Now that Hark is officially a part of the Tanith, he’s made it a full time job trying to keep Gaunt from getting killed by imperial infighting. So when he sees Rawne stalk Gaunt down an isolated hallway, he decides it's a good idea to follow and make sure everyone stays in line. Rawne’s desire to kill Gaunt is infamous, even though Gaunt seems oblivious to it. He ends up getting an eyeful of something he never expected. Something that will change his opinion of both Gaunt and Rawne completely. Something that nobody else will ever believe. He fucking hates this job.

ANOTHER WARHAMMER FIC!!

So excited to release this into the world so soon after my last one, I’d been working on them concurrently for a year and a half. Enjoy!

[deeranddragons]

another!

No one comes to rescue Rawne and Gaunt after they're stranded on the frozen ocean of Typhon 8. When Gaunt gets hypothermia, it's up to Rawne to find shelter and ensure their survival. He's willing to go to any length to do it. No one is allowed to kill Gaunt but him, after all. More importantly, it's a rare opportunity to see Gaunt vulnerable, and Rawne won't waste it: he desperately wants to tear down Gaunt's perfect facade. But it turns out Rawne has a few vulnerabilities of his own, and Gaunt knows all about them...

I've finally finished the fic that I posted excerpts of a year ago! This one was such a joy to write, and one of the purest distillations of sexual energy I've written to date. I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I do!

Weird rumours about the Jedi fly through the GAR all the time. Shinies are prone to dramatics, Jedi are mysterious, it's inevitable. Like this new one- that Jedi can read minds. No way that's true. Except if it is, it means that Korin, his Jedi General, has been hearing him pining after them this whole time and said nothing. On second thought, this rumour might be worth verifying. For his own sanity.

New star wars oc fic!!! featuring so much gay yearning, and the dangers of using the force to read someone’s mind

18 and 17 for whiskey jack…. :]

God this ask made me think about how i need to start playing new vegas again. Ive abandoned my boy 

17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality, or in some other way?

This is so terrible but… no… The only thing i could say would be the whiskey jack bird, which hes named after. 

18. Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do they have a family tree and “offscreen” connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story? 

Wow youre really making me admit that i have not really fleshed out whiskey jack that much other than his central personal drive and personality… to be fair im only like. 10? 15? Hours into the game and a lot of that is running around totally lost. 

One connection he has is that he was a part of the NRC training to be a ranger before he left to become a courier, and during training there he met and befriended Boone. After he gets shot in the head he loses his memory, so when he meets Boone again in game Boone greets him like an old friend that he can trust and Whiskey Jack is like uh huh uh huh of course no doubt i definitely know who you are. Yep.

He probably has some parents still alive somewhere, but I think they live far away and he hasn’t seen them for most of his adult life. Before he was shot he was more stoic and reclusive. Now that he’s been shot he’s much more friendly.

HEY! for the ask thing, can you do 3, 7, and 17 for Korin?

I love korin… thank u for enabling me

3. What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

This is kind of a cop out answer but korin was originally a self insert so their appearance came first. That being said their outfit has completely changed from that first drawing. 

A real answer would be their role in the story: They were created with the idea of an ageless, amoral person who didn’t care about the surface conflict, but the pull between light and darkness, and who served the force for its own sake with a sort of religious worship. Originally they were about making you actually look inside yourself and choose what you wanted to do, and that no matter how many atrocities you had committed you could always wake up one day and choose to be better. That very quickly morphed into the weirder version that they are now, trying to balance the force by playing both sides. 

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most? 

I loooooove their cape that’s part of their clone wars outfit. I think it’s a distinctive element that is fun and easy to draw, and makes them stand out both in the elegance, and the unusual outfit choice for a member of the jedi order. It kind of implies from first glance that there’s something different about them, without being a red flag level of Off. I think it’s also a delightful contradiction, that they are generally very acetic, but they also make a large effort to cultivate an elegant and refined appearance and appreciate fine foods, clothing, comforts.

The thing about korin is that their personal preferences come second every single time in their life, so even though they genuinely like all of these things, if they have to sleep on the ground, in rags, eating dirt to get what they need to do done they will do it without hesitation or even annoyance. Because their own desires dont matter to them. 

17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

I give them a snake motif often, which started from a joke because i would always call them a snake, as in slang for backstabber. The King Cobra is an oblique reference to this, because even though korin is a snake, palaptine is an even bigger one, and he would eat them without issue. 

