Here you go! This one's a throwback for me. I call it the working-through-a-community-college-graphic-design-degree-while-still-working-full-time-at-a-machine-shop-you-hate. Seemed appropriate for Feuilly.

Hiii! I REALLY love your Thrones and I'd like to ask if I could make one as a oc?

I'm not sure if I've shared enough information about their cultural context publicly for people to do this well, but I have helped my friends workshop Throne OCs before.

Some important stuff to know:

There are two broad classes that most Thrones fall into, private and imperial. Thrones which are private citizens can technically be found all over the empire, on account of the fact they're wealthy enough to go and live wherever the hell they want, but you're going to find the greatest number of them in Godtomb and other densely urbanized areas of the Imperial core. All thrones belong to the aristocracy by nature, as they're directly a product of wealth and privilege. If a Throne is not currently wealthy, they are inevitably descended from wealth. They were also a huge huge fad before the creation of new thrones was clamped down on, and nearly every old money merchant empire is a Throne family. Godtomb (the imperial capital) has the highest number of Thrones which are not associated with the government, as it was the birthplace of the literary movement which first spawned them (longish story). It is tempting to say that private citizen thrones are more diverse than governmental ones, but it's more accurate to say they are more diverse than thrones belonging to the tricolor court, which has fairly strict expectations for the appearances of Headless (quadrupedal; preferences for lions, lizards (varanid), oxen, eagles; a set color palette (gold, azure, white); the inevitable 'mantle' of 'petals', etc....)

Imperial Thrones can be divided along the lines of whether or not they are associated with the Tricolor court, A government body made up of regional power centers (Greathouses) which communicate directly with and contribute to the government in Godtomb. Each Tricolor Greathouse has houses under it which may or may not be aesthetically aligned with the tricolor court, if not directly members, depending on how culturally similar they are to the Hegemony. The further you get from the Bitano, the more likely these Provincial Houses are to differ and be more influenced by non-hegemonic local culture.

By necessity, all Thrones, governmental or not, are inexorably associated with the Empire and their existence functions first and foremost to legitimize its authority. Even in the cases of provinces like Lujnola and Sevab, which are each heavily tied to indigenous cultures (and therefor divergent from Tricolor Court aesthetics), they belong to ruling houses modeled on the Hegemonic standard, and are all vassals of the emperor in Godtomb.

Slightly finer categories:

There are Throne Houses which are not themselves Imperial houses, but are in the employ of Imperial houses. Many of the Thrones produced by these families are more or less born and bred for the military. Prominent members of such Houses (need to come up with a name for these...) often marry into Ruling Houses, although rarely TRICOLOR Houses, since they lack the clout to be competitive in that marriage arena.

There are Sansin Thrones. Sansin are an all-male order of magnyd (essentially the same type of being as Unbodied) that staff the Bibat Temples (of the Jacantese State Religion, they make and manage other sorts of Dangyds.) I will elaborate on Sansin later this post has gotten long but theyre just monks. Its an all-male social caste of monks that grow new members in little jars and sometimes they make their own versions of Headless and assemble their own version of Thrones. These Thrones are smaller, usually bipedal, and always sexless.

Other things to know:

Due to the biological reality of thrones there are headless which are born outside of major Houses. The vast majority of Throne-children are Unbodied (the sort which more or less exactly resemble ordinary humans), and those Unbodied inevitably leak out into the general populous. All Unbodied are capable of parenting a child which is Headless (the lower half of the throne). Headless born outside of major Houses will inevitably be snapped up when discovered. Even prior to the existence of Thrones, Houses can be propagated just as well by apprenticeship.

Not all imperial Thrones are lazy figureheads! Just the majority of them. Some Thrones belong to a guild which is basically Throne Interpol, going around and keeping despotism in check. What happens when one of those guys is corrupt? Don't be silly that doesn't happen and isn't a problem (it is.)

It's more common for Thrones to be generals when in military positions. Thrones tend to be high ranking wherever in whatever employ, not really because they're uniquely qualified, simply because they're Thrones. Many of them have fairly insufferable personalities on account of being treated like they shit gold their entire lives. They're not inherently *bad people*, but they're almost exclusively coddled, spoiled, deeply entitled, and profoundly disconnected people. This is isn't true for every single throne, just like, a solid 99% of them.

Hey! Started following you from the moment you started posting things on #curse of strahd. Haven't seen Patataj in a while. I love your art and will definetley commission you when the opportunity comes!

Just wanted to know how is your loveley bard doing? How is the campaign overall?

I hope this question didn't bother you much

Patataj is still running through Barovia, only making the soundest of decisions! For example he wanted to protect some werewolves from certain death after he helped them rebel so he agreed with Strahd's offer of giving him 10 whole favors. He was just too happy about the werewolves being okay.

Rahadin was angry, not so much because Patataj owes favors to Strahd, but because Patataj is clearly absolutely terrible about making deals. And what if something else asks for a bargain?

Hi Minnie! I hope you are well! I’ve been a Stucky shipper for long time and use to have a tumblr dedicated to following accounts and fanfics for it. I deleted it a while ago (and regret it) but I’ve been slowly rebuilding that account. I realized one of my favorites thiccbuckybarnes no longer exists and I was wondering if you knew why? I miss them dearly and have been trying to find their orphaned fanfics on AO3.

