These are my guys 🥰 I'm so thankful for this piece!

Commissioned fun illustration of client's Warhammer OCs. Turns out, even technopriestesses are susceptible to romantic feelings. 😁

no but seriously the whole david thing was so fucked up, and it's especially wild how it comes right after book 19 and cassie's deal with aftran, where we are shown the "humanity" of the evil brain slugs, and then right afterward we get three books showing just how evil these kids have become just by virtue of the way they've been forced to fight (do you think they'd turned fourteen yet, when they exiled a kid their age, because they'd forcibly recruited him just as they'd been recruited, and he didn't handle it like they did?)

This has been sitting in my ask box for a bit because I wanted to fact check my memories but woof. I don't know that I would have handled David any better at 14 or now for that matter.

Especially after the Saddler incident. Like we saw some humanity from a Yeerk in book 19 and then some REAL Yeerk behavior in David choosing to steal this poor kid's identity and life--literally throwing him down an elevator shaft to finish him off. Not just any kid either--Jake and Rachel's cousin. Their obnoxious cousin who sucked but still. Their flesh and blood family.

The thing that really gets me about The Solution is, at the end of the day, it's Cassie's plan. Cassie, the kindest most empathetic member of the group, is forced to use that empathy with brutal efficiency to figure out how to play emotional chess with this fellow kid huge amoral liability and it works. It works exactly according to plan.

But she has to live with that. Cassie, the tree hugger, the vegetarian, the one who was willing to sacrifice her life for one stranger three books ago has to live with the knowledge that she did this (knowing full well what the lifespan is of a rat as opposed to a human boy) and she has to live with that knowledge for a long, long time.

Anyway I don't know about evil, but ruthless? Oh yeah.

You can find Bais for anything but tequila sunrise here and here!:>

Anyways EEEEEEE thank you Lee!>w<♡ feeding my obsessions fr fr

Caipirinha- What does your oc's voice sound like?

Chocolate Martini- Do they refrence anything?

Mai Tai- What was their childhood?

Tequila Sunrise- What are their hobbies?

Baí

Tequila Sunrise

Baí enjoys any and all things fashion, he both learns about it but also makes his own as a pass time. That also led him down the path of collecting vintage items as well as fashion magazines, he has a couple stacks from his favourite models one of which is Adrien Allard actually:)

Yes he also makes theater costumes as well as historical garments so bro does know the difference between Regency and Roccoco fashion.

I do also imagine him dabbling in cosmetics especially making his own! Would flip if you'd let him do your make up ngl-

Arthur

Caipirinha

I'm torn on Arthur on one hand I love him with these super soft almost feminine voice, like the og French singer of that song "La seine and moi" from a monster in Paris.

But on the other hand him with a deep ass morning voice tho-

Either way he would probably always sound sleepy, lots of yawning and words kinda getting slurred. His speech pattern is just very mumbly he stumbles over his words A LOT, tends to be really quiet and soft spoken.

But his tone cane be sharp and ice cold when he wants it to be as well as completely unhinged-

Chocolate Martini

In his more recent design he does not refrence much, the coat tail of his lab coat is meant to vaguely allude to butterfly wings as well as having several gold butterfly accessories for funsies!

His overall attire is just more work appropriate for doing mad scientist shenanigans.

Mai Tai

Bro doesn't have one.

He was born and raised his brother when he was barely out of diapers himself, then his sister was dumped on him to, not to mention the family legacy that he was meant to surpass.

A bloody massacre they called a legacy.

When he wasn't playing the parent he was studying, or working or doing extra activities on behalf of his parents and or siblings and of course looking for a therapist on speed dial once bro turned 18 and had a bank account-

Tequila Sunrise

Well science is Arthur's profession,hobby and life passion it brings him genuine joy to work and learn but he definitely has other interests outside of that.

He likes cooking, it's science but edible!-^- and he can make a few dishes from a variety of cuisines!

He also studies a lot about other cultures, mainly things such as mythology,folktales,legends and the likes! It relaxes him and feels him with giddy wonder!

Klara

Caipirinha

I always imagine a boisterous lil girl who almost yells out 90% of her sentences, very cute and high pitched! But also big on emotion like you can tell when she is angry, when her voice cracks or when it shakes with fear.

