Introduction post 🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵

NOTE: MY LAST ACCOUNT GOT FUCKED UP AND THIS IS MY NEW ONE. Hello hello!! I'm Matchasan Tea, but calling me Matcha works just as well! She/They This account is likely going to be mainly for anything cool i produce, which includes sketches, watercolour, and digital artworks. my other socials (and my comics!) can be found below (im so sorry my comics are very infrequent)

FUN FACTS🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵

i'm on a mission to collect/try one of each tea type my favourite teas SO FAR are Matcha, white tea and jasmine

My go-to bubble tea order is Matcha milk tea with tapioca pearls matcha was the first tea i tried (because i was obsessed with 'Twisted Wonderland' at the time and the green looked like the Diasomnia colours)

My favourite colour is a tie between crimson red and neon green, but never together!

My favourite band is HEALTH

I run a 'Cyberpunk: RED' campaign with my friends set as a prequel to my webcomic. Its very fun i might write a summary of that one day. TAGS 🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵

For Ama Tremere Tzimisce Church of Caine

Tremere - What is something your OC wanted and got it for themselves, no matter how selfish or high the cost was? she wanted to live and the cost was becoming a vampire with an extremely fucked up prey exclusion of humans (rip having blood bags....) tho as a vampire... the same still applies. it's just gotten a whole lot messier, what with the whole luci thing... and the not-ash thing.... and the needing vampire blood thing....... and the nephrah thing........ oh yeah. she's fucked. into the emotion blender with thee.

Tzimisce - What's your OC's most prized possession? How long have they had it? Why is it important? probably her messenger bag! it's a genuine leather one with a Lily of the Valley on the front She probably got it around the age of... 14? as a human it was her go-to, and in university she would use it to carry around all of her stuff (which as a messenger bag enjoyer myself, is one hell of a commitment) It's also covered in baubles and keychains gifted to her by Ash, or collected from artists n stuff as a vampire, the front has been slightly overhauled to carry books and vials and stuff, but she still uses that bag a LOT. alternatively, you could also say a sunflower-patterned jumper. but this question is already really long-

Church of Caine - Does your OC have any religious/ Kindred beliefs? Not really??? she wasn't really religious while alive, and she isn't religious now tho bc i think it's interesting how it happens at all- she definitely engaged with Catholicism a bit while alive. though that's mainly bc that's a thing a lot of the maltese diaspora does for some reason. like they proclaim to not be catholic but still do all the catholic rites and follow certain rules. its really interesting actually!

[matchasantea-art]

ok so usually i wouldnt make pride artwork but then a friend came to me with the idea of drawing all my asexual characters playing poker bc haha aces and I -as an asexual person- think that's hilarious SO!!! here they are!!! it's based on that one artwork of dogs playing poker bc that was the original pitch to me but this is absolutely hilarious and i love it so much anyways yes i am posting this like- a day before june. but thats because otherwise it feels like a trend and i'd rather not chase trends or norms when im making art :::)

also because im busy tomorrow

anyways! enjoy this silly thing i did lmao

btw! im using the new asexual flag because i think its pretty :::) also otherwise this artwork would be. so purple.

Because how many ask games are too many? Trick question, there's never enough! We all know we adore talking about our Kindred and hearing about others.

Send as many Clans/ Cults of your choice to the reblogger, plus their OC name, let them answer the relevant questions about their Kindred. The questions are based around the Clan/ Cult rather than you have to send the cult or clan the OC is in. ♥️🩸

Add your OC's names in the tags and share!

Don't forget to send asks to the person you reblogged this from!

Clan Inspired

Banu Haqim - What's the worst punishment your OC has received? Have they given any punishments out? How was it handled?

Brujah - What is something your OC will always fight for? What's the reason?

Gangrel - What is your OC's Beast like? Do they get along.. more or less?

Hecata - Does your OC have a family? Be it through blood or chosen. Tell us about them.

Lasombra - What's the most ruthless thing your OC has done? Why?

Malkavian - Think of your OC as a mortal, pre-embrace. If someone showed them what's going to happen to them, from the night they were turned to now, would they let the embrace happen or would they try to avoid it?

Ministry - What's the best/ worst lie your OC have ever told? What was the reason? Was it believed?

Nosferatu - Your OC is now cursed. Again. Their favourite physical thing about them has been changed to their worst nightmare. What is it?

Ravnos - Is your OC a daredevil or are they more cautious? What's the most chaotic thing that they've done?

