I accidentally unfollowed you while trying to send you an ask this is terrible.
You said you had ideas for a new self-insert? Would you be able to share any of them, by any chance?~
(I am SO curious about this haha)
thank you a bunch for asking void! i’ve sat my butt on this ask for forever, as i’m not the best introducing inserts out of fear i’ll do it and then slack on the f/o… but this is a blonde so i should have known better… i shared that doodle yesterday as a tease of her design and the ship cause i’m pretty funny like that…
allow me to introduce Naveah! (she/her), i’d like to note that i have again, genuinely not played or gone through everything of the k.h series but my friends are insane fans and i’ve also watched them play a good few times so. every source is just “trust me ok” and i simply do.
yknow how k.h has trios? yeah shes part of one. not a good one though… she’s stuck with male.ficent and pet.e oops. her mother who refuses to act like her mother and her bum ass coworker whos like a deadbeat uncle.
imagine you are abandoned and lost at a young age, a hopeless child with no sense of direction or idea of her family…until someone finds you, someone who promises great things of you and gives you a sense of purpose while also making you feel irrelevant and like you deserved to be left behind. except that said person is malefi.cent so maybe you’re cooked but you don’t know that. and maybe she relates to you even as clueless as you are but you dont know it either.
male.ficent raises her, sort of, she isn't exactly her mother and there is a twisted and deeply forged bond of sorts even before maybe pe.te. like a dark parallel to auror.a, naveah is raised under her hold and implanted with her ideals and dark plans from an early age. as she grows older, i am unsure if she’d ever be a ke.yblade wielder but she is certainly male.ficents first follower and in a sense there was no other choice for her.
as malefi.cent discovers of the other worlds by this old man ass bum she’d send out naveah to fend for herself— i mean, explore out there (even tho she is unaware she came of these same worlds) and this is where naveah i am still working on so i wont share what age or how long she roams around… in k.h1 though, she’s already returned long by then and is around for when ri.ku is under malef.icents control. her and pe.te are assigned different tasks to go out for and its usually a mess when they have to work together.
as always, i draft all my designs on dti cause i am a SWEAT with this game and i did this one in particular a long while ago with some help… (other pic for size)
from the colors, some k.h characters are based on disn.ey characters and i reflected this upon her. from the color scheme, the initial thought of this is malefice.nt…but there is another character she’s actually based upon that isnt malefi.cent. ill go to that another time tho…
naveah i’d describe as calm yet almost mechanical, she can easily go from capable and strong to a deer learning to walk if in the wrong situation. she was raised to be quiet, not take up space, and though she has deeper feelings and desires she doesn’t pursue them and genuinely believes its harmful to. she isn’t per say gloomy, but she’s often realistic in her ideals. something about her though is sometimes comically naive, a chess piece in a grand scheme she has never fully understood…
some extra silly fun facts:
• naveah likes to sing but malef.icent made her think its not useful and so she’s given up on it in any confident way
• she would know some magic and spells! i believe some of her moves would reflect a bit of malef.icents magic…
• i think she’d like poetry, definitely doesnt try to write any from worry itll be found but anytime she is exploring a new place i think she’d like to try to write some in her head based on what she sees as almost a way to take in her surroundings
i have so much more to work on, really, but for now i will leave it at this! i will expand on her dynamic with. that blonde. someday.
hi there void!! thank you for the gush pass \^o^/ I'm gonna use this opportunity to talk some more about RAMON because I love him (or, well, I suppose laserhawk ray in general - I'm sorry bUT I RECENTLY REWATCHED THE SHOW AND HE'S FRESH IN MY BRAIN.)
I've been lamenting recently over how I wished there was merch for him, whether official (still waiting on those 'in rayman we trust' shirts btw ubisoft) or unofficial. I've seen alot of keychains, charms, stickers and stuff going around, but it seems like I've missed every single one of them!
BUT! I recently got lucky and managed to snatch this cutie here during a preorder!! the lovely design is by AngyCortoons on twitter, absolutely delightful art ❤️
HE'S ADORABLE. he won't ship out until, like, march, but that's fine. then I can get pleasantly surprised when he does arrive!! I really need some new keychains, too. haven't gotten any new ones since... oh god, since 2018 or so when pickle rick was the funniest thing on the planet (...yes I do have a pickle rick keychain. do you see now why I Really Need Some New Ones pfffFFFT)
I'm SO EXCITED!! I can have ramon with me everywhere I go <3
Following on from your last post: I know there’s an interview with David Menkin, who (I think) is gay and voices Rayman here, where he said that several characters he’s voiced have indicated to him that they’re queer without it being explicit in the writing. I’ll have to try and track down the actual source but I see no reason why that wouldn’t apply to Rayman too~
ohhh, yeah! (and yep, you're right, david menkin is gay!) I'm sure if you're desperate enough and pull enough strings, you can apply that to rayman here... he doesn't really seem to care about his love life - considering the fact that it looks like it's mostly for show and also, y'know, he's seen with prostitutes. I wonder if he's mainly doing it just... because.
you could also argue that working for such a corrupt government would probably bury him fifty feet deep into the closet. as the voice of eden, they're very, VERY strict about how they want him to appear, since he's pretty much their poster boy.
...am I, more than likely, just making things up? yeah. but CAN YOU BLAME ME? I've only got six episodes to work off of over here! 😆
Uhhhhhhhhh bit of a problem here... I have not revealed this S/I yet! So, before I do any answering, I'd better introduce you to my Grick S/I. Say hi to Willow, or just Will if you'd rather!
(made with this picrew)
Anyway, here's the Q&A starting under the cut (WARNING: MASSIVE GH.OST TRI.CK SPOILERS AHEAD!):
Q2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?
A. Yeah, about that... The thing with this ship is that it's not set in the same continuity as the events of canon. Consider this a "Bad Future" of sorts — instead of Yomiel reuniting with his fiancée, he instead learns that she died just under halfway through his prison sentence and, despite Cat!Sissel's best efforts, she could not be saved. But just because your future didn't pan out as you hoped doesn't mean you can't try and make the best of your situation...
Regardless, Willow would enter Yomiel's life a short while after his release; she would have moved from overseas a few months prior. Sadly, I haven't thought about their meet cute just yet 😅
Q3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?
A. I get the feeling Willow would hit it off pretty well with Lynne. They're both unapologetically weird women, for starters! They'd have regular get-togethers at the Chicken Kitchen and swap all sorts of stories.
Willow and Cabanela would enjoy a pleasant, if at times tense, friendship. She wonders sometimes what it is about him that sets Yomiel on edge... If only she knew the whole truth.
Q5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?
A. For as long as she could remember, Willow has had an uncanny, Home Alone-esque way of knowing when a loved one is in danger. This intuition of hers has been put to the test as an adoptive mother of two kids (who I'm sure you'll meet soon enough!), to the point where Will could consider it a superpower if she were so inclined.
Q: 🖤 how do the two of you celebrate holidays or birthdays together?
A: Eden is... hard to buy for, so I try to plan in advance when it comes to finding a meaningful birthday gift. Some years, I've even tried to make my own gifts for her. The little flower pot in her quarters, for instance? I enlisted some help, but it was my idea, and I didn't mind getting my hands dirty to shape it. Looking at it now, I see one or two objective design flaws, but she's held on to it for years. That must count for something, right?
Q: 💙 do the two of you have a shared morning or evening/night routine?
A: There's something especially intimate about how we help each other brush our bedheads away. It makes everything feel that little bit more orderly.
And when it's bedtime, Eden swears by that last sip of warm milk. I personally prefer to brew tea but, ultimately, they're just different means to the same end.
