dev. Kalim's unique magic

Kalim’s unique magic is called oasis maker, and allows him to summon forth rain / any stream of water. Now this wouldn’t seem as impressive at first, as water magic is a thing within the twst world, but it’s so much more than just a small amount of water around him.

For one, the magic itself can last much longer than an ordinary water spell. Honestly, it can last for as long as Kalim can keep it up. Sometimes he can make it last up to or over an hour. The longest he’s ever kept it up is three hours. Which considering how short and quick some unique magics seem to be so far, is an impressive feat.

He’s able to keep this up because of how ‘ordinary’ his magic is. Everyone thinks that summoning water is easy and it is! Which is exactly why his magic lasts for as long as it does. There is one special element that is the part that really tires Kalim out.

This rain has healing elements aswell. It won’t heal major wounds, or stop major bleeding, but it can heal bruises, small cuts, stop headaches, dull otherwise sharp pains, help with physical fatigue. Small reliefs like this. This aspect of his magic is less known, as most are too mystified by the rain to notice when he is using it to realize such things until after the fact and never really put two and two together.

This is the true power of Kalim’s rain other than the length he can keep it going. The more he focuses the more he can heal.

There’s a couple restrictions to the magic as a whole, of course.

However ‘too much’ is kind of subjective. Kalim is a dancer - so he’s used to some physical fatigue and he often dances while using this power, but he becomes more tired while moving and using his magic at the same time. So dancing with this power active is often slow and routine, rather than something energetic and freestyle (think Yuna from ffx with her dance on the water).

He uses the dance as a way to get people’s attention on him and come towards the water - and the healing ability of it. So he’s entertaining them while it’s happening and he can ease their troubles and give them some physical relief.

Four, it tires him out faster if kalim focuses solely on the healing aspect. The rain won’t last as long either so he doesn’t do this unless he sees someone really in need of both the water and healing even for a short amount of time.

Now into more of the lore TM

Kalim thought of this magic during a terrible heatwave in the land of hot sands. His only older sibling at the time had died from a heat stroke, thus making him the heir to the asim family. Kalim was so distraught by this that he tried to find a way to bring rain to the land. He had read about rain dances and with the water magic Jamil was helping him with he thought of maybe combining the two. He didn’t want anyone to suffer as his older sibling had.

It wasn’t easy. He nearly fell to the same condition that took his older sibling - as he practiced out in the sun for long hours with Jamil. It was thanks to him that Kalim didn’t fall to heat stroke himself but he still made himself sick with all the practice and stress. This didn’t stop him, though. He went around the asim house and practiced by doing small water spells for his younger siblings, making sure that they were being careful with the heat aswell. But this wasn’t enough for him - he would stare out over the city that he could see from his balcony and want to help everyone.

One day, that just clicked for him. He had been so focused on someone who had already passed thanks to the heat that he wasn’t focusing on who was present, who was still alive. That day he went out to the center of the city and started dancing - then the rain started. The rain managed to cover the entire city (the only time kalim has been able to pull off such a large area). It was only for 5 minutes, but the city found some relief from the sun and heat. Everyone was out of their houses and on the street to stand in the rain - collecting it and celebrating. Kalim passed out as soon as the 5 minutes were up.

He was dubbed the ‘oasis maker’ after recovering - and named his magic the same thing. He became one of the most important people in the city, not just because of his family and being the new heir to the asim family, but because of his magic bringing relief to the land. Kalim even started on a trip around the country to bring rain to each city and town and give them rain during the heatwave.

However, this also brought more attention onto him - and some people wanted the magic for themselves. They wanted to be the ones that controlled the rain, to have the relief and power all for themselves. So the kidnapping and assassination attempts on Kalim skyrocketed. He was too precious to kill, but in the same breath some groups had decided if they couldn’t have the power then no one person should. Kalim was placed under house arrest and didn’t leave his home for nearly a year. The only time he was allowed to leave was when he had planned dances to use his magic and there was so much security that any attempts on his life or to kidnap him were stopped early on. Or at least, most of them. There had been two successful attempts to kidnap Kalim during that year. One group had been so bad they had made Kalim dance until his feet bled and he passed out. No more public showings were scheduled after that. Any more dances were scheduled inside the Asim home (as he could make it rain even indoors) and people could come collect the water as needed - while being surrounded by guards.

