This post is for people who LOVE MAKING SIs and get excited about them! Whether that's because of:

💖Deeply integrating your SI into lore

💖Designing outfits/hair/looks

💖Developing all of their relationships with other characters

💖Figuring out their life story, from past to present to future

💖Another super cool reason I missed! (share? :D tell me in tags, comments, or reblogs)

YOU ARE VALID AND I LOVE YOU! Sometimes it is just as much if not more fun to focus on SI development than on ship development 🥳keep on making your awesome SIs!!!

#self ship positivity #self ship community #self ship #self insert #I love love love developing new SIs and their lore SO MUCH #sometimes more than working on the actual ship #see my obsession with my totk and botw SIs right now - I have a massive SI + Vaati lore document ehe

okay i meant to make this post forever ago but my personal opinion on why so many people were so dissatisfied with lightfalll (disclaimer: i am not one of these people, i love lightfall SO much), is that lightfall was kind of subjected to a really aggressive marketing campaign.

like, stick with me here, i feel like almost all the lightfall release content (the trailers especially) were so focused on battling the witness, how this battle has been centuries in the making and this is the Second Collapse Finally Finding Us, only for there to be,,, no real resolution. the end was left on such a severe cliffhanger, but not only that, there was NO battle with the witness. the witness didn't even seem to be having a hard time at all with what we WERE throwing at it.

and for narrative reasons *i* am obsessed with this ending; in terms of storytelling i adore practically every creative decision that was made in lightfall, but i think the reason that so many people were so upset about it is because lightfall had such intense marketing and was rooted in the implication that this was the End of Days, only for us to get almost no closure, and instead so many more questions.

(there's also something to be said, i think, about the fact that the people who ARE most upset about this are like, the youtube gamer dudebros who's content is very very often rooted in the aggressive, violence-and-warfare, pvp-centric, no-interest-in-lore approach to destiny, and that the people i've seen primarily ENJOYING the narrative decisions (or at least being understanding about it) are the artists and writers and loremasters of the fandom, but i'm not quite sure,,, how to expand on that point.)

#like. something something yt dudebros who are like 'uhhh destiny is about violence and war and the lore is only for people who suck at pvp #and destiny is a shitty evil game i hate it sooooo much hashtag 26871435 hours recorded gameplay' asshats #being the ones complaining MOST about the narrative in. a narrative driven game. and refusing to engage with ANY lore in a LORE HEAVY GAME #vs. the community on here thats full of artists and writers and people who actually like to analyze the story and characters #and engage with the lore and have any emotional attachment at all to the characters and world and themes #being the ones who are like. appreciative of the narrative decisions made and looking forward to where the story will take us and #looking at the game with LOVE instead of hatred and malice #and even if you didn't like lightfall!!! people in the latter category are still the people who i keep seeing be like #'yeah even if i didn't personally like it i can understand the significance of this narrative decision.'#'i acknowledge that bungie put so much time and effort and passion into making this even if it wasnt satisfying to me personally.'#'i have the critical thinking skills to understand that bungie is not a sentient malicious entity trying to ruin my life; me; specifically'#like. do you get what im saying. gamer dudebros who think the world revolves around them vs the fandom members who actually understand art #bc. thats what destiny is. its art. the whole thing is a massive art project made by a group of people that are very passionate about it.#do you hear what im saying at ALL its like two separate fandoms for the same piece of media the difference is so stark #mine #destiny 2 #lightfall #destiny 2 lightfall #eos destiny essays

So I just found out that Jason Aaron (aka the worst Namor writer in the long 80+ years history of the character) is writing Namor.

I'm doing fine (lying).

#namor #WHY ME.#WHY MUST THAT TRASH WRITER BE INFLICTED UPON ME #its an understatement to say that he's the worst writer bc if there was something worse to call him then thats what i would be saying #like in 80 + years namor's had some bad writing but never a writer like aaron who purposefully shits all over the character #lmao #lmao.#he didnt even know the MOST basic lore #he cant even open wiki for 5 seconds #he couldnt write a complicated character to save his life #spent years watching him tear down namor in stupid fucking avengers #but now he gets CREATIVE CONTROL OVER NAMOR AND ATLANTIS #marvel hates namor and this is proof #I've seen creators state online how they tried to get a pitch in for years #ive seen them say they would love to write namor #writers who actually KNOW the character #but nooooooo #we get #jason. fucking. aaron.#first marvel doesnt even give namor any spotlight after he was massively popular in BPWF and now they are putting him in the hands of a hac #I will be complaining #loudly #for a long time about this #jason aaron hate train

