Happy New Year from Bunnybird & Magister Sena!

As a new year begins, I'd like to extend my sincerest wishes and thanks to the Merlinverse community for all the happiness you've brought me in 2024. Without going into too much detail, it was a rough year for me, but finding this community, meeting all of you wonderful people, learning about your OCs and their lore, and getting to know the amazing individuals behind the characters has given me such a profound sense of happiness and fulfilment, and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for that. This community has been so kind and welcoming and genuine, and I am so proud of how far it's come in such a short time. Getting to see it grow from a handful of Merlins and their creators into what it is today has been an absolute honour, and I look forward to seeing how it grows and changes in the year to come. Here's wishing all Magisters, OCs and Creators a Happy New Year filled with joy, motivation, inspiration and success, because you all deserve it so much.

-Bunnybird

"May your gacha pulls be lucky and the RNG be kind. (And may Lilith Games finally MAKE HOGAN PLAYABLE DURA DAMMI-)"

-A blessing from The People's God, Magister Sena.

I had the best time making this for you dude, @bunnybird-afk.

Also! Thank you so much to @windmaedchen-oceanhorn, your adorable art of Val and Lavi's child helped me to create a young Val.

[yohohonabottle]

The nephilyms and Lavi's family

Just compilation of art and head cannons. Let me know if there's any errors + your thoughts on this! @windmaedchen

The twins meeting Lavi's kiddo!

After the incident of his wife getting ambushed, cornered -forced into fighting- dragged away and almost killed a la Salem witch trial + His twins would've likely died too if they didn't hide under tree roots nearby)...

Yeah Valen decided Holistone & Ryeham ain't safe for his fam so he took em, their two horses, and left to settle into the Wilders territory. Around the Vaduso mountains, very deep into the forested area at the mountains feet. At some point moved to live up on the summit (Similar to how his wife's family did long ago. The Eclipse dynasty families preferred to inhabit densely forested terrain and mostly on mountain summits. Some even lived in the mountain as well.) (The vampires of this bloodline had incredible tolerance to freezing cold climate, low oxygen levels and really high altitudes/latitudes. Think plane-ride high. They lived 'in the clouds'. And were known to be eagle-eyed ontop of their already keen sensitivity and senses as a species.)

Valen isn't bothered by the summit's trials, having adapted to them. Plus wears an outfit an Eclipse night nymph would--Something between the attired of Thai Hill people and Eskimos/Inuit. And his blood makes more cells.. he's got more blood than the average person.

Only trusted people are allowed. And Val joined the Thorned guards as both a swordsman, plus enrolled his twins in the Jadelake academy.

So Athe also became a Thornguard after graduating and Mari a Windwhisperer who often doubles as fellow thornguard. Pirin is in that squad too. So people of the Taran village & Lunadorf affectionately jokingly call them the Thorn family. Or the Guardians family.

(Excuse the doodle quality! ;-;) Uncle Athelric pretending not to care but watching over his human nephew. You know if anyone so much as TRIES to lay a finger and take a sigle, tiny hair off that little head--They'll be mauled. Lets the lil boye play with his tail, wings maybe a tiny bit his ear, but doesn't let him tug on them.

Or Athe patrolling and maybe Lavi's kid as a wee youngin ran off (like how young kids do mostly) and trips... in trouble, and suddenly there's a blur of light auburn and white, a bat mega bat standing over him and growling lowly in warning to the threat -could be hypofiends-. Then huffs when the two are face to face, his huff ruffling the boy's hair. Picks him up by the scruff like how a mam/dad/older sibling does with cubs/pups/kittens and darts in a graceful move toward Lavi. Has his stern look on as he approaches and places her son before her. Then leaves. Alt - Lavi and her kid running from something, and Athe jumps to protect them in his true form.

Bonus points if Mari is also around at the time and dives down/over to join the fray. Her brother remaining standing over the mam & kid to protect while she acts as the offence/attack-- wiping the floor with the foes.

------ Iliya meeting/interacting with Lavi & her kid

And then there's Iliya who playfully claps the kid on the shoulder, hugs him in a side-hug and ruffles his hair. "C'mere!"

-"Ah! And is that Mam I see?" -Cue Lavi getting drawn into the hug as well then lets them go. (No, she's not dodging that hug.) "What brings you to this corner of the desert?" (Smiling and cheery as he leads them to his home/clan.) Lets the family stay over as guests.

And bonus points for Soren who's a chill "grandpa"/Uncle(?). who likely has already grown very old and died... But is back to his young looks. Every time his body ages to elderly and he dies, Soren's body is the only thing that reverts to teenage again. His mind, heart, spirit and everything else is perma-lodged into 25-40 years old adult. Same as Alsa. (Or really every playable character. See "Wicked Sun & Orderly Moon.) Just one big family get together if Soren's clan is also visiting 'Liya's.

