Side blog, so blocking is a more manual process. Personal rules still apply: I block as I see fit, DNIs are not present as a result, assume basic DNIs if you must.
I probably will check blogs that follow me upon initial following, and take corresponding action from there.
If you are blocked, I had my reasons, do not try and demand them from me. I will not engage.
Tags that will be present on this blog:
#jupiter's radiation || art tag - My tag when I post and reblog my art.
#cosmic creativity || original art - Art that is not fanart that's posted by me.
#characteristic constellations || reference sheet tag - The tag I use for all my character reference sheets, so you don't have to scroll through the whole art tag to find them. (Each post features the date of the most recent revision in DD/MM/YYYY format.)

PROFILE PICTURE, INTRO ART, DIVIDERS AND PROFILE BACKGROUND DONE BY ME. I GIVE NO PERMISSION FOR REUSE OR REPOST, THESE ARE FOR PERSONAL USE.
Commander of the Pact. Dragonslayer. Commander of Death, to some. Knight of the Thorn, to her own. A sylvari of many titles, many achievements, but one who simply wishes to finally have more than a few weeks of rest at best. But Tyria never ceases to have something going on that she's needed for, it seems.
I uploaded her onto ArtFight but I genuinely forgot to upload her onto Tumblr as well. Hello Guild Wars 2 community I came presenting my sylvari commander who is processing. So much at once. She wants to rest. She wants to go back home to her partner. She wants to take a 48 hour nap.
ORIENTATION: Lesbian (and currently happily taken)
HEIGHT: Maximum in-game female Sylvari height (I actually do not know what this converts to in either cm nor ft and inch. It's really funny seeing how much she towers over others of her race in-game)
More information on her under the read more! Please keep in mind that there is a brief mention of a story spoiler regarding the Personal Story in one of her relationships, alongside mentions of characters that appear primarily in the Living Worlds and expansions. Just wanted that note there for those newer to the game's story (At time of posting, I myself am currently in the first half of Living World 4).
Trahearne - One of the first two sylvari she ever called her siblings. Sometimes, she catches herself wondering how he's doing like she'd done before, even though she knows that she can't know the answer to that now.
Caithe - The other of the first two sylvari she ever called her siblings, though things have become strained. Even so, Yurifah holds care for her, but not necessarily trust.
Taimi - Tell Yurifah when she first emerged that she'd end up considering an asura to be like a niece to her, and she'd have met that fact with confusion. No, she can't explain why niece specifically, but she's not budging on it.
Aurene - "If anything bad happens to her, I will set the place ablaze and take us all down with its ruins. Do you understand?"
Ăaelan - Adventuring partner, one that's recently been elevated to being seen as a brother. Being through thick and thin so often has really helped their dynamic. (Belongs to @divodevs)
Nymphaeryn - Girlfriend and a research partner every now and then, dear enough to Yurifah that she yearns to be back home with her every time they're apart for longer periods of time. She also tends to refer to her as her wife, despite the two not being married. Also the epitome of height difference. Shortest possible female sylvari height and tallest possible female sylvari height. (Belongs to @divodevs)
Lycorisiata - One would've called them sisters in times long passed. Others would call them opposition to each other after Zhaitan's fall. Now separated by death, Yurifah holds her in her memory as the sister she failed time and time again. (Reference for her may come... eventually?)
Would've likely had a Wyld Hunt involving mapping as much of the world as she could if she hadn't been tasked to handle the Elder Dragons, so her body formed claws to help herself grip into certain terrains better. It's also, in part, why her curiosity is high in relation to exploring areas.
The blackening on her fingers is charring. She'd been pretty reckless with her fire (and later her lightning) in her earlier days, and it ended up with some lasting charring that ends up reinforced on occasion. ("Trust me, I tried just growing it out. I'm not careful enough to keep myself from getting burned with my own magic.")
