Dazzling Rain - a W.I.T.C.H. fanfiction

Hello again..... so..... this is a short story which, i should say, may be a bit of a spoiler to anyone who might have planned to read Trials (and so is the following text here)

it is really just very chill and fun and sort of adventurous story annnd with some pre-ship chemistry :)

see I felt like a ship about "controversial character/character who appears in 2 issues" was too mainstream, so now I moved even nicher to "character who appears in 2 issues/OC"

This OC is, welllllll, doctor Kettuah, drawn so wonderfully and posted just today by @i-plague-eater in here where he sits with Yarr, cause like, that is who he is shipped with :)

So, here the story reveals how it happened that Yarr started to develop a crush

unexpectedly maybe, cause their first meeting was a bit weird to him (as is flashbacked in the 1st chapter of Trials)

But you know

Maybe Yarr will, as he always does, offer some help to this guy, out in a forest

Maybe they will be assailed by a violent Basiliadean storm, in which rain washes down from atmosphere the scorching Basiliadean holy light

Maybe they will get to know each other better and Yarr will have some hots that do not come from the skies

I don't know... O.O

Ad the image up there - you know, i was at this leisurely acrylic painting workshop and i painted this sort of psychedelic variation on a certain moment in this story, blurred in with its general symbolic meaning. It's Yarr's hand :)

Thank you if this really specific story takes your interest and you click the link! I do think it is fun :))

one more himechan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After I gave up on work today, I'd like to make a note on Basiliadean astronomy

So long I wondered what they actually meant by the eclipse. I even sometimes thought, if they did not mean rather a conjunction of the suns or sth, which would be why this red surge of light streams into the temple then?

Then I noticed that I somehow have missed this simple picture

Like how have I missed that???

They have two moons in Basiliade, as well, and they just cover the suns, like kind of what happens when there is a solar eclipse

So, I like really get why it is rare

Maybe I missed that cause when there is cool action Orube, you just look at cool action Orube

But well.. it really is just a great wonderful discovery that

<33 they also have two moons in Basiliade <33

isn't it nice

p.s. i still dont get what the surge is supposed to be, but i kind of like that it is open to headcanons then, like a lot of basiliadean lore, so let's go wild

P.P.S. EDIT OK NONONO WAIT it is like both???? I think i maybe read the following panels in the past, thereby remembering the conjunction notion, but then i forgot where i got it... you know I have to confess i have read all the yarr scenes 1200 times, but the whole issue maybe only a normal amount of times..

I should have made the research with more focus ... all right, but then ............

it is at the same time a certain eclipse by some two moons, because there are obviously some two celestial objects that do not posses a glow of their own, so it is not the suns. They cover the suns apparently, so it is called an eclipse. But at the same time the suns align into a conjunction and generate the surge. While they are covered by the moons? It seems that two different celestial events are somehow aligned here, too

Also apparently Orube can see the two suns covered quite far from one another in the sky, and then only in quite a short time they are suddenly aligned - meaning the rotation of either the double suns around one another, or the rotation of the planet around them, or the combination of the two, is very fast, but wiki says that at least the former is quite possible

but then the conjunction wouldnt be so rare, right?

see, if the suns were aligned from the beginning, one moon could just cover them, and then they would dawn over its edge, you know, they call it a dawn, but why are there the two moons then in the first picture... I am more confused than I was before. It may be that it is again something not so well thought through, but I really hope I am rather missing something. Pls help. Tell me your scientific opinions. Thank you.

Still I'm glad that basiliade has two moons to poetically observe at night or something.

"Trials" Fanfiction: the Cast - with pictures!

My dear friends, I have been promising to some of you for a very long time to post a story about the 4th arc, about what was going on before, and especially after the (in)famous meeting of Yarr and Himerish (aka Oracle) by the Fire Lake in Basiliade. This may finally happen in a few days. Yet meanwhile, I have decided to give some "coming soon" info on the cast, top people of all worlds, canonical and OC - you know, some PR. Well, here they are.

Note: in my lore, average Basiliadean life-span is ca 350 years (ca same year-length as Earthly), but till about 30 people age as Earthlings (didnt want them to be kids for 40 years or sth).

Canonical, yet violently headcanoned characters:

Himerish

308 yo

occupation: former Basiliadean master → former Oracle → amnesiac outcast → applicant for Basiliadean mastership → ?

repressed escapist

will politely smile at his own funeral

poetically speaking needs to remember humanity and love

practically speaking needs to remember how to clean himself after using the bathroom

Yarr

293 yo

occupation: master at the Garden of Two Suns; defying the notion of retirement

uses bitchface to look as a serious warrior, rather than the tourism-enthusiastic senior he truly is

expected to calmly enjoy positive results of his life-long therapy

did not expect to be facing his youth drama now that his knees have started to hurt daily

found out that therapy did not resolve everything

Ih-Shui

58 yo

occupation: mistress at the Garden of Two Suns, former apprentice of Yarr

cupcake with a sword

understands more than most people around, but sometimes needs a push to speak up

spends quite some time taking care of her ageing widowed father master by listening to his crap patiently

Kilubi

49 yo

occupation: mistress at the Garden of Two Suns, former apprentice of Yarr

will whip you without skipping a beat

does the push for Ih-Shui quite often

spends quite some time taking care of her ageing widowed father master by murdering any person who but looks at him impolitely

