Well I got “mediocre”-to-“good” reception for my Prof. X design and so I am legally obligated to show my Magneto design also (from my personal au again btw)
Ignore how fucked up i drew his fingers haha
Anyways extra info about him:
- His hair used to be a lot longer (projecting my hairstyle onto him haha)
- His father is German (canon) but his mother is Polish because I am of Polish descent and I am projecting again✨✨✨get Polished old man
- Native languages are German, Polish, and Yiddish, but he also speaks a bunch of other languages (he learned a bit of Japanese because Charles speaks it and he wanted to impress him)
- Uses a cane because of an old ankle injury (The boots with heels do not help.) The cane is also made entirely of metal, and he can bend it into whatever tool or weapon he needs
- In canon he flies using his helmet but that sounds really painful??? So in this AU he also has metal boots and a belt that help him fly without breaking his spine
- His powers are getting quite a bit weaker and he has no idea why (Unrelated but mutants can lose their powers if they’re sick or depressed🙂)
- Wildly over-dramatic about everything (this is canon already but it’s important to me)
- He uses his cloak as a blanket sometimes
- Loves German Football except his team keeps losing
- His favourite colour is white or silver
- His favourite food is bread dipped in soup. The type of soup doesn’t really matter
- Sneaks into Charles’s room in the X mansion sometimes and then Charles makes him watch space documentaries. In return, whenever Charles comes over, Erik makes him watch anything in the Lord of the Rings franchise
- As implied above, his favourite book is the Fellowship of the Ring (semi-canon) and his favourite movie is the film adaptation of Fellowship of the Ring (same actor haha Gandalf is NOT his fictional crush) His favourite book pre-1954 (when Fellowship of the Ring came out) was The Hobbit
- Every time Pietro visits he uses Gen Z lingo and leaves Erik confused and scared because wtf is his son talking about
- His kids got him a Wii and are trying to teach him how to play video games. His favourite game is Wii Party (until one of his children inevitably rages and breaks the TV while playing it)

So I know Vash is represented by the red geranium because of Rem, but consider.... the dandelion.
Hard to kill
Beloved by children, but hated by adults/viewed as a weed
Symbol of hopes and dreams
Blonde
Spiky-ish petals
Hair change with age
Knives is an apple blossom ofc
I'm partial to Wolfwood as a three-leaf clover, but I could be swayed on this front

this is going to sound really fucked up but i just need to say it i think.
I never realized that people could actually care. I always thought that the depictions of friendship in movies and TV shows were over-the-top portrayals, and weren't things that actually happened. This was then exacerbated by the fact that my entire life I always wanted people to just Know How I Was Feeling like they do on TV and I found out that that's Not How It Works. I always thought I was naive for caring so much about my friends and for doing nice things for them out of the blue, and I always resented myself for resenting my parents for not doing more for me as a child.
So when I got to uni, and my friends started caring about me and asking if I was ok when I looked sad and doing nice things for me, I didn't know what to do with myself. It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me in a long time. When I was staying with a friend, and she said that she left the window open in the room I was going to be staying in because I liked it to be cold when i sleep, I bluescreened. I didn't know how to respond. It is quite literally one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me. No one had ever paid that much attention to the things I liked. Every year on my birthday it was either a gamble if I would get something I actually wanted from my parents (spoiler alert: I was often disappointed) or I would just have to straight up tell them what I wanted. I got accustomed to the latter, and now I don't mind, but receiving two gifts from friends about languages this year made me realize that I could have it so much better.
And don't even get me started on online friends. I sort of thought that everyone was lying about them? Or that it was something unattainable, and reserved only for God's Chosen Favorites or something. But no, there are little people in my phone who care about me. They legitimately care about me as much as I care about them. I've been nervous to ask them about their well-being because I'm still nervous about being naive and getting a wake-up call that no one cares again, but after being told that they were worried about me when I overslept, I think i should know that I'm in the clear. And that's not even including all the times they tell me to go to bed when it's late, and when they ping me about things I may enjoy or things I was involved in.
All this is to say I guess that I'm touched that people remember my existence. It makes me feel good to be wanted. I will be eternally grateful to both my irl and online friends who made me realize that just because my parents or my friends from home didn't care enough to remember what I like or to go out of their way to do nice things for me, it doesn't mean that no one will. I need to step up and do more for you guys. I trained myself to push down my desire to help and check in with people because I thought I was betting on something that I'd never get in return, but now I know I can.
Thank you all, and I love you 💚

swiping a tag from @gribbo c: am thinking about her muchly today so: Kharish under the cut <3
name: Kharish gra-Shatul
nickname: does her letter-pseudonym count... Dad called her Rish growing up (-ish being an Orcish diminutive and single-syllable names generally being considered cuter) but she hasn't gone by that in quite some time.
height: bit taller than average at 6'6" (or 6'5.5" if you can ever get her cowlick to lie flat.)
gender/orientation: bi woman! 🩷💜💙
nationality/ethnicity: Orsinium (nation)! taking this opportunity to present a snippet of one of the maps I have been using to try to visualize locations and their relation to each other (<- thing I struggle with). I cannot center it due to the many tribulations of the website + this crop is not a very wide image lol BUT. computer, enhance!!
Dushnikh Yal location left in for reference. this is (allegedly) where Orsinium as both independent territory and city is located in 4E! Shatul is about three hours by cart to the west of the city.
favorite fruit: a good handful of blueberries. she has also developed a fondness for apples in recent times :')
favorite season: she does miss spring... running fetch quests at least will sometimes take her places with a bit more seasonal variety.
favorite flower: snow gentian - these are some of the little blue flowers I always put in her hair during her Shatul era!
favorite scent: she likes most floral scents, but has a particular soft spot for a nice sharp mint.
coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: on an everyday basis she will usually go for a tea as it's more readily available, but on one cross-country errand she stopped by Solitude and was wildly overcharged for skillfully acquired some chocolate. best purchase of the whole trip, 10/10 will buy again. it's saved for special occasions and/or to share when someone has a rough day.
average hours of sleep: typically 7-8 hours - 10-11 bedtime, up around 6. not a stranger to late nights though...
dogs or cats: would tell you she likes them both equally - she has more experience with dogs, but thinks the rare euphoria of a skittish cat choosing your lap for a napping spot is really rewarding.
dream trip: she's not been anywhere really properly warm, so would love to see someplace further south at some point. (...unfortunately she would need to acquire a day wardrobe with fewer turtleneck collars and less wool first.)
number of blankets: minimum of three on any given night, but this number does often go up as the temperature calls for it :P
random fact: the circlet/pendant that I give her sometimes... feather enchantments. for hauling more books 👍 especially useful in the beginning while she's still getting used to the altitude changes!
