Weiler de Riva character development: preferred gifts

Now that I've been off work for a few days I feel human again and want to keep posting about Weiler! I was inspired by @lucaanis and their gifts post about Ileyth (who is so awesome <3) to make my own for Weiler.

TW: brief mentions of past abuse and drugs

LOVES gifts: +10 Approval Weiler has a preference for comforting items that allow for relaxation and self-care.

"What the - for me?! What do you mean you got this for me? Wait, no, I want it, give it here!"

Golden Lights A relaxing, sleep-inducing strain of cannabis. It’s also known for its mood-lifting effects, and it can be used to relieve insomnia, pain, stress, and depression. It is said when smoked, partakers have felt the warmth of the Golden City on their skin.

Breaded Cheese Wands Crispy, golden, and served with a lightly-spiced tomato dipping sauce, these are the perfect snack to enjoy with beer or whilst walking through city streets. The longer the cheese pull, the better.

Cooling Peppermint Remedy A glass bottle containing a pale solid shea butter. Infused with peppermint, eucalyptus, and elfroot, the bottle of butter can be submerged in hot water. Once melted, the oil can then be massaged over the skin to soften cracks and dry patches and to soothe aches and pains.

Silverite Massage Ball A palm-sized ball of solid silverite locked inside a rosewood cup. When removed the silverite can be heated in boiling water, then inserted back into its wooden container, and (once cooled a little) rolled over aching joints and muscles. It is particularly useful during migraines, as rolling it over the back of the neck opens the blood vessels beneath the skin, allowing for more blood flow to the head and ease the pain.

Obsidian Straight-edge Shaving Razor Expertly crafted by Dwarven smiths, the obsidian blade can be discreetly tucked away into a sheath which has been inlaid with thin ribbons of gold. Useful for those interested in maintaining close hair shaves.

✮ ✮ ✮

LIKES gifts: +5 Approval Weiler will accept practical gifts that serve a useful purpose.

"What have you got there? I'll have it if you don't want it."

August Ram Leather Strips of leather (dyed black) that can be used to reupholster the grip of swords. Durable, yet soft, it makes for a grip that is comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

Goose Feathers A bundle of long feathers coloured black, tan, and white to be used when fletching arrows. Their eye-catching colour creates a striking pattern as the arrow is released from the bow.

White Quartz Whetstone A smoothed and shaped piece of quartz, perfect for the later stages of sharpening blades.

Sewing Kit A necessary kit for any fighter looking to maintain the quality of their leather armour. It contains thick, sharp leather sewing needles, stitching awl, leather waxed thread cords, copper thimble, and curved needles.

Tobacco Pouch A pouch made of butter-soft snoufleur leather that contains a large amount of tobacco.

✮ ✮ ✮

FEASTDAY GIFT: +50 Approval After a life of pain, agony, and trauma, all Weiler wants is to be comfortable.

Weiler won't say anything when handed this gift. The lump that will form in her throat will make it impossible to do so. She'll quietly accept it before retreating back to the solitude of her room.

Great Bear Fur Blanket Mottled with grey, black, and white, and backed with wool, this fur blanket is the perfect cover during cold nights. Soft as silk, the fibres have been treated to provide ultimate comfort to its owner. It's hefty weight presses reassuringly down upon the body underneath. It is almost impossible not to fall asleep whilst lying under it.

✮ ✮ ✮

FEASTDAY PRANK: -50 Approval Weiler suffers from bladder incontinence following sustained abuse as a child and teenager. She is highly sensitive to this and will take great offence if it is brought up.

Again, Weiler will not speak when she receives this "gift". She will throw it back in the giver's face and leave immediately, slamming doors behind her and swearing loudly once she is out of sight.

Clean, Lavender-Scented Underwear A pair of plain black cotton briefs. Nothing particularly fancy, but they are dry and clean and smell faintly of lavender for a pleasant scent.

I need the world to see my vision of OCD An but the only way I feel I can accurately convey it is with this.

(There’s alt text if the text is hard to read, although idk if it’s formatted well….)

I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.

It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.

i think fandom spaces would become much more enjoyable across the board if people stopped flipping their pancakes over other fans enjoying characters that they don't like. or, god forbid, like them but in 'the wrong way.'

