What hempen homespuns have we swagg’ring here So near the cradle of the Fairy Queen? What, a play toward? I’ll be an auditor— An actor too perhaps, if I see cause.

That looks SO dangerous but I am SO impressed and UTTERLY charmed and FULL of childlike wonder

I can't believe I'm saying this but Too Much Fire.

[gothiccharmschool]

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FIRE.

thinking of making some "Lore Cards" in the same vein of the D&D "Magic Item Cards". just a couple of cards featuring a small bit of Lore about Í Breasal.

also thinking about the possibility of a "field guide" type of book about Í Breasal

The final charm I ordered arrived so I added them and the beads I decided on to the ends of the Molly wrap last night! Now all it's missing are their portraits.

The number of beads on each strand are the number of episodes each version appears in in the original campaign - so Lucien's stands each have 18 beads, Molly's have 26 beads, (except that Molly's technically in 31 episodes but i didn't think about that until after i had already finished so shhh), and Kingsley's have 7 beads. The final strand with the d20 charm has 9 beads.

it's rotten work, but without the rot nothing can grow

it's rotten work but decay is part of the cycle of death and rebirth

The three stages of my note writing

the problem with my first hand written notes is that I can't fucking spell lol, so I go back later and I know what word that short hand squiggle is but have to go look up how it's actually spelled

[quentinthewitch]

Most of the charms I ordered for the Mollymauk themed/inspired wrap I made for Rí Caonach have arrived, now I'm just waiting for the snake charm I ordered for Kingsley and the d20 charm.

I was surprised when I opened one of the packages and saw not one but ten moon charms - it was actually very clear in the listing I just somehow managed to miss it completely.

I decided to add beads to the strands too on a whim and really like how the pearls and frame look, but I'll have to get more beads to do the rest.

I tried drawing the portraits for the frames by hand, but drawing that small is difficult and I wasn't really happy with them, so I'm going to draw them digitally and try to resize them correctly and print them instead.

I'm going to have five wraps total - the "autumn" braid I had at the top before, an Ace flag braid, a Cupio braid, the Molly braid, and a Kurosaki Ichigo braid that is currently half-finished.

[quentinthewitch]

I'm braiding some wraps for Rí Caonach, and decided to do a Mollymauk Tealeaf inspired/themed one. I left the ends extra long so I could add charms to it.

END 1:

a crown charm

a turquoise peacock feather charm

a turquoise moon charm

a tarot card (The Fool) charm

a picture frame charm with a picture of Molly

END 2:

a picture frame charm with a picture of Lucien

a picture frame charm with a picture of Kingsley

red snake charm (Kingsley)

purple butterfly charm (Lucien)

D20 charm

I want to do one more each for Lucien and Kingsley but I'm not sure what to add.

I have some red "Evil Eye" style beads I could use for Lucien maybe? I also have some fake blood I could put in a bottle/vial charm.

EDIT: Oh wait what about a butterfly for Lucien? And looking at them again those eye charms were pink not red anyway.

For Kingsley I thought maybe a snake or something pirate related, like a ship or jolly roger?

For the last strand I was thinking either a D20 charm or Ouroboros/infinity snake charm. If I could find a small charm of the Mighty Nein or Critical Role crest/logo that'd be nice too.

TRF 2025 Halloween weekend Trinket Trade leftovers.

I ended up having to finish several parts of my costume last minute - including finishing these Saturday night, so only had any to hand out on Sunday.

For next year I'm going to make more mushroom and bead strings and maybe more stars. I kind of want to try making some little mushroom and moss terrarium type pins and/or charms too. I'm going to take the fillers off and repurpose them though.
