Hi! I am back with another ask:

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

For Kass, Jaya, Leon, and Corey.

Thank you! ❤

Hiya, Aunty Aria!

I'm gonna use this image as a reference, if that's okay.

So.

Body Type:

Kassandra Stephens: Inverted Triangle.

Jaynie Howell: Apple.

Leon Warner: Rectangle.

Corey Stephens: Inverted Triangle.

Height:

Kassandra Stephens: 5'7"/170.18 cm

Jaynie Howell: 5'6"/167.64 cm

Leon Warner: 6'1"/185.42 cm

Corey Stephens: 5'11"/180.34 cm

Clothing Accents:

Kassandra Stephens: It's a bit odd, because she likes baggy clothing that accents her body type. As long as her back isn't exposed, she's pretty much okay with whatever.

Jaynie Howell: Mask it. She's comfortable in her own body, but doesn't want other people to stare at her body.

Leon Warner: Accent it. He put in some work to make his body look better, and whenever he's not wearing a jacket of some kind, he likes wearing shirts that make his arms look bigger.

Corey Stephens: Much like his sister, he's fine with whatever, but it leans more on the side of accenting his body type.

So, I switched from photoshop to clip studio paint as my art software today and wanted to do something to try it out, so I did one of my OCs taking a nap

Things I learned about Devlin while making this comic: 1. She likes teeth. 2. She gets off to cosmic horror. 3. She calls her melons Minsc and Boo to annoy Astarion. Pinned post for the patron place where you can read for free without the Withers crew. ✌

"One of the many Lambs who plant saint orchids across Earthbread, Jelly Coral Cookie is a humble gardener who cultivates all sorts of vegetation and fungi for the cult. She only cares about two things: the ideology of the Lambs and her plants. 

Some say that she only joined the Lambs of Penance because of her fascination with the Saint Orchids… Nevertheless, she serves Penance loyally, and happily tends to the orchids while joyously awaiting the day of her purification.

Please tread carefully though; the coral in her dough is not that of the Sea but of mycelium, and she grows many things besides orchids. You won’t realize just how many different types of plants and fungi can leave a Cookie temporarily immobilized until you meet Jelly Coral Cookie. . ."

Extra Notes:

Specifically based on Sebacina sparassoidea (white coral jelly fungus).

However, she is broadly based on orchid mycorrhiza, which is typically a symbiotic relationship between orchids and fungi wherein the fungi help the orchid get nutrients. Although sometimes this relationship can be parasitic.

She has helped many Cookievorous Plants thrive since they were but mere seedlings, and in return for her generosity they are immensely loyal and protective of her. Despite this, she largely leaves them to their own devices, simply requesting that they protect the saint orchids in their territories from being destroyed, and to not harm any Lambs.

That said, there are 3 of these cookie-eaters who are never far from her. They usually help guide her when she’s in unfamiliar terrain and make sure no one interferes with her gardening.

She is a Penitent Acolyte, but she generally avoids wearing the official robes since she doesn’t want to get them dirty from gardening. However, she will wear them if asked to, though she can’t fit her hair into the hood unless she cuts it…

While she is clean in her reference art, Jelly Coral usually has a few dirt stains on her.

Has the WORST labeling system for her herbs—or at least that’s what everyone keeps telling her when they see the monstrosity, but she can find everything just fine.

Personality-wise she’s a bit socially awkward, but very passionate about gardening and keeping her fellow lambs safe (until they can be purified, that is).

Finally got around to posting this lil' weirdo. I like to call her my discount Poison Ivy /pos.

Anyway Cuppajj's AU is fire, check it out.

CR OC in the works.

Their name is Glacier Dragon Cookie. Quite the extensive lore, this one.

I also have some more dragon cookie stuff simmering on the back burner. Mostly a personal design for Longan Dragon.

