#this is such a fun ask game actually

[roomwithanopenfire]

fandom ask game: 2, 12, 13, and 15

Thanks for the ask!!! (from this ask game)

2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

I feel like every time someone asks me about headcanons I literally forget every single head canon ever. Tbh I'm so open to most head canons out there I'll always give them a shot. Most the time when I read anything you say about the Mage I have an initial slightly skeptical "hmmm" reaction before being like "yeah, i can buy into that actually"

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

There's SO many lovely people in this fandom who I could compliment but I'm going to compliment @run-for-chamo-miles!! First of all, Elle's Snowbaz is so soft and lovely, and I love just how real their fics feel. The sorts of details they highlight are just lovely. Every single one of their works that I've read, I've loved—and I definitely plan on slowly making my way through them all <3 (EVEN the RWRB ones, I'm coming for those). But in addition to their writing, I have to compliment them for being so nice and welcoming! Elle was one of the first people who commented on my very first long fic back in 2022, when the only part of the fandom I interacted with was reading and writing fanfic. I remember going onto their page and seeing how much stuff they'd written and being like "wow this super experienced fanfic writer is reading my stuff!" 😭 Pretty sure they were one of the first people I followed on Tumblr and they roped me into Six Sentence Sunday at the end of last year, which was the push I needed to be active in this fandom—which has been so much fun!! They are literally so nice all the time in tags and reblogs and it always makes me smile to see them in my notifs. (Also, Elle, how do you make replies to comments SO NICE? literally cheesing reading your replies to my comments on your fics💗💗💗 You've got to be one of the sweetest people ever!)

13. your favorite type of fandom event (gift exchange, ship week, secret santa, prompt meme, etc)

I don't know if I've done enough events to know my favorite. I've only done big bangs and fic exchanges. I had so much fun doing the COBB this year and I'm doing a mini bang for the stranger things fandom right now, and I just think it's so fun to make something with someone else. Also the one fic exchange I've done was also so fun—to write a fic with someone else in mind is so cool. Honestly, I just love the idea of fandom events and the community it brings!!

15. the character that always makes you smile

I can't pick, I love too many characters. Baz and Simon for the basic answer I guess 😅

Do Tails as a mad scientist and Sonic as Frankenstein or Tails’ experiment! 🎃

BEEP BEEP!!!! Mayday delivery!! 🧨🧨🔥🔥

not exactly sure what date but somewhere within This Week! marks my first 1 year of being an actual NSR fan (and my subsequent upwards spiral since then) so to celebrate i am throwing a BIG PARTY in FESTIVAL PLAZA and ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED!!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑 Just kidding. there is no party. BUT! below the Keep Reading i will share some of my earliest (and somewhat crude) drawings of mayday (and a bit of zuke). it feels like it's been ages since then...

transitional phase....... these range from like november 2023 to march 2024 i believe? in no particular order

fun fact about me; i used to be a Strictly total drama fanartist and i preferred to draw pretty on-model to the very heavily stylized characters in the show. it was kind of difficult going from... that (Hardly ever venturing out of my comfort zone) to the oh-so-scary and intimidating world of No Straight Roads. in order to make art i'd be happy with, i'd have to inevitably get used to THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPAACE and... *gulp...* Dy.. Dy... DYNAMIC ANGLES!!!!!!!

love is one hell of a motivator however. and i love this schtewpid game and i love its world and characters and most of all i love MAYDAY!!! and here i am Today! obviously i still have a long looonngg way to go and much to learn but i've still come pretty far. and i'm pretty proud of myself! 🐊🐊🐊

Oh my, is that really what I think it is...?

It is!! Another little creature has arrived! And it's so fluffy too! Though that isn't gonna do much in this hot weather!

Here, have some food, little guy. And come inside! I'm sure the others would love to have you!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

That's right guys, Rain Wool is back in business!! Now that I'm getting back into the swing of needle-felting and FINALLY have lots more core wool to make all sorts of projects with, it's only right that I keep on going with this project, especially since, after Saint, I'm only one away from being done with the slugcats! I apologize for waiting so long to continue on with this project, but going forward I hope to start felting more of these guys more frequently.

In the meantime, however, I'm happy to finally share this fluffy little green bean!

It probably isn't very visible in these images, but on the cheeks, arms, and tail I intentionally left the wool less felted in for a softer, fluffier appearance. Since I have barely any of the straight wool roving felters normally use for long hair, this is my general go-to method for fluffy creatures.