Salubri - Ignore how many dots in Humanity there are. In your opinion, what's your OC's humanity like?

Toreador - Describe your OCs aesthetic in the worst way possible, then tell us what it actually is.

Tremere - What is something your OC wanted and got it for themselves, no matter how selfish or high the cost was?

Tzimisce - What's your OC's most prized possession? How long have they had it? Why is it important?

Ventrue - Does your OC have any influence or sway anywhere? Are they respected?

Caitiff - Would you say your OC is quite individualistic or do they conform to their Clan stereotype?

Thin-blood - Has your OC ever been shunned or cast-out? Are they currently an outcast? Or have they ever shunned someone else? Why?

Cult Inspired

Ashfinders - Does your OC use social media? If so, which platforms and what's their following like?

Bahari - How well does your OC cope with physical and/ or mental pain?

Church of Caine - Does your OC have any religious/ Kindred beliefs?

Church of Set - Is your OC able to be their true selves? If not, why? Is there anyone they can be real in front of?

Cult of Mithras - Has your OC been in a blood bond? Are they currently in one? Do they have anyone bonded to them?

Nephilim - What pleasures does your OC get out of their (un)life?

Been playing a lot of two games in particular

[matchasantea-art]

Guess who finished their next sketchbook comic!!! ~me~

Anyways here’s the cover, comic itself is under the cut!!

And that is jeoan’s comic!!!

Sadly thanks to it being a 17-page watercolour comic I did for funsies and tried to keep focused on the super important event of ‘Jeoan figuring out how these ancient swords work And Also Managing To Work Out Magic For The First Time’ it isn’t super duper clear BUT shes actually been focused on these swords for like. 2 years or smth in lore

tbh my dm has been doing a lot of the lore writing bc he likes entirely fleshed out characters. I didn’t write the duration or really most of jeoan’s lore I just wanted a magical archaeologist who is subject to magical horrors. But that’s fine I really don’t care it’s not like I don’t have input

But anyways some fun facts!

I asked my friend doing an archaeology degree for pointers on how to make this accurate. Some stuff still ain’t the most accurate but look we gotta sometimes do dumb shit for the plot

The first panel features Qagħaq tal-għasel, a Maltese pastry with a treacle filling that also takes like- a whole day to make. (Ive made them. Shit takes forever but DAMNNN ARE THEY GOOD) and im gonna be so fr, painting that happen made we want some. But I don’t wanna make them lmao

It isn’t super clear, and I don’t think I’ve actually mentioned it, but the way magic works in this world is by consuming what is essentially eldritch fungus. Theres a bunch of different ways this can be done but Jeoan’s preferred method is to h jist carry around snacks. So shes got magical Qagħaq tal-għasel I guess.

Said eldritch fungus is what gives her a weird funky dream sequence showing how the swords were used historically- the clothing worn during this segment was supposed to pull from Phoenicia (bc if where Jeoan is from is fantasy Malta (ok it’s the fantasy Mediterranean but shh) there should be fantasy Phoenicians surely)

The sword however was inspired by clock hands, and designed for Jeoan first. I actually drew out the original designs for them like last year??? And have since then given them a few redesigns bc they’re a bitch to draw (they still are) but weirdly I remember the start of the design process (and really Jeoan’s creation in general) starting with getting ramen in the pouring rain. Idk I thought it was a fun thing to say lmao

Jeoan’s eyes enter The Horrors mode for like one panel bc I thought it would be fun lmao. It also lets this act almost like a chekovs gun in a way for the campaign and I like that :::)

But yea that’s the Jeoan comic and some extended yapping about it! I hope you enjoyed and I shall see you with another comic like next month or smth idk

"I am your god now. Simply do what I say, and all will be well."

YALL THOUGHT YOU COULD ESCAPE ALDOUS ART???? NAH ITS MORALLY DUBIOUS TIEFLINGS IN THIS HOUSE OR NOTHIN. i just think he's fun to draw and he has a really compelling story bc its just really tragic ok bc like no matter what he does he's fucked and he's just choosing to ignore that right now (or maybe he hasnt noticed >:3c) but anyways here's aldous and another partymember named Eric!!! like. their name includes the exclamation marks. but anyways, i like the idea that aldous maybe tries to use charms and enchantments on the party (SPECIFICALLY THOSE THAT I TALK TO ABOUT IT BEFOREHAND.) idk its just so delightfully fucked up and i kinda love the thought so of course i drew it :::) its so fun AUGHH-
