Sorry for the lack of any posts in forever. BG3 + I've been struggling to draw much that isn't just messy sketches.

Speaking of which - here's a few of my BG3 characters from the past few months!

Time For Tea: Introduction

Lavender Haze ( Violet Kingsleigh & Cian Hearts ) has now been merged with Long Live The Queen ( Queenie Hearts & Ace Hearts & Maria Frollo & Helena ) to create a clusterfuck political intrigue series, and several more Wonderland characters have been added to the mix

PS: huge thanks to @cecexwrites @ginevrastilinski-ocs @the-witching-ash for listening to me completely lose my mind and jump all over the place as I figured this out!

The OGs

Ace Hearts [ Curran Walters ] – Long Live The Queen; son of the Queen Of Hearts, Queenie's left hand man & chief enforcer

Cian Hearts [ Gavin Leatherwood ] – Lavender Haze; son of the Queen Of Hearts, invited to the isle because reports say that the child of the Queen of Hearts is running the Isle and they assume it must be her son

Helena [ Tegan Croft ] – Long Live The Queen; daughter of Hades & Persephone, Queenie's right hand man, and other chief enforcer

Maria Frollo [ Elle Fanning ] – Long Live The Queen; daughter of Judge Frollo, grew up locked in his tower and has only recently been freed and brought to Crims, manages Crims

Queenie Hearts [ Madison Davenport ] – Long Live The Queen; daughter of the Queen Of Hearts, unofficial Queen of the Isle, runs her crew with an iron fist and military precision

Violet Kingsleigh [ Meg Donnelly ] – Lavender Haze; daughter of Alice & The Hatter, heir to Wonderland, goes to Auradon because Wonderland suspects Auradon of poisoning the White Queen

The Wonderland Crew

Caoilinn Whittemore [ Florence Pugh ] – daughter of the White Knight & Violet’s personal guard; goes to Auradon with Violet

Arley Whitaker [ Tom Holland ] – son of the White Rabbit & Violet’s personal secretary / manager / wrangler; goes to Auradon with Violet

Chelsey Chester [ Rowan Blanchard ] – daughter of the Cheshire Cat

Tenney Earwick [ Jack Wolfe ] – son of the March Hare

Mallaidh Merrick [ Mary Mouser ] – daughter of the Dormouse

Deirdra Taggart [ Ella Hunt ] – daughter of Tweedle Dee

Deryn Taggart [ Joe Keery ] – son of Tweedle Dee

Duncan Taggart [ Joe Keery ] – son of Tweedle Dum

The Isle Crew

Neasa Kearney [ Kaia Gerber ] – daughter of the Red Queen, runs recruitment & orientation for the crew

Caitria Devlin [ Billie Lourd ] – daughter of the Duchess, crew manager

Keira Knave [ Alba Baptista ] – daughter of the Knave of Hearts, combat trainer

Killian Knave [ Freddy Carter ] – son of the Knave Of Hearts, combat trainer for the crew

Shiloh Reece [ Emilia Jones ] – daughter of the Cook, medic

Bonus – existing ocs who have been added to Time For Tea as part of Queenie's crew

Nettie Tremaine [ Peyton Elizabeth Lee ] – daughter of Anastasia Tremaine, medic

Raisa Rasputin [ Sophia Ann Caruso ] – daughter of Rasputin, barge day coordinator, collector

Rini Bing [ Jenna Ortega ] – daughter of Herman Bing / The Ringmaster, crew manager

Savina Stromboli [ Diana Silvers ] – daughter of Stromboli, collector

Winona Sykes [ Milly Alcock ] – daughter of Bill Sykes, head of inventory

( now need to decide if the existing ocs added to Time For Tea should keep their current titles or become part of Long Live The Queen )

Omg I have to say, I REALLY love Neasa's whole vibe. I'm a sucker for big noses but with the dark eyes, and that little smudge of purple under the eyes? Absolutely gorgeous

And Ivory looks FEISTY, she looks like she's about to try and bite someone

Everyone should show me their Lady Durges

I want to see all of the bleak, violent, seductive, ragefilled, aggressive, mournful women in all their glory. Resist Durge, Obedient Durge, hates Bhaal or loves Bhaal, found love and new purpose amongst the companions or pining hopelessly for the life they lost

Give them to me

All three of my active Courtiers!

Bláithín, Knight of Sinews, leads a notoriously brutal splinter faction of the Court. It had already garnered a fearsome reputation before Mordremoth, but the mystique surrounding its return from the jungle - changed, but unscathed - led to its seizing power in the vacuum that Faolain left behind. Bláithín will be the first to tell you that it is very much the same sylvari it always was; it can simply do everything it always wanted now, and then some. It would also be more than happy to show you this. With consent, of course.

Neasa is considered a ward of the Court. The price she paid for power left her rather incapacitated - but having a swarm of wasps at one's beck and call can be quite useful indeed. She doesn't have the presence of mind to have her pets help her climb the ranks, however, and seems rather content to wander off on her own, with her thoughts and senses dulled by the thrum of hundreds of little wings.

Siofra, Knight of Broken Hearts, gained notoriety by seducing and disposing of several of her rivals - though thanks to her chronomantic ability, no one seems to remember who these unfortunate sylvari were...

I know it's like almost 2am my time so a lot of people are asleep but uh, I love hearing about other people's ocs and I've been thinking about the nightmare court so I wanna hear about y'alls courtiers

This is a free invitation to use this post to tell me about your nightmare courtiers, ex courtiers, and their courts 👉👈 so please tell me about them, share as much or as little as you want

Some behind the scenes thoughts about the narrative structure and names in my story, Shattered:

To use eventually in my story, Shattered, I drew Rory -- Lena's 7 year-old child alter, who speaks only in sign language. I made this decision partly due to my own experiences, but also because in the show Lena has a lot of neurodiverse traits.

