The Runic Guardians

Everyone has a story to tell

[tired-fandom-ndn]

Fantasy culture where instead of bouqets or whatever, a bride carries the carved skull of one of her ancestors, inlaid with jewels, so that their spirit blesses the marriage.

For brides without a family skull, an animal skull can be substituted. Wolf and deer skulls are the most popular, but one queen started a trend of weird wedding skulls when she carried the skull of a draft horse for her wedding to her sixth consort. There were opals set into the eyes.

[tired-fandom-ndn]

Bride: I know that it's tradition in our family to carry the skull of great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma Calendilia, but my beloved pet leopard gecko Ser Augustus III recently passed and I'd like to carry his spirit with me for this momentous occasion.

Mother:

Mother: Okay but I don't know if I have jewels small enough to fit in the sockets.

[red-dynabite]

Broooo I would also carry a horse skull with me.

Omg the desire to just write and share it with people fills me with such joy. It overwhelms me and fills my soul. I just want to write the beautifully crafted story that lives in my hesd, but it's so hard fighting the voices in your head of those that told you that you wouldn't be able to do it. That your story isn't worth it. When you are told that you suck at writing. But persevering anyway and writing what you love, being able to open back up and share it with those who are equally as passionate as your book/art/etc. It's so rewarding. Knowing hey I created that and I love it (and that's what's the most important) but the step further of hey they got to enjoy it too? That makes me happy stim.

When new angst hits you in the flesh and you're sad and then the creative juices smack you in the face with a hammer and suddenly your characters are about to have brand new ✨ trauma ✨ added to their lives

One quiet day on the farm, the Little Red Hen found some wheat seeds and decided to make bread.

"Who will help me plant these seeds?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Horse "But I'm a workhorse, and I'm too busy moving carts around."

And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.

"Who will help me harvest the wheat?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Dog "But I'm a guarddog, and I'm too busy keeping away burglars and predators."

And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.

"Who will help me bake the flour?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Pig "But I'm a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I'm too busy taking care of my young."

And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.

"Who will help me eat the bread?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"We would." said the Farm Animals. "But we're ashamed, for we didn't do anything to make the bread."

"Nonsense!" said the Little Red Hen. "You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You've all helped me so much by simply being you."

"Besides," the Little Red Hen added. "I couldn't possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me."

And so the Little Red Hen and the Farm Animals ate the bread together. And all saw their own, and each other's, worth.

He's just a babyyy

I say like he isn't 6 foot 4 with trauma and the ability to kill an entire hoard of soldiers in 10s.

He’s a gremlin that one

Introducing my Gremlin of a Child Zimri! 

He’s one of the main characters in my book. He’s tiny little package of a dragon shifter, raised by elves, and ready to take on the world. He’s always seeking adventure and freedom from the long list of rules he would rather not follow. At the first chance he gets he runs off into the woods to join the Dragon Shifters. However, that plan doesn’t go exactly how he imagined it. 

Zimri is loyal to a fault and probably just as petty. He’s a master at persuasion, often able to weasel his way into getting exactly what he wants in any situation. He’s stands right on the edge of ‘act now and ask questions later’ and ‘I’ve already thought of every possible plan and if we execute it perfectly we’ll be solid.’ Somehow he’s as equally dense as he is smart. He’s a bit brash but his heart is full and ready to care for his entire team. 

Nobody knows what this dragon shifter is running on but it appears to be luck and a breadstick.

The interpretation of Rise Raph as a 'perfect responsible soft boy uwu' is so BORING I'm sorry, Raph is a rowdy adrenaline junkie with anxiety and I won't take this slander any longer

Raph secretly kept an enemy soldier in their actual literal house as a sparring partner. Raph glued his brothers together and dragged them out to fight crime. Raph once asked Leo to punch him in the face to prove he 'takes damage like a boss.' Raph tried to lift a school bus, twice. Raph offered to help his favorite wrestler beat his little brother up. When Leo suggests evacuating Bullhop, Raph says no bc the best defense is a good offense babey. Raph's idea of a 'friendly chat' with April's upstairs neighbor is to put on a black ski mask and go stand menacingly at their door. It takes Raph 10 episodes to conclude that they should MAYBE start training. Raph's plan to get a potentially priceless (and potentially FRAGILE) museum artifact is to punch a car in the middle of a busy street and also cut it in half with his brother still inside.

Raph's never met a problem he wouldn't try to punch in the face and does not know the meaning of the words 'excessive force.' He roughhouses with his bros and drags them out to fight villains and thinks any plan that doesn't involve an all-out brawl is boring and lame. He'll do anything to protect his family from harm and be a hero, but also he eats wet salami off the floor and once single-handedly destroyed a library.

I just adore how, at his core, Rise Raph is such a classic Raph—impulsive and stubborn and caring and passionate. He is a very sweet, strong, honorable guy who has a very powerful sense of personal responsibility... and he is also the exact kind of jock who throws you in the pool at a party without checking if you have your phone in your pocket first.

He´s so stupid I love him so much.

rise raph also has autism swag: a post

so basically heres a quick little cap collection just of some of raph not getting social cues or reading tones etc

01. minotaur maze, calls leo out on being up to something only because of the use of the word “indubitably” (bonus: so into behavior pattern/routine that even though leo admits outright that he lied to get them to do the maze, raph just continues having half an argument like leo denied it)

02. mrs cuddles, raph is fully wholly completely unaware of the suspicious pre-prank energy his brothers and april are giving with their faces, actions, and tones of voice. like he fully 100% does not suspect a thing

03. stuck on you, raph does not pick up on the fact that his brothers are CLEARLY only saying that the teamwork ball they complained about all episode ~really did make them a better team and they wanna get back together~ to make him feel better bc he was sad it got wrecked
