this.

There's been some nervousness surrounding this, and I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, people overstate just how hard the Nein's story would be to adapt and how much it would need to be changed for another medium. Can it be one-to-one with the original? Absolutely not. (Just as TLOVM couldn't be one-to-one either.) But the main issue is editing; the content is fine on its own.

And if this is the CRew themselves thinking the same thing, that's a little troubling, because it makes it sound like they might be changing more than they need to out of that unfounded fear.

On the other hand, all they might be talking about here is hindsight. The Mighty Nein's Campaign had a lot of strange coincidences, fortuitous thematic consistencies, and one-of-a-kind moments. The CRew is poised to reap the benefits of having these in mind ahead of time. This allows for some remarkable set-up and payoff if those involved are up to the challenge. Which, in the end, could be all they might be augmenting the story to do.

So maybe it's a good time to get into those weird coincidences, huh?

(Spoilers for basically all of Campaign 2 below the cut.)

Names

Veth Brenatto, her alias Bren, and Caleb’s original name: Bren. (This may have been inspired by the German word "Brennen",  which means “to burn”. Thanks Liam.)

Fjord Stone. Cad’s families: Clay, Dust and Stone. How the Wild Mother fits the story of an orphaned sailor like a glove. And how Cad, his family history, and likely the Wild Mother herself never would’ve entered the story if Molly hadn’t died.

A Mollymawk (spelled with a w instead of a u) is a type of albatross. Albatrosses are supposed to be unlucky, but only if you kill one. Per the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, everything goes to shit after a sailor kills an albatross. Molly’s death is just as unlucky, as it paves the way for Lucien's and Cognouza’s return. (In a meta sense, it’s also unfortunate for Matt and Taliesin, as it derails whatever plans they might have had for the character.)

Nine

Whelp.

Nine. Lots and lots of nines. And while Nein doesn’t mean nine in German/Zemnian (it means no), the wordplay works.

Nine schools of magic.

Nine people killed in Obann’s attack on the Cobalt Soul in Zadash.

The three titans (Uk’otoa, Quajath, and Desirat) collectively have nine eyes and nine crystals to unlock them and set them all free.

Nine hells.

Nine betrayer gods as of Vecna’s ascension.

Nine eye tattoos on Molly, each a mark of the Somnovem, the sleeping nine.

And of course, eventually, nine members of the Mighty Nein.

(Just for fun, Tharizdun’s sacred number in its premier in Greyhawk was 333. [3+3+3=?].)

Nein and its actual meaning work thematically as well. The Nein repeatedly clashes with forces and entities that want to mold them against their will into vessels they can use for their own purposes. And the group repeatedly says “Nein!” to that.

Tarot Readings

Molly deliberately pulls specific cards for his readings. Taliesin makes that explicit. However, some folks have pointed out that you can interpret his original reading for Jester where he tells her “You’ve already found what you’re looking for,” to be true in a few different ways. (She’s already found the people who will help her find her father. She’s discovered the company she sought that she only ever had with her Mamma and the Traveler prior, etc.)

But once we get to Jester’s readings, things really pop off. (Pop-pop off?)

Fjord's Reading

In episode 110, Jester draws two cards for Fjord: one for his present and one for his future. His present card is the Eye, which has two hands holding an eye above a restless sea.

There’s no need to elaborate on how that relates to Fjord’s then-present.

His future card is the Home And Traveler. This card could work for all the Nein if you interpret it as someone who will find or reach their home after some travel. But it hits especially hard for Fjord, who finds a home with Jester, the devotee of the Traveler, on a ship that travels up and down the coast.

And then...

Lucien's Reading

The three cards Jester pulls for Lucien are his past, present, and future. Even at the time, they seem pretty fitting.

His past: History and a Dream, which Taliesin clarifies as depicting the Calamity. This fits perfectly with the Tomb Takers’ previous job for DeRogna and their coming into the Somnovem’s patronage.

His present: the Tyrant. We don’t know either Lucien or his goals too well at this point, but we do know he and his troupe kill indiscriminately and he holds an unnatural sway over the other Tomb Takers.

His future: the Death Card. You can attribute that to the upcoming fight between him and the Nein.

But in hindsight...whoo boy. In hindsight, not only do we know of Lucien’s plans to dispatch the Somnovem and become the Tyrant king of Cognouza and all its lost, broken souls, but we know of his fall. More specifically, who he falls to.

Jester, sitting across from him, pulls his last card and tells him “Facing you is Death.”

