Silly Cedric fun facts :3

He tends to add little questions at the ends of sentences, for lack of a better word? Like "That wasn't so hard, now was it?"

His favorite MLP ponies are Rarity and Octavia!

His favorite Animal Crossing villager is Tia!

He likes foxes!

Salt and vinegar chip enjoyer

There's a magpie that likes to sit in the window and watch whatever he's doing. He named it Parable ouo

Mad that watermelon flavored stuff tastes nothing like watermelons >:C

His favorite soda is Dr Pepper

Drags his feet and sighs the most overdramatic sighhhh when there's a task he doesn't wanna do

Awkwardly steps around puddles and mud and refuses to touch anything dirty- Sometimes he wears these dainty little white gloves and everything

HE WOULD DO THIS

He really likes this himbo from a shitty obscure dating sim that he and Mel decided to play one day

Cedric the type of rapscallion to go "Don't mind if I do" before taking a cookie

[aetherstories]

Some days were good days. Some days were not so good days. And some days were just absolutely abysmal days where the Miqo'te felt like he was more a burden than a boyfriend.

From bumping into things to aether sickness, to his whittling knife slipping and cutting his hand to something as simple as messing up a form during his training, it felt to him like it was a succession of bad luck from start to finish. The guilt he felt at how the relationship felt so one-sided was mounting.

Rhika was supportive every step of the way, and by the gods if Maru didn't want to do something to thank him.

Nothing ever felt like it would be enough though.

Given what he'd endured in the name of being the Warrior of Light, one might think he was entitled to every bit of support he received and owed nothing but that wasn't Maru.

So with his hand taped up, his pride bruised and his stomach rolling, he'd gone in search of something, anything that might be able to suggest the depth of his gratitude to his fellow Miqo'te. But of course there was no such thing.

That evening, showing uncharacteristic disinterest in his food, he finally admitted to his folly.

"I know," he replied to gentle cajoling into eating though he still didn't move to do so. "It's just... I tried to find a gift to say thank you. There aren't words enough to describe how much I've needed you and you've been there for every moment of it. But there wasn't anything I could find that said thank you enough."

There was something in Maru's mind, beside what was now in his hand, and yet Rhika didn't prod. It was a close call, in two different occasions, but he held back. He trusted his boyfriend enough to believe that if it was important, either he'd learn of it at some point or it would make a whole through some building. So, when Maru was ready to tell him, he believed he would.

And so the day went by, and Rhika shelved his worries to a corner of his mind in which they wouldn't hinder his ability to take care of what he wanted to get done that day. If he kept himself more occupied than usual so that the worries wouldn't leave that shelf, then so be it: he might not need to eat, strictly speaking, but he still liked eating well, and he enjoyed cooking.

And unlike him, Maru did need to eat. So his insistence came from more than pride, and with it came the answer to his worries.

For a moment, in truth, he didn't know whether to feel touched or to feel concerned, and yet soon he decided he could very well feel both. And so he sat back on his chair, ears tilted towards Maru, and then nodded, slowly.

"I appreciate that you tried." He said, after a moment.

And he liked gifts. And he treasured them, almost like a magpie in the body of a Miqo'te. But this was not about gifts.

"And I appreciate that you appreciate my support." He added, before twitching one of his ears. He could have worded that better, probably. "But you've also been there for me, when I've needed it."

When he'd been afraid and lost. When he'd needed patience before there could be trust, when he'd been just a new face far too unused to kindness. Every time he'd been lost when dealing with what most would consider normal, after half a decade among Ascians. And even after admitting to the truth, because he refused to keep hiding some truths to someone he cared about.

Y'rhika Tia had not believed in love, and yet he had found it.

"When I needed support, you were there." He said. "I'm your boyfriend, I want to be there for you now. And I don't feel like I'm getting the short of end of the stick." He added. "How... how long have you been feeling like this?"

Had Rhika been making him feel inadequate?

a few hours ago I had the parameters that were at 31-31-29 then I open the cell at random and, after seeing all the updates, I notice that my parameters have "slightly" raised

[ladycibia]

Slytherin kiddos (1/3), also known as the ‘cool, brunette edition’ !!! Because I have zero self-control and a 3 + 1 Ravenclaw set wasn’t enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so...yeah, h-hi there. *ahem* I chose the Slytherin house merely because most of the MCs I know are either Ravenclaw or Slytherin (in fact I don’t know if I’ll be able to make a Hufflepuff/Gryffindor three-part set...oh well, we’ll see!). For this first part I borrowed @theevildoc, @tiablackraven, @wispila, @guakamaya, @kuzmich-isterich and @worthy-worthingtons‘s amazing mcs! I hope you don’t mind and if you do (or didn’t want your mc to take part in this or you aren’t satisfied with the final result or I’ve messed up in any way...) I’m terribly sorry! I acted with the best intentions, you can trust me on that <3

[no53472]

Tia Magpie A1 and Trinity Pennywise B1 please 😉🙏

What’s so funny?

