after a LOT of redraws (and im still not entirely happy with the finished product) here is the perfect pretty girl herself: kokomi teruhashi✨✨

Forgot to take a pic of the lineart (which was so much better)

YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)

Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!

My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).

As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)

I have so many cozy scenes for Kaela and Lucanis and even Spite.

Like Kaela reading adventure stories to Spite every night so that he doesn't move around too much and disturb Lucanis's sleep. The deal is that after at least an hour, but often more, Spite has to lay in bed quietly for Lucanis's sake.

Lucanis figuring it out, and coming to read Kaela stories when she inevitably gets sick from not getting enough rest herself. He reads until she falls asleep, then sits with her, resting while being nearby in case she wakes and needs anything.

The both of them cuddled on the sofa in the dining hall, reading to each other after dinner.

Her surprising him with cinnamon cookies, because she can't make churros but she DOES make really good cookies and having them ready when he wakes up from the mandatory nap she makes him take.

Him not meeting her at the eluvian after trips to places like Hossberg, but rather he goes directly to the baths (oh yeah, the lighthouse provided a Tevinter bath in the new basement to the dining hall) and preparing everything for her to scrub down then soak for an hour, so she can get all the blight and grime off and just relax while he and Bellara prepare dinner.

Her moving to another room in the lighthouse (with a real bed!) with windows for her but heavy drapes to block out the view of the Fade for him, so that he doesn't have to spend time with the meditation room's aquarium, which Kaela assumes would remind him and Spite too much of the Ossuary.

Lucanis making more and more trips to Kaela's new room at night, not officially moving in because he still feels most comfortable in the confined space of the pantry, but still spending enough time in her room that he may as well move in. Their relationship has eventually progressed by this point, but still most nights they just lay together until falling asleep, or reading to each other still.

Occasionally Spite still wakes up while Lucanis sleeps, but he and Kaela have their agreement now, where he stays calm and sits with her while she reads, or they play cards, or anything relaxing like that. She wonders at one point, can Spite read? If not, she finds a way to teach him, and then he joins in the tradition they've all developed of reading to one another in quiet, cozy moments.

Spite never becomes other than spite, he's given enough opportunity to live his role, but he gains more of the traditional traits of Determination and Affection in the progress, and he doesn't rail against the transition.

Ultimately, the time comes to leave the Lighthouse for good; Lucanis just can't push off the Crows any longer, and his responsibilities to them become more than he can manage from the Fade. They all move to Treviso, but not to the manor proper; a cottage on the grounds (if it could be called that--it's still more grand than Kaela's childhood home, which was not insignificant) is more appropriate for the intimate little life they've all built together.

They continue indefinitely while he leads the Crows, and she uses the eluvians to spend her days in Minrathous rebuilding the Shadow Dragons, this time with the official support of the Archon. Every night they both come home to their cottage, and read or play cards or other little games. Lucanis teaches Kaela to make churros, and she teaches him her mother's recipe for cinnamon cookies.

Their friends don't get to visit as often as they like, in spite of having eluvian access; they come for important dates and anniversaries though, including for a long-delayed wedding at the main Dellamorte manor.

We had a great two days of hanging with Cy's mom but thank God she can't see well because I happened to stand at the right angle in our bedroom (that she was in, helping us move out the old bed n shit) and

Do you see them on the wall?

Those are our handprints 💀

My appreciation for iris and ota as characters increases every time I play aitsf like I think the side characters in aini are more likable but they don’t have as much depth cuz you have to remember them in all these different points in time and their different relationships with all the protagonists and it gets really wishy washy but in the first game it’s just like. Here’s iris and ota, they’re fucking annoying and sketchy as hell. Please spend all your time with them 🥰

When your OCs are nervous to meet each other's parents/family for the same fear (what if they hate me?) but for opposite reasons

[bitegore]

ngl i think i kind of was a genius for being like 'yeah this character is a scary killyou cannibal scary killer who scary kills you' and then realizing that the way my worldbuilding works out is that there's a nonzero chance that if you leave literally any body parts over they can just come back, depending on what they believe in their heart of hearts can kill them. Of course she'd start eating her kills. She probably tried normal stuff first and then realized it didn't work and she had to try harder if she wanted to actually keep them dead.

