#azu has a sad

[seaoflove07]

Favourite dl boys according to admin preference top 5

Christine’s Top 5: Here.

Admin’s Top 5 Diaboys:

Note: I won't be explaining much, but here are my top favorites.

1. Azusa.

Azu stole my heart, and he will always be my number one favorite diaboy and fictional character. He is special to me and he will never be replaced. Christine and I both love him to pieces. 🥰💗

2. Laito.

This boy gives me so many emotions, and out of all the Diaboys, his story was the hardest for me to read. It's very dark and sad. Somehow, I have become attached to his character lately. But not romantically.

3. Subaru.

Another cutie cinnamon roll. I love his story and character.

4. Reiji.

I liked his story and in my opinion, he has one of the best character development.

5. Ayato.

I don't have an explanation but I just like him. 😅

I know it's Top 5 but I wanted to include them as well.

Carla, Shu, and Ruki.

I like all three of them equally.

for requests, if you're willing to do something in the garden of yerlick? sasha the knife fairy or cel and their spouse or whatever else you prefer! your art is SO good I could look at it forever

 RQG request #12, a very sweet one. thanks so much for your prompt. i’m actually surprised i didn’t go with sasha the knife fairy (which i sincerely think is a severly underrated line) since doing something about the visitations kind of intimidated me! so i let this one sit for a while and then it just sort of came out of me. the lineart on its own is sincerely very nice, and i was nervous about over-rendering it with the colors, but... i think it’s a lovely result. i’m very happy about the faces. i think they’re all the emotions i wanted. look at cel and yuuko. i might never be able to top that tenderness.

  also, i love my design for feryn, so having the excuse to bust him out was great.

  hope you like it as much as i do <3

 ID under the cut!

[ID: an illustration of the party going through the garden of yerlik, accompanied by spirits. it is drawn traditionally with a mechanical pencil, and colored digitally. it shows hamid, zolf, cel, azu and wilde walking with aziza, yuuko,  grizzop and feryn. most of them are in profile, walking from the right to the left. there are tall trunks behind the group, as well as blue betals and cold breezes blowing through. the living and the trees are colored and rendered in cold palettes of purples and blues respectively, while the dead are colored in a flat, warm orange.    from left to right, first in the walking order are aziza and hamid. hamid has his eyes closed, and his head is hanging a little. he has a sad smile on his face. his skin is brown, his hair is darker, curly and slicked back. he's freckly and has a bit of stubble on his chin. his thick coat has a fur-lined hood. just behind him, and leaning forwards to look him in the face, is aziza, who is holding his left hand with both of hers. she has long, wavy hair and expensive jewelry. she has a build and face almost identical to hamid's, rounded, short and fat. she has an elegant dress and a shawl over her shoulders. she's smiling and talking to hamid with interest.    behind them, further back just a little, are cel and yuuko. yuuko is a tall orc with tusks, gentle eyes, and hair done up in a braid that runs along his scalp and then down. he's wearing a plain button-up with an open collar, and a simple waistcoat. he's walking side by side with cel, offering them his left elbow. he's looking at them with moved adoration. cel is white and blond, hair spiky and tall. they're wearing their goggles and a long coat with fur along the sleeves and collar. they're holding onto yuuko's arm with their left hand, and have the right intertwined with his. they're nuzzling into his neck, since he's a little taller. they're smiling, looking melancholic, both sad and elated.    some paces closer to the camera, behind hamid and aziza, are zolf and feryn. zolf is closing his eyes tightly, with his head hanging down, and he's walking with hands balled into fists. his hair is short and white, and his beard is done in a single plait. his coat has no fur on it. he's strong and stocky in build. behind him and one step closer to the camera, is feryn. he has his left hand on his pocket, and tje other on zolf's arm. he's talking to him in an animated manner. they have the same build, with feryn being very slightly taller. he's wearing an old, long coat with a breasplate underneath, and his hair is long and straight, somewhat uneven. his beard is done in three braids.    behind them and behind cel and yuuko are azu and grizzop. azu is looking down and holding the heart of aphrodite necklace in both hands, sad but smiling softly. her eyes are closed. her coat with a wide fur-lined hood is only partially visible. on her shoulders sits grizzop, who also has his arms crossed on top of her head, looking onwards with a cheeky grin. his long coat, plain trousers and boots are visible. he's bald and freckly, with dangling arrow piercings hanging from his long ears.    on the far right, behind them all, is wilde. he's the only one of the living with his eyes open, and he's looking behind them, off to the right to something off-camera. his eyes are wide and he has a surprised, searching expression. his hair reaches his shoulders and is dark brown, with a streak of white on the left side. his coat has a wide fur-lined collar, and there's a rope tied around his waist, tying him to zolf. end ID]

