i am terminally A Sucker for characters who have a towering and generally earned ego about their own ability and absolutely no self-worth about themselves as a person at all. intoxicating combo.

Bridgy based on her flustered sprite

Happy (belated) Beltane! I drew my The Good People/Na Daoine Maithe MC, Moninne "Ninna" McGill, celebrating last Beltane before the crops started failing & she had to cut off & sell her hair to help support her family. Normally her younger sister, Eileen, is considered the prettiest of the McGill family's daughters. However Ninna turned quite a few heads that year wearing her Mam's hand-me down Easter dress & a flower crown in her hair. After seeing Ninna's face flushed from dancing around the bonfire while framed by loose dark curls, many a young man had their hearts broken when Ninna had to turn down their proposals, since she was planning to become a nun.

1st base: raw ethically dubious fucking

2nd base: exist in a public space together

3rd base: you witness me have a real, candid emotion

4th base: I reveal an aspect of my tragic backstory to you

[liarsblade]

Love a character who is neither trustworthy nor untrustworthy but another secret third thing.

[liarsblade]

Guy who can be relied upon to make the right choice 98% of the time but God that 2% is a fucking doozy.

[swordtit]

the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

[mycroftrh]

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

[chantylay]

Se also "he DID say that and he was LYING, and somehow you didn't notice."

[unseeliethot]

Watakushi no inochi no kagiri.

Oh boy i sure hope that after a long time of no fanart that the next fanart i post isn't just a silent hill f theme/au-

[kijimha]

just because you havent seen me post about The Character in a while doesn't mean i'm any less insane about them in private

[redstonedust]

big fan of characters who look cool and tough and stoic but only because theyre internally thinking "fuckkk what do i say. how do i make friends. they didnt teach me how to do that in sword school."

[vidra-comprehends]

Sometimes I think 'Shae and Maeve are similar in many ways, I wonder if they would get along under different circumstances...' And then I Remember.

Oops, made a mess :3

[vidra-comprehends]

First impressions.

It is a good thing that I don't have lessons right now, because I would have a hard time explaining the new accent I have developed.

I have originally heard about this game through one of the voice actors, but was terrified of the Fair Folk not that interested in the story at the time. Still, getting to hear and learn a bit of Gaelic is not something I would pass up.

I really appreciate food and eating becoming a language of its own over the course of the game; I hope never to know what a famine is like, but many of the interactions were either relatable or just very telling. Other interesting details that stood out were a language spreading like a disease and there not being anything outside the island/beyond the water.

Morse's system of telegraphing was already used in '44, I checked!

A shapeshifter (gender: ':P' pronouns: ';)') known everywhere but never clearly allied with any sides? A nuisance and a delight at the very same time? Demands a place at the table? Starts a fight over dinner? Never makes a mess they 'cannot clean up'?

APPEARING IN THE IMAGE OF A HORSE TO LEAD ANOTHER AWAY?!

I'd have two cents.

[bella-daonna]

op I LOVE this art style it is so cool

I like the kinda creepy / uncanny vibe with the different fonts and stuff

Also the wisp speaking in morse code is so cute
