Okay, but the real question is, how MANY songs would Joffery have in a Medieval musical? =OO (And would he have any attempted songs that get interrupted for comedy?)

Yes.

(I mean, given that he had ~10 songs in the non-musical version, I can only imagine he'd be singing every line of dialogue if he can help it XD)

This is my OC, Corinne Bywater 🍺

I created her a few years ago for the Medieval RP in the NTWF, but I had never drawn her until now, so it was way overdue!

[tigerwriter]

Oops I got Fire Emblem: Heroes on my phone and remembered that I wanted to draw chibi-versions of my knights =D Starting from top-left: Markus, Alden, Brandt, Desmond, Jamison, Tanner, and then a bonus Leif, and a bonus and Cai and Tamir. Don't necesarilly take size comparisons literally (except in Tanner's case, he is purposely kinda short); I did quite a few of these on separate nights and didn't realize I should be checking them for consistent size until considerably later in.

Aldrich - U

For some people, coming home was a release; it was a place that meant relaxation, or freedom, or stability and safety. For some, coming home was synonymous with returning to your own self, a place to briefly withdraw, not out of cowardice or selfishness, but simply to reflect and to revive. For others, coming home meant returning to people you loved, people that you felt you had loved longer than your own lifetime, longer than you could ever have dreamed of possibly knowing them. For some people, home was far less any place than it was a particular feeling, a feeling of belonging, of rightness, a deep, sweeping rush of relief, and peace, and warmth, and love. A feeling that filled the heart, the mind, the whole body, reaching the tips of your fingers and the heels of your feet against the ground to whisper, “I am here. You are here. We are precisely where we need to be.”

“AAAAAUGH!”

Sometimes coming home meant a sweeping rush of sudden stone birds to the face, or gargoyles exuberantly explaining extremely questionable discoveries, or someone running to tell you that one of your sculptures had caused a fire down in the kitchen.

Coming home could mean many things, many things, or also everything at once.

Repostober day 6: Medieval characters! Medieval was a roleplay that ultimately turned into a massive collaborative universe that was maybe too expansive for its own good, lol. Anyway, Magerage (left) was a maingame NPC I frequently forgot about, and Peter (right) was a postgame NPC who took over my brain for like two years straight. I had a lot of fun drawing them.

[petfriendamy]

Tried something wacky where I rolled a random character, put my music on shuffle, then tried to draw the character before the song was over. It’s possible I cheated on a couple because drawing that quickly is hard! Especially when you’re me and you decide “LET’S DO A COMPLICATED POSE IN FIVE MINUTES”

Inktober 2018 — “Breakable”

I smudged it and messed up her dress oh nooo

[ginzlovesart]

Speaking of OCs, though, here’s a character lineup! Maybe I’ll color it one day, but I’m not sure XD;

From left to right: Corinne Bywater, Lindsey Lukas, Ginz I. Mahb Maphia, Madame Ginz, Danielle, Dossier Dame, and Itzel Romero

All these characters were created for NTWF roleplay games, and I wasn’t too creative with names the first couple of times ^^;

[tigerwriter]

Cai! And then feel free to answer for anyone else, it was really hard to choose.

Full Name: Cai ShaharGender and Sexuality: Male, and straight...I think? I could also see him being demisexual.Pronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: Human. His ethnicity, though, is totally up in the air. I initially headcanoned he might have some Kinean in him, because that was the only place we seemed to have similar skin/hairtones for a while. But now there’re a bunch of other places where those could come from, so who knows, really? XPBirthplace and Birthdate: Seguier, Courdon, October 14th, 1281. He celebrates his birthday on August 22nd because he doesn’t actually know his birthdate, and even made just a lucky guess on the year.

Guilty PleasuresHmm...I don’t know about guilty pleasures, though I guess I could see him liking trying different kinds of foods, and that wouldn’t be something he really shares (because Cai’s bad at sharing things).

