Curious are you able to show the Tobi notes from the book? I do not think I have ever seen them and any Tobi content is blessing for me!

Sure thing !!! I don't have a scanner so I hope these pictures from my phone are good enough.

First image (left) is character art and description

The second picture (right) is artists notes on designing tobi. The book is amaziiing. There are so many notes from the art director and how they approached designing characters, and how they changed too

My favorite is the canine warriors. Apparently they were originally designed as humans !

Here's the cover if youre lookin to get one yourself

Random Okami headcanons that exist cause of my own delusional fanon rapid fire

------

Waka has been around serving Himiko's clan for well over 200 years, but he disappears so often(Likely trying to keep Orochi at bay at the moon cave and perhaps in hopes Ammy would eventually return)that citizens don't even realize it's the same guy(I mean they didn't even realize Rao wasn't really herself like???? They dense)

Rao kinda gets a little vindication at Ninetails because now it has to deal with the gawking of literally every man in a 2 mile radius FOR 2 MONTHS that she delt with for almost over 20 years at that point(my version of Rao is almost 30)

Also on that, Rao didn't move on because she wanted to keep an eye on Ninetails, but also because she wanted to be there to help Amaterasu figure things out when it came time Himiko died.

When Himiko died Rao was the person there for her when her soul was freed from the orb after puttinf her soul into it, I like to think she also waited for Himiko.

Himiko followed Waka around a lot as a kid, he was very emotionally distant cause he knew what would happen to her as an adult but of course he got attached and became a big brother figure of sorts for her.

The reason Rao even became regent really was because Himiko a. Really trusted her judgment, Rao was more around the public than her and b. Himiko really really really enjoys having Rao be around so often and while she had valid reason to picking her she also really likes the excuse to have her around so much.

Everyone close to Himiko and Rao(so not many people)know about her relationship with Rao and honestly, don't really question it. The emperor, her father kinda expected such, they're so close. Waka KNEW they'd end up together before they did. Himiko's handmaid, the one that's there everytime you go up to see Himiko, helps Rao sneak in to see Himiko or Himiko out to see Rao.

Veera seems like a cinnamon roll, I'd love to know if she's problematic 👀

Waited until we finished book 5 of Curse of the Crimson Throne!

Veera is my pf1e Slayer/Vigilante, now level 15. She is the daughter of Vudran immigrants in Korvosa, and has taken up the mantle of local vigilante in her efforts to take down a tyrannical queen choking the life of her city. She's generally neutral good, a real goody two shoes! ...But she's also done/said some pretty dumb stuff.

Has never told her parents the truth about what she does and where she's been. She's out away for weeks and months at a time and they have no clue where is!

The above included when a crazy deadly plague was sweeping through the city and everyone was forced to quarantine. She was out and about never returning home! They probably thought she'd caught it and died out on the streets.

It continued when martial law was declared and brutally enforced.

It continued even more when the district they lived in was forcibly isolated and quarantined, and she couldn't even get back to her family. Her parents and small army of aunties and uncles were worried sick and had no way of knowing she was fine - much less fighting tyranny, devils, daemons, and fighting a cult of Urgathoa backed by the state.

And when she did reconnect with her family, she had the audacity to show up with NEON COLORED HAIR!?!? Her mom literally wept. (Thanks 'lightly cursed' chameleon ring).

She played Blood Pig. So many innocent little pigs... dead because of her...

Most of the time defaults to killing her foes rather than letting them live. Most are unrepentent or truly monsters at least...!

And yet among the people she has spared are Red Mantis assassins (Desna asked us to tbf)... Kuthonites... Nosferatu vampire guy... wererat terrorists... a sakhil... hags... AND

Decided to ally and work together with a rival Vudran business family (mafia) that her father has warned her against her whole life and she is like 99% sure are actually rakshasas

Of which said family had kidnapped the superhero vigilante she looked up to her whole life and had also kidnapped the city seneschal who is the only person who can oppose the tyrant queen legally and let them be tortured by asuras. Of which he said "whoopsie doodle I gave them express orders NOT to do that teethee." She was able to look past this.

