Well I bit the bullet, here is the coloured sketch of Nim from my AU. (with a little 5feet dude for scale) ((Very very loosely based on the original dreamtale AU but it is isn't much alike or any way connected to that original AU))

Ancients Overview.

Nim is the Ancient of Perseverance, and magic.

Nim, at her full strength is about 70 feet tall and appears like a large deer like creature. Her antlers resemble a willow tree. When she settles in a place she likes the grow a tree directly on the ley lines. Makes her have an easy connection to what is her domain. She is mainly purple in colour which reflects her trait but she also has the other colours as is in the nature of magic. Her antlers also grow more of her apples.

In this AU her apples are much more connected to magic over emotions. If one were to eat an apple a number of things could happen.

If a normal monster eats one they become a boss monster. if a boss monster eats one they would get the power of a boss monster who absorbed a human soul.

If a human eats an apple they would become a mage, a human able to use magic. If a mage ate an apple they would gain the power as if they absorbed a boss monster soul.

No one has eaten one after that stage and Nim is unsure what would happen then, she assumes the mortal body of the one who ate the apple at that point would not be able to withstand the magic and die, but Nim is not sure.

Nim's personality in this is overall friendly and curious. she loves interacting with the mortals around her and when she had still been at full power she often forms a connection to the communities living near her. She used to take a form looking like a mortal to mingle better with those around her or ride with her Champion to be able to fully experience the world around her.

When she made Dream and Nightmare she lost a lot of her power that had been slow to recover. Now after the events of the main story she lives within the ley lines in the earth where she is recovering before finding a new place to permanently reside.

If she were to have a champion it would just be one who would be a Guardian. The Guardian would be there to guard her as she works on infusing this world with magic.

She is one of the oldest Ancients and was one of the first to pick her domain.

#ancientsau #ancientsandchampions #ancients&champions #Boom. Finally uploaded nim #Now i just need to finish #I wonder what will finish first #the actual story of me making these tiny sketches #seeing as i still need to make 4 #not to forget that technically nightmare and dream also count as ancients #should have thought about this earlier #but i didn't

"But the ship is pseudo-incestuous!!" THE GIRL CANONICALLY FUCKED HER ACTUAL COUSIN???

Like incest bad. Don't do incest. Don't be Lucy. But I feel like maybe thats not the grounds on which to be arguing here? Never mind that they are literally NOT related (no matter your personal headcanons). Ms. 'Incest is a normal part of growing up' probably isn't going to be morally hung up on that. Even if she (in the case of actual incest, not headcanon father figure pseudo-incest) absolutely should be.

I don't even ship it myself. But Lucy Maclean is a capital F Freak. You gotta accept that.

#like never mind that it is literally not incest and any supposed familial relationship is tenuous and headcanon based at best #one of the first things we learn about Lucy is that she's a Freak who's only concern regarding incest is the genetic fuckery it causes #she immediately suggested sex to a boy she had a crush on and met a few days earlier #she is not well adjusted and not normal and i love her for it #also i should not have to say this but to clarify i am not excusing incest. my point is that it would absolutely not stop lucy 🙏#lucy maclean #fallout #fallout tv show #fallout prime #fallout show #this isnt meant to be a thesis statment on shipping or anything btw i just thought it was funny and it is #vaultghoul / ghoulcy by proxy i suppose? even though as stated. i myself am a platonic worsties truther #this may be the most 'sharks just beyond the horizon' type posts ive ever made. but i hope the ludicrousness makes someone laugh

in my dream production of les mis Enjolras has his own reprisal of I Dreamed A Dream right when he's lost hope before grantaire joins him after all their friends have died thanks for listening 🫶🏻

#enjolras #les mis #fantine #inspired by the fact that we're watching the 25th anniversary concert #and i said earlier when we were watching the american tour bootleg that i would love to see - while i love the call that r should do #his own on my own.. i also think r should have his own 'stars' about enjolras #and then i was thinking about that post that was like fantine and enjolras should be played by the same actor #so true #anyway thats what it's like in my castle.. have you thought about yours #e/r #enjoltaire #les mis live #jess liveblogs les mis

the clans use salt for healing and cooking if i remember correctly. im only saying this because would someone ever name their kid "saltkit"

Yes! Saltkit is a valid prefix in BB, but only after moving to the Lake.