Keep thinking about Dungeon Meshi not bc I know anything about it but bc of what I've seen on my for you. Like. I thought Laios was gonna be the cook because he wants to eat all the monsters but I guess that's Senshi??? He really wants to eat a specific soup again and sometimes he has horns and sometimes he doesn't (this is usually tagged "halfling" what is he. I thought he was a goat man. But sometimes he isn't??? Are the horns fake) There's an elf lady and I can never remember her name but she's gay with Laios's sister and always seems annoyed with him but in a hater friends kind of way. Speaking of haters my fucking favorite is the cabbage patch kid that's actually a divorced 47 year old father of three. He's the party rogue and every gene in his body is the Hater Gene. Laios and his sister get turned into birds but then un-birded and this fixes her shitty eyes. I am experiencing this manga/show through random posts on Tumblr and it's delightful. I think I should watch it

Edit: oh my god the horns are just on his hat. Except I forgot he wears a hat so they just got put on his head in my brain. Nvm I've connected the dots

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #i learned about it from one of my favorite artists posting fanart about it #and then liking those changed my for you page #and then senshi was odd and i enjoyed seeing his massive eyes everywhere just O.O #and then i realized the kid was actually just a kid sized grown ass man and an absolute hater #and then i was hooked and then tumblr started showing me lore posts #s/o to that one post that was the panel of chilchuck swearing at laios #and laios lamenting being cursed out in a language he doesnt even know #shoulda reblogged that one i cant stop thinking about it lmao i love him

“Grampa says I’m des-desen- from Royal Knights. The only knight I like is Sir Raven, though.”

Putting that aside to deal with later, Warriors asks, “Who’s Sir Raven?”

Legend grins, the expression bright. “He’s m’ am-ancestor! I met ‘im on my second, um, third ‘venture.” He proudly holds up two, then after a moment, three tiny fingers. “It was when I went to Labrynna an’ saved Nayru! She’s th’ Oracle o’ Ages! Her dress was really pretty.” His cheeks flush and he ducks his head to hide behind his hair at the admission.

Someone coos.

“How’d you meet him then? If he’s your ancestor?”

“Oh! I went back in time an’ helped him free th’ country from a witch who took over Nayru an’ then th’ queen an’ made ev’rybody build a big tower- it was th’ queen’s plan or-ori-gi-nally,” he sounds out, “cause the guy she liked disappeared an’ she wanted him t’be able ta see it from wherever he was bu’ then th’ witch lady took over an’ made it ta power Ganon or somethin’- I dun ‘member- so we had ta fight her but we couldn’t cause she was still controllin’ the queen but then she wasn’t and she turned inta a huge spider an’-” He stops to take a deep breath.

“An’ there was webs ev’rywhere an’ it was really really gross an’ scary but Raven helped me! She grabbed me an’ it hurt real- a lot but Raven an’ Ralph helped an’ then we cut her up an’ then she blew up! An’ ev’ryone was okay an’ happy again an’ Raven said he knew I was his descend-ant even though I tried real hard ta keep it a secret but he said he was proud o’ me an’ then Nayru sent us all home t’the future an’ the portrait in my gramma an’ grampa’s house changed.”

He blinks up at them with eyes sparkling amethyst. “Grampa didn’t try ta make me be a knight ‘gain after that, which is good, cause I told ‘i’m I didn’t wanna be a knight anyways.”

