Knifecrow my beloved

A Dishonored blog? In this economy? Outsider's eyes! 🗡🐦‍⬛ 🧡You can call me Quinn!! I prefer they/them for the most part, but she/he/it are good for me too :) 🧡I am friendly!! Looking to make a few friends in the Dishonored fandom to yap about Dishonored fics and ocs with :) I don't bite and I am open to dm's!!! Just like please don't start the conversation with "hi" because I'm bad at socializing and I don't know what to say to that LOL. Asking about my favorite Dishonored fics/characters/etc or telling me about your favorites will get me to yap with you. 🧡If you want to play The Outlast Trials with me, just send me a dm!!

I finally finished my "I'm slowly forgetting your face" trend that I did with Jessamine Kaldwin :) Here is a link to the Instagram post! I worked really hard on this and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, especially since I did it in Clip Studio Paint, which I'd never used before (I've used Procreate exclusively for 6 years), and it's only my third time using CapCut. Yay me <3 hope y'all like it too!! The Dishonored community on here may be relatively small, but I'm happy to have found it because 4 years of being obsessed with Dishonored without knowing there was a community for it was hell 😭

Here is a preview but the whole thing is on my Instagram here !!

Life is so overwhelming and awful until I remember that I need to put my earplugs in

Corvo sparing Daud after Daud confesses his guilt and Emily sparing Billie after Billie reveals her true identity. Father sparing father and daughter sparing daughter. Parallels.

Also, Knife of Dunwall Billie knocking people out if Daud is low chaos and killing people if he's high chaos vs DotO Daud knocking the Eyeless out if Billie is "low chaos" (no chaos system but yk) and killing them all if Billie is "high chaos". Parallels.

Beautiful.

Everybody suddenly reblogging the post I made in a buffet line on my birthday 6 months later

[intosnarkness]

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.

If you are recced a fic and enjoyed it, leave a comment telling the author where you came from! We like to know!

SQUEEEEEEE i'm so close to FINALLY finishing the first draft of my Knifecrow cannibalism fic. The first draft is really the least enjoyable part for me because i know i have to just get the bones of it all down. once that's done, THEN i can rewrite it and make it fun and like, actually good. Also: i took a months-long break from it, and when i started writing it again, there was like. a noticeable difference in the quality of my writing. lol

[corvaud]

That "i want hair like yours, hands like yours, fingers that curl in the cold like yours, i want eyes to stare and cry when I'm feeling scared like you" song + trend that's been going around reaaaally reminds me of Delilah @ Emily. Trying to take over her body in Dh1 and then staging a coup in Dh2. The 'eyes to stare and cry when I'm feeling scared like you' part, if I were to make this into a lil pmv, would definitely be a scene of Delilah crying when she's told her mother died while she was out begging and then Emily crying when Jessamine is killed. Is anyone out there. Can you hear me

[corvaud]

"I could turn you straight" go away I'm trying to fuck Mindy Blanchard from Dishonored 2

[snakecmpbl]

probably my favorite mission and location in the game

[pansyfemme]

i love headcanoning old men as ftm. like considering fandom loves to equate being transmasc to being young no one will probably agree with me but i look into his eyes and see the wisdom only a post-menopausal man could provide

[corvaud]

UGH god I MISSED writing Knifecrow. Missed it so so much. I missed writing about these two horrible freaks fucking killing each other. I'm so glad I let this fic sit for a while because now I'm back to it and I'm so much happier with what I'm writing. They're killing each other and it's disgusting

[corvaud]

It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining brightly overhead, the blue sky is streaked with soft, thin-looking white clouds, and mourning doves are cooing rhythmically. My plants need watering, their soil dried up, and after the recent rain and all the light they've been soaking up lately, their colors are more vibrant than ever. My dog, who adores the backyard and loves to run around sniffing flowers and watching airplanes miles above us, would love a beautiful day spent outside when the weather is nice and the sun can warm her fur. Mourning Cloak butterflies are abundant right now, too, fluttering about our birds of paradise on beautiful deep red and yellow wings with those blue spots that shine brightly when they catch the light just so. By all accounts, it's a perfect day...

...To stay in my office that gets very little sunlight and only has a boring view of the wall of the house beside ours and write fanfiction 💞 true joy is derived not from the physical world and its wonders but from writing about my little characters kissing or killing each other

OH THATS GORE!!!!!!! THATS GORE OF MY COMFORT CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😁😁😀😀😄😁🙌🙌🙏🙌🙌🙏🙌

Guys please reply to this with what your url means or references I’m really curious

[corvaud]

Once I realizes that the ship name for Corvo and Daud was Knifecrow and not Corvaud, Corvaud or Corvowed immediately became my username for everything

[corvaud]

Knifecrow is an excellent ship when you want some really fucked up awful fics. I'm going to put a cut under this one because I'm talking about some nsfw fic topics

Having a hard time right now so I want some terrible fics with the most toxic dynamics to read as a distraction and I always know that I can just comb through Knifecrow fics for some fun stuff. My vacation in the Carol/The Price of Salt fandom gave me some good Belivaird fics, but there's nothing like scrolling through Knifecrow fics on ao3 and seeing all the tags for hate-fucking, cannibalism, body horror, whump, torture, dubious consent, sadism and masochism, sexual violence, etc. I guess it's only natural when Dishonored's universe is so dark and hostile and Corvo and Daud have a pretty terrible base for a relationship. No way do you have a pairing where one guy killed the other guy's lover (who it was the other guy's sworn duty to protect, no less) and kidnapped his kid and the other guy almost killed him in return WITHOUT having a bunch of fics exploring just how toxic their relationship can be. Oh they're pissing on each other? Oh they're fucking each other's wounds? Oh Corvo is choking Daud out almost to the point of killing him because he hates him so much but also he's fucking him? Yeah I can believe it. Even I'm still writing my fic where they literally cannibalize each other. Like just for the love of the game. There's something so interesting about using fiction to explore the darkest aspects of human relationships. You hate this guy so much for killing your wife but also he's the only person on this cursed planet that could understand what you are now. You could just kill each other about it, OR you could fuck while trying to kill each other. Or you could never fuck at all and just keep trying to kill each other but never actually go that far because neither of you can stand it but leaving each other wounded and tortured is still on the table. Healthy relationship? No thanks. Toxic Knifecrow please. I mean, I love healthy Knifecrow, but with the way their relationship starts and with the chaos system in the games, there's just so much more to explore than that. High chaos Corvo low chaos Daud. High chaos Corvo and Daud. Low chaos Corvo and Daud but they're high chaos to each other because they need SOMEONE to take everything out on. The ship is your oyster. Anyway I'm gonna go distract myself from the horrors of life by writing some Knifecrow cannibalism

[corvaud]

The entire Santa Claus series was my lesbian awakening

[maybesteverogers]

does drinking from taps DO anything or is it just a way for me to make noise

[corvaud]

If you've got the Spirit Water bonecharm, drinking from taps will restore mana :)

The beginning of rendering something is so awful to me. Before I even start rendering, I think, "god, how will I ever render this? This sucks. I don't know what I'm doing. It's so complicated". And then I lay down the first colors, and I'm like, "god, this sucks and it looks terrible. Why am I even trying? This is never going to look the way I want it to". But I push through it anyway. And then, eventually, I hit a point where I'm having so much fun rendering that I don't want to stop, and it actually starts looking the way it does in my head.

But man, those first ~30 minutes are the WORST.