Before then, they make a sort-of-salt out of burning dandelion root. They consider this material a kind of soot, fine ashes produced by burning something. The rough translation of this spice is "soot-salty-taste."

Salty (taste) = Byyle (Comes from blood-taste)

Soot (ashes produced by finely burning something) = Keybo (Used alone in artsy contexts, usually describes bistre, a pigment made from soot and water.)

Plant Salt (of coltsfoot or dandelion) = Keybyy

To specify if it comes from Dandelion or Coltsfoot, you'd say Keybyy Raerra or Keybyy Hakprru. There aren't two dedicated words for the difference; these are both considered "types of dandelions" by Clan cats.

Dandelion = Awpo Any flowering ground plant with fluffy yellow petals.

This is why they didn't previously have a word for salt itself! They would only ever encounter raw salt as an animal lick, which they'd call Byylebon. Salty-useful-rock. Because it was associated with humans, they wouldn't steal them or interact with them much.

Rraash is a Townmew loanword, a word they adopted for raw, powdered salt during their time trading with BloodClan. At the Lake, they now collect raw sea salt during "Salt Patrols," which are beach trips where a big collection of apprentices are brought to the ocean to learn how to collect and process salt.

So, depending on how the parents would like to name their child, those translations could be;

Byylemew = Saltykit The taste of salt. Could refer to the flavor of blood, the taste of the ocean, or the spice made from burned dandelion roots. Has a very food-y connotation, probably named by gourmands.

Keybyymew = Saltkit, Spicekit, Seasoningkit, Rubkit This is a very ThunderClan sort of name. They traditionally used a lot of keybyy in their recipes, as it's very important for a good marinade and making ham. Though, it wouldn't be too surprising to see it used in WindClan too.

Rraashmew = Saltkit, Brinekit Raw salt. Made from boiling ocean water during large expeditions to the sea called a "Salt Patrol." Used as a medicine AND as a spice, important in controlling parasite infestations, fighting infection, and preserving food. Could just be referring to an off-white colored pelt, food, or even strength in battle for its association with treating wounds.

#Clanmew #BTW I decided to publish this one today just for fun. I'm quiet because I'm answering a bunch of the asks I got on Clanmew Day.#A lot of them seem to be flavor-related so I'm also considering just making a whole Clan Culture pack for ''muzzlesense''#Because I actually have a lot to talk about #Like HOW tracking works and the BEHAVIORS of a good tracker #I think it'll work as more than just a clanmew entry but also as a decent guide for how to 'think' like you have muzzlesense #And ergo how to effectively write a character interacting with the world who has it #Especially helpful for blind and/or deaf cats #btw person who asked me about how to adapt a blind riverclan cat I am thinking of you specifically #Because I got the ask and thought about it and realized that like #I kinda have to start from an earlier point than your ask #Because FIRST it's important to understand how MOST Clans work with muzzlesense #and THEN talk about how living in and around water affects a sense humans don't really have (not in the same way)#Aaaaand a bunch of other asks I got make me realize where I SHOULD start #But only AFTER starting at Step 1 and Step 2 can we get to Step 3; A blind RiverClan cat

I see a lot of compassion for (fanfic) writers lately and I'm glad about it. I didn't wish it any other way. It takes a lot of time and a lot of research and practice. It's a lot of work, it should be honoured.

I still wish this compassion and understanding extended more towards (fan) artists as well.

People interact longer with written words and it's easier to genuinely connect with it for most people. And I often get the feeling that most people know by now as well that a lot of work goes into it. But I still don't always get the impression that people realise the same thing is true for art. You just end up looking at it for a few seconds. A few minutes if it really catches your eye, or several times if it speaks to you enough to turn it into your lock screen. But the interaction is so brief and fleeting in most cases. And I get the impression that as an artist you're not allowed to complain over not feeling valued. you're not allowed to air your grievances, or people will just block you and not reblog from you again because there's someone else, someone better, already around the corner.

