#stella the paladin

[sapphireclawe]

Stella looks at the altar she was praying at, and smiles. This time her family won't be upset with her. This one won't be the mission that gets her expelled from the Order.

As the various peoples of the party arrive at the palace of Wielgtor Ithael, the advisor studies each of them. They're let into the palace and the dwarven advisor explains the situation.

"We've been getting a bunch of gods telling us that the royal bloodline is doomed to end, and the last one of the bloodline we can find is the prince. Your gods may have better instructions than I do, but please, keep the prince safe. We need an heir or the kingdom will fall into chaos." The gnomish rogue slinks into the shadows at that, and a would-be assailant is hogtied a moment later. The twin elven mages walk away, arguing between each other whether setting wards or launching fireballs would be more useful. The dwarven cleric heads up to the prince's room, followed by Stella. The paladin prepares to remove something from her pocket while waiting for the cleric's back to be turned.

"So I was called here by Attica, for he mentioned that the prince was in danger. What brings a half orc here if it's not to kill any assassins?" He glances at Stella as she pulls out a brooch. Then his eyes widen with a grin.

"Forgive me, Stella, I've been having some visual issues as of late and I didn't recognize the one who helped me escape the arranged marriage." He turns around again while Stella hums to herself, pulling the item from her pocket and pouring it into a glass of elven wine.

"I was called by Brunhilde the Devoted to protect the prince, and I think I understand why.... that and due to the fact that what I tend to do is far different from what the Order teaches their missionaries to do, if I mess this up then I'll be expelled." She hands the bewildered prince the glass of wine before checking the daylight. "Sun's going down. Don't let anyone into the room who the prince doesn't ask for."

"So uh...... what was that shiny pink goop you poured into my wine?"

Stella, being tied up with multiple weapons and spells pointed at her, waits.

"Why did you poison the prince!?"

"You claim you were sent to protect him! Lies!"

"What did you do, lass!?" The cleric looks distraught as he tries to figure out WHY the person that saved him did all this.

"Because if I didn't, the prince would have been doomed to a life solely meant for having children with someone he hates!" Stella watches a dagger get much closer to her face.

"So what, your idea was to KILL him!?"

"Not unless he tries rejecting who he really is." A moment later, and the previously unconscious prince groans.

"I need...." Everyone braces for the next words. "I need garlic bread..."

"He's ACE!?"

"Fuck, we're out of royal bloodline after all. Get this man some garlic bread..."

"Yeah, get him some garlic bread and ask the staff if any of their mothers were courted by the king. The prince should be okay after he eats, but the king is KNOWN to have had a ton of affairs." Stella points out, and the mages split up to find each member of the staff. The rogue just opens a secret door into the room exposing a girl who looks almost identical to the prince. Holding a knife. And garlic bread.

Stella Polaris

[adventurersdelight]

Knows the basics of preparing a good meal, still hires someone else to handle making it.

Knows forwards and backwards how to make an all-star full course meal that'll wow any traveller.

Can cook pretty well, but her specialty is baking by a long shot! You'd never guess she comes from a smaller village with how professional her goods are.

Horrible cook. Will serve you black sludge a la mode. Fantastic at picking good restaurants though!

Knows the basics and can make a pretty filling meal with just a handful of ingredients. Doesn't really know what to do with more expensive tools and foods though.

Queen of the home-cooked meal! Anything she makes will taste nostalgic and warm, leaving any adventurer filled with feelings of family and home!

[oathofpromises]

I took an oath to protect those who couldn’t defend themselves. Even if doing so will slowly destroy me.

[suzannahnatters]

Some weirdly specific tropes that I absolutely adore but rarely see: Platonic Love Triangle Two attractive people will battle to the death over the right to be friends with you (I wrote this in A Day of Darkness and otherwise have only seen it in the kdrama Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938)

The UnChosen One In the magical fantasy world, everyone has super awesome magical powers, except the protagonist (A Dream of Fire by JR Rasmussen did this SO WELL and it made me SO HAPPY; I also plan to do it myself in an upcoming project, A Lord of Thorns and Teeth)

Dying Baby King Terminally ill teen boy should be asking out his crush and having fun, not killing himself running a country (I wrote this in The Lady of Kingdoms with my squishy darling Baldwin IV, and I've only ever seen it done otherwise in the Trevor Nunn movie My Lady Jane)

