sorry I can't stop posting today but I was thinking about ephemera again and i just think it was sooooo cool of me... to take an unbelievably random NPC with no dialogue and say ok he had a daughter that he used for weird magic experiments and now she's part glintstone/silver tear.

i also decided Tenanye's parents are named Eglė (mother) and Žilvinas (father) after the myth of egle the serpent queen... the names seem to fit their vibes anyway and i like tying in the historical nods... plus she's vaguely supposed to be kind of eastern european/baltic so it also works for that 📝

[eolande]

when you and your man have both previously "made" and fallen in love with pseudo representations of your mothers / your Idea of a mother (in the form of pawns). normal daimon and tenanye bonding moments

[eolande]

also just realized cameo would probably look really good in rellana's armor and that'd also fit with her having carian vibes/working under ranni. so when i wake up from my nap I need to go play dress-up with her again

[eolande]

also a cool thing about leda and the needle knights is. clearly they were NOT CHARMED before leda went on a murder spree 😭💔 bc miquella was like OOPS and charmed her after to pacify her. so my point is there was a whole devoted troop of knights loyal to miquella WITHOUT BEING CHARMED INTO IT!!!

[eolande]

just had a genius idea for an elden ring oc who's an ex-needle knight who either left before leda killed the rest or managed to escape. and then wears a helmet to conceal her identity when she runs back into leda and they can have toxic yuri about it. the idea that this oc maybe left before leda killed the rest and thus was the one who triggered her paranoia and Belief that leda is the only trustworthy needle knight... MY VISION!!! but also her being a revenge-minded escapee... I CAN'T CHOOSE!!! looking into swan inspired names to play off leda's name...

i think vyke will be venatoria's father bc it'll give me an excuse to explore that side of frenzy too... as in staunch opposition and trauma at the hands of it. all my other ocs either have nothing to do with it ever or are cheren who Will become the lord of frenzied flame. vena does have a whole separate arc with siding with maliketh/gurranq that doesn't have much to do with her past, aside from sticking close to some aspects of farum azula/dragon culture... so there Is a thruline. but i also just really want to do some kind of oc x canon thing with maliketh. sorry for party rocking

need to practice so i can draw my vision for lansseax in like a florissax style. but in my vision she'd wear white with gold motifs and have long hair and kind of be golden order vicar amelia esque. but still with a beautiful skeksi-like dragon face ⬇️ something like a mix of these bc i love the shape of the ancient dragon's faces that kind of get lost with florissax's more beak-like snout

[eolande]

if I were to make an oc that was another child of the golden lineage. her name would be. Godiva. after all... who else is in the walking mausoleums... might as well make ocs... plus it hits that historical reference thing

FINALLY UPDATED my 2 dragon baby ocs... first is danya (danyssax), child of godwyn and fortissax... second is venatoria (ven-something-sseax... venasseax? with the a pronounced like aaah so ven-ah-see-axe... may make it something completely unrelated to her nickname) child of lansseax and ??? maybe vyke. she's kind of handsome like him... danya becomes allied with fia... venatoria becomes allied with gurranq... so they're cousins on opposite sides of a conflict </3... danya is technically Wedding Day's half brother... i used the same base face so they have similarities...

[eolande]

is anything better than this + "in the crucible where droplets gather, i wait" ...? no ...... <3

[eolande]

ELYSION.... TAP DANCE ON THAT HOE!!!!

[eolande]

i was gonna say i should probably rewrite that danya is godwyn and fortissax's child bc i'm so much more focused on Wedding Day but also i have had the thought that godwyn must've just had a bunch of babies and some of them he definitely cared less abt 😭😭 but also i think the issue could be that I PERSONALLY don't connect as much w/ danya so maybe i just need to redesign him. cause there's no way godwyn didn't have a bunch of babies. it's not too much to have 2 ocs that are both his children. but maybe i could imagine danya as a more active character if i liked the way he looked more LOL. so note 📝 to self to go back in and touch his looks up

[eolande]

uuuwaaaaaau

I've kind of turned daimon into my own oc and his own person separate from ashe but sometimes i'm curious abt the way ashe would inform his personality/am just generally curious and want to think more abt ashe sometimes... I don't think I'd ever ship ashe and tenanye (especially considering olra... Although. that's not the best relationship either) but in my head the Motherless vibes of bitterblack are something that calls out to anye and something she bonds with the isle itself and also kind of daimon abt... but that comes straight from ashe... but i do think it's bc the entire plot and location is steeped in that pseudo-oedipus complex As Part Of The Metaphor of the toxicity and horror of it... basically I want to think more abt ashe and daimon and also anye

[eolande]

I MISS GODWYN AGAIN (thought about Wedding Day) godddd i'd love to commission art of them someday so badly...
