jayfeather and moleflight toxic yaoi…

Oh wow there's not even anything in the Molejay tag. Is this pair so rare it's not been done yet?

Jayfeather and Moleflight, toxic yaoi, "I named myself after the time I trounced your angelic ass" and "I've personally assigned my entire afterlife to trying to prevent you from causing chaos." They want to kiss each other sooo bad it makes them look stupid. The rituals, they are so intricate.

#Molejay #Better bones au #I'm actually not much of a Jayfeather shipper normally #I know a lot of people who really like exploring all of his potential romances but I'm only into Jaypoppy #And this specific version of Molejay #Jay and Kestrel I adore as like... ''Jay has changed my life and given me the power to question authority'' #Jay and Briar I just love as besties #I actually *hate* him and Half as a ship it's legitimately one of my NOTPs #Jay just sits with me as the sort of guy who doesn't feel romantic attraction very often and it ranks low on his list of priorities #He's too busy being a menace #Babe wake up new sexuality on the aroace spectrum just dropped. Hes Irritatoromantic #He only feels attraction based on how annoying it would be to fall in love with the person lmaooo #QPR? No. He is in a CPR. Cahoots Platonic Relationship. #Funny that the only two Jay ships that do anything for me are for two cats who would have died in the same epidemic #Bone babble

Prudence Dubois -- [ B A S I C S ]

B A S I C S

Name: Prudence Dubois

Nicknames: No. 

Age: Late Twenties

Nameday: 32nd Sun of the Umbral Moon

Race: Hyur

Gender: Cis Female

Orientation: Bisexual

Profession: Retainer & Machinist

P H Y S I C A L     A S P E C T S

Hair: Dark brown hair is worn practically. Short with a hacked at fringe. She doesn’t do much with it, thinking of it as more of a hindrance than a tool to express herself with.

Eyes: Watchful, hooded, hawklike. Like burning coals with none of the heat.

Skin: Pale white, covered in freckles.

Tattoos/scars: No tattoos. A gnarly scar at her left collarbone, and follows through on her back. A smattering of other, less important scars. 

F A M I L Y

Parents: Her father is deceased, aided by gravity. She does not speak of nor to her mother who still lives in the Brume. Their names are unimportant.

Siblings: N/A. 

Grandparents: Long dead, likely insufferable judging by how their children turned out.  

In-laws and Other: No In-laws to speak of. She has many romantic entanglements that usually end messily. So far, her relationship with Ibant is the only one to have stuck.

She and Gerry, one of her Lady’s wards, have an on-again-off-again toxic yuri relationship that will eventually settle into a steady friendship or explode in an awesome and destructive display.

She respects and, to some degree, loves her Lady.

A’vyra is the nearest thing to a friend she has outside the House. Not that Prudence would ever utter such a thing aloud.

The rest of the House’s odd assortment of characters are kept at a distance. Prudence is fully aware of her prickly personality and the strength of her bite. These things serve her well; she will not dull them to appease others, so she does not let others in. For their own good, of course.

Pets: No. Prudence technically owns a Chocobo, a gift from her Lady, but Bird is not a pet. Bird is a stalwart companion.

S K I L L S

Abilities: Prudence is a capable young woman. A skilled machinist with a sharp eye it is rare for her to miss.  She knows her carbine better than the skin of her hands, knows the bark of it as her voice.

Her duties as a retainer have sent Prudence to the far corners of many maps. She’s resourceful for all the traveling, with a genuine willingness to embrace local customs. She can chameleon her way through social situations; smoothing the barbs of her generally terrible personality and avoiding unnecessary conflict on the road. 

Hobbies: Tinkering, fishing, painting. 

T R A I T S

Most Positive Trait: She’s so cool. 

Most Negative Trait: Everything else. 

L I K E S

Colors: Deep greens, browns and blacks and greys, a very particular shade of blue. 

Smells: Coffee, warm bread, turpentine. 

Textures: Canvas stretched taut, the cool side of the pillow, the crunch of snow beneath her boots. 

