The first chapter of my sci-fi dystopian Team Rancher au, Finality’s Fault, is here! I worked really hard on this first chapter and am very proud of it, so comments and rbs (feedback in general) would be greatly welcomed!

Also, asks are always open if you wanna ask me about it, theorize, or just chat in general :)

[invinciblerodent]

These days I kind of can't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed the possibility of being from Orzammar in Origins, specifically because just being who you are put so much of the early game in a wholly different context.

Like, a dwarf from Orzammar has, by definition, lived literally under a rock their whole lives!! They've never left the underground, and yes, while that also makes their ignorance of surface squabbles (the mage issue, the Ferelden/Orlais conflict, everything with the city elves and the Dalish, etc.) make a lot of sense, it also comes with so many interesting new angles that I'm honestly so surprised still that I've never really seen it mentioned very often, if at all. (Even though we even get an explicit moment to reflect on it, when leaving with Oghren.)

In Origins, the moment a dwarf first steps out through the gates of Orzammar and begins the game, is a profoundly life-altering experience. Dare I say, even more so than it is for an elf or a human. Because stepping out, for the first time, they are entering an entirely new world, and for the first time, in front of them is a vast expanse of nothing but air.

The end of the prologue, it's not just a fundamental personal change that awaits you, it's also a displacement so complete, that it's absolutely dizzying to even think about.

That first time a dwarf feels the sun on their skin, they are made sun-touched, a surfacer: stripped not only from caste and kin, of identity, but also faith and memory, any favor their ancestors may have still held for them, and any possibility of ever returning, as far as they know. (Aeducan may even have a bitter little chuckle over the irony of how they could very well have just one day before shrugged off the concerns of their surface brethren completely, only to be made one of them now.)

Their whole lives, they had always been able to see the opposite wall of the cave, or at least to know for sure that it's there, along with the miles and miles of unchanging, crystal-littered rock stretching protectively over their heads-- now all of that is gone. There's nothing between them, and the infinite and ever-changing blue, grey, orange, black of the open sky they've never seen, and in the distance, there's no wall-- just glorious, humongous mounds and spires of rock jutting up into the belly of the sky, the likes of which they've only ever seen from the inside.

Orzammar, despite no sunlight ever penetrating that far, is always lit bright, and it's heated by the lava streams and pools below. A dwarf has never known anything colder or warmer, brighter or darker, never seen seasons change... the biting winds and the frequent rains in Ferelden are completely new to them, not to mention the terrifying cracks of thunder that sound like the very Stone over them cracking in two, the bright flashes of lightning illuminating the night for but a moment, or waking in the middle of the night to what sounds like countless fingers pat-pat-patting the tarp of their tent, or the fact that animals -which are varied and plentiful and wholly alien- sometimes just randomly fall into the sky, like the rumors say! They might know academically that with birds, that just sort of tends to happen, but they've never seen one take off!!

Hell, all of surface flora and fauna are completely new to them-- it's likely they've only ever seen a tree or a dog in a picture book. Flowers, they've likely only ever seen as an expensive and frivolous luxury few can afford to have for a while, and even then, they are by necessity brought in removed from their roots, dead, wilting, taken from their natural place... while here, blooms just spring up underfoot willy-nilly, not entirely unlike mushrooms at the home which is not theirs anymore.

And... there must be something organic, something comfortingly animal to the scent of hundreds of warm bodies crammed into a sealed hole in the ground-- which is just gone now. The air is fresh, clean... empty, cold, lonely. No smell of spilled ale, piss, and vomit, no thick scent of the combined breaths and bodies of all their people... no scent of belonging, the air that moves their lungs now is no longer that which has moved those of all they've ever known, and every breath washes more, and more, and more of who they once were from inside their very body.

Being on the surface, it's like being thrust into an alien world, with which all just expects you to be intimately familiar. What do you mean the grass, the bugs, the birds, the leaves are strange? What do you mean you've never eaten leaves from this plant, fruit from this tree, the flesh of this creature you've only ever heard about? They laugh when you avert your eyes from the sky and try not to think about falling into it, or when you startle at the feeling of falling water suddenly hitting your skin, as if that was somehow funny, charming.

The night, which you've never before seen fall, is a comfort from all that endless, boundless seeing- but after the Joining, not even that is a relief.

Because if you're a dwarven Warden, all the dreams you've had in your life have been nightmares.

So you cope. You learn, and adapt, and endure.

Strong and immutable, like the Stone from which you were rent.

OC Tag Game

Taking @mathlann up on the open tag! You know I'll always jump at the chance to yap about Ariadne.

Ariadne

(art by @/mooreaux)

General:

Name: Ariadne Trias (- Arendae once married)

Alias: None beyond her title

Gender: Female

Age: 23 at the start of WOTR

Spoken Language: Common (Taldane). Also speaks Elven.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Occupation: Part-Time Clerk, Pathfinder, Knight-Commander, Countess, in that order. Also, Alchemist all the time.

Favourite…

Color: Rose gold

Entertainment: Reading. Daeran is on a mission to make her a fan of the opera, but books are always her greatest love.

Pastime: Gardening! She grew up around plants and flowers and feels at home tending to them.

Food: Strawberries. She likes them plain, dipped in chocolate or with cream, used in cakes or pies...

Drink: Mead (alcoholic) and cinnamon tea (non-alcoholic)

Have they…

Passed University: Nope! Despite being very intelligent, Ariadne was not a driven student and did not test very well, so after she finished her primary education at 17 she started working for her fathers part-time, as well as various shops around Absalom until she decided to join the Pathfinder Society at 20.

Had Sex: Yeah, it's her other favorite form of entertainment/pastime.

Had Sex in Public: Yes. Typically she prefers privacy but she's not opposed to it.

Got Tattoos: No, though I did consider giving her some for a while.

Got Piercings: Yup, several in each ear. I have considered giving her a few body piercings but haven't committed yet.

Got Scarred: In all likelihood she has a few but I haven't put too much thought into it, I'll admit.

Had a Broken Heart: Oh yes. Every relationship she had before Daeran and Woljif ended in heartbreak.

Are they…

A Cuddler: Yes! She loves cuddling, and is especially fond of being in-between Dae and Woljif.

Scared Easily: No. Her confidence usually carries her far, and despite how she acts sometimes she is pretty good at risk assessment.

Jealous Easily: Nope! Early in her development I thought she might be but now that she's more fleshed out I don't think she would be.

Trustworthy: Yes. Again, despite how she acts Ariadne takes any promises she makes seriously and genuinely wants to do right by those she cares about. Even if her methods are a bit... questionable.

Family…

Sibling(s): None

Parents: Her bio parents are Marius and Yessenia Trias, and her stepfather is Elvandir. Yes, her parents were in a polycule as well. As far as anyone knows, Yessenia was killed on a Pathfinder mission when Ariadne was a year old. Marius and Elvandir are both still alive and (mostly) retired from the Pathfinders, living in Absalom and still running the botanical garden where Ariadne grew up.

Children: Eventually she has two - Silaena is her daughter with Daeran, and Marius her son with Woljif. They're only about a year apart in age (Silaena was planned, Marius was not).

Pets: Headchomper the owlcat! She found him in Defender's Heart and they've been together ever since. She also had a pet chicken growing up, and the Arendae household has several pets at any given time.

I'm also leaving this as an open tag. Want to do this? Go for it, I want to see it 👀

Ninjago Oc Secret Santa 2024

What is a Secret Santa? - A Secret Santa is a gift giving event; you’ll be assigned someone to secretly make a gift for, and someone will make a gift for you. - It’s very important that no one knows that you are making them a gift and vice versa, that you don’t know who is making you a gift! Are there any rules? - Absolutely no N/S/F/W or Suggestive content is permitted for prompts, gifts, or references. This is /not/ an 18+ event. - No direct contact with the person you’re making a gift for; you can communicate through me or ask through anon on tumblr if you can. - No AI art/writing, Gacha edits, face claims, picrews, or bases will be permitted for oc reference submissions or gifts. - Oc x Canon and Oc x Oc ships are 100% allowed. - Fankids, sonas, and self inserts are also allowed; my only rule is that fankids of Lloyd x Canon ships are not permitted. - Please respect requests regarding holiday or seasonal preferences when making a gift. Don’t depict an oc participating in a holiday or seasonal activity that the creator asked not be depicted.