But in the rare quiet moments she has it can be soft,comforting even it will fill you with joy when you hear it because you know it's okay now.

Also a very casual way of speech, she definitely has an accent that she got by imitating Adrien and his way of talking!

Chocolate Martini

As stated in Mings post him and Klara refrence each other but she is also based on old sona designs of mine as she is my very first oc and used to be my persona,(hence why she also shares a resemblance to Duppel, my current human sona).

Mai Tai

As Klara is still a kid her childhood is still in full swing though for her age a lot has happened, while being in a very privileged and loving household Klara is sick and fragile, often having to spend a lot of time in hospitals.

For that reason she also is homeschooled now, though because just like her dad she is a child genius and genuinely needs way more challenging education already just to be kept busy.

And of course there is a lot of pressure to not just live up to but surpass both her folks, and a lot of it doesn't just come from outside parties but from herself.

She already sees herself as a burden, not being able to carry such a legacy would be unacceptable.

Tequila Sunrise

Klara has looooots of different interests, she is one of those kids that tries everything but hey at least some have stuck around!

She is really into robotics, tinkering with machines and scrap junk she finds around her dads lab, a lot of their toys are things made by her!

Astrology and stargazing is also something she likes, she doesn't belive that strongly on stuff like horoscopes but it's very fun to research for her, her and her dad also bond over the learning mythology and stories behind star constellations!

Lastly there is reading, she can't really sit still most days but when her health is so bad she physically can't do anything else getting lost in another world is a better alternative than rotting in bed. Her favourite genre are sci-fi and Fantasy!:D

Katie

Caipirinha

Katie has a very soft spoken voice, a little meek and hushed but definitely feminine and just as comforting as it is haunting to listen to. Probably also has a slight French accent as she is more used to speaking that language!

And when she was a kid she had a lisp no doubt.

You also don't hear a lot of emotion in her tone, always very calm and composed, her manner of speech is very proper but she definitely speaks as few words as possible when people she is not that comfortable with are in the room.(she doesn't say anything when strangers are around-)

Chocolate Martini

Much of what applies to Klara also applies here just with the addition that Katie was deliberately designed to be her sisters opposite but also her compliment while making sure the two of them are their own distinct characters.

They look their best together but are also great on their own!

Mai Tai

Katie had a lot of issues growing up, she has switched schools A LOT both because of behavioural issues and because she was ostracised and even bullied by some of her classmates.

If she was real unlucky teachers would even disdain her.

Also having a sister who's as fragile as a dried up leaf compared to you made her put a lot of pressure on herself to "not be a bother" and just bottle up a lot of her issues, by the time her parents caught on the damage has already been done.

Despite that her own family loves her just asuch as she loves them and as youngest she is DEFINITELY spoiled rotten just a little bit.

Tequila Sunrise

She has lots of hobbies! Art for one, painting can let her express a lot the emotions she keeps inside, not to mention it's quiet and doesn't overwhelm her, very good when she is stressed or overwhelmed.

Aside from that she is learning ballet, and even figure skating, she is a little bit of a diva who loves the stage but it's another art form that let's her express herself with her body! Plus it's fun!

Very into classical music, I can see her playing string instruments like a harp or something lol maybe even piano with her dad.

She also considers sparing with her mother a hobby, they smash things together!

[naturewivesmybeloved]

Well now I want more of your nw headcanons bc they sound so cool and i specifically mean season two bc s2 is so<3 (I do love s1 dont get me wrong)

Also any Katherine / Shelby headcanons thats unrelated will be accepted too

(/nf)

Let’s see, Katherine now loves the rain because it makes her think of Shelby and Shelby loves the moon because it makes her think of Katherine.

Katherine gives major Demi-romantic vibes ( the festival and whole “I’m not really into anyone right now” thing) also her whole curse thing feels like a allegory for being closeted. Gem and Katherine are super close, practically sisters!

Shelby later In witchcraft just one hundred percent adopts Pris. She also when really lonely has vented to tortoise and cried hugging him. She also gives the vibe that she would get really intimidated by Gem, Given her Friendship with Katherine and how close they are.