The motif I incorporate for them the most consistently is that of a large body of water, in reference to their presence in the force. Something i’ve been really trying to do is hove every force sensitive character experience the force and a different way, and think of the different ways that characters feel within the force. 

Korin is someone who has perfected the art of having mental shields without seeming like they are guarding their own thoughts. I describe them as feeling like a smooth lake within the force. Since they tend to be seen as stoic by the jedi order, when people bump up against their presence and never feel any reactions from them, they think that’s their genuine emotion. But it’s all hidden deep beneath the surface, underwater. I try to extend the metaphor, so when they use the force i’ll describe it as a wave, or a hurricane, or some other watery descriptor. 

Thanks so much for the ask!

For the character ask, Talav - 13? Abel - 14, 15 Kal - 6, 18

Yippee I love hearing from you always

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Talav- Hmmm I don’t usually voice claim my characters because 99% of the time my internal monologue has one voice and that is the voice all my characters have.

Thinking about it, I think his voice would be relatively androgynous, and that he is generally soft spoken. He’s the kind of guy who gets icy and quiet when he’s angry.

I also think a lot more about a characters ‘voice’ in terms of their word choice… Talav is a smooth talker both in tone and word choice. He also is one for pet names, especially in Meridian when he plays up his ‘noble’ status. He’s called Aloy ‘my dear’.

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

OMG ABEL I HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT HIM IN A WHILE.

About three quarters through the campaign, Abel gives up his armour that was the cause of his paladin oath and the reason he became an adventurer, so that he can accept a gift of better armour from an ancient elf that we were supposed to defeat, but saved instead.

When he accepts the armour, he gives up his old oath in exchange for a new one. “I have spent my whole time trying to bring back a past that will never exist again. It is gone. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good things in the present to fight for. I let go of the past, and make a new oath: to my friends, to my family, and to making the world we have right now in the present a better place.”

It marked a turning point for his character and was also a pretty cool speech to pull out. One of the highlights of the campaign!

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Abel: NO BUT THAT WOULD BE SICK. It would probably have like… engraved armour, a chainsword, a big tree, butchered meat, a hand clasping someone else’s shoulder in support, a sunrise, a bloodstain, and a kneeling knight

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

Kal: Ok so you’re just calling me out here. Kal’s appearance when they’re a teen is exactly the same as mine when I was around that age, because Kal started out as a self insert. Their change in hair to the mullet is because I wanted to create a distinct signal for like. What part of the story we’re in when I draw them, as well as to make them stand out from self portraits. And also bc I saw a video of someone with that haircut and I was like that looks cool.

For their supersuit it’s mostly aesthetics… designing those things are hard. The eye symbol is totally arbitrary and in retrospect kind of insane bc it doesn’t really have anything to do with their powers. I chose orange for their palette just because I didn’t know any colour theory and it was complimentary with their skin and hair colour.

Their mask is plot relevant- well. I added it bc I thought the winter soldier looked cool and then added plot justification. It’s to release a knockout gas to take them out if they ever lose control of their powers, after they lost control mid mission once to disastrous results.

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

Kal: this is an excellent question. Yes and no. Kal does have a family, but I took them out of the picture for ease of plot really early on. Their parents kick them out when they’re 15 for being trans/nonbinary. I don’t think they have any siblings, if they do, Kal never goes back to rekindle a relationship with them. They find a new family in their work, Lynn and Tony and Clint.

They do have their own rogues gallery, which is some sort of connection, most of which I’ve never introduced. But I just like coming up with supervillains and then it’s convenient to give them to Kal. There’s Morph, her main enemy and a shapeshifter. There’s the Undertaker, who is every villain’s contact for disposing of bodies and therefore a frequent target of information gathering. And then there’s another one who doesn’t have a name, who is basically just really good at masterminding schemes and coordinating villain team ups so they get along.

Character asks!

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

Korin knew it was a trap the moment they walked into the room. They would fight, lie, and sacrifice to escape it. There is, in fact, very little that they wouldn't do.

Here's the empire era angst fic that I've been torturing Sailor and Rose with for months. How the Korin and the squad ended up in the empire is a question i would love to expand upon in future fics

[deeranddragons]

birthday gift for @palaeorange of pride and prejudice au korin/doubles but with the attitude of canon korin/doubles bc i got lost in the sauce of sinister korin

[deeranddragons]

Astarion’s first impressions of my tav Cain, because playing a good aligned paladin with a charlatan background is really, truly, deeply hilarious. I loved lying at every possible opportunity to make my life easier. I wish there wasn’t a cap on inspiration points because I was getting it left and right from cain and astarion combined.
