someone on twitter ran a favorite ships poll for d20 and I love participating in democracy. Approx 17k of these were from me. Here’s some silly art I did of them because I love them and am trying to get better at drawing from references and them kissing makes me happy. And yes! I did make them married!

[ID: a digital drawing of caramelinda and lazuli sitting on their bed in their nightclothes. they're smiling lovingly at each other as lazuli performs magic with a glowing book on her lap. End ID]

The thought of who Caramelinda was before she lost Lazuli and became bitter, paranoid and cynical has haunted my every waking moment since I finished this season. Once upon a time she loved an archmage. Once upon a time she looked at the world with so much wonder that she married its incarnation and learned how make wonders herself. Once upon a time Caramelinda had not yet lost everything to war.

Image description: two images depicting Markus St. Vincent and Maggie from Escape the Bloodkeep respectively. Markus is depicted as a black man wearing a red captains coat over a frilly, v-necked shirt. He has short dreads ornamented with gold, along with a matching skull mask and multiple chains with the words "True King" and rubies ornamenting them. Maggie is depicted as a purple tiefling with massive horns and glowing red eyes. Her wavy black hair flows behind her as if blown by a strong wind, and pinkish red flames burn along the strands. She wears a red sweater, and a golden heart locket with matching earrings. End description.

hottest man in the realm of elna and zaul'nazh's biggest fumble since losing the crown bound to his soul.

Rewatched the portion of the acoc finale adventuring party where ally talks about their backup character and the quangle with Amanda Maillard and wooooow I feel like we would have gotten finale pvp if Liam had died. Amanda is sooooo ride or die for Caramelinda that she absolutely would have tried to take out Saccharina. She's so violent and quick to fight and difficult to reason with. Wow!!!!

Underrated d20 ship week prompt submission form

Hello everyone! Here is the submission form to suggest prompt for underrated d20 ship week! Copy and pasting the idea for this from the interst poll:

It will operate like a normal ship week, however you will be encouraged to use the prompts to make creations for any d20 ship you personally find underrated. It can be from any campaign, and unlike the last event, IH PCs are allowed to be included this time! The only rule would be that it can't be a ship that is obviously popular, like Figayda from fantasy for example.

Feel free to suggest any prompt you think will be nice! It can be vague, something like "flowers" or more complex if you wish! Prompts already used during underrated d20 month are allowed.

I will figure out a time to hold the event depending on how many suggestions I get

Spent a lot of my drive home from work today thinking about the ways Ruby is similar to Amethar. Obviously the loss of her sister, being the youngest.

But the thing I really thought about was how Ruby was set up to be taking Lazuli's path, but Ruby never shows much interest in magic. Where it comes from, what it can do. She learns find familiar and uses fog cloud but she's not motivated to bring the strength of magic back to Candia. Jet is absolutely on board. This non-magical martial fighter Jet has these banned books and wants to know magic's place in the world and arcane trickster Ruby is totally content to use the bit of magic she has and never share it with her people. This cultivated resource that is what allows tiny Candia to stand a chance and she doesn't have any interest in spreading it.

She's just like Amethar. He takes the cola that Lazuli made for him, he takes the magic weapon, but he doesn't foster candian magic for his 20 years on the throne. He doesn't pick up Lazuli's research or find someone who can. He lets all of that knowledge, all of that effort languish for 20 years.

Theo gives an impassioned speech about how Lazuli sacrificed herself for the future of candian magic and Ruby isn't inspired by that. She doesn't say "I will pick up my aunt's work." she says "I don't want to read a book." She's just like Amethar. She takes the twizzling blade and she takes Yak and she takes sourscratch and is content to leave it there. To not live out her aunt's vision. To use mage hand to do trapeze tricks and to let candian magic end with her.

A Crown of Candy, you're just so rich and juicy and I can't stop thinking about you.

rewatched episodes 13, 14, & 15 of acoc this weekend because i'm a sick freak (family ties, the ice cream temple, and then prep for the finale.) and there's this combo of the family continuing to push away Saccharina, Gooey telling her that she has a family that has chosen her, and then Saccharina tells Theo that Cinnamon is the first being who has ever loved her just for existing.

been thinking a lot about how sad that is and also how much that might hurt Gooey's feelings. Gooey is so ride or die for Saccharina, she's absolutely willing to do anything for Saccharina and Gooey's kind of invisible to her. It makes me soooo curious what their relationship started as. it feels inevitable to me that they were in love once and it ended, but how? why? does one of them still carry a torch for the other? have they both moved on? honestly? both of them seen emotionally unavailable & repressed and unable to have conversations about their feelings. they also both read as tops to me. was that an incompatibility? god i would read a whole novel just about the doomed sapphic love story of gooey and saccharina. a lost unknown princess and her right hand. rending my garments. they're so beautiful and sad to me.

Image description: Gooey from A Crown of Candy, accompanied by three kids, all rendered in a monochrome pink. Two of them are standing on the ground, a girl with syrup hair leaning into her side and clutching her shirt, one an anthropomorphic kitty excitedly showing her a drawing. The third is has a swirled peppermint pattern and a long hat with a cottonball on the end, and is placing a flower crown on her head. Gooey's other hand is resting on top of the girl clutching her shirt, and she smiles fondly down at the little girl. End description.

I just think she should get a chocolate chicken moment too.

(everyone go read gooey goes to kindergarten NOWWWW‼️)

your father does not care to remain unfallen. what does that do to you?

Got a commission from @eldritchsmite and when I opened my email I ripped my shirt in half in victory over it. You too could pay Kev to draw you a mean strong lady wrestling human Theobald. I know he draws other things too, but why bother when this is the perfect thing?

I really wanted to draw Sir Amanda and Saccharina together. I am feeding my own little brain worms.

In this AU (I talked about it first in another post, you can search the squire saccharina au tag on my blog) Saccharina becomes Sir Amanda's squire and part of the royal guard later on. And when Caramelinda finds out about her magic she starts teaching her in secret what she knows and giving her Lazuli's journals because she wants to cling onto the memory of her lost wife.