Hello sweetheart! I'm doing okay, thanks! I hope you're doing well too, and thanks for your message! Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your old Stucky blog :( But I love that you're rebuilding it, welcome back!! 🥰 Oh no, I had no idea thiccbuckybarnes was no longer around, that's a shame! I'm afraid I never really knew them personally, so I don't know what happened, I'm sorry. But maybe someone else seeing this might be able to tell you where they went? I think (most?) of their orphaned fics on AO3 are here, but I don't know if there's more. I do hope you find out more lovely, sorry I can't be of more help!

[penisbilt]

waving hello everyone so uh sorry for just kinda up and vanishing for um. months and months and months. i kind of exploded and then died and then lived briefly and then died again. but with the days getting longer and me being brave and being outdoors more (Even Though its starting to get real wintery outside) it feels like im coming to life again AND developing social tendencies for the first time in uhh ummmm. so anyway yeah hi i can almost handle the thought of communicating with other human beings again in the near future, stay tuned

[redrosydiaz]

if you see me replying to an ao3 comment you left on any of my fics anytime in the last. fuck. year or so?? please, don't mind me ksjdflkdsf.

hi!

i'm currently discerning consecrated virginity(have been for like 2? months? so i'm not v far into this) anyways. just out of curiosity. how did you know it was what you wanted? how did you know you were called?

Hi! Oh oh that's so cool!!

Okay so in my case it's a funny story, i'll try to make it as short as i can, but get ready for a testimony lol

(TL;DR it was divine intervention that made all the jigsaw puzzles of my life experiences suddenly fit into place)

I have always known i am not called to married life. Even as soon as a 9-year-old. It was always going to be celibacy, i just didn't know which kind. Since i did not feel very called to be a nun i figured i'd probably end up in a humble single laylife.

And then 2022 happened. I think it was actually the best year of my life, it was like a spiritual revolution, i experienced so many miracles, so much grace and tactile Love of God! The things that were happening to me, i didn't even know they were possible. Anyway, with all that happening, one day i just, heard Jesus' voice within myself while praying the rosary. It said, in the most casual way possible, "Hey, will you marry Me?"

I knew exactly what He meant and it instantly terrified me. And you know how it is with thoughts and voices within you (btw i'm not talking hallucinations and stuff! i'm talking regular God-talking that many people have within them!), sometimes you're not sure if it's really God speaking to you. But sometimes, there are those rare times, when you are absolutely sure it's Them. Now i really wanted it to be the first case. But i knew, i knew it was the second one.

So what i did is i went to the adoration, sat before the Holy Sacrament and went: "Look, my Jesus, You know i love You, but... not like that?" And then i started listing everything that felt weird and confusing and that i didn't like about consecrated virginity lol. Well that was that, i thought, i'm too young to start yet anyway and also this was a very busy time for me (my medschool finals, my first karate championships, etc.) so i wouldn't need to think about it for a while, right? ...Right?

Hehehehehe.

Of course i couldn't stop thinking about it! So one evening i had enough, i sat and browsed the internet for all the info i could possibly find. Documents of the Church, CCC, the official website, resources, blogs, forums, footages of consecration ceremonies, everything.

And... the thing is, while i was finding out more and more, all my reservations i'd talked about with God those few days ago got debunked one by one. Like, "oh turns out i completely misunderstood this part!", or "oh so this one's optional and i don't have to do it at all!", and "oh this one's not at all like what i imagined!", EVERY. SINGLE. ONE OF THEM! And the moment the last one disappeared i turned to the nearest Jesus portrait, eyes wide, chin on the floor, and i said "You... You really want this..." The joy that filled me right then lemme tell you!! Aaaaah it has become my biggest dream from then on!

I don't know how useful my story will be to you but i can tell you this: from my experience, if God really wants something from you, They'll tell you clearly. Maybe not in plain words, but They'll somehow make sure you know. (And if you're not sure, that's okay! You can search, you can try out things and see which ones work for you! Also for OV the formation takes around 5 years so you'll have time to think everything through). In any way, good luck with your vocation, have fun hehe, i'll keep you in my prayers, dear sister in Christ! 🤍

idk why i’m so weird about my main blog it’s not like i’m too secretive about it since it’s in my intro (not the pinned) post if people decide to look through it (which i don’t really 100% expect from everyone so i get it if people aren’t aware) but it just looks like i’m hiding it for no reason 😭

anyways, all this to say i’m finally explicitly shouting out my main @scint1llat3 (where i follow/interact from) if you want a barrage of random queued reblogs 24/7 (<- exaggerating. mostly.) bc i reblog anything i find mildly interesting— (sorry mutuals/followers who are already currently there 😭)

+ also more importantly i have another side blog @llizsch for non-fanart and old art, and bc art fight is coming up i’m reposting all my previous art fight art there if anyone’s interested (i’ll be joining art fight this year too btw!! i’ll make a more proper post about this after the team reveal 😤) (and i don’t mind interactions with my old art since i’m still pretty happy with them!! there’s a reason why they’re being reposted)

also semi-related tangent, it’s nice seeing in the notifs people finding a lot of my old art in this blog these past days, thank you 😭💖 even if it’s also just silent like-reblog spam, that all really cheered me up

ANYWAYS. NO PRESSURE. JUST IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED 🙏

[homkamiro]

I just want to say, your speeding bullet fanart is just *chefs kiss* delicious. I love it and your artsyle!