Rory is a pretty common Irish name, and Katie has said in an interview that is her younger brother's name (it's also listed as her brother's name in every article I could find about her family). The traditional way of spelling would be with an 'i' instead of a 'y,' but based on the research I did, it seems Katie uses the 'y' spelling. It's the angelized form of the name Ruaidhrí, which means "red king" in Old Irish. Her other alters all have Irish names or descriptive terms (at least until the Alter reveals their name). I did this on purpose because I love Irish names, and I'm very much pro-Irish!Lena.

For example, Kieran, the protective alter and the one that revealed herself to Lena in journal entries so Lena wouldn't feel alone or scared, is Lena Luthor's canon middle name. This is an angelized form of Ciarán, which in turn is derived from the Irish Gaelic word for 'black.' In Irish legend, Ciar was a son of Fergus mac Róich and Medb; he became the ancestor of the tribe of the Ciarraige (after whom County Kerry is named). Seán is Katie's older brother's name, and that one is a variant of John. To go back further, John is derived from Old Hebrew words such as Chanan which means 'to be gracious, to have mercy, to show favor.' Whether this name is used in my fic is for readers to find out. ;) Some other names I may utilize:

Lorcán which derives from Old Irish word lorcc for fierce.

Líadan, which derives from Old Irish for 'grey.' (Legends tell of a poet who missed her lover Cuirithir so much she died of grief.)

Neasa or Níassa, which derives from Old Irish for 'uncertain' or 'not-gentle'. (Legend has it, she was the mother of Conchobhar, and she tricks her second husband into giving up his kingdom to her son to rule temporarily for a year. She then helped him rule so astutely that the people demanded he be their permanent ruler.)

I debated on using too many 'L' names mostly because Lena in my tale -- due to her trauma -- has chosen to pit herself opposite of the Luthor family. So choosing "L" names would play too much into going with them instead of against. Part of her development is building herself up so that her actions become less about being opposite, and more about doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

Naming alters can be helpful to identify who fronts, but also to build up trust and safety with them. Alters will often have a name for themselves, which should be honored if so.

I'll likely draw all the alters at some point. The one above is based off a photo of Katie sitting like this by a Christmas tree.

I wrote Lena with DID because of how she slips in and out of personas to fit specific situations and her goals in that situation.

She has tremendous trauma, tends to compartmentalize into boxes, and so her having dissociation of some sort seemed highly probable especially based on some of her behaviors in the show.

She shows her trauma right from the beginning with specific things she says that reveal just how wounded she is by her past and the Luthor family. I extrapolated from that.

This is a very personal fic that touches upon things I experience as well, and I wanted to write a fic that is a positive representation for DID. I poured my soul into this fic. After a lot of soul-searching, unleashed it onto AO3 because if it helped me to write it, maybe it'll help others to read it.

The fic as a whole is written in draft form, but I edit and rewrite sections so it all flows well before I post the chapter.

I play with the narrative a lot in this fic.

The narrative is made of three POVs: 1. Lena and her alters, 2. Kara (and her other selves), 3. Sam.

I weave each POV with the present day conflict and a "Tale" that is a look into their backstory and how that ripples forward into the present. I admit, I hyper-focus on details for not only immersion sake, but also to lay out clues. Sometimes I'll play with how I lay out a chapter to emphasize a theme.

For example, in chapter seven, take a look at the last two sentences of the POV, and note how words for that sentence will appear at the starting sentence of the following POV. I'm using a ghazal-like tactic common to Arabic poetry to weave threads of a tale; I did this because I wanted to juxtaposition Sam's experience with Reign with Lena and her alters.

So there's details like that hidden in this narrative. The poetic language I draw upon for some segments is endemic of how I portray mind-stuff in all my writings (see my excerpt of my original fiction here for an example). I like how poetic language gives a scene a more surreal feel, which can be helpful for digging into trauma in a less triggering way.

Anyway, the narrative structure I use for this tale is a bit of an experiment, I admit.

One might even say it's a superhero/trauma version of Chancer's Canterbury tales, if the storytellers were just three people on a journey of healing together.

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the behind the scenes peek.

J'ai un nouveau projet d'illustrations en cours. Donc amusons-nous, ça va être long. L'idée est de représenter les quatre personnalités de certains des mes personnages (la personnalité publique, la personnalité avec les proches, la personnalité qu'on garde pour soi et la personnalité si profondément enfouie que nous-même on l'ignore).

Ici j'ai fait la personnalité publique de Kelis et la personnalité intime de Neasa.

Killian & Keira lore please?

So! Killian & Keira Knave are the combat trainers for the crew, and the children of the Knave Of Hearts

Killian is one of the oldest VKs on the isle, at least 2-3 years older than Queenie & Ace & Cian, Keira is the same age as the triplets. They grew up in Crims and have been by the triplets' side since they were kids. They never really liked Mal, especially Killian who couldn't stand her, but they stayed loyal to Queenie even back when she was part of Mal's crew.

Killian has always been closest to Ace, also close with Cian but especially Ace (aside from Queenie, Killian is also Ace's best friend), and the two can almost always be found on the training grounds together or out on the isle enforcing Queenie's rules, and Keira is closest with Neasa & Caitria

Keira has a shorter temper than Killian, she's quick to pass judgement and solves her problems efficiently and violently. Killian is more calculated, willing to wait for the perfect moment to strike and has a good instinct for when that moment is.

As such, Keira is one of Queenie's favourite fighters, someone she'll send to deal with someone or something that has become an issue and needs to be stopped, while Killian is one of her most trusted advisors, his opinion meaning far more to her than she likes to let on

idk what else yet 😅