I still think he looks adorable though, and I'm so excited to be close to finishing the slugcats!

Well, I hope you enjoy this new Rain Wool content! Hopefully there will be more to come soon!

Because I love the idea of DU drow as a companion... how would you recruit him? Where do you find him, and what's his intro cutscene?

Hi, I've been thinking about this since I got this message :V

There's this nautiloid pod somewhere nearby the Owlbear cave right? So those things were just crashing all over the place, not just near the beach where the actual ship fell. I believe his pod could have had a similar fate and fallen somewhere off the beaten path.

Mind you that, In this scenario, waking up from the pod and onto the forest map would have been DU Drow's first-ever conscious minutes ever since having his mind wiped, so he truly has no fucking idea of what just happened - he just knows his head is in shambles and that he needs to survive for long enough for his memories to return, assuming they ever will. So, his immediate instinct would be to retreat away from where the people are.

I think underneath the bridge, where there's running water and some fauna/flora would be a good spot to find him. Players might take a day or two until they stumble across this weirdo companion and so they are more in the loop than he would be. You'd find a little blood-trail leading you down there, and eventually spot a fist's corpse with no shoes near the river - DU drow would be crouched down by the water washing blood off himself:

While the rest of the party may have been picked off random places as they went about their days, this guy was busy being dissected and put back together over and over again - and there's no way Kressa bothered to dress him back up fully before he was taken away from her (me allowing the man to have pants on at all is a mercy onto you all) so he begins with no armor, but to make up for that fact he's the only companion who begins with a great-sword, which he would have stolen from the fist.

When you approach he is perfectly calm, In fact, he doesn't seem all that there. He stands up and appears half-ready for a fight, but lets you speak first. You can either ask what he's doing here, or about the corpse. You get more or less the same answer to both:

If you successfully persuade him, he tells you with no particular tone of shame or remorse that you got him, he did kill him, however he claims he was attacked first. Whether you pry into his mind with the worm, or have a scroll of read-thoughts, you get the same narration:

"Behind the aloof facade, you find the drow's mind to be in a concerning state of disarray: dozens of thoughts racing, jumbled, all at once, each trailing into the next before you can catch a hint of substance. You don't find the answers you were looking for, just red goo."

You CAN however use speak to the dead on the corpse. If you do that, it's revealed that he is actually telling the truth; The fist found him and assumed him to be with the drow who raided Wakeen's rest. Otherwise, you have to either take his word for it, attack him, or leave him.

He will refuse your offers to join you/go to your camp until you reveal to him that you have been tadpoled - either through using the Illithid-worm option, or telling him upfront through normal dialogue. If you didn't peer into his head earlier, you will now, confirming to yourself and him that he's also been infected. Then, you can tell him you're looking for a cure, and he will agree to travel along. This gets you approval from Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion, and disapproval from Lae'zel, Wyll, and Gale.

If you attack, he's as easy a fight as any companion would be at that point. If you choose to leave him be/not tell him about your worm so he refuses to join, he will appear at your camp after two long rests, basically forcing himself to into your party unless you kill him. You find him hanging out around Withers and he tells you he's decided to travel with you from now on, and that he will make himself comfortable.

If you ask for his name, he tells you to just call him whatever you want to (cue like 5 joke dialogue answers - he responds to all of them with a snort and you get approval if you pick any flattering ones). Whatever you ask about him gets you a very blunt, vague response. If you have Shadowheart in your party/are playing as her, she implies he may be suffering from memory loss, finally prompting him to admit to it. Otherwise he only reveals this after a couple more long-rests.

Fiber artist challenge of the day: weave in those damn ends

[the-phantom-peach]

thank you SO MUCH for not posting EoW art yet! fandom isn’t a race to see who can draw the thing first and i respect you for making that decision. i didn’t even watch the trailer to avoid all gameplay and plot spoilers so i’m glad i don’t have to unfollow you to continue that streak ((you’re the only LoZ artist i follow ;))

Not a problem! I will however be posting some art soon so if anyone else is still avoiding spoilers please be sure to filter out tags for echoes of wisdom!

(this ask is over a week old so I wanted to wait a bit before posting anything eow. It will be spoiler heavy!)

Every design that you made for the FNAF crew is how I constantly envision them now. Game William 100 percent looks like that 👍

Yall let me know who you’d like to see designed next!
