Okay obligatory DnD person as per the Dungon Meshi post(dnd/fantasy au + our life is amazing and I love it) but also I just wanted to say that there is a subclass of elves in dnd called aquatic elves that are kind of a happy mix between a mermaid and a, well, normal elf. I stick more towards spooky rather than nautical campaigns myself, so I’m not too familiar, but if I remember correctly they’re amphibious but with two legs rather than full mermaid.

Also obviously please ignore if you have different ideas but based off of what people have written about battle roles I could absolutely see some subclasses for the four!

Derek I could absolutely see as a Paladin(subclass possibly being oath of devotion or glory) basically the more defensive tank guys bound by an oath they make to themselves or someone important to them, which gives them a little spellcasting as well as actual auras that buff their allies later on.

Baxter I could see being a Bard (College of Swords), or what I kind of think of as a sort of battledancer. It would be a little less of a full spellcaster, but you can do special flourishes when fighting with a rapier which I always imagine as pseudo-dancing, plus he’d still get all the flashy bard spells. And to top it off, Bards actually use their charm(charisma stat) to cast spells which just screams Baxter to me.

Cove is a little harder but if you were going with him having a fish/animal companion while still being a melee fighter a Ranger(Beastmaster or Swarmkeeper) would be a good fit IMO, obviously with the Cove Creater he’s harder to pin than Baxter or Derek, but Ranger is pretty flexible. You basically get to choose a companion that’s from the land, air, or sea; and they can help you out in battle and follow you around, or as Swarmkeeper he could have his swarm be a school of fish.

Ruri is obviously a bit harder because you know your OC best, but if you really wanted to lean into more into the familiar/animal buddy route. Druid(circle of the shepherd) is always a fun choice! It’s kind of like the more spellcaster version of rangers’ Swarmkeeper where you can summon a lot of critters while still having some super strong elemental spells.

But anyway! I hope this wasn’t too long, I saw some (kinda) DnD our life content and I couldn’t resist! But thank you again for the adorable art of the main boys(and your lovely OC!) in a fantasy setting!

Second ask from dnd anon:

Oh! DnD anon part two!

But basically the theoretical party composition would look like:

Derek = Tank/Damage

Cove = Weapon Damage/Companion(s)

Baxter = Spells/Weapon Damage

and Ruri = Healing/Spells.

Also one last note about Druid is while druids have a lot of elemental spells (create water, spike growth, etc.), they also have the ability to do something called wildshape, where they can shapeshift into an animal for either out of battle(wildshape into a mouse to get under the crack in a door, then returning to normal and unlocking it) or battle (at later levels imagine fighting a spellcasting bear or even dragon) but also has more silly implications like wild shaping into a songbird to sing with Baxter, or a cat or sloth to ride on Cove’s shoulder.

got these asks a few days ago but i let them marinate in my brain hope you dont mind anon KJDSAUH

anyways AQUATIC ELF THATS PERFECT i tried to stick to what i knew about dumenshi rules in that post but for my first fantasy AU ideas i was going to do Cove a half mermaid (Cliff human x mermaid Kyra or elf Kyra [shes just so pretty its insane] x mermaid Cliff) that lived in a house right on the beach lmao, im happy that actually makes sense somewhere in dnd

i tried to look at the aquatic elves wiki from the forgotten realms fandom and omg so much text in the main page

also paladin Derek canon‼‼ imagine he does his oath to his brothers right after something dangerous happens to them when they were kids (im not saying his parents should die but im not saying they shouldnt--)

and bam!! tragic backstory 10x worse than his canon that is already bad enough :DD (try to make him feel less responsable now i wanna see that)

baxter turn rn. DO YOU THINK HE WOULD PLAY VIOLIN? I WANNA SEE THAT (<-this person didnt thought about drawing him with an instrument until it was time to write her thoughts) anyway it would def be a fancy instrument, daddy and mommy wanted to keep appearances i bet

one his spells makes his sword and moves shine and when hes under the sun his enemies become fucking blind

everything about him screams I HAVE MONEY but everytime people try to rob him he just rolls a nat20 in persuasion and they end up giving him money

and omg just imagine Cove's school of fish are all his pet fishes from the game JGASDFJK

im also. not discussing roles when the most i know about dnd is bg3 and i just finished 2 playthroughs. if you say ruri is a druid she's a druid, she makes super artsy flower fields and decorates every tree she sees with organical paint or smth jkfhds

Ruri's forest has a tree that connects with the ocean and they both just hangout sometimes (as if theyre not together 60% of the time already)

DRUID RURI THAT LIKES TO BRAID COVE'S HAIR WITH LITTLE POPPIES‼‼‼

MERMAID COVE THAT LETS RURI (otter form!!) RIDE HIS BACK WHILE HE SWIMS‼‼‼‼

mermaid cove humming a song and ruri falling to the river in trance/j

anyways anon i agree with everything tbh, there's so many ways to do a fantasy AU and i adore the dnd version (id kill for a dnd group or smth in my city)

i also have another fantasy au more vanilla but not-really. basically isekai baxter LMAO mostly an excuse to make ruri and baxter being domestic but before baxter developed any real domestic skill JHASFD

#rui draw smth #our life #olba #our life: beginnings & always #baxter ward #cove holden #derek suarez #our life mc #olba mc #anyways mermaid cove will always be on the back of my brain waiting until i feel like drawing him #for baxter and cove i just say silly stupid things and when it's derek's turn i kill his parents. lovely

i need a 200 chapters cliché slow burn manga with a happy ending and an unfinished anime adaptation abandoned by the studio 10 years ago about them

#ik baxter x mc only works bc they were separated for like 5/10 years and each had their own life #but a girl can dream with dressing up her favorite character with cliché clothes #rui draw smth #our life #olba #our life: beginnings & always #baxter ward #olba mc #our life mc

I was browsing your commission post and noticed that you had “Please don’t tag the art as kin/me/id/fictive!” On most of your Enstars posts?