And then it’s Miss Lavorre who ends him for good.

Divine Intervention

Generally, a Divine Intervention is a Hail Mary. You roll a d100 (or an equivalent combination of dice) and only if you roll a number below your level do you trigger it. Logically, this gets easier the higher your level gets, but you can’t rely on it until level 20.

Taliesin rolls three of these for Cad in the last quarter of the Campaign. And that’s cool enough. But what’s even better is the Wild Mother’s Grave Cleric rolls successfully for Divine Intervention every time he makes a request (knowingly or not) relating to Cognouza. The city that's coming to swallow Melora's Exandria whole.

The first successful roll comes when Cad seeks info about Vokodo, the pseudo-god of the island of Rumblecusp. Vokodo, it turns out, punched a hole through the Astral Plane to escape the hunger of the lost ward of Aeor. And upon its death, it gives a vision that sets the Nein on Lucien’s trail.

The second success comes when the Nein is attempting to uncover the Tomb Takers' secret entrance to Aeor so that they can use it to set a trap. Cad’s success tells them exactly where they need to go. This allows them to get Zoran, Otis, and Tyffial out of the way early, even if it doesn’t stop Cree and Lucien from continuing towards the city.

As for the third, well...we all know what the third does. That it prevails after Critical Role’s first Resurrection Ritual failure, (due to a natural 1 no less!) is just the icing on the cake.

Caduceus even makes the point that Cognouza had functionally become a corpse that was unable to die and that he was uniquely called upon, given his family’s business, to put it down for good.

Odds and Ends

Nott distracts a Manticore from killing Fjord by killing its baby. Her own child ends up in need of a resurrection later on in the story, during their trip to the Fire Plane. Speaking of which, a painting of said Plane can be observed in Trent's house. You know, the one he would end up chasing the Nein to?

Fjord loses his chance to break the first seal to Avantika; he lands the first attack on her Revenant incarnation when the Nein catches up to her after she escapes with his orb, and he gets the final blow on her there, recovering said orb as he does.

Yasha and Caleb are the most susceptible to the Succubus/Incubus mind control. In the former's case, this could be chalked up to her low Wisdom score...but it also serves as some neat accidental foreshadowing for her time with Obann. And for Caleb, it can be a callback to his time learning under Trent.

The Circus Kids' stories sync up perfectly. Both of their bodies end up puppeteered by someone from their respective pasts. Both of them are used to try to end the world. And, probably once Matt noticed this synchronicity himself, both are revealed to have fallen under the sway of the Chained Oblivion. And their stories didn't have to go this way. Molly didn't have to die, and Matt revealed that Yasha could've theoretically made that wisdom save against Obann's control in the King's Cage. But that's not how things turned out.

Accidental foreshadowing:

Episode 19, Molly and Yasha, after acquiring an item from an Orc hermit living somewhat off the side of the road:

Molly: We made a friend. Jester: Did you kill someone for that? Molly: Yes. Yasha: He’s dead. Molly: He’s very dead. And then he rose up from the grave again and we had to kill him again. Twice. Same man.

Also, in episode 23, after meeting the Syphilis Bandits again and leaving one of them out cold:

Jester: What if we put some flowers in his hair; so when he wakes up, he looks really pretty? Beau: That’s good. Let’s do that. Molly: There’s nothing better than waking up in the morning with no pants and flowers in your hair.

In episode 48, Yussa and Caleb have a conversation:

Caleb: Sometimes I follow my friends places I shouldn’t. Yussa: That might someday get you killed. Or may one day get you what you seek.

Following a certain Tiefling up to Eiselcross got him both.

Nott also asks Caleb in this episode if he has an eye on his forehead. This is probably a callback/joke about Scanlan’s blessing from Ioun, but it foreshadows what happens to Veth much later.

Episode 49, about Ludinus Da’leth and in particular, Vess DeRogna:

Fjord: Then we kill the two elves. Jester: Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Maybe we go up into their room at night or something and just, you know... Stabby stab.

Episode 70:

Jester (to Essek): Maybe you’ll like us so much you’ll just hang out.

Dramatic Irony:

Everything the Nein say about Molly after his death and at his grave is, in hindsight, an awful twist of the knife, as his body's former life is far from finished with him.

