as per tradition (usually on twitter tho but might as well share here too) here are some pics from the last 12 months.

notable occurrences: nothing big - thank god! cut old ties and forged new ones. work = good! friends = better! coping mechanisms = healthy! have i made croissants from scratch like i promised myself i would this time last year? no. but i did make cinnamon rolls like four different times and they always went down a treat. small wins!

#selcaem #this last year has been steady!!!!!! #big moves in 24/25 though! concerts- travel- weddings- flights- #it’s all coming up shardminds

"A consciousness of living rock and crystalline formations that have learned to form a humanoid body." Shardmind Shadow Binder from Dungeons and Dragons.

It was a lot of fun to work on this character for Kevin! 😄 I miss playing DnD!

[the-world-annealing]

The hilarious thing is that D&D has gotten so big and monopolizing within the fantasy genre that it now even eclipses its own past.

If a fantasy setting had humanoids made out of telekinetic crystal swarms or warriors that shape the souls of magical beasts into arms and armor or psychic infiltrators that can literally steal the memory of their passage that would be considered innovative and weird and genuinely novel which is funny because all those things are of course drawn from the last twenty years of that very same game.

[dungeons-and-dictions]

My first D&D character was a Shardmind learning the ways of mortals and… emotions. Once she made a joke!

The Joke:

Shardmind: *enters the room the rest of the party has been apprehended in*

Guard: And where were you?

Shardmind: I had to use the bathroom???

Guard: *brain melts attempting to envision it*

Party: *definitely not barely holding it together*

Shardmind: *nonchalant*

Guard: Fine, just leave and I won’t send you to the dungeon. *walks away muttering towards the suspected bathroom* There better not be glass everywhere.

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Installment I Update)

Title: Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Installment I - Chapters I, II, III) Rating: M Summary:

“Perhaps you can speak them to me, if you so wish. I apologize if that is too forward, but I yearn to know you beyond simple pleasantries. 

Yours truly,

Lucien

P.S. My lady, your secrets are always safe with me.” 

Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.

Author’s Note: HERE WE GO! This fic was written between me (crazy-ache) and @zenkindoflove. We each selected a character (you’ll have to guess who though) and then wrote back and forth, pen-pal style. The first installment is now posted! We hope you enjoy our passion project.

why wait for the best (when i could have you?)

Read on Ao3 || Listen to the Playlist ☄

Pairing: Rhysand/Gwyneth Berdara Words: 6.3k Rating: Explicit Summary: Gwyn has been in love with Rhysand for a long time, but has resigned herself to never being given the time of day since it's clear that he has feelings for one person and one person only. Except, he surprises her by welcoming her into his bed one night. Call it pity or cosmic interference, but being chosen for second place doesn't seem so bad when it means getting everything you've ever wanted. (In other words, there is no better way to put a person in their place than having loud and enthusiastic sex with their roommate while they're in the next room.)

Thanks to: @cauldronblssd for talking me off the ledge when I accidently almost posted this on ao3 unfinished, @velidewrites for cheering me on and helping w/the moodboard, and @shardminds for encouraging my sudden obsession with this pairing. <3

very short snippet below the cut ☄

does it feel like everything's just like second-best after that meteor strike?

“I’ll give you a ride.” The offer is tossed to her from over his shoulder as he shoves both hands in his pockets.

Gwyn peels herself from the wall and trails after him, rubbing at the indentations made by the brick wall digging into her shoulder.

“You’re leaving already?” she asks. She glances nervously behind them, towards the front of the bar and the music she can barely hear now, beneath the frantic beat of her pulse.

“Yeah,” Rhys says. “Why? Did you need to go back for something?”

“No,” Gwyn says, shaking her head slightly. “Nothing.”

There is a satisfied glint to Rhys’s eyes when he sees her jogging to catch up to him, her heels clipping on the sidewalk. Walking side by side, the bar and the music rapidly fade from the foreground until all she can see is how the stars seem more brilliant when they are reflected in his eyes.

“Where are we going?” Gwyn breathes, forcing herself to look directly ahead as the heat flares in her cheeks again. She wrinkles her nose up against it, as if the ridges she creates across the bridge of her nose might be able to stave off a wildfire.

“You pick,” Rhys says, shrugging. “Mine or yours?”

His knuckles graze against the back of her neck, sweeping all of her hair to one side, and then he leaves his arm draped casually over her shoulder. Her knees nearly buckle beneath her.

“Yours,” she says. 

Rhys beams at her, his teeth glinting white.

“Mine.”

The Lords in Black except I made them DND characters

So I’ve been thinking of posting some of the batshit insane ideas I come up with in the middle of the night here so that people can enjoy them.

I was up late last night scheming ideas for a DND x Hatchetfield AU, specifically one where some shit happens and the Lords in Black end up as the pawns in someone else’s game for once (you ever seen Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle? like that except dnd).

Now, this idea is not only incredibly self indulgent, but barely half-formed too, so there’s a whole lot of holes in it, but… it’s for fun, y’know? Really, I’m just posting this hoping people like my super crazy ideas. Anyways, here goes:

Wiggly - Human Abberant Mind Sorcerer (Neutral Evil) - (Notes: Missing an eye. Has absolutely no clue that the reason why this is, is because he has an ilithid tadpole in his brain and risks undergoing a grotesque and painful transformation into a mindflayer every time he casts a spell. Dresses like a Warlock and acts like a Warlock, despite not being a Warlock.)

Blinky - Owlin Gloom Stalker Ranger (Chaotic Evil) - (Notes: As a Ranger, values animal life more than human life. That doesn’t sound like much at first, but then you remember that this is Blinky we’re talking about and suddenly it’s a lot funnier.)

