OOPS! ALL ANONS

THESE ARE 15$ USD EACH!

TOS and Purchase Links Under cut! I will not be updating these to reflect their sold status, you’ll just have to check the link. They’ll show as sold out if they’re sold out.

REMINDER. FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS, YOU MAY NOT PURCHASE MORE THAN 2 DESIGNS TOTAL. That includes for yourself AND others. Other people may not buy you designs to gift to you if you're buying for yourself either!! Time posting: [April 21st, 2024 at 12pm EDT]. You can come back for more if you want tomorrow!

TOS

In the interest of fairness, given how fast these go sometimes: FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS, YOU MAY NOT PURCHASE MORE THAN 2 DESIGNS TOTAL. That includes for yourself AND others. Other people may not buy you designs to gift to you if you're buying for yourself either!! Time posting: [4/21/24 at 12pm edt]. You can come back for more if you want tomorrow!

You MAY change the design/species of any design i've made after youve bought it, but you must leave credit with INDIG0TEA for the design, and the design itself must be recognizable.

Gender/sex/etc is ultimately up to the buyer.

You may NOT resell the design for more than you paid for it, unless it comes with extra art either made by you (listed for your current or historical  commission rates), or commissioned by you. Gift art/free art does not count towards the value of any design I make, ever.  Additionally: You may not ever ask for, recieve, or offer full resale plus non-currency add ons (such as, but not limited to: art, characters, merchandise, games, game currency, etc.). Yes, even if the offer as couched as "free art/commission/character". Partial resale may be negotiated only for designs whose original buying price was 30 or more dollars USD, and split dollar amount may be for no less than 2/3 of the list price to prevent people trying to workaround this TOS to encourage other people to accept their offers. (For example: Partial resale on a 30$ design may be a maximum of 20$ partial + non-currency add on.) This is to prevent overoffering/artificially inflating resale value. I am willing to make exceptions to this clause, but you will have to speak to me directly to ensure my TOS is being respected.

If the design is gifted/traded at any point, all financial value up to that point is lost and it may not be resold until further art is made/commissioned for it.

You may not EVER feed ANY of my art into an AI interface of ANY kind.​​​​​​​​

If you resell, trade, or gift this design, please inform me that it has been traded/resold/gifted so that I may update the TOS to reflect that and so future buyers cannot be scammed.

You may not resell, gift, or trade this design (or any of my designs) to anyone on my blacklist, which is linked below for your convenience. Doing so will result in immediate  blacklisting/blocking of your accounts.

You may not ever edit the original artwork(s).

You may not repost the original artwork to deviantart, instagram, or other social media/portfolio sites.

You may not use this design for the creation of license-able media such as (but is not limited to): books, animated shorts/shows, Vtuber/twitch streamer  sonas, ��comics/webcomics, and video games (free or otherwise). If you  would like to use this design in anything like this, we can negotiate a one time licensing fee which covers use in all of the above. This can be anywhere form an additional 150-500$ depending on your intended use.

You are allowed to store it in your deviantart sta.sh, post it to tumblr profiles, or upload it to websites like toyhou.se with proper credit.

However, you may not reupload to toyhou.se, to keep the ownership log intact, and to keep the original tos consistent.

For my personal comfort, you may not delete original listings from toyhou.seand resell it separately. This is again to keep the ownership log intact, and to keep the original tos consistent. If the person you wish to resell it to does not have a toyhou.se, I have plenty of invite codes I can give out as necessary.

Please credit to INDIG0TEA the first time you post art of them to websites other than toyhou.se 

Violation  of many of these terms will result in permanent blacklisting/banning  from buying or owning designs by me in the future.

Uriel Preston: And other stuff

Got inspired by @skenisasleb to make a few outfits for Uriel, a south park oc of mine, and a few episodes for him too! ( They are just the top third of the outfit, sorry! And btw, the quotation marks are names of episodes. Spoilers for post covid and return of covid)

1-"Pirrup your dukes": (this was when pip was alive) Upset that a kind boy like Pip would be tossed around with no remorse, Uriel decides to train him on some self defense techniques. Despite the genuine goodness of the former, Pip decides to us this training and beat his bullies to a pulp, and Uriel has to stop his friend before things get way out of hand.

2-"Coke flavored fish": When Uriel's parents, Coral and Marco, get back from a more than 20 year monster hunt from their jobs, they gotta make up the time that they couldn't spend with their son. To kill 3 birds with one stone, as they find out his adopted sis is a monster (so they gotta see if she's worth taking care of) and they have to hunt for a beast in a large area of water, the parents decide for a fishing trip. Plot A would be that Uriel fishes with, questionable bait, and plot B would center around Coral's Tension with Trixie, and the shenanigans that follow.

3-"What's best for her": Meeting an exchange student named Yentl, (This takes place before the first future of post covid) he's head over heels as he wishes no only to complete a to-do list from his far-off sis, but also to befriend someone new. However, Uriel is in tough competition with Cartman and is gonna have to duke it out for love( Using gifts of course), but looses at the end when Yentl wants to be Cartman's girlfriend due to her concern that Uriel is going ill from wasting so much energy on trying to please her.

