Thought I’d share these really stupid character vibes texts posts

[commanderfloppy]

Finally got around to doing a voice claim video! I only have 4 because I haven't found the right voice for a lot of characters.

Thank GOD I still had gold after making my legendary, this was a need

if you'd still like to answer some, general 2, 6, and 9 from the ship ask game for whoever you'd like? :) @kerra-and-company

YES  I Would LOVE to answer some! (Currently basking in my own blorbo ship content) 

I’m gonna answer for a mix of blorbs!

2. Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?

Rococcus and Link probably did have a somewhat official ‘first date’, their confession takes place around the Shiverpeaks leg of their journey so I’m gonna say this first date takes place in Hoelbrak. 

They go ice skating together on Lake Mourn (there is a lot of falling over and laughter), then once sufficiently bruised and tired from that they probably go to one of the lodges to warm up.  

They get some good norn brew to try together and get a bit drunk while talking by the fire. I can definitely see a conversation going where Link is like: 

“I still don’t get it, if you liked me then why did it feel like you were avoiding me so much??” (<--- Guy who normally gets very flirty and touchy when he likes someone)  

“That’s because I felt guilty…” 

“Guilty for what?? I can’t imagine anything you’d be feeling guilt for…unless you still feel bad about trying to take me to the Grove, I thought I told you-”

“No not that!”

“Then what is it?” 

“I was having….inappropriate thoughts..and dreams…….about you.” (He is blushing heavily and looking deeply ashamed) 

“Th..that’s it?!” (Words of a man who is horny every day of his life trying hard to understand Rococcus’ feelings and not do a victory dance right there) 

6. What’s their relationship with each other’s families?

Floppy and Yu-lan are still kind of growing into a thing, but they probably have interacted with some part of each other's families. 

Kai treats Floppy like you would your ‘mom’/boss's girlfriend. Mostly just very light interactions, he doesn’t care THAT much about Yu-Lan’s love life. He does have a bit of a serious / silent judgment moment when he first meets Floppy, ‘is this really the commander?? She seems way too normal…’

Taimi doesn’t interact with Yu-Lan too much because she’s often busy in the lab, but when Floppy first brought her over to the place her and Taimi had been staying in Cantha they had a pretty good conversation. Taimi 100% looked at Flopps with some kind of <( ͡° ω ͡°)> face, she is so teasy about Floppy starting to be in a relationship. Oh and you KNOW she is constantly updating the Dragon’s Watch group chat on all this

Gorrik was a little apprehensive at first ‘Time to employ my detective skills to make sure this woman isn’t some assassin here to kill the commander..’ , but after talking with her a bit and exchanging some bug/plant facts (she told him some of the best plants to use as food to attract certain bugs), he warmed up to her and likes her a bit. 

Aurene also thinks she’s pretty neat and is happy her champion is finding someone to spend time with and relax. 

The rest of the Dragon’s Watch crew is just following Taimi’s updates with varying levels of interest.

9. Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear?

Tori is definitely a big culprit of this and will whisper anything from flirty things to inside jokes in Tybalt’s ears. They will be at some Dragon’s Watch meeting or something and he’ll lean over and whisper a dirty joke about whatever enemy they are talking about fighting, Tybalt has gotten so good at containing laughter from this. 

On the flip side if Tybalt ever does this back to Tori (which is sometimes) she never expects it and will burst out in laughter.

Something something It was bunny day (I think) something something. Uhh.... Look I just wanted an excuse to draw my characters in cute bunny outfits.

Filled out that Blorbo Bleebus chart for my two beloved plants (Who have consumed my thoughts a lot recently)

Might fill out for others but for now these two <3

random question for you: what's the deal with rococcus's time in the vigil? it sounds like it was a Ride (TM) @kerra-and-company

Yeahhh it kinda was, I’ll start from the beginning.

TW: Uhh death and talk about war and stuff.

When Rococcus was born he had dream with a very clear cut Wyld Hunt, he was a soldier and fought a dragon..ok well we know what you’re doing.

So after about a month of getting to learn some basic principles of the world and Ventari tenants he is sent off to join the Vigil. He is ok with this because ‘my hunt is pulling me towards it and I like the idea of protecting people :)’

Once in the vigil baby recruit Roco gets taken under the wing of an older sylvari who was also called to join the vigil, Delwyn.

Rococcus really appreciates this new mentor and also develops a bit of a crush on them? (Kinda, it never fully formed since they still kept their distance sometimes so roco never really felt any solid attraction, kinda that ‘this person is really cool I like them as a friend…I think?’ Limbo)

The first year or so in the vigil are pretty good! The missions Roco went on were mostly focused on helping people escape the grasp of dragon corruption, clearing travel routes, getting aid. There were rough moments and some losses, but he was helping people and this was his destiny it’s fine it’s good..

Then the pact formed and the fight turned to Zhaitan. This is when things started to go to shit. Roccocus already felt a lot of strain from the fact that the pull of his Wyld Hunt got a lot more magnified the closer they got to Orr, the pressure of knowing this is what he’s meant for and that it was getting closer was a lot.

Once the assault on Orr started a lot of casualties happened, including ones full of squadmates he once knew, and because he’s a guardian (with purifying flame magic) it fell to him to thoroughly burn those fallen soldiers so they couldn’t be revived by Zhaitan, even those who hadn’t quite died yet (Delwyn helped by putting them out of misery swiftly before the cremation happened though).

So yeah now he’s here at this shit ass place that smells like dead things, basically everyone he’s known has died and he was the one who had to see them dead. And this whole time as horrible things happen around him an invisible string of fate is pulling him along, closer to even more suffering, (which he’s becoming less equipped to deal with because all this stress is making his magic start to fuck up and get weaker).

This all comes to a head during the final attack on Zhaitan, through some way (possibly the airship they were on crashing) Rococcus and Delwyn are stranded on the ground as the air assault continues, but things are close to being finished. While the injured Roco and Delwyn wait for rescue, some leftover risen from the ground assault attack them. He tries his best to provide cover with his magic, but it doesn’t work well enough and the barrier breaks. Delwyn is shot dead before his eyes as the last risen falls.

He sits there on the battlefield, the pull in his chest dissipates, it’s done…he’s done… everything is over

So uhh all his friends died and he got fucked up…have this drawing…sorry

It took me 6 months of slow working but I finally finished this!

It was so much fun to do, and was really giving me good memories of my old Deviant Art days (I remember wanting to do these so bad)