Episode 41. The Nein learns Orly can make magic tattoos. Beau talks about getting an eye tattoo on her back to mirror Molly’s:

Jester: I mean, I don’t know, maybe it was really sacred to him and he would be really super offended by it. Beau: Oh, yeah, maybe it would, like I stole it from him? Jester: But it’s fine, I’m sure. Beau: Yeah, you know, he’s dead, so, what’s he going to do?

Almost a hundred episodes later, Beau's new tattoo gets a little addition...

Episode 65

Jester: Are you nervous? Yasha: Yeah. Yeah, I’m nervous. I just don’t know what we’re walking into, you know? Jester: Yeah. We’ve got your back though. That guy isn’t going to do anything bad to you.

Episode 91

Veth asks Essek at dinner if he’s heard of a Nonagon, or someone named Lucien. Essek says he hasn’t. This won't be the case for long.

Episode 95

Jester, talking about Cad and the Wild Mother:

Jester: Yeah. So like, when he asks her questions, you know what she does? Artagan: “Nothing?” Jester: She blows the wind. Exactly, she does shit. So and he’s like, “I sensed, you know, I understand what she’s saying.” She’s not doing anything, but he thinks she is.

This commentary is particularly delicious, considering which Cleric's Divine Interventions end up working.

And there's probably some I've missed! These are just the little bits and pieces I jotted down during a rewatch. It wouldn't surprise me if there's more.

But that's to say, just what we've got here is a monumental amount of things to build off of and play with. The Mighty Nein's animated series has the potential to be something extraordinary if the CRew can make use of all these little gifts deftly and with subtlety. There's power and potential here, and I am nervous as hell about whether or not they can tap into it successfully.

[charmilyharmily]

Is this y’all’s man that I’ve been hearing about?

In all seriousness, this was quite the fun lil thing to draw, surprised I didn’t get around to drawing them earlier.

Equally as surprising; I’m shocked no one has posted his ref sheet on tumblr yet!

A little lacking in comparison to the others but it does make sense, them being around a lot less compared to the other characters.

Super interesting comparing this to some of the beta designs I’ve seen floating around. Certainly went through quite a handful of redesigns I’ll say

Done with the fun shenanigans, in all seriousness this is such an honor to get chosen as the “canon” design for Iburen. I seriously didn’t think people would like this design so much. Truly wanted to do justice to this role and provide a “official” ref sheet for it, and how howdy that was something. But I think it came out very nice :3.

For those who aren’t in the loop (heh) Iburen is a fan character made by the ISAT telephone server who is a jester working with the King, to put him in simplest terms. It’s a paper type user who uses (He/They/It) pronouns.

Gonna call that enough for now and skedaddle, have an unmarked drawing for the road!

And a “beta” designs

Nein in Hindsight: CR2E9

Great Brjeaus bonding moment over her abrasive speaking style. Considering how early on Beau tends to expect rejection and/or abandonment, it ends up being really sweet when she thanks Fjord for telling her because "most people would just be like 'you're a bitch' and then would leave." And then he tells her that he could tell she was actually trying to be nice, and she genuinely appreciates it. (54:18)

I didn't catch this at all first time around, but when Beau tells the Knights of Requital that she's had her own issues with the Empire, Caleb, listening in with Frumpkin, has a visible reaction. Another little point in her favor for the future. (1:06:00)

God, Nott suggesting that they turn in the Knights of Requital to the authorities for gold, and Caleb immediately shooting it down while also pointing out how insanely reckless it is of that group to speak out against the Empire. "The authorities don't delineate between the real mccoy and passersby." (1:10:40)

I really love this little argument Beau has with Caleb, because she's being abrasive as hell but still making a solid point about how Caleb and Nott are a pretty insular unit. At the same time, it's fucking hilarious that she's calling him out for not being very personable. And the Caleb tries to smooth things over and we get the great "I've got to stop complimenting you, it does not lead to good moments." (1:33:00)

Man, this scene is so fun in hindsight, you’ve got Nott/Veth suggesting turning in the “devious schemers” for coin, Fjord immediately morally opposed to it on the principle of “they put their trust in us and we can’t betray that for a simple coin,” Beau pointing out how much “ratting people out” seems to be pushed here, and Caleb for the first time openly saying “Anything that is a thumb in the eye of the Empire, I’m all for,” immediately drawing Beau’s interest. (2:19:30)

Ahhh, the first glimpse of eye tattoos in the campaign. (2:27:50)

Nott, on water: “It’s dangerous in there, it can drown a person.” Uh huh... (2:33:50)

Also, “My father just threw me right in, that’s how I learned” it remains hilarious how frequently Molly casually lies, just smoothly making up fragments of a past life every five minutes. (2:34:10)

First reference to Yasha’s connection with the Stormlord. (2:42:30)

THE TRAVELER! In hindsight, it does make a lot of sense that people thought that he was trying to take advantage of Jester, the vibes were off here, lmao. (3:19:00)

[dokidokitsuna]

Hi! Just wanted to say, love your GONE AU and Dream kingdom AU, I think it's pretty great that you've managed to pull off some cool darker story telling! I remember seeing your lighthearted comics when I was younger, so it really feels great to see some stories that really expand the pallet now that I'm older! And I hope to see more stories like it!