The heatwave ended and he was able to come out of his home more but the series of events made him and his guards more paranoid over kidnappers and assassins. Not long after, the carriages for NRC arrived for him and Jamil, and it was quickly decided Kalim would attend so that he could get away from the land of hot sands for a bit and be out of harms way. Jamil was convinced assassins would follow them to the school - and he was right. Kalim still deals with people trying to assassinate or kidnap him both because of his family status and his unique magic.

He is paranoid about protecting his life not only because he is scared of death - but because he is afraid that he won’t be able to help his homeland with his magic if another heatwave came through. Also, there are people who treat kalim like a king (one could argue even a god) because of his magic - and those people would likely go into a fury knowing that kalim is dead, tearing his homeland apart. His life is too important to be lost, and he knows this better than anyone.

while im at it neopronoun opposition is weird to me as a swedish person.. the whole debate is so anglocentric that they assume every language landed on the same solution they did, to reuse a plural pronoun as a gender neutral one and then they think any other solution is absurd or unheard of. what do you mean you just made another pronoun up you cant do that!! etc

coz its like here in the 2014 the swedish academy accepted 3rd person pronoun "hen" (as opposed to hon/han) like officially into our word list after it gained some popularity in the 2010s. like that is a NEOPRONOUN that someone just Came Up With in like the 60s and then people just started using it and now its just a recognized part of our language. sure we could've also reused our plural pronoun "de/dem" as a gender neutral one but we just made up a new one instead. and to like imply that mainstream use of a neopronoun is just UNHEARD OF and that neopronouns is something the mainstream could NEVER GET USED TO EVER!!! is... your perspective is very limited to the english speaking world is all i can say

#now like it is pretty cool that the swedish academy did choose to include it in our word list even despite the conteoversy #because ofc there was conteoversy what do yoy MEAN youre CHANHING OUR LANGUAGE????#but like even if that disnt happen the word still gained lots of traction before that and started being used #like smth doeant have to be accepted by the mainstream nevessairly to be valid anyway #some ppl are happy even if only their friends and loved ones r the ones using their neopronouns #so like. bleh #q-rambl3 #sorry for the many gender rambles these past weeks #i see so much discourse and it irritates me ans TBIS IS MY ONLY OUTLETTTT

Genderfluid Julie, again! Named Jules because the name is right there!

I like to think he changes his voice a bit with the help of Sally, who calls him Julian or Julius (so Greek sounding).

Eddie and Frank are already friends with him, so they love him already, which makes the thought of friend crushes (also called “squishes”) very possible. Like when you have a close friend and you’re hanging out as usual, but you’re suddenly confused if you like them more than just a friend or if you just really like them as a person (platonic).

right side of my spread for @kazumajizine ! (see left side here)

y0-era real estate agent!Kiryu and 80's!Goromi at The Grand. it's no secret that I love Goromi, and the idea for the dual images came from me being assigned y0 and not being able to choose between drawing "regular" Majima and my favorite of his alter egos~

below is the back that I whipped up for the physical prints- the mods had the fun idea to print them playing card sized and 2-sided and I tried my best to model something like a Bicycle card deck.

i am by no means a graphic designer, but i had a lot of fun executing this concept and am still so happy with the way this turned out :^]

#yakuza #rgg #kazumaji #goromi #yakuza 0 #while i prefer the way the left turned out composition-wise i'm still pretty happy with this one! the grand color scheme was lots of fun :3 #the details were a bEAST though.. holy hell i had to sacrifice some but i think i got all the necessary rendering done

screenshot redraw! though i took creative liberty in making it rain here even though it isnt (yet) in the screenshot bc i thought it'd be cool (i also enjoy drawing water droplets)

there are two versions of the drawing here, the first one is edited for mobile to get it to look closer to my intended colors, while the second one is the original from my computer. the third image here being the original screenshot, lol

