Some HCs of MCU! Alfheim dances :

. Since I mentioned that Light Elves in general love theatre, music and dance

One popular Alfheimr dance is the Firework dance

Basically a group of Light Elves be taking 2 balls of firework balls each and just dance to passionate music with a HUNCH of spinning and floating

It is originated from the Pleasure Elves realm and it soon became a popular dance in Alfheim

It has several nods to the Tarantella dance and the Flamenco btw

. And then the sand dance of Alfheim has several nods to Egyptian belly dance, Amazigh folk dances, and Arabic folk dances

It basically is a sand Manipulation dance and originated from the Spice Elves realm

. And then there is a light painting dance, basically it's a floating dance where light bending elves be showcasing light shows WHILE FLOATING AND DANCING. It originated from the Vale Elves realm and it has several nods to Balkan and Iberian folk dances btw.

Basically there are a number of elemental relateddances in Alfheim btw

And also the water ball dance in Alfheim is originated from the Sea Elves, and it has several nods to RYTHMIC GYMNASTICS, contemporary dancing, Grecian folk dances and Celtic folk dancing 🤩🤩🤩🤩😊😊😊

Also in those 4 Alfheimr dances mentioned

Water Ball dance : * spectators be all getting their anti water splash umbrellas or force fields on *

Sand dance : * spectators be all getting their anti sand hoodies, shawls, and/or shades or force fields on *

Light painting dance : * spectators be putting on magical shades AND GROOOOOOOVVEEEE to the colorful lights 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤣🤣🤣 *

Firework dance : * everybody else got their anti fireworks force fields and tools on *

Elves: Feanor and his sons were the most hectic and problamatic of all elves. They were always ready to jump at sm1’s throat, and they never restrain themselves. Nothing has ever come close to the raging inferno that is feanor when he thinks you owe him something.

Feanor’s maternal family: Hold my fucking wine.

Dying at the idea of a fairy au for any of the idiot brigade and extended cast 😭

I'm not sure if you mean the Idiot Brigade finding a fairy, or the Idiot Brigade being fairies but oh my god the chaos of either of those things delights me to no end hahaha

Also I just got a very strong image of a sour, sharp-tongued Devon-fairy and giggled like a dingbat.

After several months I finally found courage to post some of my High Guardian Spice redesigns. I started with Thyme cause she was my favorite (along with Parsley). It's nice to see more and more black elf characters. Althought I don't like that Thyme was made with the tomboy and masculine looks. I have a problem with that because almost every poc character made by white ppl are always made like that. So yeah, Thyme is the feminine one but still serious and annoyed most part of the time. She's also the oldest of them, so some of her conflicts will be a little bit more complex (?) idk I'm still working on that. Parsley will soon come too. And then I'll do Rosemary and Sage. If this get popular enough I'll do of the other characters.

YES GOOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SAID ELVES DON'T HAVE TO BE TALL WAIFS ALWAYS

[high-guardian-herbs]

Alright so for now I’ve got the elves lore in my new notebook, tho I’m not sure if it will be used or not, but it’s still important so that I could understand how their culture works or something

Also still no sure what to do with the language barrier, I’ll just continue going forward till it becomes an issue and try to solve it then.

By the way just finished listening to 36 questions musical/podcast and wow I’m not sure what to say but I needed to say something

+ can someone please tell me how can I fix the resolution for the art?? Why is it so pixelly

I've been wanting to replay with BG3 with a Durge, but I'm conflicted about what race I should try out this time. So I thought I'd let y'all decide!

Random worldbuilding idea:

In a world with the classic Standard Fantasy Races, the concept of "mildly toxic just means spicy" is known to all of them, but what defines 'spicy' depends on what these specific people have the highest natural resistance to. Humans, who metabolise plant poisons remarkably well, naturally enjoy their chili, mint and other mildly irritating toxic plants in their food for spice. Dwarves have a whole gallery of various types of stones and minerals found underground, which are so precious to them that anyone finding a vein of a coveted crystal is set for life - the expression "as rich as a spice miner" is so common among dwarves that it's also spread to unrelated languages of people who live, or frequently trade or work with dwarves.

Elves, who are far too refined for such simple luxuries as toxic plants or rocks, prefer to spice their foods and wines with things that cause mild-but-harmless psychic damage. Elves from cultures that prefer spicier foods make fun of elves from milder cuisine cultures for not being able to handle spicy foods, while elves from mild cuisine cultures agree with non-elves that you can't even eat Spicy Elf Food without afterwards seeing demons for three weeks straight.

In contrast the orcs, who do not care for such fancily sophisticated luxuries as human plant spice or dwarvish rock spices, and are actually immune to elvish spices completely, prefer the simplicity of abrasive textures - common orcs add coarse sand into their foods, while warlords and orc rulers of high status might splurge in the luxury of having their dinners spiced with shards of glass.

Humans will sample the food of anyone but the orcs. Elves are actually surprised that humans also indulge in psychedelic mushrooms, and dwarves are amazed that humans can handle salt.

Can elves get pregnant?? Someone told me to ask you that btw lol lol lol it's a weird question right and like it's so sudden?? Like imagine having sex with an elf and suddenly you're like I'm gonna turn you into a real mother lol that would be like so weird right lol

Hmm well yes elves can get pregnant and reproduce since they wouldn’t want to go extinct but only the female elves can

I feel like Silas being unable to get pregnant adds a bit spice to him. You have this guy who really really wants to mother you but he just wasn’t biologically built for it. He knows it but he’s still doing everything in his power to mother you probably. Stuff like not being able to lactate saddens him because it feels like he’s failing you and that angst makes the story fun for me

[high-guardian-herbs]

Okay so maybe, possibly, perhaps, I may have done too much worldbuilding and lore for this whole thing

Like, too much too much

Like, what was the story about again? Kind of much

Like, this protagonist is too small for this kind of story too much

Like, the last few thousands years lore and wars and evolution kind of too much

Like, hey, maybe I should make this a little smaller and focus on the story kind of too much

Yeah I gotta focus on the future more than the past of this world
