I always feel weird doing text posts because it feels like speaking into the void...but I did that anyway on Twitter. SO, when my ADHD allows me to remember, this blog will be graced with occasional OC and game thoughts.
So without further ado: I'm Cookie. A Filipino American artist, TTRPG enthusiast, and all around lurker.
This blog, dear follower/random Tumblr user, is for re blogging aesthetics, art of others, fixations of the day, and all around vibes.
But you can find my art of said OC's at my art blog, @laureliere, which I usually reblog my art onto this blog anyways!

Instead of the new dogshit Odyssey film you should watch Iphigenia (1977). It’s made by actual Greek people and focuses on a mother-daughter relationship to explore how women are sacrificed by powerful men in times of war. Also the main actress has the face of an angel 🙏 the whole movie is available on YT with English subtitles.
Former Capital Courtier turned Farmer of Grimshire.
New file - New Farmer! (more information under the cut)
Name: Iseult
Age: 25
Species: Silver Persian Cat
Love Interest: Kai
Bio: Daughter to a nomadic clan of felines, Iseult had cast off her identity in order to fit into the court of Empress Priscilla SnowFur as an offering for trade relations. Iseult is a reserved feline, valued for her musical inclination and negotiation skills as a lady in waiting to the Empress. A luxurious cage, dressed in white and blue.
There was moments, where she would meet her kin on the fringes of the Capital, to see them well and to see them off to their travels with a sort of longing. Despite her attempts to believe that she was content.
However, flame would take the Capital-chaos bursting as she made her escape and found herself in the harbor, but among countless horrified civilians fleeing the flames. The panic brings the memory to pitch, recalling crashing waves and the smell of ash.
Eventually she would awake in Grimshire, what finery she wore now in marred in blood and ash. Perhaps Iseult wished to leave the island, as soon as Finn would return to it's shores. But grave news would soon follow, and Iseult would find herself as a pillar of the community when she was once a diminished presence in her old life.
Having to get past her lofty life style and getting in touch with long forgotten roots, she needs all the determination she can get to ensure the island can survive until winter.
Personalty: Haughty, a little distant as a defense mechanism. But a diligent and hard worker once she knows the ropes and sets her mind to things. Frustratingly stubborn with a heart of gold, especially towards the townsfolk she becomes devoted towards.
Misc Facts:
Once a court musician, Iseult knows how to play the harp and sings. However she seldom sings for audiences nowadays, rather she often does for her plants. If caught, she is quickly embarrassed by it and tells the listener to forget about it.
Mother was a herbalist, thus Iseult has some knowledge of herbs, but often consults Hazel and Rose for proper raising of them.
Allegedly, knew how to wield a bow and arrow, having learned from her father. But is terribly rusty. Asks Kai to fashion her one, if not for hunting but self defense when pirates arrive. Spear and bow lessons ensue. (surely not an excuse for romantic proximity)
Hates getting dirt underneath her claws, and is very thorough in bathing. Though that extends to her tending to others appearances, which she bonds over with Logan.
Headcanon: Priscilla Snowfur is keen on uniformity and the idea of purity of snow, thus dawns a white and icy blue dress code. Iseult used to powder her face to appear fairer, but is rather fond of her crescent blaze that her mother considered lucky.
idk who on earth could possibly need to hear this, but do NOT, under ANY circumstances, give out your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER to ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
So, I can easily say that once the multiple save files are available in Dragons Dogma 2 - I am making a character to kiss Raghnall, Brant, or Lord Phaesus.
And Capcom better have given those key characters romance scenes or quests, I swear-
I know I don't have a lot of reach here. I mean, I mostly post memes and shitposts with the occasional thought blurbs. I'm not really active with communities here so, again, I know my reach is small. I do, however, ask for some help. Even if all you do is reblog this, it'll help immensely and extend my reach.
Last week I went in for a medical procedure that was being done to identify another issue (if I had it). It went fine, but the very next day they called me saying I have cancer. I'm keeping my head above water right now, but if I said this isn't emotionally devastating granted what huge life changes it's going to make, I'd be lying.
I have a consultation appointment with an oncologist in the next state over tomorrow (Thurs, June 11th). It's an hour drive out there and an hour drive back. This will likely not be the only instance. As a way to allow myself time to get things together and make appointments, I asked my retail job to not schedule me until at least early July. I may need more time. In the meantime though, I'll only have Doordash to get an income and... in my area it sucks. Lots of people don't tip (it's far too common to get 0-3$ of a tip for large orders, especially grocery/shopping orders). Before I found out about the cancer, I went back to retail to ensure I had a stable income. So, right now, I need some help. Any help eases my financial situation and helps my roommate too. She can't possibly cover everything on her own and support me.
If you want to look more into it, I have posted a thread on my BlueSky. And if you can't access that to view, I've also cross posted it to my ToyHouse.

OH boy, I sure do love chance meetings where characters are just blips in each others lives before their worlds truly collid.
In campaign, in this case!
The DM was kind enough to entertain that the paladins in our campaign would have at least seen a glance of Emmeline from her cloister. I don't know, I think there's a bit of romance to it and thought it would be fun c:
Kit (the paladin looking at Katarina and my PC Emmeline) recognized Emmeline and called her "our sister in faith" hehe.