4- Leroy Redhood: His Stick of truth sona. He's an old tavern keeper who wants to unite all creatures of Zaron. His place is where other species can mingle and interact with each other, but is restricted of violence against others inside (There will always be those annoying loopholes). 3 of these customers decide to stay to help with the tavern, and this is where his protective instincts shine (Calling the three his kids and other stuff). You dare hurt one of kids? Well get ready to feel figurative hell! He carries a basket with a spike on the bottom to double as a shield.

5- HoudiNick: In the day? Just an ordinary apathetic but still caring Fashionista, giving customers only the best of fabrics and materials to make a high grade superhero costume. At Night? A ruthless motherfucker that shows no mercy, has an endgame of blowing up earth, and burned his sister once( That was the most extreme instance of sibling wars with Trixie). The reason for turning evil was because he gave up trying to unite both franchises, and turned to the darkness, wreaking as much havoc as possible by trying to get as many secrets the heroes have and leak them to the entire town. His weapons are his trusty double-headed silver spear and his hat of infinity that stores bombs and other interesting stuff. To get him, you have to listen to every single conversation he has. You get limited amounts of dialogue at first, but he will open up to you as the game goes on, deciding to officially join you after he hears news of both franchises reuniting( But not before you defeat him in a battle, the mechanic being that he empty or even use your ultimate meter for his own ultimate when he can).

6- Post Covid(Original Timeline): In the original timeline, with his sister stuck in Canada, Uriel tried to get a list done of "Things to do when your sis is away," the only thing that remains incomplete was getting a girlfriend( Which was Yentl, but they are still good friends). The future sees Uriel as a Butler to Kenny, as he gave him a job of being a butler when almost all jobs got automated by robots. When Kenny dies, the will tells him to help out the other boys when he can. However, Cartman uses the will to his advantage, and makes him steal the machine to use it 'For the greater good( Which is to kill Kyle in hopes to stop this mess.)' Once Uriel finds out the true plan, he pulls out his double sided spear when Cartman fistfights Kyle to stop the two, only to have to put down the weapon when Yentl exclaims her disbelief on how Cartman used to be, and how he is now. (I'll do the altered future Uriel in another post)

I think I started this a week ago, but kept postponing it cause I was lazy. If you want more Info about Uriel and my ocs, don't be afraid to ask.

Spidersona! (See end for note)

This is one of my spider-sona ideas I had! This is Irish Spider! They have the same energy as Pavi,and their spider suit is based off the Irish Flag colors. It’s basic spidey design,but I might draw it the way I like it but for now this would be the launch/first suit version! Their name is Sean Conners,and their the one and only Spider-Man in their dimension. Their a year older than Spider Punk. He has autism, but that never stopped him from doing what he loves! Dimension 2001623 (2016 for short) is where he’s from. Similar to our dimension but only 7 years behind. Same stuff happened to his dimension that happened to ours. He was bitten by a radioactive spider,the spicies was a jumping spider after he fell into its cage on a field trip. He looks up to Peter as a cool uncle, mayday as an honorary god niece (let him have this he doesn’t see his niece) looks up to Jess as a second mother,and surprisingly he considers his boss,Miguel,as his friend (despite people telling him Miguel isn’t friendly but he doesn’t care and joins Peter and Mayday to bother him,And Miguel tolerates it because he knows what it’s like to be somewhere that makes you feel alone,he and the kid both have parents that make them miserable). He goes to Miles for art advice and loves to draw (he saw the train station Memorial Miles did and was awestruck),Gwen for venting,Hobie to get leather jackets, Pavi for some jokes and go on a swing,and Noir to play detective,Lyla for random questions,and they all agree that they make an honorary spider family for him. He does his best to try to save his friends and family from danger and they save him when he gets overwhelmed and in serious danger in return. His nicknames for them are as follows: Beeter (Peter B),Spider Ma (Jess),ButterfLyla( Lyla),Holmes(Noir),Spike (Hobbie),Cha-Chai(Pavi),Guin(Gwen),Flower(miles) and CatZilla(Miguel). Instead of New York,he protects New Jersey. After he lost his friend in an accident and his Pop Pop and grandmother to an illness,he vowed to protect people even from being sick!

Note: Longest post so far haha! Yeah my spidersona is a little self insert but that’s what sonas are! Now the pic is from a game that’s called “ Ultimate Spider-Man Sona Maker” or something like that and I don’t really recommend it (it’s cool but it always stops and plays ads and exits the game,hell the audio still played when I opened this and had to edit it and turn my phone off!)

I’ll draw my sona when I don’t have creative art block (and when I want to) in the future. Hope you enjoy the lore of my sona, and mabe he could meet your spider sonas mabe? Might make another post with the same pic and make a list of likes/dislikes ect! (Also if you read my bio in my header I have autism so I made him like me cause like I said self insert sorta!)

