#plus... ✨variation✨

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Hey are you still taking those outfit requests? No worries if you closed it! 🌼🤠

sure!

[hp-hcs]

Hello there.

Since you're taking a request, then maybe some poły relationship with Theo and Mattheo. Preferably male lub gn reader

Thanks and have a good day

aaaaaa a non-monogamous relationship with my two favorite boyos??? abso-fuckin-lutely!!!

polyamorous theodore nott & mattheo riddle x gn!reader headcanons

(lovely pictures from @demieyesore)

since it wasn’t specified if the boyos were dating each other as well or not, i made it ✨up to reader interpretation✨

❕gender-neutral reader❕

TWs: violence (it’s theo & mattheo, what do you expect?), brief sexual harassment/attempted sexual assault (?)

requests open (please for the love of god)

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

general headcanons:

mattheo is little spoon and i will take no arguments

(he’s almost always in the middle <3)

if you call theo literally any pet name he will die on the spot

same if you call mattheo any variation of ‘pretty boy’ or ‘cutie’

(extra bonus points if you compliment something unrelated to his physical appearance, like how well he did on a test, or how perceptive he is. homeboy will have no idea how to respond. he’ll just be like 🧍‍♂️🥹👍🫶)

the poly thing actually only happened because there was a very aggressive love triangle thing going on and then they were like “wait this is dumb”

plus, it makes a bunch of the teachers uncomfy, + both of their fathers, so really it’s ideal

they r possessive as F U C K

they can share with each other, that’s it. no one else.

i dare anyone to try to bully or harass you

or actually, even just look at you

OR IF SOMEBODY TRIES TO ASK YOU OUT

someone call an ambulance for the poor fuck 💥🚑🚨🩹🪦💀

lil oneshot thing? idk man:

you go to one of enzo’s stupid parties without your boys

“i’ll be fine guys, promise”

y/n was, in fact, Not Fine™

someone tries to hit on you but just DOESNT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

let's say it’s cormac mclaggen cause mf is creepy asf

(i know everyone makes him like ‘the bad guy’ but yk what if you don’t like it go write ur own headcanons. they’d probably be better anyways)

anywhore, cormac is like, getting a lil too close for comfort

just kind of haranguing you the whole night

offering drinks, complimenting how you’re dressed, telling you that your boyfriends are “so lucky to have someone as sexy as you”

🤮🤮

you are OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable

but shit hits the fan when he grabs your waist/hip area and tries to kiss you

✨surprise!✨

your mancandy was here the whole time 😌

(not cause they don’t trust you, they just don’t trust anybody else)

💥👊😡🩸🩹🔪🗡️💣

cormac: 🥊🦷😵‍💫🩸🩹🩼☠️⚰️🪦

(lowkey hot to watch em defend you but yk)

((y/n for literally no reason: 👁️🫦👁️)

(((if you tell mattheo you think it’s hot, he’ll just go 🥺🫶💋😚🫂)))

misc:

expounding further on my earlier mattheo x reader headcanons, a scientific study i’ve conducted has found that mattheo riddle is, in fact, a himbo

from the new partridge dictionary of slang and unconventional english, a himbo is “a man objectified by his good looks and presumed lack of intellectual qualities, a man who trades on this image, a gigolo”

objectified by his good looks? have you met tumblr? ✅

lack of intellectual qualities? well, he thinks violence solves everything and thinks with his dick instead of his brain so i’m gonna say yeah ✅

but let’s keep it going, shall we?

a himbo is also defined as the “human version of a golden retriever—beautiful, incredibly well-intentioned, and dumb.”

…yep

beautiful ✅ well-intentioned (in his own mind) ✅ & dumb (lovingly) ✅

additionally: buff 💪 ✅ & respects his romantic partner(s) ✅

“but hp-hcs,” you bemoan. “what does that make theo?”

well, my dear delusionists, theodore nott is a hunk—not quite a himbo, but close

hopefully this venn diagram i made of some of the himbos & himbo-adjacents in the hp world will help illustrate this for you

April 2024 Progress Update

Hey, everyone!

Just popping in with another progress update for you all! I've been busy this month too, writing nonstop for both BtM and TSSW 3.

About Beyond the Mist, I finished the big branching that happens with Zach once you get to Magnustor. I also finished the big Cy scene that comes afterward!

Things are really starting to get sinister, nyehehe! Now we're about to get into the city proper, and boi oh boi are things about to get even more disturbing~

Once we are in the city proper, I estimate I will have three big scenes with each RO before the culmination. Then, the extended epilogue.

We are very much on track! I'm thinking I might be able to hit an end of 2024 release, but things rarely go as expected, so an early to mid 2025 release is probably more realistic.

As for TSSW 3, all I had left to finish Manerkol's route was one last big scene, which I have already started writing, BUT! I decided to add some more scenes with the others too, Straasa and Daelynn especially alslslsls

I have finished Straasa's, Morkai's, the mule's, the Stone's, and now I need to do Daelynn's and finish Manerkol's.

Then, the main plot parts as well as all the friendship parts and Manerkol's route will be complete! After that comes adding in the rest of the romances.

