We've been given the go ahead to post our work from the Azeorth Fashion Zine, so here's the illustrations I've done for my page :D

Featuring my designer and beloved Manso'ri Witchclaw, and the three outfits with designs inspired by different elements of Thaldraszus. Working on this zine was a wonderful experience and we were able to raise money for a very important cause, and I hope we're able to put a second edition together for next year to keep it going :D <33

Found this look in my saved posts tab on twitter. Get a load of This Guy

A while ago @atu-and-zuni and I went hey, wouldn't it be fun if Krii and Tari kissed

And now months later we have a 6 person polycule that is so delightfully complicated-

[frutavel]

OC fact of the day both Manso and Tari have similarly crooked teeth

Both from chewing on things they shouldn't and/or putting weird things in their mouths

*Illidan voice* I am my scars

[frutavel]

I truly do feel like I've reached an advanced level of absurdity with this one

Local freak boy gets a long overdue update, more at 11

I just did some tweaks to these pictures to out them on Manso's toyhouse (for TRP purposes 👀) so reposting them :)

The absolute babyness of his pre fel days still sends me. He used to be just a normal guy fr

Ponies on the tl you know what that means

Tiny horse hours

Also, good morning gaymers :D

Manso as a concept is so incredibly funny to be because imagine you're a Professional Warlock. You've been studying fel for years and you know all the spells in the book and you can bend even the strongest demons to your will, you shed blood sweat and tears to get where you are now and you are widely respected in warlock circles for your magical prowess

Then one day you meet some guy who just stumbled drunkenly into fel magic one day and has done the bare minimum to study or understand it since then but he can turn himself into a demon and set a forest on fire if he feels like it. He doesn't care to learn where the fel came from or what it is and he has only the bare minimum understanding of demonology. His succubus makes flower crowns. His imp calls you a bitch and steals your lunch money. You cry

Warlocks know what's up

@krch-1982 I accidentaly deleted your ask while answering SO HERE IT IS

One side of the story is that Manso'ri used to be a shaman, but he had some difficulty talking and listening to the spirits and elements, and one day while trying extra hard to talk to someone, he ended up pulling forth fel magic. From then on he started practicing in his spare time, then along with his shaman training, and eventually it came to a point where the elements plain simple stopped answering him, so he focused 100% of his time to learning how to use and control fel.

The other side of the story is that a powerful demon in the Twisting Nether happened upon 20 year old baby man Manso'ri desperate for validation and thought they could use him for their own goals. In the end, Manso turned out to be impossible to control, and soon he became too strong for most demons to even try.

When the Cataclysm hit and Shatterspear Valley burned, Manso was unleashed upon the world struck by fresh trauma and thirst for blood and knowledge, a combination which led to him taking risks and trying things most "standard" warlocks wouldn't. It's how he learned metamorphosis, how he met his succubus, and how he would eventually meet Azadai, the demon who "made" him face to face during the Legion campaign in Aszuna.

He cut off their wings and drank their essence. Those are both his now.

Thinking about my OCs and social media and giggling

Zai would have instagram for the meme pages and also because Dinorah is lowkey an influencer and Zai likes to see her sister winning. She also has facebook but she never uses it, it's just there. She's been thinking about starting a commentary channel on youtube but this is just an idea for now.

Zabre has instagram and twitter. Additionally, she is a gamer and regularly streams on twitch, where she has built a loyal following of fans and simps alike. People clip and meme her streams regularly, she thinks this is hilarious.

Tau has instagram for the fashion and makeup pages, and twitter for the chaos. They derive entertainment from getting into fights with people over silly things like the color of a wall or a tree on the sidewalk.

Manso has tumblr and his blog is an over saturated edgy red and black overly formatted illegible font nightmare, he posts incomprehensible text posts and blurry pictures of things he sees out in the street. He has thousands of followers and is probably a Known Tumblr Person. He also has reddit.

Tari doesn't know how to use a phone, much less how this "social media" thing works and he doesn't want to know. Zai made him an instagram account that he only uses when she's there asking him to post a cute picture or comment something on her photos. The only thing close to social media he actively uses is deviantart where he posts his drawings and sketches. Every now and then he appears in the background of Zabre's streams and her chat goes hogwild

y'know.. I started thinking about that post of your characters and social media, so who would try which tiktok trend/challenge?

