#the nine parchments

[paladingineer]

You know something I really love about the characters in Nine Parchments? How much they subvert common character tropes.

They didn't have to do that. They could have just gone with the bog standard archetypes. It's a cast-em-up, not an RPG. But they designed these characters with so much personality and so much love went into them.

The rich kid isn't the bratty queen bee, he's a sweet-natured bullied outcast.

The fire mage isn't hot-blooded, he's a soft-spoken old man who runs a bakery.

The ice wizard isn't distant and stoic, she's boisterous and energetic and friendly.

The healer isn't a bleeding heart, she's grumpy and not here to make friends.

The shadow mage is as angsty and edgy as you'd expect, but he looks like a disney prince, complete with poofy slashed sleeves.

And they all have so much personality. The game itself is fun, but without the characters and their interactions it would ultimately be pretty forgettable. It's the wizards themselves that really make the game.

God I love them.

Second Nine Parchments fanart: furry cat warlock in his full glory :D 

That's what I love about Trine and Nine Parchments: beautiful enchanting locations and cool characters! 

And 9 parchments is fully about students from magic school and must I really say that I'm a magic establishment's simp? (well, now you know...)

+ sketches! Nevermind the text, it's just "AaAa cAt HE's awesome love his voice Aaaa" 😍

Shadow Magic

An old Selius pic!

[cizzle-freezy]

Another TTRPG character! She was originally a Nine Parchments/Trine fan character, but I decided to repurpose her for @jessebizarreart's introductory campaign since all of us will be new to Pathfinder!

I was originally wanting to emulate the Nine Parchments artstyle, while also remaking her to be more... interesting? She definitely looked very different initially (the original design will put under the cut).

X-mas Selius, that's it. Happy holidays

Me: I wonder how many works this fandom has on AO3

Me emerging from the depths: well that was a fun two hours I guess.

One Card A Day Tarot Reading

Day 4

Date: 1-4-25

Deck: The Literary Tarot. I haven't read this deck yet either.

Intention: I keep thinking of things I could do with my life, but something always stops me. How do I work past the part of my brain that always says, "Why bother?"

Card: Nine of Parchment

Imagery: At the bottom of the card sit nine women holding gold-foiled slips of paper. All but two are dressed in gray-blue robes; the one in the center wears red, and one to the side wears green. They sit on the ground at the foot of a Japanese style building. Behind the scene, a woman wearing white and red face paint with a gold-foiled comb in her hair partially obscures her smiling face as she writes on her own gold-foiled parchment. Her robes are green with a pattern of yellow flowers. This scene comes from The Pillow Book by Sei Shōnagon.

First impression: I'm unfamiliar with both this deck and the book the card is based on. I've read the introduction to the deck in the guidebook and I know the suit of Parchment is similar to Pentacles in standard tarot decks, so this card reflects the material. Beyond that, no idea.

Guidebook says: Success, achievement, leisure, material security, self-sufficiency. After much hard work and dedication, you have succeeded in delighting the court with your sharp wit and eye. Take time to enjoy the spoils of your labor. Trust the value of your perceptions, and protect the priceless treasure that is your detailed observations.

Second impression: Keep faith in the After. You always forget that it'll be there to meet you when you're done. Why bother? You could always be bothering yourself with something less worthwhile. It's called "bettering yourself" for a reason.

Evening reflection: So. I'm thinking about going back to school. I dont suppose any if you know anything about speech language pathology?

Happy Valentine's Day to the six people in the world who are part of this fandom. I'm generating half the fandom's content by myself so I get to choose the ship to shamelessly spam content for. So, gay wizard boys.

if not meant to be couple why official art fit together so cute with minimal edit

It's a bit belated, but a very merry and blessed Christmas to you, my lovelies, @thegardenerknight, @thethiefinwhite and @lepetitcaporal! Thank you for all the fun times! <3

I Believe This is Yours, Miss.

I usually don't do any backgrounds for my pictures, so this painting was a bit more ambitious than usual. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out; though, I did have a lot of trouble getting the sky to look right. (In my opinion it still looks a bit weird.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