OC-TOBER DAY 1: Favourite Oc

[prompt list here!]

i debated LONG about who to put here, and if im gonna be real, i spent every moment up until literally today planning to draw fig here. but once i really thought about it... tick wins. always

bugs my FAVOURITE freak, designed based on the culmination of several of my favourite characters, my newfound (at the time) interest in steampunk culture and time travel stories, finally coming together when the song the ghost finally made the idea for her culminate in my mind. i had no idea what i was in for as i designed this fool back in 2021

and now theyre one of my main sonas despite being nothing like me, the personal manifestation of the kind of characters in media im drawn to, have one of my longest character playlists, have a mostly unwritten backstory and themes that i dont even TALK about and are rapidly getting closer to passing into my top three most drawn ocs, basically only being beaten by my more self-representative sonas and also dune (because dune is an everlasting figure in my life).

theyre, uh... theyre important to me

they're like. my ultimate villain beast. a mortal turned deity, driven mad by the process of acension and isolation in a world where time did not flow normally, they will do whatever it takes in order to eliminate every version of bugself across every timeline - a futile task, but one they are so deeply commited to nothing will ever stop them.

also they ruin some other peoples lives but thats less important in their head.

i could say about a hundred other things about them here, because i could talk about tick forever, but ill call it here. and tell you to go look at bugs toyhouse profile for a little more detail on the above summary

[plaintoast]

kraken fursonas

this is NOT a list of what animals i think they would be!!

matty b - wolf. he has at least two sonas because furries got him real young, but his public sona is a pretty classic grey wolf - a pack animal, a little traditional, but well-loved and hard to deny. it's a little manufactured but it's not inauthentic.

ryan donato - coyote. essentially a dog with all the lovable qualities, but undeniably feral.

jordan eberle - lion. ebs did not put a lot of thought into his sona before he picked the king of the jungle and felt like hot shit until everyone made fun of what a cliche choice it was.

geekie - possum. it's kind of an ironic choice because he's such a hipster, but decided that a possum would be down to earth and kind of misunderstood.

yanni - weasel. on one hand he's always involved, gets himself into whatever he wants, has fun when it ends in a little scrap. on the other he likes that they're cute and that people who have weasels as pets are always obsessed with them.

canner - cattle dog. i had to think pretty hard about this one - originally wasn't going to go with a dog but ultimately had to admit that there is no other animal canner would choose. and he'd go with something smart and hard-working, but not something glamorous like a border collie.

daniel sprong - otter. i had decided this before i fell down a rabbit hole into what he was like before this year, and i love when i'm right. someone as sillygoofy and sincere as he is absolutely put the thought into it to come up with a sona off the beaten path. he likes those pictures of otters holding hands.

tanev - hyena. this just feels very natural to me, i almost can't explain it. they're energetic, yappy, ready to get down in the dirt and fight but having a blast the whole time.

tolvy - rat. there are multiple kinds of rat sonas and tolvy's is smart and persistent, adaptable, a little underrated. really loving under the right conditions. in most art his sona is wearing a tasteful sweatervest.

wenny - deer. it has to be something elegant, common but with a mythical quality. gentle but willing to fight. stubborn. i think there were a lot of good options for wenny and really thought for a while that he might be a bird - could still be convinced - but deer felt sturdier.

borgy - raccoon. goofy little trash boy!! cute af, fun, voted "least likely to keep is new years resolution" when he said he wanted to eat his vegetables. thieving babygirl and he knows it.

vince dunn - spider monkey. also has multiple fursonas because he's an eboy, but that's his main sona. it came to me in a vision that it was going to be a monkey and spider monkeys are the cutest, which is vital. it's a little freaky and a little sexual, which is also vital.

larsson - jaguar. listen, much like with canner, this was HARD. with the nickname big cat i had to really consider whether HE would consider himself a one or if it was something being thrust upon him. i had to study his feelings about the nickname but ultimately it became clear that his sona is definitely a big cat, just not one you'd immediately suspect.

Ultimate Sonas Challenge

Day 10 - Open Species

There’s a trend on the internet where people make an outline for a unique species and then you can create your version of it following their guidelines. They’re usually very customizable! Just be careful the species you find is actually an open species, as a lot of closed species do show up when you do a google search.

This one is a species that was designed for me by TheTruEgge for winning her sunlocke redraw contest!

Why I've been quiet on Tumblr and Discord

Hello guys, I feel like I owe an explanation on me being MIA for a while. It's a few things.

My mental health, which hasn't been the greatest this year if I'm being honest. It ultimately affected my productivity to work on things as well as my interests in certain things. I've had my ups, but I've had a lot of downs. I'll be okay though, I'm getting reevaluated in February.

In relation to my mental health, I stepped away from fandom spaces due to the increase in toxicity. I'm not talking about just the NiGHTS fandom, it's a lot of fandoms of things I like. I just want to make it clear that I've long gone past caring about shipping unless it's with my own characters, and I don't want to be labled within what I like within a certain fandom. No, I'm not a "proshipper" or an "anti-proshipper." Please don't call me those things.

