"fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?" For Donovan

And "desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?" For Tatya?

ask me for some real character cuts

Oho I love these choices Kendrick

Fear

Donovan's worst fears all center around losing his control. His most visceral fear is of his parents, who he hasn't spoken to in decades, and who put him through a lot of shit that he thought he fixed with his own son. Having them in control of his life is the scariest thing he could think of offhand, not that he would ever mention this to anyone except Emma. His most relevant fear is that Emma is going to leave him, because to be honest, their marriage isn't big enough for both their egos. But they make it work, more or less, and he has tried very hard not to tell her about this fear in case that jinxes things. His worst fear, though, is the one he never thought to have until it already happened: that Sid would leave him.

He's also afraid of sea monsters.

Desire

The events of Nicea really threw Tatya for a loop. Before that, her biggest desire was vaginoplasty. She'd choose her audience with that one, but she didn't have any trouble mentioning it to people. The main focus of her career was saving up for it.

Then she met Isabel.

This changed zero things about her surgery plans, but it hard redirected her energy to romancing this woman, which was unfortunately a non-starter. No big deal, she wasn't there to cause trouble, and she'd probably get over it, haha. Well, she still might, but so far she's only fallen harder, like, for real. So along with her greatest desire that she tells people about, she also harbors the secret unfulfillable desire of being Isabel's girl.

Nicea taglist: @kahvilahuhut @kk7-rbs @outpost51 @writernopal @athenswrites

#I'm laughing about how I consider Spinder to be the Just Some Guy of the crew which means Isabel obvs should be with Tatya #this is what warp wife au is about lol: what if Isabel decided to marry Tatya instead #I think in locality space there are not necessarily the same restrictions and formalities around marriage. or at least people dgaf #governments do but fuck them consensual space poly marriage forever <3 #Tatya also ofc knows that down bad is not the same thing as in love. this does not mean that she approaches them differently #c: Donovan #c: Tatya #wip: aom #wip: nicea #not so nice ask game

my gun-loving, car guy, "i'm the straightest man i know" brother who just finished baldur's gate 3 talking about astarion:

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #we had a long conversation about the end of the game #mostly about astarion and karlach #he says he took multiple days to decide how to handle karlach's ending :`D #but i was just so amused by his reaction to astarion lol #he's like ''i loved my paladin's bromance with astarion! he's my best friend!' #and i was like ''oh that's nice i never even got out of neutral approval with him when i was playing paladin'' #and he was like ''you can check characters' approval? o.O'' #so while astarion was def his paladin's best friend‚ i'm not so sure his paladin was astarion's best friend if you know what i mean 😂 #he was also unhappy that his character just let astarion run off at the end without trying to follow him and make sure he was okay #and at gale for making a snarky comment about it #he was like ''i should have let him ascend 😭'' #''if this was real life i wouldn't just let my friend run off like that!'' #also: ftr despite my facetious description above let it be known that my brother is the kindest most accepting brother a dyke could ask for #he just also has a lot of stereotypical ''straight guy'' interests

Seeing as the Gerudo turned on Ganon, he might not have been that much better of a ruler.

First of all, we literally have no idea, because the only ancient Gerudo that we actually get to interact with is Ganondorf himself, and he has nothing to say about his own people. The ancient Gerudo sage doesn't count btw, she doesn't have a name, we never even see her face, and she has literally nothing to say except repeating the exact same dialogue as the sages for the other races. The narrative does not treat the ancient sages as people; they are four completely interchangable weapons that are owned by the royal family.

And secondly, I don't care how Ganon ruled them; the Gerudo only get one man every century, if their king sucks, they've obviously got their own system of government to fall back on. I have no idea what kind of authority the sages had among their own people, but honestly I'd say if the four of them were in charge of their respective people, then they were just puppet rulers appointed by Rauru, given that all four of them happily agreed that to sell their entire race into servitude the second Zelda asked them. Say what you will about Ganondorf, but I fucking know that if he was told the Gerudo people existed for the sole purpose of serving the glory of Hyrule, he'd drop kick Zelda into the fucking sun.

And don't get me started on the implications of the cultural differences we see between the independent Gerudo and the annexed Gerudo. The background Gerudo characters all have their own models, and we can clearly see that the ones siding with Ganon have their own unique looks - for example, the amazing lady with the mohawk that summons the molduga swarm in that one flashback. And men are never mentioned in these flashbacks at all, which implies that the Gerudo genuinely didn't care about settling down. Ganon even speaks derisively about marriage, implying that it's very rare for Gerudo women to make serious romantic commitments with men. It implies that their culture is more along the same line as their portrayal in OOT - they are a closed culture. Men trying to force their way into their areas are arrested, and mocked for being entitled dumbasses. Outsiders are only welcome if they can prove that they respect the Gerudo as people, and aren't just there to try and pick up chicks. It's never outright said, but OOT also makes it pretty clear that the Gerudo women just aren't interested in marrying outsiders - close relationships occur with other Gerudo, Hylian men are only considered useful for making babies.

