#the man literally can not catch a break

[xenocorner]

Here's the concept for one of my Strange AUs :D This has been sitting on my WIPs for months now, and today I finally decided to get it out :']

Info dump of this AU ahead for anyone interested, because I need to get it out of my system orz close ups below too

In this a AU, Stephen is raised in Asgard after his home planet (not Earth) is destroyed during a terrible war. Here, Donna is his older sister instead, and she was one of the soldiers who fought and died in said war (the sword he carries was hers).

He was taken in by the Asgardian army when he was around 6, and was raised collectively by them as part of the ranks. He is trained as a swordsman and excels at it.

He meets both Thor and Loki at that young age, and he develops a very close friendship with Loki, both of them growing up together and getting in all kinds of trouble (although Stephen was usually the one to get them out of it). But not all is fun and games with this two, as Stephen also becomes the person Loki confides the most in and viceversa. As they grow, this often leads to Odin sending Stephen to look for Loki whenever the god disappears after a family fight.

He becomes one of the best swordsmen in the 9 realms, and takes command of the Asgardian army when his mentor, the Ancient One (a commander in this AU) dies in battle.

During a battle in which he was perhaps too careless and cocky, he is gravely injured and his hands are irreparably damaged, leaving him unable to wield a sword.

Stephen has incredibly deep self worth issues, and since he isn't Asgardian by birth and also feels incredible debt to Asgard for taking him in when he was all alone, he is always trying to prove himself of his worth to be called Asgardian. So when he is left useless as a swordsman, he goes into a really dark place. This leads him to study magic instead, trying to still be of use to the throne and able to protect Asgard. He pulls through, and with a similar journey of the MCU Stephen, becomes one of the most proficient sorcerers of Asgard. That along with his previously good reputation with Odin grants him the position of Head Sorcerer in the court.

Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of distancing himself from Loki, being too focused on proving himself since the loss of his hand function. Of course, the god is resentful of this. They go through some shit to salvage the friendship and maybe even make it evolve into something more, but I won't go into that now as this lore dump rambling is already way too long lmao.

Also, he may or may not be part of a race that uses music as magic to affect the world around them too, but that's just deeper lore stuff 👀

Close ups to the head shots because I just adore how much softer and elegant he looks with the wavy hair, tiara thing and earring orz I want to do a better render of him like this so bad-

Plus the full body on its own too :] I would've loved to polish it more but I've got more stuff to do and just needed to get it out of my WIPs already o(-(

“doomed by the narrative” this, “doomed by the narrative” that, literally none of your blorbos are him

#for anyone who doesn’t know starkid’s stuff this isn’t actually a joke #he dies in literally every single timeline he is in and often dies twice because his insane future self #is nearly always wandering around the same timeline #and eldritch god looked at him and for no apparent reason went ‘ooooh the skrunkle 💖💖💖 I hope he explodes’ #and then made sure that he does and goes insane and ruins his own life in every single timeline #and then when he dies in his physical form he goes to the bastard box so that eldritch god can torture him more #like ‘facilitates him traveling through time so he can accidentally kill his first love and best friend who he thought left his life’ #‘without any warning and who he has been grieving and ruining his life over ever since’ type messing with #and there’s like no reason for the god to be so obsessed with this man he is LITERALLY just a sleazeball office worker #AND said god has a weird fixation on his little brother too!!! #literally cannot catch a fuckibg break #also said god is usually called Tinky which is just another layer. imagine your life being ruined by a game named after a teletubbie #the narrative HATES this guy

he protec

I’m not going to make the joke. I’m not going to make the joke. I’m n

Ohh. It seems this monster drains a witch’s magic by physically eating a spell circle formed by the witch. This means that the only things that can truly threaten her are

a) taking her by surprise, because if she can see someone drawing a spell circle they’ve already lost, or

b) attacking her with magic that’s formed in an unconventional way, that doesn’t use the witch’s internal magic. So perhaps Luz is the only person who poses a threat to her!

It’s interesting that Amity’s spell circle turns green as it’s torn away from her. Is that the natural colour of magic, or is it the monster’s influence? 

#wingsy liveblogs #wingsy watches owl house #owls ep 13 #man Amity can't catch a break can she? #literally the only episode she's been in where something bad hasn't happened to her is episode 6

✨✨✨

Anyra can never be at her full (magical) potential, for she is already using it constantly to keep herself alive.

Using extra magic on top of that is simply a lot more draining and usually saved as a last resort. In order to balance this out, she had to practice her physical abilities a lot more!

Becoming stronger and more athletic, than usually needed for teens her age, to quite the impressive degree.

#digital art #drawing #fantasy #illustration #original character #my art #anyra #poor girl man. nature can be wonderous; but also pretty cruel; it wasn't a attack from a fellow human #And now she has to be Constantly Aware. Oh the paranoia that cames with the trauma. I think I will also get into this later #she can't catch a break; literally. she has to constantly use magic. that +the training; Girl falls onto the bed and sleeps in mere seconds #too tired to even dream

[doyouknowhoyouare]

well last night was awful!

#think the big man upstairs has it out for my family #genuinely though like 8 days after my aunt died my grandma dies so! #all of this happening like 6 months after my other aunt and uncle died like can my family catch a break #anyway i loved my grandma v much and this is literally devastating sometimes life just keeps knocking u over