Disabled Love Interest Put your romantic male lead in a wheelchair you cowards (Stella Dorthwany's Song and Flame and @rj-anderson's Knife have two of the best disabled love interests I've seen)

Sword in the Bed You've heard of Only One Bed but this is the superior medieval variant: before they bunk down together one of them draws a naked sword and lays it in the bed between them (IIRC, it happens in the Welsh Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, and apart from that and some other medieval legends and fairytales, I've only seen it in an unfinished work by @rj-anderson auuuugh)

Fake Divorced Exactly what it says on the tin (I've never seen this? but DV I'll be writing it into the 5th Miss Dark book)

Bad Fictional Matriarchy What if the patriarchy was a fantasy matriarchy? It'd still be bad, obviously. I see this so rarely but it is always an opportunity for fantastic, layered social criticism (Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie did it well; I'm struggling to recall the one (1) other fantasy novel I read that did it!)

Sad Wet Puppy X Righteous Female Warrior ETL Enemies-to-lovers, but he's a skinny waterlogged little weirdo and she's the righteous paladin who is going to hound him to his destruction without mercy on the strength of her own heavenly wrath (it's the one thing in common between the kdrama Flower of Evil and the cdrama Till the End of the Moon and both of them sent me absolutely feral, plus I have an untitled project on the backburner that will give me the chance to do my own version of this...)

[starberrrry]

Probably finalized designs for my Chaos Quest au! I love how these look! I'm going to talk about it now because it plagues my mind every second. So if you want more info read below! vvv

--

Chaos Quest is my au of Sonic which is basically set in a fantasy rpg! These five are the main "heroes" of the story with other side stories that tie into the overall story. The gist is the Master Crystal has been shattered and a prophesied hero must gather them along with the 7 Chaos Crystals to unite the 7 kingdoms and defeat an evil darkness plaguing the land. Very tropey but I love rpg tropes. :)

Below is some basic info about each character. vvv

there are probably typos and weird wording because my proofreader isn't with me atm so bear with me

--

~Sonic~

Class: fighter

Weapon: Ringblade - Multi-blade (can be a single blade, propeller sword, or dual sword)

Icon element: wind

Backstory: found alone and unconscious on the beach of South Island, Sonic was adopted into the Prower family with Tails becoming his little brother. He remembers little, but doesn’t let that bother him much. Sonic and Tails enjoy helping other islanders with menial tasks and taking care of occasional monster appearances. One day a storm wreaks havoc on South Island and Sonic hears a mysterious voice.

~Tails~

Class: artificer

Weapon: Cyclone Cannon (powered by chaos drives)

Icon element: lightning

Backstory: Tails was bullied for his abnormality of two tails but his new brother put an end to that quickly. He and Sonic quickly bonded after Sonic was adopted into their family. Despite being a little bit anti-social, he loves helping his neighbors with inventions and testing them out by fighting monsters. He usually follows along with Sonic’s adventures, but some seem crazier than others.

He can be timid and anti-social but he is ready to help where he can. Despite his gentle heart he had a habit of giving sarcastic remarks. He is very intelligent, but lacks street smarts and is very naive about the world.

~Knuckles~

Class: Brawler

Weapon: Iron Arms 

Icon element: earth

Backstory: After his parents died, Knuckles was left alone on the floating Angel Island. He takes care of the creatures and old ruins of his ancestors. His sole duty is to keep guard of the Master Crystal. He often prays and calls out to the spirits of the island but no one answers back. One day strange shadowy monsters attack the island and shatter the Master Crystal, causing the shards to scatter into the world. Without the Master Crystal, the island falls and Knuckles is left calling to his ancestors to find out what to do.

~Amy~

Class: Paladin

Weapon: Heart Smasher

Icon element: fire

Backstory: Amy grew up with a great sense of care for others, that’s why she joined the Heroes Guild. Despite her drive to help others, she is often underestimated and taken advantage of, which is why she hasn’t advanced in the ranks. She often takes circumstances at face value and sometimes it can get her in trouble. She still takes every small task she can if she believes it will make a difference. When Sonic and his party arrive in Stella City, Amy convinces them to join her so she can ascend the ranks help them with their quest.

~Cream~

Class: healer

Weapon: Angel Staff, Cheese the Chao

Icon Element: water

Backstory: Cream and her mother Vanilla manage a chao dragon reserve outside of Stella City. Her soft and kind heart for everyone pushed her to join the Heroes Guild with her best friend Amy. She’s usually the voice of reason for Amy when her ambitions outgrow her capabilities.

