#under the aegis

[vimeddiart]

I posted all of Under the Aegis on Tapas!

This was my first ever webcomic, finished in 2017 and previously only published to Webtoon due to publishing rights.

It's now free to binge! 🙌🏼

redrew my first fanart made for @vimeddiee webcomic, Under the Aegis, in 2016

i won't curse y'all with the original but please read the webcomic if you haven't yet (it's never too late), it inspired my little young creative heart and i still think about it and all the characters often

What part of the Fallout setting and themes would you want to focus on if you got to decide on the direction of a new game?

Observation that's been boiling in the back of my head since forever is that out of all the games in a series where the tagline is that War Never Changes, New Vegas is about war to an extent that the other games never really approach. Really the only example of a traditional ground war between peer states or something akin, with articulated battle lines, points of contention, supply chain issues and the like. Fallouts 1 and 2 get at least a partial pass because they're set before humanity's redeveloped the capacity for state on state violence; 3 and 4 are trying to be about Wars but kind of flail their arms on that front, 4 in particular. Regardless I want more of New Vegas's energy on this front.

Ohhh wowwwww mr beast is getting cancelled? Who could have seen thiiiiissss coming

refs for my recently added primary muses! from left to right, they are:

PATCHES ( A Link Between Worlds, Triforce Heroes )

dyes his hair with irene's help ( natural colour is dark brown )

the earrings are a gift from gulley!

their green tunic is really just their work uniform, so it tends to be paired with their apron when they're on the clock. they rarely wear their blue or red mails and usually leave them at home rather than in their inventory

the brace he's wearing postgame is a ( much less powerful ) replica of the one ravio gifted him that he forged himself

LINH ( Spirit Tracks )

as he's hylian-komo, his ears are smaller than most hylians'

it didn't take long for the novelty of the soldier's getup to give way to the discomfort of being in it, so those were replaced with his engineer's uniform as soon as they could be ( and returned to zelda postgame )

while he gave the spirit flute back to zelda after their journey, she eventually gifted him a pan-flute she personally commissioned for him <3

CORI ( The Minish Cap )

even when he's not actually wearing it, he'll always have ezlo's hat on him somewhere ( usually tied around a wrist, forearm, or bicep )

like patches, his tunic is his work uniform! as it's the most "official" outfit he has, he wears it when patrolling hyrule or otherwise travelling — hanging out with zelda is the only time he really takes it off postgame

looooves roc's cape for how it makes him look minish-like when it fully covers him, but also, when paired with his pegasus boots, running becomes a recreational activity sdlfkjs

If I had a nickel for every country where military service is compulsory for men and my favourite musicians are from there, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened two times.

Remember my first webcomic, Under the Aegis?

It's now up on Tapas! ✨ Updates Tuesdays & Fridays.

Why, you ask? After all this time?

Well, since it was contract work with Webtoon, and Webtoon is making profits from it (and ad money) which I don't see a cent of, plus I have no control over the series due to it being a Webtoon product so I can't change it or move it, I decided to make a backup on Tapas.

I signed on with Webtoon in 2015 and they published UtA until it ended in 2017. They had exclusive e-publishing rights until 2020 (which was when I started to work on UtA ebooks to sell). I stopped getting paid in 2017, but UtA has been profitable for WT ever since.

I decided to make another home for UtA on Tapas, so that folks could enjoy it and reread it there, and where I had more control over publishing! It feels nice to organise it the way I want, and I'm feeling all my old feelings about my characters again 🥺

Just checking it out there and/or sharing already helps bunches 🙏🏼

Thank you!

Late as HELL to this but. ✨✨✨✨ Have some sparkles for OC facts

Hehe, don't worry, Berry! I still have sparkles to work through in my inbox, so you really aren't late at all. Thank you very much for sending these!!~

(source: this post by dragonsmooch)

Send me ✨ for a random thing about one of my OCs! (Optional: You can specify one!) - ..You know what, you said you wanted to hear more about Ruby (thank you for saying that, by the way!!), so, how about I use these to talk about her more like I said I would?~

Ruby is.. sort of like a Blade and also not at the same time, courtesy of how Pyra is one of the Aegis Blades while Sapphire is technically human but also inadvertently a Blade Eater (albeit that's not part of Sapphire's genetics, so it wouldn't have passed down to Ruby). I think she would be able to heal from injuries fairly easily like Blades do, and maybe also get ether lines when she gets excited about things, and possibly be able to summon a weapon or draw on elemental ether if she practiced enough? But, she doesn't have a Core Crystal or need a Driver or anything, and she probably ages like a human would (at least initially). She also has a lot of Gormotti features, since Sapphire is Gormotti. So, in the end.. it's probably easier to just say that she's Ruby =P