I've also been quiet in the NiGHTS fandom because, if I'm being honest, it has been kind of ruined for me and my friends. I'm not naming anyone and no, it's not anyone who is well known or popular in the fandom. Please don't go after anyone. Basically, I made my NiGHTS discord as a smaller alternative for my friend who gets overwhelmed in big servers and help them meet other fans much easier. It's also just exciting to create a server for people to find and join (though we did find some creeps there but they've either left or been yeeted.) However, we had some trouble with a member who has made us, and other members, personally uncomfortable. From their disturbing headcanons and lusting over other's sonas to their inability to control their mental health (for lack of a more polite term), they've essentially made our server a less fun and enjoyable place to be and it actually made one of our mods leave. This left a bad taste in our mouths and while I do think about deleting the server, I've been told there's still some activity in there and I don't want to cut anyone off from each other. But It still makes me afraid to be in my own server and be in the fandom.

In much lighter events, I've also been focusing away from fandom because I want to work on my original projects and friends' projects, especially since I'm thinking about going back to school and see if I can get into the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Fanart can be fun, but I also want to go forward with my art and take it to another level.

I think that's about it. I still like NiGHTS and I owe the fandom a lot, but with the things listed above, I may not be as active as I'd like to be. I'm not dead, just going to be focusing on other things. If you want to see more of my art, my main Tumblr is where I occasionally post art @madiness-art. My discord is also Pomme Dork#8911 if you ever want to contact me there.

Maybe I'll revive myself, but in the meantime, take care everyone.

Full speed ahead

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. won an overwhelming majority of the votes during the May 2022 national elections. He won almost 59 percent of the total votes cast in a 10-way presidential race. But now that he has been sworn in as President, he becomes the president of all Filipinos and the leader who will face 100 percent of the problems our country is facing. I am absolutely certain that Bongbong is delighted to have the opportunity to serve our people again. But his assumption to office comes at a time when our country, and in fact, the world, is facing unimaginable challenges. The war in Ukraine, the US-China scuffles on trade and geopolitics, and the global food crisis have negatively affected our country particularly our economy. Locally, the continuing Covid-19 crisis, the impending food crisis, the plight of our education system, partisan political divisions, and more critically, our economic recovery after the pandemic wiped out all our gains in the past two decades, are weighing heavily on our ability to provide for a bright future for all Filipinos. ADVERTISEMENT Amid this backdrop, President Marcos, Jr. delivered his first State of the Nation Address last July 25, 2022 as mandated by the Philippine Constitution. I cannot imagine the tremendous pressure on the President both from his supporters, who have a long list of campaign promises they want to hear the plans for during the SONA, and from his political foes, who I am sure will dissect the SONA line by line in order to find political ammunition for their criticism of the president and his administration. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” This is his time. This is Bongbong’s opportunity to tell his supporters that they did not commit a mistake in supporting him and to tell his political enemies that this is what we can achieve together if he will be given a chance. His first SONA has demonstrated that President Marcos, Jr. is prepared for the tasks ahead. He was inside the plenary hall of the Batasang Pambansa more than five minutes before his scheduled speech. And when he started talking he went straight to the point. He did not mess around. Walang paligoy-ligoy si BBM. With machine gun-like speed, Bongbong demonstrated his excellent grasp of the problems we are facing by rattling off macroeconomic data and targets. He promised sound fiscal management, tax reform, public spending efficiency to enable our country to heal what he called as “economic scarring” and prepare our economy for future shocks. I also like the fact that his plan is more forward-looking by providing for a Philippine Development Plan for 2023 to 2028 designed to sustain our economic recovery even amid what he termed as “elevated uncertainty international environment.” ADVERTISEMENT In particular, the president mentioned a couple of things that I believe deserve applause. First, he committed to continue President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” program. His administration has placed as its target five to six percent of the GDP for infrastructure spending. Second, after mentioning that he will not declare anymore lockdowns, he stressed that his pandemic response plan will balance the need to foster the health of our people and the country’s economic recovery designed to strengthen our people’s livelihood. He added that his administration through DepEd Secretary Vice President Inday Sara Duterte will allow the resumption of face to face classes in our schools. Third, I also applaud his proposal to Congress to provide assistance to distressed enterprises. I have always said that MSMEs form the backbone of our economy. As such, small enterprises owned by Filipino entrepreneurs will also be at the front line of our economic recovery. ADVERTISEMENT There are other aspects of his plans that I found laudable. I plan to discuss them in my future columns even as the various executive departments unpack the nitty gritty of PBBMs agenda. I thought it was a very good speech. PBBM showed that he has a good grasp of the problems we face and, more importantly, that he has a plan to address these problems. “The task of the leader,” Henry Kissinger once said, “is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. Taken together with his inauguration speech and his initial decisions and pronouncements as president, I am confident that with Pres. Marcos, Jr. at the helm we are going to achieve the vision set out in his first SONA. Read Full News @ Manila Bulletin Read the full article

girl help im making indulgent self insert sonas and imagining them interacting with my favorite characters again

[tigerkirby215]

5e Sona, the Maven of the Strings build (League of Legends)

(Artwork by Shilin Huang. Made for Riot Games.)

(Shit meme by yours truly.)

Revealing my Champion Mastery just to say that I play a lot of Sona. Don’t flame me for playing Seraphine and Yuumi I swear to god, and I have no idea why Teemo is in my top 10 highest mastery champs ngl.