I think I kinda Disney-fied this style, hope you don’t mind.

[slytherpuff98]

Trinity: " I can't believe it! How did you find it?! "

Tia: " You just needed to look around a little longer. "

Trinity: " Thank you! Thank you really much! You seriously are the best! "

And here it is @tiablackraven ~ ❤ I really wanted to thank u for always being the first one to answer me on the server whenever I make some mistake and/or need some help. Not to mention the lovely request you sent to no53472 ~ 😭❤😭 So, I drew Tia helping Trini find a book: hope you'll like the colouring tvb

Chibi Fruit MCs !!!

starring myself, @angie-draws-sometimes, @aemdraws, @guakamaya, @tiablackraven and @theevildoc <3

my original intention was to make a surprise gift for these wonderful people (god only knows how many times they had to deal with me ranting and/or crying on whatsapp and instagram seriously they deserve a friggin’ statue) but I was afraid of messing up with the oufit or picking the wrong fruit and so I just spilled the bean lmao. Oh well, I hope you will like it! ; v ; I’m gonna work on the other chibi set (hopefully) soon! (And since they’re nine in total, I’ll probably make three posts with three mcs each :) please be patient!)

Oh, friendly reminder for those who won a chibi fruit mc or for those who want to commission me one in the future: Mathias’ shirt is the reason you should never, never let me decide your character’s outfit. Y’all’ve been warned

[no53472]

Tia Magpie and Victor Kitsueki for @tiablackraven 💖

Been meaning to draw Tia’s MC for a long while, especially since they introduced their fankid Selene. (And I hope Jam City lets us meet Victor in-game really soon.)

Hope this is okay!

it is, for lack of a better word, funny how my sister’s & my energy levels never sync up bc i’ll be like talking a mile a minute & jumping from one idea to the next like i’m hopping from stone to stone to cross a river, and she’ll be half-asleep on the couch the whole time

Pirates of the Carribean daemons

I don’t know what possessed me to make this but here it is. As a note, I use The Daemon Page (link) as a good reference when looking for daemons, but I mostly use it as a starting point for animals I’m unfamiliar with. Largely my selections are overall general vibes plus some things I think would be great plot/story wise. I also tried my best to avoid the ‘typical’ wolves, Big cats, and birds of prey because I find they’re often overused for main characters to add impact.

Captain Jack Sparrow - Ring-billed Gull. This one I feel pretty good about. Initially I thought a sparrow would be funny, but sparrows and gulls are similar personality wise and gulls just have the wandering-adventurer vibes I wanted. Gulls are wandering, freedom loving creatures, like Jack. He goes where the wind takes him. Gulls are also bold and brash and clever. They’ll march right up to someone and take their food while staring them dead in the eye. They’ll definitely flee from fights whenever possible, but they’re crafty and adaptable and clever and resilient.

Captain Barbossa - White-headed Capuchin (aka the monkey Jack). I thought about looking for something other than the obvious, but it just really worked. Capuchin’s are clever, mischievous, and also very aggressive. Monkeys usually have social hierarchies, and when a monkey is at the top it will do everything it can to stay there. I also just feel like the energy with the two of them is too perfect, I couldn’t imagine anything else that works as well.

Elizabeth Swann - Siamese cat. This one was harder, but it just felt right. Siamese are regal and elegant looking, and can be a little snooty and stuck up at times. But these cats are smart as a whip, get bored super easily and always seem to be on the look out for something exciting or new to learn. I like the thought of a pampered pretty cat at the beginning of the series growing and becoming less polished as Elizabeth roves off at the open sea. I also think it would be a funny bit of foreshadowing for the third movie bit with Singapore. Also, Siamese are loud and bold and dramatic. I mean this in the best way but Elizabeth is also loud and dramatic and will throw herself around to make her point which feels exactly like a Siamese who is trying to get something.

Will Turner - Magpie. Will was the hardest for me to pick. I wanted a bird for him because despite his humble blacksmith beginning he is a pirate in his soul, an adventurer and that to me says wings, flight, and freedom. Magpies are very smart and clever, and Will is a strategist, though sometimes socially obtuse but that’s his charm. Magpies are protective of what is theirs and will throw down to defend their territory. Also, I kept being drawn back to that line in the first film “... and you’re completely obsessed with treasure” and I just think a magpie is a very good thematic representation of that pirate-soul Jack is talking about. This one was mostly vibes and plot/thematic devices but I like it.

