I just noticed that a lot of my sidebar links don't work on mobile so I'm dropping them in a pinned post here!

About the Blog Owner Character Carrd SWTOR Ship Page Incorrect Quotes Tag

[wayfinderlegacy]

New fun ask game for me (since College is starting back up soon and I need something to do during lectures)! Go to the Carrd linked here and send me a character you're interested in (or send character name + the word ship if you wanna see a shippy drawing). I'll pick a song from their playlist and either draw a picture or write a little drabble/oneshot about em!

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

...Where I start trying to get comms going! Hello! I'm currently working towards going on a trip to Japan with my buddies and I thought I'd offer comms again (and yes its the same advertising images as last time because I've been working on full body refs and not headshots lately. :')). Pricing is going to be 30 USD for a headshot sketch and 40 USD if you want a flowercrown symbolism traditional sketch (I can choose the flowers or you can! I have an extensive list). Adding on 20 USD for either if you want digital colors. I AM open to full or half body drawings! Please DM to discuss price on those. Backgrounds will be the basic ones here and are free with a colored image of any kind! I generally pick that out based on "the vibes" but you're welcome to tell me an idea of what you'd like there. I can be contacted either on this blog or via discord (darth_shimo_the_smol)

My only rules are no mecha and anthros. Vague animals features are fine though! All characters MUST have visual references. I will not draw based on descriptions, though I may ask for personality or story information as well just to get a feel for things! (And because I adore hearing about people's characters!) :) Feel free to reblog this if not comming as well, or make a donation through my ko-fi page as well on the sideline!

Thank you! And may you have a great day!

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

Colored sketch commish for @wayfinderlegacy of their OCs and Arcann from SWTOR :D

Next one's done! Expect the rest to take a little while because the flats aren't done and Dawntrail just came out and Pictomancer has a hold on me. :')

Sosûtaus- The Right-handed God (Right in High Sith, nabbed from the Coruscant Translator website) “Ir natura zo tihtasa ir kûts zo dratsari chwûq.” (In life a spark in death a blazing ember.)

Sosûtaus is the shepherd of dead souls, and the guardian of the Sith afterlife. Once one dies, they are given by Typhojem over to their counterpart. There is no one idea of the afterlife decided on by Sith, and as such they bury the dead with a weapon and other things they may need to survive whatever they may face. Though all believe that once in the hands of Sosûtaus they are safe, as they are the one who protects and provides for those who broke their chains in life and shall be honored in death. The brave, the strong, the powerful, the passionate, the clever, the free. Typhojem and Sosûtaus are considered the highest of beings in the pantheon and are often depicted to the right and left hand of the Sith kings and emperors in artworks even to this day. They are teachers and guides to both gods and mortals.

Note: The Kittât script on the sword may or may not be accurate. I messed up on some of these after putting it through Coruscant Translator and me trying to figure out the lettering. I’ll be posting an image with the fully accurate scripts on all of them later!

Going on ahead and posting the first of the Sith Gods!

Typhojem- The Left-handed God (Only god listed on Wookiepedia and in lore and the one that started this whole lore document shenanigans. :'D) “Hadzuska diâ ssra tuti hi wunasi mnirdaka iw diami.” (Shadow and shade be they solemn oath of guidance.) Typhojem is considered the guardian of those who remain in the living world. The ones who live and fight for existance, following their passions and gaining strength. They guide souls to the guardian of the afterlife, but never step into that realm themsleves.

Note: The Kittât script on the sword may or may not be accurate. I messed up on some of these after putting it through Coruscant Translator and me trying to figure out the lettering. I'll be posting an image with the fully accurate scripts on all of them later!

Did some color adjusting maintainance tonight and now everything should be readable here!

Saris texting Lyute: Saris: WAT R UR ADJECTIVES? Lyute: You mean my pronouns?? Saris: NO I ALREADY KNO UR PRONOUNS WAT R UR ADJECTIVES? Lyute: I don't know? What are yours? Saris: NOISY AN CHAOTIC! Lyute: ...I've never had something go from making no sense to complete sense so fast.

[wayfinderlegacy]

Things I have to remember for my KotFE/ET fics. Saris 100% talks to the ghosts on Odessen. Like... KotET there's that big battle with Vaylin's forces and I PROMISE you some of the people who died there became ghosts that hang on that planet now.

SO. This means that Arcann has 100% seen Saris chattering away with ghosts that AREN'T the ghost of his dad in Saris' head and was like: "Yup, that's still boyfriend material." Not to mention the ghost in his head that isn't his dad's ghost in Saris' head that he will continue to chat with once Valky's out. :'D

I got close-ups of all the Abundance Festival desserts(?), just for reference's sake.🥧

[wayfinderlegacy]

While i was admiring Arcann's model (and scraping him for parts for the sims), I got some good reference pics of his cybernetic arm!

Some bonus pics of his outfit details:

Tonight's rambles:

I haven't even finished my Sith Religion headcanon work OR played the Machine Gods raids, but I am THIS CLOSE to making a google doc of Zakuulan Religion so help me... :')

ON THAT NOTE! If there's Codex entries you get from running the raids or a really good video of them online let me know! (Oooor people willing to get a group together for a story player who just wants to go slow and watch stuff... :))

[wayfinderlegacy]

Like the madman I am I have written references to my Sith Pantheon and religious practices in 2 chapters of the KotFE fic so far. ...I haven't even finished the lore doc yet. I need to finish and release those notes into the wild before I post this fic. :'D ...ANYWAY! Feel free to poke me about Sith Lore anytime cause gods only know I can ramble about those headcanons! :'D