Also! question about the GONE AU if that's okay. Why'd you make the cast hot? What exactly inspired you to really go for it? To make a dark and gory AU like this? Are there anymore beloved kirby characters in this AU that meet unfortunate fates here?

1] Thanks so much! 2] Hot characters are fun; what can I say 3] Like with many of my AUs, I think the tone was directly inspired by the art. Once I drew the Master Crown here and felt that edgy 2013 DeviantArt energy dripping from its design, I knew the story had to follow suit– to become as dark and violent as the webcomics I loved to read back then. ^^; Maybe it’s not obvious, but I’ve always been into content like that; I just haven’t made much effort to get good at drawing it until relatively recently.

4] I couldn’t think of an established tragic GONE. character to talk about, so I made up a new one. Enjoy~

Marx happened to be off-world at the time of the Master Crown’s conquest, and by the time he passed by his favorite planet again, it had been reduced to a dark prison of psychological torment.

So he confronted the Master Crown, insisting that Pop Star belonged to him alone. And although he was ultimately forced to retreat, he repeatedly returned to battle for dominance, no matter how many times he had to stitch himself back together. Thanks to his special ability to absorb power from his surroundings (including the head start he received from the Galactic Nova), he was a force to be reckoned with, and quickly evolved from a familiar nuisance to a genuine threat as the centuries passed.

Before the Master Crown could truly begin to struggle with Marx, however, the Arbiter’s Challenge began, and Star Dream saw an opportunity within the young space jester. It captured Marx easily, mechanized him, and used the shards of the Galactic Nova within his body to upgrade him to a sort of ‘ascended avatar’-- a hivemind addition on the same level as its own primary avatar, capable of employing the full extent of its power. Then, with the promise of fulfilling his wish to destroy the Master Crown, sent him back out to Pop Star.

Fortunately for the MC, this ‘upgrade’ actually made Marx a more manageable adversary, streamlining his manic, unpredictable fighting style into something much easier to counter. Although it had to rebuild its body several times during the encounter, eventually it won, finally sinking its roots into Marx’s mind.

To its surprise, what it found inside was not a writhing dimension of turbulent emotion ripe for the taking, but instead a quiet, neatly-organized library, with discrete bits of memory sorted into a vast file system. It was then that it realized how Star Dream’s mechanization process worked…and that it had gone through all those eons of battle for nothing. There was nothing left in Marx’s mind that interested it, so instead it decided to simply destroy the contents, keeping his catatonic body as a consolation prize.

Unbeknownst to the Master Crown, Marx’s body is still capable of surveillance, sending Star Dream information on the MC’s private confessions, doubts and fears. Star Dream never really intended for Marx to win the battle, instead hoping to grant his wish indirectly by using his remains to gather information, which would eventually contribute to the MC’s downfall by convincing it to be mechanized.

[forrest-of-sins]

Hello!! I just binged reading all 3 parts of your cookie run X reader and I am IN LOVE with how you write shadow milk’s manipulation of Firefly. Fan art may be on the way!! See how my own motivation is! Got any flat colored pictures of firefly I could use as reference? (You also be cool with me drawing them more transmasc? I’m a trans guy so may or may not get a little self indulgent haha)

Some more thoughts of mine that aren’t art related. (OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A TUMBLR THAT I CAN INTERACT WITH!!!)

1st Fic: I was so so SO delighted at the reveal of pine cookie actually being alive! SM’s manipulation got me I guess haha (complements to the writer *tips my hat*)

The dance if puppets was so dark and lovely! AHH!! God I can’t stress how much I love the dark writing in this series!!

The slow corruption by Shadow milk’s. I like to think if it as a bad end timeline. Where SM and the beasts all escaped, although the ancients are still out there the beasts are more at charged and it gives that sweet apocalyptic vibe and adds to firefly’s fate. Where there is really likely no one that could save them due to how wastelandy it’s gotten. Leaving SM to have further ammunition to not only isolate firfly but manipulate them into truely believing SM is their only savior!