#just contemplating because of the post i reblogged a few minutes ago #I'm not even sure right now if the fleeting connection is necessarily a bad thing #it's just the nature of it #it's not rewarding for a lot of people #it just is #this also brought up something i thought about earlier when i was doing some lurking in an art discord #where someone made major improvements in just a few months #it's not going to keep me from it #but i do sometimes wonder if some people are just made to make art and have a way easier time #am I doing something wrong? should i be doing something else?#though to be fair i struggled with basically every hobby i ever picked up #nothing seems to come naturally to me

SRK!Don girlies pack it up and take it home we're all f*cked after 84 years we finally get official news about Don 3 coming in 2025 or so and there's uh. i can't believe i'm saying this this is actually coming out of my mouth but there's no Shah Rukh

#film: don 3 #don #don 2006 #don: the chase begins again #don 2 #don 3 #shah rukh khan #srk #farhan akhtar #bollywood #local gay watches Bollywood.txt #Farhan posts on his Instagram about how lucky he was to have both Amitabh and Shah Rukh as part of the franchise #and now they're passing on the mantle to another actor bitch!!!!! you robbed me of older DILF!Don bitch!!!!!#i was rooting for you we were all rooting for you we saw the rumors and then had them credibly refuted so what is this. wtf is this #istg if we get an announcement about the successor and it's Ranveer i'm going to throw something #i love the man but i cannot see him as Don. if you wanted to do sh*t like this you should have just made Don 3 earlier #and done a spinoff ffs #i'm grieving rn. literally grieving i only get two films with SRK in what is possibly his sexiest role to date??? you're f*cking kidding me #ykw maybe this is for the better. maybe Shah Rukh will have a project in 2025 that will blow the Don franchise out of the water #and have me thinking that it might have been a good idea to leave it alone. let's think happy thoughts happy thoughts—#*screeches*#Farhan i'm coming to your house. i'm in your walls Farhan

The UNEASE when one of the fun Mokona quotes of the series (Mokona is Mokona) is thrown BACK AT MOKONA in the distressing time loop situation (The princess means the princess!)

Kurogane visibly SWEATING (from the heat, as Fai observed last chapter?) as he wonders when in the timeline of Clow this is. ME TOO KUROGANE THANK YOU FOR THIS.

Lava Lamp does his dialogue duty and asks the npc directly so let’s see let’s see

Do you think I will like this answer.

I do not.

SEVEN

BABY SAKURA TIMELINE ACTIVATED

BABY APPLE SAKURA TIMELINE ACCIDENTALLY ACCURATE?

I have deep deep appreciation for the murder dads getting to react in shock at these revelations and then also vocally discuss the implications of everything between them. I’m living for this active investigation. It’s all spiraling further and further into confusion but they’re keeping all the pieces together in a logical form for now. And LOVE that expression on Fai when he says they won’t find any useful answers here.

Meanwhile Mokona asks her own question in the investigation (about seeing Sakura, because Mokona is always a darling) but the answer is that she’s not in the castle. The pause in everyone’s reaction to this makes me think the next line he says is going to be even worse.

INTERESTING.

This is new information (to us) but Lava Lamp reflects on this as if he should have been able to figure this out all the way back here. WHEN HE WAS ALSO SEVEN.

WHEN HE WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD (or close enough) AND TRAPPED IN A LAVA LAMP, UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT LOOK THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE’S EYE, and he still thinks he should have been able to piece together the mystery from the fact that Sakura did purification rituals at the ruins before her birthday.

Hindsight can be a bitch to deal with but Lava Lamp is just unerringly hard on himself.

#Either that or there's some time nonsense with Lava Lamp too #But let's put that aside for now #He spends the majority of his life in a lava lamp #Unable to interact with the outside world in anyway #Only RECENTLY escaped from that at all #And STILL thinks he should have figured it out EARLIER #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Vol 186 #Tsubasa #Lava Lamp Guy #Mokona #Fai #Kurogane #Sakura #Oh here's another thought #That the emotional distance between Lava Lamp and everyone else #This distance he keeps because he knows things about the plot and can’t say #Really...(spoilers for Clear Card)#It really mirrors Syaoran’s role in Clear Card as well #Or at least in the first few volumes #When he knows what’s happening but can’t say #And actively works behind Sakura’s back #The distant position the narrative forces on Syaorans is a constant thing #And this would be lovely to analyse further #once i actually read the rest of Clear Card