#snail #snippets and bits #lu legend #featuring the talent of small children to ramble on and on without stopping #this was written similarly haha #not pictured: everyone trying to take in the massive lore dump that legend dropped on them for like five minutes #wars is a little in shock. time too actually

To respond to your tag about the ring in that drawing, that’s actually an inside joke.. with myself lmao. It’s actually a bottle opener ring because I saw one and immediately associated it with Greed

LMFAO THAT'S SO FUCKING GOOD THOUGH

(the post in question)

#i spent a solid 30 seconds trying to think if that could actually Work as a bottle opener without ruining your finger #before realizing you could probably just make your hand into a fist and do it that way #really excited to have unlocked the Bottle Opener Lore thank you for sharing cotgar #get that in black and it's both an ace ring And a massive embarrassment which is about as on-point as you'll ever get #cotgar2 #reply

do i believe that taylor and karlie kissed at the 1975 concert in 2014 … well that’s one secret i’ll never tell xoxo

#crazy to see so many ppl talking about taylor and matty allegedly hooking up in 2014 and NOT bring up kissgate .#like how do you either not know or not care #like girl miss kloss is at the centre of the matty taylor lore how do u not care #omg matty looked at taylor while singing fallingforyou and pointed at her girl and she was too busy cuddling karlie to even notice ..#i’m not a kaylor on GOD but i just don’t understand how you can talk about matty and taylor and not even bring her up #i do think they had a really intense friendship and a massive friendship failing out which is actually more interesting to me than them #secretly dating #but also i don’t know any of these people #all i know is that i don’t trust that british man and his bad teeth and i think karlie is a maniac for going to the eras tour just to sit #in the nosebleeds and see taylor rerelease 1989 from miles away knowing that a decade ago she was the first person to ever hear that album #😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫#MENTAL ILLNESS #her doing that is way more insane than matty healy eating raw meat on stage and playing tiktoks #behind every deranged man there is a more deranged woman #that’s the thesis statement here #taylor swift #mari.txt

what book is it, if I may ask?

Dreams of Shreds & Tatters by amanda downum 💀 its an urban horror with queer characters thats supposed to be about The King in Yellow and other lovecraftian horrors, which got me interested since ive been so into the malevolent podcast. but when i tell you this is the most pretentious mess ever written... it spends more time relating to greek myths than anything king in yellow related, not to mention its random incorporations of alice in wonderland...? and this out-of-NOWHERE recitation of, apparently, the opening to beowolf?? in its original language??? what does this have to do with anything-

and everytime characters speak in a different language the only way to understand them is to use the google translate camera, theres no contextual help or rhyme or reason. nothing is explained. not even the batshit lore connections its trying to tie together from different sources. why is dionysus mentioned more times than the king.why is the Devil Himself walking the streets of vancouver. why are all these characters so insufferable. why is liz's asexuality a seemingly throwaway line in the start of the book while her boyfriend's allosexuality is given more time and narrative attention. why is that rift not discussed or elaborated on. what the actual fuck is going on

#i could forgive the other (strange) lore references were it not for the. Yellow and black book cover #with the massive yellow silhouette of the king on it #and the description that Only mentions the king and the dreamlands.......#where is he. where the Fuck is he in the actual book

My NeverAfter OC (warning spoilers up to ep 6ish)

Princess Catrìona

Sister of Kate Crackernuts

(Kah-tree-nah) The Scottish Gaelic name for Katherine (Kate)

The story of Kate Crackernuts

"Kate Crackernuts" is a Scottish fairy tale collected by Andrew Lang in the Orkney Islands and published in Longman's Magazine in 1889. The tale is about a princess who rescues her beautiful sister from an evil enchantment and a prince from a wasting sickness caused by dancing nightly with the fairies.

In the original version, both sisters have the name “Kate” and are the same age.

First Neverafter (Ep1-3]

Closely follows the original tale, with the dark times coming after their story ‘ended’

Both grew up in a Small forgotten kingdom bordering Jubilee

Catríona is the daughter of the King and Kate Crackernuts is the daughter of the new Queen (The Stepmother)

The Hen-wife and the Stepmother on the third try trick her into losing her beautiful head and switching it for a sheep’s one when she is 18

Kate grabbed Catríona's human head and they ran away to fend for themselves, where they came upon the kingdom of Jubilee

Kate finds that one of King Cole’s sons is sick, and goes on to watch him for three nights, following him to the Green-hill where faeries force him to dance the night away

Over three nights Kate gets the cures for her sister and the prince

Kate Crackernuts reunited Catríona with her human head and healed King Cole’s sick son from the wasting

The sick, now healed, son marries Kate and the good son marries the ill, now healed, Catríona [Their Happily Ever After]

As the war came to Jubilee they fought alongside their husbands and died on the battlefield at the age of 24

Present day post merging of the two lives:

The faeries of the Green-hill bring back Catriona into the new world

as something (the Stepmother) has reached Kate first,

they didn’t want to summon either of the princesses, but the princes have disappeared, due to Jubilee not existing, in this new version

the Mother Goose putting Old King Cole in the book, and his kingdom disappearing from the Neverafter [fairies and Catriona don’t know this]

in this world the Stepmother has stolen her human head and locked Kate away somewhere, stopping them both from escaping together

The second world Catriona had left her father’s castle on her own scared of her Stepmother who stole her head and of what the people would say of her sheep head.

