I now have five commissions I’m waiting on >:)

Another outfit design for Merlin, another drawing of the babies™️, character designs for Ganieda and Vivian (finally!!!), and now, Merlin with his claymore! (He has one now.) I’m also in a queue for art of their first meeting!

Money doesn’t buy happiness? That’s a lie lmao. I’m currently evilly cackling in my mind at the influx of art I’m going to eventually get.

New Merlin lore!!!

First off, I’m retconning his schizophrenia for several reasons:

I somehow keep forgetting about it. (It doesn’t really seem like a permanent trait, I guess? Not sure how to explain it, but it doesn’t cement itself in my head like Charlie’s autism.)

I haven’t really written anything about him with it yet? Besides hearing voices, and I was never sure how accurate that is, because I didn’t want to just do it for whump/angst/plot purposes.

I also don’t want to mix up magical and mundane too much, and incorporating real magic occurrences vs. hallucinations might be harder than I thought.

I was on the fence about it for a few days, and I felt bad about doing it because my brain said I’m a coward; retconning mental illness is bad; things like that. I also felt like people would mock me and/or get mad at me, so I didn’t tell anyone at first.

I kind of thought it might be better if I gave him a different disability, but I wasn’t sure what to do at first.

But then I remembered a thought I’ve had before, even back when I was writing Emerald Embers! It was kind of a crack idea, so it stayed in my head and I never yapped about it. 😌

This was way before @aroace-edward-elric’s hyperfixation on Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), and seeing an oc with a prosthetic arm and leg.

I think @fate-is-a-lie showing me her new Earthspark oc (who has a prosthetic arm) a few days ago made me remember it! It also could have been FMA 03 worming its way into my subconscious again. Both of you, how dare you /silly.

Merlin now has a prosthetic right leg!! (I originally imagined it as his left, but I chose that one to differentiate from Ed and the oc lol. @aroace-edward-elric pointed out that Hiccup also lost his left leg.)

His amputation is above the knee, and nearly a full limb loss like these photos.

He also still has anxiety, C-PTSD, and misophonia.

I already have some funny scenarios I’ve thought about: him, of course, going to sleep without the leg so he gets a break. He forgets to put it on when he wakes up sometimes… resulting in him falling on the floor if he can’t regain his balance fast enough. Charlie gets worried even though he reassures his baby that he’s fine.

Also him somehow breaking it, and nonchalantly being like: “Oh, I broke my leg. Again.”

Everyone freaks out until he says: “The prosthetic one...”

And if I ever write the Merlin crossover thing, somehow people end up talking about how most Merlins are rather skinny? TKN Merlin, who either starts leaning against a wall or conjures his crutches (which he uses to give his leg a break besides sleeping), answers: “I’d still win the thigh gap competition, I fear.”

Looks of confusion from people who don’t know

Makes sure he’s secure in his position before snapping his fingers, unhooking his leg with his magic

It falls to the floor with a thump. Everyone who doesn’t know starts freaking out as he laughs.

He’s a dad, and he makes dad jokes. Charlie’s enjoyment of them sometimes varies.

I got inspired by this TikTok ⬇️ lol:

He’d also do that.

“How’d you even lose it??” someone asks when he reveals it.

“Reason I have yet to figure out!” finger guns

Sometimes if he tries to kick a particularly strong door in, the leg kind of breaks. “Shit. Maybe I should’ve used the real one.”

“What?!”

He’ll have other comedic moments like these, but it’s equivalent to “he’s disabled, and it’s funny sometimes” instead of “being disabled = funny”.

It’s so easy to give him a prosthetic without needing new art beside a leg design, actually! Even with how much his design has changed, you wouldn’t know since his legs are always covered. Besides that, I can say he wears wide fitting pants to hide the leg since his outfit as a whole is flowy and loose lol.

Since he has bigger thighs from being fat, it wouldn’t match like the above shown second image.

I’m also getting a prosthetic for him designed already!! The first two are some of the references I sent Specter7art (on Reddit), and the third is a suggestion he had for Merlin’s foot! It’s going to be made of iron and mostly gray. :D I’ll post it here, with a link to this post, when it’s done!