He is getting really worked up about those books.

The whole Jurgen Leitner Harrison Campbell rant was provided by the fantastic @franzis-frantic-thoughts.

(yes we know it says Howard. Hamid is too angry to remember names.)

ID under the cut because it’s a bit longer

[ID: two digital, fully coloured drawings of Hamid from Rusty Quill Gaming, ranting about a book.

Hamid is a brown-skinned, egyptian Halfling with dark, curly hair. He is wearing a purple three-piece-suit and is holding a purple book titled “When Passions Collide”. In the second drawing he has orange glowing eyes, scales across his cheeks and sharp claws.

The text above him says: “HOWARD CAMPBELL??? STUPID IDIOT MOTHERFUCKING HOWARD CAMPBELL GODS DAMN FOOL BOOK PUBLISHING DUST EATING RAT OLD BASTARD SHITHEAD IDIOT BARD OF THE WHORE BIGGEST CLOWN IN THE CIRCUS LAUGHED OUT OF TOWN AUTHOR MOTHERFUCKING HORWAD CAMPBELL STOP RECORDING ME WHEN I TALK ABOUT HORWAD CAMPEBELL I HATE HIM SO MUCH WHY DOES HE SELL SO MANY FUCKING BOOKS WHY DID HE DECIDE TO HAVE HIS CHARACTERS FUCK AROUND JUST LET THEM BE SINGLE IS HE PINING IS HE A BASTARD MAN HAS SUCH A VISCERAL AFFECT ON ME NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM NEVER SEEN THIS MANS FACE AND I KNOW HE HAS THE WORLDS SHITTIEST BEARD

[Zolf from the side: Actually his moustache was fine, thank you.]

GET AWAY FROM ME! if i wanted to get into an afterlife plane and one of the gods said horwad campbells waiting inside i would breathe fire at that gods feet for the sole purpose of getting sent back down

[Azu from the side: Hamid!]

if i have to deal with horwad campbell speaking one word in person on voice in this pub not only will i close the pub i will burn it down out of spite and well all have to move somewhere else for the experience of being somewhere where he was not i dont even know why i hate him so much. he writes books. but i am just mad because im aro he better have some fucked up backstory to explain this if hes just some rich shithead whos obsessed with his lost love and wanted to project on his otherwise solid characters ill go ham

[Wilde from the side: Ham-id]

BETTER have had a lover try and kill him cuz if he didn't im going to.

[Zolf, to Wilde: Wait. You don't think Bertie and Campbell...]

heres the tip jar Hope and Heart Hates Campbell book isnt even by him. vaguely mentions what is supposed to maybe be a reference and i lost it where the fuck is horwad campbell if hes still alive im going to so deeply wish he wasnt crusty old man ill claw campbell and his sad frail old man twig bones will simply flake apart under my epic huge dragon fist and he will disintegrate until all thats left is one final manuscript he kept on him at all times simply titled Now You Fucked Up in ancient draconic im not breathing im hyperventilating at this point

[Cel from the side: And breathing little flames, buddy]

i hope theres a date given for when campbel died or will die so i can make it a reminder in my diary everyday once a year i will see it and do anything but pay respects to the man who had so many love-at-first-sight books.” /End ID]

Request #9, thanks @withfoxeyes​!

This one makes me kinda sad to think about so I used the brightest happy colors possible, and I used all these watercolor brushes that make me happy 🥰.

