Started playing the DnD module, Beyond the Witchlight, and this has been by far the most effective tactic Dahlia has deployed.

SHIPTOBER DAY 1: ‘When/Why you started shipping them?’

Nothing cuter than Gideon Coal getting flustered by Kremy Lecroux

Playing Into the Witchlight!! Meet Pockets who i already adore drawing so there will be more of her

Gorebeck or Dark Torebeck

Just finished listening to the Torebeck vs the gang fight and HOLY SHIT. That was awesome so I had to draw him, with a little creative liberty

Other colored versions cuz I think they also look cool

Have been binge watching Once Upon a Witchlight by Legends of Avantris lately (major spoilers ahead)

If you guys haven't seen this, then go watch it. PLEASE.

Why did nobody warn me about how sad episode 41 is?? Literally last night I finished episode 40 and before I went to bed I was thinking "This series is so funny! I can't wait to watch the next episode tomorrow!"

And now I'm sobbing :<

It isn't even Twig's death itself that made me sad, it was Gideon's reaction, mostly. I mean, I love Twig, but I kind of figured something was wrong when Gricko found her.

Gideon just made the moment so poignant. His denial, "but this is her first adventure", and the powerful "FUCK" at the end? That broke me.

I loved Kremy realizing Twig was dead first. Him knowing that helping her is a lost cause, so retrieving Frost instead. But he didn't want to tell Gid and break his heart. He really does love his husband, even if the marriage is "ironic", from a certain point of view. Sorry, I have to be a little silly because I'm so upset.

I love this campaign so much. Rip Twigsy, she will be missed greatly.

I just want the funnies back :( but I guess the seriousness is acceptable. (it's amazing, seriously)

What's the difference between a witchlight, a Magelight, and a Magelamp?

Good question! I'm kind of surprised I haven't answered this before (I probably have but can't find it lol), but here's the breakdown:

A witchlight is a small, roughly candle-sized flame that a Mage conjures. It's almost always a ghostly blue flame and is always attached to a Mage's hand, palm, or thumb. It can sometimes be different colors, like green or purple. Every person has a slightly different way of conjuring their witchlight: some hold it cupped in their upturned hand, others hold it in a 👍 position or even a 🫰 position, whatever is most natural to them. I think of it as a magical Zippo lighter. Looks kind of like this:

It doesn't usually get as big as the last picture, but you get the idea. Notably, the "mnemonic" gesture to conjuring a witchlight is always snapping your fingers together a few times, as if they're made of tinder and flint.

A Magelight or magelight is less of a flame and is more of a golden orb of softer ambient light. The difference is that they are always gold, white, or pale yellow in color, illuminate a much wider area than witchlights, and notably are more "autonomous": they can float ahead of you or bob alongside you pretty much on their own, whereas a witchlight is attached to your hand and has to be held aloft like a torch. Magelights are more independent and don't require much active thought once summoned, serving more as levitating balls of illumination than little flames.

A Magelamp is a physical item that resembles a Victoria-era gas lamp. They're usually set into walls as sconces or overhead as ceiling fixtures and provide diffuse ambient light, pretty much how a gas or electric lamp would. They're constructed from anbar and zharril, Mage materials that can be charged with magical energy and spellwork, and are powered purely by magic. (Magelamps used to be just chunks of zharril crystal that would hold magical light really well before slowly fading... kind of like... glowsticks?... but they've been around for a really long time and have gotten much more advanced over time.) Because the magic lies within the lamp itself, Magelamps can be operated by both Mages and non-Mages. The Shepherds' compound is lit largely by these--so you can walk into a room and they'll automatically light up, or you can speak the command word and they'll light up according to your directions (like "light only the western sconce" or "turn down the intensity by 50%"), but this last part is finicky if you're a non-Mage and you'll usually have to get a spirit to help you if you want to do really fancy things--but they do have to be recharged by a Mage every five years or so. There are also oil and gas lamps and candles/braziers throughout the compound, too, though!

Hope that all makes sense! :)

Oberon for the lovley lovley @zenithzyl!

We've done some wild stuff with the feywild in our campaign (because it's technically still Ravenloft based) And by far my favorite design is Oberon!

No spoilers for whichlight or for the Carnival please! Even though we've strayed from canon, I still haven't seen alot of NPCS and locations yet. (like Yon)

Introducing: Witchlight! <3

@flaming-trash-can was very kind and made this for me as a comm! When I saw the initial design for this as a Halloween-themed YCH, I just knew that it would fit just perfectly for my oc, Witchlight. And turns out, it really did! Perfectly captures her mischievous nature.

And a huge shoutout for the cutie mark design in particular! It got realized so much better than I imagined for myself :D

Big and intricate cutie marks are hugely underappreciated. I cannot lie.