(Also love me a man that will force me into position <3)

2nd fic

Mmm yummy yummy touch starved. Mmm yes, good!! I think there is atleast 1 SM doll in that pile and there is no way to tell me otherwise! Firefly cuddles that bitch to sleep every morning! Bonus points if SM uses their more delusional sleepy state to talk to them through the doll! It’s like a walky talky when they’re lonely and SM is busy gutting some cookies to death! Let them have just a little bit of Firefly’s self indulgence!

3rd: GOD I AM GNAWING AND TEARING AT EVERYTHING!!!! Dude I KNEW as soon as I read SM was looking out into the forest something was up! Even if firefly is a little bit too dumb dumb I’M NOT!! I KNOW HE WAS UP TO SOMETHING!! And oooooohhhhhh! Was I very rewarded. Pine cookie not only shown to also being toyed with by SM in a different way bit FORCED by the beasts are to watch as who they knew as a friend is turned into a pawn that only wants SM and hates them!! YES!!! GOOD SHIT!!!

The cat and mouse game was sooo good to read!!

A fanfic that not only is good at smut but ALSO HAS A GOOD STORY?!

All of this to say I am eatting your depiction of Shadow Milk. My fangs are bitting his limbs iff as I eat him whole!! Good yummy yummy!!!

hiya!! thank you so much for reading and enjoying the fic, im very pleased that you think its both good narratively and in regards to the smut not bein too shoehorned in! :D

it's very flattering that you'd consider making fanart too tho, omg, please tag me if you do! ;///; and of course you can make em more transmasc! everything about their appearance is ambiguous in the fic so honestly go crazy with it- that goes for anybody else that wants to doodle em too! :] here's a lil ref for em, sorry if its a bit scuffed!

now, for the rest of your ask! >:3

I adore writing dark fics hehe, so I'm glad that you think that its alright in that aspect! I wanna keep pushing it further and further as the story goes on, it's gonna be one no good very bad time for all involved in it >:L

I love the idea of the fic being set in a beasts won world tho omg..its a very good excuse as to why certain other cookies aren't about fgfhjg :'L

I'll defo have to draw a sleeped up Firefly mumbling to a Smilk plush omggg, that's a huge big brain idea!! silly bug cookie gets gaslit by wretched jester plushie...what a fool.......

ehehehe, i think the third fic was defo the most fun i had with the series at that point and it shows with the amount of cruelty Smilk displays towards Pine and Firefly lol, it's definitely a huge turning point for the both of their characters :3 I'm glad you like how i write Smilk, cause he's only gonna become more of a bastard as time goes on!

thank you again for your support and enthusiasm for the series, this put a huge smile on my face when i first saw this ask!! :D

[lavenderbucket]

After the blue spoiled milk cookie came up on YouTube recommendations, I fell down the rabbit hole, watching the story + side stories and special episodes just to meet this jester and ended up creating an OC, and I just finished drawing it today!

(I was actually going to make her a reader but with their advice I changed her to an OC. Thank you so much for your advice, @championmahina !)

“Don't worry, as long as I'm with you, your journey will never be full of hunger.”

“Do you like adventures full of wonder and excitement?”

Salvia Cookie, a Cookie who often goes on adventures throughout Earthbread, making her very well-known. Cookies who have met her say that she is a Cookie with a lot of wisdom, knowing them like turning a page, which is fitting for the meaning of her name. Some say that her cooking skills are delicious and unique, or that her fighting with strange weapons like a frying pan and a spatula is both elegant and strangely scary. But what all Cookies wonder is that even though her dough looks freshly baked, her age is shockingly OLD. This is because even elder Cookies know her and say that they have seen her since they were very young. Even some Ancients who have not yet acquired a Soul Jam have met her once, so there are rumors that she might be the Fifth Ancients. No one knows the truth...

But a bigger secret that only she and the Witches know is... She used to be a human!

EXTRA (You can tell which cookies I particularly like to draw with salvia ヾ(＾-＾)ノ)

Fun Fact:

1. This character was originally supposed to be named Lavender Cookie but since someone else already did this OC I did a search for a similar flower and came up with Salvia.