[radarscookies]

haii !! this is gonna be something fun i did cause i was bored but since mcsm is combat and story based.. i felt like i needed to assign characters with d&d classes yipee!! (now this is my opinion and im totally up for editing it if someone has a good idea for a class for a character but i will NOT argue with you guys over this) okay anyway lets go

this goes for after season 2 btw !! order of the stone: ivor- alchemist artificer/ great old one warlock (the witherstorm) / samurai fighter soren- college of creation bard / wizard of conjuration ellegaard- battlesmith artificer magnus- scout rouge / artillerist artificer gabriel- banneret fighter / oath of glory paladin new order / jesses gang: jesse: banneret fighter / oath of devotion paladin / aberrant mind sorcerer (from romeo) jesse could honestly be so many things petra: champion fighter olivia: battlesmith artificer axel: scout rouge / artillerist artificer lukas: college of creation bard / drakewarden ranger radar: path of the totem warrior (bear) barbarian blaze rods: aiden: mastermind rouge / oathbreaker paladin (he just gives those vibes it fits his story too) gill: path of berserker barbarian maya: college of glamour bard / arcane trickster rouge other: cassie rose: wizard of necromancy / assassin rouge / ghostslayer bloodhunter (my girl had time to study) isa: kensei monk milo: swashbuckler rouge harper: battlesmith artificer / forge domain cleric hadrian: way of long death monk / samurai fighter mevia: way of long death monk / scout rouge stella: college of eloquence bard / fiend warlock (from romeo) jack: echo knight fighter / barbarian path of the storm herald nurm: circle of stars druid vos: school of war magic wizard binta: peace domain cleric / circle of spores druid if you are wondering where the admins are well its kinda hard to put them into a class considering their different powers they'd probably fit a god npc more but i can try if someone requests it, that being said i will do more characters if people ask for them!!

[randomshenaniganery]

Red Fountain Specialist Design Fr this time sksksksk

sorry if its hard to read I'll write it down under

Right is some facts about onyx and their role in the group

Onyx wears face paint on missions as they were aware that if they got face tattoos they would face problems in school

Onyx comes from the same planet as Tecna however from a smaller city and lower class

Stella's friend and main contact with RF (explanation LATER)

Ranged Fighter (main weapon rifle) and Strategist

Closer to Timmy and Riven

Kinda doesn't like Sky doesn't tell anyone about it (one sided rivalry on Onyx's end)

Had a crush on Flora cried over it

Beefs with Tecna sometimes

RIGHT: Drawing of On Mission Red Fountain Specialist Uniform

Right brace is a regular one and the left is modified to be a communication device for all specialists as well as a way to connect to any RFS gadgets, vehicles, machines etc.

The cape/glider in canon is inspired by research done on fairy combat, the wings serve as a glider when specialists are airborne. They function by metallic fluid that look like veins and those veins move the material, they have censors that will trigger to turn on if specialist is unable to use their screen to activate it manually. Before they can use this cape they have to be trained on how to glide and mimic fairies. also do not ask me about the specifics of how this tech works because i am not smart askakskakkaskaskkaskas I'm thinking about that fluid that moves with magnetism or just insert vague it's advanced technology from an entirely different realm

LEFT: In School Training Uniform

Minimal special features because it's meant to be worn when students are enhancing their natural ability

Light weight

Waterproof, non conductive to electricity and fire resistant

easy to put on in case of emergencies

RED FOUNTAIN SCHOOL FOR SPECIALIST HEADCANONS (for my rewrite)

Used to be an all boys school but was very recently changed to be mixed

Has different departments aka more like a university it has magic and non-magic combatants, a technology dep, a magical beast taming dep, etc.

Has more students than Alfea and Cloud Tower combined because it's not restricted to those who have specific magics anymore (used to be)

Privately owned but often works with government programs hence the reason why students would be in contact with criminals and also catching them

only a small percent of graduates become specialists as others use their degrees to get jobs in magix because there's more variety in the courses offered.

RF is considered neutral ground for fairies and witches

Rival to Paladins (Arcane focused school) but like in a friendly way

Principal can be considered like a multimillionaire at this point since he's owns a school that can produce military vehicles and students that create those designs while still studying. I think he's raking in government cash and also opens avenue to shady shit i can explore :3

Naming on Magix

I wanted the naming on Magix to be different to the way it's done on Earth, to make sure the magicians (people of Magix) have more of an otherworldly feel to them.