[ID: A digital drawing of Azu with saturated colors, black scratchy outlines, and simple shading. The brushstrokes appear to be in watercolor. Azu is a half orc, with dark skin, dark hair, pointed ears, one tusk, and pink eyes. Azu is depicted as much older, with visible wrinkles and a small Afro. She is wearing a yellow headscarf, a pink robe with flowers on the shoulders, golden jewelry, and light pink painted nails. She is smiling towards a baby that is cradled in her arms. The baby is wrapped up in a orange cloth and has dark skin and pointed ears, but since the baby is facing away, no more details are visible. The baby has an arm outstretched towards Azu’s face.

[wildesfancyfrock]

was making a playlist for one of my dungeons and dragons characters & i was doing so, i kept finding songs that made me think of zoscar. here are a few of the ones that really get my brain into Animatic Mode (even though i know i will not be producing an animatic, i do not have the energy lol) also most of these r probably sad because i’m feeling sad and gay right now lol, will finish later :/

also ozzie don’t look, this has many spoilers.

- Never Love An Anchor by The Crane Wives:

Something about the lyrics strikes me as 177 to Epilogue 1 Zoscar, especially the five year gap that takes place between 218 and Epilogue 1.

“On some level, I think I always understood

That a ship could never really love an anchor

So, I did the only thing that I could

And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbour”

wilde, in terms of letting Zolf go because he knew how much Zolf needed it, even if he would want Zolf to stay, it would be selfish.

“I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel

I am all the things they might have said to you

Do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why?

They never soothed your fevers

And wonder why

They never tied your shoes

And wonder why

They never held you gently

And wonder why

They never had the chance to lose you”

zolf, after resurrecting wilde, the struggle he faces after the war is over and there is no longer a project for him to focus on. he can’t be there for wilde, because, no matter how much he cares about wilde, he’s still a deeply guilt ridden character, who also has to cope with losing his magic, the one thing that kept wilde by his side in 208.

- Two Birds by Regina Spektor:

This one feels very Japan arc for me, where Zolf and Wilde have a bit of a personality swap. Wilde is no longer the outgoing, charismatic character he once was (understandable) and Zolf takes on the role of host, trying to make sure Azu and Hamid are comfortable and Okay once they arrive at the Inn (and after the rockiness of the cell occurrences)

“Two birds on a wire

One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired"

The sky is overcast and I'm sorry

One more or one less

Nobody's worried”

Zolf urging Wilde to be warm with Azu and Hamid upon their arrival, to which the latter replies “They don’t like it when I’m warm.” The weather is horrid, with a rain that almost never ends, often reflecting the mood.

“I'll believe it all

There's nothing I won't understand

I'll believe it all

I won't let go of your hand”

Even though the mission comes first, they still look out for each other and have developed so deep a connection that Zolf can understand Wilde, whether the latter be nonverbal or not.

- In the Best Case Scenario, We’d Die at the Same Time by My name is Ian:

This one really doesn’t warrant an explanation beyond 217 and “We’ve got this” but still, I’m going to provide one. I think, for them, dying together at the end of the world, facing Guivres, is better than any of Wilde’s previous deaths because then, at least, they’d be together. They end their fight together, as partners, (albeit one visible and one not) and that, if they died at that time, they’d be done and they’d be together. Their mission finished, they could have their holiday, alive or not.

“Love is hard (love is hard)

It comes and goes (it comes and goes)

There are breakups, infidelity, death, and of course divorce

And even if (and even if)

You find a perfect partner

Eventually, one of you will beat the other to the grave

What a shame

So in the best case scenario, we'd die at the same time

Yeah, we'd die at the same time, would we?

Oh, in the best case scenario, we'd die at the same time

Yeah, we'd die at the same time, would we?���

The first set of lyrics hits hard, considering the lifespan of dwarves and humans being vastly different. The probability of Zolf outliving Wilde is much higher than the probability of Wilde outliving Zolf. At least, if they had died facing Guivres, there wouldn’t be the grief of losing your partner and continuing to live on for years after the fact.

