It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything, but I thought this would be a good place to start! Tanvi has undergone some design changes since I’ve last posted about her, her horns are different, her hair is longer, and she has a scar over her right eye. I’m experimenting with more of a watercolor-y design to see if I like this for IC art, but I haven’t fully decided yet

Tanvi on the moon <3 I love her

So, I've only got like two videos currently, but I do in fact have a Tiktok! I imagine my hyper-fixation on video editing will die down soon enough, but I had a good deal of fun with this, so figured I would post it here!

Some gposes I took of Tanvi and Lehna exploring Hullbreaker Isle!

Lehna belongs to @e-dragoons !

Fluffvember Day Twelve: Vacation

[umbralastra]

Brainstorming ideas for Tanvi's post-Endwalker looks! I thought it would be nice for her to grow her hair out again like it was during ARR. I think it would be kind of sweet for her to style her hair after Venat

Fluffvember Day Thirteen: Bad End

I've seen Lightwarden AUs, so admittedly when I thought "bad end" for Qara, Tanvi and G'raha, it was the first thing I thought of.

So it was basically a what if, when Emet kidnapped G'raha, Ryne couldn't save Tanvi from turning into a sin eater. I don't think Qara would have it in him to kill her, so I think ultimately she would make him into a sin eater as well. Tanvi isn't as monstrous as I originally envisioned, but if all goes well, maybe I'll be able to sketch it at least! I've been swamped with homework and family visiting, so we'll see how much time I have lol!

Just got my Tanvi alt to Vanaspati! There was a point in her development process where I considered making her actually having been born in Vanaspati, but I figured that was too sadistic. Having her homeland under siege by blasphemies is probably traumatic enough without her specific birthplace being on on literal fire.

Went to lurk at the lovely Glitterhall! Really enjoyed the music and the vibes! Thanks so much for hosting @bramdreamshade !

Got to meet @/e-dragoons and @/hailedmercury as well :D

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted any of my original stuff lol but I had the idea to draw Tanvi as a faun, so here we are! I figured something with scales would be better, but the idea of her as a faun was so damn cute I couldn’t help it

[umbralastra]

G'raha's a complicated subject for Tanvi and Qara. Like on the one hand, the plot of Shadowbringers made it really hard for them to fully trust him again. On the other hand, they obviously care very deeply about him but trusting him to the point that they could be in a relationship together is still kind of a long way off. They're still happy to have him back at the end of Shadowbringers, but throughout Endwalker there's still some weird lingering tension. When G'raha offers them a way forward in Ultima Thule, Tanvi practically forgives him on the spot, promising that she and Qara will see this through and they'll see each other again. Qara is deeply affected but he can't even bring himself to look at G'raha. He's still resentful over the deceit but he doesn't want G'raha to leave but he also can't think of another way to go forward. I really need to get some screenshots of the reunion lol but there's so many scions that need to be in that scene I'm sort of putting it off.

Fluffvember Day Fourteen: Love Language

Tanvi is a very open person by nature. She's very verbally affectionate and is very quick to praise people. I think her openness is very hard for Qara to get used to at first. He splutters and hides his face if she says something particularly sweet. Qara isn't used to people being very accepting or affectionate toward him, so to be complimented so readily and doted on is a completely new experience. Qara on the other hand, is much gruffer and more reserved. He seldomly praises or compliments G'raha and Tanvi, just as he's a man of few words. It's not because he doesn't think the world of them, he just chooses to show it through touch and acts of service when he does compliment them however, they completely melt. When Qara doesn't feel like talking but still wants to be around his lovers, he'll often just sit with them, either letting them sit on his lap, holding their hand, stroking and playing with their hair, or sometimes just sitting in the same room and enjoying each others' presence. When the relationship first started, Qara took a lot of the responsibility on himself, always paying for dates, always buying things that his lovers wanted, carrying their stuff, giving them massages on rough days, cooking for them, etc. He was basically their butler. As he grew more comfortable in their relationship though, he gradually relaxed and let them do more things for him.
