I finally finished this thing that I had for a month- So, yes it is an AU where it would be the other part of the Subcon Kingdom also putting a bit of my Oc's lore in this case :D

This Au is going to be called "Forget Forest" on the recommendation of a friend

Edit: I just noticed that there are a lot of spelling errors in the description of Blade, but it's fixed now :D

[jeiyuuen]

more doodles I found from the pile, I just love Nika who can go pocket-sized and those bendy limbs. This is an AU of sorts but we don't worry about that for now, this is just Law and his new inhuman roommate

Hoyo fandom, I love ya, but I’m on my knees, begging y’all to actually pay attention to the basic lore of the games cause why do so many people keep saying that the Annihilation Gang is all dead???

It’s flat out stated that only Ifrit was killed by Acheron. Akash, Dubra, Caterina and Constance are all still alive.

Hiya :) I've been getting into DSMP animatics, and I love seeing the different interpretations of the character designs even though I only have a vague sense of the lore so far. It's all got cool vibes!! Can I request a drawing of Ranboo or Wilbur, or maybe even both? I'm not sure if they actually ever interact in the story or not, but I'd say interpret the prompt however you want and have fun??

some of my notes (#mynotes) for structuring the pallas pov chapters in part three where their ability to repress has eroded enough that all of the traumatic memories start flooding out like freshly uncorked champagne

[thefaeriefeatherdark]

I do think the wildest part of the Skyrocket/Connie concept is that Visaggio seemed to legitimately believe that Kon-El is like... a D-List superhero. Which is just like, a wild thing to believe considering the Comic Kon won in a fan poll hadn't even finished coming out at the time she pitched her idea.

[that-was-anticlimactic]

one of the worst feelings ever is wanting to write but your hands hurt too much or the words just don’t want to work so you just sit there staring at a half finished doc with tears in your eyes bc you want to write and you need to write but everything is telling you that you can’t

The Spellsmere Circus Thoughts

Are we brainrotting more? Yes! This is just a masterlist that will compile all of my little itty bitty details for the Spellsmere crew. A solid 90% of this applies to both their OG story and the D&D Campaign for the Rizz, since I'm humming and hawing having them just...be the same.

Aspen

By the gods, where do we start with Aspen. My lovely little sunshine incarnate...Well, she's originally from Barovia, one of the oldest Domains of Dread out in the Shadowfell. If we really want to be specific, she's from Vallaki, which was a fortified settlement in Barovia. She isn't overly open about where she's from, but if you get to know her and earn

She loves toys. There was a toy shop in Vallaki, Blinsky Toys, that she recalls fondly walking past growing up. Even when she was thrown out onto the streets, she would set up to rest in front of the toy shop to make sure that she wasn't alone. Gadof Blinsky, the owner of the toy shop, took her in for a little while and had her aid in dressing the dolls that sat in the front window.

Aspen's parents were a part of the Thaani, migrants from Bluetspur that were experimented on by mindflayers. She's not overly open about this out of fear of being chased out.

At the point where the Rizz meets her, Aspen is around 22 years of age.

She is a human/tiefling mix. She appears mostly human, except for sharp teeth, eyes, and tail.

She's always been very energetic and upbeat, but she's definitely learned a lot of her chipperness and positivity from her upbringing in Vallaki. The burgomaster in Vallaki mandated that there was a weekly festival to keep spirits up, so it's no surprise that she's...the way she is.

After her time with Gadof, Aspen ended up in a brothel in the settlement and...worked there for a good chunk of time. While she was a minor, she did work as a barmaid and was responsible for rushing plates and mugs to patrons. The matron was good to her but the patrons were a different case altogether.

Aspen is extremely loving in her gestures, but she is not physically affectionate for a majority of people. She'll do acts of kindness and gifts as her main love languages, but if she lets you touch her, then you're in her golden circle of trust.

Aspen is...naive. She's tried to see the good in the world to the full extent, and does tend to be blind to the damage around her. She's adopted the Burgomaster's way of life, in a way.

The Spellsmere Circus, however, is her family and no one can change her mind. Ciceran had been putting on a show for the dread lord and had met her at quite the opportune moment. They were careful to watch her, seeing if she needed the help or if she was going to be a prime candidate.

With having joined the Spellsmere, Aspen is one of the few who is not in a mirror, and never has been. She thoroughly enjoys the circus.