Absolutely NOBODY asked for this but Papaya trio sketches because for some reason out of ALL the characters in Ninjago my brain could’ve picked to latch on to, it chose the three who have never canonically met

I’m sorry but I love them dearly

I also apologize for not allowing any character that I draw to NOT have at least one inhuman trait, as you can see Morro got the worst of it here

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this

Elim Garak: fucking around vs finding out

[ev7nescent]

With all the ads I've seen of Link Click,,, and the music videos,,,,

I'm bound to believe that 'Link Click' as a whole is just a side gig that unexpectedly got a lot of money made. I mean— come on. Time Photo Studio is just a place to print photos, why would they get sponsored by brands like Oppo and uhh that one ad I saw of the face cream plus the gas stove? (Or pot, I don't remember). In which world do you think Lu Guang would be so engaged with social media when in the anime he is practically invisible online?? They stream too, furthermore giving me hope that everything is fine evidence to back this theory. When do companies sponsor people? Because people think- 'Oh my fav celebrity is promoting this I must buy it' and it works. It works man. They're POPULAR and they're CELEBRITIES.

Cheng Xiaoshi is trying his best to get money to pay off the rent lmao-

I've no idea how canon those ads are, but considering how Link Click is, it has to be SOMEWHAT canon, right????

Yes I'm talking about a potential** ACTOR AU.

Yes I've been thinking of this since Yingdu.

No I'm not okay.

I’m starting to hate STSG so much solely for the fact that I cannot consume any content of my faves without them always being brought up or inserted into the conversation in some type of way

I just wanna hyperfixate on Hikara and Itafushi yet the most toxic and unhealthy ship is brought up more in their tags than them themselves

not-yet-dead-person

silly comic of a conversation in-game i thought was too funny not to make something proper for instead of a doodle ww

(timelapse + wip images (thus silly process commentary in read more if you like artist commentary :3)

i think the sketch looks silly and goofy and funny so i find it important to share with you the mere presence of the faces i drew on it. i drew it on top of the boxes without staying inside its borders because i find my proportions can get wonky if i draw them cropped in a restricted space. and I feel trapped otherwise and i will draw BAD!!! give me spaceeeee to go wild!!!!

the head circles are there for emotional support

very low res speedpaint because truth is the canvas was much bigger than the space where my comic was placed. i didnt account when exporting my timelapse in 720px that that tiny space would look so pixelated ... but it's able to be percieved, so its okay.

(i will now comment on my process and it is not brief sorry)

usually i would try to clean up my sketches and figure out what goes on top before jumping into linework, but since there are multiple panels and drawings i chose to jump into inking right away for the sake of brevity. i just went in with a brush that uses pen pressure and drew what was needed. i added extra line thickness and contrast in areas around the face because it helps direct your eyes there more easily that way.

according to her equipment rei has a chain belt but i only remembered it existed once I was going to color, and i did not like that discovery... I chose to ignore it to maintain my peace. i already have the color palettes for these characters figured out, and i didnt really want to think about a new element at the moment www I tend to overthink those things a lot so i skipped it

the rest is rather straightforward! not that anything else wasn't, but in here i could turn my brain off and sing. linework and sketching require mumbling so i cannot turn my brain off. just block in the characters with a solid color so i can have a mask (something along those lines,) where the color can stay inside. then just color in !!!

Base colors just had slight cell shading on the skin, and for the hair i airbrush a bit of the skincolor in low opacity near the forehead... I'm not sure what it means, but i can look at the faces easier with it somehow. i like the gentle subtlety it adds even if you cant really tell. it makes things look nice.

background was just me blocking in the color of the wall and floor, shade the wall a bit, then slap a noise and free use wood texture on top. work smarter not harder ! yet it took a bit to make it look stylistically fitting with the characters, and even now i think bottom middle panel looks odd. whatever!!!

for the middle panel i thought itd be funny if the background was a solid silly and colorful one to contrast the next panel's sketchy black one. a contrast to how the word widow is seen. on that note my handwritting is not pointy. i gaslighted my hand into thinking that it was indeed pointy in that moment so i could write "not-yet dead person" in letters that didn't seem cute. my hand did not fall for it but it complied anyway

that's basically it! I'm not sure what else i could say that doesn't feel barebones because it really is that straightforward. if you're curious I used clip studio paint for this. only special brush used was for linework (a brush named Lemon Brush), the rest used were just the default. my computer gets the least credit. it was trying to convince me a 20mb file was going to nuke it all the time and hardly let me save multiple times so i do not appreciate it