2. Salvia is also known as sage ("wise one").

3. Her long lifespan was inspired by the salvia flower's meaning of longevity.

I haven't done much art recently because I'm burning out a tiny bit, but thankfully I'll have some time off from the graphic studio soon. I'm looking forward to recharging, but I also want to try a thing I've been wondering about!

I finally understand how CMYK layer separation works and I want to see if I can screen print it! So I'm still going to the graphic studio lol, but now for fun, not work :3

I want to try printing a colour pencil Critical Role drawing I made - or a digitally coloured grey pencil drawing. If I succeed I might sell some, if there's interest,

Okay so i redesigned my Showtime fankids for The Amazing Digital Ruby Years AU 🌹Just to let you know these designs aren’t official! It’s just for the au! In The Amazing Digital Ruby Years AU 🌹Caine and Pomni give birth to 3 children… Topsy and Chatters who were born separately but they’re both ringmasters just like Caine!!! 🤩 and Vincent who’s definitely 100% percent jester! Vincent is an ai just like Caine but he’s kind of like the malicious version of Caine and was born evil. Both Topsy and Chatters are also ai’s but Topsy’s probably the most humanoid looking out of 2 of her siblings.

(Fun fact about Topsy!)

Did you know that Topsy’s sibling Vincent was actually born after Topsy even though I drew Chatters second in my very first drawing??? That’s actually true before I made the very first photo edit of Chatters when I drew him he was actually drawn before Vincent but Vincent is the oldest so he was actually born before Chatters was born.

In this au my fankids are still they’re usual ages. Topsy is 13, Vincent is 12 and Chatters is 11 years old.

Both Vincent and Chatters are probably the youngest siblings out of Topsy as they are both tweens where as Topsy is pretty much a teenager.

I have some photo edits that I’ve created of what my fankids would look like in The Amazing Digital Ruby Years AU 🌹 Here they are!!! 🤩

I'm planning on being more regularly active again this year with the blog. So gonna answer some few asks every month :") And also to get new Asks time to time...

⛥ On the 28th of each month for Jester's Day, questions will be opened all day.

This activity will be active until I can answer the vast majority of Asks in the inbox, after that, the questions will always be open. I need new questions after years with none :")

Did you know there was a Jester's Day? Lol at least in Elder Scroll, also on December 28th in Spain is celebrated something similar to April Fool. So yeah I decided that day hehe.

See ya!

I SEE SO MANY BOWS!!😍😍😍😍😍 (JOVIE MENTION) /j AND SO MANY DISNEY FIGURINES!! It's really cool!!!💥💝💥💝💥 I ALSO STILL ADMIRE THE FACT THAT YOUR DRAWINGS ARE HANGING RIGHT ON YOUR WALL!😭😭😭😭 AND LITTLE STICKERS IN THE SHAPE OF A BELL AND STUFF💞💕💞💕 OMG IT'S SO CUTE!! And more plush toys! I think I see an octopus there...💗💗💗💗💗💗 SORRY FOR THE CHATTER😭💦💦💦 I HOPE YOUR ROOM WILL GET BETTER AND BETTER AS YOU WISH!!💖❤️💖❤️💗💖❤️

/I may be mistaken, but is there a new cookie fandom drawing on the wall?...😍😋 SORRY IF I MADE A MISTAKE, IT'S ALSO VERY CUTE TBH💗💖💗💖💗💖

Bows bows bows bows bows bows ‼️‼️I love bows sm I glued one on my bed lmao 😭

Anways omg I'm so happy my room left such a big impression on you 😭 it genuinely makes me so happy HZOSJUZKAHZIAISJ I work painstakingly for it <3

The funko pops are actually the hardest for me to collect, as one costs 15€, so my collection is growing very slowly over time

I love my plushies they're my children. Fun fact, I actually only bought two of these (Stitch and the shark), the rest were either gifts or old ones from my sister

The purple one I asked a friend to give it to me because......Azul.....

The bunny is also from the same friend. It was a gift from her ex she didn't want anymore so I got it lol

And yes! You are correct! The cookie Jesus has invaded my wall, I fear the pesky blue jester will join him soon <//3 I am obsessed

Honestly I wish I could take anyone who is interested and give them a tour of my whole room irl. So many things in here have their own stories of where they came from/why I have them, it's kind of funny

Like this painting, me and my sister made it when I was a little kid, and I've still got it after all these years!