So, as it's more likely for girls to become Fairies or Witches, it's common practice to wait up to five years until naming one's daughter, to have the name fit with their magical power. For boy's however, it's more probable that they become a Wizard or a Paladin and their magic type isn't as obvious. But usually the meaning of their name allude to their home country, at least most of the time.

I imagine surnames are translated from the different languages of the realms of Magix, since that is how everyone understands another - through a translation spell. So, the surnames as i write them down are more of a literal translation of their meaning.

In Arcadia bloodlines have been tracked through the mothers' and when the country began to have a bigger number of residents they decided it was best to start using last names. Since they wanted to make sure one's mother is always thought of, they made sure surnames honored the mothers. The first Fairy and the Ancestral Witches were the first to officially be mentioned with their last names. Those were written as of and the mother's name - Belladonna of Athan, Thamara of Athan, Liliss of Athan, Arcadia of Athan, ...

This kind of naming however, changed a bit as people moved away from the first city to build new homes around other Magical Cores.

in Callisto has a big importance on the stars, as Callistians are closer to them, at least through the magic of their home's Magical Core. Mothers are seen as the stars which brought up their children - Darcilia of Griffin Aster, ... in Domino a mother gives up a piece of her fire, to let a new one grow. In that believe her child is seen as her Flame - Daphne Flame of Marion, Mirta Flame of Brenda, ... In Ísheim its the mother's name with the suffix -is - Ísey Skadis In Jörd it was decided to think more of ones' father. For the  daughters, there is the suffix -s after their father's name, for sons, it's -z instead - Brandon Masonz Nobles have the crystal of their home town in their name, the royal family has the kingdom's name added - Diaspro Wyatts Eraklyon And the imperial family has the name of the whole realm added - Sky Erendorz Jörd In Linphea one is born from the mothers' family plant. So, it goes - Flora de Alyssa Rose In Melody the child is their mother's song - Musa Mai-Lin Song But the royal family strives for harmony in their realm, so the King, Queen and their direct descendants have Yijun added instead - Galatea Lian-Shi Yijun In Oceana a mothers' kids are getting addressed as her Waters - Aisha Waters of Niobe, Nabu Waters of Uma, ... In Serenia the children are their mothers' winds - Timothy Aella-Wind, Storm Donna-Wind, ... In Solaria the kid's are seen as ray of their mothers' light - Stella Luna-Ray, Nova Elaine-Ray, ... In Zenith every family has a unique family name, which in a marriage gets changed for both of them. But in the children's documents are their parent's names as gender-neutral variants listed, like a middle name - Tecna al' Magneth Electron Cryos

Should one parent come from a different realm, the naming style for the child will always fit to the one the parents decide to stay in, except for when they decide to stay in Magix City, in this case the child's surname conforms to the way of naming of Arcadia.

In the rare case in which a children's parents are unknown, they will be raised in Magix City and named of Arcadia, as a protective name - Riven of Arcadia

Striker D&D 5e Build

My Stolas post is making the rounds again, so I thought I'd build Striker for funsies. 1. Lineage - Tiefling (Fierna) Being an imp, Tiefling is an obvious choice for Striker. What sub-lineage you choose varies on what class you end up picking for him. Zariel or Standard Tiefling is the most fitting in my eyes, followed by Fierna Tiefling for the charm and suggestion angles. If you wanted to play up the rattlesnake aspect of Striker's character, you could also go with Yuan-ti.

2. Background - Urban Bounty Hunter So here's the thing, we don't know much about where Striker comes from and why he's the way he is. He seems to be from the Wrath Ring, given his cowboy theming, and has a strong dislike of Nobles. He also takes jobs from just about anyone to do just about anything. I'd say Criminal/Spy, Urban Bounty Hunter or Outlander are your primary thematic options for him given what information we have at this time. I could also see Faction Agent with a specific tie to the Zhentarim in a Forgotten Realms game.