I estimate that I'll be done with the Manerkol/main plot stuff by end June. I believe that will give me enough time to finish the others before the end of 2024, which is the goal!

Eledwen's and Daelynn's romances will take the longest to write because there are a LOT of variations.

Plus, uh…there will be intimate scenes for all the routes except Elly's, the DE poly, and Manerkol. (Although Manerkol's scene will be kind of a…grey area. 😏)

But yeah, everything is rolling on with satisfactory speed! And that wraps up April's progress update~

I'll talk to you all again next month!

Cheers✨

~*~

P.S:

If you can't wait for more, I offer early viewing access for both BtM and TSSW 3 every month on my Ko-Fi and Patreon!

The early access builds get updated every month with new content, so don't miss out!

[scrumptiousstuffs]

as i see, FK doesnt have a lot of fanservice they seem so real and honest about the things they do together i think this is the best thing about them! do you see the same way? or am i just crazy abt them lol

Hello Anon! Welcome to my corner of FK obsession 😂.

To answer your comment - I genuinely do not think our wonderfully, weird co-dependent besties are doing any major fanservice (I mean, they might harped it a little during events/concerts), but their interactions off-screen tells a lot about their relationship.

I can’t put it as eloquently as the talented Sarah @/firstkanaphans (who has ways with words) and it seems she answered some questions/comments already re: FK in the last 24 hrs (so, if you haven’t check it out, please do!). Not surprisingly though, after the wild 24 hrs we have in SomSoms fandom. And who could blame us? - we have Khaotung (plus Joong) looking smoking hot in those suits, followed by FirstKhao sitting on each other lap and now them drunkenly kissing during karaoke?? (Also - this is me bowing to Joong who continues to be our lord and saviour in detailing us FK shenanigans 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️)

But in a nutshell, I agree with what you (and what most of us think) - the boys just genuinely enjoy each other company plus they have found their safe haven. FK themselves admit in an interview their relationship could only be defined as “First-Khaotung” cause even they are aware to some degree the things they do for each other are not most people will do even in a good friendship scenario 😂….I mean, these 2 have GPS activated? on their IPhone so that they are constantly aware of each other location, spoils each other with expensive gifts, sulks if the other don’t show up to any event (First’s graduation ceremony come to mind! - he was so upset and whining to Ciize when Khao pranked him into thinking that he would not make it to the ceremony. I also recalled him playfully sulking and refusing to say Khaotung’s name during a solo event [and instead use variation of “rice” instead] cause Khaotung was asleep and didn’t tune in to his solo event 😂🙂‍��️ )

Also, I have always thought between these 2 - First is the more expressive and eloquent speaker. You can tell by the way he effortlessly carry out any host duties or events/interviews (while Khaotung usually stares adoringly to his bestie face 🫣 but he is getting better!). Or how about the way First wrote those beautifully penned out what I can only described as love letters to his bestie (during LOLFanfest 2024). Khaotung, on the other hand, he is the epitome of what I will call “action speaks louder than words.” He quietly helped First throughout Safe House season 4 when the latter broke his arm/wrist, and if I recalled, Khaotung helped First ties his shoes during a photoshoot they did together (with the photographer/staff member actually showing a BTS photo of him doing just that) during the same period. It’s not to say Khaotung can’t expressed himself or function without First, but these 2 just sparkle ✨ more brightly when they are together.

And while Sarah rightfully pointed out that during Khaotung’s bday event last year, he kept looking up to see if First is present yet, I will say the same applies with First - during his bday event this year, a Thai fan who went to the event (@/pannjed) said that First checked the door multiple times throughout the event for his bestie’s presence 👇🏽, and you can see his face just lit up when Khao finally showed up

Sorry, I seem to have gone off tangent, but I adore these two boys. I do not know if their relationship is platonic or not, but whatever it is, they are just so so genuine and loving towards each other (and to their fans) that I wish them the very best in life and their career .

I’m going to finish up by putting up 2 of my fav photos of them, cause it sums them up well:

Anyway, our boys may not be as busy or active with events lately, but we are bless to see their beautiful relationship in display! 🧡🤍

[haechannabelle]

more abstracts ! having a lot of fun with layer modes ✨

taking a lil break from portraits, fyi. i've posted 94 unique portraits this year (plus more variations/WIPs) so i really wanted to push myself and get to 100 by the end of the year, but i think putting that pressure on myself was making it not fun for me. i'll get back to them tho, i have a few birthday portraits this month i'd still like to get done. but i'll keep posting these in the meantime, if people like them !

[worldsokayestmagicalgirl]

The first batch of pictures for Amoré's character journal are here! Also I have been so super sick that I've literally had nothing to do but to work on this for like almost 2 weeks so...

The cover to cover tour officially starts here. All I can say about the front & back is that I lament my lack of experience with my Cricut when I made these decals. I only had 2 "fun" colors to work with at the time & I was still getting comfortable drawing in Procreate, so my silhouette art leaves a lot to be desired compared to some stuff I've made recently. I also found it's incredibly easy to burn this leather book.

