You don't understand the Enjou white day art fundamentally changed my brain chemistry. Enjou please return I need you best boy.

smfwtwd's chapter 39 sketch dump aka Ilhuicamīna and Itotia time haha. The two middle sketchy pics were drawn forever ago when I was finalizing his design, I'm just including them because why not, but the first and last are new.

I recognize I have an absurd amount of ocs in my fic, but I can do what I want, it's my fic pfft. But in all seriousness, idk but for me, characters are part of world building. People aren't islands, their interconnected relations inform their character and the world around them. So while Ilhuicamīna isn't going to be some major character, for me, it's just the joy of fleshing out the world and specifically Itotia's relations beyond Childe or the other Archons.

And it's just fun to expand upon characters I just sort of threw there for random roles haha. You were originally just some dude, and now I've thought an embarrassing amount about u pfft.

[avemstella]

A little late to the trend but this meme going around had me thinking about my two main characters (excluding Venti) of my fics and how it's a perfect encapsulation of their theoretical dynamic pfft.

[avemstella]

This Undertale quote still fucks with me, so when I saw the art meme I couldn't help myself. I love drawing things that only I have full context for, it's very fun pfft. Maybe one day this will all make sense, but for the moment you can speculate wildly haha.

(honestly I should have waited to post this after she shows up in United in Distaste (she's actually supposed to show up really soon in the Venti fic lol), but with new Remuria stuff coming out soon I couldn't help myself.)

[avemstella]

This is a terrible thing to post on Scara's birthday (happy birthday my son!), but I finished it today and the irony was too funny pfft. The Dottore Alice wedding was a miserable time for all but maybe the bride and groom and sort of the Tsaritsa. Ajax elsewhere still has the light in his eyes and has no idea what's coming haha.

(what is their ship name... Dottolice... Alottore...Alik...Zandice... I think I like the last one the best but there's other combos too)

(also if it isn't clear, Alice is a couple months pregnant with Klee here haha)

Skirk Skirk Skirk my beloved

Her mention in the latest Archon quest has me by a choke hold

[avemstella]

Genshin 5.1 Archon Quest Spoiler

I must mention that I did in fact make a full colored (and color coded for different groups!) Khaenri'ah character chart entirely for this joke, for which I knew I would be blurring because there are massive spoilers on it pfft. One day I'll show it off, one day.

Okay, so originally I was going to have a ramble here about my current Natlan thoughts, but well...

uh, yeah haha. Hades 2 has once more consumed my time and brain (oh god the amount of video essays I have in my head for it, good lord). I'm not going to reveal how many hours I've played in this last week, it's embarrassing, but I have kind of burned through the new stuff, so I'll be back on the fic writing grind soon. Also because, despite the distraction and generally how slow its been, I'm quite excited to write it (teaser, there's a Skirkback with some vital lore! Also I just missed Skirk pfft)

Thank you everyone for your patience

[avemstella]

So, uh little late on this, but thank you everyone for 2000 kudos on smfwtwd (it's technically 2007 now lol)! Like holy shit, how has that happened??? I still don't understand how my silly self-indulgent Harbinger fanfic that's wildly off canon in almost every way for ages now still gets new people engaging with it. I've been incredibly lucky with my readers and just, thank you all so much. I'm incredibly grateful every day for it, and just know it brings me endless joy that people enjoy my work. I can never thank everyone enough.

I don't have anything particularly related to my fic to give in celebration, however here's pictures of my new dog who might or might not be the reason the next chapter will be later than it should be haha (okay that's being written at a good rate I'm being dramatic)

Look at my adorable baby boy (he's not a baby he's two pfft).

[avemstella]

Cassandra Eligos Erinnyes Egeria Whatever I'm calling u today, love u questionable lady. I updated A Stronghold Against a World that Devours Hope last night, and that definitely has nothing to do with why I'm posting these now.

and below the cut are a bunch of sketches of her (mostly) during smfwtwd (so like a 1k years after these pics), which okay isn't a spoiler considering I've posted art of that design before, but you know to be safe haha (and fun fact, most of it was drawn before the undertale meme of her I drew, I'm just like u know what probably should post this now)

Fun fact! So, it's probably obvious her present day look is inspired by 1920s fashion, I wanted a much more modern look for the seer, but in a way that's a bit deceptively modern if u will. She sees the future but is ultimately still stuck in the past. And the 20s have a lot of symbolism attached. Also, u can tell from the concept art of me fucking around with designs, originally she had a lot more blue, that gradually became more and more gold. Read into that as u will haha.

Also, for comparison, here's her 'final' design (I put that in quotes because who knows if I'll adjust it again haha):

As u can see, basically all the blue is gone and her crown no longer is the greek/roman inspired piece it once was. She also loses her flowers.

Blah I could ramble about her all day, but I really should restrain myself haha.

"A heart. His heart. His terrible broken out of sync heart. Which of those two gave it to him? Did it even matter in the end?" -SMFWTWD Chapter 26

Me swanks in very late to Scara's b-day with this piece of art I've had in my brain for months that I finally got around to finishing. Whoooooo haha.

Something, something, Dottore and Bina's parallels in his life (and in general), something, delusions and heart symbolism and scara's lack of agency (sometimes of his own volition), something, scara's terrible self-destructive habits that the good people in his life are themselves too messed up to handle (ex bina/nella/sandy) or the shitty ones take advantage (Dottore), something, something, every one here's an absolute mess and I love them pfft.

Also I made a gif of it that I have mixed feelings on, so it's below the cut. And just because of flashing and the like (so do be mindful).

[avemstella]

Chapter 39 of smfwtwd is out! I told yall this time the gap between chapter would be reasonable haha (when will the next chapter come out...I'll try my best)

[avemstella]

Alice Genshin Impact I love you my messed up unhinged woman. The only Isekai protagonist I respect (jk for many reasons lol)

[avemstella]

I've been meaning to do a redraw of the trailer shot with my version Skirk for ages, but I only just got around to it haha.

[avemstella]

Between Natlan on the horizon (which I have thoughts about I will restrain...) and Itotia showing up in the most recent Venti chap (and won't confirm or deny that she maybe might be showing up in the main fic quite soon), my girl is on the brain. Here she is, everyone's favorite wayward, warmongering wretch, the Pyro Archon!

[avemstella]

Lyngbakr

The never ending saga of me getting things almost right in my fic, but just a bit off pfft. Though whose to say maybe mystery whale is one of Albedo's brothers, a girl can dream.

[avemstella]

Happy Halloween!

Fun fact I meant to draw this with my Harbinger girls last Halloween, but I totally forgot until after it was too late lol.
