Night drop of sketches with Eli Vanto.

In addition to the canonical appearance, I sketched a version of the “commodore” from my Eleventh Fleet AU.

Because we need MORE bearded Eli'van'to, otherwise only Karyn with a cape :3

You have a light touch, huh?

[galedekarios]

i am unwell again about act iii gale and the variations the astral sea/boat scene can have:

node context: genuine, vulnerable - the player just told him they loved him in a way no one else has gale: i conjured this illusion often during my confinement in waterdeep. an escape for the mind where there was none for the body. it was easier to stare at the celestial abyss than recognise the emptiness within myself. easier to pretend my destiny lay among such stars, than work to salvage a life on solid ground. you changed all that.

I haven't posted anything on Tumblr for years, BUT that silence is broken for Thrawn.

I've read 7.5 Thrawn books in the last couple of months, I'm in deep, it's become my Roman empire, and that behind the scene photo from Ashoka fucked me up.

tumblr would eat the ark animated series the fuck up if wildcard bothered to promote it at all

like oh my god there’s so much

they actually expanded on helena’s aboriginal heritage! we have so many “historical” scenes that entirely are in latin and lakota and cantonese (i think, correct me if im wrong) it’s wonderful! the importance of violence as part of resistance is a major theme! the importance and significance of found family is central! the bond between John and Alasie wounded me! Also the sheer levels of sapphic pining between helena and mei-yin jesus fucking CHRIST. That one hot gladiatrix. the action is great. THERES DINOSAURS.

Ascendence Series + Short Stories

I decided to put together a chronological complete list of all the books of the Ascendence Series with all the short stories I could find that Jennifer Nielsen wrote as extras/background stories or to fill in the gaps! I tried to find links for all of them, if a link does work, let me know!

All Stories + Novels In Chronological Order—

Just a disclaimer! Don’t read the first 4 stories before you read The False Prince! They contain spoilers for the first book but are meant to take place before the events of The False Prince, which is why I’ve ordered them thus!

The Roast

THE FALSE PRINCE

Roden’s Revenge

Spent a lot of the afternoon doodling~ I love these two :D

Rozemyne definitely has more methods, but this is a ~sample~ :D

The bottom half of that first panel is an example of what my sketchbook looks like 😂 (absolute chaos)

The devil is in the details - the attention costume designers put into this is amazing, wear & tear over the years at the collar & fasteners. I also love the thought of Thrawn staying true by wearing his uniform everyday but also sewing his own buttons/ clips back on his tunic 🤣

Gunther is father of the decade.

He loves his daughter so much he was willing to die for her and then he did the exact oposite. He gave her up at age 8 and swore an oath to protect her by pretending she died and living the rest of his life morning her and never seeing her or speaking to her again.

Literally his goal in life was to for his daughters to be healthy and happy and he chose to carry this secret to his grave.
