Summer (Aestas), from "The Seasons"

Pieter van der Heyden Netherlandish After Pieter Bruegel the Elder Netherlandish Publisher Hieronymus Cock Netherlandish 1570

"Conceived of as one of a four-part series on the seasons, this image represents the activities traditionally associated with the summer months: fruit picking for June, hay harvesting for July, and corn harvesting for August. It complements the engraving of Spring (1570), the only other in the series to have been completed after Bruegel's design. Pieter van der Heyden did the engraving after Bruegel's drawing, in which figures were rendered left-handed so as to be right-handed in the reversed print image. Depictions of the seasons were common in Northern European manuscripts, paintings, and prints. Bruegel used his sharp eye for humorous detail and his pitch-perfect characterization to portray summer as a time of thirst-inducing, if somewhat disorganized, labor. The daring motif of having the foot of the enthusiastic drinker in the foreground overlap the lower border of the image serves to underscore the unbridled nature of his behavior. The actions of these peasant workers have the tendency, the image seems to suggest, to overstep the boundaries of proper habits or good taste. In the border below, the central portion of the inscription reads "Summer, image of youth," succinctly associating the progression of the seasons with the ages of man."

Alright! Here's all of the characters I've been comm'd to make tokens for on The Wondering Menagerie, a dnd actual play on Twitch, every Tuesday evening around 7:30pm AEST.

With the informal tagline "Gods, Goats, and Gays" we've been steadily trying to uncover the secrets of this new world we've found ourselves in and how the multiverse went kaput!

In order of appearance: My half-eladrin magical mess Aestas, Lucie's half-elven oathbreaker Allwyn, Palm's warforged druid(?) Con, Rae's harengon striker Fray, Flip's wood elf 'bookwyrm' Kine, Allie's clockwork reborn warlock Sera, and Thomas's tiefling pallylock Tezzrik. I've loved playing alongside all of them, and their characters were a delight to draw.

∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ have a bunch of these!!

It's a heave-ho! ho-ho! Coming down the plains And I'm stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a ho-hey! hi-hey! Farmer bar your door When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shore

from The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, by the Derina Harvey Band

For a pretty long time this has been associated in my head with Captain Celaeno from the G4 MLP movie, as someone who abandoned menial work to be a pirate; I actually based a D&D character off her and used this song as her theme, creating a whole town based on the song:

A seed of an idea, like mustard greens Like newborn fingers Curled and half asleep Awake with a thunder from underneath Stretch up and reach through The hardest part of me

from Rio Grande, by the Oh Hellos

A lot of Zephyrus vibes with Aster and the Accidental Magic for me (in general the Oh Hellos have that vibe), but this particular song I really like for Aestas, as an immortal being but one who's just a normal person who I tend to headcanon as pretty lonely before she meets Aster:

They sat down together, the grass it was green And the day was the finest that ever was seen The look in your eye beats a mornin' in May I could lay by your side till the next market day

from Next Market Day by Noel McLoughlin:

I haven't listened to this one in a long time, but it does already have an association for me; the story of meeting an alluring stranger while out travelling really vibed with N and his relationship with Hilda (or FerrisWheelShipping) from Pokemon Black & White:

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel Like our time is running out? I'm going to change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

from The Phoenix, by Fall Out Boy

This is a weird one, because this song is actually a theme for two completely different characters in my head; it has always been Mai's theme in my Multiverse AU, but now it's also Sasha's Calamity theme in Titanomachy, largely because their arcs are very similar:

There beside the singing river That dark mass of men were seen, Far above their shining weapons hung Their own beloved green. Death to every foe and traitor, Forward strike the marching tune, And hurrah me boys for freedom, 'Tis the Rising of the Moon.

from The Rising of The Moon, by the Clancy Brothers feat. Tommy Makem

Thanks to a mod, this is already a theme in my head, specifically the main theme of Nora (as general) and the Commonwealth Minutemen in Fallout 4:

When the world seems grim and dark When the sky won't show a star When fog is thicker than the sea Travel through the blackest night In the forest hides a light You'll find it if you follow me

from Oh The Bliss, by Dan Romer feat. Jenny Owen Youngs

All of the cult music from Far Cry 5 is associated with Infinity Train, and specifically the Apex, in my head; both versions of Oh The Bliss are actually Hazel's themes, partially due to the vibes and partially due to the line "In the forest hides a light":