When she found out the identity of the vigilante she spent her entire life idolizing, she was... not happy or nice about it. Refused to become his successor and chose her OWN vigilante identity, acting cold and spiteful about his inaction and failures to fix the mess of their city.

100% knowingly drank very poisoned "beer" from a goblin in a sewer as an intimidation tactic, crushed the fort save, and then cornered the goblin and tried to force them to drink it themselves (said goblin turned out to be a greater barghest so don't feel bad).

When her friend was bit by a wererat she told him it was okay he could just buy a cage and lock himself up at night. (He did jsdljskldja)

Nearly killed a gargantuan wurm connected with the plane of fire that's a literal living legend and sacred beast to local Shoanti tribes trying to get it to eat her friend to recreate a myth for clout with them

Said wurm kept refusing to eat him, so she let it eat her instead rather than risk letting it die which denied him, also a Shoanti, a key moment to connect with his culture and heritage. The experience wasn't spiritual for her. She rather hated it lol (mmm super heated wurm viscera)

Tricked kobolds into thinking we wanted to pledge ourselves to their red dragon master so that they'd take us to his lair. We killed them. And the dragon.

Cooperated with Kuthonites on numerous occasions, including helping them retake an ancient castle that's been cursed for 700 years and was the home of a divinely sent blue dragon super turbo tyrant warlord chosen by Zonny Boy himself.

This castle has been under watch by the local orcs because said dragon genocided them in the past and they have taken oaths to never let him rise again - we ended up having to kill one of them to get past... sorry guy...

Fought a graveknight and upon learning they're unkillable so long as their armor sticks around, opted to throw the armor into a well without its weapons and let the cleric seal it with wall of stone.

Fought a mummy lord and upon learning they ALSO are unkillable (except by a series of convoluted means), dragged the not-yet-regenerated corpse into a star tower (the zon-kuthon created nails in Rovagug's cage) and shackled it into adamantine manacles.

In said tower, a "curate" was needed to keep it from decaying and thus weakening Rovagug's cage. A divinely sent nightwing asked us if we wanted the job. Obviously not, we're Kuthonites. Veera wanted to offer the souls of their Kuthonite allies (stuck in gems thanks to a demilich obliterating their bodies) directly to it assuming they'd be cool with it and thrilled to go directly to Zon Kuthon... instead of, you know, being resurrected

They in fact were not cool with it. Upon bringing them back and telling them the situation they tried to kill each other to force the other into being the new curate. Veera intervened and brutalized the instigator so badly in a single round that he dragged himself over to the nightwing and begged to be saved by taking on the role.

And this is why her vigilante persona, Raja, is chaotic neutral, and she herself is neutral good :)

First, ☀💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛☀☀☀☀🌞🌞🌞🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻 some sunshine and love for you, you deserve it <3

Second, ok. The Fellowship (& the others we love Arwen, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir, etc.etc.) have joined tumblr. Who's blog are you following first? What is it about?

(this one is kinda wild lol sorry)

Thank you 🥹💗💗💗

This is such a good one! I now want to take the time to actually figure out who would blog about what haha

My initial reaction was Sam because I think he would post tons of nature pics including what he’s currently growing in his garden and I would be all over that

Should we make a list of everyone’s blog?? 😆

💗 and 2 for the books!!!

Skipping Christmas - John Grisham

I was in the holiday mood until like 20 January this year haha. I read this book because Christmas with the Cranks was always funny when it was on the Disney channel like 15 years ago! Anywayyy, this book is terrible. Want some racism, misogynistic bullshit (oh my wife is such an emotional ball and chain! Help me, I'm a mediocre and miserable white man), and good ol' ethnocentrism. This is the only John Grisham book I've read and that probably won't change - prose and plot were just ok.

1.75/5

(Send me an emoji and a number and I'll tell you about the corresponding book I've read this year :) )

#rao reads #ask games #queen paladin #carrie <3 #moots <3 #such a miserable middle aged man perspective!#oh boo I fucking hate Christmas it's a waste of money and effort #even tho my wife does everything and all I need to do is show up before returning to my recliner #i have strong opinions on this novel apparently #sorry no. 2 was so shitty Carrie 😭😭
