Dragan Aesfrost: Founder of A Mining Town (AU)

So I have been thinking more and more about Dragan Aesfrost and the potential he had if he wasn’t in a tactics/war game and instead was in more of a city builder/crafting simulator type game.

So Dragan starts off doing his research binges in the Aesfrosti archives.  He shows great expertise about all things mineral: metals, gemstones, salt, the works.  Some of his findings start angering some of the Aesfrosti network of Croneys because it’d benefit the common people more than rich and powerful and level the playing field.

It’s peacetime and Gustadolph really doesn’t want any conflict, especially not internally.  So instead the Archduke sends his cousin on what he believes to be a fool’s errand.  He sends him off to conduct his research on a relatively useless hunk of rock that was once an iron mine, but has since been stripped of anything useful.

Dragan sees this as a chance to get away from the Duchy anyways and accepts his cousin’s “generosity.” At first he’s traveling alone, but over time he meets other like-minded scholars of Aesfrost who also had their studies undervalued, and wanderers who don’t have any other home to go to.

They somehow build a village on the relatively barren turf.  It’s nothing short of a miracle when they can actually grow hardy crops like carrots and potatoes.

Testing out his new explosive on the depleted iron mountain, Dragan discovers a mineral vein that was previously untouched by any human hands.

This is where the player character comes in.  They are one of the villagers that was there when Dragan announced his discovery, and they agree to help extract the different minerals and tap into the rest of the peoples’ expertise on what they should craft. 

Over time, as the player character finds more raw materials, has more crafts made, and they see the city grow and prosper, with more houses and buildings going up.  Between their many jobs they speak with Dragan and learn all about him, his family, and why he decided to take the risk and build something completely on his own from the ground up.  How he wanted to show what true merit looks like.  And now he has made something no one can take away from him.

Although he’s worked very hard to make something out of nothing, Dragan still feels like something is missing.  That something are his kin who still think fondly of him: his father Svarog (who is still stuck watching Twinsgate) and Frederica (who has just been married to Serenoa of House Wolffort.)  While he knows they have their own lives, he wishes to see them in-person, after being apart for so long.

The player’s last task is to deliver an invitation to each of them for a family reunion.   The next few days are spent waiting, where preparations of food, drinks and music must be ready for the guests’ arrival.

On the promised day, Svarog, Serenoa, Frederica, and their respective retinues arrive.  The atmosphere is warm, the feeling joyful, and the music, the best any of them have ever heard.

Dragan has a little too much to drink at the celebration, and acts a bit more forward as a result, praising Frederica for “landing such a good catch” in Serenoa and proudly claiming the future belongs to “all of us, standing here.”  He rambles further, but soon comes to sincerely thank all the hardworking people of his new town.  He hopes it will continue to thrive as they work together.  Everyone shares a toast to the future, hopeful that it will be a bright one.

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Look I am an utter bitch for the trope of characters almost meeting before the events of BG3. Like a wizard Tav being in the same library as Gale. A criminal Tav operating around the same sketchy warehouses and halfway houses Astarion frequented. Karlach guarding Gortash as they walk through a neighborhood an Urchin Tav lived in. Maybe they made eye contact, maybe they didn’t. Either way fate wasn’t ready for them to collide just yet.

"She's Gone"

This bad boy was started on the third of November, and finished on the seventh. In total, there are thirty panels (all of which were drawn separately).

A good chunk of N's dialogue near the end came to me after I did some improv to figure out what he should say. I have since dubbed it "N's Failure Monologue."

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.