#my art #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #juri arisugawa #hate how different the computer vs mobile colors are... the original looks so dark on my phone </3 #my computer always displays colors lighter than they appear so unfortunately a lot of my drawings look darker than intended on mobile #sometimes the difference isnt too bad but this time it was. pretty obvious #hence two versions of the drawing #anyway im very happy with how this turned out #the original screenshot just stuck with me and. im not sure what it is about it that i like so much #but i just really wanted to draw it #still got two other rgu related drawings to finish but at least i got one done #anyways its 3 am... time for me to depart to eepytown #2023

there's no way the bathroom at peppino's pizza is actually that big but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . hey ummm anyway.... i care them...... anyway there's a lil ramble on my take on fake pep's like psyche or whatever in tags on the og post if ur into that kinda thing :y

hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino]<- u are here [gustavo] [gerome] [noisette again]

#ramble after realtags yeag. shoutout to serrangelic btw suggesting the silhouettes thing bc i would have Died otherwise #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #gustavo and brick #arting #pizzaposting #so anyway i think fake peppino has like. a general awareness that he is supposed to Be Peppino and that he was Made to do that #and likewise he does generally try to...do that. the thing he does NOT realize is hes like really goddamn bad at it #not to be mean but like...c'mon. they are pretty distinctly different kinds of guys even beyond the physiology yknow.#he's neither on-brand nor fooling anyone dsjdsjjkgfsd. BUT!#since the rest of the cast generally likes him [at least as I play it] he thinks hes doing just fine #he's like 'oh they r happy with me so i must be getting a good grade in being peppino :)'#so getting told that 'yeah you actually really suck at that but that was never the reason people liked you'#and told that by og model peppino no less--yknow THE guy he's supposed to be living up to #who's already a bit intimidating for that and who ALSO totally wrecked him TWICE in the tower #making him acutely familiar with just how formidable the guy is and how much there IS to live up to....#it's a Moment for sure. not really a sad or hurt one though. just... contemplative.#thinking abt people liking him for being the guy he's already naturally been being even though that guy is Not Peppino #i don't think he's gonna be super broken up about realizing he has a bad grade in peppino given everything else hes got now #nor do i really think he cares enough to go like reinvent himself or whatever after the fact #he seems to b pretty clearly having fun with it already so i think he just keeps doing that #and in some cases he still has the pre-installed peppino traits/instincts like to cooka da pizza. and that's fine #is this projection. yes. but if youve been following me awhile you know most of my character writing is ghdhfdgf #gonna kinda expand on all this in the gerome one which is...one after next. itll be a bit but man.#anyway peppino will never admit to anyone and especially not himself that he's gotten a little attached to the guy. hee hoo #pep tends to be kinda surly but he certainly has his ways of showing he cares. all of which are on display here #''that thing is not my son'' says man currently watching thing's antics with the 'bemused dad' arms crossed pose. yeah ok buddy.#gus is totally onto him already but hes not gonna say anything.#if u read all this ur prize is not having to go decode fp's rot13. his lines are ''meant to be you...?'' and ''wrong question.''

I normally use like. 150+. But this poor laptop is not built for that #The tools were starting to lag and the program froze for a couple of seconds before starting to work again and it was a whole mess so #I couldn't put a lot of detail into it #but I'm still pretty happy with the result!!#I love Lisey's design so much specially Narinder's #I really wanted to make fanart for them and I finally got to finish it!! there was a lot of trusting the process in this fjhsd but it was #definitely worth it. I think I exceeded myself. Very proud of this one.#even though I couldn't put the amount of detail I would have wanted to because of the laptop's limitations..

They're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!!

I actually started this last month and then got burnt out and didn't finish it until now but whatever I FINISHED IT!! I finished watching Scooby Doo and Guess Who last month and there's a Wizard of Oz parody in the last episode and I just knew I had to do fanart, a legal requirement if you will.

I kept Shaggy, Fred and Velma's costumes from the episode the same but I thought Daphne and Scooby deserved costumes that were a bit more personal too. But who would the wizard in question be?? Well don't worry because I drew art for that too!!