Drinks: Coffee, black. Wine, she’s not picky. 

O T H E R    D E T A I L S

Smokes: Almost constantly.

Drinks: Heavily. She’s a functioning alcoholic.

Drugs: Yes. Mostly for fun. 

Mount Issuance: Prudence is only insured because Bird was gifted to her via legal means. Is he the only thing she trusts enough to ride. Otherwise, she would be walking everywhere and hitching rides where she could.

Been Arrested: Several times! No charges seem to stick, even the most dangerous of heresy.

Thoughts on different dragons having cultures and different languages?

#augh i think they should have different language……. and like focusing on more cultral aspects #i feel like the rainwings have their own language and written language and god i hate the framing of the rainwings like AUGH no! #though in my version of wof i wouldnt make Glory convert them cause of course… i feel like she would end up joining as an important part of #the kingdom because she wants to be apart of the culture she missed out on and her discovering how much better it is than a stinky ass cave #and she feels like she belongs and damn were other dragons wrong fuck them fuck you kestrel 🖕 #anyways sorry if this is semi incomprehensible its 1 in the morning but oh the thoughts… #i know this has probably been said a million times before but idk #maybe i wanted to rant about rainwings and Glory #wof #wings of fire

You know what extremely niche thing I hate in fantasy books? When the nobility are out hunting with birds and someone makes a derisive comment about the ladies who use kestrels to hunt instead of a Real Bird.

Fuck you, figment of some authors imagination. Kestrels are so awesome and wonderful, you’re doing the fantasy equivalent of “I’m not like other girls” and it’s stupid and how dare you insult those murder birds just because they’re small and cute?

#ramblies #has anyone else encountered it? #I feel like the main perpetrator is Mercedes lackey and maybe I just think it’s multiple authors cause she’s done it so many times #but every time I see a kestrel I’m just overcome with love for them #their aesthetics are so pretty and they’re vicious and adorable and I love them so much

[criticalrolo]

fascinated by characters who have relationships where something So Huge happened between them that it’s impossible to deal with and they have to navigate life with this enormous elephant in the room at all times. And they simply Have to ignore it if they want to preserve that relationship. like it’s such a precarious situation to be forced into and it’s fascinating to examine what kind of mental backflips people are willing to do to maintain a sort of cognitive stalemate in their lives for the sake of normalcy

#I’ve done this unintentionally with some of my dnd characters like Thalia but I would love to do it Super On Purpose #it’s kind of what’s going on with kestrel and Willow #it’s sort of what’s going on with iris and her mom #I’d love to be super deliberate about it in the right campaign someday #dnd

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

#midst podcast #midst #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i'm of two minds about it bc on the one hand kestrel astutely pointed out that there was no mention of valor or abacuses where you'd expect #and using the fold to tear apart a bunch of guards who are trying to stop their boss getting Murdered doesn't Seem very valorous by trust s #and weepe having a bunch of guys in his pocket who WEREN'T originally trust even if they've been pulled in seems like something he'd like #but on the other hand. where would he have GOTTEN a bunch of non-trust guys???? #AND they're referred to as a special king triangle 'Company guard' in 3.7 #plus i really like the idea that like...the trust really does have some VERY fucking competent soldiers #we've seen phineas do some genuinely impressive athletic stunts and we know costigan can uh. hold her own in a fight #and anyway it isn't the prime consector's unit's job to be the best it's their job to LOOK the best #of COURSE you'd want your really skilled guys protecting your upper trustees and your king triangle #hell it's just another angle of the non-trust society underestimating the trust (but that's a whole nother post) #and as far as the valor goes...well. we've certainly seen definitions shift! company guards stood outside the vault in 2.13 too! #and witnessed the devastation after!

Kestrel Everdusk (old vs new!)

Isnt he just the prettiest boi ever?!? 🥰🥰🥰 Tweaked most of the things i wanted to!! Obviously the one that gonna go up in my redbubble shop is better quality (this is really crunchy bc i saved as a jpeg AFTER saving as png; ran out of layers and needed to slap my signature on there.), but i just wanted to show yall what i have so far!!! Im still trying to figure out the lighting though. Not a huge fan of the way it came out.

