I love the way your characters feel like real people. They have these little expressions and stances and the way they place their hands that make me feel like they are there with their own experience of the world. Also Mazeh'a is very gorgeous and I love him. <3

I am deceased

It's extremely gratifying that all their unique expressions of personhood are noticed by others! I put a lot of effort into posing their entire bodies carefully to display how they approach the world <33

Mazeh'a is very gorgeous and he's definitely preening right now lmao

Top quality character design and really engaging and well-considered backstories.

Double hit to my heart!! Thank you so much!

All of my characters have backstories that are deeply rooted in the world they live in, and they all deal with differing relationships to grief, activism, and resilience in a rapidly changing world. I care a lot about who they are as people and why they do the things they do (probably a little too seriously sometimes tbh), so this makes me feel like kicking my feet in joy <33

I adore that Ravnur has this quiet strength to him, like you get the sense that there is so much more behind his calm stoicism. I also love how he represents nature in such a unique way!

asfgsdlkdsl thank youuuuu <3

It's a quiet strength for sure! His stoicism, perhaps even the gentle demeanour when he's taking care of someone, sometimes gives people the impression that he's just super chill. But he actually feels pretty deeply all the time, and this is the main way he's learned to take care of himself without drowning.

And yay, I'm glad you like his multi-faceted connection to nature! His duty to protect nature and all things in it, his associations with almost opposing natural elements, it being his one and only place of solace-- all of it is important in understanding him and it feels like you see him >w<

I really appreciate how beautiful and ethereal Ravnur is, you did a good job making them that way <3

Thank you so much!! This makes me super happy to read since that's intentional on my part. He has the stature and disposition of a stag, or perhaps even a large raven-- something older, majestic, and ethereal when seen. Specifically in the way that makes you pause in appreciation and understand in your bones that it will eff you up if you test it :D

:: Happy Pride! ::

Mazeh'a (he/him or they/them) is my Moonkeeper mage-academic. Aske (he/him or they/them) is my Veena former-Ishgardian-nobility-turned-runaway machinist, who is also currently figuring himself out. Both identify under the nonbinary umbrella <3

My other Pride-themed character posts are here (Lone Snowdrop) and here (Ravnur and Tova).

Oh, Great Tree,

Envelop me in your Shroud,

Speak to me softly

And tell me it’s okay

To be lost here

Oh, Great Tree,

My burdens aren’t heavy,

But I wish they weren’t mine

Maybe the elementals

Will know a way too

Great Tree, forgive my pleas,

My body may be sturdy,

But my spirit still does falter,

Especially since I know not

What the path forward is

I ask, Great Tree,

For your blessings,

Not to cure me of my afflictions

But to grant me the power

To heal them on my own

[ravandfriendsxiv]

actually no, we're not "dating". we're bound together for infinity. like the stars. so, fuck you, actually.

your knight

(or No The Zelenia Brainworms Have Not Taken Their Leave Yet)

because you know did your best even when it wasn't enough to save her, you swore to protect her and ensure she lives because her life is more important than your own, you hold yourself to an impossible standard because it's better that you take the slings and arrows of ignominy if it gives her purpose, your own self is nothing in comparison because your purpose is her and even when you can see naught else in the darkness that's all you need...right?

and that purpose, that devotion, is what you'll be remembered for, right?

[ravandfriendsxiv]

how to summon me, apparently. come closer. take me with you in seal rock and onsal

of course, a silly recreation of this:

I had so many fun plans this weekend and instead spent much of it knocked tf out in bed / on the couch due to intense weather-related pressure shifts. I managed 1 (one) outing a day and started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I couldn't sit up at my desk long enough to look at Ravnur for more than 10 minutes at a time. Sad. Now the weekday's started and it feels like I didn't get a weekend at all lol