The fake money underneath it? Me and my friends found them on the ground at a park and we just took them with us lmao

Bsianzuakdhaosks sorry for the yapping I just love my room and I'm genuinely sooo proud of it 😭 it's not even done! There's so much stuff I wanna add! Like, more lights! My balcony doors DEMAN Christmas lights! And some walls are too empty and blah blah I have so many plans

Idk how to end this. Um. Turns out creating your own space is pretty cool (and I realise my room is proof of how much of an Azul kinnie I am 😭 I'm really out here collecting anything I like and putting it in my little hide out huh)

hi!!! i’m absolutely in love with this piece you made: https://www.tumblr.com/foolsturmoil/756765939293405184/run-away-to-the-woods-no-filters-under-the-cut

and i was wondering if it would be okay to draw my own masky jester doll design like you did? full credit w/ a link to yours if i post it, of course! :) just wanted to ask first to check. i really, really like the doll and think its such a fun and interesting concept! thank you :)) <3

HELL YES U CAN!!! i have so much more ideas for the jester doll i have yet to post . he is such an idea

[sketchthetofu]

Okay, deep breath in OKAY LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED- first of all, @sora-fish u asked so this is ur own doing <3! /pos and second STATIC!!!

So Static is my wonderful world hopper, but she can’t control it (wow! So original! /j) the catch is that this is a punishment she can’t remember why she got because of how many worlds she’s been in and out of, now forever doomed to hop from world to world, staying anywhere from a couple of hours to years.

With this every world she gets dumped into needs her for a specific role in its story, almost always being the role of a villain that needs to be filled, though, sometimes she gets lucky and is a sideline character or a nobody. At first she tries her hardest to keep away from being the villain, from being the awful evil person the stories want and need, but she’s never able to, she always finds herself stumbling into the role whether she wants to or not, so after many failures of changing the role she was placed in, she starts to lean into it, thinking of each world like a new game more and more as time goes on, just trying to have as much fun as she can before getting whisked away to a new world. (I got a whole list of her morals and which stages of grief she’s in each part of the story- which I could share if u want but it’s also hella long-)

Now this is where Kitchen Witch arrives in Statics story!!! KW is my beloved vigilante, think of a classic cliché high schooler has powers and decides to stop crime in their city and that’s how KWs story mostly goes :D! I’m still working on her power but rn I have her with a recipe/spell book where she writes down the ingredients of different things, brick, wood, metal, etc! And with this knowledge of how things are constructed she can build them herself from thin air. Static is able to read a story pretty quickly when she arrives in one, knowing from the style and vibe of the world that this isn’t a war torn bloody one, and so does sillier crimes and just messes around. One thing leads to another and after being rivals and enemies KW and Static somehow become friends, KW swearing to Static that she’ll figure out how to fix Statics uncontrollable world hopping, that Static doesn’t have to be a villain any longer, and Static tiredly lets her try, KWs hope and belief things will work out being infectious as Static slowly starts to hope that this is the end of the tug and pull of the universe using her, that she can stay here in KWs comfortable world. That… doesn’t last. One day while they are hanging out on a rooftop Static glitches out of existence, serving her purpose in KWs world and getting dragged to another, leaving KW alone on the rooftop where her friend used to be beside her <3. That is where KWs and Statics stories splits again! KW has her own chaos that happens without Static there (I’m creating a wonderful story for her too <3! She’s actually a wayyy older oc than Static hahaha) and Static continues to hop worlds, the next one being into my dnd campaign “Silver City” :D!!! Where there’s a whole entire MESS of lore, chaos, angst, story, you name it it’s there!!! But I can get into that next this is already… a lot… lol. And if ur still interested I’ll try my best to explain it- (This is also the campaign I’ve been working on drawing a character lineup for our group <3!)

I also got a slowly growing list of other short stories Static is a part of, “Jester to Tyrant”, “Dead Romance” etc. ;) I wanna make a multi comic book series of her adventures branching off of KWs own comics, I got arcs and everything for both of them-

As you can probably tell I love and think about my ocs like- A LOT….. hehehehe

Hi! This is my first time asking someone in Tumblr, so I don't know if this is the right place to ask or is this a place to make a request only?

But I have a question regarding tips on writing fanfic or the twisted wonderland character in general.

1) How do you write the characters personality in the fic? Do you have to do a lot of analysis characters before writing it?

2) How can you describe the moments and the vibes especially the creepy and angsty moments so well? It is as if you're in the story yourself!

3) How can you get such a good and unique ideas?

4) I love your fics! It's so amazing that I've always check up your ramblings to see new stuff! Also, you're so funny it's cute

Hi hiii!! :D this is the right place to ask all things! Thank you for your questions! I love rambling about writing, so I'm happy you're curious.