Meanwhile the Gerudo we see serving Hyrule are all trying to measure up to Hylian beauty standards, and appeal to their men. Their one goal in life is to meet a man and get married. Men are welcome in their lands, and only kept out of the town itself... and even then, there's a small army of guys trying to force their way into the town anyways, which is brushed off as just haha, boys will be boys. No men allowed isn't even about independence, it's just a silly romantic tradition.

Of course this is just a fictional culture in a game world, but it's still really fucking uncomfortable that the 'evil' Gerudo are the ones that have independence, both politically and socially, and display a unique culture that refuses to tolerate disrespect from outsiders. Meanwhile the 'good' Gerudo are the ones that canonically exist to serve a kingdom where 95% of the population is light skinned (even setting aside the unfortunate implications, just saying one race exists to serve a different one is super fucked up), they have classes on how to be more appealing to Hylian's, and their entire social structure is built around finding a Hylian man to marry, making them all inherently dependent on the goodwill of outsiders. Even their biggest value of 'women only' is treated as a joke; men trying to trespass in BOTW are just shoved back out the door, letting them keep trying all day if they want. The crowds of men plotting to force their way in are laughed off as a joke. Nobody cares that there's a guy running laps around their city walls and trying to trick women into being alone with him. I mean for fucks sake, in TOTK we find that the creepy guy trying to lure women away has taken advantage of a massive disaster to get into the town, and he's still there once things return to normal. You can't kick him out, or alert anyone to his presence. And the Gerudo just tolerate Hylians blatantly ignoring their boundaries. For fucks sake, TOTK even reveals that the seven legendary heroines they've been revering the whole time were actually completely useless and unable to achieve anything... because they needed the eighth hero, a Hylian man to teach them basic tactics and do all the heavy lifting.

TOTK does not respect the Gerudo people in the slightest. It doesn't respect anyone who isn't Hylian or Zonai.

...This got a little off track, but the point I'm trying to make is, no, I don't consider the Gerudo turning on Ganon to mean anything. The entire game does not feel like the real story of what happened, it feels like the propaganda version of history meant to make Hyrule look as good as possible. I genuinely cannot believe that we're being told the real story about the Imprisoning War, because none of it feels real, and we don't get to know any details that might have made Hyrule look even slightly imperfect. We're told that Ganondorf is evil because he hates Hyrule, and he hates Hyrule because he's evil. The Gerudo people followed Ganondorf and saw him as a hero of their people, then suddenly he was their worst enemy. Hyrule is a perfect kingdom that has strong, equal alliances with the other races, but also all of the non-Hylian races exist for the sole purpose of serving Hyrule, and their leaders are expected to swear eternal loyalty and submission to the Hylian royal family. King Rauru and Queen Sonia united all of the races in peace and equality, which is why they're sitting on the world's supply of magical nuclear missiles, and every member of the Hylian royal family is allowed to walk around wearing them as cute accessories, but everyone else only gets them at the last second, and they all need to outright swear to only use that power to benefit Rauru and his descendants.

There's just so many fucked up contradictions, and so many hints of something more nuanced going on... but the story refuses to acknowledge any of it, and just keeps aggressively pushing the narrative that Hyrule is the ultimate good and couldn't possibly do anything wrong. I don't even believe that Ganon was a bad king honestly; we never hear why his people stopped following him. We also never even see if the Gerudo people turned on him at all; all we know is the ancient Gerudo sage wanted him dead, and given that she also happily sold her people into slavery, she's not exactly the most trustworthy source of information. All we know is that Ganondorf was a hero to his people, only one of his citizens is ever shown having an issue with him (and her motives are never explained), and then he lost the war and was sealed away, leaving his people open to be conquered by Zelda and annexed into Hyrule. By the time we see any Gerudo actually opposing Ganon (apart from the ancient sage), it's been ten thousand years since the war, and all anyone knows is the Hylian version of the story.

