Hey guys, long time no post but I’m shamelessly plugging some lion headshots I’m selling on Lioden!

Head to https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429608665 to check them out! Also thinking of making these designs themed series, like the flower lionesses pictured here (dandelioness, ha ha, get it?) so rec some themes I could try out! I’m thinking maybe fruit next? Anyway, enjoy!

So for about 200~ cubs (since FEBRUARY!), Faven has failed to pass his Olive base. In the last couple of weeks though, he has passed his base a whopping 5 times, 3 of those to me. He’s also had a few crosses since then too, 3 or so. The cross born today was amazing, having a random Bushveld soft rosette in s4. I don’t know what the heck happened but FINALLYYYYY some luck

2 7BO traits Olives, a 9/15 Olive and a BSR Cross patches. Very proud of Faven rn. I’m currently selling the evil girl for 10gb, might look at selling the others too but we’ll see, if you’re interested in any message me at #184729

Nyasi, 11BO Nacarat

Lore under the cut! I haven’t written any lore before so forgive me if it’s shit lmao

Nyasi is a compassionate healer, and a devoted mother. One of the most peaceful lions you could ever meet, her upbringing couldn’t be anything further from the fact. She was born into a pride riddled with plague, of which Nyasi was the sole survivor. The sickness caused lions to foam at the mouth and muscle spasms to wrack their body before leading to an agonising death, wiping out thousands of lions across the continent. It took her pridemates one-by-one, until it was only her mother and her left. Her mother forced Nyasi out of their home in search of a cure, but secretly to try and keep Nyasi safe from catching the disease which ailed her. Nyasi went from pride-to-pride in search of something, anything, to save the last of her family. She came across Sangoma Tefnut, a lioness blessed by the ancestors in the art of healing. Desperate, Nyasi begged the shaman for something to help her mother, to which Sangoma Tefnut replied, “sometimes death is the kindest cure you can offer a lion.” Nyasi’s search was futile, and she returned home. Upon entering her territory, Nyasi found her mother’s corpse, still warm and soft. She had missed her chance to say goodbye, and Nyasi felt a piece of her soul die with her mother that day.

Nyasi stayed at her homeland for many more months alone, plagued by grief and visions of dying lions. She was thin and weak, unable to sleep from nightmares and unable to hunt from exhaustion. She knew that the life of a loner was a dangerous one, and decided that she would not let this happen to anyone else when a particular vision showed herself dying the same gruesome way her mother did. Determined to save lions from losing their loved ones like she did, she embarked on another journey to find Sangoma Tefnut, yearning to be trained under her wise authority. Now a young lioness, Nyasi found the shamans in a land untouched by the sickness, and was offered sanctuary with them. Unbeknownst to Nyasi, the shamans knew she was coming, the ancestors sending them omens of a blessed lioness about to cross their path. Knowing her potential, it was a joint effort by the shamans to train Nyasi, teaching her old and new ways of healing, and guiding her through spiritual journeys that came with the title of healer. Sangoma Sphinx particularly helped Nyasi understand the visions she was experiencing, embracing them rather than running from them.

After months of tutoring, Nyasi was ready to become a shaman. Saying goodbye to her tutors, she was assigned to a pride in need of a healer. She adapted to her role and fit in perfectly, bonding with the pride's leader, Faven, and becoming a trusted friend and adviser.. Eventually, Nyasi fell pregnant. The father was unknown, Nyasi choosing to keep his identity hidden. The pregnancy went smoothly, and Nyasi birthed a strong female, Alala. Unlike Nyasi, her now adult daughter revels in bloodshed, earning the title of barbarian. Extremely paranoid about losing her family again, Nyasi coddles her daughter and shelters her from her traumatic past, taking care of her every want and need in hopes of keeping her safe. Wherever one went, the other followed, their bond unbreakable. , and instead focused solely on her job as a healer and mother, protecting her daughter however she can. With whatever power Nyasi holds over life, her daughter holds over death. The duo are complete opposites, and yet so similar it is uncanny. Two sides of the same nacarat coin, they are each other’s salvation.

Butterfly Design

Toa, 9BO Marula lioness with Saffron Inverted Rosette

[medusaden]

One of my girls, Briar! She is one of only 5 Qahir lions with a rosette, and the only Qahir with Briar Heavy Rosette. I love soft pink and green colour schemes, they remind me of flowers and petals

[medusaden]

I have a crippling addiction to raffle lady clones, anyway here’s Sekhmet

send help, my savings is holding me hostage rn

[medusaden]

my rlc’s aren’t giving me clones, pls rng I beg of thee

I have 3 rlc’s and have had multiple litters but no clones, crying in the club rn. at least the fails have been really cute so far (soul polycaudal, like 4 amps and an anjeer achro)

[medusaden]

Merara, my newest addition to the pride!

She’s a clone of the 03/04/2020 RL and I love her already, but man is it a bitch to decorate pink and purple lions for some reason. I’m thinking I might start writing lore for some of my pride members soon, I think it would be nice to have a fun way to hone my skills in literature and editing!

[medusaden]

So may or may not have dipped into my already shit savings to buy a RLC because I have no impulse control. Oh well! She purdy though, her name is Elora

[medusaden]

New king time! Meet Faven, a clean clone of the 15/01/2021 Olive Raffle Lioness with a Cross patches mut! He isn’t kinged yet because he is still an adol and need to train him, but I absolutely adore him. Expensive lil hoe but worth every penny. There’s two cloned kings of the Olive RL currently but neither are up for stud so dunno how much his studding will be set at yet, just see how it goes first. This is the first lion of such a high value I’ve ever bought and I am very happy with him!

Ngl forgot this place existed, but l i o n s

Ethereal, 5BO Mane Silky with Apricot eyes and Royal mane. Her name is Sangoma Nandi

[medusaden]

So long time no post! I’ve been away again for most of November and almost all of December cause life slapped me in the face, big surprise. The only thing that motivated me to get on now was the Advent calendar lol, but also I am in Sad Gorl HoursTM because I didn’t get to gift or shit on anyone 😔But on a good note, finally finished this girl’s design! She’s a full vit with Festive base and honestly she’s really pretty so I may crunchy worm in the future 👀 her name is December, fittingly

[medusaden]

ok but hear this out: markings or mutations exclusive to certain personalities 

[medusaden]

Just rewording what I sent to someone! so for example, hyperlactation for nurturing lionesses, or August stud marks that are exclusive to mischievous lionesses (seeming the base names are Scoundrel and Ruffian, mischievous suits it well imo)

The Celestial Witch - Celeste

MY FIRST NON COMBO BREED ONLY BASE HELL YEAAAAAA!! Is the bird about to take her into the black hole or is it dropping her off on Earth? who knows 👀 she’s a double Celestial baby with Starshine eyes and 3x Celestial marks! I AM IN LOVE

[medusaden]

One of my pride and joys, Astra! She is a Noctis Soft Rosette, with Astral base and Mosaic piebald. let me tell you I was really surprised when she was born because it was a natural rosette, no breeding items used on her whatsoever. I’m really proud of this design, she looks like she’s raining the meteor apocalypse down on Earth.