The growths that are on her post-Heart of Thorns appearance is a minor case of Mordrem corruption. It does not impact her negatively, but it serves as a reminder of the events that occurred. ("As if the nightmares weren't bad enough.")
Used to utilise the sceptre and dagger combination in her weaponry, but switched to the sword and dagger combination instead around the same time she learned to be a weaver - She's able to use her former weapons with ease in a pinch, but she'd rather use a sword over a sceptre now.
Highly curious, which turns into recklessness when she's exploring. Ask anyone who's had to deal with helping her out while she's exploring - You'd need so many hands to count how often she's needed to be helped out of a hole, pit or otherwise inconvenient gap. She's even gotten stuck in cliff-faces. No, she will not be answering questions on how this happened, purely because she doesn't know herself.
Likes to study the cuisine from the regions she travels to, and chooses some to recreate herself when she is back home. Not always is she successful, but it's a hobby she feels comfortable with.
The wings on some of her outfits are semi-functional! She can't go flying long distances, but she does swoop around with them and has sometimes flapped herself into the air in tandem with reactions like shock or surprise - but she uses the wings more for their gliding purposes over anything else.
Overachiever. Absolutely an overachiever. She's not good at recognising her own burnout either, but thankfully she's good at resting once it's pointed out to her - though this was not always the case.
Has tendencies to severely bottle up her more negative emotions, to the point that she may come off as lacking in reaction to certain situations. This stems from her taking two specific teachings from Ventari's tablet in a way she really shouldn't have: Never leave a wrong to ripen into evil or sorrow and The only lasting peace is the peace within your own soul. As a sapling, she interpreted these to imply that she had to deal with her problems all on her own, which has led to her having a complicated relationship with allowing people to help her process her struggles. This became particularly evident after the end of Heart of Thorns. It also means that she has a deep fear of straying into less favourable paths - in particular, she has a deep fear of herself one day defecting to the Nightmare Court, even though she also knows it's not likely.
"You know what I would want every sapling to know? Question everything. Question what you are taught, and the roots behind those teachings. Question the ways of the world. Question the words of authority. Have curiosity, have scrutiny, and learn how to interpret. Many of our downfalls have been due to us not questioning things. Taking things at face value. Taking things blindly. The world doesn't make enough sense for us to be doing such things. Question everything. Keep your curiosity alive. You will need it."
I haven't talked about NiGHTS on this blog since I started things back in 2023, but this series is one that is dear to me and has been since I was mid-way through my teen years - and this was one of the collaborations I was a part of for the 30th year anniversary with my NiGHTS: Into Dreams Wizeman contribution (alongside handling some administrative work)!
Everyone did such a good job on this collaboration, and it was an enjoyment to work alongside all the artists that contributed! Credits for each contribution are below the cut!
(There is a name discrepancy for my contribution - this is because we were using the names most recognisable for everyone within the server, thus CasualChaos was used instead of names I normally go by online!)

All that being said, I love you all so much and you're all valid no matter how you identify â¤ď¸ I will always be here for you as a place of love and acceptance if ever you need one. Stay safe, love yourselves, and know that there's always at least out there rooting for you, and that someone is me <3
Also I am not pan and neither is DEV or K9 I just like the colors
Ok getting real for a moment., this is my first pride as a man and I can't articulate how special that feels and how much that weighs on my chest (/pos)
It was pointed out to me by my friend bagel and I still haven't stopped thinking about it.., ueeueeuueeehhhh
After some thought today stemming from multiple previous prompts, I have come to feel that genderqueer is a label that sits right with me in regards to me. And I like it.
I still feel deeply like I am a woman, and thus I still see myself as cis. I am not a man, and nonbinary doesn't fit me as a label, not to me. But after reflecting on how exactly I socially express my womanhood and how I perceive it through my own lens, I feel that I am also genderqueer. And it sounds right. If it somehow changes in the future, then it somehow changes in the future. But I have come to realise that as of now, this feels right. I feel right being called a genderqueer woman. And I want to take pride in that.