But she's volume one, everything with her is a learning experience, & I realized as much as it helps to have a mini heat press for tight corners & small spaces, the cloth barrier they suggest you use between the vinyl & the iron tends to make things harder to press on this scale. So instead I gotta quickly tap straight on the transfer film & hope I don't burn anything around it :(´◦ω◦｀):ﾟﾟ

So at the risk of thoroughly exposing my inner theater kid, Amoré set the precedent with how I went forward creating campaign characters. I started off collecting 5 songs to make a mini story arc (almost like a show choir set list 🙃) that helps me figure out an outline for the kind of story I wanna give them.

Somehow Amoré ended up with a truly horrendous blend of rock & theatre. Absolutely incredibe. No wonder she's always such a dramatic bitch.

It was a lot easier to go in & add little decals around these lyrics. I'm definitely cursed with the Too Much™ gene, but I enjoy the little pops of color they give ✨ plus it justifies me hoarding all these vinyl scraps printing stuff this small lol.

Stat sheet!

In all honesty, as my first character I had no fucking clue what I was doing when I placed these & if I could go back & change one thing I'd probably swap her Intelligence & her Wisdom. She’s definitely more people smart than book smart.

But everything else is...very accurate. She has all the upper body strength of a chicken nugget. Plus on top of the (already) negative I traded disadvantage on everything DEX for magic crystal shoes that can be periodically harvested. Just a way for her to carry around the family fortune without actually having to return to the vault✨

For something that started so average, her CON became a monster & always comes in clutch for her alcohol tolerance. I've played variations of her across a few different one shots & I always manage to roll well for anything alcohol related. The dice do respect a bit 🤣

Spells on the other hand, I floundered with a lot at first because we’re not a combat heavy game, but then I found Chaos Bolt & that was that. It’s essentially Amoré in spell form & I’ve had a ton of fun with it over the years. Also Mage Armor cuz my girl is SO DISTRESSINGLY SQUISHY.

Cantrips were more or less a bit of a toss up. Message was fun for the sheer idea of her using it to talk shit during social events without being caught. But aside from Light serving fun backstory purposes the other 3 are kinda just what looked fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ unless you count the idea that she would absolutely delight in zapping handshakes.

From there, I wanted to extend the world map made by our wonderful DM @cappierong into a full scroll. Ya know, for the aesthetic ✨

Our campaign started in Civania, where Amoré's main Estate is. I just wanted a quick mock up to reference, so I edited a preexisting picture I found that checked all the boxes (large, on a plateau, accessible only by bridge) and then absolutely smothered it in flowers.

But anyways... This is primarily where Diana & Amoré grew up together in their decade of backstory ✨

There was probably waaaay to much back & forth trying to keep the continuity between stuff I've already drawn & this big reference. But I think it turned out pretty ok? Not like if I make a mistake anyone will really know lol.

Scaling was also another big issue I had, & I moments where I thought something was too big I just kinda handwaved it away like "ehhhhh she's from a stupid rich family." But now I have a NEED to draw baby Diana & Amoré around like, the statue gardens or something cuz I feel like certain parts of this place are definitely ominous 👀 especially for children...

And lastly we have the back cover & the High Noble political relationship map! I normally have this closer to the front but for layout purposes it'll be here. I kinda feel like I need to do more for the decoration of it but I can’t think of anything else to add at the moment.

Sam if u read that no you didn't.

But now! Other than a family portrait that I've always wanted to draw, I think I'm ready to move onto the art for Season 1 : Arc 2. It's a pretty hefty amount of art in comparison to others, so I gotta get busy. Especially since I think I'm gonna have to draw a few comics *sobs*

If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading! I'm always excited to talk out our little idiots so thanks for indulging me ❀(*´▽`*)❀

[thatsrightice]

I’m a huge fan of daemon/spirit animal/animal shifter form AUs and I can be convinced Iceman’s animal is just about anything with enough conviction or headcanons, so I decided to put together a poll for outside input.

I also put together some pictures of the animals with some of my thoughts I would love for you to read below the poll! If you have one not listed, please comment!!! I’d love to read your thoughts.

Snow Leopard

super majestic and regal like just look at him

cold weather king, has snow in the name like fr

def just watches quietly from a distance before making a move (thinking of that bar scene where he’s watching from a corner)

patient, but also looks polite

super intense gaze, judging you so hard rn

Arctic Wolf

cold weather, has arctic in the name

looks like they’ve got lots of wisdom

super smart for sure

never leaves a wingwolf behind

would def snap his teeth at you

Golden Eagle

big bird (6ft+ wingspan)

suuuuuper fast like one of the fasted birds

in a daemon au he would totally rock being in a navy portrait

cold weather cause ice, maybe partial source of callsign (goes for all cold weather animals tbh)

super serious super intense like just look at him and his laser focus

patiently waits before swooping in for a kill

there’s a lot of variation among the species and it’s 6 subspecies, so it could be super dark like the picture below

Leucistic Golden Eagle

Golden Eagle but ✨special✨

ice(man) cause of white feathers

feathers on leucistic birds aren’t as strong, but he’d be sure to prove to you he’s not weak

his dad would totally hate it, think he’s weak, defective, etc.

