Ignis’ Moving Castle

I decided to draw another Taiga Woman and Ignis Frost play as Sophie and Howl from “Howl’s Moving Castle.” I have mentioned that this would be a perfect role for them and again, I really love Studio Ghibli movies. 💖💜💕

And yes, I drew Taiga with short hair since in the movie Sophie did have long hair, but then had short hair in the end. I hope you like it @ministar100. 😊💖🌟✨❄️🔥

"...?" Tempest slowly woke up. The wind Prototype looked around at their surroundings.

"You're awake, my friend..." Lilith smiles. The light Prototype was as radiant as ever.

"Hello you two." Ai waved

"Good to see you." said Snowfall

The Council of Rune

[shadowyspectre]

Macaque first notices that the blood slipping down the king's head is darker than it should be. But as he watches, he finds that it's not blood. The dark crust around it splits as it moves slowly down, revealing the glowing orange beneath it. Upon reaching the simian's chin, it drips onto the grass. His ears pick up the hiss as the grass beneath it dies, smoke billowing up from the contact.

Wukong slowly lifts a hand, wiping some of the blood from his face with a thumb. He inspects it for a moment, testing the viscosity. But the hardening lump is soon flicked onto the ground.

Macaque finds himself swallowing, fingers twitching with the urge to summon another cudgel. His gaze flits from the grass to the other. A question hangs on his tongue, and yet he hesitates. Does he really want to know? Is this something he wants to dip his feet into? He came here for revenge, yet the literal lava pooling from the wound he inflicted sends a pool of dread into his stomach. This might be too big for him. Concern twists inside him, but he snuffs it out as if it was only a candle. He is not concerned for Sun Wukong. No, he is worried about the hazards of harming the king. If he spills his blood, he will end up burned just like that damned grass. 

But that question comes again, haunting him.

Molten gold eyes settle on him, a bored look passing over the king's face. "Go on then. I know you're dying to ask." Stone grinds against stone as the king speaks, almost as if the effort alone crumbles something inside his throat. 

Macaque thins his lips, staring at the other as his fingers twitch again. This earns him a scoff and the sound of more crumbling stones.

"Speak up or keep fighting. My patience is thin, Macaque."

When the king takes a step forward, the shadow finds himself blurting out the question. He does not want to know if the golden-simian's touch burns. "What the hell happened to you?"

This gives Wukong pause, and his head tilts to the side. After a moment, a booming laugh rumbles from his throat. He presses a hand to his stomach, doubling over as if the shadow merely told a good joke. As the king laughs, Macaque's tail swished with mild irritation. Once the other stops, wiping his eyes he watches the king straighten his spine.

"Oh, Liu'er." His fur bristles at the coo of his name, and he retreats a couple steps. "While it's sweet you care, I must say you have other things to worry about."

"Like what?" he hisses.

"Hm," dark claws tap idly at a bottom lip. "Like getting off my mountain alive. You've trespassed, touched what was mine, and attacked me. Not looking too good for you."

The king narrows his eyes, slowly lowering his hand as he stares at the dark-furred simian. "Soo, I do believe you should start moving. Unless you want to make this easy for me."

Ignis is 100% right of course but the SECOND I read Ms. Erin Frostbit-tits having a bullshit fit here WITHOUT that commentary, I immediately just thought about the time that I saw Morgana had very rightfully tweeted out something about: " The Feminine Urge to be Daddy" exactly and I was internally just like "Oh yes Morgana please tell me more! 😍" and then I looked at her replies hoping to see more hot femmes rightfully, as they should be, having a discussion with Morgana about 'The Feminine Urge to be Daddy"... But then all I saw was nothing but Turbo Virgin Helluva Boss Fans ether telling Ignis derictly she should shut up or making passive aggressive quips at her like " ...I'm gonna pretend I didn't just see that!" or "Well good luck adopting your new child then, can't wait to meet them!" or even "... You mean you're adopting a new dog Like Blitzo... Right? RIGHT?!" Plz say 'right'."

And I just, like... This is why calling turbo nerds "Virgins" and shaming them for being Turbo Virgins is OK actually and fandom nerds saying Turbo Virgin shit like that to Morgana and what Erin Frost said below Morgana's clap back is exactly why y'all need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! ABOUT "DEGENERACY" EVERY TIME THERE'S A VALENTINES MERCH DROP IN THIS FANDOM OR ANYTIME FROM NOW ON, ACTUALLY!!!

