"I'll Show You Why Mages Are Feared"

Impasto painting of Heechul from Super Junior. I’m looking to sell it for a decent price, since it was over $375 in materials to paint it. I’m looking to sell it for around $250, and I’m hoping to sell it soon. I’m trying to sell it for money for necessities, and I’m also looking to start these for commissions, because this was very fun to make. I’ll take offers for it, but I’m not looking to sell it for a small amount of money. Please message me if interested.

I really like having Aveline, Anders, and Varric in a party because if you flip through them in that order Anders looks like the middle stage of an animorph

Narcomoeba and Jace’s Phantasm are from here, and the whole plane seems to run on weird dream-logic: ideas and memories taking on physical form is a common thing.

Crack theory: Ashiok is either from here or (more likely) came here when their spark ignited and discovered the joys of inflicting terrible psychological harm.

Anyone want to weigh in?

[elspethsunschampion]

I am like 90% sure that it was confirmed at some point that Jace went to Iquatana at some point (although maybe I’m just assuming it based on the presence of the phantasm?)  

Okay, so let me see what I can do with Ashiok. (Forgive my shittiness at throwing together these cards in about two minutes.)

They hail from a plane where there are pockets of places where dreams become real, but those sites are sacred and no one is allowed there.  Ashiok was intensely curious about them, but respected their culture’s wishes and tried to follow the shamanic path that their parents expected of them.  Shamans on this plane are protectors of the dream-places but expected never to enter them.  In fact, no one has been allowed to enter these places for hundreds of years.

At first, Ashiok was content with their life, but they began to question things.  Why was no one allowed into the dream-spaces?  Eventually, their curiosity got the better of them, and one night they snuck into the place they were supposed to guard.  It was beautiful.  They saw all the dreams of the people close by, taken form and were fascinated by them.  Even by the nightmares, which were frightening but awe-inspiring.  They came back.

One night they tried to modify the dreams and realized they could.  They stopped one of their little sister’s nightmares.  From then on, they started protecting everyone by stopping all the nightmares that they could, and their people flourished, because they always had wonderful dreams.

When a neighboring group of people tried to attack their village, Ashiok defended it with their nightmares, but the village found out, and instead of thanking Ashiok for protecting it, they were horrified that Ashiok had trespassed in the sanctity of their dreams.

They turned against Ashiok and tried to kill them, believing Ashiok had been controlling them and had defied the gods.  Ashiok was beaten and dragged back into the village, where they struggled and pleaded, saying that they had only been trying to help.

The village elders disagreed, saying Ashiok had been doing it for their own glory and that they were to be executed.  Just before the execution, Ashiok angrily denounced the village and called upon their dreams and nightmares to defend them.  All the dreams and nightmares came to defend Ashiok, but at a cost they had not expected.  The people whose dreams had been taken from them fell at Ashiok’s feet unconscious, and the dreams began to devour them, their limbs fading to insubstantial smoke as Ashiok watched.

Ashiok panicked and tried to make the dreams stop, but they turned on Ashiok as well.  Ashiok could feel their mind and memories flowing away, but as they began to lose themselves, something new inside them awakened.

They were flung across the Blind Eternities, landing on a quiet, dream-like plane where they could learn to take control of their newfound abilities.

(Some of the card templating is just plane wrong–I threw these together and I only have mtgcardsmith so I don’t have enough room to fix everything, unfortunately.)

Kind of late, but rebageling for @planeswalkerpositivity (unless I’m off by a week and not late…either way.)

“True dreams are spoken of as coming through the gates of horn.”

Ashiok, what are you up to?

Also rebageling for late (early?) @planeswalkerpositivity

I was watching the movie Into the Woods and ended up sketching some DA2 Fairy Tale characters. So here’s Little Mage Riding Hood and the Smol Bad Wolf (aaand I may have also wrote out an outline for a silly fic to go with it because I’m ridiculous)

[brutereason]

Let me be crystal clear: if you’ve faced a tragedy and someone tells you in any way, shape or form that your tragedy was meant to be, that it happened for a reason, that it will make you a better person, or that taking responsibility for it will fix it, you have every right to remove them from your life. Grief is brutally painful. Grief does not only occur when someone dies. When relationships fall apart, you grieve. When opportunities are shattered, you grieve. When dreams die, you grieve. When illnesses wreck you, you grieve. So I’m going to repeat a few words I’ve uttered countless times; words so powerful and honest they tear at the hubris of every jackass who participates in the debasing of the grieving: Some things in life cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.
