Hey Raven! 👋🏻 I just went through your #my art, and i wanted to tell you that i really really really like your artworks of Miss Raven and Co. You truly put a lot of effort into your artwork, and it shows! With each new drawing, you seem to be getting better! ✏️💕

As i mentioned earlier, i really liked your Miss Raven drawings! they're so cute! especially when you drew Miss Raven in alternative clothing. I also like how much detail you put in your designs for Miss Raven, like the ones for the Fairy Gala or Masquerade Ball are so beautiful 🥺 and still fit her character!

The one you did with her wearing different dorm uniforms from each dorm was such a cool idea! it was interesting to see how she may have appeared if Miss Raven was transferred to said dorms! call me biased, but i liked the octavinelle design the most 😂 but poor Miss Raven. If she had to work part-time in Mostro lounge, she'll have to avoid two predatory Eels 😭 One wants to tease her while the other either wants to squeeze her or dump all his work on her cuz he isn't feeling it today, then there's Azul who takes advantaged of the fact that Miss Raven is close to headmaster Crowley and makes profit 📈 Run Miss Raven Run!!!

Anyway, I think i'm going to steal her away and fight off a certain dangerous and manipulate Eel, a Skilful Hunter, a Lazy Lion, and a dude with the power of christ (idk is Rollo x Raven even a thing?!).

I always look forward to seeing a new artwork of yours truly~

[Referencing this tag!]

Wehhh 😭 I’m glad you find enjoyment in my silly little doodles! Art is definitely an area I’m less comfortable with, but I do like dabbling in it when the mood strikes.

There’s something therapeutic in designing a new look for your OC! You take the time to consider their individual style, the overall theme, and how you can marry the two to create a cute outfit~ I’m really happy with how Raven’s Fairy Gala Couture came out; it’s definitely one of my favorite looks for her. The Masquerade outfit was also fun for me to assemble, but it seems a lot less cohesive in hindsight (probably because I didn’t line + color it, so it’s harder to distinguish individual elements??).

The NRC dorm uniforms (+ the sequel with RSA and NBC uniforms) was another cool project! I think my favorites from those are the Heartslabyul look (just because I’m a sucker for the Alice in Wonderland aesthetic + Raven is twisted from the raven in its infamous riddle), the Diasomnia look (it gives “fairy tale princess turned knight” energy), and the Noble Bell look (because the extra fabric is nice and flowy). You can see how the environment and the personality of each school/dorm influences her, right? ^^ It’s also interesting to think about how differently Raven might have turned out if each of these places had more of an influence on her life.

Bruh 💀 I think she’d die if she worked at the Mostro Lounge, dealing with customers and shady coworkers and employer… though that’s not to say that any of the other dorms would necessarily be better! Miss Raven would have gripes with or rivals in each of them somehow. It’s the Night Raven College way, I guess??

One of these things is not like the other… Looking back on it, 3 out of 4 of those are basically predatory-prey dynamics there there’s a type developing and I don’t know if I like it/j 😂 I’d say Jade’s the “main” love interest, while Rook’s the “oh, he’s cute” one… L*ona kind of started as a crack ship but now I think it’s more of a one-sided thing?? Like, Miss Raven still sees L*ona as sort of a rival, whereas he’s grown a little fond of her but knows he can’t do much to sway her… It’s the eternally “second place” syndrome… 😔

Rollo has the most complex relationship with her (sure, call it a ship if you want 😂), built primarily on a strange savior complex. He did some heinous stuff and dislikes her because she’s very pro-magic—but I think there’s a part of him that feels like she’s a lost lamb that’s been led astray by Draconia and therefore he needs to “save” and “correct” her. Problem is, he’s bad at Emotions so his anger gets redirected at Miss Raven herself. Meanwhile, Miss Raven realizes the similarities between herself and Rollo, so she wants to be a friend to him. She sort of forces him to be her pen pal (thinking that writing down how he feels will help him cope with what happened). So weirdly enough, Raven wants to “save” Rollo and Rollo wants to “save” Raven (but both suck at communicating well).

Who knows, we’ll see how things play out from here Nd when the whim to draw strikes next 📝

YOUR TAGS MAKE ME INSANRRE 😭💗💗💗

gale dickarios loves soooo intensely. i didn’t even catch how he said that he loved tav more than mystra and what that meant especially given the fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself for her forgiveness initially aaAaaAah 😩

YESSSS and like wehhh that's smth i love so much about his romance path too is like. at first his devotion can be SO endearing and flattering and intense, but when you think about it and HOW he loves tav in context with his relationship with Mystra... it's SO SAD??? like it's constantly so clear that he thinks so poorly of himself and what he can give you is never enough....

i think too that's why it's so easy for his bad endings to not seem so bad (at least to me... tee hee 🙈) because he's finally fighting back against someone who reinforced this idea of not being good enough and hiding truths from him and talking down to him... and he's able to reclaim that power from her... but then at the same time you're not really seeing him the way he needs to be seen to HEAL and to love.... claiming godhood in a sense kind of reaffirms that he's not enough as a mortal being with flaws (even if he posits the idea that he doesn't WANT to be a god or at least a god like all the others- it's eventually inevitable, bc he's separated from his mortality and what makes him human)

and like the complete and utter devotion to tav in and of itself isn't bad- in fact it's something that he maintains even in his good endings (he loves you for YOU just as you love him for HIM- even if you become illithid... it's YOU so who cares about all the rest??)- it's just about finding that balance and healthy ways to apply the devotion WITHOUT devaluing himself which has been the default for so long... it's that he learns to value himself outside of his usefulness and not see his limitations/flaws as detractors- they're just part of what makes him human and they're things that you LOVE about him. not that you love him IN SPITE of these things or that you're willing to overlook them because of something he has to offer.

he is enough as a man that the best way to reclaim his own sort of sense of power and to fight back against the things that Mystra instilled in him for so long is to just be himself and that that's good enough- he doesn't need to devalue himself for her forgiveness or attention, he doesn't need to base his future around what Mystra wants of him, he doesn't need to put tav up on a similar pedestal and always wonder what more he can do to be *worthy* of them

idk like when you talk to lorroakan after dissuading him from taking the crown for himself and lorroakan kind of goads him, is like the first time he really has nothing self deprecating to say, he proudly states that he's his own man and he makes his own choices. and he's sooo proud about that.... he's choosing HIMSELF.... he's choosing TAV 🥺🥺🥺🥺