Neither sister completed their set stories

Fairies task Catriona with finding the source of the stories going missing and bring it to them, for Catriona and Kate cannot have their happily ever after if their princes doesn’t exist

Throughout her journey in her second life, she has started to doubt the sincerity of the fairies, but for the major part still sees them as the preferable side and an opponent to The Stepmother

Returned around the same time as PCs despite dying much earlier than the group, the faeries were reluctant to employ a princess and spent more time trying to find other methods, the reluctance is noticeable to Catriona when she is in the in-between with the faeries of the Green-Hill

we'll see what happens in Tuffeton, but I think she would be tailing the party after hearing news of the disappearance of the massive spider that had taken the village previously

Her new body/skills

the stepmother still has her human head and in turn, Catriona now has the head of a ewe with curling horns she can use to ram her opponents. [Minotaur reskin]

she speaks with a sheepish lisp as she had to reteach herself how to speak common as she initially could only bleat when her head was stolen

she can speak to any type of sheep, and understands some goat tongue

This Catriona has been wondering the Neverafter after running away, studying magic as a force to rescue her sister, and combat the Stepmother [3rd level Fighter Eldritch Knight]

Break down of her Image

The head is of a Scottish Blackface sheep, where the ewes also have horns The armour is believed to be dated around 1515 from Greenwich, England, and belonged to Henry VIII The sword is a European sword dated around 1400AD The page is from a 16th Century manuscript written in Latin, Scots, and Gaelic

Again all original art and character designs are by Giuseppe Lama

#goose willed it and here is my Neverafter OC #ty brennan for no massive changes in the world lore today #i was told this story by my mum who learnt it from hers who learnt it from hers and so on #i had never actually read any of the written versions before researching the tale for my OC #also i learnt how to use photoshop for this #you don't understand i am obsessed with this season #I just realised I spelt crackernuts wrong well it’s to late now that’s the way it’s gonna have to be #I knew my bad spelling would haunt me wherever I go #neverafter oc #dimension 20 spoilers #neverafter #d20 spoilers #dimension 20 fanart #dimension 20 oc #also i don't speak scottish gaelic #so if ive got the pruncition wrong pls tell me:)#the curdled web #story of Kate Crackernuts #d20 neverafter #dimension 20 #neverafter spoilers #i put her subclass cus i like seeing it i know its not what the PCs have #og post

tagged by the beloveds @leviiackrman & @risingsh0t to make some of my ocs in these three picrews – thank you both so much, this was so fun and i live for symbolism and motifs! ♡

🐍 diana wesker (resident evil) / 🌻 mehlia tabris (dragon age) 🚁 dani haines (resident evil) / 🐺 ithrenil (the elder scrolls) 👑 reina (saints row) / 🪦 tereza ionescu (resident evil)