FearsLike most of my character’s Cai’s afraid of losing the people he cares about. Fun stuff \ o / He’s also definitely afraid of somehow being recognized and hauled back to Courdon; it’s not always an entirely logical fear, and he often knows that, but that doesn’t stop it from showing up.When he and Ophee’s relationship gets more serious, I imagine he has some - also not entirely logical - fears about the burns and scarring from his slave years bothering Ophelia, but dude your face is a worse mess and she likes you already. What a doof. I imagine they resolve this fairly quickly.

What They Would Be Famous ForHmm, I dunno - he’s not the only slave who’s escaped and done cool stuff, and he’s hardly the only good fireknight, but uh. If he was famous for anything, it would be one of those two, probably.

What They Would Get Arrested ForRunning away from the Armels? =D

OC You Ship Them WithNot my OC, but his canon girlfriend Ophelia!

OC Most Likely To Murder ThemValerian Armel for sure would want Cai dead if he knew he was still alive. Luckily I imagine he never finds that out.

Favorite Movie/Book GenreProbably likes a “good guys overthrowing an evil regime” plot. Animal stories are probably something he likes, too. So long as his least favorite cliche isn’t involved...

Least Favorite Movie/Book ClicheDon’t kill the animals in the animal stories! DDD8

Talents and/or PowersReally good with animals; animals seem to like him and he’s actually pretty decent at reading their body language, which helps. He has some conditioning to high heat from growing up in an iron refinery, which is helpful for a fireknight. He’s been trained as a fireknight and so has the expected weapons, combat, and phoenix-riding training one would expect. Bilingual, speaks both Low Courdonian and Kythian fluently.

Why Someone Might Love Them Dude’s been through a lot and never quite broke. He’s a loyal and competent knight, and always keeps a level head. While it can take a while for him to reveal it, and/or for others to learn to read it, Cai really does feel a lot of love for the people (and animals) he’s come to care about. He’s compassionate and wants to help people. Pretty eyes and some nice muscles don’t hurt either

Why Someone Might Hate ThemCai could soooo easily be misinterpreted as being a jerk because he’s so damn reserved so much of the time. There’s also the whole escaped slave who became a knight thing that some High Courdonians might not be fond of. Probably the bandits and such Cai’s fought and captured/murderated aren’t really his biggest fans, either.

How They ChangeCai’s...pretty stoic and srs all his life, really. He learns some self-confidence through his knight-training. Later on, he changes by opening up a little more, especially to Ophelia.

Why You Love ThemI really enjoyed making Cai have different hangups and issues from his years as a slave than had already been explored - emotional lockdown, scars he can’t hide, paranoia about people finding out where he came from… His knightly scenes are a lot of fun to write as well. Phoenix-riding knights yeah!

For the OC profile thing, Leif and Cai!

((Replacing “phobias” with “fears” because I think the later is what the question meant, and I get nitpicky about that =P ))

Full Name: Leif JadeGender and Sexuality: Homosexual MalePronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: Corvid human, probably has some Courdonian in him as wellBirthplace and Birthdate: Raylier, Corvus, September 28th 1288

Guilty PleasuresSee, Leif has no ability to keep the things he likes secret, soooo

FearsLosing people he’s close to, both by outside forces and by his own mistakes, the Killing Curse, some of his family members to some extent (it usually gets nommed by the anger but it doesn’t change that he’s kind of afraid of them coming into his life and ruining everything)

What They Would Be Famous ForBeing an archmage is pretty rare. He also summoned a dragon at the Bloody Coronation, has been involved with a number of magical crises in Medieville and Corvus, essentially writes all the spellwork for undoing Courdonain conditioning, and possibly writes other texts about magic (I imagine he would like to put together a compendium on mirror magic, with Elin’s help, since he had such a hard time finding information to help Elin) (he might also write a general text about all the weird magical shit he’s run across for funsies. It’s a shame you don’t keep a journal, Leif)

What They Would Get Arrested ForThere was that time he was almost caught breaking into the Keep.... If he used some spell at the wrong place at the wrong time - likely trying to help someone, but, time and place, Leif - he could maybe be hauled off by some authorities >.>

OC You Ship Them WithNot my OC, but his canon boyfriend/husband Kirin

OC Most Likely To Murder ThemWell, Bastien gave it a good shot...

