Redesign of an NPC from my girlfriend's COS campaign :) He needed a new outfit because he broke his vows as a nun (by fucking my PC jkdfhskds). Then, he devoted himself to her and her kin... inadvertently becoming a Warlock of her ultra-powerful father... so, here is his Casual Form and his Fear Form. His pants are Like That because his old design was slutty and I didn't want to lose that, but I wasn't sure how to translate it :// here is his old design!

never posted this here, a leetle doodle of my bard yesper (of curse of strahd fame), currently being put through the horrors of bg3

According to the audiobook, 'Jesper' is actually pronounced 'Yesper' and while that actually does make sense, it's kind of cringey and it gives a whole new dimension to people calling him 'Jes', doesn't it?

Soooo, I took a moment to think about this, and I think I finally came to a conclusion. I've known that his name is pronounced 'Yesper' for some time already but I always read it 'Jesper' because I've been corrupted by the English language.

However, I think the nickname 'Yes' sounds cringy only in English (assuming English = Araluen) and similar languages because in other languages and mainly, in Skandian, the word 'Yes' doesn't have the same meaning as the Araluen (English) version of it. It doesn't have the meaning of an expression of agreement, but it can just be a nickname.

I tend to forget that the Herons do not usually speak Araluen (English) but Skandian. (Btw, I have written a whole thing about my headcanons for the language abilities of the crew, but back then I considered Araluen and the Common language as two different languages.... and I am still not sure about it.) However, to be honest, I think that to be able to see the right perspective, I would have to learn some Scandinavian language and read the BB translation of it... let's call it a long-term project.

But... can we like talk about the confusion the Herons cause when they just randomly put the word 'yes' into the sentences while they are in Araluen?

Well, the High Rollers Crew asked for it, so I decided to deliver🐛🍂🎲

We Didn’t Start The Mire based on their Curse of Strahd campaign and Billy Joel’s We didn’t start the fire.

This is pretty much a summary of the events of HR COS up to episode 33, so obviously beware the spoilers!

Disclaimers: As much as I would like to be a kickass Alto, a kickass Alto I am not. Instead I’m one of dem High Sopranos, so the pitch of this song is... not exactly ideal for my voice. I’m also not a native english speaker, so please let me know if you find anything gravely wrong with the lyrics! I also don’t know the first thing about mixing music, so I’m aware that this is very amateurish, but despite my terror of the whole fandom laughing at this, somebody might end up liking it, hopefully, so here we go! The ending part was a last minute idea, but I like it :) I’m sure other’s have done something like this much more successfully already, but I’m actually pretty proud of how my lyrics turned out, so I wanted to share it anyways😊

Anyways, enough excuses, lyrics can be found under the cut, background track by ProSound Karaoke Band! Headphones probably help and check out High Rollers!

Travellers in Barovia,

Ravenloft and Bonegrinder,

The Kolyanas, Madam Eva, and Taroka Decks.

Shadow beyond the Veil,

Rose summons thorn and hail,

Yesper and the Dragonborns,

Vallaki is not safe.

Xiiki comes back from the dead,

But there’s something that she lacks,

Shadow figures, giant snail,

Bones of St. Andral.

Silver Dragon, He-Who-Grins,

Don’t you trust the Mystan-Twins,

Pacts made with Asmodeus,

Ireena is Tatyana.

We didn’t start the Mire,

It has always been here,

Before Strahd had sowed fear.

We didn’t start the Mire,

No, the earth is rising,

And it’s socialising!

Sunsword and Mad Mage,

Strahd is full of rage,

Towers are collapsing,

And Xiiki’s down again.

Shadow dies and Rose is grieving,

Yesper’s mad and Xiros’ scheming,

Ismark is a himbo,

And Strahd just fucking sucks.

Mistrust, secret deals,

Giving Xiiki guilty feels,

Dogsbody gives some hope,

Turns out he’s a lycanthrope,

Yesper-Xiros-heart-to-heart

Helps drawing another card,

Ezmerelda joins the Gang,

But she’s too intolerant.

Chorus

Scarecrows, Wereravens,

Vineyards and green gems,

Dragons walk their own way,

Nearly ends in TPK.

Xiros, Xiiki are no more,

Living in Avernus lore,

Tom and Rhi make new plans,

Coming back as the lands.

Party is completely torn,

But therefore the Mire’s born,

Bugs and shrooms are everywhere,

Lysaga isn’t fighting fair,

Flying skulls and kidnapped kids,

Snakes are being little shits,

Grasping vine and darkness cast,

Yesper isn’t made to last.

Chorus

Nope-ropes are cut in twain,

House is in rock throwing range,

Strahd owes me money now,

Yesper’s taking his last bow.

Finally the zombie dies,

Ireena makes a sacrifice,

Hut’s defeated, Rose is sad,

Ding dong the witch is dead.

Second relic is unveiled,

The party’s plans are derailed,

Because Ezmerelda’s back

In the town of Krezk.

  Chorus

Crystal ponds, abbey bells,

Alvaski versus truth spells,

Shadow’s breaking all our hearts,

Dead ducks don’t fly backwards.

Tracking down Vasilka,

Ismark of the Opera,

Stitched together angel pricks,

Silvered weapons, magic kicks.

Vasilka’s tearing wolves apart,

Alvaski’s story hurts my heart,

Rose’s quest is Shadow’s rest,

Mark, we all are fucking stressed!

Mirewolf and werewolf dens,

Laughing fits and opened cans,

Tom and Trotty ship their boys,

HR fandom make some noise!

This drawing is called “Eww I hate drawing the Mire so much and I don’t know why I did it again but I guess here’s some CoS fan art”, I hope you enjoy it because I sure didn’t!

[glitterfiasco]

One step ahead

I'm sorry my old friend

Don't deny I was the better spy

I liked you better when you were dead

Finally got around to finishing this drawing for my High Rollers Curse of Strahd Spies are Forever AU!