The Wizard's Apprentice - Chapter 8

Saffron is just a lowly apprentice with barely a successful firebolt to her name. So what chance does she have with the arch mage she's slowly falling in love with?

Gale x Tav, slow burn, eventual smut

Chapter 1 Previous chapter Next chapter

For a moment neither of them moved as the creature’s call echoed in the air around them, dangerous, threatening, and getting closer.

Quickly Gale ran to his tent and grabbed the quarterstaff he’d got from the grove. Saff followed behind him but stayed back as he instructed her to. He stood in front of her protectively, watching the trees as the noise grew closer and closer…

Suddenly it came, faster than anything, a four-legged monstrosity charging towards them. Gale barely had time to react before the gnoll was on top of him and he was thrown to the ground, slamming onto his back. He managed to raise his staff just in time to catch it in the creature’s mouth, desperately holding it off as gnashing teeth came down at him. 

“NO!” Saff screamed, reaching out to him. Quickly she gathered her wits and raised her hands. 

“Ignis!!” 

The firebolt slammed into the creature’s side, singing off its fur, but did nothing to deter it as it continued to claw at Gale, getting closer and closer as he could barely hold it off. She tried again and again, throwing firebolt after firebolt, but they seemed to do nothing. 

Finally the creature reared up, ripping the staff from Gale’s hands and throwing it aside. It dived down again with a bite, and this time Gale had nothing but his arms to protect himself with. He screamed out in pain as teeth sunk through the leather of his bracer and into his flesh, blood gushing down his arm. Saff’s heart nearly stopped, and she didn’t even register what happened next - she acted on pure instinct. She ran towards them, raising her hands as she did, throwing all her body into the movement. “Detono!!” 

The sound of thunder rang through the camp as the creature was thrown into the air before hitting the ground hard, sparks of static rolling over its skin. It whimpered as it got back to its feet and glared at them, teeth bared, wanting revenge. 

Saff wasted no time and ran in front of Gale, a ball of fire already burning in her hand. “Ignis!” 

The fire slammed into its side but again seemed to do little to it, and suddenly the creature was charging towards her. 

That won’t work.

Her hands fumbled for a new gesture as she knew she had to try something else, and ice began to form at her fingertips.

“Glacies!” 

The ice spear slammed into its leg and left it stumbling as frost formed over its paw. Quickly she summoned another, then another, each attack leaving it reeling. She took a step closer with every spell, throwing everything she had at it, until finally the creature turned and ran, whimpering as it retreated into the forest.

For a moment there was just the sound of her own breathing as the adrenaline gradually died down, her hands shaking as she watched the trees where it had disappeared. 

Then she turned and ran back.

“Gale!!” she gasped as she jumped over the scattered camp supplies and fell to her knees by his side. He was sat on the ground, clutching his wounded arm, covered in blood. 

“Gods…” she whispered in horror as she looked at the gore in front of her. But she knew she couldn’t let this get to her and had to act. Quickly she ran over to the supplies box and dug out the first aid kit they’d got from the grove, then ran back to him. She carefully began to remove the ruined bracer, trying not to let herself get distracted by his gasps of pain as she pulled the leather over the ripped flesh. Eventually she had it off, and after carefully peeling back the tattered, bloody remains of the sleeve, the severity of the wound was there to see. Huge lumps of flesh dug out, all the way down to the bone. She knew some basic first aid, but this was way beyond anything even a trained doctor could fix with such a basic first aid kit. A few bandages wasn’t going to help with this…

A feeling came to her. Something deep inside, telling her what to do, whispering a word to her. It wouldn’t work, she was sure… but that feeling told her to do it anyway…

She raised her hands and held them above his arm and closed her eyes. Gale watched her in confusion, unsure what she was doing. It was hard to make himself hold his arm there when every instinct wanted him to do something, anything, to try to stop the pain and the bleeding… but he trusted her. 

His eyes widened as he saw a golden light begin to envelop her hands. 

“Te curo.”

