#draphs

[goldenteaset]

I love GBF's Draphs so much. There's something wonderful about a guy built like an ox with horns to match being able to lift a cart one-handed, and an equally bovine-like woman doing the same thing with (seemingly) less of the strength and half the size. And their size discrepancy means that any place made by a Draph will be innately accommodating to everyone. Their strength has both been a boon and a burden over the centuries, and every Draph we meet deals with that differently. They tend to have one child, and support them with an admirable unconditionalness.

Also, they drink like fishes but on the whole have incredibly highbrow tastes in wine, so there's innate tension in What Wine To Bring As Trade For Forging This Weapon. Presumably 99% of the metalwork we see was done by Draphs, whether it's weapons or the delicate, barely-visible chain of a necklace. That's quite the variety!

This isn't even getting into the plain ol' aesthetic appeal, from the obvious (boobs!) to the more subtle and cute (kid Draphs with their tiny horn stubs!). Our Style, Our Substance only made the aesthetics even better, with specific fashion for them: buttons in the back, stretchy collars, horn care and decorations? It's worldbuilding heaven. Draphs are great. ;v;

In the heart of New York, between the shadows and the sewers, mysterious creatures, four brothers, four mutant ninja turtles, patrolled the streets of the city, fighting crime and keeping their home safe. Among them was Raphael, the fierce and passionate turtle who had captured your heart.

You met in your childhood. Since you were a child you had always been an extremely curious child and this extreme curiosity of yours led you to discover a hidden entrance that led directly to the city's sewers. However, failing to satisfy your curiosity, you had decided to walk the long and dark tunnel that had presented itself in front of you and at the end of the journey you had come across the four brothers.

Right from the start you had a very strong bond with all four of them but in particular you always had a greater sympathy for the red turtle, Raphael.

Your relationship with Raphael had blossomed over the years and you two were inseparable. You understood each other like no one else could, sharing laughs, secrets and the unique challenges of your lives. Yet as the days passed, Raphael's normally confident demeanor began to falter.

One evening, while you and Raphael were training together in the den, his movements were abrupt and aggressive. His eyes kept darting towards the entrance, as if waiting for someone. Finally, he dropped his weapon and turned to face you, a rare vulnerability in his expression.

"Hey, Y/n, can we talk?" he asked, his voice uncharacteristically uncertain.

You nodded, concerned. "Of course, Raph. What do you have in mind?"

Raphael hesitated, nervously tapping his green fingers on his thigh. "It's about Casey."

Your heart skipped a beat. Casey Jones, your lifelong friend and confidant, has been a part of your life since childhood. "And he?"

Raphael sighed, pulling a hand through his red bandana. "I've... noticed how much time you've been spending with him lately. It's like you're always together."

You frowned, surprised by Raphael's sudden discomfort. "Raph, Casey and I have been friends forever. He's like a brother to me. It doesn't change how I feel about you."

Raphael's eyes darkened, his voice dropping to a low growl. "Yeah, well, it's just…I don't want to lose you, Y/n. You mean everything to me."

Your heart ached at her vulnerability. Moving closer, you put a hand on his cheek. "Raph, you won't lose me. Casey is from my family, but you are my partner, my love. No one can ever replace you."

Raphael's tension eased slightly, but his discomfort remained. "I know, but… sometimes I can't help but feel like I'm not enough."

You cupped his face, forcing him to look you in the eye. "Raph, you are more than enough. You are my hero, my rock. And I am yours, no matter what."

For a moment he seemed reassured and a small smile crept to the corners of his lips. Still, the concern in her eyes lingered and you knew it wasn't something that could be fixed in a single conversation.

The next few days were tense. Raphael's jealousy flared whenever he saw you and Casey together. She would have tried to hide it, but her agitation was palpable. The den felt stuffy and it seemed that an invisible barrier was forming between you.

One evening, as the sun sank below the horizon, you returned home a little later than normal, so Casey volunteered to give you a lift instead of letting you walk home alone in the dark. But just as you both walked into the house and put your stuff down out of the corner of your eye you saw a huge green figure climbing up onto the roof. At that point you decided to go up to the roof too and there you found Raphael standing on the roof, looking out over the city. You approached him carefully, giving him a moment to collect his thoughts before speaking.

“What are you doing at his house? And why did you hitch a ride with him?” he started questioning in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Raph, we need to talk about this, this isn't good for you or me" you said softly.

He sighed, leaning against the edge of the roof. "I know, Y/n. It's just…I can't get rid of this feeling."