-------------------- The Cryptids from project "Harbringer" --

And I find it funnily adorable given the Mather of the Merlinverse and in general (Pirin) "adopted" Lavi/took her under his wing. And we all know what that happens, it's a permanent thing. So he'd the guardian of her and her fam til their final breaths, possibly the next ones after. Essentially Pirin and his nephylims are the guardians/protectors of families/lines of those they adopt(ed). It mainly starts with Mather and the nephylims follow suit (genes are saying their word fr). Pirin is guardian/protector of the family & home in general to begin with. (So count Iliya, Ame (don't underestimate the lil 10-ish y/o ghost girl), Mari and Athe plus their bloodlines as guardians to Cel & Ael's family along with Lavi's.)

"I'm guessing to count the cryptids in this lot as well since he's their core component. Which is even stronger than genes passed on i think." -Finch. I had this convo w @meepinmeat.

"Hell yeah!" -Meepin. So I then noted that there'll be one certain "Harbringer" to also be in the Guardian cryptids lot.

"You know the Knave's in this too-Og Berial fused with Pirin-?

Bet Lavi would be conflicted if he (Arlecchino) acts as her and her fam's protector/guardian ...angel? Hell angel???" -Finch. And here's Arlecchino's ask blog! You'll find everything related to him there- Art, lore, trivia & him answering your questions! (The main purpose of the blog is to ask Arle questions and he'll respond.)

Now. From here, major chunk if not 100% Finch's speculations ahead! I'm most likely wrong, please I strongly encourage feedback & corrections on these interaction parts! I tried to do justice by filling the blanks with keeping Val&Lavi's personalities in mind!

I imagine her son to get curious and excited, run up to him after he strikes Lavi!Og Berial/drives him away. And when the boy catches his tail/wing, Arle pauses and looks down over his shoulder at him.... Then smiles ever so slightly in fond, reminiscing affection before telling him "Go return to your mother." Then leaves.

Or the times Arle would look after her kid like a nanny-Guardian. Letting him play with his hat, tail, wings, watching him with that look.

And then disappears as Lavi's kid grows up... Only for him to call his name. Not "Berial" like how I imagine Lavi & her Val + everyone else do. But "Arlecchino"/"Arle". Like how he did back as a wee kid. And the Knave appears.

"You're a fool for seeking me." (No malice.)

"I know what you're made of. I know you're in there Berial, like the one you fought off. But I also know Mather's in there too, and fused into one with you." (I know you won't hurt me or my family.)

"Don't get too comfortable." (Maybe has that small smile, placing his hat on Lavi's son's head.)

------- As for the Balladeer, boy you'll see this mummer often. Likely has his happy mask on as he dances cheerily or his cattle bells make joyful, sort of friendly sound as 'Hello! :D' to both Lavi and her family. Possibly play with her son, keep him busy/entertained when she and her Val are too busy/need a moment to themselves.

But doesn't take off his mask, and doesn't let Lavi's kiddo take it off either- Touch it? Yes. Take it off/lift it? No. Gently tell him 'no.' by placing a fur-hidden hand over his and lower it away. Then when it's time for goodbye, The Kuker walks away. You can still hear him and his bells + tapping of staff on ground with each step. (The Balladeer's ask blog here!) Mostly communicates through dance, his mask changing and the bells on his belt + sign language that's not specific as he has made it up himself. (Only he knows/understands it.) But he can speak. Also the Kuker may be aware of how much he "resembles" the child's father and that's another reason he keeps his mask strictly on when around him. Doesn't want to confuse the kid, and sadden him with his fate. Otherwise he'd rarely sometimes lift his mask to reveal his face for a brief moment like in his "origin story". (His themes are at the top of his lore post + above the "index page". But here they are as well, clipped from the documentary film about Kukers done by New Yorker. The first track is the Balladeer's main theme. The second ost his other theme.

The Damoiseau - Songs and lullabies, the innocent and wholesome kind. Also helps the family sleep well/better by driving off their bad dreams, mostly through his songs. And watches over them with everyone else like a guardian angel. (He also has an ask blog!)

Windmaedchen's Art Progression

2003 - 2024

(omg... 20+ years of art....)

I am no extraordinary artist. But it was always enough to bring the images in my mind onto paper. I may have worked professionally as an artist, but in the end, I always only drew for myself and I love fanart more than anything for that reason. I just happen to have made other people happy, too, with my fanart and my pro art. ;-)

And that's it for now. I will post this again, though, in yet another 5 years or so. xD

Match-maker! (?) - The Merlinverse game

This was supposed to go on my main blog not here! ...I mean a Valen is mentioned & talked about--But it's not the Missing! ;-;') Welp too late now, don't have the heart to copy all this and move it to main blog so here we are. Sorry Wind! My post for the Merlinverse Interaction Game! and welp today I'm taking a really quick crack at it. Assuming I don't somehow turn it into an analysis or full-fledged fic. |> Prompt of the day: Attempts to play matchmaker for... Lavinia @windmaedchen

Okay, so Pirin playing (or trying) to play match-maker for Lavi. Honestly he already knows well whom the woman loves, she needs no match-making. But that said, I can see the Mather of the Merlinverse and as a whole, play wingman.