Leucistic Bald Eagle

birds fly

cold weather

normal bald eagle would be too on the nose, too cheesy maybe imo

ice(man) callsign partially cause of white feathers, mostly because of the way he flies of course

higher ups def love the bald eagle, very patriotic which is good publicity for him, maybe why he got promoted so fast

pretty similar to the golden eagle in terms of skill

feathers on leucistic birds aren’t as strong, but he’d be sure to prove to you he’s not weak

dad would probably definitely hate it, think he’s weak, defective, etc. but also maybe jealous because he had to work to get his place in America whereas his son just gets a bald eagle and is suddenly 100% american

Harpy Eagle

birds fly

big bird (6.5ft+ wingspan)

looks cold af

like looks like he could kill you and could definitely kill you

great flight agility

head feathers kinda wild, could kinda mimick his frosty tips but reversed

Leucistic Harpy Eagle

Harpy Eagle but cool as ice like I’m digging the colors

i really dig the colors on this boy

Snowy Owl

birds fly

cold weather, had snow in the name

observes quietly from the rafters

patient for sure

silent flight is a plus, swoop in when they’re not expecting it

Eurasian Lynx

native to Russia

cold weather

lynx are pretty standoffish so it’s kind of a vibe

thought I’d shake things up by throwing it in the mix

Amur Leopard

native to Russia

cold weather

observe from a distance (kind of a common thread but that bar scene like come on it fits)

idk it’s very cool and needs more awareness cause it’s going extinct

[marsmarauders]

Alright we know what this is about!

(Explanations below the poll)

Seahorn: Marlene's name is derived from mary which means "star of the sea" (it can also mean tower) and horn comes from Dorcas whose name means gazelle!

Starzelle: Variation of the one above!

Herochaser: (Not my idea!) This one comes from @ramblingsfromthytruly It's because of Marlene's courage to fight for what she believes in and Dorcas chasing for revenge. (Plus, she could be a chaser!)

✨Christmas✨: Gryffindor and Slytherin. Red and Green. Easy as that. (this one is a joke).

Narwhal: A sea animal with a horn. (also a joke).

Gazellion: Gazelle for Dorcas and Lion for Marlene!!

(I just feel like I need to put this - if your favorite doesn't win or you want to call them something else- obviously you can. I'm more just trying to think of what I want to call them!)

[oh-shtars]

You say there will be some close calls swearing in your au and if "oh shtars" is not some variation of a Star curse word then I will be disappointed /j

Lmao 😂

Uhhhhhhhh….. funny story about this side blog’s username. I didn’t know what to call it before and whether it should be anything fancy or smth.

Then looking through my story outline (that’s still in progress), there’s a bunch of ‘oh-shet’ moments and I was feeling a lot silly at the moment, so I just put “oh-shtars” as a placeholder for now.

But I guess the username grew on me, sooooo here we are~ ✨

Plus, wouldn’t it be a funny reference anyway? Like at the end of a chapter, I can just go:

“Oh-shtars. Oh-shtars indeed…..”

[sparklingpax]

STUFF FROM TFCON CHICAGO 2022!!!!! 💖

About the cosplay: It's Hawk!!! 🥰 And hey!! I did a much better job than Halloween last year I think 😹✨💙 This was what I meant talking about the variation thing in my last art post btw~ I had two people recognize my character!! The joy I got from that was undescribable 😩🙏💖

About the con itself: OH MY PRIMUS I'D BE HERE ALL DAY TALKING ABOUT EVERY COOL THING I SAW 😭💜 Let's just say that I was incredibly lucky to find the stuff I got, and I'm grateful to have gotten it (yes btw that is a screenshot from a tiktok I made about this, I'd put it here but Tumblr is really weird about posting videos so....check my TikTok ig? 😳) // It was truly awesome to see all these figures and things from shows I barely see anyone talk about yet which I care deeply for, NOT TO MENTION THAT EPIC TABLE OF ENTIRELY VINTAGE JAPANESE G1 STUFF WAAA 😭🙏💕💕 So yea, I got a lot of cool stuff, I met some ppl (including a nice conversation with the actual Aaron Archer!! He signed some stuff for me and even left doodles with the signatures!!! Like a smol Unicron or an Optimus!!! That was very cool 😌✨) I saw a lot of cool cosplayers who I didn't have the courage to talk to, but I'm glad I could admire all the creativity and passion from afar :] And the panels!!! Were all very interesting!!!! The Peter Cullen one was awesome, and the script-reading one at the end of the day was also very fun!!! I read for Minerva's part in the audition period, and though I didn't get it, I enjoyed that little moment! Plus, the person they ultimately chose did an amazing job with the script!! ✨ It was purely just cool to even see Minerva on that screen for a while--tbh, we stan the Masterforce rep I saw all throughout the day 😩💖🔥 or, well, I stan that...😳✨

About Meeting Peter Cullen: In short? Surreal ✨🙏 So, I'd signed up for an autograph when getting the tickets for the con! And that Optimus you see up there is the thing I meticulously drew as the print. I wanted it to be something special, so I literally poured my heart into that...tbh, it did turn out quite nice!!! ^\\^

From here I'll repeat exactly what I said in my Instagram post: Though brief, I'll never forget those couple moments. I was able to tell him that theres a lot I struggle with, but that Optimus has always been a real friend to me, and I thanked him for the role he's played in my life...after he signed my print, I asked to give him one, and then mentioned actually, I'd drawn these, and he was so impressed. He read the captions on the banners aloud and said "That's Optimus alright!" (I was grinning like an idiot sjsjsj) & before I gave the copy, he asked *me* to sign it for him 😭 the highest honor for me as an artist ngl 🙏 Reading my name, he said he was glad to have met yet another unique individual like myself...before leaving, we shook hands and he told me I should keep going, that I'm doing great. I couldn't stop smiling as I left.