That’s all I can come up with off the top of my head, but if you want I could probably come up with more!

Taking a risk by eating unidentified berries+running from a wild animal + World of the Coinless; Rocky, Aisha, Kat~

Sure sure sure!

21.) Taking a risk by eating unidentified berries.

42.) Running from a wild animal.

~

They're in the woods on a mission. It's been a long and hard mission for all of them, they've been out in the middle of nowhere for a week straight. Their food had run out, their water source was now polluted since they'd had to wash some sort of chemical off of them.

Kat goes down first. Hunger pains and dehydration get her. She's half starved and can barely stand. Rocky and Aisha only give each other a glance before they decide to make camp and stay for a few days.

Rocky goes down next, bitten by some poisonous bug and having to sleep off the sickness it brings. Aisha doesn't hesitate to go into the forest and scavenge for whatever she can make do with.

She regrets it almost immediately.

Aisha finds some berries in the forest that are the right color to eat, but she doesn't quite know them. They aren't hollyberries, so she figures they're safe enough, but still. She dares to nibble on one before she takes them back to Kat and Rocky. It tastes sweet, a little bitter when she swallows it down.

A crack echoes behind her and Aisha whips around. Something growls in the bushes. Aisha let's out a terrified yelp and gathers her supplies. Ripping off a bundle of the berries, Aisha rushes away.

She bolts past the trail she left to find her way back to camp, running as far away as she can before she turns back and finds the animal is gone.

Aisha breathes a sigh of relief and begins to backtrack her steps, heedless of the brown eyes watching her steps with fondness as she goes.

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

Hi!!! Thank you so much!!!

Arabella (and this goes for Arabella Cousland too because I am that kind of autistic but this is unfortunately just a Witcher blog) courts in a very interesting manner, in that she's never Intentionally courted someone she just kind of manages to do so by existing and has No idea how to ACTUALLY woo someone. So instead what you get is an autistic noble woman who thinks that rambling about frogs and poisons is how you woo a man and it works for her! It got her a husband! Radovid is absolutely smitten with her! But it really works because she's SO pretty she's Foltest's daughter, she looks just like him, and he's also So So Pretty.

Lyonors ALSO courts through infodumping, HOWEVER it is INTENTIONAL unlike Arabella. She also courts through just, being a menace (read: being physically affectionate). Morvran never stood a chance she treated him like a person first and he's never had that before. It's not about romance for romance sake it's about the intimacy of I Love You and WILL find a way to tell you despite words being hard for me so here's 20 facts about axolotls and of course I'll listen to you talk about horses your face lights up with joy when you do.

The newest one however is Kathrin and she is a very traditional kind of courter because she's not courting through love, it's to gain more power. You see every stop in the noble lady's books when she goes to court Stennis. When you think Medieval courtship her picture is right there. I love her so much.

[poisonschild]

it's not bad to ask your friends for help. they probably want to help you! and if they don't they should not hate you for asking

as the designated sober friend™️ I love giving my friends safe rides home. I love you! I want you to be safe! I will pick you up in the morning with coffee and take you to your car!

I want to watch your pets while you're gone. I would love to help you move. Of course I will drive you to the airport. No I don't expect anything in return, I know you would do the same for me

if y'all really want to start your gay communes you're going to need to learn to lean on people and to let others lean on you.

Women's Not So Distant History

This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and weren’t acquired by asking nicely and waiting. We need to fight for our rights. Here's are a few examples:

📍 Before 1974's Fair Credit Opportunity Act made it illegal for financial institutions to discriminate against applicants' gender, banks could refuse women a credit card. Women won the right to open a bank account in the 1960s, but many banks still refused without a husband’s signature. This allowed men to continue to have control over women’s bank accounts. Unmarried women were often refused service by financial institutions entirely.

📍 Before 1977, sexual harassment was not considered a legal offense. That changed when a woman brought her boss to court after she refused his sexual advances and was fired. The court stated that her termination violated the 1974 Civil Rights Act, which made employment discrimination illegal.⚖️

📍 In 1969, California became the first state to pass legislation to allow no-fault divorce. Before then, divorce could only be obtained if a woman could prove that her husband had committed serious faults such as adultery. 💍By 1977, nine states had adopted no-fault divorce laws, and by late 1983, every state had but two. The last, New York, adopted a law in 2010.