Speaking of weapons.. Ruby ends up being pretty good at wielding weapons even from quite a young age, courtesy of Sapphire and the Garfont Mercenaries. Sapphire's own childhood largely consisted of the mercs all teaching her how to do stuff she was probably too young for (like how to wield a knife), so while Ruby's own training would probably be a lot more organised (maybe she could practice things with Poppi?), you could say that having that proficiency is something of a family tradition, hahaha

And, speaking of Poppi, she and Ruby are very close!! They definitely see themselves as sisters, and spend a lot of time playing together. Ruby is also very friendly with Ursula, but due to her having a much shyer personality compared to Ruby's more rough-and-tumble one, the two of them aren't quite as close by comparison. Not by much, though - especially since Ruby is super supportive of all of Ursula's musical endeavours, which Ursula really appreciates!!

..Okay, this last thing is technically spoilers, specifically for XC3 rather than XC2. It also explains the process of how Ruby comes into existence. Therefore, it's going under the readmore. However, so as not to make people feel they have to read that.. those people's fourth sparkle fact can be that Vandham definitely cried a lot when meeting Ruby for the first time. He was also the first one to meet her.

Okay, now for the "actual" fourth sparkle fact:

So, you may be wondering what I meant when I said in my tags that "I hesitate to specifically call her a fankid because in some ways the game actually made her up before I did", if you spotted that. This is because, well.. Ruby is my way of taking what's in That One Image From The End Of XC3(TM) that you mentioned and making it something I'm much more comfortable with the idea of.

Long story short.. the babies seen in The Image(TM) are not Rex's. He is standing front and centre of the picture purely because it's being taken in Leftheria. They could well be Mythra's, Pyra's, and Nia's respectively, if you want them to be (and in my version of events the one Pyra's holding is Pyra's), but regardless of whose they are.. All of those three are Blades, and exceptionally powerful ones as well - Pyra and Mythra could well be called demigods of their world, for example. This means I'm saying it's entirely possible for them to be able to just.. create new living organisms using the data within their Core Crystals, potentially even incorporating genetic information from others if desired (since that'd also be accessible to the Aegis Blades), rather than having to go through any sort of actual pregnancy or anything remotely of that nature.

This therefore explains how Ruby came about, and how she has genes from Sapphire and Pyra. In fact.. I'm officially saying that that is baby Ruby in the picture!

See, you can even see her tiny cat ears! And her hair is red but lighter than Pyra's because it has some of Sapphire's blonde hair mixed in!

This is why I said that the game made Ruby up before I did, because it was only after finding out about The Image(TM) that the idea of her first came to mind. At this point, I have to say I'm pretty proud of how I've sorted this out, at least from my own point of view, just because it makes me a lot more comfortable with The Image(TM)'s existence ^~^

I hope that all of that was alright!! Thank you very much once again for sending in these sparkles - I hope that what I have written for them was okay! ^-^

💥 / for jiaoqiu and chenhua! ❤️

Send 💥 for a headcanon I’ve always wanted to talk about. @memovia

Jiaoqiu's childhood home is a small village tucked away in the mountains bordering Rainsoar Lake, and as a young boy, he would often venture down towards the lake shore to not only forage for wild plants, fungi, and herbs, but to also take a swim in its cool waters during hotter days. Afterwards, he'd shake out the water from his hair and fur, slip on the herb basket filled to the brim with the ingredients he harvested, and make his way through the forest path back towards his village, where he would then set aside some of the spoils so they could be sold during the next market day. The rest would be for his family's use.

The Third Abundance War was... a very tense time for Chenhua, to say the least. The Artisanship Commission had practically worked overtime to meet the demands of the ongoing conflict, with weapons and starskiffs being manufactured and sent out far more frequently than ever before in her career. It was the closest that the threat of the Abominations of Abundance had been to her home, and though the Alliance was ultimately victorious at the end, it had still cost the lives of so many. Chenhua had not lost anyone close to her during the war, but her heart still felt heavy for a time in the aftermath of it all, and while she's thankful that the Luofu has been living in relative peace and safety for many centuries due to Jing Yuan's leadership, sometimes she wishes that they didn't have to fight at all. She knows that can't happen until the abominations are eradicated, however --something she's fully aware will more than likely not happen in her lifetime.