....

So basically, Saturday was a dream--in fact, many dreams came true Saturday. Thanks, TFcon Chicago, it was a wild and fun ride I'll never forget~

OC(s) Questionnaire

Tagged by @greypetrel - and her characters are just beautiful, so I'd highly recommend to hop on her blog and read her version :> 💜 Thanks for the tag!

Tagging: maybe @coloricioso could be interested? No pressure as usual ✨ +plus anyone who is interested!

Everything under "Read more" after the first one, of course.

NAME: Gwydion Hawke

NICKNAME: Hawke, of course - the firstborn can take dibs on the family surname. And then Gideon, since 1. that's how most people misspell his actual name and 2. Varric uses it in his stories (it's “more suited for the hero”). He doesn't mind.

GENDER: Male, although he takes it easy. In a modern AU he would be the Hakwe sibling most likely to experiment with gender presentation - and in every universe he just knows he'd look good in a dress/corset.

STAR SIGN: Libra

ORIENTATION: Gay

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Literally a random human born on a ship – 100% conceived in Kirkwall though.

FAVORITE FRUIT: All the citruses

FAVORITE SEASON: Early Spring

FAVORITE FLOWER: Forget-me-not, snowdrops, zagare (orange blossoms).

FAVORITE SCENT: Crushed elfroot, rain, lyrium potions - and why must lyrium be toxic when it clearly smells like raspberries and tangerines? UH? Templars are gatekeeping it. He is literally the only one saying this. At some point he’ll think fondly of sewage.

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea, preferably cold.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Around 7, but not consecutive.

DOGS OR CATS: Dogs AND cats AND also every single animal willing to be pet - why would you deny a centipede some love? And did anyone actually tried to raise a baby dragon? Cowards.

DREAM TRIP: Antiva, or Rivain – it sounds fun, from Isabela’s stories, and he is intrigued by their religious customs (and generally different approach to magic). Not without 50+ SPF though, have you seen Anders' skintone?

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: Just a few, he doesn’t particularly suffer the cold – and he’s a cuddly sleeper.

RANDOM FACT: Extremely tactile, hands must be occupied (almost) all the time. He makes his own bows and then whittle silly little figurines with the scraps of wood - usually they all end up looking like chunky animals of debatable identification.

NAME: Maren Hawke

NICKNAME: Mari (used only by selected people – Bethany can, Carver may or may not find nettles in his bed the next day) and various epithets by Varric (he finds her difficult to pin down, to his extreme annoyance). When she’ll get into Kirkwall’s politics people will start to call her Lady Amell, to everyone amusement.

GENDER: Female

ORIENTATION: Official not-so-mean lesbian

STAR SIGN: Scorpio

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Human, born in Ferelden, even if she doesn’t feel a strong national connection to it.

FAVORITE FRUIT: Pears, quince, pomegranates

FAVORITE SEASON: Autumn and Winter

FAVORITE FLOWER: Wild violets, daisies

FAVORITE SCENT: Parchment and ink, ambergris, wild roses’ oil, metal.

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Black coffee in public, hot chocolate with lots of spices (and something sweet to eat on the side) in more private settings.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Better not to ask. Around 5, to avoid dreaming – she will slowly get better during the years.

DOGS OR CATS: Birds, obviously.

DREAM TRIP: For political reasons, all the cities of the Free Marches. And Weisshaupt/the Anderfels to pester the Wardens about griffin’s eggs – because what Merrill wants, Merrill gets.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: At least 4, because half of them will be stolen by Merrill during the night.

RANDOM FACT: Does she care about fashion? Not particularly, but she is highly aware of the power of appearences, and how to convey certain messages through clothes. She prefers small and significant jewelry over flashy one, but absolutely loves a nice statement headpiece, especially with some kind of drapery or veil – so she can literally put behind a curtain annoying people with a subtle turn of her head.

NAME: Malva Surana

NICKNAME: Irving’s pet, Surana, debatable variations on her name when Jowan wanted to be annoying – after the Circle, she is just Malva and then the Warden Commander.

GENDER: Do you have a gender if the circumstances of your birth make you less than a person in the eye of society? Ahaha, anyway, female.

ORIENTATION: Very queer - preference for women, but willing to experiment for the sake of it, if she fancies so. In another world, her and Gwydion would be the monsterfuckers, let’s be real.

STAR SIGN: Aquarius

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Definitely a city elf (the tattoos are random lines, made by someone who wanted her to remember but had no idea how a vallaslin really looks like, or how and when they are done) – maybe from Denerim’s alienage? But as far as she knows, there is no past before Kinloch Hold.

FAVORITE FRUIT: Blackberries

FAVORITE SEASON: Spring

FAVORITE FLOWER: The kind of question that would trigger a half-an-hour-long aswer. For brevity sake: nightshade, hellebore, wisteria, ivy (not a flower, but impossible not to mention), and mallow.