Anyways you have no idea how happy I am as a Sona main that my girl is now top tier. I came to League of Legends from Overwatch (yes really) and I used to main Lucio in OW along with some of the more “techy” characters like Symmetra and Torbjorn. (Came to OW from TF2 where I mained Engineer and Medic.) Sona was a natural fit for me as a champion who was both easy to play and very similar to Lucio. It also helps that I joined the Rift during the single most engaging meta to ever grace this game. I was kinda too shit to play Janna but the Ardent Censer meta is also why I have such a high mastery on Lulu tbh.

undefined

But enough about my history with League: Sona! Honestly when I think of an archetypical support Sona pops into my head a lot sooner than Soraka: a champion based on empowering their teammates in as many ways as possible with heals, shields, movement speed, and CC to hold the enemy team down. I’ve always loved playing her because she feels like much more of a macro oriented character than other supports, with team-wide support as opposed to keeping one person alive like Soraka or Yuumi or focusing on CC like Morgana and Nami.

I’m going to build most if not all the champions eventually but man I am happy to tackle Sona now. She’s always been on my mind as my main but it was pretty difficult to think of how to make her. I think this build is good enough though!

Wow that was much longer of an intro than I’m used to. You can really tell which champions I’m excited for lol.

GOALS

Everything in harmony - Sona boosts everyone on her team with her songs as they fill the air.

Triple time! - Sona’s ability to boost her whole team into a good position is always beneficial.

Crescendo! - Fun fact: Sona’s ultimate is canonically extremely painful as she forces you to contort your limbs against your will. Why is Sona needlessly macabre? Well remember that Riot also wrote Volibear as an Eldritch old god.

RACE

Sona is Human but if you want to be cool you can make her a Kalashtar for resistance to Psychic damage and advantage on Wisdom saves. Regardless we’re going to be making what’s known as a dollar store Kalashtar with Variant Human. Increase your Charisma by 1 as well as your Constitution because we kinda don’t need much else. You also get proficiency in one skill of your choice which will of course be Performance, and a language which you can pick as you fancy: you won’t be speaking it anyways lmfao.

That’s because “Only you can hear me summoner; what masterpiece shall we play today?” Grab the Telepathic feat to complete this dollar store Kalashtar package. Increase your Charisma score by 1 and get a 60 foot telepathy to speak while being mute. You also learn the Detect Thoughts spell and can cast it once without using a spell slot. "Did he want... four autographs? I don't understand."

ABILITY SCORES

15; CHARISMA - Charisma is tied to performance and all the other stuff a Demacian noblewoman is expected to be good at.

14; DEXTERITY - Something something medium armor; even if you wear a dress there’s no reason you can’t have some padding beneath it!

13; STRENGTH - Hey this isn’t something something medium armor!

12; CONSTITUTION - Sona may be squishy in League but I value not dying more than good skill checks honestly.

10; WISDOM - Speaking of not dying: Wisdom saves are more common, and Insight is more useful than most Intelligence skills.

8; INTELLIGENCE - We had to dump something so unfortunately Intelligence gets the short end of the stick. You may have studied under the illustrious Buvelle family but most of those lessons were music classes.

If you want a better stat array going 13 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 10 / 14 with Point Buy is perfectly viable, and if your DM is cool enough to let you multiclass without Strength then you’re more than welcome to dump it.

BACKGROUND

There’s two obvious backgrounds that fit Sona: the first is Entertainer for proficiency with Acrobatics and a skill of your choice (since we already took Performance lol.) You also get proficiency with Disguise Kits and your Etwahl! (That’s what Sona’s instrument is called btw.) Your background feature By Popular Demand allows you to play any stage once. "Some, just the once.” You can perform in exchange for a place to stay, and when you do so the local people will remember your wonderful performance!

But making an Entertainer Bard is kinda cliché, no? If you want to lean into Sona’s Demacian heritage go for the Noble background. This gives you proficiency with Persuasion and History as well as a gaming set of your choice: unfortunately Tellstones isn’t an option (unless your DM decides otherwise!) so a Dragonchess Set will do well enough. Oh and you get another language that you won’t speak: fun! Your Position of Privilege makes it easy for you to arrange meetings with other important people, and the commonfolk will be kind and cordial with you.

(Screenshot from the Tellstones: King’s Gambit trailer by Riot Games.)

I personally opted to go for Noble when making this build, but if you want to choose Entertainer go right ahead! Backgrounds don’t affect too much overall and it’s up to you (and your DM) to make your own Sona!

(Artwork from League of Legends Wild Rift. Made for Riot Games. RIOT PLEASE UPDATE MUSE SONA ON PC I’M BEGGING YOU!)

THE BUILD

LEVEL 1 - BARD 1

I mean what else did you expect? Bards get proficiency in three musical instruments of their choice: a Lyre is the closest you’ll get to Sona’s Etwahl, though a Dulcimer is also pretty close. I’d also recommend grabbing a Lute since most magical instruments come in Lute variety.