Catching up on campaign 3 finally. And Sam jokingly telling Laura “you’re the main character”. Laura immediately being like “don’t say that! don’t say that”. But like isn’t she? Cause she feels like it. And Taliesin, way early even said that they were a party of npc’s except for Imogen.

And I’m not Imogens biggest fan, I have a lot of trouble getting very invested with many of the c3 characters, but Imogen always feeling so centerstage is definitely one of the reasons why I have trouble with her.

It’s not Laura’s fault, but it’s definitely a lot of things surrounding it, like Fearne being Ruidusborn but it rarely getting mentioned and nothing being done with it. Why make her ruidusborn then? FCG also has had to put some stuff sideways for the whole arc now that while it involves so many people, like Fearne, like Orym, just keeps being focused on Imogen and sure it’s a big part of her backstory, but it’s not only about her, and people seem to forget that at times.

And we’ve barely seen anything about Ashton, Chetney only had a small part. And I know Chetney will get more in the coming episodes, FCG probably too, but the others aren’t really.

on one hand I wanna write my fic ideas wherein my marvel oc gets sent to the alternate universe of Gotham and hijinks ensue whilst she tries to survive and get back and the batfam and such slowly learn more info abt her world and how it's being threatened atm and she needs to go back and help and whatnot.

But on the other hand, the readers wouldn't know the marvel related backstory of this OC and would have. No context for her going in

But ALSO then the readers would know abt as much abt this mysterious figure as the batcrew do, and get to learn via flash backs and her slowly revealing info to them as safety allows

Then there's also just a general. Idk if there's any sort of oc etiquette when it comes to writing oc centered fics? My brain goes so hogwild when I read anything that I usually avoid oc fics other people write just bc I usually read and enjoy fics at face value but I also go "now what would happen if this OC was here?" And that gets real complicated when other people's ocs are involved

Might proctor some SATs at the HS my mom teaches at 👍

[fatelcved]

i love when songs make me think :' )) bc it occurred to me that aside from maybe her family members, chiyo's probably never?? really spoken about kojirou to anyone, and if she has, it was the bare minimum. like her relationship ended with him in high school, he moved away, and then chiyo never spoke about him again, which wouldn't be totally unusual if it wasn't for the fact that the way that relationship ended continued to impact her as she grew older.

chiyo's issue with kojirou was that while they had great chemistry and understood one another really well, chiyo was still just a kid. kojirou was just a kid. love was this big and scary concept that kojirou wasn't afraid of but wasn't ready for, and chiyo was terrified and not ready. love meant fully opening up to the possibility of getting hurt; love meant forever, in her mind; love was too much to ask of her at a time when she was still growing used to the idea of being wanted in the first place, still recovering from years of feeling unwanted and troublesome.

the fact that chiyo never talks about kojirou means that she can't move on and heal from that experience. just bc she couldn't love him doesn't mean she's incapable of loving someone else, and it doesn't mean that she's going to ruin future relationships. chiyo has a mindset of, " of course i'm the problem. i always make things difficult, " and that stems from being bullied and needing so much attention from her family and from her relationship with kojirou. she doesn't place any fault on the guy who told her he loves her right before moving away :' ) like what was even the point ko :' )

i sure am rambling asdfg but all of this is to say!! make chiyo talk about ko. make her talk about why she hasn't been in a relationship since high school. make her talk about something hard that she avoids and ignores bc that's what she'll always do unless it's pulled out of her :' )

[multishipper-baby]

You know, I haven't thought about Ray and Cami's relationship in a while. I should probably consider that more.