3. Class - Vengeance Paladin So Class is fun, as Striker can do a little bit of everything. He's a highly capable contract killer with a charismatic flair. He fights with guns and whips, rides hell steeds with ease, and even plays the guitar. He also seems to struggle to keep his cool under pressure as of his second and third outings. Because Striker has such a wide array of talents, he could realistically be many classes. Bard, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Paladin or Warlock all fit him to one degree or another. I feel stronger about the Martial Classes than I do the spellcasting ones, given we haven't really seen Striker use magic. SO let's break it down. A) Bard Striker is sexy and charming and Bard is the class most known for it's Charisma shenanigans. Their skill monkey nature fits Striker's wide range of capabilities. However, Striker isn't much of a spellcaster and no Bard subclass currently enhances ranged combat. If you want to go this route, go College of Whispers or College of Valor. B) Fighter If your DM allows Guns and Critical Role content from DDB, then Gunslinger Fighter is an easy answer. You really couldn't go wrong with it. If not, Arcane Archer or Battle Master Fighter could also do the trick. Arcane Archer more for it's focus on flashy ranged attacks and Battle Master for being just fucking good. Also Chevalier may be good to represent his ropin' and riding.

C) Ranger So Cowboys just *are* Rangers. They spend time out in nature alongside trusty steeds and stocks of steer. That being said, it's not a popular class in 5e and only Hunter really fits Striker as a character. I also don't know if I'd represent Striker as especially Wise, given his demeanor. D) Rogue He's a criminal who takes jobs with the mafia and assassination contracts against nobles, he's got Rogue energy for sure. Skill monkey also fits well with his wide range of talents. Assassin is a given but also consider Swashbuckler and Scout as subclass options. Swashbuckler for it's Charisma focus and stylin' on the enemy and Scout for it's ranger, outdoorsy flavor. You really can't go wrong with Rogue. E) Paladin This might seem way off base, but I think Paladin has some great potential to represent Striker really well. Charisma based martial class with limited holy power (angelic weapons anyone?). While we don't know the full scope of it, Striker seems to have an ideology that he's intent on carrying out and holds against others. Oath of Conquest, Oath of Vengeance, or Oathbreaker are the stand-outs to me. My only grip is Smite doesn't work on Ranged attacks (though One D&D may fix that) Conquest's battlefield control really fits the fantasy of fighting and winning against multiple people at once, while Vengeance seems to fit his anti-noble ideology.

F) Warlock Finally, we need to pay some lip service to Warlock. Striker is a demon, he usually works for a greater evil (Crimson or Stella for example), and Hexblade may be too good to pass up. Also hey, Eldritch Smite is a thing. I don't see Striker being anything other than Pact of the Blade for this though and He hasn't been shown doing any real spellcasting. It's one of the weaker options in terms of accuracy to the character.

For my purposes, I'm gonna go with Vengeance Paladin but really Assassin Rogue, Hunter Ranger, and Gunslinger Fighter are all excellent options.

4. Stats With +2 Dexterity and +1 Charisma from Tiefling (Origins) and using point buy I would distribute his stats as follows: Str - 14 Dex - 16 Con - 12 Int - 10 Wis - 10 Cha - 14 If not for the Strength requirement of Paladin (minimum 13) I may not have it so high. You could variably give him higher Intelligence or Wisdom but Striker has some butt monkey tendencies after his first outing that make me happy with how I've spread his stats. Alternatively, you swap his Dex and Charisma scores around as well.

5. Skills Skills that make sense for Striker are Athletics, Deception, Intimidation, Persuasion, Stealth, Animal Handling, Survival and Perception. You could also grab Performance for funsies. For my build, I grabbed Athletics and Intimidation from Paladin and Persuasion and Deception from Urban Bounty Hunter.

He also gets some tool proficencies from his background so I grabbed Thieves Tools and a Lute (sweet victory!).

6. Spells In my build, he's still a partial spellcaster. Most of his spell slots will go to Smite, but let's take a look anyway. Can't go wrong with the Smite Spells, Bane or Bless, and Heroism or Divine Favor could all be great. He debuffs his enemies or buffs himself and hits you where it hurts. Find Steed/Find Greater Steed seems like a must once you reach high enough level to take it.

7. Feats (Optional) - Skilled (Survival, Animal Handling, Perception) Most people use feats and feats at first level, but they're technically optional. That being said you have a lot of good options. Infernal Constitution from Tiefling could be nice to make Striker just hardier (he takes a lot of punishment in the show). Dual Wielder, Crossbow Expert/Gunner and Sharpshooter/Firearms Specialist are no brainers for a ranged focus character like Striker (varies if you use guns or not). Skilled / Skill Expert to show just how much more talented he is than you. Alert, Mobile, Tough, and War Caster are all easy choices with no real downsides. Mounted Combatant could be fun if you want to focus more on the ropin' and ridin' aspect of Striker's character.