Entering the UT RP era

Fate!Ralsei, created specifically for Rp, the original idea was that he fell into the Card castle's dark fountain and ended up in the void with Gaster

They have a complicated relationship

Then he became friend with X!Susie after she opened the bunker and got him out of the void

Scene from the Rp

TW for a bit of blood

I used Asriel from Negatale, kind of lost interest in the AU so I don't remember everything about him

The scene represents Az who was following Echotale Chara around (rplayed by one of my friend). Echo!Chara was in elevator and it broke so Az tried to save them. Just so yk he succeeded but I was listening to sad music and damn that scene hurt

Backstory is that she's an animatronic who melted while protecting a child, was thrown in back of the pizzaria and the only use it had after that was for the souls of 2 children who where murdered, they were siblings too

I don't remember their name but I had a mechanic for the animatronic based on who was controlling it. If it was the girl, it was mostly passive and her eyes glowed white, if it was the boy, it was more aggressive

Entering... The sun and moon AU...

I'm not going to explain in details what sun and moon is about because it is more than an UT/DR AU it's mishmash of literally every show, game, book me and my friend we will call Azu liked

So here's Sun, my character

Yes it's a cat, context ? It was Chi's sweet home rp that turned into the most confusing thing that ever existed with generational curse, demons, elemental powers and soooooo much more random ass stuff

But it was fun, I even have a favorite character who was called Night

So how does UT/DR affect that world ? Well... Timeline monster corrupting everything and there is this one desert in a timeline that exist to protect everyone. It has a giant shield too, I don't have the plan but I know I had made one so in case I find it I'll let y'all know

[daandyli0n]

some incorrect quotes featuring the new ocs i created last night

(ocs in question)

here we go:

this is about the characters

~~~~~~~~~~~~

(context: post-death, thyme and azu became connected by a golden chain/shackles. while the pair can move a good distance from one another, there reaches a point in which the chain ends up dragging one of the two in the direction of the other. not that either of them fully minds. of course, there are some days where they’d probably prefer some form of distance between each other. ghost!azu is mining, and ghost!thyme is an anxious wreck atm)

ghost!thyme: Maybe if I fall in love with anxiety it will also leave me!

ghost!azu: I can’t handle this right now-

thyme: Just remember, if you can’t handle me at my worst, I handle me at my worst everyday, which makes me stronger than you!

azu: I can’t do this today-

thyme: Oh my gosh, a spider-!

azu: Wait-Thyme, it is a living thing. Treat it the way you want to be treated!

thyme: (completely deadpan) Killed without hesitation.

azu: thYME-!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dream: I shoulda left you in that jail cell where you were standing.

ghost!azu, with ghost!thyme flipping dream off in the background: ....But cha didn’t!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(context: dream showed up. bandit big sad, poppy to the rescue)

poppy: What the F**K is up, Dream?! No, what’d you say dude?! What the F**K, dude?! Step the F**K up, Dream-

~~~~~~~~~~

(bandit visiting poppy in las nevadas)

bandit: We’re all gonna be safe! And we’re all gonna have a great time!

*sees slimecicle pulling a Freaking Bone right out of his arm like it’s nothing*

bandit: ....What the Jesus Christ was that?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(context: thyme was business partners (and friends) with poppy and bandit. she’s not happy about the fact that, as far as she knows, both of them have practically left her to die and neither of them have even so much as visited her (this was during the period where not only was the torture occurring, but sam was also just not allowing visitors in general). thyme is, somewhat understandably, salty)

thyme: I eat Cheerios because they’re heart healthy! And my heart has been severely damaged.

...so Poppy and Bandit, if you’re out there-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(what makes this one really funny is the fact that thyme is an anthropomorphic cat- (azu is...not a nice person, i’ll say that much. but she does get nicer to thyme as their relationship progresses))

thyme: Hey Az! Can I get a sip of that water?

azu: It’s not water.

thyme: Vodka! I like your style-

azu: It’s vinegar.

thyme:....wha-?

azu: It’s vinegar, p***sy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that’s all i’ve got for now. hopefully this gives y’all a good idea of what they’re like

#dsmp oc #oc incorrect quotes #oc: bandit #oc: azu #oc: poppy #oc: thyme

[griffonage-arts]

“Have you every killed someone, Azu?”

“Yes.”