So I finally went ahead and made my versions of the last two remembrance spirits I didn't have versions of yet last night, and I just. Entirely forgot to post them here. I will make proper references eventually but for now: the doodl <3
Etiyo is the only one that's extremely recent to my roster, given I only made them last night (and as the alt text mentioned they're designed with the idea of them being part-Manta in mind - though this decision I made on a whim)
Doroz has technically been around just a small bit shorter than Murtagh has, but wasn't used for a long portion of the past three years until I decided I wanted to revisit her after a long time and potentially include her in stuff with Mur, Rainier and Akir.
Murtagh's the signature spirit of mine that anyone who's been around my blog the last three years would probably recognise
Gawo is one I don't remember if I've showed on this blog before, but they've been around a good bit too - will be two years in February
For everyone's consideration: Remembrance Guide and Lightmending Guide are siblings.
Uvadus (my Remembrance guide) did in fact bite Genedix (my Lightmending guide) right after being prompted. Being scholars does not make either of them immune to Typical Sibling Behaviour(TM)
Had to let this marinate a bit before deciding I was happy with with. I do miss drawing my signature spirit (that barely looks like their original anymore) enjoying themself.
(Used a pose from @adorkastock as my reference for Murtagh's posing - and it was what made the piece come to be to begin with. Specific pose reference and Bluesky hyperlink under the cut.)
Pose reference used that made the piece come to fruition:
"Three years, and we're still going. Let's hope this flame lasts another year longer."
I'm honestly surprised my Sky: COTL fixation has been so continuous to the point that I still play it daily three years later, but I don't regret it. Here's to another year.
(Textless Version and Bluesky hyperlink in the cut)
Ultimately didn't draw as often as I wanted to this year, but I did what I could. I'm happy with what I did this year, all things considered, and even if I wasn't at my best for most of it I'd rather have something than nothing.
Pieces Included:
January: ""Two years, and we're still here, despite everything.""
February: N/A
March: "GEBURA"
April: "Seaside Rendezvous"
May: "I'm 20 now <3 And I do not feel like I am <3"
June: "Stale Cupcakes"
July: "The Times that Once Were"
August: "Travelling Spirit group with spirits I'm ill about, you know what that means"
September: N/A
October: ""Time will never take away the family that we have now."" (Redirects to my Sky: COTL askblog, rekindled-stars)
November: ""Unfortunately, we found out the hard way that the Valley's Village was not the best idea for someone like Sorcha."" (Redirects to my Sky: COTL askblog, rekindled-stars)
December: "I decided to go ahead and make myself a Fugi for some potential stuff I hope to do in 2026 if life is kind enough to me đ"
I'm not going to push myself to draw every single month next year. I thought I'd manage this year, but I didn't, and that's okay. I'm absolutely going to try to let myself be even more self-indulgent in 2026, though.
Last individual post for the year before I make my art summary for the year (last-minute), but I decided to go ahead and make myself a Fugi for some potential stuff I hope to do in 2026 if life is kind enough to me đso I wanted to share the individual images. Been a wip for several days, finished last night
Hey so guess who finally made their own iteration of Crab Whisperer. Meet Tilupipi, they're nb and go by they/she (they primarily). All this because of the video TGC put up that talks a bit about what to expect in update 31.5 and seeing the new daily that was showcased there.
The original concepts <3 I don't have a lore reason for why their face is darkstoned, but it's darkstoned. Also they're part crab because I say so
They are indeed together with my version of Saluting Captain (Eluso) and they do indeed end up waking her up at stupid hours of the morning with their antics. This is a regular occurrence. Eluso understands her spouse needs enrichment but could they also leave it for maybe 2pm instead thank you.
Also decided that Tilupipi is one of my characters that has a terrifying screech (alongside a few others, notably Murtagh, Granuaile and Nodata) and thus she is one of my Screecher Creatures(TM)
And because these two will not get out of my head: Saluting Captain x Crab Whisperer, but make it yuri