FAVORITE SCENT: Burning wood, moss and damp earth, rosemary, wildberries.

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Definitely tea. She is the mistress of the most absurd herbal infusions. They are great and they'll cure your cavities and other various ailments - but you don't want to know the ingredients. Don’t.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Between 6-8, can wake up every day at the same time without any alarm of sort.

DOGS OR CATS: If really pressed she'd say dogs (“They are great traveling companions”) but immediately regrets it because of all the fond memories of Ser Pounce-a-lot.

DREAM TRIP: The Thirashan forest, Arbor Wilds, Arlathan Forest – pretty much an elven history roadtrip to try to reclaim that part of her identity.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: Just one or two, wrapped all around her chrysalis-like because her subconscious still believes that the other apprentices will steal them.

RANDOM FACT: For a moment, she was Justice's first choice for a possible living host - she never knew it, though.

✨Assault on the droid factory (P1) !✨

A decently-sized MOC I've been working on for the past few weeks. These is the landing platform of the factory, and, hopefully, I will take some time to make the actual factory inside, which is nothing more than an idea, at the moment.

Closeups and details under the cut !

The door :

I have a lot of fun with the mountainside of this MOC : It's been a while since I last did rocky terrain (or any terrain at all), and it is an enjoyable process. Most of the bottom is supported by large rock pieces (for structural integrity), but anything around and above the door is meticulously hand crafted from slopes. I also added some little plants here and there to break the dull grey, including some weird spiralling plants, because alien environment.

The door itself is just a bunch of slopes, and then two black sections. It's not moving and will remain in this half-opened state indefinitely.

The bridge :

Really the heart of the MOC, both visually and structurally. While it's covered everywhere, there are technic bars running under the large plates, and that's what allows everything to stay together. Just below the landing platform, you might spot one small antenna acting as a pillar. It's only there to keep the bridge in this position, as most of the charge is held by the mountain. It was a bit dull at first, so I added the cable running under it, and the small barriers, which fit the aesthetic without being overwhelming.

As for the action, here is a brief summary of what story I'm trying to tell : a squad of ARC are infiltrating a droid to destroy it, using a stolen CIS ship. Upon their arrival, they face heavy resistance.

Trying to breath life in these scenes is really fun, and it uses multiple tricks, from the droid falling off the bridge to the one being pushed by the shield, plus the clone jumping on a droid to stab it. Speaking of, here they are !

The clones :

MOC postures :

Rest postures :

Custom clones ! I absolutely love making these, and I still have a lot of similarly customised ones on my shelves. The ARCs from the battle pack look awesome, and even if they all have the same prints and color, it doesn't take much to change their appearance.

Sadly, I couldn't find enough kamas for all of the, so only the first and third ones have one. Same goes for the pauldron, so only the three first have one (plus the fifth, but it's a different kind which, I think, comes from a mando). For visors and rangefinders, the choice was mostly arbitrary, because I have a lot of each, so I tried to guess who of the clones would need them, according to their roles (because they have roles. And names, too ! From left to right : Orders, Surge, Bacta, Gears, and Stalker.) I also used the kneeling posture, which is, essentially, in half my TCW MOCs (just check out this one if you're doubting me. Or if you want to see a really cool thing, too.)

A lot of weapons are at least partially custom too :the left clone's weapon (hands can be attached at the bottom of the weapons as a grip); the Z-6 for the next one (would be better if Lego had black versions of the grey pieces, but alas, they don't exist as of yet), the shield (held together by an actual 2*3 shield piece, and the printed GAR cog is just the perfect piece to go with it), the rocket launcher (as screen accurate as I could do, which is to say not much). I also used a fancy silver knife as a vibroknife, because why not, after all ?

Another worthy addition :

While Lego's default ARC backpacks are pretty cool, I find this technic really nice to add a proper communication antenna : one lever attached to the side of a minifig roller skate piece. The connection is not very secure, but since it's only used for display, it's alright.

The ship :

As some might have seen already, this is a variation of the 8036 separatist shuttle. It is a bit longer than the original, and have more details on top. I changed the original antenna for a fencing sword piece, which looks better, and adjusted the dorsal wing a wing, as well as the side, to add the CIS-stickered pieces.

Mostly, this version has so much more playability than the original : it was only made to accommodate a droid pilot and one passenger. This version can fit : one pilot and one astromech in the front, plus a whole bunch of minifigs in the back; and the two parts are connected. Ironically, it won't ever be seen, but it still is a nice thing to know.

You're still here ? Well, I guess you enjoyed this MOC then. If it is the case, stay tuned, because I still have one big TCW diorama which I need to figure how to showcase, and another one in the making, which will also be terribly hard to showcase, but that will be a problem for later me !

“Coconut Milk” The Heart of Thai Cuisine 🌴🥥🇹🇭

When you think of fruit in Thailand, the image of the coconut inevitably comes to mind, conjuring visions of palm trees swaying in the breeze.🌴

It's only natural to think of the coconut as one of Thailand's signature fruits, alongside the durian. In Thai culinary tradition, coconut milk, known locally as "Ka-Ti," is not merely an ingredient but a fundamental element ✨.