#tag games.#oc: diana #oc: mehlia #oc: dani #oc: ithrenil #oc: reina #oc: tereza #essays in the tags time because diana's has a lot of symbolism so i'm so sorry!!! and i love that hers is the most simplistic looking too #so. diana. there's a lot to unpack here so strap in besties!!! i associate moon orchids with her and orchids in #general (as well as lilies) but first of all. moon being reflected in both moon orchids and pearls with her association with the goddess #diana (which was all on accident and i noticed all similar associations after the fact). it's ironic to me that both white orchids and #pearls symbolise peace and purity amongst other things... but when we're looking at all colours of orchids there's femininity/elegance/#pride/sexuality/virility/reverence/beauty/new beginning etc. and with pearls. so. her engagement ring was actually a pearl set between two #diamonds. and she's almost always wearing pearl studs. and if she's dressing up she'll wear necklaces or bracelets also. but pearls too #have a few things in common with orchids when it comes to symbolism but then on top of that there's wisdom/wealth/integrity/commitment etc.#omg i have a lot just for diana. okay. so behind the orchid. idk what plant is called but imagine green herb from lore okay? so healing and #life. then the charred branches. death and decay. tie that in with the snake and you have the associations with ouroboros and the concept #of life death and rebirth. and i have always associated her with spring and renewal after the deaths in winter. you understand. then the #snake and frog are also just because she's a herpetologist :] okay mehlia. i'm not going to go on massive essays here i swear but #sunflowers and association with the sun and joy and happiness and just someone who has a very bright and cheerful personality. bees because #her name means honey and also she has honey blonde hair as well. dani. like a blooming barrel cactus because she's from arizona OR a #parodia cause her boyf carlos is from sa (possibly colombia or brazil. we don't know and those are the two i'm torn with). then was cheeky #and decided red herb like diana has the green herb. then ofc her motifs of butterflies and birds as well as clouds all because flying and #her being a pilot. but butterflies being symbols of transformation and hope as well as life and renewal. and with birds i mean in general #there's freedom but i think more of lovebirds and hummingbirds mainly. lovebirds obvious but hummingbirds being messengers of hope and #bringing healing and luck to people while also being associated with joy/endurance/restoration and a reminder to enjoy life :]#ithrenil and the moon. i've talked about this all a lot but they are a werewolf so just. you know all the symbolism with the moon and how #that correlates with werewolves and cycles!! okay reina. roses because her daughter's name is rosa and they are special to her. then halo #and angel wings because the saint of all saints. i just had to. tereza the yellow flowers are what donna used to cause people to have #hallucinations and the flies are ofc because she's around the daughters a lot in the castle. hitting limit so i have to be succinct here :(

kinda out of good art ideas at the moment (used up all my Flashes of Genius for the next month pretty much) so the next time i get really bored i might tryna draw the rwd crew as arknights characters with similar vibes bc VR-LA as ebenholz (sass, tragic backstory involves the death of a close friend with very gay undertones, magic comes from a very powerful magical entity they've... bonded with one way or another, funny dps capabilities) and dani as nian (genius artificer vs genius craftsman, Ship MenaceTM, deep down very scared of losing their (found) families) are like... screaming at me. also i think VR-LA deserves an absolutely massive cape and dani deserves some really short shorts

#asto speaks #rwd #finbar as lee maybe for the cooking and dad energy #although lee's a conman so that doesn't quite track #also cassimeer as dusk is *extremely* funny to me. genius artist but also asshole shut in neet #also rivalry with dani/nian #kyana im not sure. you don't really get characters that purehearted in ak #also my knowledge of ak lore actually isn't that comprehensive i mostly just gravitate towards the side stories that vibe w me #also i'm realising that 'vrla as ebenholz' implies mystra as the witch king which #well mother of magic vs most powerful caster in the world kinda tracks actually. mystra *significantly* nicer tho #also she just kinda hangs out for vrla to (drunk) text every once in a while instead of actually living in his brain. important distinction #rolling with difficulty #gonna crowdsource on this one. should i draw vrla in an absolutely massive cape #also i kinda wanna draw dani with whatever the fuck the sui siblings have going on with their arms #that painted on swirlies kinda look. it's *so* pretty

a really bleakly funny thing i have discovered and they have i think, mercifully dropped from elf lore, is how in second edition dnd the forgotten realms surface elves were established as having their word for their own race be ‘tel’quessir’ and everyone else gets to be like, ‘n’tel’quessir’

which is like fine, and then they actually define what that means and ‘tel’quessir’ means ‘people’ and ‘n’tel’quessir’ means not people and then they have a word for half-elves and the word means ALMOST PEOPLE and it’s SO BAD. IT’S SO BAD.

and as a result it comes off even more bonkers that the drow have a completely different set of words and have multiple different ways to express how xenophobic they are, and they still come off as more reasonable solely because they aren’t going around calling everyone who’s not a drow “non people” and expecting everyone to be cool with that

#its just so wild.#surface elves are just like oh well we're incredibly cool and sexy and great and also horrifyingly xenophobic #also we hate humans because they're OUTBREEDING US #and its like hm i think the people writing this lore had some massive issues actually