Her voice seemed to echo as her hands grew brighter, bathing them in warm, golden light that wrapped round his arm. Under the light he could feel the skin knitting itself back together as the pain diminished, and after a few moments the light faded away. His arm was still covered in blood, but the worst of the wounds were pretty much healed. It wasn’t perfect - a few cuts remained - but compared to how it had been earlier, it felt to him to be good as new. 

“You… you know Healing Word??” he gasped as he held his arm, looking at her in shock. 

“It’s… never worked before…” she whispered, equally in shock, til a huge grin spread across her face. “It worked! I can’t believe it!” 

He looked down at his arm again, looking at where the skin had knitted back together. 

“But… healing spells can’t be cast with arcane magic…” 

“No, but they can be cast with primal magic.” 

He looked at her, realising what she was getting at. 

“Druidic magic… you can cast druidic magic??” 

“Apparently!” she couldn’t help but laugh, being almost giddy with excitement. “I never could before! But just then I, I don’t know, I felt something and… it just… happened!” 

She looked at his arm again, and only now noticed the remaining cuts. 

“Wait, is it actually healed?” she asked, suddenly panicking. 

“More or less,” he answered, holding his arm out for her to see. She gently took it in her hands, carefully inspecting the wounds. 

“There’s still a few cuts… but I think I can deal with those the old fashioned way,” she said, reaching for the med kit. She took out a rag and a bottle of clean water and began carefully cleaning his arm. He closed his eyes and tried to focus his mind elsewhere away from the pain, though she could still see him wincing slightly as she dabbed the wounds, and tried to keep her touch as light as possible. 

As she washed the blood away she couldn’t help but wonder - had it tasted as bad to the gnoll as it had to Astarion? The gnoll didn’t seem to react at all, though maybe gnoll palettes just weren’t as discerning as a vampire’s. She considered asking him about it… he had said a story for another time, after all, and now was another time. Yet something stopped her. As if… she didn’t want to know the answer. 

Eventually the blood was all washed away revealing the cuts fully. They’d probably be considered quite bad if they weren’t compared to the state his arm had been in before. 

“I’m going to need to stitch some of these up,” she warned him. He just nodded, trying to keep his mind focused elsewhere. 

The stitching process was long. She felt awful every time the needle pierced the skin and she saw him wince, but it had to be done. After what felt like an eternity it was finished, and she began bandaging his arm up. Eventually she was done and his arm was clean and treated, unlike the rest of him, which was still covered in blood. 

“There,” she said softly, lowering his arm down. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the bandages, turning his arm over slightly. He was very quiet for a long moment, his breath still slightly raggedy. “Are you alright?” she asked, gently putting her hand on his shoulder. He took his eyes off his arm and looked to her, finally managing a smile. 

“Yes. Thanks to you,” he said gratefully. “Gods Saff, that was incredible! Not just the healing, but the way you fought that gnoll… I daresay the lessons have paid off,” he said with that smug grin again, and she knew from that he was definitely alright. “Though in hindsight perhaps teaching you the loudest first level spell in existence wasn’t the best idea…” 

“You think it attracted the gnoll?” 

“It’s a possibility we can’t ignore. Quieter spells from now on, I think.” 

“I don’t think I can manage any more spells today anyway,” she said with a weary sigh. “And you definitely need to rest.” “I think, more than that, I need to bathe,” he said, looking down at himself. 

“As someone who also recently lost a lot of blood, I’d say you should stay seated for a bit longer. Even if it’s unpleasant,” she said, glancing down at his blood-soaked robes. He chuckled softly. 

“As you say, doctor…?” he prompted, deciding to turn the roleplay around to learn her surname. She chuckled at the attempt, but shook her head. 

“Doctor Saffron, I suppose. I don’t really have a surname.” He blinked in surprise. 

“You… don’t have a surname?” 

“Nope,” she started as she got up and began to prepare him some food and water. “I never knew my parents, I grew up in an orphanage. They said I was left on the doorstep in a box one morning with just a note that said “Saffron”. So either it's my name, or someone ordered some spices and were very disappointed when they received a baby instead,” she said with a laugh, though Gale couldn't join her in that. For a moment he was shocked into silence, until he finally spoke. 

“I'm… sorry…” he said quietly.

“Don't be, it wasn't so bad,” She said, handing him a plate of food and a drink. 