me after editing the aau prologue for the bajillionth time

#First chapter I changed the opening bc I always thought it felt off/abrupt and wanted to have it be prince pov from the start #I wanna get in his head more ok sue me #Beyond that tho it was just some wording edits #Specifically with the internal dialogue moments I helped them flow more/feel more like thoughts #Also mj gets a bit more of their usual edge/pessimism bc the prologue they always felt a bit too “ówò sad poor smol bean” or whatever #That’s it tho chapter 4 I didn’t change bc it’s peak #Did add some teases to later things tho like snatch senses mjs soul at the end of his chap but doesn’t realize it #Or like I added the Not Now running thing in the earlier chapters bc it was more of a chapter 4 thing so I wanted 2 set it up more so boom #I think that’s all the notable edits ig like I said just description additions the only actual new thing is the opener for chap 1 👍#Also also I got to include a hc that I have that I neglected to do before but I hc a!prince used plural internal dialogue #Because lol we love dramatic irony in this house #Grace post #this reminds me tho one of these days I should look through heart strings chapter one to look for editing things #Bc I think I did that recently but I don’t remember it much tho #Mostly just when the Hat stuff starts that was the parts I never directly rewrote I just edited them so they feel out of place in my brain #Also I’d wanna edit her dialogue bc it *was* in character (after rereading her diary’s to confirm) but I wanna have her be a bit more snark #Hat is Hard bc i Need the balance of cute little kid and also smug little shit (affectionate) like she is a pain to write man cries #This is just me rambling lol ignore it I just wanted to spam aau thoughts #In other news I made shapes redesigns but I’m on the fence on posting them bc idk if I wanna spoil or not hhhhhhhhh #Nowadays I’m more chill w spoiling things than I used to be #But there are a handful of things I’ve kept shut about (ex being princes name or mjs species stuff etc)#So I’m not sure if this thing with shapes i should keep secret or just post bc I used to spoil it but idk now #Shrugs #maybe I’ll do a poll later I dunno #Ok yapping over byeeeeee

I have feelings about this that feel so complicated that I can't even articulate them properly, but my younger siblings collectively outed me as non-binary to my parents ages ago and no one told me outright. Thank GOD I have a therapy call tomorrow, huh.

#i guess i just wish my little brother especially had said something about it TO ME earlier????? idk #it's not ideal but it's also not NOT ideal having them know without me saying anything #lots to think about #whatever choice i could have made about being more open was taken out of my hands the minute my little sister started using my pronouns #in front of my parents without clearing it with me prior #my folks aren't stupid. i should have expected them to ask someone.#but i guess i thought they'd try to talk to ME. or that my siblings would be like 'hey! we told them just fyi' afterward #no one said anything. is that good? is that bad???? neutral???? does any of this matter????#i'm Out i guess. the hell #genderqueer feelings

How many times do I have to learn the lesson that I should start the story when the story starts instead of trying to tack on introductory worldbuilding?

Seriously. My instincts about when to start the story are almost never wrong. But I always assume the first scene in my imagination requires set-up that people outside of my imagination don't have. So I tack on an intro to set the mood and to set up the plot and characters and world. And it's boring. When I should have just started where I wanted to start so I could weave explanations into a scene where things are actually happening.

#adventures in writing #i decided to tackle that goose girl retelling i came up with earlier this summer #(the one that was supposed to be a simple short version of a fairy tale)#(but i got too attached to it and became paralyzed by the need to do it right)#it turned out that one big hurdle was the lack of names #so i finally just picked some and went with it #and then when it came to starting the story i thought that i needed to show how the mc feels lost and ashamed by her fall #and explain that she had a talking horse and it's dead now and all that complicated stuff #and then i remembered writing 'a day late' where i made sure the story started with the character *doing* something #which is a decent lesson but it wasn't quite enough here #the really important lesson i should have learned from 'a day late' is that you shouldn't start the story too early #i had tried a meandering scene of beatrice arriving at the castle and it was boring #and i solved the problem by starting partway through her frantic search #and then wove in the explanations about her situation #which is exactly what needs to happen with this goose girl story #i just need to start with her doing something and then weave in all the exposition bit by bit #start where i'd initially wanted to start and let the readers figure out all the backstory as i slowly reveal it #i feel like i've repeated myself five times so i'll stop talking now

Okay, personally, if Miruko was introduced a little earlier into the story and maybe of Endeavor wasn't that big of a character, Horikoshi probably would have had Miruko trained Midoriya for the Work Studies.

I mean, if Gran Torino who does speed and kick moves who also happens to be a solo hero got to train Midoriya, then Miruko could have been written to train Midoriya, too.
