Having a sickass art idea that haunts your every waking moment but lacking the talent to fully idealize it in your exact vision

As soon as the first snow began, my love for Thranduil was revived and is getting stronger every day! Will I be able to resist drawing it again? Is it possible not to fall on my knees in front of him?

Rennelui, also known as Vekadai by the people who worship her. She only looks like an elf but is actually an ancient dragon in disguise!

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

My fire genasi, Flux! He's a good-natured troublemaker and devoted to his brother, Zephyr, as they've been through a lot together. I'm excited that I might get the chance to play him soon!

Hooded figures be like, “I know a place” and take you to see their benefactor and someone knocks you out, then you’re sacrificed by some elf and now Tamriel is gone. You are someplace else, someplace far from the world you know. Someplace wrong.

WIP Friday

I was tagged by @acommonanomaly ! Thank you for kicking my butt in gear lol. I tag whoever else would like to participate!

Today is not Friday, but if I don’t get it done when inspiration strikes then I won’t get it done lol.

Starborn Tides follows Lyranis, a young Triton who feels drawn not to the sea, but to a distant star that calls to him in dreams. When he learns he was stolen from the sky as a child, he embarks on a journey across oceans and realms to find his true home. He discovers that home is not always where you’re from, but who you choose to share it with. Along the way, he finds the family he never knew he needed.

I started this for a DND campaign and may still use it but for now it’s making a cameo in the necro campaign I will be running as a beloved novel of one of the NPCs.

This scene is between Lyranis and his slow burn romantic interest Nymri. Nymri is closed off and secretive and for the first time since they started traveling together, Nymri is opening up to Lyranis.

———————————————————————-

Chapter: “The Song Between Stars”

The campfire had long since burned down to glowing embers, but neither Lyranis nor Nymri had moved. The others slept nearby, their breaths rising and falling like waves on the shore. Above them, the sky stretched endless and dark. Constellations flickered like ancient eyes upon them.

Lyranis sat with his knees drawn to his chest, his eyes fixed on a single star that pulsed faintly in the distance. He didn’t speak. He rarely did when he looked up like that.

Nymri, seated beside him with his back against a mossy log, broke the silence. His voice edged with curiosity. “You always stare at that one. Why?”

Lyranis hesitated. Then, quietly answered, “It sings to me.”

Nymri turned his head and fiddled with his staff, his expression unreadable. “What does it sing?”

Lyranis shrugged. “I don’t know the words. But I know it’s for me. Like a memory just out of reach.” He tilted his head, his sea-colored hair catching the starlight. “I think… I think it’s calling me home.”

Long moments passed. Nymri didn’t respond. Then, he exhaled slowly. “You’re not the only one who hears the stars,” he said. His voice was tight but without its usual sharpness. “It’s different for me. They don’t call me home. They show me things. Painful things. Futures where I fail. Where everyone I care for disappears.”

Lyranis looked over at him, startled. “You never told me that.”

Nymri offered a strained smile. “Not the sort of thing that makes people stick around, is it?”

Without thinking, Lyranis reached out, gently brushing his fingers against Nymri’s hand.

Nymri froze.

“I don’t care what the stars show you,” Lyranis said, soft but steady. “I’m not afraid of the future. Not if you’re in it with me.”

The silence that followed wasn’t heavy. It was like the sky above—quiet, alive, and filled with unspoken promise.

Nymri looked back up at the star Lyranis had been watching. “Then maybe,” he said, his voice barely audible, “I’ll stick around too.”

And for the first time in a long while, the stars felt less lonely.

Nerdanel by the sea.