“Still, to not know your parents… do you have any idea who they were?”

“Nope, and I don't care,” She answered simply, sitting next to him. “My mother was probably a single mother, or teenager, or prostitute too poor to keep me. That was the case for most of the kids there. My father… gods only know. But it doesn't matter. The matriarchs at the orphanage were my parents, and the other kids there were my siblings. Even if I found out who my parents were, that wouldn't change.” 

“Sounds like you were all very close,” he said with a smile as he ate. It was a nice change to the stereotypical idea of orphanages. “What was it like growing up there?” 

“It was… well, to be honest I hated it at the time, but looking back now, with the knowledge of how bad some orphanages were, I was very lucky really. The matriarchs were kind. The building was clean, if a bit cold in the winter. Food was… not exactly abundant, but we didn’t starve. It all got a lot better when I was around 10 and some wealthy patron donated a huge stack of books to the orphanage. I read every single one, multiple times. I suppose they provided an escape. I loved them, especially the ones about adventurers. But there was one in particular that was my favourite. It was about magic. It covered all the different types of magic, and most importantly, it had instructions for casting a few basic spells. For months I tried to cast those spells. I started to think the book was actually wrong and I was wasting my time, but then finally it happened. Just a slight shimmer at first, but it was there. Maybe I should try to find out who that patron was, thank him for introducing me to magic.” 

Gale smiled as he listened to her. It was a heartwarming story in a way, and he always loved hearing how people got into magic. 

“To be able to teach yourself a spell at that age, even a basic one - that’s impressive,” he complimented. 

“Thank you, though it was years before I could do anything more than a few shimmering lights. When I hit 18 I had to leave. I moved in with a few of the older girls I’d known in the orphanage and got a job serving tables at the local tavern. Spent most of my evenings in Sorcerous Sundries, reading all the books I could. Saved up to buy some of my own. Learnt some more spells, started looking into druidic magic. After a few years of that I met Malitas. He saw me clearing a table with mage hand and asked what a wizard was doing waiting tables. I told him about myself and my work and he said he'd take me as his apprentice. That was about three years ago now. He has a small annex on his tower that he said I could live in, gave me all the books I needed, told me to focus on my research with druidic magic.”

“And told you not to learn combat magic?” Gale asked, still a bit suspicious about that. 

“He said every wizard in the world is researching combat magic, and that I've got something unique, and I should focus on that. Plus, he said he'd be furious if I accidentally burnt down his tower,” she said with a small chuckle. 

Maybe it was as simple as that, the guy just didn't want errant fireballs flying around. Yet it still didn't sit right with Gale.

“I know you think it's odd,” Saff said, noticing his unease about it. “But he's given me everything I wanted. Lessons, a space of my own, the resources I need. I wouldn't know half the magic I do if it wasn't for him.” 

“He taught you a lot, then?” 

“Yes. And not just magic. Alchemy, too. And history, etiquette, all that sort of stuff. He always said if I was to become a full wizard I must learn to fit into wizard society. Be a proper lady, one no one would ever guess grew up in an orphanage and waited tables.”

“Hmph,” Gale murmured disapprovingly. “He makes it sound like those are bad things that you should be ashamed of.” 

“He said they are, if I want to be a respected wizard. And that, while he didn’t agree with it himself, the most powerful wizards of the land wouldn’t accept someone with such a poor background and that I mustn’t tell such people where I really come from if I want to be accepted.” “What a load of nonsense,” he scoffed, shaking his head. “Some of history’s most powerful wizards have come from humble backgrounds. I’m glad to see you didn’t believe him.”

She narrowed her eyes a bit as she looked at him. 

“What makes you think I didn’t believe him?” 

He looked back at her, slightly surprised. 

“You told me everything without hesitation,” he answered. A smile came to her lips. 

“Ah, yes. Well, I didn’t think you were like that,” she explained, bringing a smile to his lips that mirrored her own. 

“I’m glad to hear it. I certainly wouldn’t want to give off that impression.” 

“You don’t, don’t worry,” she said sincerely. There was a pause before she spoke again. “It’s really not true, then? Wizards aren’t like that?” she asked, sounding a bit surprised by that.