She sees people like Salem, Toby and Mikko as siblings (even referring to them as such), and Cici, Hjaitr, and Dita as parental/guardian figures. Chase is in a league of his own.

Aspen is not a mainstage performer. She can perform if needed (like she was needed for the Midnight Soirée), but she prefers her little shows along Artists' Alley.

Aspen's main act is contortion, but she can manipulate water with little spells that she's picked up here and there.

She loves bubbles. She firmly believes they're a blessing from the gods.

She used to be afraid of fire until she met Mikko.

Her shoulders are badly scarred from her past. She doesn't hide them, though.

She loves to climb and be thrown about. She's so full of energy that she just has to do something! Anything!

She has four tressyms that protect her tent. Three are hers and have been since she arrived at the Spellsmere (They were a welcome home gift from Ciceran), and the last one was one her and Chase adopted together.

She is a pacifist.

Chase

Chase, our beloved little meow meow, is the newest addition to the Spellsmere family outside of the Rizz members that have fallen...well, into the charm of the place. Note: he is not originally my character, and does belong to @crimsonpups (Thank you, lovely, for allowing me to use him in this beautiful little setting.) The details for this setting are what I've used to adapt him and give him my little flare, but his mannerisms and physical appearance are all crimson's design.

Chase is a painter! A lovely one at that. His nerves get the better of him at times, and his strokes can be shaky, but he's responsible for a majority of the posters and art work around the Spellsmere Circus.

Chase is a recluse. Prior to arriving at the circus, he lived in the Upper City of Baldur's Gate and did not leave his manor. He had a fully prepped staff that did his errands and whatnot for him.

It was love at first sight when he met Aspen. The two connected instantly, and they were wed about two years after he first came through.

Chase is extremely observant. Very, very observant. It's his eye for detail that helps him with his craft, but it also means that he's very aware of the going ons within the Circus Walls. He's just more keen to keep it between him and Aspen rather than share it with everyone else.

Mikko scares the shit out of him. If he sees the man coming, he'll head in the entirely opposite direction.

He's bonded with Salem and Tobias extremely easily. The three of them can be seen eating breakfast together a little earlier than some of the others.

Their proposal was absolutely adorable! He proposed to Aspen as the sun rose on a winter morning. It was just as the snow began to fall, and he knew it was the perfect opportunity. Toby officiated! It was adorable. They did a hand binding ceremony, in honour of Aspen's heritage.

He is a pacifist.

From almost a year ago; what multiple scoliosis looks on me

So, my hip is a lil bit slanted and that makes one of my legs longer than the other; and so my spine tried to balance things out by turning into an S-shape. I never really considered it a disability because I can go on with my day most days without pain, even when the doctor who diagnosed me was like "yup, if you have kids you're gonna suffer even more and by 40 you'll probs need a wheelchair";

however, there are moments after walking for long periods (or really just bad days) where my hips hurt so bad I just wanna pass out, trying to walk real fast makes my right hip make a popping sound and it's painful, like a cramp. When I am with people that walk faster than my top speed (most of my friends rip) I either gotta try to keep up and bear the pain or stay behind watching the distance between us grow. It's really isolating in that sense. I can't lift more than 15k without my back resenting it later (I can't carry one of my dogs :( ) and let's not talk about sports that involve running 😂 I used to dance and that in of itself was a challenge for me; I'd be so sore after each routine, even after warming up. Wearing a back-brace(? Support thingy helps when sitting down for long periods but other than stretching exercises, there isn't much I can do about my fucked up back

Sometime all September and October last year I was going through a very hard time dealing with body image issues. Tbh, I'm still am. So I did the very logical thing of taking some pics and painting them. This was the first time I had ever done some sort of portrait and it was cathartic in a way; I encountered the idea that my body will never look a certain way because of my back issues. I have always had "love handles" more noticeable on one side than the other. I'd think that if my back was a bit straighter, I'd probably not have them at all. The amount of times I've tried to stand as straight as possible, trying to get them to disappear... yeah, that's embarrassing. But oh well, surgery isn't really an option for me so I gotta work on making peace with them🫠. Which is something I want to work on, so here's to that!

Anyways, I spent a good chunk of this month thinking if I should post in this so here it goes aaa

I love how pandas are so entrenched into my theming and personality now that my mom stopped in the middle of her errands to buy me a panda onesie because she saw it and immediate knew I'd want one