#tears of the kingdom spoilers #tears of the kingdom #ganondorf #the secret bonus reason for me arguing about this so much is that it's interesting #on a surface reading TOTK is a really boring story. nothing changes nobody learns anything there's no nuance #the game explains the entire story to us in the opening cutscene. idk why they bothered with the rest of the game #you could walk down those stairs in the intro and kill ganon immediately and it'd be pretty much the exact same story #if i take the game at face value then there's literally nothing to talk about. i just straight up do not care. #but analyzing all the fucked up implications nintendo accidentally included? now thats a story to talk about #i dont think ganondorf is secretly a really nice guy. i think he's more interesting if he's actually a complete bastard #but he's a complete bastard that has a point and if the game wont acknowledge that then i will #sure the people he's fighting against seem nice. but they're not actually good people #i mean ffs zelda certainly doesnt seem concerned that she last saw link taking a fatal blow for her then jumping into a bottomless pit #she doesn't even consider that he might be dead. or just unable/unwilling to fight after being horrifically wounded #at least BOTW had the decency to ask Link if he was willing to risk his life to fight ganon

All right so. I forgot to mention I am planning on doing some of this whumptober prompt list and it’s like. All about Abram and Evermore 🫣

Day one: drugging/sick/poisoned (full under the cut)

Find the royal au masterpost here

We’re messing with the idea of Lola and Nathan being sent with an entourage late-timeline to try and ‘reclaim the Wesninski house heir’ the ‘fair and correct’ way. It’s announced to Palmetto, Nathan coming with intention to fight for his heir back, challenge Abram directly; Lola came just in case Nathan somehow ended up losing. There are very strict instructions from the Moriyamas not to come back without a Wesninski heir.

#not all ironed out #or even like decided upon #how much angst is too much is the main question here 🤔 #BUT #it’s a nice tidy way to get rid of both Nathan and Lola in the span of perhaps a week #we’re all big fans of that I think #hm I think I need a whumptober tag #so to block: #emry whumptober 2023 #don’t worry I’ll try and pad it with comfort #I’ve got an ask locked and loaded for it already #ANYWAY #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #lola malcolm #royal au #drugging #whumptober

dusts off ask box

it was just genshin chars in wonderland roles, there isn't really any lore to it outside of the disney movie that i was following

i don't really follow kpop groups but i do like Twice and BTS songs

i can't believe we're getting three generations of women into genshin impact

it's pretty cool that you can share your interests with your family honestly

thanks i really don't draw them as much as i'd like to

i was more worried about my proportions back then but i'm glad to hear that my old art is still holding up

thank you, i've really been beating myself up lately

what the heck!! that's insane.. genuinely thank you for supporting me for so long

#i'm really sorry if my responses sound a bit dull #i'm emotionally drained right now #i can't imagine following me for like 4 years what the heck #i think we're all victims of the genshin pipeline because this game just hauled everyone from ALL over #godh tumblr is so nice..such a whiplash from twitter #it really felt like i couldn't draw throughout this past month but nice msgs from inbox and tags #really made me want to draw again #and now i'm actually drawing again #it also makes me happy that people are still writing into my inbox despite my absences #some of these are pretty recent actually like i rarely ever get simultaneous asks #again thanks everyone

I have this Kingdom Hearts Oswald design and backstory I made a few years ago and I really missed drawing him so here he is!! I gave him a Sora-inspired outfit since Mickey has a Riku-inspired outfit in KH3 :3

I love this guy so much!!! The Epic Mickey game is also so important to me adjkfladj!! I'll probably re-develop this story one day once I have more mental bandwidth :P But long story short, he was lost in the Realm of Darkness long ago and presumed dead (and also lost his Keyblade) and was slowly becoming a Darkling over time but Riku and Mickey accidentally ran into him when searching for Sora!

He's pretty angry when they run into him. I mean, Mickey has a habit of "forgetting" important people in the KH story lol. But he eventually gets a Keyblade back and gets saved. And he uses cool dark magic like Riku to complement all of Mickey's shiny light magic!

#kingdom hearts #Oswald the lucky rabbit #Sometimes non-Kirby things leak out of my head!! #feels nice :3 #art #I feel like I haven't shown my kingdom hearts fan side on here yet!! so here it is #I am an enormous kingdom hearts fan and it was probably the first thing I was ever a fan of. Years before Kirby was #I've played the first and second games probably dozens of times over the years #ask me any time about how much I love it. I mean it hahaha

hi, new follower here for the exquisite ME fanart, have you played supergiant games' hades? pretty sure that's something i'd love to see in your style

Thank you for the kindness! Regarding Hades, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that it's not my type of game, gameplay-wise. I usually don't enjoy combat for its own sake. The good news is that I did some research, because in this instance I'm perfectly fine with watching someone else suffer with combat. So, at the very least, I did some scribbles for you based on my findings :)

#I am about halfway through the yt playlist so I do not know the full story yet. but I wanted to draw nyx! love her. #I see why it's such a popular title. the art is very nice. I am very fond of zagreus' voice; most of the voices actually. #it's interesting that many of the personalities are switched in comparison to the mythology. the olympians are sooo good and kind - #and theseus is a fucking prat. #maybe there will be some reveals or twists further on but for now. yeah. we shall see! #anon ask #hades game #zagreus #(a younger version.) #nyx #pom of power #comic #supergiant games