It wasn’t as if Earhart’s question required much consideration. Of course she had killed; though she tried to avoid it, she had killed many people. Once, she had tried to keep track of their faces. Not anymore. She still took a moment each night to say a silent prayer to Aphrodite that the fallen might have found some sort of redemption or peace and that their families might find closure despite loss, she no longer grieved for them.

“Have you ever killed a friend, Azu?”

“Yes.”

[thechekhov]

So hey. Rusty Quill Gaming ended. 

I finally got a chance to listen to the last episode a week or so ago.

And... that epilogue (at least the first part of it) has me feeling some sort of ways.

(spoilers for RQG end + Epilogue ahead)

Where to begin...

I think I’ll begin with - I really loved that campaign as a whole. I loved the characters, and I loved the progression of the story, and so of course I hated to see it end. I think that’s a common issue for many things, and it doesn’t reflect badly on the podcast itself, regardless of how negative my feelings may be.

At the same time I have to admit a weakness and say that ‘all the magic is now purged from the world’ is one of my least favorite tropes in magical storytelling. I understand why it may make sense thematically. I understand WHY people are drawn to that ending in some circumstances. I understand that jokes about how magic builds reliance have their place, and how it’s a valid reading. 

And yet.

The fact that the world went mundane and all the characters (save for Hamid) seem to have moved on relatively quickly and without issue feels like such a slap in the face. 

I don’t mean ‘moved on’ in the technical sense. I understand that the epilogue dealt with many fallouts of the world having to adjust to loss of magic. I appreciated the details added into that - the fact that communication has slowed, the fact that mass production has slowed, the fact that travel without use of Elementals has become a problem... Those are all very cool things to see in a worldbuilding sense. 

But I feel that, aside from Hamid, none of the players have bothered to draw any attention to the emotional fallout of removing magic from the world wholesale.

Magic, which is a historically powerful, well researched and well known study of energy and matter, and the interaction of the real world and those beyond. Magic, which was some people’s life work - and some people’s life blood. 

Einstein was a Wizard, for fuck’s sake. This was his whole LIFE. Yes, he is a bit wonky at this point in his life anyway thanks to magic, so he may be adjusting to this on a skewed scale. 

And yes, Azu is the most emotionally adjusted of all of them so I can forgive her dealing with her lack of connection to her deity in private. 

Yes, Zolf has always been an emotionally constipated asshole, and YES, he has had AMPLE experience with loss and grief, and this is not his first rodeo, so he is probably better equipped to handle this than most.

Even Wilde, who is a powerful bard in his own right, used his magic as a support for his other talents, and has things to fall back on which are not built entirely on magic. 

But Hamid? Holy fuck, Hamid. Magic was him.

He is the YOUNGEST of all of them. Before beginning to discover his magical abilities, he didn’t have anything to call his own except his family’s money. He didn’t have anything he could be proud of - indeed he was deeply ashamed of the person he had become. He built his whole identity, his whole pride, on the basis of his draconic bloodline. 

Magic - his birthright, his connection to his adventuring career, his reason to keep going - was torn from him and now he is just. Existing. 

And damn, that hurts.

Maybe I’m reaching here, maybe I’m projecting my own dependencies onto this sad little character. But I feel like people often underplay the importance of magic in a world that has co-evolved with it for so long, as has become so deeply entwined with its history, its cultures, its way of life. 

It’s not just a shortcut for lazy wizards - it’s something they studied, understood, worked years of their life into. It’s not simply something that makes their life easier, it’s not a deus ex machina generator for real-life problems. It’s something that has literally existed alongside physics, and something as integral to their world as gravity is to ours. 

I am an artist, at heart. I don’t pretend to be particularly exemplary at it - I didn’t go to art school. I just loved to draw. It was something I connected with early on, something that I called my own, and something I would always come back to as a form of self expression. 

I keep imagining a world in which I had gone on a quest to save everything I’d known - and had unwittingly sacrificed art in the process. 

I think about coming back into a world devoid of art. I think about realizing I could not draw - would never draw again. I think about flipping open empty comic books, trying to remember what they looked like. I think about stores, and libraries, and museums - empty of illustrations. I think about caves where the paintings of our ancestors have ceased to exist - our connection of them forever lost to time. 

