I thought I might do a little introductory post as a means of formally presenting myself to the few mutuals I already made and maybe find new ones, too. :3 Also, I'm gonna pin this post to the top of my blog so y'all already know from the start who and what you're dealing with. :3

Aight, here we go then~ 🙏 Y'all can call me Dio (primarily she/her, but I totally don't mind he/him or they/them, I just never used those for myself before) and at the time I'm writing this I am 32 years old. I'm an hobby artist/author from Germany who loves creating and designing characters, telling their stories, and making them suffer giving them happy or bittersweet endings. :')

Here's a selection of my fandoms/interests: 🌕 The Elder Scrolls (mostly Skyrim, as it's the only game I played) 🌑 Red Dead Redemption (both games and Red Dead Online) 🌕 Das Schwarze Auge (German pen & paper game) 🌑 The Legend of Zelda (always ready to gush about OoT and MM 🌕 Dispatch 🌑 Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss 🌕 Resident Evil 7 and 8 🌑 The Muppets

Those are the games and shows I'll most likely be talking/reblogging about. Chances are you might also accidentally awaken a dormant obsession of mine, or maybe it's something I enjoy rather casually but will absolutely discuss on an academic level if I feel like it. :v

(Also, I might add entries to this list if I fall in love with something new, and maybe even delete some if I fall out of love with them, even though I consider this rather unlikely. If anything, my fandom-related obsessions just go into stand-by mode until someone or something reactivates them.)

I have a bunch of OCs that are part of original stories, but I'm also working on two fanfics. The first one is set in the world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and is called Someone Else's Flesh and Blood. The other one takes place in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2/Online and is titled Wayward Sons. Both stories follow a found-family-duo, but the dynamics are quite different from one another. What I intend to post here: 🌑 Art (drawings of my OCs/roleplay characters/fan characters as well as fan art) 🌕 Shitposts and memes (either drawn or really, really badly edited) 🌑 Writing and writing plans (fan fiction and perhaps also original stories, if someone's interested) 🌕 My two cents on everything fandom-related (character analysis, blatant fangirling, respectful and nuanced criticism of media I love but still see the flaws in, absolutely deranged fandom takes, AUs, headcanons, and whatever else begs to break free from my brain) 🌑 General nonsense :v So yeah, that's me. :) Expect an awful lot of grumpy old guys (they usually end up as my blorbos) and unnecessarily lengthy posts that don't get to the point. <3

Went looking for tarot cards and found a frickin' poodle???

[bumblebeebats]

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

I've been using the pet poison hotline's poison list cause it has a search function. It also tells you whether something is mildly, moderately, or severely toxic which can be very handy! It doesn't contain like everything but it might be a good place to start, it also includes plants for fellow houseplant lovers <3

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

When you haven't written anything in a while and suddenly get kissed by the muse of unhinged bullshit. ✨️

My Skyrim-fanfic is actually supposed to be told from Ivar's (and maybe also his adoptive daughter Bodil's) perspective, but for this particular moment I wanted to switch things up a little. Rufus, whom I have drawn but not introduced yet, is Ivar's closest confidant, who's surprisingly chill with the whole cannibalism thing.

I might still edit this when I continue writing, but for now I'm just happy my creative juices started flowing again. 😅 Idk if this is interesting to anyone, but well~

Thinking about how detailed the character models in RDR2 are.

Abigail's mole just above the arch of her left eyebrow. The little scar on Tilly's right cheek and the even tinier one on Mary-Beth's left. Pearson's navy tattoo on the back of his left hand. Kieran's chapped lips and that one prominent vein on his forehead. Spots. Scars. Wrinkles. Bug bites. Crooked and yellowed teeth. Different facial and body hair patterns.

They're all so imperfect and unique and every time I analyse the character models, I seem to notice something new and I love that.

With Art Fight 2026 just around the corner, I thought perhaps I could find some new mutuals here. :3

Art Fight

An art gifting game

Here's a glimpse of what you can expect from me and my OCs:

• modern and historical OCs (Victorian Era, 1920s, the Golden Age of Piracy)

• medieval-inspired fantasy OCs (no magic)

• different ages (a lot of grumpy men over 40)

• a few OCs with supernatural traits/abilities

• morally grey/evil OCs

• fandom OCs (Red Dead and Skyrim

• roleplaying OCs (DSA and Cthulhu)

• the occasional animal OC

I sincerely hope I'll find the time to be a little more productive than last year, but if not, there's always the next one, I guess. 🥲🙏🏻

[diolordofdorkness]

Currently knee-deep in important matters, so please excuse that I haven't responded to asks and comments yet. ;u;

[diolordofdorkness]

Did I just spend a considerable amount of gold on this wolf pelt poncho just to create a Shrek outfit for Earl?

Perhaps...

[diolordofdorkness]

Quick doodle (30 minutes or something like that) of Javier because my dear @chuffedchough said they'd like to see him in my style. I hope I somehow managed to do him justice. 💀 Haven't drawn properly in a while, especially not traditionally.

Red Dead OC Ask Game

Alright, so I know there's probably a ton of these out here, but I still wanna do my own version. Feel free to use it for yourself! :3

🤠 - Why did you choose this name for your OC and why did their parents (or themselves) choose it?

🌳 - Who are some important family members of theirs (living or deceased)?

🏠 - Where were they born? Where and how do they live now?

🗣 - What language(s) do they know? What's their proficiency level in each language?

💼 - What's their profession? Does their current occupation differ from the trade they learnt?

🛤 - What's their preferred way of travelling?

🐎 - What's the name and breed of your OC's horse? Does the choice have any deeper meaning?

🏇 - What's the relationship between your OC and their horse?

🐾 - Do or did they have any pets other than their horse?

🥃 - What are they most likely to order at the saloon?

💥 - How good are their shooting skills?

🏹 - What's their weapon of choice?

💀 - Where do you see them on the honour scale?

🧣 - Do they have a specific piece of clothing or an accessory they consider their favourite? If so, is there a reason behind this?

🪶 - What are their favourite animals?

🏞 - What's their favourite place to be?

💘 - Are they in love or in a relationship?

🫂 - Who's the person they trust the most in the world?

🌠 - If they could make a wish come true, what would they wish for?

😤 - Do they have any pet peeves?

✒️ - Can they read and/or write?

❓️ - Give a random [fun] fact about your OC!

I'd love to come up with even more questions, but the post is probably long enough already. :'D

[diolordofdorkness]

Always love it when some players in RDO just attack me entirely unprovoked. Like, dude, I just wanted to ride to O'Creagh's Run for some fishing, why shoot at my boy and his horse when they're literally just existing? 🫩

[diolordofdorkness]

Even though I can't create my other Red Dead OCs, I decided I could at least get their horses in the game. This is Rye, Irene's Thoroughbred stallion. He's a bit of a drama king when he's not handled by his owner, but people with enough patience and no ill intentions will eventually get a chance at interacting with him.

The ladies of the Van der Linde Gang

[diolordofdorkness]

One of my favourite things about RDR2 is that there's not one, not two, but seven women in the gang. They all look different, have distinct personalities, interact with each other, and have relatively fleshed-out arcs within the story.

(You gotta keep in mind here that, of course, the game focuses on a handful of male characters, but still, each of the ladies is important.)