If Dragon Prince characters were D&D builds

With the new season coming out and me being a little bored I came up with this and thought I’d share.

Callum- Variant Human Order of Scribes Wizard. Most people might think he’s a sorcerer but he isn’t born with a connection to the Arcanums, he learns to tap into their power through study and experience. His starting feat is Lucky. Also he has the Eldritch Adept feat after using Dark Magic gave him a connection to Aaravos, it gives him Eyes of the Rune Keeper to help with his research.

Rayla- A Pallid Elf Assassin Rogue…at least at first. I think after the time jump she changed into a Scout Rogue/Fighter with the Magic Initiate feat for a couple of cantrips and The Find Familiar spell (Stella is her Familiar). For her Fighter levels Battle Master seems the most appropriate for the Maneuvers. Also she probably has the Mage Slayer feat to help deal with Claudia and Viren.

Ezran- Variant Human Drakewarden Ranger. His starting feat is Eldritch Adept for Beast Speech (I know technically he can’t get this without spellcasting but Rangers get that at level 2 and if it’s really important starting Ezran with a level in Druid would work). Due to his bond with Zym and him communicating with dragons in the season 3 finale I think Drakewarden suits him best.

Claudia- Variant Human Celestial Pact of the Tome Warlock/Bard. All Dark mages seem to be subservient to Aaravos in some way. Even Callum who only used Dark Magic once. Anyway for her additional spells and I could see some Bard levels to reference her studying magic maybe a Lore Bard or a Whispers bard. Her feat is Metamagic Adept to show her experience.

Soren- V Human Champion Fighter/Oath of the Crown Paladin. Soren’s pretty straight forward. He’s good at fighting and the Paladin is to denote his position as a Crown Guard. His feat is either Medium Armor Master (he’s incredibly quiet in all that armor) or Heavy Armor Master, depending on what you think he’s wearing.

Viren- V Human Archfey Pact of the Talisman Warlock/Eloquence Bard. Aaravos is a Patron that can be included in many subclasses of Warlock and for Viren he’s an Archfey Patron. At one point I think he might have been a Lore Bard but changed over to Eloquence when he became Harrow’s primary advisor. His feat is War Caster because of his focus.

I just wanted to focus on the main characters, but I’m happy to do more if anyone wants me to.

Looking forward to season 6.

[kurtisthesnivy]

So about six years ago, I created a homebrew system for a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon tabletop game. It didn't quite pan out, so I migrated to a heavily homebrewed version of DnD 5e (also designed by yours truly.) Until about 4 months ago, I was running two different campaigns as well as a handful of smaller adventures. I can't take full credit, my boyfriend has been a massive help with running games and coming up with homebrew. Over the last half decade, I've kept a record of all of the characters that have played in our games. And as a celebration of finishing such a long journey, here's all 72 characters that have been played in PMDnD.

So I just saw all your redesigns that you’ve done for the Winx (plus other characters) they all look incredible btw .Wonderful job!!!

Got any cool lore bits you can drop ?

Any story /worldbuilding changes you got ?

Omg yes

I got some world building

I wanna put way more focus on the dragon and I actually wanted it to physically be the way the magic dimension is built up

Have a very quick doodle i did of that idea

I also am changing up the relationships when it comes to the main group I don’t want it to be season 1 and 2 and boom everyone has a boyfriend.. i want it to be more spread out and explore more ideas for some of them

I’m planning on keeping the main aspects of each season intact like the villains and main premise until like season 6 because i want some more characters to have their individual moments

I also didn’t kill off nabu i killed off riven but he’s not a walking red flag in my rewrite so it’s probably still gonna hurt

In my rewrite musa goes by muse because i wanted to break up the all names end with a thing going on and i also have muse go mostly by he/ they pronouns

I’m keeping chimera because honestly we need more found family and i just don’t want the illusion of stella’s parents getting back together to be a thing i can make them goth and trendy siblings it will be fun.

I also wanna work in more lore on where the boys are from and where the trix are from.

I have been putting a lot of effort into reworking zenith and melody at the moment really working out how i wanna build their culture so that can reflect in how characters look and react

And im writing in the existence of fairy animals from the start with it so i can expand the ecosystems of the magic dimension!