#i use this format a lot #it looks nice tho #art #my art #bg3 #dnd #forgotten realms #dnd 5e #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 tav #tiefling #bard #tiefling tav #my ocs #oc: kestrel everdusk #fanart #anywayyy i have a few more things to figure out before this goes up in my shop #like i said above im not a huge fan of the lighting #but!!!! im making a point to post more art even if its wips!! #wip #art wip #also my watermark looked a little nicer in procreate now its just piss yellow at the top #so!!! just know that the actual sort-of-finished art looks 👌 and is NOT piss yellow or blurry #i might add those foreground people back into the new one but well see #im trying to imagine what wouldbebest in print asfar a lighting goes soooo yeah #while i liked the old lighting a little more i just have to keep that in mind

Suddenly struck by the idea of Hunter figuring out she's trans in the princess Luz AU. Presumably sometime after Belos is dead and that isn't hanging over her and she finally has just the tiniest hit of space to breathe to figure it out.

Can see Amity being helpful here in terms of figuring things out, either by bring trans herself or one of the twins was (they're identical twins so one of them has to be, I usually HC Em)

Then Hunter coming to Luz with a "deep personal revelation Amity helped her with she needs to know about" followed by immense internal panic for her followed by relief that no, it's not the Grimwalker thing, just a girl shaped surprise, no need to panic. The horrible secrets are safe.

THIS IS VERY SWEET BUT THE LAST PART IS SO FUNNY HELPPP.....

hunter: hey luz. so uhh i noticed some... kind of weird things about..... me and how i uh. feel and how i look and-

luz: [ALARM BELLS]

hunter: -amity's been helping me research and i think i might have figured something out but, um-

luz: [Way Too Brightly] oh! what's up!

hunter: i... i just don't want you to think of me differently afterward, i'm still the same person i've always been so-

luz: mhmm!! of course! :D i'd never think differently of you about Anything, i promise :)

hunter: [deep breath] okay. i... might... be... a girl?

luz: [loudest exhale in the World] OH. THANK THE TITAN

hunter:

luz:

hunter: what.

#HILARIOUS. #add this to a perennial favorite trope of hunter getting to six months on HRT and amity suddenly being like #luz. luz there's something terribly wrong. when did hunter get hot. #<-based on. my own lesbian experiences. #toh #princess luz au #replies #horrible mindscape trauma pals #hunter toh #kestrel toh #i dont know if she'd change her name in this AU i think 'hunter' has less baggage here than in the canon #but to keep transfem hunter posting in one spot.

Do you think Windclan would have their camp in said ruins? It would be an interesting place for them to set down, though I can imagine that they probably wouldn’t seeing as how they’re clearly a human place and the cats are very much traumatized by humans, so it might be seen as a bad omen to even go near them

I heavily considered it, but ultimately yeah, no, Clan cats would be waaay too traumatized by human structures to repurpose one.

Additionally, I'm positive that the area would get semi-frequent human visitors. Horseback riding and dog-walking is probably banned in that area (both to preserve the heathland and to protect the Clan cats later) but in their TNP exploration, WindClan would find a lot of stale human scent and consider the site "not totally abandoned."

Harepaw, Heatherpaw, and Breezepaw probably hang out there a lot in secret, though. It's the Scary Forbidden Place you can sneak off to when you don't want to be bothered by adults.

#Crow would scream at Breeze when he finds out he's been going there #Which would just make Breeze want to be there more often #And eventually once they start futzing around with digging their parents would assume they're at the ruins when they're actually not #I like the vibe of these 3.5 apprentices #Hare and his brother Kestrel who isn't allowed an adolescence because WC needs a cleric #Breeze and his actively abusive father and permissive but kinda violent mother #And Heather and her single dad who loves her but makes political descisions she doesn't support #Better Bones AU #BB!WindClan
