[ajastu]

decided to touch up (read: basically redraw) some pics from noel's very first intro post by. very messily drawing right over it FDKGLD:FGk ill..........decide what to do abt the style clash problem when i get to it...

[valgeristik]

i dont think he remembers what a normal meal is, nor does he care

[valgeristik]

i know the end of twilight princess kinda implied Link doesnt go back to his old life n thats a very interesting concept in its own way but. what if......

Ничего не останется от нас, Нам останемся, в лучшем случае, мы

hi. hello. listen to this song

i have so many thoughts about these two. oh my god. maybe i will write it out some day, but for now drawing it out will do

translation will be under the cut! knowing the words does add to the work so i do recommend reading it. or just enjoy the art <3

heres the translation, color coded according to how i broke it up for the art. just in casies

first page:

Love is scarier than war

Love strikes more true than steel

second page:

More true, because of your own volition

third page:

You run towards all the winds

Let there be pain and eternal battle

Not atmospheric, not earthly

fourth page:

But definitely with you

caption:

There will be nothing left of us,

we will be left with, in the best case, ourselves

This is why i think a grey warden Rook doesn't comment on the blight/darkspawn in the mission where you meet Bellara. They forgor <3

^ this is from my very first post on the topic, and i still think most of this applies. maybe i went too far with the architect part tho but it was funny in the moment

But this is what i mean by calling him 'man with every job'. it was really funny to me how he does many errands for people all over the place in the games, and i want this to translate. hence, he's the guy who can fix your broken chair. and build a shed. and drive. etc. most useful neighbor to have

what field did he get a PhD in, u ask? entomology. he was like 'man, i wish i could get paid for lookign at bugs all day'. and well...

if u really think about it, ull see my vision

As for Zelda... I think she spent a lot of time being pressured by her father to get the best grades n nothing less, and then to get into a good college etc, leading to many nervous breakdowns and other. Issues.

By the time she's about 23 the relationship becomes less strained, there's less pressure from his side, and in any case it was fine, really, he just wanted a good future for her, really, so- Point is, she wants to keep a good relationship with her father despite All That. Link still fucking hates the guy tho If her dad is the only one getting burnt food at the new years party, it was an accident and no one can prove anything <3

and i think she'd be in the engineering field. it just. feels right i dont think theyre actually married. yet

when you put ur mind to it. u can draw so many links, it turns out, Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser List

So um. dragon age once more has a firm grip on me. to no ones surprise.

Made my Rook a grey warden for funsies because i was like. lalala how fun would it be if they were my DAO warden's (adopted) kid! And then the rest of the game happened. And also turns out i rly like grey wardens. Who would have thought.

Anyway, fun bits abt the thoughts behind this art + general backstory + (gender-neutral) babygirl compilation under the cut

Now, about the art. During the character creator screen i was like. wouldnt it be fun to give them the lightning-looking scars as like, a remnant of some magical-experimentation-gone-wrong accident.

So their name is Zea Surana-Thorne 🤗 Lora (dao warden) would have found them sometime during the events of DAO in one of the darkspawn-razed villages along the way. Cue the 'dad with a cat he said he didnt want' thing happening, but it's "the child she said she cant afford to be taking care of". I have some art abt that ill post later. They would have been about 5.

I see Zea as a sort of...very bright-eyed idealist kind of person. Which is why they go behind their mama's back to become a grey warden, just like her <3

Lora was 100% against that decision, but it's not like u can unblight someone after the joining, so...

And then i realized that in-game i was using an item with the following description CONSTANTLY:

And finally. the babygirl compilation

And it just fits so well, u know? All that practice paid off!🤗

If i was a venatori id jump off a cliff

[valgeristik]

sometimes i remember the family situation i gave Aino n i just think its really funny, in hindsight. Fucker had devil connections this Whole Time???