Norrington - Dalmatian. So for Norrington I always knew a dog would be for him; he’s loyal, determined, and hardworking. Plus I like the thought of dog daemons being a common thing for people in military/navy/etc type positions along the same vein as ‘servants have dogs’. Dalmatian was my choice of specific breed but I could definitely see other working dogs as his daemon as well. I chose Dalmatian because they are working dogs, they’re loyal and obedient but have a more independent streak in them as well which could translate to his leadership position. Norrington sees the world in very black and white terms, and while I chose Dalmatian half for the joke, they do have selective hearing where they sometimes just don’t hear commands they don’t want to listen to. So I’m taking that as a closed-mindedness that Norrington expresses in his worldview.

Gibbs - Old English Sheepdog. This one was half analysis and half pure vibes. Sheepdogs are friendly and a little rolly-polly, but they’re also guardian dogs which makes them fiercely protective of those under their charge and they will fight when pressed. This suits Gibbs so well, he is so loyal and will take care of Jack or Elizabeth or whoever he decides is under his care. I also think it would be an interesting plot thing that a lot of ‘official’ sailors would have dogs because of their loyalty and willingness to follow others/orders.

Tia Dalma - Saltwater Crocodile. This one I came upon accidentally but fell in love with it immediately. Crocodiles are enigmatic and powerful creatures. They have an ancient powerful energy to them that matches Tia well. They wait for their prey to come to them because they know the deer have to cross the river eventually - Tia knows they will come to her, eventually everyone will want her help and then she will have them. Deceptively serene but able to attack in a moments notice, a crocodile will not enjoy being contained or confined and while it may look content, it will not be satisfied until it has no restrictions. Plus, a crocodile when Tia Dalma lives in a river/swamp is thematically amazing to me.

Tia: "I can't wait to see your gift from Mrs. Weasley Merula! Open it! 😙"

Both: *awkward silence*

Tia: OMG! I can not believe it! we have the same sweater!🤩 Wear it now so we are like a cute couple! 😚💕"

Merula: "HELL NO! 👀"

The Gang’s All Here!!

I’ve always enjoyed making characters and playing the story through their unique points of view; keeps the replay value goin’, y’know? Got a wild idea to slap ‘em together in a glorious mess of… this! So I did!

This was also a really nice project to get my brain off the World At Large and my constant eternal blisteringly hot frustration with representation in viddy games. It’s nice to see so much melanin in one place. :3

So, uh. From left to right, starting in the back!

~Back Row~ Theogaud Ormesang: Tired. So tired. Studies arcanima, with focus on summoning and arcane geometries. Plays a wicked mandolin. Bitter Gale: Talks softly and carries a big axe. Matron of the Ahke Louise, a massive flying ship/sanctuary for victims of trafficking and slave trade. Incredible singing voice. Y’aja Adanna: Retired Warrior of Light adventurer, always working with her hands. Proprietor of Sew it Seams, a tailor shop that specializes in low-cost outfits for new adventurers. Nanachi Nachi:  A wanderer, a friend. Her heart aches but she doesn’t know why. A music box dancer turning to a song she cannot sing.

~Middle Row~

Scorching Jade: Magical Girl with some anger issues. From a parallel Eorzea; learning about this Same But Different world as she figures out how to get back to her team who are also scattered across time and space (and Data Centers)  She doesn’t need to know that last bit. Y’dorha Tia: The original Good Boye. Very cute, and Knows It. Absolutely never uses this to his advantage. Always uses this to his advantage. Gierny Byrde: Garlean, former Imperial soldier; severely injured at Specula Imperatoris. Used the chaos (and being captured by the Eorzean Alliance) to defect, now buries herself in biomechanical engineer studies so she can make herself some RAD prostheses. Hester Haywood: Adopted and raised by a single mother in rural La Noscea. Studying medicine - not healing, medicine - and doing some really reprehensible shit on the side to pay her way through school. 

~’Front’ Row~ Wind-up Y’aja: Created to lighten the load taken up by the Original Y’aja. Runs errands, makes deliveries, etc. while Y’aja Actual handles things at home. Quietly learning about the world, grows more fascinated as the days pass. F’ezah Baveh: Serotonin Machine, chocobo handler. Not a local. Found a neat book and definitely isn’t learning how to set things on fire because of it.  Dedega Dega: Gremblin. Conjuror-turned-Warguy. They KNOW where you hid the chocolate chocobo biscuits and they WILL claim the whole jar as their own. Tatayadi Seseyadi: Ten gallons of emotion in a one-gallon bucket. Owns a small jewelry shop un Ul’dah.  Formidable storm mage, used to guide smuggler ships through bad weather. Does not do that anymore. Magpie T’eal: Hopeless romantic in love with all things. Lives life to its most beautiful while attempting to help others do so as well - if only for a moment.
