#tcol roui

[lingrimmart]

We wish you a happy New Year from the bottom of our hearts! We have no idea what to expect in 2024, but we wish you all bright moments and physical (and mental) health to avoid any illnesses or stressful situations, so that you can live life to the fullest.

Wishing you power, energy, love, and a lot of inspiration! Wish you find (if you haven't already) close people around you who are capable of understanding you, accepting you as you are, and supporting you.

And here is dragon Roui as a symbol of this year <3

Roui found a slug

My friend and I were discussing some of our favourite characters: Roui from The Crown of Leaves and Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives, and how they compare and contrast. We got the idea to swap their species and I just had to draw it right away :-]

It's not a full AU per se, more like a thought experiment of them swapping universes. More thoughts below:

Jon is a parban sahash with a small hint of maroosh. He probably dislikes suddenly being a sahash at first, but I imagine he'd grow to tolerate it and eventually get neutrally comfortable. Being surrounded by mystics all day would drive him insane, though it might fascinate him all the same.

We think Roui would probably hate being a human, but at least he would survive The Horrors! With the way he handled the Slough it's safe to say he'd be able to handle things. I can picture him looking around the archives and asking a lot of questions haha. I think being in the archives would also give him that little pang of longing for Nouri again.

Some kind of references for TCOL characters (Gideon and Louis as a bonus!).

Apparently this tinies were good for keychains merch, so we made a few designs for ourselves and for selling. You may see the result here!

It's TCOL anniversary!

Time goes by quickly, and now the project has been in existence for exactly 5 years! The game was released between November 27 and 28, so we shamelessly took an extra day to celebrate. On the occasion of the anniversary, we decided to please you and ourselves with a colorful scene of one of Roui’s birthdays. He spent it in Nouri together with Mermey and Laslo.

"It was the warmest and most amazing day of late autumn, when sunlight suddenly poured through the clouds and drizzling rain. Three friends, soaked to the skin, sang and danced on an empty embankment, presenting an amazing sight. Who would have thought that a well-known dentist and an influential lady philanthropist could have such selfless fun in the company of a student?"

You and @guardianofyesod (upcoming pun completely intended and correct btw) are literal shining stars in the tcol community on the whole and for your amazing writing. And while you might not believe this coming from an anon but I've read all of your stuff (your Kariom is phenomenal and that's just the beginning of what I could say) and you deserve all of the recognition from the fandom and that absolutely includes @lingrimmart. Both of you do. The fandom is made better by your love and content.

((That....that truly truly truly means the world to me to hear you say that and I mean it. Honestly, I don't think I'm capable of properly expressing how deeply grateful I am but I'll try. You made me legitimately cry at work you absolute villain lol.

The sheer amount of effort that @guardianofyesod and I have put into into tcol---from understanding and theorizing about the lore, talking about the characters (and I mean literally everyone, not just our chosen muses, but we do talk about them the most), working on how we want to write them both separately and together, the intricate details that could easily be missed that we want others to notice and appreciate (honestly I could give you a veritable essay on JUST the character work we've done---especially in regards to my partner's work and sheer, undeniable love put towards Roui), etc, etc, is something that I legitimately cannot do with anyone else. They match my efforts and enthusiasm in a way that I'm incapable of doubting for even a second and that's something that's always on full display whether we're having an hours long ooc discussion or writing ic content on our blogs.

And I know---I'm really do know---that such dedication is a lot for people. It's a lot to keep up and a lot for the people just reading or interacting with our stuff to deal with but that's where the love comes in. If we didn't feel so strongly about this game; literally everything about it but especially the characters, it'd be hard but it's honestly the easiest thing in the world? The devs made it easy and so did my wonderful writing partner. The dedication and love is incredibly clear on both sides (but from us as fandom creators and from the actual creators themselves) and it's impossible not to react to that. I, personally, haven't been this excited or inspired by a game in the longest time and if I didn't act on that passion I knew I'd regret it. The drive that we have towards bringing these characters and the tcol world to life on our blogs and with our writing is legit a fraction of what it deserves on the whole and I can only fuckin hope that I succeed at it on my end of things. I can tell you that, even with my own personal doubts, I'm always trying to showcase 110% of how this has all effected me, especially in regards to portraying Kariom. I know @guardianofyesod succeeds at it because I've gotten to witness it firsthand and even be involved which feels like an honor at this point, that's how much it all means to me if that puts it into further perspective.

I know that I'm rambling on (and to an excess too, lol) but I didn't want to just thank you, you know? I'm not kidding when I say that you made me emotional (in a good way, don't worry!) and I just.....had to match your heartfelt enthusiasm with my own. The tcol fandom in particular, no matter how small it is, no matter if @guardianofyesod and I are the only people on the rp side of things, is incredibly special to me. As I said I haven't been this happy or inspired in an incredibly long time and that's thanks to the kindness of people like you, the devs (especially Lins, the opportunity of talking to them alone much less them following me + engaging with my content and talking to me about it and stuff in general still....floors me tbh and that's putting it incredibly lightly! Thank you so much!!!) and @guardianofyesod and I know merely saying thanks doesn't cover it, I know I need a better, stronger word for such a feeling, so I'll thank you all by continuing with...this. All of this. I'll always try to emulate and showcase that love and dedication because I wouldn't be able to write any of this stuff, no matter the character (but we all know who my two faves are lol) without you guys.))

((I'm gonna natter about something in tcol real quick;))

((1. Look at my boy.

2. Kariom doesn't get enough credit for this scene. Not only is he severely wounded and having difficulty moving he also manages to save Roui. Roui; who is falling backwards after being grabbed by the monster that attacked Kariom, would be entirely dead weight during said fall and Kariom not only catches him he also has the strength and determination to hold onto him and pull him to safety. That takes fuckin strength.))
