I'm Rain or Rainbird, they/them genderqueer :v
IMPORTANT: I'm an adult so if you're a minor and that makes you uncomfortable I totally understand if you block me (you will have to also block @rainbirdart, that is the primary blog on this account and blocking the primary should stop me seeing your posts in the tags). You’re entitled to moderate your space, any adult that says otherwise deserves the block. Stay safe!

CONTENT WARNINGS
The ongoing story of the rainbirdsky blog has several themes that may be uncomfortable or upsetting to some readers/viewers.
While I attempt to keep the art I create and post safe to view, adult characters within the story suffer:
♦️Abuse (physical and mental, including mentions of past child abuse)
♦️Themes of identity/memory loss
♦️Trauma due to the death of those close to themselves and their society
♦️Issues with possessive and obsessive persons/stalkers
♦️Themes relating to psychosis and a loss of control
(Teal/Rainbird, the characters these tags affect are Spirits/Adults - while Teal’s siblings had a crappy childhood - hence the child abuse warning - I will never show that or go into detail because frankly I don’t want to. Essentially they were murdered. I don’t want to go into it more than that.)
This list may be incomplete. I welcome suggestions of new warnings I may have missed, and will attempt to keep it updated.
More info under readmore to save space on my dash.
I'm Australian and sadly only able to speak/read English.
I support BLM and LGBTQIA+ persons. I will not tolerate racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, ableism or any form of bigotry. This is not open for debate. Additionally I cannot forgive those who sexualise and hurt minors. I wish dark, hateful things on those who would harm a child.
I started playing Sky in September 2020 so I'm relatively new to the game. I'm essentially a fancy moth with an interest in OOB exploration and a more recent interest in Sky lore. I take a lot of screenshots because they're a really cool/useful art reference when it comes to limited colour palettes and lighting, as well as helping me work out the story of Sky’s downfall.
I have a few Sky OCs. The OC you’ll see most is Teal/Signet, the self-insert with the duck mask. This blog was named after Rainbird, a character named after myself who’s grown into their own separate character. As mod/player I generally wear Duck Mask (or play Teal) as it’s my favourite mask in the game and I’m very happy it returned!
TEAL AND RAINBIRD ARE ADULT SPIRITS. Rainbird died 22-24 years old and Teal died 28-30 years old. DO NOT SHIP THEM AT ALL.
I'm a bit awkward but generally happy to help where I can. I will be uncomfortable if minors ask to befriend me, but I’m open to chatting to other adult players. After it was pointed out to me some Tumblr users send messages on Anon so they don’t interact with fandoms with their main blogs I decided to keep Anon asks open but I will delete/ignore rude or inappropriate questions. You may ask my OCs questions, but this isn’t a dedicated ask blog and replies may come slowly or without art to accompany them.
Not sure what else to add but I will edit this post if I think of something. Thanks for reading!
yesterday i thought about changing up romig’s feathers to better fit the whole nightbird association they have with it,, but to be honest i still really like their black feathers that were based off of their black cape,,, their dark color palette in general helps them contrast with pb whos mainly in lighter colors
romig may look like their creature is dark but is actually light!! meanwhile its vice versa for pb (except you already can tell theyre a bully just from the way they hold themself 😭😭)
i might actually keep this design too as like.. an alternate form.. dunno how exactly i can integrate it storywise but whatevr
anyways here he is originally drawn 😭 i stuck the mask on afterwards.. (i didnt bother painting his eyelashes silver,,,)
The new feature, "Colored Light" introduced in the Season of Radiance, allows players to collect eight different base colors that will become available to gather from burning special Dark Plants in the realms. Use these base colors as their own dye, or mix them to create a total 72 colors!
The dye feature can be used with existing items too: Many of your capes, pants, tunics, and more have dyeable areas for you to customize! Preview possible color combinations as you select your favorites. Once you've decided and dyed your design, you can save up to two dyed versions of an item with the "Outfit Styles" option.
Additionally, dyes can not only be obtained by burning dye plants in realms but also from Season of Radiance spirits and future event guides
I am opening emergency commissions so I can pay some bills.
Send a request while they're still accepting!
I will be doing affordable sky children of the light illustrations for anyone who asks! My charges can be adjusted based on what you need. I just need to pay some bills and lost my job. So if you want something let me know!
Kinda been needing a break from some stuff I been working on so have some mega bird digital drawings because I think she is neat in all her cosmic glory. It helped me feel a little better too. ^^
protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later
And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"
