(technically it's both but crown is more prominant)

[alt text: Two characters holding each other, oc: Sirestia in front of my Miraak. Both have dragon horns and tails, black arms, and are wearing some sort of transparent clothing. Gold accessories adorn horns. Gold gel pen detailing in background with big red circle behind characters.]

[edit: crying in the club coz i accidentally posted this before the draft saved so it lost ALL of the extra words I put on it]

progress pics and a lil bit of lore below

progress pics first~!

desperately trying to remember wtf i said before i accidentally nerfed my *entire* little ramble...

*something something i think i said:*

My friends will tell you I'm insane the way I continue to torture myself with lace on my characters. But I just think its neat.. and I will do it again. This is a tumblr dot com user @ lilarus promise 👍

So, some lore:

Sirestia and Miraak are bound to each other, they complete one another. Where one is the embodiment of a dragon soul fitted into a mortal form (Miraak, as dragonborn), the other is made into a more draconic entity. Miraak is made as a fusion of two beings, powerful in their own rights, while Sirestia is becomes one after being another, being a shard of Alduin. They are opposites and equals.

They're so stupid.

They're so in love they can't communicate properly. And it takes so many tries and failures and restarts to get to a stage where it's finally harmonious. Don't look at the fact that they're thousands of years old. arguably the most powerful fucking creatures on nirn. and sometimes very prone to violence. they still ask "what are we 🥺👉👈🫣"

enjoy my silly little blorbos <3

is it me or .... are people just more reluctant to follow blogs now? or maybe the RPC is just not as big as it once was and it feels that way? now, i'm not saying this is a bad thing -- after all, ppl are def free to have their boundaries and choose to write with whoever. but... i am noticing it's way harder to new blogs o' mine to gain traction. like i have blogs that practically "fail" just because nobody rly wants to interact with 'em or follow me back. HELL, when i started this blog, it actually took 3 months before i started getting new followers. for those 3 months, i only wrote with like 3 other ppl and those were friends or followers of my prev blog. and it's not a reaching out prob because like, i ACTUALLY did follow others and either never got any follow backs, or got a declined message (which that's fine too) and now this blog has a fairly good amount of followers.

but like i've had blogs that i've given up on or practically gave up on BECAUSE i have barely anyone to write with. usually it's my more niche muses with no rp scene. but like why i think this must be a new thing is because i was actually looking through my old RP graphics and i found some from a blog that was around 2016. it was another niche muse from a very old show (liek 1960s) and liek that fandom ALSO had no rp scene yet i had a "follow forever" graphic for reaching 200 followers???? that was so long ago that i don't remember much on that blog, but to see i had that many followers is just surprising. that's liek half the followers i have here.

and it just makes me wonder if people have just become more reluctant? more reluctant to follow and more reluctant to get out of "comfort zones" and write with characters they're not as familiar with? which again! is ok. if somebody wants to keep writing with characters they know, that's fine. but it does get a lil disappointing when you have ideas and they virtually go nowhere due to disinterest. it also just makes me wonder why things seem to have changed. is it due to how toxic the rpc became? is it bc the rpc in general is less active? is it because ppl just decide to stick to familiar canons / ocs 'cos that's more fun to them? hmm.

i guess to end this on a final note is that... personally, i care about muses but i don't care about them at the same time. like the whole reason i LOVE RPing and why i did it in the first place isn't to write with certain characters, it's to place my silly blorbos into situations -- it doesn't matter WHAT situation it is. it doesn't matter if we're doing "tails gets trolled" style rps and crossovers. my goal is to have batshit insane fun with other people. that's why i do follow muses from canons i've never heard of. it's also why i struggle to fill in interest checkers or when a mutli asks "what muse do you wanna write with?" because frankly? i'd be happy to write with ANY muse. like you can throw any muse at me, and i'm happy. oc? canon? niche canon? unfamiliar canon? i want it all.

hello silly little question!!! make up a superpower based on one of ur blorbos

hi hello i forgot to answer this WHOOPS!!!! my bad

anyway i want to cheat and pick one of eden's. it's cheating because he's a d&d character so his powers are d&d spells n' shit.

anyway uhh a fun power for eden is his ability to like. infuse ordinary objects with magic. he can do that as part of his artificer stuff and it's fun!!!! my favorite thing he can do, out of that batch, is his ability to create a tiny homunculus buddy for himself.

his homunculus looks just like him bit like. a little shadowy him. with big ol' purple eyes and a very fluffy tail.

i really wanna draw him holding ups his homunculus excitedly and saying, "HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR!!!!!" while the lil guy does a cute pose <3