📍In 1967, Kathrine Switzer, entered the Boston Marathon under the name "K.V. Switzer." At the time, the Amateur Athletics Union didn't allow women. Once discovered, staff tried to remove Switzer from the race, but she finished. AAU did not formally accept women until fall 1971.

📍 In 1972, Lillian Garland, a receptionist at a California bank, went on unpaid leave to have a baby and when she returned, her position was filled. Her lawsuit led to 1978's Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which found that discriminating against pregnant people is unlawful

📍 It wasn’t until 2016 that gay marriage was legal in all 50 states. Previously, laws varied by state, and while many states allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples, it created a separate but equal standard. In 2008, California was the first state to achieve marriage equality, only to reverse that right following a ballot initiative later that year. 

📍In 2018, Utah and Idaho were the last two states that lacked clear legislation protecting chest or breast feeding parents from obscenity laws. At the time, an Idaho congressman complained women would, "whip it out and do it anywhere,"

📍 In 1973, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to safe legal abortion in Roe v. Wade. At the time of the decision, nearly all states outlawed abortion with few exceptions. In 1965, illegal abortions made up one-sixth of all pregnancy- and childbirth-related deaths. Unfortunately after years of abortion restrictions and bans, the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022. Since then, 14 states have fully banned care, and another 7 severely restrict it – leaving most of the south and midwest without access. 

📍 Before 1973, women were not able to serve on a jury in all 50 states. However, this varied by state: Utah was the first state to allow women to serve jury duty in 1898. Though, by 1927, only 19 states allowed women to serve jury duty. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 gave women the right to serve on federal juries, though it wasn't until 1973 that all 50 states passed similar legislation

📍 Before 1988, women were unable to get a business loan on their own. The Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 allowed women to get loans without a male co-signer and removed other barriers to women in business. The number of women-owned businesses increased by 31 times in the last four decades.

📍 Before 1965, married women had no right to birth control. In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Supreme Court ruled that banning the use of contraceptives violated the right to marital privacy.

📍 Before 1967, interracial couples didn’t have the right to marry. In Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court found that anti-miscegenation laws were unconstitutional. In 2000, Alabama was the last State to remove its anti-miscegenation laws from the books.

📍 Before 1972, unmarried women didn’t have the right to birth control. While married couples gained the right in 1967, it wasn’t until Eisenstadt v. Baird seven years later, that the Supreme Court affirmed the right to contraception for unmarried people.

📍 In 1974, the last “Ugly Laws” were repealed in Chicago. “Ugly Laws” allowed the police to arrest and jail people with visible disabilities for being seen in public. People charged with ugly laws were either charged a fine or held in jail. ‘Ugly Laws’ were a part of the late 19th century Victorian Era poor laws. 

📍 In 1976, Hawaii was the last state to lift requirements that a woman take her husband’s last name.  If a woman didn’t take her husband’s last name, employers could refuse to issue her payroll and she could be barred from voting. 

📍 It wasn’t until 1993 that marital assault became a crime in all 50 states. Historically, intercourse within marriage was regarded as a “right” of spouses. Before 1974, in all fifty U.S. states, men had legal immunity for assaults their wives. Oklahoma and North Carolina were the last to change the law in 1993.

📍  In 1990, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) – most comprehensive disability rights legislation in U.S. history – was passed. The ADA protected disabled people from employment discrimination. Previously, an employer could refuse to hire someone just because of their disability.

📍 Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. Their fashion statement ultimately led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants. 

📍 Emergency contraception (Plan B) wasn't approved by the FDA until 1998. While many can get emergency contraception at their local drugstore, back then it required a prescription. In 2013, the FDA removed age limits & allowed retailers to stock it directly on the shelf (although many don’t).

📍  In Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the Supreme Court ruled that anti-cohabitation laws were unconstitutional. Sometimes referred to as the ‘'Living in Sin' statute, anti-cohabitation laws criminalize living with a partner if the couple is unmarried. Today, Mississippi still has laws on its books against cohabitation.

It sounds like Beth might have a replace of Kathrine in the Arsenal team, that makes me sad