- For the art portion, you must draw the character(s) you were assigned and they must be visible (feel free to ask for clarification) How many ocs can be submitted total? - At least one oc is required, but up to three can be submitted ^^ What will I need for sign ups? - Refs or art that show a clear, colored depiction of your oc. - OR at least two pieces of writing for said oc (does not need to be a whole fic. Could easily just be a quick blurb showing how they’re written as a character) - Basic Information/Fun Facts about your character. This can be background information, relationships, likes/dislikes, age and height, personality, etc. - Suggestions or prompts for your gift giver. Stuff to help get their brain going. - Your blog name (not the name you go by online but the url name. Like @/Ninjago-Oc-Appreciation. Make sure it’s a tumblr url, and not from any other social media) What’s the general timeline for this event? - Sign ups will officially begin near the end of October, around the week of Halloween. - Assignments will be within the first couple of weeks of November. - You will have until December 23rd to January 7th to finish your piece. These will be the designated posting days. - January 8th to 14th will be the designated late week. How do I sign up? - In Late October, I’ll post a google form where you can submit your oc(s)! There will be one for writing and one for art! - Please reach out to me in someway after signing up. This can be through messages, asks, comments, etc. In the past we’ve had issues with the forms, where they’d “eat’ a submission, and I’d like to know when to check to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Additional Notes: - This will likely be the last year I host the writing portion of the event, unless a significant amount of people show interest. Last event we only had one person sign up, and the one before that we just barely got two. - Google forms does require an email in order to make submissions with images and documents, a necessary part of the sign up process. The process is entirely private on your end, so I will not be seeing the emails used. - We’ll be using #NOSS2024 and #SecretNinja2024 as tags for this event! That’s all! If you have any questions feel free to let me know, I tried to cover everything but I may have missed something!

A day in the life of a Guardian - Guardians are the sole protectors of Fae troupes. Guardians often lead several troupes with various offsprings and mates. Today, Aries visits one of their troupes. ✨ Text under the cut

Guardians are the sole protectors of Fae troupes. Guardian often lead several troupes with various offsprings and mates. Today, Aries visits one of their troupes.

Aries sires 6 offsprings: Lynx (Young Adult), Syrus (Adolescent), Kree (Adolescent), Zan (Youngling), Cypress (Youngling) & Iri (Infant).

Aries has two mates; Pine and Olev, who is expecting their 7th.

Guardians sire multiple offsprings to ensure the vitality of their kind. They will engage in an intimate conception ritual with their chosen mate in the Glade, the safehaven for Fae magic.

Guardian choses their mates based on how skilled they are in things like hunting, crafting, song and dance. Once chosen, they are mates for life.

Socializing plays a vital role for young Faeries; hence, a sibling is often born shortly after a Faerie's birth. Being apart of a large troupe is essential for their survival in the mortal realm.

Faeries are known to be peaceful but can be a threat if provoked. Because their young is so vulnerable, Guardians will kill to protect them.

Hunting is a bonding experience for adolescence Faeries. They hunt together, typically lead by an elder until they are skilled enough to hunt alone. They’ll hunt small animals, such as rabbits and birds, and always perform a release ritual to return that animal’s spirit back to nature.

Young adults often remain in their troupe until they are ready to start one of their own. The offsprings of Guardians are the most successful at leading their own troupes.

Fae magic ensures a bountiful harvest wherever they reside. If a troupe abandons their home due to being hunted, nearby crops and gardens often die off from the lack of magic in the soil.

Young Faeries strengthen their magic through play. Unlike Spellcasters, Faeries can begin using magic at birth.

Guardians' mates never harbor animosity towards each other. They all share mutual respect and contribute to the prosperity and joy of the troupe.

That said, having a non Fae lover can be...complicated.

messy drawing of Ari and one of his adopted daughters, Corah (9 years old, Bosmer/Redguard). she’s his spoiled little princess, and he always tries to find rare animal teeth/claws and gems to bring back from his travels for her 🩵 she was surrendered to him when she was only a few months old because her mother was young and terrified, and gave her to the first person she came across before fleeing Valenwood (where Ari was for academic reasons) entirely. Ari wants to find her again just to see where she’s at in life now, but it’s not a priority. Corah has yet to be told that she’s adopted, and Ari has yet to tell anyone else that she is either besides his mother and stepdad, because he desperately wishes she was his biological kid and doesn’t want to shatter that illusion. other than that, they have a great relationship and Corah is all around a very energetic and happy child!