Slip a little vague but sweetly romantic note to both Valen and Lavinia, anonymously under a different alias/pseudonym. Something like a wee mini ARG or 'treasure hunt' with riddles that are puzzles only the two of them would get. (References, inside jokes, their memories being the key/answer to the riddle and it's always two-way that matches. So it's impossible not to be solved and not match, yet still keeping them from bumping into each other and spoiling the surprise.)

And all those little breadcrumbs lead to--Is the one spot the two first met and fell in love. The whole treasure hunt has been a kind of trip to memory lane, a pilgrimage of their history and returning to the start/roots. The last clue there, hinting at them being each other's treasure. And a small gift from "All-Mather"- Two pebbles that have been drenched in his blood to infuse a chunk of his magic into them. His blessings- Luck, good health, regeneration & healing regardless of ailment/pain and its severity. And calm, clarity so that they can react adequately even under the highest stress- Blessings of his bloodline, the Eclipse.

Two pendants, that when put together form one whole heart. And one smaller, for their son. Both pieces of jewelry able to be worn around the neck so they don't get lost/misplaced/forgotten somewhere somehow and aren't big stones to catch/pull unwanted attention- Can be hidden under the collar/clothes easily. The Maulers often refer to this kind of stone as Night Jinni's bloodstone. And a night nymph's magic can grant one's most heartfelt, sacred wish. After that, all the magic gets used up to grant that wish, and the blood evaporates away. The stone back to a regular one.

And it's possible that The Fair Gentleman, newest cryptid to join the Guardian cryptids lot, has been tasked to write the riddles. With the help of the Damoiseau also commonly known as "Tyr/Odin" besides "Blind prophet'', given he's the most cryptid with his words. So if some of the riddles had a mildly prophetic to prophetic flair and tinge to them plus Sphinx? Then that was the Damoiseau Mauler at work.

Arle simply, most likely, left a playing Joker card somewhere. If prompted to join in putting together the treasure hunt or got curious then invested into it. In fact, the Knave probably helped the Fair Gentleman to stay undetected/unnoticed plus not get caught.

(Aand yup. I did it again.) The "All Mather" is a joking reference to Odin, and Pirin being the mother & father to the Merlinverse, the different timelines and in general + accidentally adopting/taking under his wing.

Merlinverse Interactions Game

Hey, y'all! So I had an idea for a fun little community-building exercise for the Merlinverse, just to help us all interact and get more familiar with each other and our OCs.

Basically, this link will take you to a site where you spin two wheels, one with an interaction prompt and the other with the name of a Merlinverse OC. You can then either make a post about how you think the interaction will play out (can be a short-fic, drabble, general thoughts, headcanons, whatever you want), or you can chat to the creator of that Merlin and have fun discussing the idea with them (you don't have to post a summary of the Merlins' interaction, but I think it'd be fun to see). You can participate even if your Merlin isn't on the wheel, though if you'd like them to be added feel free to reach out.

To make these interactions easier to find please use the tags #merlinverse, #merlinverse interactions and the tags for the ocs involved in any post you make (tags under cut).

Rules:

Be respectful of your fellow creators, don't harass anyone.

Be mindful that the person you're chatting to may be busy and unable to respond quickly.

No NSFW or sensitive topics unless you and the person you're chatting to have BOTH agreed to it (please add the appropriate warnings to your post too).

Just have fun!

Participating Merlins:

Sena (@bunnybird-afk, #magister sena) Celestino (@meepinmeat, #magister celestino) Violyste (@magister-violyste, #magister violyste) Pirin (@yohohonabottle, #pirin, #magister pirin) Molpe (@mcnana, #magister molpe) Zelda (@fgfirenation, #magister zelda) Starhawk (@fujimomozane, #magister merlin starhawk) Lavinia (@windmaedchen-oceanhorn, #dame lavinia) Rose (@afkhowstrange, #magister rose) Scylla (@confusedeldritch, #magister scylla) DK (@gloriousrebirth, #magister dk)

Feel free to let me know if you have any prompt ideas, want me to change your Merlin's tag, or if you want your Merlin added to the wheel.

[windmaedchen-oceanhorn]

Because it is a little hard to see my header tiles properly, I will make two small collections for each, past and present. This is the PAST, showing the particular events of Valen finally revealing to Lavinia that he's the heir to Stoutstone Isle's ruling family. Lavinia always wanted to know where he lived and ran off to, but Valen was afraid her treatment of him would change and much preferred the freedom that came with his anonymity.

Thankfully, nothing changed in the end. But soon after, they had to part ways only to be separated until the fateful reunion 10 years later. Which you can read about here:
