#thank you so so so so much

[ailani-reillata]

Huge congratulations on finishing Begged and Borrowed Time!!! I don’t interact much with the Star Wars fandom anymore, but I still love seeing updates on Ailani. I’ve been following since you first started posting concepts for her, and I’m so happy to see all the amazing work you’ve done. Thank you for sharing it! I’m unfortunately way behind on the fic right now, but now I get to sit down and binge it!

This is so so so unbelievably kind, thank you so so so much for this ask!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and congratulations!!!

I’m so honored that you still keep up with Ailani even though your interests have changed, and I’m also honored to know that you’ve been here for so long!!!

Thank you for sticking around and supporting this story!! I know it can be exhausting to keep up with fandoms after you’ve left them, especially when you’re not super interested in it anymore, so I really appreciate that effort!! That’s so kind of you, and I’m so thankful!!!

Thank you so much for sending this ask over, and thank you so much for spending time with me and my stories!!! I’m so honored and humbled by your support, thank you so much!!

( hi hello i am the previous anon who fangirled in your inbox lmao )

but i did a lil concept of sorcerer!cyno!! i spent hours on the design but i had so much fun drawing it :D

some extra things about the design :

the lantern has multiple stars floatin around :] i remembered how you described the glow of the lantern was related with him stealing the stars and using it as light, so i thought it'd be a nice detail to add

the design initially had an extra long flowy cape to resemble the cyno from the manga, but i scrapped it because it shrouded the silhouette ( i dont mind doing a doodle of it if you're interested to see it heehoo)

wasn't sure if the jackal ears are included to his cape design in the fairytale fic, so i added his earrings from his jackal ears on to his own ears

he initially had a lot of silver to his attire, but it felt like it pulled focus away from his face - so i changed it to gold :]

i tried my best to have his outfit resemble both the in-game outfit and manga outfit, though it proved to be a challenge ;-; i hope that i did well ^^; i would do more concept sketches of the forest and what not, but my shrimp back cries in agony LMAO

anyways i hope you like this silly drawing thing, i might do more doodles, but yea :]]

WWWJDKDANANDOFJSJSBABRR I LITERALLY HAD TO HOLD BACK A SQUEAL

you… you literally read my mind about his design. this is p e r f e c t. literally. i imagined him not having the jackal ears, and the lantern looking like that, and i… i’m speechless. i literally do not know what else to say. you are a legend, you hear me? a legend.

‘silly drawing?’ excuse me this is a masterpiece

(if it helps you picture it at all, i can try to describe the chain-charm around his ankle in relatively decent detail for you: it’s basically a silver-blue very thin/ fine chain— a bit like a charm bracelet— but instead of actual charms it has little cylinders hanging off it, which look (and sound) like tiny windchimes.)

[ttrpgsmoved]

sending a bunch to make sure at least some aren't answered 😅 you don't have to do all of them ofc!!

👪 FAMILY / 😨 FEARFUL / 🍓 STRAWBERRY / 💐 BOUQUET / 🍃 FALLING LEAF / 🌌 MILKY WAY / 🏊 SWIMMING / 📖 OPEN BOOK / 💡 LIGHTBULB / 👑 CROWN / 🎷 SAXOPHONE / 🎨 PALETTE / 🎀 RIBBON / 🌩️ LIGHTNING / 🌟 GLOWING STAR / 💓 BEATING HEART / 💖 SPARKLING HEART

oh god those are a lot uh. Sorry D:

oc emoji ask game!

(i'm skipping the one i have asked. though there are a lot that i haven't kjfhks. also NEVER be sorry . in fact thank you so much for these asks <3)

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?

for sure fight. whether it be with words (usually the case) or with magic.

🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable?

he eat literally everything. he loves food. not that great of a pallet tho since everything goes. fun fact about him. he loves to eat a lemon like it's an orange. one day shadowheart caught him eating one like that and she hasn't let it go since. no one has really

🍃 FALLING LEAF - do they enjoy being in nature? what is their favourite outdoor activity?

they like nature sure! but only in small doses lmao. there is such a thing as Too Much Outdoors. it loves to sunbathe tho... since it doesn't rly feel the heat on his skin... so he loves to just bask in it... like a cat...