“Well… some wizards are like that. But any wizard as bigoted as that isn’t one you want to associate with. You will go far in wizard society based on your skills, not your background.”

She smiled to herself. 

“Good. I’m glad to hear it,” she said softly. He looked at her for a moment in concern. 

“I’m surprised he would tell you such a thing…” 

“Well… you said some wizards are like that, right? I guess he didn’t want me to miss out on any opportunities with them. Plus, maybe it’s different in different places. Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate have plenty of differences, that could be one of them. He’s an elf too, so maybe it’s different in elven society.” 

“Perhaps…” Gale murmured, less convinced. “Either way, I think a master should focus on teaching their apprentice magic, not… social etiquette.”

“Do you? Have you had many apprentices, then?” she challenged, not entirely agreeing with his critical appraisal of her master. 

“Not many, no. I've tried teaching in the past, but if I'm honest, I would always get too frustrated if they proved inept.”

“Gosh… how are you putting up with me?”

“You are far from inept,” he said with a chuckle as he looked over at her. “Teaching you has been a joy, in fact.”

She couldn't help but smile to herself. 

“Well, thank you. I'm glad,” She said, hoping he couldn't see the slight blush on her cheeks. “Did you ever have a master yourself? Or I suppose you knew everything already and didn't need one?” She asked jokingly. 

“Heh, no, I did have masters. Several, throughout my time at Blackstaff Academy, including the Blackstaff himself in my later years. And others after that, various teachers and mentors. Some were… more helpful than others,” he said with a chuckle, before taking the last mouthful of food and finishing his drink.

“I’ll tell you about them sometime. Right now though, I think it’s about time I washed this blood off,” he decided, putting the plate aside and looking down at himself. 

“Try not to get your arm too wet. Open wounds and river water don’t go well together…” she warned.

“Indeed they don’t. Not to fear, I’ll be careful. Wouldn’t want you to so valiantly fight off that gnoll only for me to die of an infection,” he joked as he stood up and headed to his tent.

“Don’t you dare,” she laughed, giving him a playful warning look. 

“I assure you, I don’t plan on doing that,” he said, giving her a smile before disappearing into his tent to get changed.

Latin Spell chants for BG3

I did not make this list! It was made by ExoZilla in r/BaldursGate3 but I wanted to share it here!

Zelink gets Isekaied into BG3 Pt1: The Nautiloid

Zelda- High Elf Draconic Lineage Sorcerer

Link- Half Wood Elf Champion Fighter

Post-TotK

How did the isekai happen? Shut up, that's how.

Zelda essentially takes the place of Tav. She gets tadpoled.

As soon as she gets out of the pod she starts calling for Link. When she doesn't get a response, she resolves to just keep an eye out for now.

When she comes across Us she's grossed out, but treats them nice anyway.

Lae'Zel gives her a fright, but they come to an emergency understanding as usual.

They deal with the imps, though it's mostly Lae'Zel and Us. Lae'Zel is NOT happy with Zelda, since she just swung her staff around instead of casting spells. Zelda asks what she means by 'spells' and they move on because they don't have time for a magic primer.

They come across Shadowheart in the pod and they figure that out as normal. Lae'Zel tells her to tell Zelda how to cast fire bolt or something simple like that.

Shadowheart explains 'Ignis!' to Zelda on their way to the helm.

During the helm battle Lae'Zel, Shadowheart, and Us do their thing, but Zelda is unleashing fire bolts left and right. She even uses Ray of Frost somehow.

The gang reaches the nerve transponder or whatever and the Nautiloid section concludes as usual.

Happy birthday Zeldris! This is also a gift for @north-sta, who has made the cutest OC, and I couldn't resist making an adorable, tooth-rotting fluffy oneshot of the family to celebrate.

Enjoy!

The scent of flour and vanilla wafted through the air in the large kitchen. Standing precariously on a stepstool, a young child stood over the counter, their face scrunched in concentration as they smeared brightly-colored frosting over a cake. The counter was a mess, with various baking ingredients covering the surface, and even spilling onto the floor. 

The child muttered under their breath as they grabbed another hefty scoop of the frosting before plastering it on. They had been working on this surprise for a few hours now, and it had to be perfect. As they continued to coat the cake, the side of their arm bumped into a nearby bowl. 