Tinky - Satyr Armorer Artificer (Chaotic Evil) - (Notes: No notes. This is pretty self-explanatory.)

Nibbly - Lizardfolk Barbarian (Chaotic Evil AGAIN) - (Notes: Lizardfolk because hunger. Haven’t decided on a subclass yet.)

Pokey - ??? Eloquence Bard (Lawful Evil) - (Notes: Haven’t decided on a race yet. Was thinking of Shardmind, but there’s something unfitting about having a famously stoic and uncaring race be the Bard.)

Captain Swan Event

Hello, CS crew!! I come today with an event idea that has been tossed around in the discord server I run. (originally used for a different event >> CSMM) Okay, the new event  (Captain Swan Co-Storytellers Collaboration) would consist of groups of 3-4 people working together to write a captain swan story.  This is not a one person writes one part and passes on the document and so on until it reaches its end. No, this would be the ultimate team effort in an ensemble of amazing writers! Of course there are details to be ironed out but I wanted to know if anyone here was interested to join. I will share the form to get an idea of who is interested and for a way to contact anyone that wants to join in on the fun. As soon as I can I will reach out to you.

ENSEMBLE FORM

Gonna tag some people I know and I'm sorry if I don't tag everyone. If possible reblog. Thank you lovelies!

CSSNS23 IS A GO!!!!!

Alright y’all!!!! Get ready!!!! Sounds like there’s still PLENTY of interest in another year of the Captain Swan Supernatural Summer!!! I have to admit, I’m AMAZED AND SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! 

THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH!!!!!

So here are the deets...

Sign ups will be open from February 20- March 1.

Get To Know Me’s will start dropping in late April or early May.

Posting Dates will be in July, stretching into August if needed.

For those new shipmates not familiar with the Captain Swan Supernatural Summer, this is an event I created back in 2018 to address the woeful lack of Werewolf Killian fics. And we have succeeded many times over!!! The event is open to everyone. The only requirement is the fic or artwork has to be CS focused and supernatural in nature. In past years we’ve had werewolf, vampire, fae, selkie, soulmate, shapeshifter, witch, ghost, and many, many others!! 

All of the past years fics can be found on ao3 here.

Any fic length is fine, from a 100 word Drabble to a 250,000 word epic MC. Any rating is fine. Any type of artwork is fine, from using traditional mediums of paint and drawing, to digital artwork to videos to gifs. Artists can elect to do their own original artwork and/or they can be paired with a fic writer to do artwork for the fic being written. And we certainly hope to have enough artists sign up that we can pair every author with an artist that wants to be paired. So please! SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Signups open a week from tomorrow, and this post will be reblogged daily on this blog as well as this years mods’ blogs in order for the most people to see the announcement!!

Any questions, you can leave an ask here, or get in touch with me or one of our other mods- @kmomof4​ @winterbaby89​ @jrob64​ @ultraluckycatnd​ @stahlop​ - either on Tumblr or discord.

Come join us!!! It’s gonna be another great SUPERNATURAL SUMMER!!!!

Tagging all former participants to help spread the word!!! Under the cut unless Tumblr ate it.

HELLO CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT ALL OF MY CURRENT TTRPG CHARACTERS?? COOL I’M DOING IT. ((this is art from the past yyyyyear that I have not posted, oof))

Ahem so, in order, in the four campaigns I am currently a part of (not counting ones on hiatus), we have:

1. Sagan Nethersall (5e) my cursed Half-Elf Bard, my precious, selfish asshat who was the first DnD character I ever created and who has been reused and recycled in campaigns for over 15 years now. He has descended into Avernus reluctantly alongside the rest of the party, who he is gradually growing to care about. He cannot sing without coughing up blood, and he just found out his lute is actually a unicorn-in-hiding. Sagan is awful. I love him.

2. Zasuba (4e) is a newly-formed Shardmind Psion who resembles a lanky salt lamp. Think of them like an ancient computer that has rebooted and is verrryy slowly downloading all of the information that was once known to them. All they know and understand is framed around “vibes”, from magic to emotions and everything in between, so Vibe Checks occur frequently. To the party’s simultaneous delight and regret, Zasuba remembers everything they teach them. They have a negative in Charisma. Zasuba is adorable. I love them.

3. Harahel (In Nomine) is a Mercurian Servitor of Trade (translation: a guardian angel who is good at talking to humans and whose specialty is m o n e y) who accidentally died in his vessel back in the early 90s and went into Trauma (basically a heavenly coma) for 30 years. Scarred and Discordant from the mishap, he’s now back on Earth helping out fellow angels with a seemingly simple job. Lucky for him the 90s are just wrapping around to being trendy again. Harahel is doing his best. I love him.

4. Sunshine (5e) is...oh boy. Sunshine is a race called a Graveborn that has been tweaked by the DM and myself to suit her homebrewed setting, and he is a Death Cleric who was raised in a city ruled by necromancers. People aren’t born there. He was. And when he was three years old his supposed mother, who died in childbirth, returned to his side as an obedient skeleton. In present day, Sunshine is a good-natured 15-year-old who has devoted himself to both the god of death (Ghen) and the necromancer who apprenticed him (Tarsus), who loves wearing pink, whose mother (Mama aka Skelemum) sticks protectively close to his side, and who has a rather unsavory but necessary habit of consuming raw flesh. Sunshine is an uncanny delight. I love him (and will be posting quite a bit more of him).

((ttrpg has been the only other Significant Thing other than Sahuldeem that has served as a creative outlet since 2020, so I’m well past due posting about my babies x’D))
