Sometimes a family is a 97 year old field agent and his feral children

[quiche-draws]

We've been cooking at the Kotaloy Elysium discord for the past week, all cuz we were inspired by a Critical Role campaign trailer which Noshir Dalal (Kotallo) and Ashly Burch (Aloy) will be starring in.

And so, a fantasy-steampunk AU was born, where magic is abundant in a world very unlike ours. ✨

In a post-apocalyptic world, where the land has come apart, separated by never-ending seas, Sky Admiral Kotallo, captain of the Tenakth skyship Wings of The Ten, needs a new wind weaver. These individuals possess the powerful ability to manipulate air and so often serve as Navigators, guiding skyships of all tribes through natural or conjured air currents. The Admiral will need such a person if he is to accomplish the herculean task of mapping out the world and exploring uncharted regions A Nora girl, Aloy, is one such wind weaver. After a fateful encounter, she, along with her twin sister Beta, who is a gifted seer, end up joining his band of skyfarers. Together, they begin unraveling the mysteries of the ancient world before them, discovering new lands and cultures, making new friends, allies and enemies alike.

*Aloy design (second image) by @i-lavabean. Other art for this AU has already been posted by @han-ban-bam, @mancatrex and @astralpaint! Go check'em out!

(PS. feel free to send asks if you want to know more 😆 I set up an entire Gdoc to keep track of the details we'd been discussing in the server)

💙 FICS 💙

Kissed by fire (G) by @koteevna The Tenakth hold a belief: "To be kissed by the flame is the highest honor before ascending to the Ten."

What the Water Gave Us (T) by @little-box-of-wonders Kotallo nearly drowns. Aloy saves his life. Feelings are realized.

A Verdant Bloom (T) by @grexigone Early Summer 3040. Set after the battle at the Zenith base.

Stolen Kisses (T) by @murmeringwhisper The one where they kiss for the first time.

you could offer him a kiss (G) by @fogsblue Aloy invites Kotallo on a machine hunt, it's very successful, even without any salvage.

Familiar Warmth (G) by TheArtseeWinks At the outset of a new Embassy happening in Meridian, Aloy is tired and just needs some quiet time with her man.

First Kiss (G) by @bonjourviolette He leaned in ever so gently, pressing his lips softly to hers. The smallest gesture, but for Aloy it held multitudes.

The Scorcher That Menaced The Valley (E) by EeveeBree What Was Lost where instead of a Shellsnapper Circulator, a couple Behemoth Force Loaders, and two Ancient Sculptures, Kotallo rewards Aloy with a KISS

On the Veneration of a Kiss (T) by @pikapeppa Among the Tenakth, a kiss was a venerated thing.

every little piece (G) by musicofthespheres Who knew a simple request to go hunting together all those weeks ago would turn into this?

Your Lips (G) by heavy_heartstrings Aloy sees Kotallo without his face paint for the first time and becomes a little obsessed.

When I stumble (G) by Woolverine It's a beautiful day in the future. What could go wrong?

Based on that "what character would you be in an anime" generator thing I reblogged yesterday, where I was "angry protagonist in a mystery anime" and @i-lavabean was "tired senpai in a mystery anime". She decided that made her "Radio's Tired Mom-Friend".

So here we are. I'm probably yelling I SEE YOU, VILLAIN! or something. Don't ask me why I have a poncho and rain boots on, I just do, I guess.

See someone's got to tell the tale, whether or not it turns out well

Maybe it will turn out this time

[i-lavabean]

Please let them rest in the finale please please please

[i-lavabean]

I don’t remember if I ever posted this

[i-lavabean]

We're in this strange and wonderful period where the beans want to watch Winnie the Pooh and then go pretend to be Aloy, I'm enjoying it for as long as it lasts

[i-lavabean]

I used Grace Liu's incredible art as a pose reference. Definitely recommend looking her up!

For the "Old and New" prompt in the Kotaloy Elysium I thought I'd go back to one of my first kotaloy pictures, the cyberpunk one.

Another WIP

We love all GAIA's machines but HEPHAESTUS was clearly not paying attention when he made Wark.
