I’m getting ready to celebrate 5 years cancer free and as it’s been a factor in my life for just over a decade now I assumed I had really processed everything.
Enter: moonshine cybin. Listening to her discuss the beauty of the cycle of life and death, and the symbolism of mushrooms & making the most of the time we have instead of trying to chase a larger quantity of time… it healed something inside me. Something I’m still not sure I am able to truly verbalize, yet.
Emily will never know exactly how much she’s impacted my life playing this character, as silly and insane and masterful as moonshine is, that moonshine really crawled in my heart and said “lemme help you patch that”. So on the off chance the universe ever lets her know, finishing C1 meant I left bahumia better than when it found me.
I’m getting a tattoo to celebrate this milestone and a bouquet of mushrooms (enoki, oyster and morels) are absolutely incorporated. To honor this chapter while closing the door feels right.

for drawing suggestions, fia (maybe with irina for pride month) or another eldermourne character from naddpod if you’ve listened to eldermourne and the inspiration strikes?
First of all, thank you so much for the prompt (you can check this out here)! I love Fia so much, she's surely one of the most Characters Ever, and her relationship with Irina just really hits close. I am also relistening to Eldermourne at the moment, so I was super happy to work on this little piece!
Thanks to people who sent other prompts (many Fia centered, we truly have one mind!), I will do my best to draw them in the next days!
[ID: A digital drawing of Fia and Irina from Eldermourne, Naddpod. Fia has short blue hair, purple skin, little fangs and pointed ears. Her neck, arms and face show multiple glowing tattoos. She is holding Irina and with her eyes closed. Irina has braided white hair, light brown skin and long pointed ears. She is smiling softly with her eyes closed. End ID]

fia boginya (or another naddpod character that strikes your fancy at the moment) and 44
sunlight - hozier
[Image Description: A digital drawing of Fia Boginya on a dull blue background. Fia has green skin, short black hair with bangs, two tusk like bottom teeth, and golden rune tattoos. She’s standing with one arm at her side and the other at her chest, looking upwards sadly. She wears a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and a blue vest, with brown trousers. There’s a thick belt low on her waist with a book attached. Golden light hits the edge of her face and arm. Typed over her shoulder reads "soul is born in cold and rain and sunlight" in blue. Sunlight is written over the type in cursive that matches the colour of the light. End ID.]

Reborn:
Truly what can one say about Reborn?
It begins, beautifully, with Hardwon getting a real chance to meet Lydia and explain to her what she means to him as a person, even without her direct influence on his life.
We then get the reincarnation. Almost rolling a gnome. Seeing melora again, getting tattooed. "I've been a half elf ever since I met you." The hammer taking hardwon back. The wrestling match. The fact that the audio was nearly lost to the ages, but Emily was able to recover it with a years-old forum post.
Entering Hill Home. Bev stopping to buy a comic about a cleric (Emily's cleric) to give to Erlin. Finding out that Erllin and Egwene have been off on their own adventures with Red and Gunther.
Bev’s devastating truth. Erlin’s natural, yet painful, reaction. Egwene reassuring Bev. Balnor’s reaction, making sure Bev knew this happens to people, and that things can still work out.
Moonshine meeting Lucanus. “Hey mom and dad!” Hardwon tackling Denny. Denny getting polymorphed into a boot because he’s just that weak. The conversation with Meemaw. The actual introduction to Lucanus. “A man who never thought he’d have a child, holding his child.”
Talking to Martha Toegold. The fact that she knows already what happened to Bev IV. Telling Bev about the tree in the back. “A Bestiary of Devils and Archdevils by the paladin Beverly Toegold I”. “Your father has given you an instruction manual on how to beat him”.
Every single goddamn thing in between. Goddamn.
Heart of the World:
The Boobs take the Stormborn to the Court of Gods. They write letters to their loved ones and put them in the contingency cubby.
After a bit of a difficult trek, they happen upon a wall where they can hear the wishes and prayers of the citizens of Bahumia. They offer a “We are here for you” in return, and are rejuvenated by the reaction to their presence.
Once they get close, they call their berserkers. Moonshine turns them into elephants, then summons pixies to make the elephants fly. The Titans of Bahumia fly into battle Thiala on elephants. (Murph is given the chance to leave Emily over any of that bullshit if he so pleases).
The battle with Thiala begins. She brings back Galad. Hardwon does 297 freaking damage in the first turn. 1,082 total by the end of the fight. Moonshine uses cantrips where they count. Bev takes on his own fungal form, and eventually casts a bonus action revivify on Hardwon. Balnor dukes it out with some angels.
They see what the mind of Thiala wants them to experience. I cannot do the flashbacks as much justice as @misslevel , so here are those comments on them from a previous round.
Thiala takes a second form. Uses Alanis and Ulfgar to harness their energy and make things worse. Tries to actually destroy Melora’s heart, holding the world together. Moonshine uses Handy Andy to steal Erlin, he’s freed from the gem, and able to help heal everyone. Bev, Balnor, and Hardwon keep swinging.
Nearing the end and fearing things will get so much worse (Balnor and Hardwon keep going down), Moonshine casts Shapechange and turns into a Gold Dragon. She eats Thiala.
The Titans of Bahumia return their divine heart fragments to Melora, as they were just borrowing it. They give Pelor his heart back, resurrecting him. They save the last one for the Dusk Mother, and give her rule over the one hells, renaming it The Ruby Dawn.
Old Alanis, the traveler, returns, and asks Balnor if he’s ready. He says tearful goodbyes and returns to his timeline, ready to destroy the hounds and save his village. “It’s okay, Balnor. I knew like all the most powerful things in this world, I was only borrowing you.”
We move forward in time. They start finishing off Akarot. Set up the ritual to destroy the Hellfire Crown. Hardwon visits his father in Kord’s Great Hall. Bev and Erlin get to be kids.
A year later, they return to Moonstone for the Jamboreen.
Moonshine reacquaints herself with the dragon she hatched and invites him to live with her at the Crick. Hardwon asks for the same offer, and it is given quickly. They read Balnor’s letter by the fire. Our story then ends where it began, in The Hungry Trout Tavern.