🥥 Its rich, creamy texture with slight notes of melted butter, profoundly influences the flavor dynamics of Thai cuisine. This indispensable component lends dishes a distinctive character that is both versatile and integral to the regional variations across the country.

.

[ Why is Coconut Milk important to Thai food ? ]

1. Creamy Texture

Coconut milk is celebrated for its ability to impart a lush, creamy consistency to Thai dishes. This texture is crucial, especially in main dishes such as curries.

In Thai desserts, it provides a silky mouthfeel that elevates simple ingredients into comforting sweets.

2. Flavor Balance

Coconut milk softens the intensity of chili peppers while enhancing other flavors. Furthermore, coconut milk enables a more nuanced flavor profile, allowing other ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves to surface and be appreciated in the palate.

3. Creativity in Regional Cooking

Coconut milk is a versatile ingredient used in both savory and sweet dishes. Each region of Thailand utilizes coconut milk in uniquely expressive ways.

.

[ 🇹🇭 A Taste of Thailand: Coconut Milk Featuring Four Regions 🍽️ ]

📍Central Regions

In Central Thailand, coconut milk is used liberally to create smooth, rich textures in both savory and sweet dishes. This region emphasizes a balanced flavor profile, where the creaminess of coconut milk complements the heat of chilies and the tang of citrus and tamarind.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Tom Kha Gai (Sour and Sour Soup), Gaeng Kiew Wan (Green Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Tuay (Thai Coconut Custard Dessert)

.

📍 Southern Regions

Southern Thailand's cuisine utilizes coconut milk to tame the intense spiciness of its dishes and to complement the abundant seafood.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Golek Chicken (Grilled Spicy Chicken), Gaeng Pu Bai Cha Plu (Crab Meat Soup with Wild Betel Leaf)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Co (Rice Flour Dumplings in Sweet Coconut Cream)

.

📍 Northern Regions

For the traditional cuisine of Northern Thailand, it is characterized by a distinctly unique taste, and the ingredients must come from natural sources.

For example, Northern Thai cuisine generally avoids adding sugar, instead relying on the natural sweetness of the ingredients used in cooking. One of the ingredients that adds a rich flavor is coconut milk.

Coconut milk is an ingredient that not only enhances the richness of the dish but also ensures that the flavor of the main ingredients remains prominent.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodle Soup), Gaeng Yuak Gluay (Banana Stalk Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Sila-On (Pandan Coconut Sweet Pudding)

.

📍 Northeast (Isan) Regions

Isan cuisine is primarily known for its bold flavors, emphasizing the use of herbs and strong seasonings such as chili, lime, and fermented fish sauce. These ingredients are combined in a variety of ways to enhance the intense flavors of the dishes. Due to this preference for robust tastes, coconut milk, which is milder and adds a creamy texture, is not very popular in Isan cooking.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Mee Ka-Ti Isan (Noodle with Coconut Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Mok Ma Prao (Thai Coconut Rice Dumpling)

.

💡 Did you know ?

Not only the coconut milk. but also other coconut products, including oil, and desiccated coconut, are typically featured in Thai cuisine.

For example, coconut oil is widely used for frying and in desserts, while desiccated coconut is often sprinkled over sweets and sometimes savory dishes, adding texture and flavor. These products showcase the versatility of the coconut in Thai culinary practices, reflecting its deep-rooted significance in the country's food culture. 🥥🌴🇹🇭

"กะทิ" หัวใจสำคัญของอาหารไทย 🌴🥥🇹🇭

หากนึกถึงผลไม้ของไทย “มะพร้าว” 🌴 ก็เป็นหนึ่งในผลไม้อันดับต้น ๆ ที่ถูกนึกถึงนอกเหนือจากทุเรียน โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในแง่ของการทำอาหารไทย“กะทิ” น้ำสีขาวข้นที่ได้จากการคั้นมะพร้าวแก่ ก็เป็นหนึ่งในองค์ประกอบที่สำคัญและจำเป็นอย่างยิ่งของอาหารไทย ✨

🥥 เนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนละเอียดผสานกับรสชาติเข้มข้นหอมมันของน้ำกะทิ มีอิทธิพลอย่างมากต่อพลวัตของรสชาติอาหารไทย ส่งผลให้เมนูอาหารไทยเกิดเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัวอันโดดเด่น

.

[ เพราะเหตุใด “กะทิ” จึงมีบทบาทสำคัญของครัวไทย ? ]

เมื่อมาดูเมนูอาหารไทย ไม่ว่าจะเป็นอาหารคาวหรือขนมหวาน เราจะพบว่า "กะทิ" เป็นหนึ่งในส่วนประกอบที่มักจะปรากฏอยู่เสมอ 🥥

1. เนื้อสัมผัสที่มันและเข้มข้น

กะทิเป็นวัตถุดิบที่โดดเด่นในการเพิ่มความมันนุ่มนวลและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เข้มข้นให้กับอาหารไทย ซึ่งเนื้อสัมผัสนี้มีความสำคัญโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในอาหารประเภทแกงต่าง ๆ