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

he can swim but not very well. never lived that close to (clean) water. the docks in athkatla were absolutely nasty and he never dared to swim there. he usually just swims a bit to cool off. doesn't like the idea of swimming in the ocean. too big.. to unknown.

📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what's their favourite genre?

HE. LOVES. IT. he loves gaining more knowledge. he loves to get lost in all the worlds and information available to him. it loves to learn about worlds far beyond its reach yet still available at his fingertips.

his fave fiction books are mystery novels. while he also loves to read encyclopedias about the flora and fauna of other worlds/ecosystems.

💡 LIGHTBULB - is your oc a planner? do they write down every small detail or just wing it?

not much of a planner, no. it has a VAGUE idea of what to do, but he mostly just wings it. he is also very impulsive. gale kinda balances him out in this aspect (he is impulsive yea, but in a different aspect. i gale very much plans his every move and every word)

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

he doesn't care if he is remembered or not. he just wants to live a good life. these things are not important to him

🎷 SAXOPHONE - do they play any instruments? are they any good at it?

OH YES. he's a bard. he plays the flute and the hand drum :) he entertains the camp a lot

🎨 PALETTE - can they draw? what do they like to draw?

not at all 😭 his handwriting is also awful... it's readable... kinda.. so you can imagine his artistic skills

🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning?

not at all! it enjoys the rain, and standing in it too. lightning + book + gale = perfect night for him lmao

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

whenever he looks at the stars he just thinks of lae'zel honestly. she was its closest friend... and she went back to the gith and misses her so dearly... sometimes him and gale watch the stars together and make up stories about what she's doing. he still hopes to see her one day

💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?

physical touch honestly. hug! that! dude!

💖 SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

showy. HE LOVES PDA. but also respectful if his partner doesn't :)

For the song ask meme?: 📣🔎🌅

music emoji ask meme

First of all, thank you SO MUCH for sending me an ask about music! I'll always reiterate that I love talking about the songs I listen to! ❤️

📣 A lyric that feels like it is specifically calling you out

There are various lyrics from multiple songs that feel like that to me, so it's hard to choose. I'm going to pick lyrics from one of the latest additions to my personal playlist: The Water's Edge by The Classic Crime.

'Left to myself in both sickness and health I can’t do it Skin deep interactions Distraction’s the way to get through it Everyone tells me that I should be happy for where I’ve been But selling and sharing the shell that I’m wearing is wearing thin Hoping to find and in time recognize my own reflection Where do I begin'

🔎 A song you can’t stop analyzing

One of the most cryptic songs I've ever listened to is definitely Transference #2 by Madee. I can only make sense of it partially, the rest is up to interpretation (musically as well).

🌅 A song for sunrise

That's a lovely association. I'll go with You Are A Tourist by Death Cab for Cutie. Bless this band for being part of a very happy period of my life!

[sylkshe-a]

We hit 300 Followers!!

Today is June 29th, 2023. We just hit 300 followers. Wow fucking wow, this is crazy because I hit 200 followers May 29th, 2023. So it’s been a whole month and now I have 300 followers. Sometimes I wonder what made you follow me.

A Message from Mikasa:

I want to start off this message by saying thank you to everyone and I know I know that I say this every time in these types of posts but I really really truly appreciate all of you. So you know how it’s my dream to make people happy, well do you see on my banner where it says “Let’s expand this cult together”? That is the saying on this blog and it has meaning behind it. It’s self explanatory but basically what it means is let’s expand this “cult” aka blog and we can make even more people happy. I don’t know if that made any sense at all but hopefully it does. From the bottom to all the way to the top of my heart, thank you so much and I hope that I’m still able to make you guys happy.

- Sincerely mikasa-imadebiscults