You also get proficiency in 3 skills of your choice like Perception to watch wards, Insight to watch people, and Athletics for a bit of Tenacity to break out of grapples. (As well as potentially grab some people yourself! Although Acrobatics is also perfectly fine for escaping grapples.)

As a Bard you can boost your ADC with Bardic Inspiration, letting them add a d6 to attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You have a number of these equal to your Charisma modifier and they come back after a Long Rest.

But of course the main reason to play a Bard is to do Demacian-banned Spellcasting! You learn two cantrips from the Bard list like Vicious Mockery for some diminuendo, making it harder for the enemy to hurt your allies while also cutting them down to size. (I don’t know if your DM will let you slap your Etwahl angrily and then point at them judgingly, but you may have to break your vow of silence every now and then.) You can also learn Prestidigitation for all sorts of general magic stuff that you really shouldn’t do in front of anyone important.

You of course also learn 4 Bard spells like Cure Wounds and Healing Word for the atypical healing spells, Dissonant Whispers for some Hymn of Valor damage, and Detect Magic which you’ll likely be expected to cast as the designated support. *Sigh* Always gotta buy wards.

LEVEL 2 - BARD 2

Second level Bards could be called a Jack of All Trades, as you get to add half your proficiency bonus to any skill you aren’t proficient in. This means even if your ability scores are bad the skills you don’t have proficiency in are still good enough! You also get Song of Rest, letting your allies recover an extra d6 of health during Short Rests. And if you have Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything  Magical Inspiration will let your allies add their Bardic Inspiration to the damage or healing of a spell they cast!

And finally you can learn another spell: against as the designated support you’re expected to take Identify.

LEVEL 3 - BARD 3

Third level Bards get Expertise in two skills: Performance is an obvious must and Persuasion would probably be good as well.

But more importantly you get to choose your Bardic College and if you want to both shield your allies and speed them up look no further than the College of Glamour! That’s because Mantle of Inspiration grants 5 temporary hitpoints to a number of creatures within 60 feet of you equal to your Charisma modifier (which can include yourself by the way!) Additionally those creatures can move up to their movement speed as a reaction without provoking opportunity attacks, making this a great tool to reposition an ally who’s caught in a dangerous position!

You’re also capable of creating an Enthralling Performance: if you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to inspire wonder in your audience. At the end of the performance you can choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, up to a maximum equal to your Charisma modifier. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you.

While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, and speaks glowingly of you to anyone who talks to them. They also hinder anyone who opposes you, although they avoid violence unless it was already inclined to fight for you. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour unless they take any damage, you attack it, or it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies. If a target succeeds on its saving throw the target has no hint that you tried to charm it, and you can use this ability once per Short or Long Rest.

Finally you can learn second level spells like Hold Person, for a one-man version of your ultimate.

LEVEL 4 - BARD 4

Ah the first of many Ability Score Improvements. You may have noticed our deliberately uneven Charisma modifier: that’s because I’m going to be taking the Fey Touched feat for +1 to your Charisma, the Misty Step spell (for Flash, of course), and the Gift of Alacrity spell from Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount for a Song of Celerity! Accelerated movement? I concur.

You can also learn another spell as well as another cantrip! For your cantrip take Mage Hand for help warding those hard-to-reach areas, and for your spell take Lesser Restoration, because yeah it’s also your job to buy Mikael’s. *Sigh.*

LEVEL 5 - BARD 5

5th level Bards get a Font of Inspiration that lets their Bardic Inspiration come back after a Short Rest as well as a Long Rest. That’s good because your Bardic Inspiration increases to a d8, which also boosts your Mantle of Inspiration to grant 8 temporary hitpoints!

You can also learn another spell like Hypnotic Pattern: while it won’t do any damage and your allies can’t hit the dancing enemies it’ll still be the best recreation of your ultimate for now.

(Artwork by Katie “TeaTime” De Sousa. Made for Riot Games.)

LEVEL 6 - PALADIN 1

I hope you weren’t expecting this to be a pure Bard build, because then I’d just be building Seraphine again! Grab your something something Medium Armor as well as a shield (well technically you need both hands free to play a musical instrument) it’s Paladin time, master of auras! 

Paladins get a Lay on Hands pool equal to 5 times their Paladin level for some more healing. You can touch a creature to give them any amount of health from your Lay on Hands, or use 5 hitpoints from your Lay on Hands pool to neutralize a poison or disease affecting them. You also get Divine Sense to locate any Celestial, Fiend, or Undead as long as they’re within 60 feet of you and not behind total cover. Don’t worry it gets a lot more exciting later.

LEVEL 7 - PALADIN 2

Second level Paladins can choose their Fighting Style and you’re still more of a mage than a warrior, so Blessed Warrior will give you two cantrips from the Cleric list that use your Charisma! Guidance is an obvious must for a support and Toll the Dead is a great option if you want to go full AP.

Should you have options for attacks to target enemies who have high Wisdom? Yeah probably: Sacred Flame might be a good choice.

Of course cantrips also imply more Spellcasting! You can prepare a number of spells equal to your Charisma modifier plus half your Paladin level (rounded down) which is currently a freaking lot of spells. Let’s just go down the list, shall we?