Now for some juicy character lore bits

Daphne and valtor will have a history but they are very different from their original counterparts in my rewrite

I’m keeping professor palladium closer to his season one design cuz i honestly prefer it

Also palladium x avalon canon i make the rules

I’m keeping diaspro and I actually made her a specialist and not a fairy cuz no more boys can’t be fairies and girls can’t be paladins I’M GIVING HER A SWORD!

The trix are gonna get more casual outfits because we were robbed

I gave tecna a hearing aid and tecna also can’t fly I’m limiting her to gliding as a reference to her paraglider wings in season 1 and also just cuz i feel it’s more interesting to have diversity in battle styles.

(Tecna will also hopefully be the next post)

Furthermore i changed artu into a shiba because they are known for their strong personalities and i get wanting to give the dog eye brows for expression but why didn’t they just pick a breed that had more natural looking brow like markings 😭😭

Roxy WILL be getting every transformation because i like to draw and i love roxy she deserves more!

And although i love tecna and timmy they are the only official mc pairing that isn’t canon in my rewrite and idk if it will be due to my zenith rework. THEY DO INTERACT I JUST WANNA TRY OTHER THINGS WITH TECNA!

And that’s all i got to share for now

I can do more of these posts when i have the inspo for it and more to share cuz i love winx and i love my rewrite of it!

Thank u for reading byeee!

Okay my brain wanted to talk about Luna and Radius cause I’ve formed a really strong attachment to them

—-

So Luna and Radius met when they were 12, it was a small gathering during the sun dance festival

Basically the sun dance festival is a celebration of solaria’s guardian fairies and paladins it’s a thanks for their services

Radius’s father Helios and his mother Raye we’re meeting with Luna’s parents Kyran and Esmeray since they are the unofficial leaders of the Seleneites

Helios has always wanted to bring Solarians and Seleneites together and so he wants to learn from them about their culture and how they do things

So why not introduce their son and daughter to each other whilst the adults talk politics

Yeah, 12 year old Luna nearly kicks Radius in the shin when he takes the mick out of how she speaks (she’s very eloquent for a 12 year old)

Then Luna takes the piss out of how Radius laughs

It’s a cycle between them until they find common ground, and that is gardening!

Luna loves identifying all sorts of plants and flowers, so much that her parents have said she could have been born on Linphea instead of Solaria

Radius loves potting his plants and flowers, he’ll always help his mother in the garden when his father brings her new flowers

So the two of them get talking about that

And it’s the first and last time they see each other until their first years at Alfea

—-

Now both of them are 17, Radius is at red fountain and Luna is at Alfea

They meet due to a joint party being thrown during the freshers period by some of the specialists and fae

They hit it of, and I mean literally hit it of Luna nearly throttles the poor boy when he accidentally bumps into her only for Marion and Oritel to step in when they think she’s gonna knee him in the balls

Radius falls in love right there right then but doesn’t actually remember who she is (luna does and that’s why she nearly beats the shit out of him)

Luna may be pretty chill but she holds grudges and she’s been holding this one for five years

So Radius plans to woo her, Luna wants to uses him for gossip at first it’s a crazy thing but she grows fond of his determination

—-

Fast forward to their second year, both are 18 and one night at the Sun Dance festival during the holidays their parents reintroduce them

Radius nearly kills himself laughing because he remembers how angry she was at first

Luna still takes the piss out of his laugh

They bond over gardening again

Their parents latch on to this mutual bond and come to an agreement, if all else fail Radius will marry Luna

They don’t tell the kids, letting them bond more naturally

——

And so Luna and Radius fall slowly but surely into love

They announce their relationship into the public a few months after their last years at their respective schools (their around 21/22)

It causes a fucking huge uproar since it’s the first SolSelene relationship WITHIN THE ROYAL FAMILY NO LESS

And that’s where the damage starts

Luna becomes more focused on her guardian duties (around 25 she’s guardian fairy of the selenites)

She and Radius don’t see each other often unless their duties as the respective leaders align or when Luna finds out she’s pregnant

For nine months it’s bliss again they think they’ll make it out of the woods together

It’s bittersweet, they love their daughter but both of them are slowly pulling away from each other and the life they had together

Their around 35/36 when they divorce, Stella is around 14/13

Yeah they were childhood sweethearts, but broke off with each other not only because of the public and media stress but because they could no longer designate the time for each other like they used to

Ugh I’ve made myself cry