Orube

53 yo

occupation: Kandrakar-trained Basiliadean chosen one, Earth-based journalist and world saviour

is there to show the true swag and knock out everyone on the way

literally embodies everything where Himerish failed, Kandrakaring, Basiliadeing, she even took extra class of Earthing

also big respect she wasn’t all like what the hell is actually going on here, am I going insane, nice to meet you people btw

Will Vandom

should be 17–18 yo I suppose, but Heatherfield is a fortress outside of the flow of time

occupation: Earthly high-schooler, leisurely world saviour, temp at a pet store

basic human(e) interaction simulator for Himerish

may function as beginner level, cause she can understand his responsibility trauma

Cornelia Hale

ditto, as for age

occupation: Earthly high-schooler, leisurely world saviour, ground-breaker in all possible senses

is there to roast their boss to ashes and enjoy herself

OCs:

Atni

389 yo

occupation: retired elder at the Garden of Two Suns

former strict queen and legend

kind of enemies to too tired to be enemies any more with Yarr

currently considered a wonder of nature for not being dead at her age

wildly enjoys that she can say literally anything without consequence now

Kettuah

deceased :( only in flashback, would be 297 yo

occupation: doctor at the Garden of Two Suns, enthusiastic gossip-collector

always ready for a bit of fun, offence, and other pleasures of life

one of the few at least half-sane on the list

while also one of the few never entrusted with a deadly weapon as the main job, as it tends to be

Qanu

347 yo

occupation: honourable elder at the Garden of Two Suns

a nice person, but he’s got his limits ffs

everything lies on his shoulders

thinking of retirement on every birthday, but the Garden would probably collapse

only the highest secretary knows that he sometimes keeps his feet in bath salts under the desk

Leruqe

328 yo

occupation: honourable elder at the Garden of Two Suns; currently the Garden’s event planner

feels important

queen of passive aggression

Yaveh

231 yo

occupation: highest secretary at the Garden of Two Suns

Bernard Woolley of Basiliade

spends his life running from one important person to another

would laugh much more in the office, if he was allowed to

So... here they all are.

Coming soon...

yeah maybe edit: it's already there :)

Trials - a W.I.T.C.H. fanfiction

All right, I think I posted it haha. Apparently that old nice ao3 linking preview still does not work tho?

Anyway. This is a story of what was going on in the 4th arc, Trial of the Oracle, in Basiliade, shortly before Himerish and Yarr met, and especially after. There is fencing, there is fear to face one's human existence, one's past, one's present, one's idealised memories, one's repressed anger etc... there is the question of change and eternity. But there is also fluff and resolution and hope, and there is <3 the power of friendship and love <3 as the ultimate magic

I decided to post this gradually, but it is already written really, so no false promises! It has 8 chapters + prologue and epilogue, so I suppose I'll go ca 2 chapters every week or so. Now there is prologue and first two chapters

Through the Waterfall - about the days that lead to the meeting and some funny memories and reflections on the upcoming eclipse of the two basiliadean suns

Into the Lake - well... that is the one of the canonical meeting by the lake, but with some extra seasoning. I really enjoyed myself writing this one.

All chapters have water in their titles. If you ask me why, Im not sure. But there was a lot of water in the story. Like water is often a symbol for emotion and/or transformation. But I mostly just rolled with it.

Btw big thanks to @i-plague-eater <3 for mental support and consultations, although later I pushed into her rather some related spinoffs haha. And to people in discord server Cedric's Screaming Closet for our discussions and everything <3

Thanks also to anyone who clicks the link, and I hope you enjoy this :)

The two iconic lake scenes merged

it's been a while since i did some proper goofy yarr/himerish memes

[krchar]

All right maybe I'm completely delusional in this, but I have like, an idea.

I was thinking about trying this whole tumblr community feature and thought about like starting a

Kandra-Basiliadean community

what do you people think? Does it make sense? I mean it is so specific, there is very little of us, but like there are some people. Even those who just have this as side interest. Also maybe some may be encouraged to talk about it more. I dont know. It would be just fun really. There is more details and a poll under break.

Am I a person brainrotting over niche topic craving attention to her own crap and HCs?

Yes, of course.

Am I craving other people's stuff, opinions, brainrots and 2am exclamations of love for a two sun land cat-folk????

ALSO YES

I wish to connect. I mean all we could have. All the wonderful deep Orube lore totally. Old Kandra-Basiliadean crew, like Luba, Endarno, Hime-Oracle, Yarr, even their adopted Kandra friends, which means mainly Tibor and Yan Lin, their less known mates, like Kilubi and Ih-Shui, Sharr, not to mention all your OCs. All the HCs and metas about the world.

I literally feel like 10 members with 3 posting from time to time and 7 just liking would be explosive success. But who knows. Here's a poll, tell me pls. Spread the word (aka reblog pls). Thank you for reactions!

Would you join this community?

I'd join and post stuff (fics, fanarts, recs, HCs, metas, 2am emotional cries)

I'd join and react.

I'd join and just quietly observe (totally understandable)

I may join but I need time to decide, it is a lot of responsibility to take!

Voting ended onMar 6

(I dont include negative answers, cause like that is kinda irrelevant.)