You approached, your presence was a reassuring warmth at his side. "Raphael, what if I tell you something that might help you?"

He looked at you, his eyes a mixture of curiosity and caution. "What?"

Taking a deep breath, you spoke the words you had kept hidden. "Casey and I are actually brothers."

His eyes widened in shock, his expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion. "What? How... how is that possible?"

You explained the situation, that you don't have a good relationship with your parents and that's why you went to live with him. "We've known each other a long time Raph and you know you're the person I love most in the world."

Raphael's eyes searched yours, his emotions a tumultuous storm. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

You shrugged, a sad smile curling your lips. "I didn't think it mattered. Casey and I have always been close but as much as we are brothers it seems more like a friendship but still you should know that you are the one holding my heart."

Raphael let out a sigh he hadn't realized he was holding, his shoulders relaxing as if a weight had been lifted. "I was so damn jealous, Y/n. I thought I was losing you."

You take his hand, intertwining your fingers with his. "Raph, you are everything to me. No secrets or stories can change that. We are connected and nothing can ever change that."

He has you in a tight embrace, his grip almost desperate. "I love you, Y/n. I'm sorry I doubted us."

You hugged him back, feeling his heartbeat against yours. "I love you too, Raphael. And I'm happy that we are stronger than any doubt or fear."

As the night sky stretched above you, city lights twinkled in the distance, you held each other close. Your love, once tested by jealousy and insecurity, had emerged even stronger, a bond that nothing could break.

Excuse me if it's a very short text but I'm really exhausted, physically and mentally.

I finished writing at 3:10 am and it's been a week since I've been going to sleep very late and I wake up very early.

These last three days I went to sleep at 6:00 am.

I hope you still like it ♡

The last thing I finished for artfight, Buko the Draph for @m0ntygee!!

I just wanted to draw horns and boobs. Also as I told him when I finished this, Buko's piña looks so comfy. I like it a lot.

Here's to a good artfight next year~

Belial beat Faa in a sumo match in the latest Grand Blues

Oh my god wait a minute--

WAIT A MINUTE--

“Oh, that’s very unfortunate.” Belial struts into the makeshift ring and crouches, lifting his leg to heights Camomile can only dream of. “I have [muscle and skill] in spades, and you made my girlfriend cry.” His voice descends into a predatory growl. “So hurry up and run a train on me already. Dosukoi!”

Between this and Sir Kyukichi the God Rabbit Summon, why is my (admittedly Lucilius-less and Belial/Cammy focused) fic "Unadulterated Amour" (please heed the rating and tags) becoming semi-canon?! XD

More importantly, what's Belial doing headlining Grand Blues? Dare I dream that it Means Something...?

!! Oh, it's to promote the adorable and cool Lucilius Manatura! ;v; Understandable, carry on. (Still excited though, what an amazing coincidence)

Don't know anything about GBF, but I'm guessing that's where the brown hair eyes closed horns and ears girl comes from.

Anyways you've been reblogging her and it's doing things to me.

Thanks, I think.

Galleon does tend to have that effect on people. I think hearing her peculiar manner of speech would do even more things to you, so you should check out some of her dialogue in the base game. GBF is indeed where she comes from, of course.

You're welcome, and I shall continue to reblog her.

Gran Blue Fantasy Conlangs

So, I have been playing around with this idea of creating a set of conlangs inspired by each of the species mentioned in the GranBlue series. I will admit that I am not familiar with the series as a whole, and in fact have only seen enough of it to be interested and inspired to undertake this project. (alongside others of a similar nature)

I will be taking artistic liberties when creating these languages. it's just more fun for me that way. all that said let me give the quick-and-dirty rundown of what I have in mind:

Draph:

an unironic set of words relating to different types of breasts (including a distinction between female mammary and large male pectorals) and breast coverings. If the designers want to make that feature prevalent, then I will take that ball and run with it to the best of my ability.

(like another project of mine) horns will be referenced a lot. especially in metaphors.

Erune:

something about tails.

Harvin:

words that group creatures bigger or smaller than themselves. with humans, Draphs, and Elerunes included in the former category.

Human:

TBD

Primal:

In my head canon, a way of speaking that developed so that they, the servants, can communicate with each other outside of their masters' direct instruction. even after the Astrals disappear they continue to use this language of theirs as a way of reinforcing their bonds in their shared predicament, and keep unwanted ears from listening in.

Astral:

something eldritch and mind bending. like Babelingua's Seraphim.

This is all I got so far. take care and till next time... ;)
