Hello! Welcome to my main blog that feels more like a side blog. Oops!

This is here solely to fuel my brain rot hours. Whether it's through gpose, drawing it, posting commissions I've bought, writing it out, or engaging in filling out questions via any one of the aforementioned means (sans commissions), I will be Completely Normal™ about my blorbos and my ship here.

Born 1992; easier to let people do the math from there rather than constantly update how old I am every year I get older. As for the person behind the blog, I'm genderfluid, demisexual / demiromantic myself. I'm a childhood cancer survivor -> leukemia (Type ALL), though still have to deal with the fallout from that (hip and shoulder replacements as a result from medication).

Thanks for being an audience to one: my blorbo dump site, and two: my demisexual / panromantic ship hell hole named Cinnamon Ship (Estinien + Nomin = Estinomin = Cinnamon). Nomin is a demigirl, and I headcanon Estinien as being demisexual / demiromantic.

wolstinien week 2026 :: family

despite the circumstances of the families in our pasts, we can strive to give the one we made what we never had.

[paintedscales]

my sub ran out today, so no more wolstinien week for me since i usually make my gposes on the day of. i'll see about getting my sub back up and running when i can. may be today. may be next month.

[shivapvoid]

since a certain someone seems convinced that there are absolutely no queer creators in this fandom, prove him wrong by promoting yourself in reblogs <3 ill go first - i'm a trans nb aroace artist that draws mostly my wol and fanart, and i have an ongoing webcomic for my wolcanon as well, but it's updating very slowly i fear...! here's my ko-fi and vgen!

here's some recent art i've done:

[paintedscales]

hihi~!

i'm a genderfluid demisexual artist that loves to draw oc x canon ships and ocs in general. i may be a little slow these days due to the Horrors™, but i'm pretty good about getting all my obligations done over time. i have my own style, but i also really like to mimic other styles! you can check out my ko-fi here ♥

here are some pieces i've done!

wolstinien week 2026 :: scars & scales

the only thing they define is the history of which we lived. a reminder of the hardship we faced and the times we've overcome.

wolstinien week 2026 :: travel

and should the cold greet us once more, we know well how to navigate it.

[galpalaven]

anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊

[birues]

for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium

after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.

[mythandral]

they're doubling down too, by the way

An assumption about Nomin is that she is excellent at barbequing - especially large pieces of meat - but that she is quite resistant to anyone else getting involved and can be a bit of a control freak with the grill.

mimble, hiiiiii! thank you for the ask! i hope that you're doing well, and that this weekend is kind to you! ♥♥

character assumptions

this would be pretty accurate! nomin's pretty particular about letting people help her cook. she knows what she's doing, and she would prefer if people helped elsewhere with meal prep if they want to help at all! but also, she does like grilling her large chunks of meat, and has done so several times in her travels across the steppe once she broke off from the jhungid. :D

[paintedscales]

assumptions: Nomin would wait for an animal to clear her path before walking even if holding something heavy.

hihi, yulin! good morning~! thank you so much for the ask, my friend! ♥ i hope that your day is good and easy for you!

character assumptions

depends on the animal. if she's holding something heavy, she kind of has no choice but to let it pass. but...nomin's also a hunter and has learned the art of trade in her travels. it would be remiss of her to pass up the opportunity to strike down a meal and carve and dress it. leathers and hides to sell to crafters or for use as insulation. bones for weaponry or jewelry. meat for herself to cook or dry for rations, or to hand off to those who would need it or trade for it / buy it.

[paintedscales]

Took a short wander into the character tag so I could get a rough idea of who Nomin is.

I would assume she has a soft spot for handmade gifts. Anything ranging from food to clothes to small items like a bird carved in wood is seen as something to treasured or close to such.

morning! thank you for this character assumption, kannedia! \ o w o / i hope that the day treats you well! :>

character assumptions

yes! this would be highly accurate! :D nomin has a penchant for painting for people, so when people make her stuff, she tends to treat them fondly and with a kind of reverence for the time and effort that those who gave them to her put into them. :>