Bless is great to buff your team and make them harder, better, faster, and stronger.

Command is a mostly harmless Enchantment spell that will force your foes to do as you, well, command. I’d argue “dance” is a reasonable Command.

Protection from Evil and Good is never bad to have in your back pocket in case you’re fighting either Kayle or Fiddlesticks.

And Shield of Faith will let you boost your ADC’s survivability with Ardent Censer!

I know you can prepare more spells but there isn’t much I want from first level of Paladin. I am contractually obligated to mention that you can also turn your spell slots into a Divine Smite if you hit an enemy with a melee weapon, but you aren’t really going to be using weapons in this build. That’s right boys hop aboard the caster Paladin train!

LEVEL 8 - PALADIN 3

Third level Paladins get to choose their Sacred Oath and Oath of the Watchers may seem weird but it’s really good at defending your allies. That’s because you get two different Channel Divinity options: Abjure the Extraplanar works similarly to the Cleric’s Turn Undead feature except it affects Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fey, and Fiends.

Watcher’s Will meanwhile lets you choose a number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you, up to your Charisma modifier. For 1 minute, you and the chosen creatures have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws. This means that in a party of 6 this ability can give your whole party advantage on all mental saves, which is huge for keeping everyone alive against nasty casters! See? Demacia can use your magic!

Speaking of magic you get Alarm and Detect Magic as Oath spells. (Might want to swap Detect Magic from your Bard list with Mass Healing Word ty Tasha’s.) You can also use Harness Divine Power to regain a spell slot equal to half your proficiency bonus a number of times per Long Rest. And you get Divine Health, because you don’t take a sick day to stop complaining about Seraphine.

LEVEL 9 - PALADIN 4

4th level Paladins get another Ability Score Improvement: cap off that Charisma for maximum AP scaling!

(Artwork by Kelly Aleshire & Esben Lash Rasmussen. Made for Riot Games.)

LEVEL 10 - PALADIN 5

5th level Paladins can finally prepare second level spells! As a Watchers Paladin you get access to Moonbeam as well as See Invisibility, both of which are very good for dealing with incoming gankers.

You can also prepare spells like Aid to boost your allies’ HP, Prayer of Healing (ty Tasha’s) for some out-of-combat healing, and Warding Bond for a Knight’s Vow.

Oh and you get an Extra Attack, which sure would matter if you were actually using weapons.

LEVEL 11 - PALADIN 6

6th level reasons get the main reason Sona’s a Paladin: Aura of Protection! All your saving throws are increased by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier, which is a full +5 currently! But what’s special about this ability is that it also applies to your allies within 10 feet of you, letting you give out auras a plenty to keep your allies safe!

You can also prepare another spell but again: not much I really want. So we’re going to be waiting a little while longer once again.

LEVEL 12 - PALADIN 7

7th level Watchers Paladins get Aura of the Sentinel, or as I like to call it: Song of Celerity. When you or any creature of your choice within 10 feet of you roll for initiative, they gain a bonus to initiative equal to your proficiency bonus. While this may make positioning a little difficult (everyone’s going to have to huddle around you) this ability guarantees that you can speed up all your important allies to make sure they get their powerful abilities off!

LEVEL 13 - PALADIN 8

8th level Paladins get another Ability Score Improvement or a Feat. You may have noticed your uneven Constitution score: grab good ol’ Resilient Constitution for a boost to your health and even more insurance on your Concentration checks. With your Paladin aura and proficiency you’d have a +12 total to your Constitution checks currently, meaning that if you take 24 damage or less you won’t even have to roll for Concentration!

LEVEL 14 - PALADIN 9

You are probably the only Paladin who cares about spells, so it’s nice that you get 3rd level spells now! Watchers Paladins get two very strong third level spells: Nondetection will help you deward and keep your allies safe from enemies that may try to sneak a peak at you, but Counterspell is the true best choice to stop danger from befalling your allies. What’s very good about Counterspell is that as a Bard you get to add Jack of All Trades to the skill check, meaning it’s far easier for you to deny an incomming spell than any other spellcaster! “Mages have enough problems without you.”

Of course you can prepare some more spells like Aura of Vitality for Aria of Perseverance, and Revivify for an ADC’s Guardian Angel. But having access to spells like Remove Curse, Dispel Magic, Crusader’s Mantle, and even Daylight on the Paladin spell list are all extremely useful to be able to prepare. Remember that you are doing yourself a disservice by not taking time to think about what the best spells to prepare would be for your current quest. "Every note is important."

(Artwork by Kelly Aleshire & Esben Lash Rasmussen. Made for Riot Games.)

LEVEL 15 - BARD 6

Now that we’ve got all our auras it’s time to go back to Bard for Mantle of Majesty! As a bonus action, you cast Command without expending a spell slot as you take on an appearance of unearthly beauty for 1 minute. During that minute you can cast Command as a bonus action on each of your turns without expending a spell slot. Additionally any creature charmed by you automatically fails its saving throw against the command you cast with this feature. You do have to concentrate on this feature (like a spell), and once you use it you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

You can also learn another spell but there isn’t much I want from the third level of Bard, really. Oh and you get Countercharm which is awful and I hate it, but since you didn’t take a 10th level in Paladin I suppose you have to use it. Spend an action to give allies advantage on their saving throws against charms and fears, I guess.