สำหรับขนมหวานไทย การใส่กะทิจะเพิ่มความละมุนและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนนุ่มมากขึ้น

2. ความสมดุลของรสชาติ

การใส่กะทิจะช่วยลดความเผ็ดร้อนของพริกซึ่งมักจะถูกใช้ในอาหารไทย ตลอดจนช่วยเพิ่มความซับซ้อนของรสชาติที่เสริมเน้นรสชาติของวัตถุดิบอื่น ๆ เช่น ตะไคร้ ขิงอ่อน และใบมะกรูด ให้โดดเด่นกลมกล่อมยิ่งขึ้น

3. ความคิดสร้างสรรค์ในภูมิภาคต่าง ๆ

กะทิเป็นส่วนผสมที่หลากหลาย สามารถใช้ได้ทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน โดยในแต่ละภูมิภาคของประเทศไทยจะนำกะทิมาใช้ในวิธีที่แตกต่างกันและมีเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัว

.

[ 🇹🇭 กะทิไทย ไปไกลทั้ง 4 ภูมิภาค 🍽️ ]

📍ภาคกลาง

ในภาคกลางของประเทศไทย กะทิจะถูกนำมาใช้อย่างแพร่หลายเพื่อสร้างเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนและลดระดับรสชาติที่เข้มข้น พร้อมเสริมสมดุลของรสอาหารทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน อาหารไทยตำรับจากภาคกลาง จึงมีรสชาติอาหารที่สมดุล ไม่เผ็ดจัดจ้าน หรือ หวานเค็มจนเกินไป

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ต้มข่าไก่, แกงเขียวหวาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมถ้วย

.

📍ภาคใต้

อย่างที่ทุกท่านทราบกันดี อาหารใต้ของไทยมีความเผ็ดร้อนเป็นหนึ่งในเอกลักษณ์ที่โดดเด่น สำหรับการใช้กะทิในครัวอาหารใต้นั้น เพื่อลดระดับความเผ็ดร้อนที่รุนแรงสำหรับบางเมนู และยังช่วยเสริมรสชาติของอาหารทะเลให้ดียิ่งขึ้น

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ไก่กอและ, แกงปูใบชะพลู

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมโค

.

📍ภาคเหนือ

สำหรับอาหารประจำภาคเหนือของประเทศไทย จะมีจุดเด่นที่รสชาติที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์อย่างเด่นชัด และวัตถุดิบส่วนใหญ่คงไว้ซึ่งรสตามธรรมชาติโดยไม่แต่งเติม เช่น อาหารเหนือมักจะไม่นิยมใส่น้ำตาล แต่จะอาศัยรสชาติจากตัววัตถุดิบที่นำมาประกอบอาหารแทน หนึ่งในวัตถุดิบที่สร้างความกลมกล่อมได้ดีคือ กะทิ นั่นเอง

นอกจาก กะทิ จะช่วยเพิ่มความกลมกล่อมแล้ว ยังช่วยเสริมให้รสชาติของส่วนผสมหลักโดดเด่นยิ่งขึ้นไปอีกด้วย

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ข้าวซอย, แกงหยวกกล้วย

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมศิลาอ่อน

.

📍ภาคตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือ (อีสาน)

อาหารอีสานส่วนใหญ่จะมีจุดเด่นในเรื่องของรสชาติที่จัดจ้าน เน้นการใช้สมุนไพรและเครื่องปรุงที่ให้รสชาติแรงและชัดเจน เช่น พริก มะนาว และปลาร้า อีกทั้งยังมีการใช้เครื่องปรุงที่หลากหลาย ส่งผลให้รสชาติของอาหารเข้มข้น บทบาทของกะทิจึงไม่ค่อยเป็นที่นิยมในครัวอีสานมากเท่าไหร่

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: หมี่กะทิอีสาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมหมกมะพร้าว

.

💡รู้หรือไม่?

อาหารไทย ไม่ได้ใช้เพียงแค่กะทิซึ่งเป็นส่วนที่คั้นน้ำออกมาจากเนื้อมะพร้าวเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ยังมีผลิตภัณฑ์อื่น ๆ จากมะพร้าว เช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว และมะพร้าวขูดแห้งที่มักถูกนำมาใช้ในอาหารไทยอีกด้วย

ยกตัวอย่างเช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว ถูกนำมาใช้ทอดและทำขนมหวาน ส่วนตัวเนื้อมะพร้าวขูดแห้งมักถูกโรยหน้าในขนมหวานและบางครั้งก็ใช้ตกแต่งอาหารคาว

ความหลากหลายทางผลิตภัณฑ์จากมะพร้าวตรงนี้เอง เป็นสิ่งสะท้อนถึงความสำคัญของมะพร้าวที่ฝังรากลึกในวัฒนธรรมอาหารไทย ได้เป็นอย่างดี 🥥🌴🇹🇭

No shade but. Why’s your art so all over the place? Sometimes the quality is too good to believe the same person did it. Other times it’s like what happened lol.

Usually the graph looks like this some days I just suck though and that’s okay ✨

this account gets like all my silly shit I did in fifteen minutes as well as stuff that I actually planned and spent time on so you get a lot of variation

plus a lot of experimentation