Favorite Movie/Book GenreDoes it have birds? Leif will read/watch it =D

Least Favorite Movie/Book ClicheInaccurate bird facts and omg don’t use red-tailed hawk noises for all birds of prey, and I imagine he’d not be fond of “nerd-fixing” storylines.

Talents and/or Powers:Archmage. Knows ALL THE THINGS about birds, and a lot about magic as well. Good at being a nerd.

Why Someone Might Love ThemLeif’s got a good heart, under all the scowling and sniping. He cares a lot for his friends and loved ones and will do just about anything for them, whether that’s providing them with some material good, using his magic, or trying to guardhawk them from danger. He’s very passionate about his interests, and his rambles about magic and birds can be entertaining if one has the patience to indulge him. As someone who didn’t know much compassion growing up, he’s sensitive to those who need it now and, while sometimes clumsy in his technique, he does try to understand and help people who are having a hard time.

Why Someone Might Hate Them He’s a noble and not always entirely aware of or fully-appreciative of what his social status gives/has given him; he’s gotten somewhat better since making friends who are non-nobles, and he’s willing to share whenever he realizes someone needs something, buuuut I could see someone who’s had a hard time just getting by getting annoyed with his complaints, especially regarding his childhood. Like “yeah you had this noise thing but at you always had food and shelter.” And while I don’t think Leif’s estranged family members really know him well enough to hate him or kind of recognize they were at fault for some of the strain, there are a few that definitely don’t like him because of years spent with Leif being bitter, easily-provoked, extremely antisocial, and with apparently no desire to be friends with any of them. He’s definitely seen as vexingly immature in some ways, and negligent of his duties as a noble.

How They ChangeLeif’s entire mainstory arc was basically “Leif learns not to be a jerk to everyone and that people won’t all be jerks to him, also”, which was quite the change. He also gets some chill later in life thanks to his ultra-chill husband.

Why You Love ThemA bird-loving, snarky, socially-awkward nerd with a found family and fun magical powers? What’s not to love?

A new Leif avatar - crushing!Leif unlocked! \ o /

(I should have shrunk the sketch before coloring it, not after, lesson learned!)

Decembird Day 28 - Beast

Sorry Leify, it’s too easy to make bird-related AU versions of you =P

[tigerwriter]

Decembird Day 26 - Fantasy

NTWF Medieval told me to do a chubby Lord Woo for fantasy day. And since I did this on the 27th instead of the 26th, it wound up being a good day for soft, fluffy, chubby bird-gods.

(I was going to do a phoenix but omg outlining every feather. I will do one someday)

[tigerwriter]

Decembird Day 25 - Gryphon

I’m so irritated I couldn’t get a decent picture going with my tablet but here we are - my character Leif Jade as the gryphon he was going to be for about five minutes before I went “nah”. His bird features are based on the African Goshawk.

(More details about gryphon!Leif AU under the cut, but it won’t make sense to people not familiar with the character and NTWF Medieval, and especially not people just looking for Decembird art =P )

- The original idea was that Leif would be taking/trapped in human form for most of the roleplay, the enchantment held in place by the chain around his neck; I figure later in the RP he would have broken the chain and thus the enchantment to help out during the fight against the Courdonians and their gryphons (who are presumably still nonsapient?) - hence why the chain is clearly broken in the top pictures. Or. Y'know, I meant to make it clear that it was broken 

 - Dragon-summoning might have been more “gryphon!Leif and Jades use magic to call on some dragon they’re allied with and teleport them to the field, 'cause if you have sapient and possibly-allied talking gryphons, why not sapient and possibly-allied talking dragons”.

- Post-game, Leif would probably have been given a way to swap forms at will, likely some modification to the chain.

I may or may not write/draw more than scribbles of this AU someday <.< >.>

19 - Workout wear (for Cateline or any other character you'd prefer)

The only exercise I could picture Cate doing was swimming, for some reason - even though it also seems the least likely because conservative medieval-era lady XDSo I found a pretty modest bathing suit (yes, real life medieval people swam nekkid but this is not that kind of blog!) for Catey, yay 8D …I don’t know why she looks so young in this picture, maybe this is pre-eight-kids!Cateline