Just curious what does that mean and why don’t you want people using it for that?

Tbh im also not 100% sure what that means but it was a request from the client to say that when i posted their drawings lol

#i got another client that asked me to not tag them in twitter to remain private too #in my rules i had the 'i'll upload the commission unless the client asks otherwise' and i think i have to rephrase it for the next time jsbf #rui thinks loudly #also mr marionettou requests always makes mika look like a wetcat i adore it JSBFKSJ

>×> my suggestion for the roles is mostly letting Cove and Derek being the Frontline fighters, Derek being mainly tasked with defense while Cove is more on offense(think of Laios and Senshi) and Ruri gets to be the priest/healer maybe even having a familiar(only allowed after adult moving away from the parents or found already in the dungeon) somewhat like Falin, Baxter is the main spellcaster who probably has very few healing/support spells but his magic is always described as beautiful by others

Honestly i agree with all! If anything i'd have to redesign a little Derek's outfit for the dungen to give him a little more defense yk

And omgg Cove and Ruri would def a tiny flying fish familiar around them iwnfkkw

To me Cove and Ruri know how to manipulate water but for wildly different reasons, Cove likes doing little sea creatures whenever he's bored, Ruri concentrates her mana on a tiny water bullet and aims to the head when she's cornered👉

ALSO Baxter distracting a monster with a beautiful northern lights while Cove and Derek are preparing to attack from its back JSNDKKS

#rui thinks loudly #our life #olba #as i said in the other post i think that even if Cove's less adept to magic he at least knows a basic healing spell since Cliff asked Moms #to teach him to prepare him for the future or smth #the only fully magicless in the group is derek! poor thing!

olba x dumenshi lets goo

little ramble about the worldbuilding cuz it my favorite thing abt dumenshi jkdsfh

besides Ruri and Cove, everyone meets as adults. Derek meets them when Cove s 16-17, Terri and Randy when he's 19-20 and Baxter comes into picture when he's 23

Yeah i'm using Cove's age as the standard lmao, i also made Ruri a half gnome so they could grow up together like in the game lol (i mean at least that's the case with half elves but i just assumed it was something universal haha)

dwarves aaaare super hairy but i wasnt sure about giving derek a full-beard so lets just say he shaves (?)

since baxter meets the gang once he's an adult, to me he spent half his lifetime with the olnf cast but went to the elves continent with his parents and since he didn't liked how dismissive they were toward others races (specially his parents, istg theyre like peak traditionalists lol) he ran off and joined our little group yay

cove is like laios but the "sea creaures" autism instead of the "all kind of monsters" autism

Ruri (and mom, shes also a gnome to me) teached a little magic to Cove, specifically water and healing spells

since gnome magic and elf magic is different, sometimes Ruri and Baxter teach magic to each other haha

dont ask me about their roles in the dungeon i dont play dnd

to me. baxter was this super classy elf, and he shows that classy-ness with expensive elf-like delicate outfits lol

Ma is a drawf (mabye?) and Mom is a gnome, which makes Lee also a gnome! Liz is still a human/tallman. Intentionally didn't make anyone a halfoot bc of their super short lifespan (mabye shiloh or jeremy)

cove suffers when they have to kill mermaids

How do you draw cowboy hats so well TEACH ME UOUR WAYSSSSSSS /nf lol

I DONT??????? WHO LIED TO YOU JDSKFHLKJSAD

if this is about the two and half boothill fanarts i did, i just copied the hat from screenshots

did a little study for his gestures before starting anything srs (im in love with how he moves) and i (unwillingly) also had to do his hat

for the red-sketch thing i had to midly improvise the perspective from the references i already studied and for the colored icon i just copied the ingame screenshot LMAO

(↑he's so cute im gonna explode)

i dont have ANY technique for cowboy hats, if i ever drew one before boothill i dont remember it KHDKSJF super flattered that i fooled you tho 🤭

#rui thinks loudly #honestly i hate drawing hats i hate it i hate it i hate it #i can never guess the right hat-head proportion i always make it too small or too big or wrong perspective i have to re do it 50 times #my technique is 'fake it till you make it' or smth like that JFASDHJKFLSDA #again look at blushing boothill hes so cuteeeeeeee #also how is he blushing does he have like red oil instead of blood or smth

FINALLY someone who acknowledges that ivan and till are TOXIC doomed yaoi and not just doomed yaoi. Thank you so much

I KNOW it's good to be delusional to some point (the actors au is the only thing keeping the fandom sanity atm lol) but i personally draw the line with ignoring heavy aspects of their relatioship in favor of your headcanons

Want an *only* doomed relatioship? MiziSua is rigHT THERE AND THEY'RE LOVELY

#rui thinks loudly #i like that theory that Till doesn't look at Ivan bc he feels guilty that he didn't escaped with him as a child (round 3) and that Ivan stay #stayed* for him #it's another cup of angst to the mix