LEVEL 16 - BARD 7

7th level Bard; 4th level spells. Freedom of Movement will let you help either yourself or an ally with Mikael’s Crucible, and Dimension Door is great to get into lane fast, or back to base fast!

LEVEL 17 - BARD 8

8th level Bards get another Ability Score Improvement, and if you don’t like the look of something something Medium Armor then the Eldritch Adept feat might be able to help. Take the Mask of Many Faces invocation to be able to cast Disguise Self at will to change your skins as you please.

Could you have taken this earlier? Absolutely. Are there better invocations? Yeah probably, but by level 17 you can make some of your own choices. Build your own Sona: this is merely a guide and you can make your own choices.

Speaking of own choices: take whichever spell you want at this level. There’s plenty of great ones for a 4th level Bard and I can’t recommend anything in particular to you. Every musician has their own style, and it’s up to you to find your own!

(Artwork by Yan Li. Made for Riot Games.)

LEVEL 18 - BARD 9

9th level Bards get to pretend that increasing Song of Rest from a d6 to a d8 by total level 18 is helpful.

You do get access to 5th level spells like Mass Cure Wounds, which is like Mass Healing Word but better! "Harmoniously."

LEVEL 19 - BARD 10

10th level Bards get Expertise in two more skills: Perception is an obvious must to watch over your wards but beyond that? Honestly pick your poison with whatever skill you want since by level 19 you can make your own choices. (Though my personal choice would be Athletics to hopefully give some more safety against grapples.)

But of course the main boon of reaching level 10 in Bard is the Magical Secrets! ...I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you again: there honestly aren’t any spells in particular I want as Magical Secrets. Sure I could recommend spells like Haste or whatever but are they really going to be that great by total level 20? To be honest even the spells on the Bard list like Animate Objects, Greater Restoration, Hold Monster, Rary's Telepathic Bond, Scrying, and Synaptic Static are very good (although I’d sooner replace some of your old spells with them.)

Again I know this is supposed to be a “guide” but most people won’t hit level 19 anyways, so I don’t think it’s that bad for me to recommend you take your own steps to make your own Sona. Hell, build some AP if you want! I know I would!

LEVEL 20 - BARD 11

Our final level is the 11th level of Bard and I’ll be honest: it’s just to add Otto's Irresistible Dance to your spell list. It can only affect one person but it’s still your ultimate by total level 20.

Oh and you were supposed to get a cantrip last level. Uhhhhh I dunno take Mending lol.

FINAL BUILD

PROS

The rhythm connects us all - You have dozens of spells to keep your team alive and active during a fight, not to mention that all your Paladin auras and abilities really help them give 110%. It’s worth mentioning that Gift of Alacrity combined with Aura of the Sentinel is a d8 + 6 to an Initiative roll, which will almost always guarantee that whoever you want to go first will be going first!

A true masterpiece should celebrate living - Despite your somewhat weird level split you maxed out the only stat which matters for you: Charisma. And woah holy shit turns out Paladins are really good with maxed out Charisma! +5 to all saves means even your lowest save is a +4, and the saves your proficient in vary between +13 for Dexterity and Constitution (both very common!) and a whopping +16 save on Charisma!

Curtains up; I'm ready - Jack of All Trades also does quite nicely to help your middling skills. Even though I dumped most of your mental skills you’re still proficient enough that you won’t be completely helpless when caught off guard. And when you’re in the zone with Persuasion or Performance you are easily the best girl around!

CONS

Don't make me get off stage - It was my intention to recreate Sona’s positional gameplay with this build but it does present some gameplay issues when trying to maximize your effectiveness. Where do you position yourself as a character who’s still primarily a squishy caster despite your good saving throws and AC? Can you give everyone in your party support, or are they too spread out to get value out of your 10 foot range auras?

Quiet, please! - You have a damn good concentration check, but what do you concentrate on? Not only do you have a ton of spells but they all scale very good with levels and you have spell slots that go far higher than your maximum level spell. It can be hard to choose what to do with those 7th and 8th level slots.

The world is cruel... Until that changes, I'll never stop playing - One of many “meta” problems with this build was my choice to focus almost entirely on support. Sure Toll the Dead is a great damaging cantrip but your only two damaging spells are Moonbeam and Dissonant Whispers. Again: you don’t have to follow my build point-for-point and while you’ll be flamed in League for building Sona full AP I don’t think your friends will mind if you take some damaging spells.

But if you can’t tell it was really hard for me to come up with those downsides. With the exception of the positional requirements a Bardadin is a very strong build and Sona is a very strong support. Boost your teammates with your own amazing power and make sure everyone’s alive and jamming! Your power may have been forgotten over the years but no one’s ever upset to have a great support at their side. And remember: Seraphine may be in K/DA but you’re in Pentakill, and you have your own label! No one can replace DJ Sona!