With a startled cry, they watched as it crashed to the ground beside them, instantly shattering upon impact and sending shards of ceramic everywhere. With a small curse, they climbed down from the stepstool, starting to carefully pick up the pieces as footsteps rapidly approached from down the hallway. 

“Ignis? Is that you?” the soft voice of their mother broke the silence, the child glancing up. Sure enough, their mother was in the doorway, her eyes blown wide as she surveyed the chaos their child had created. “Uh, hi mama,” Ignis said sheepishly, their hands full of broken ceramic. Gelda stepped further into the room, raising a suspicious eyebrow. “What is all this?” 

Ignis quickly threw away the ceramic in a nearby bin before turning to face Gelda. They gestured towards the counter, where the cake was still resting. “It’s papa’s birthday. I wanted to make him a cake.” Gelda glanced over at the said confection. A smile soon made its way onto her face as Ignis clambered back on the stool, pointing at the little decorations on top. “That’s very sweet of you, Ignis. And you did such a good job. Zel’s taught you well,” Gelda praised, running her hand through their flour-coated hair. 

Said child smiled brightly in response, their vampiric teeth flashing in the candlelight. They grabbed a handful of chopped chocolate in a nearby bowl and spread it over the top of the cake. The words ‘Happy Birthday Papa’ were sloppily written across the top, with a crude stick-figure rendition of the demon king himself in the center. “I’m almost done with it, I just have a few more decorations,” Ignis said, spreading the chocolate on the side of the stick figure, arranging it in a way that somewhat resembled their father’s hair. 

“How about we take it to him after you’re done?” Gelda offered, “I’m sure he’ll love it.” Spurred on by the thought, Ignis began hurrying, their face scrunched in concentration as they finalized the finishing touches. Gelda chuckled softly at the immense concentration her child was immersed in, continuing to run her fingers through their unruly hair. 

It wasn’t but a few moments later that Ignis stepped back to admire their handiwork, seemingly finished. “It’s done!” they exclaimed. “Not quite, it’s missing one final thing,” Gelda said. Ignis turned to her in confusion. “What’s it missing, mama?” Gelda wandered over to another cabinet, rifling through the drawers as she searched for the final decoration to make it perfect.

With a small cry of victory, Gelda pulled out a candle. “No birthday cake is complete without a candle to top it off,” she said as she walked back over to the cake. She gently pressed the bottom of the candle in the lopsided cake, making sure not to destroy her child’s hard work. “Are you going to put two hundred candles on it?” Ignis inquired as they watched Gelda light it. 

With a small laugh, Gelda shook her head, slipping the cake into her hands as they started towards the hallway. “Of course not sweetie. One candle is enough. Now, let’s go surprise your father. I’m sure he’s still in bed.” With an excited noise, Ignis clambered off the stepstool, bouncing down the hallway to where their parents’ room resided. Gelda followed along, careful not to drop the cake as she fondly watched her child.

Ignis carefully pushed the door open, stepping inside as they peeked at the large bed situated in the center of the room. “Papa?” they asked, stepping further inside. They heard a light groan, before Zeldris finally sat up in bed, yawning loudly. His eyes softened as Ignis climbed onto the bed, crawling into his waiting arms. “Good morning, Ignis. How’s my favorite child doing?” 

Said child laughed lightly, wrapping their arms around their papa tightly as they snuggled close to him. “I’m your only child, papa. I made you a surprise,” they said, looking at the door. “Oh?” Zeldris quirked an inquisitive brow, following Ignis’ gaze as Gelda finally stepped into the room. Zeldris’ eyes widened, his jaw becoming slack as Gelda walked in with the cake. “Happy birthday, papa! I made it myself!” they squealed, bouncing excitedly as Gelda placed it on the bedside table. 

Zeldris sniffled, feeling tears come to his eyes at the sweet gesture. He held a hand to his chest, clutching his shirt as an immense sensation flooded through him. “You made this yourself? For me?” he whispered, looking down at them with a teary gaze. Ignis nodded, flashing a bright smile as she looked up at him. “Mhm. I did the frosting too. Do you like it?” Zeldris cupped his child’s face gently, bringing their faces together as he kissed their forehead softly. 

