BEHOLD, MY RETURN! A post? On tumblr?? After months of literally nothing??? It’s true - I am not, in fact, mythicial  😎✨ SO here, have some ocs from aaaaages ago that I’ve re-fallen in love with and am determined to do some sort of story for! Their names are Vaun and Vali Van Der Toorn, they’re twins (Vali is older by 3 minutes and does NOT let Vaun forget it), from a long line of respected morticians and graveyard wardens, they’re recently reunited after a couple years of distant/infrequent contact (in which a LOT has happened, particularly on Vaun’s end) and Vali is completely and utterly bamboozled by his nerd brother’s career turn, more at 10💜

The Master of the Mage's Tower always passes by to pay Her Grace a visit.

"Mother hates the colour red,

... so why...?"

The Archmage of the Empire and the Master of the Mage's Tower: Isfrid Skirmen van der Toorn.

(YES, Lady Isfrid has a thing for Her Grace.)

(NO, Her Grace isn't aware of this...)

Chest window on full display yet the Grand Duchess only ever privately wonders if the Tower's Archmage can feel the cold (they're up north 😭...)

Additional trivia if you haven't been following my IG Stories! :

Upon joining the Mage's Tower, mages renounce their familial ties (and even nationalities) in order to declare themselves as neutral in the Empire's political sphere, therefore announcing themselves as fully dedicated to the Tower and their duties. There is some leeway, however, as magically-supported businesses/public conveniences requiring the use of magical artifacts /do/ require the help of mages (money has to be made to earn livings, after all).

The mages who join thus discard their original surnames and oftentimes as a result either: 1.) pick a new one to symbolize new beginnings and ambitions, or 2.) use the Tower's epithet as a stand-in ("Van der Toorn" can be considered just as prestigious and honourable as a Duke's surname, after all, so there's no true loss in the end! Becoming part of the Tower means you are one of the elite and highest-grade mages—former nobles and commoners alike are on equal grounds, in an atmosphere of collaborative learning and (generally friendly) competitive magical academia, with many helpful and support resources provided for them.)

Essentially they're magical researchers and/or.... public servant hermits......... Though they do assist the Crown, the Head of the Tower is the one everyone truly answers to. If Lady Skirmen disapproves of an Imperial Decree, who is the Crown to rebuke her? What are they going to do? What CAN they do? This is why political neutrality is important for such powerful beings.... Thankfully, Isfrid isn't interested in world continental domination haha (her interests lay solely elsewhere... 👀)

Songctober day 23: No Reptiles (Everything Everything)

Just give me this one night Just one night to feel like I might be on the right path The path that takes me home Wise enough to know myself

I haven’t been able to join our Blades game in a while, so have a few sketches of what my Whispers been up to in the interim <3

Trying to work out my boy’s backstory properly, and decided he served on a Leviathan Hunter ship during his Academy days~