Oh this is a fun one! Sadly, I barely know how tiktok works and I have no idea what the specific trends are 🤔

HOWEVER I do have a basic idea of what people do on tiktok, and so I can tell you what types of content they'd make :D

The ones that would for sure use tiktok: Dinorah, Dazari and Manso

The ones that may use it: Zai, Tau, Zabre and Fern

The one who is stuck with tiktok: Tari

So with these guys as reference:

Dinorah in a world where cellphones and the internet exist would be lowkey an influencer, but make it Wholesome. She's mostly known for her instagram page where she posts pictures of herself and her work, and she'd use tiktok to talk to people, answer questions, show off too of course, but she'd like tiktok mostly for being able to interact with people. She'd probably participate in trends to show her house or wardrobe or just something about her daily life.

Manso makes tiktoks that are plain incomprehensible, super shaky and dark videos where you can't really see what's going on with weird music over it. He goes on the internet to be weird as a rule of thumb but then one day he makes the mistake of posting a thirst trap(?) challenge and after the sheer amount of engagement he got from that he decided to make it a thing to post occasional thirst traps in between completely unrelated and incomprehensible videos - he doesn't actually care about views he wants to watch the chaos unfold. People send him compliments and he replies witha blurry picture of a cactus.

Dazari works with marine life and conservation and he'd make informative videos - fun facts about marine animals, things you can do to help keep your local beaches safer, how to handle wold animals that type of stuff! He likes being able to share his passion with others and he might get to educate people as a bonus, so he has fun talking about different things related to the sea. He'd probably participate in pet challenges, just instead of recording a pet he'd be recording a horseshoe crab he found on the beach.

Zai mostly uses tiktok to mess around. She likes watching tiktoks a lot more than she likes making them, but she also loves to dance so she might participate in a dance challenge every now and then - if she likes the music, of course, and if she likes the dance. She likes watching videos of people talking about their pets or animals as a whole, and she also likes tiktoks about gardening tips.

Tau is in the same vein as her, they thought about maybe making makeup tutorials or the like, but under layers of smugness they are an anxious beanpole and they're a little scared people might take their content as a joke. Plus, their makeup is more on the artistic side rather than day to day wear, so they ended up passing on the idea of making tiktoks and just watch (and judge) what other people make.

Zabre has a myriad of random knowledge about random things under her sleeve, so she makes quick fun fact tiktoks about history or day to day things. She also shares a lot of life hacks that she uses to make things a little smoother, from cooking to cleaning to buying groceries. She's not a very consistent poster and she doesn't really use tiktok for anything other than making videos, but when she remembers to share something she does. Like me she has little awareness of the trends and challenges going around.

Tiger Fern uses tiktok for the same reason Dazari does, except instead of making videos about animals he watches videos about animals. He has no interest in makign content but he likes watching people talk about their favorite animals or just animals as a whole, he thinks it's fun and as someone who loves animals he always hopes to learn something new about a different animal friend. He uses tiktok to vibe.

And finally, I must once again say that Tari has no idea how to use a phone other than calls and texts, and similarly he hasn't the slightest clue of how the internet works. He has a phone because Zabre made him get one so they could stay in touch and he has instagram because Zai made one for him. He somehow ended up with a tiktok account he has no memory of making and he has no idea how to use the app, so he simply doesn't. He just has it and he probably will continue to have it until someone teaches him to delete his account. Sometimes Tau sends him funny tiktoks they found and Tari just stares at the screen in confusion because he doesn't know he can just click on the link to watch it.

Manso'ri's superpower is being the most chill dude you've ever met and the most senseless evil bastard in the world

He's gonna teach you to make flower crowns, then he'll shuffle off and set a forest on fire to sate an urge to destroy things out of malice, then he'll come back to you still covered in ash and blood and offer to take you out for ice cream

[frutavel]

One of the few things Manso and I have in common is that we both eat cereal dry and straight out of the box