“It’s perfect, Ignis. You did such a wonderful job. Thank you.” Gelda slipped into bed beside the two of them, Zeldris’ arms going around Ignis as the cake was brought into their lap. Gelda and Zeldris shared a soft look, before glancing down at their child. “Make a wish papa!” Ignis said impatiently, bouncing in his lap.  Zeldris hummed thoughtfully, before blowing out the flame. “What’d you wish for?” they asked. The demon shook his head, running his hands through Ignis’ hair. “If I told you it wouldn’t come true, now would it?” 

“Nothing like celebrating your lover’s birthday by having cake for breakfast, right Zel?” Gelda laughed as she passed them all forks. Zeldris nodded in agreement, chuckling as he jabbed his fork in the lopsided confection. As all three started eating the cake, Zeldris couldn’t help but smile as he surveyed his family.

Out of all the two hundred birthdays he had in his long lifespan, this one was by far the most special.

The "Vivzie Transphobe" drama

CW: Transphobia (duh)

Hello, 🪨 here!

There are people are STILL shitting on Viv for "being transphobic". Well, you already know what we do here, so time to debunk everything!

First of all, let me explain what this is about exactly:

Erin Frost wanted one of Millie's brothers to be transgender, so she designed him with that in mind and gave him black horns (imps' horns are differently colored based on their agab, with afab imps having black horns and amab imps having black and white striped horns)

In the episode, however, the brother got male horns instead and was made cis.

This change was NOT made because of trans erasure. Thing is, there's already a trans sibling who's going to be fleshed out later on, Sallie May. They planned for her to be transgender very early on, it was a decision everyone agreed on.

This unnamed background character was not planned to be trans, and doesn't have much importance to the story anyway. We already have 2 transgender background characters, wouldn't it be better if we just focused on the already existing trans sibling and made her more significant instead of throwing lgbtq+ characters in the background and calling that woke?

Another thing people have been complaining about is Sallie May. How she has been oversexualized and how she has a bulge despite being transfem. I believe Morgana Ignis, the VA of Sallie put it best:

It's so weird that people whiteknighting for trans people, and transphobes both always focus on genitals. Can't someone be transfem without having bottom surgery? Do they need to pass 100% to be considered valid and not an "ugly transphobic fetishization"? I get that it's easy to lie about stuff online and people are skeptical, but by constantly questioning someone's gender identity by focusing on "what's down there", you're no better than the transphobes you're fighting against. I am aware trans fetishization exists, but for god's sake, if the transgender VA says she's okay with this, then it's okay!

[north-sta]

Ok follow up on my previous ask:

How would Zel react if Ignis made him a cake for his birthday? It's lopsided and the frosting is not evenly coated, but its made with love for their papa.

Gelda goes into the kitchen one morning to see her child splattering frosting on the cake, their face and hands coated in flour and other baking ingredients. "What are you doing, Ignis?" she asks. "Making a cake for papa. It's his birthday after all."

Cue Ignis hobbling into their parents' bedroom, Gelda opening the door as they wake Zeldris up to a birthday breakfast of cake in bed with the family.

(And I may or may not be writing a one-shot of this cute interaction later.)

That is suuch a sweet idea!

I can imagine Zel being very touched by the action. He feels very proud, both of his child for being thoughtful, but also of himself for being able to break the generational trauma and being an actual decent parent.

Also, Ignis might not be the best at icing a cake but the little decoration on top is crisp!

Hells, please do give me motivation to draw them 😩

[theliterarywolf]

Okay. I've been hearing more about the Erin Frost and Spindelhorse situation again with one of her friends telling she took a picture out of context. I am so confused right now

Everything I've ever heard/read about Erin Frost screams 'I want attention and will show my entire asshole to get it, even if that means making it harder for people legitimately suffering in indie project teams to speak out'

Because the latest bout of 'Come on, now...' I read through was them claiming that Viv initially disproved of Sallie May being trans because Erin designed her which prompted Morgana Ignis, Sallie May's VA, to retweet the thread to state that Viv had contacted her in regards to playing a transgender HB character before the designs had even gotten into the brainstorming phase.

It is important to listen to people expressing their grievances, yes, but when it's the same person, over and over again, bringing up matters that keep getting disproven, over and over again, you inevitably get people rolling their eyes whenever that person is mentioned.