What would that be like? To lose a part of yourself so integral to your identity that it feels like the part of you that kept you alive has been wiped blank? How would you feel if the world simply tried to keep going? Would you have the strength to turn to something else, to try to find something new? Or would the betrayal of losing decades of your purpose sting? 

In the epilogue, there was a gentle hint that Hamid avoids drinking now. I would not be surprised if it was the result of turning to drinking early on in that first year without magic. I can very easily imagine him feeling lost and alone, and wanting nothing but the numbness. 

And I am glad that a few others seemed to have noticed it somewhat, but I feel like the weight of that sort of thing is nowhere near done being discussed. I hope it isn’t. I hope we hear how the others may have dealt with it. I hope we hear how Wilde can no longer make illusions. I hope we understand how Azu dealt with losing her friend Topaz, and her god, and her healing. I hope we get a glimpse into that world, and the suffering that rift had caused. 

Because damn, it deserves mention.

azu might lose this round of the fiction podcast sexyperson contest :(

I have to admit that I don't really follow the polls given that I'm like the least qualified person to vote on them /lighthearted

Very sad on our girl Azus behalf hearing about it tho, she'd deserve that win, I guess if somebody still has a vote to spare for our favourite paladin of Aphrodite...

Wow, though…

… I was having trouble w/ the scrolling so I couldn’t get a good look at the scene before, but… Horobi does visibly turn his head to look down at Jin as he says ‘a dream of my own’… Like, what I thought at first was that it was just one of his ‘downcast eyes’ looks he does when he’s ‘uncertain’ or ‘emotional,’ like, where he just looks down w/ his eyes, but no, he fully moved his head from looking straight ahead to looking down…

I really, really hope that it is them leaning into the family angle in his ultimate, core/personal goal being to make a world for his son, and through a sequence of events largely beyond his control (and if by some miracle my theory did prove correct, even predating the Ark) he’s come to believe the only way to do that is if humans are gone. That’s the only way Jin and other HumaGear can ever truly be safe, that the danger and malice of humans is too great to risk just bc two might be okay.

If they’re gonna do all the other stuff to me, they can at least do that.

[starlightthroughbrokenglass]

I had an idea for an RQG one-shot:

Oscar Wilde’s Big Vacation!

(a hack of Jason Statham’s Big Vacation)

Zolf has promised Wilde a holiday, so that’s what he shall have. The rest of the party tags along. It’s not quite what Zolf had in mind but they all deserve some time off after basically saving the world. The entire party tries to make sure that Wilde has a good time and actually gets to relax for once. But that’s easier said than done. Because Wilde is not only apparently incapable of staying alive for longer than ten minutes, he has also never learnt to relax and is on top of that deeply traumatised.

Their task: trying to keep Wilde from being sad, dead, or doing paperwork.

Their roles: Zolf is the “manager”/life partner who knows Wilde well enough to have all the “Wilde lore”. Azu is the bodyguard because she doesn’t only have the muscle to protect his body but also the heart to protect his emotional state. Hamid is the lawyer because, well, he’s the 🎵 single female lawyer 🎵. And Cel is the tour guide because they’re sure to find fun and distracting activities.

a pick-me-up...

[ID: a pink-toned, digital sketch of sasha and azu. it is drawn with dark purple lines and colored in quickly with a rough pencil brush. they are drawn from around the chest up, facing each other in profile, sasha looking dejected and hunched over in the left, while to the right azu has gone to eye level with her and is gently holding sasha’s head up, their faces very close. sasha has very pale skin, with features sharp and painfully thin. her visible eye is sad and dark with eyebags. she’s wearing her studded leather jacket and has short, messy dark hair with an undercut, the back of which is white. azu’s skin is dark, her head is shaved, and her face is rounded and smooth. she has a very compassionate look in her eyes, and is speaking softly to sasha. she has two pointy tusks and a scar across her left eyebrow. her pink armor and light robes around the neck are visible. her left hand is on the side of sasha’s face, and her right thumb is softly touching her lips. sasha’s left hand is absently holding onto azu’s forearm. end ID]
