I got tagged by @gunkreads to post 9 of my favorite characters. From least favorite to most favorite (but they're all special)

9. Thufir Hawat (Screencap from the Denis film)

8. Shikamaru Nara (Screencap from the show) His short arc following Asuma's defeat was just fantastic

7. Roy Mustang (another screencap)

6. Karis Nemik Man what a singular character. What a dude that Star Wars so desperately needed.

5. Samwise Gamgee A lot to love about the man, but carrying cooking equipment into your grand adventure speaks to me in ways I don't have words for

4. Mordin Solus "Had to be me. Someone else could have gotten it wrong."

3. Sansa I can and I will write essays about what she means for and to me. But not yet.

2. Baru Cormorant I had so much trouble trying to pick a fav from these books. Tau, and Xate Yawa both stand out so much. But in the end I loved these books b/c of Baru from the very first page. Patron saint of mean autistic lesbians everywhere, it's the traitor herself. (If you want find fantastic art of her or other characters from the series you should check out Arian's art tags [I'll tag her later on in this post])

He's the blueprint. The first character I read and realized was both unreliable and good. He's kind. He's cunning. He cannot stop lying to himself. I was (in my deadname) literally named after him: Matrim Cauthon (Art by Seamas Gallagher)

I'll tag @arianwells and @staticvoicebox to keep it going :3

I think one of my favourite tropes in queer fiction is a lesbian and a gay man becoming absolute worsties, just pure frenemies, siblings who annoy each other so much, but who will also get protective over the other and risk their own lifes cuz "that's my sibling, you bitch".

[spiribia]

my warrior cats original characters named svirakir and baru cormorant. in my warrior cats universe the leaders are called cryptarchs (denoted by a pole star painted on their face in blood). oh sorry i meant her name is agonystar

[darling-child-tisarwat]

Baru: If I were an animal, what animal do you think I’d be? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY.

Tain Hu: A fisher cat

Xate Yawa: A rat

Muir Lo: A rat

Governor Cattleson: A rat

Svirakir: A rat

Shao Lune: You’d be a rat

Tain Shir: Baru you’re a rat

Ormsment: You’d be a rat

Tau-Indi: I think you’d be a rat

Baru: I think I’d be a lioness. (talking to herself) I think so too. I would be a lioness-cormorant hybrid mix. Queen of the jundgle—jundgle—but still social but with a—ffferocious.

i also found this which I drew back in June when it was the hot meme and then I looked at what I had created and was like “oh this is some real ‘audience of one’ shit” so it went in the drawer. but you know what, the important thing is I make myself laugh and I still think this is funny

[shootingst4rpress]

Unfortunately Svirakir Mansion Prince of Hussacht is a Kiryuu Touga and if you understand this youre blessed and if you dont i simply cant help you

[ghostcradle]

apparitor svirakir is really the funniest character ever bc he’s got the gayest tragicest backstory ever but his million different plots and plans to achieve his happy ending keep falling apart bc his dyke coworkers just could not care less about his gay tragic backstory

[patricida]

ik svirakir is fucked up but he's literally so funny. imagine one of the most powerful people in the continent was a loser. and gay

i love toxic people

Okay here’s the very rough outline of my baru cormorant x locked tomb crossover…. If you have suggestions let me know… Major spoilers for both book series. Also I want to clarify this isn’t going to be a very long multi-chapter thing, I’m hoping to keep this under control and have it be a collection of scenes in chronological order that cover everything. Like I’m absolutely wanting to keep this below 20k words so it doesn’t destroy me.

Taranoke is a planet destroyed and flipped by the lyctors and the cohort. One of the lyctors, Farrier, realizes baru had a spark of necromantic ability and saves her (promising to protect her parents) and sends her to a top necromantic school. Without the knowledge of the emperor (renascent) he secretly trains her when he visits and keeps an eye on her progress. She is given Muire lo as a cavalier, and becomes fast friends with Aminata, the cavalier to croftare. Throughout her studies, baru learns more and more about how the nine houses are run, and decides to overthrow them from the inside, with the ultimate goal of killing all the lyctors and the emperor, so that no more planets are flipped and the war can end. Upon graduation, baru is sent to the ninth house to become their sole necromancer, as the previous ones have all died of a deadly pox, and is told a chance to ‘ascend’ will be sent her way in due time.

There, she of course meets tain Hu, as well as oathsfire, Lyxaxu, and Unuxekome, among others. Midway through her stay, as she’s working to restore the ninth house to its former glory, Muire lo becomes ill and dies. Heartbroken, baru hides away to grieve, before being forced at last to pick a replacement cavalier. As oathsfire and some of the other dukes are all cavaliers with significant experience with their late necromancers, it’s expected she’ll choose one of them, but she instead picks Tain Hu. This is not only because she trusts her beyond any other, but also because she hopes the taboo of a necro/cav relationship will make her crush on her go away (it doesn’t, not at all.)

They of course get the invitation to Canaan house. Aminata and croftare are there, somewhat taking the role of palamedes and Camilla, and the third house is Yawa and olake. Cytherea is a member of the cancrioth, haven’t settled on one in particular. Things go much as they did in GTN, except Yawa is also forced to eat olake’s soul, not willingly, which devastates her. Plus, croftare dies without a plan like palamedes did, but Aminata survives. Baru has solved the lyctor theorem, has at a point probably known for a while and just repressed it, but comes up with a desperate and wild gambit. Meanwhile, When Hu sacrifices herself, Baru tells her she has a plan, and will see her soon. After defeating the rogue lyctor, baru writes the letters to her future self, and ropes Yawa into helping her do brain surgery, with Yawa firmly on her side in contrast to ianthe, as she also wants revenge for being forced to use up her brother.

The lyctors are farrier (cav unknown), hesychast (with iscend as his cav, who takes over his body occasionally like Pyrrha did to g1deon), svirakir (iraji was his cav), yawa and her cav, and tain shir (unknown cav). Baru feels a massive headache when she sees shir, and to a lesser extent, yawa. Shir tries to kill baru, but not because she’s told to by the emperor, but for revenge since she knows baru consumed her cousin’s soul, which confuses baru because she has no idea why shir is doing what she’s doing. Nobody else tells her why, just is cryptic about it thinking she’s insane, and yawa can’t tell her without compromising the plan. Instead of Camilla meeting her on one of the planets, Aminata meets her and Yawa instead, as she was given instructions to by baru, who thought of everything even if she can’t remember it. She took Hu’s body from Canaan house, and upon seeing it baru remembers everything. With yawa’s help, they heal Hu’s body with lyctor powers and insert Hu’s soul. This gives their souls a connection where baru can use some lyctor abilities while Hu can do her own thing, and they have telepathy across even large distances, and Hu can use some of Baru’s necromantic stuff, too.

Yawa had managed to get a blood sample from the emperor, and gives it to Hu and Aminata. While baru and Yawa continue to deceive the emperor, Aminata and Hu travel to the ninth house and use her newfound connection with baru and the vial of blood to break into the locked tomb. With telepathy, they coordinate the perfect moment, when the emperor is vulnerable from a resurrection beast attack, to unseal the Body. As the beast and the Body attack renascent at the same time, they are forced into the stoma and banished. The resurrection beasts pass on, now that their revenge is sated, and farrier is killed in the process. Shir of course is now on their side, and iscend takes permanent control over hesychast, and svirakir disappears. The nine houses as they know it is completely toppled, the secret to lyctorhood is kept hidden forever, and they work to help everyone heal and eventually thrive without their influence. They try to return life to Taranoke, and the what was the ninth house is restored to its former glory. Baru, Hu, and Aminata are in a polycule. The end <3