Since I did one for my first farmer, I obviously had to do one for my second. We don’t play favorites in this house (except we totally do, I love her sm)

Her name is Jeannie, and she’s a half vampire on her dad’s side. Other than her appearance, vampirism hasn’t really affected her life that much, she just has to deal with a mild garlic allergy and getting sunburnt real easy. She also ages a tad slower than a normal person, but she does still age

AANHPI Heritage Month ‧₊˚❀ Asian American ‧ Native Hawaiian ‧ Pacific Islander

In the month of May we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in the United States.

Real talk? For millions of us living here, every month is our "heritage month." However, May is just when we make everyone else celebrate -- or at least pretend to care.

So go forth and heritage it up, in any way you see fit. Connect with your ancestors. Educate yourself on our shared history. Support your favorite AANHPI business or discover a new one.

Let's all have a good month.

some misc thoughts on ka bue worldbuilding! specifically relating to expressions

more thoughts under the cut!

my main concept for the Expressions as a whole revolves around names. essentially, an Expression can only exist with a literal expression of their Name somewhere in the world - their name being some sort of singular symbol / kanji / radical that represents their form, function, and essentially being. the first physical form of their name is their anchor (Expressions can change anchors though), and the more permanent the anchor is, the more powerful the Expression is. however, the more offerings - aka, further expressions of their Name an Expression recieves, the more powerful they become on top of their preexisting power from the permanence of their anchor. i imagine there's an entire scholarly split in ka bue revolving around whether One Big Elaborate Naming is more powerful or many smaller repetitive names is. for the most part though they both have about the same effect, which is why you see both shinto-style paper prayers attached to the pillars of the little shrine and a significant amount of more elaborate Offerings piled up around the anchor to the Expression.

- bonus thought here about little kids learning to Craft stone into geometric shapes as being the equivalent of vaugardians learning to craft clay into moving change god figurines! ka bue is pretty clearly Against / neutral to change and movement especially compared to Transgender Heaven Vaugarde, so i thought this was apt - there is also something here about the open-plan nature of the temple (wind can move freely through it, and people can visit and leave as they please) but i don't quite have enough thought here to fulfill it fully in worldbuilding. so i will leave the thought here for someone else to hopefully pick up - similar to shintoism, i imagine there are a lot of expressions dedicated to unique locations and places. for example, there are a lot of local Expressions (this one is one of them) that are specifically tasked with guarding a certain rural village or blessing a certain graveyard. the bigger and more popular expressions (victory, search, protection, luck, etc) are invoked much more often and by extension have far more elaborate temples though, probably located centrally in major cities. - bonus thought that i haven't really explored here about a bunch of the most famous temples being underground caves, due to the gem connections. - these temples would also probably have the expression names carved into them, similar to arabic architecture (see the alhambra's carvings) carving the name of god in stone into their walls. which btw i still think is one of the coolest things humans have done i LOVE spanish and arabian architecture

- some bonus thoughts about gems! i mainly conceptualized them in the doodles as being primarily anchors for expressions (metal and gems are prime expression worship material due to their permanence meaning that you can permanently express the Expression) but i also had a thought while typing up this tumblr post that maybe entire family trees could be represented this way as physical metal-and-gem trees, since odile mentions that people are commonly turned into gems. - bonus thought here regarding odile's "gems alive" swear - if gems are the remains of passed ancestors, not only is she swearing by her / other ancestors (which is very distinctly east asian) but also saying something along the lines of 'the dead are coming back to life because of how insane this is'. which i thought was funny - one final scribble regarding prayer flags! i imagine the paper prayers people write to Expressions as filling a very similar niche as shinto ofuda/shide and buddhist prayer flags, that is small throwaway prayers that gain power when accumulated in large amounts. and more importantly they look cool as hell - i don't know how common prayer trees would be (in my research shintoism commonly worships trees, and china also often venerates especially old trees (there are trees in beijing that are supposedly over 1000 years old, and some that are confirmed over 800 years old) so i think ka bue might do the same? maybe??? trees aren't really permanent though which is kind of more what i was going for in my head regarding their cultural beliefs. you can cut down a tree but you can't easily destroy a gem