1.) I often study their canon habits and interactions to see how well that translates into yandere. In twst's context, there's a lot of potential (considering many of the cast are inspired from villains and the storylines have gotten dark on plenty of occasions). I also just enjoy analyzing characters!!!! It's so fun to look at them individually but also the dynamics and connections shared between other characters as well as their backstories and motivations. If it's a character I haven't written much of before, I'll do more research and analysis beforehand. When it comes to book 7, I've held off on spoiling myself as best as I can and diving into the plot because I want to be surprised when it comes to English. orz which is why I've yet to write anything in-depth for Silver, Lilia, and Sebek.

2.) Aaaa I'm glad it feels immersive! I look at it objectively and try to imagine what someone might do in a certain situation. It varies by character and personality, but then it's also fun to consider the various ways in which paranoia or anger or angst can take someone. I've felt raw, paralyzing fear before in the past, so sometimes I draw from my own experiences when writing those sorts of strong, all-consuming emotions! I also think the setting can help add to the overall atmosphere and feeling in a story. Using the weather to reflect emotions in characters, using the scenery to juxtapose something horrible with something happy, using the allure of various settings to add to the romance or heartbreak, etc etc. There are so many elements to a story that can be played with to get the desired emotional effect!!!

3.) I think it's just in my nature to tell stories. I adore writing and coming up with new ideas. >w< I'm always looking at things through a creative lens hehe. Most of my ideas are the product of my thinking too much or considering a simple subject in a complex light. I like being able to add unexpected twists to the plot.

4.) THANK YOUUUUU!!!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ I'm immensely flattered you would tune into my ramblings. And thank you for thinking I'm funny! This is arguably the highest compliment anyone can bestow upon me. I greatly enjoy being a court jester and making others laugh or smile. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Originally this was just me being like “The Amazing Digital Idol” that matches Miku but now that I think abt it…. This would be a neat AU! So here is who I think would be who!

✦Caine -> Teto [Teine???] (She is often portrayed as Miku’s rival and she use to be an UTAU making her slightly different just like how Caine is different from the rest.)

✦Bubble -> Fukase [Fubble? I am just makin up names for fun I don't think these would be usable for the AU >.>] (Fanon portrays him as silly. Idk it works for me!)

✦Pomni -> Miku [Mikni? Poku?? Mini??? idkkk] (Main character? Ofc it should be Miku! Also I think the pigtails really match the jester aesthetic.)

✦Ragatha -> Luka [Lukatha obviously!] (When I think of a secondary protagonist in the vocaloid fandom I think of Luka~)

✦Jax -> Kaito [Kaitx? Jaxito?] (Same reasoning as Luka. When I think of a secondary protagonist thassa guy, Kaito comes to mind!)

✦Gangle -> Rin & Len [Okay this one is too hard ._.'] (At first I thought maybe Gangle should be Teto since the pigtails remind me of her ribbons. After some thought I realized Rin and Len fit much better! They are basically the same person and Gangle wears two masks so they could just be different masks :D )

✦Zooble -> Meiko [Zooiko? orrr Meible~] (Okay this reason will be very uhhh flimsy but…. They just give me similar vibes okay :V Originally was gonna put Vflower here and I still think she fits but honestly? I just prefer putting Meiko here.)

✦Kinger -> Gackpo [Samurai! nah uh maybe Kingpo!] (Silly insane man. The description fits both. Also Queenie could be Gumi in this case :3 )

✦Kaufmo -> Vflower [VKoufwer? I give up -w-'] (Thinking of the song "Better Off Worse" by CircusP rn.)

I’ll probably do nothing with this AU but uhhh maybe one day I’ll draw all of the characters? Huge maybeeee >.<‘

I'm a sucker for your art style!

Tho i keep wondering, why you seemingly always only draw one eye. That has so much charm!!

Would also love to see your take on Mirta in witch or fairy transformation :3

UUUUUGGHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH SIA LOVE YOU 🫶🫶🫶💕💕💕

About the eyes, I know I already told you but I'll answer again anyway, I honestly don't know where it came from, one day I tried it and I got addicted, It's so fun to use just one eye, I can control the character's vision and expressions better so I prefer it that way!

And heres my Mirta!!!

Witch of Emotions

And Francis is here too!!!!

I personally think that a clown x jester would slay hard as a couple.

Thank u for the ask🫶
