#where my dwarves are

[maegalkarven]

Probably unpopular opinion, but The Ranger Achieves series is better than The Echoes saga.

Idc about all these elves and mages and young greycoats falling in love with elves, and the plot, and evil elf rising, and the other evil elf serving the Main Evil elf scheming in the Nightfall-

I just care about Asher and whatever fuckery is going on with him at the moment.

#the ranger achieves #the echoes saga #philip c.quantrell #i might be biased bc i read the ranger archives first #also it's written later and it shows #the writing is much better #while the rise of the ranger is one of the earliest books #but also idc about them elves #where my dwarves are #THEM are my fellas #these fuckers are just. eh. idc about your war idc about your folly idc about your evil plans #i hope melliath eats you all #melliath is cool tho. evil dragon. love that #Nathaniel is fun but not very fun #typical good guy with tragic romance with the princess of elves #idc about that where's doran at? he's the only royalty i care about #vorska were more fun than these fucking elves #mer-men are more than than these elves and they eat children #where's my boy russell??? ik i know where he is #not having to deal with all of that #good for him

Wait, did you put a photo of Vil and Neige as kids in Eric’s office??

oh good, I was afraid that wasn't going to read properly and people would just be like "what is this supposed to be". :') but yeah! I like to think Eric was pretty fond of Neige as a kid! single dad sees orphan child approximately the same age as his own son and goes "hmm. okay, you guys are going to be friends now." (this did not go as well as he'd hoped.)

(also I do love how it's kind of a running joke that everyone loves Neige except for Vil, who's standing over in the corner and just seething with furious irrational hatred. someday maybe he'll find someone who doesn't think Neige is the best thing since cinnamon rolls.)

#art #twisted wonderland #vil: am i massively projecting my own hangups and insecurities onto someone who i would otherwise find only mildly annoying #vil: no it must be neige who is wrong #idk i just like neige a lot! he's sweet and i find him fascinating honestly #there's ONE offhanded comment about how oh yeah he's been orphaned since a young age and just never talks about it #he lives with a bunch of dwarves and cooks and cleans for them and this has been going on since he was like eight #like. hello?! #there's a whole backstory here that we're never going to get more than this single crumb of and frankly that makes it better #man if i had a nickel for every fandom about fairytale characters in high school #where i instantly fell in love with the snow white character #i'd have two nickels et cetera you know the rest

ANOTHER HAFU ORIGINAL

#someone at the con kept leaving these dwarves on people's tables in sneaky positions where you couldn't see them at first #and when we found who the guilty party was me and my bro were like lmao give us more we love them #and the guy just pulled a bunch of them out of his pockets lmao #jamble ramble #bionicle #hafu

rumbelle + the raven king (a french fairytale) au moodboard

#the text is strange but it’s the only english version i could find🤔 #it's basically eros and psyche #but with a green and one-eyed father #(no idea why he is green and has only one eye but i like the part where the raven king pecks his eye out) #(big fan of rumple's violence against moe lol) #and with singing grass #(no questions here) #rumple might not even be a raven #just cursed #but it would be nice if belle had to find him among lookalike birds #(it's not in the story I just really like this trope) #also we can have ruby the wolf #EQ who has rumple's dagger #and some dwarves why not #and a happy ending of course #something like that #rumbelle #rumbelle moodboard #not only mice but also moodboards #rumbelle+fairytales moodboards #my rumbelle things #my things

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Hearts of Stone DLC

"Many illnesses are treatable, but play with evil... and medicine can be much harder to find."

#i think this is my first full 8-panel set... idk how i feel abt it. #i KNOW the colour for this dlc is blue but... idk theres so many green scenes and orange scenes #o well! #the witcher 3 #thewitcheredit #witcheredit #tw3edit #thewitcher3edit #i couldnt get nearly enough of all the scenes / shots i liked and this feels kinda nonsensical. but i don't know this was my first attempt! #im doing my bestest!!!! #geralt of rivia #hearts of stone #gaunter o'dimm #olgierd von everec #witcher3edit #*mine #you can really tell with these gifsets where i am in the progression of the game can't you #yes i did this ENTIRE dlc exclusively so i could get my sweaty hands on the viper set. and what about it #also lmao @ the donkey ears. i was hoping i wouldnt have to play gwent since i dont care about hearthstone clones #just immediately closed out of the challenged game w/ the dwarves because i did not care at all. which counted as a loss #frankly i think it's funnier if he did canonically lose that game. it was the possession i think #and the ears are funny. To Me.

forever love murph for making jaina immediately stand out from others via her appearance <3 i adore the idea of gay subcultures in fantasy have their own rules yippeeee

#peach patter #jaina being a clean shaven dwarf (in a world where female dwarves also have beards and are greatly lusted after) to set her apart #is sooo much fun . esp since i just know in my heart of hearts she is so hairy every where else . i mean it <3 #i dont think any of this makes sense to someone who hasnt listened to naddpod but #murph pointing out that jaina is *by choice* beardless and 'undesirable' by dwarven standards is sooooo butch lesbo coding #i say all this not knowing if murph actually intended jaina to be a butch but she did get fucked silly by moonshine so . a win is a win

A peek into my ,,, interesting sketchbook feat. Bertram and Lewis the Jack o lantern studies + OC fairytale huntsman whom I love

#my art #fanart #strawberridraws #oc #OCs art #my ocs #jesse #Bertram jesse #bertram #sketches #I’m. very excited about the oc ngl #he’s like. constantly running into stupid children in the Enchanted Forest and he’s like #is anybody gonna adopt these literal children #and so he takes them home to where he grew up with the 7 dwarves #starting with Snow White #she’s just like ‘:D I’m twelve and mom said that I need to go with you because she hates me’ #and the huntsman; newly ordered to murder this child for an absurd amount of gold that could feed his outcasted family that rescued him #as a feral orphan for weeks is just like ah shit I gotta adopt this child man #then he comes across Goldilocks and red riding hood Hansel and Gretel etc #until he’s just. swarmed with children #it’s kinda funny #haven’t decided who he romances or if he’s a single king yet #was thinking like. a gremlin ass rumplestilskin just cause it’d be funny #..anyways can y’all tell I watched once upon a time when I was like 13

[operationslipperypuppet]

king coldaine and hardwon passing the kingshammer back and forth during the tarrasque fight is something that can be so personal

#naddpod #not another dnd podcast #hardwon surefoot #bahumia #if we get a moment in c3 where they talk about hardwon’s influence on the dwarves i’ll lose my mind in case you were wondering

[mochizuke-creates]

Ok so for our homebrew dnd game- my character mayyyy or may not have made a deal with a 9 tailed fox deity and it mayyyy or may not permanently change his appearance sooooo had to draw the back up reference jusssst in case.

#i swear to god you never know where a ttrpg is gonna go #well uh #so much for being the token human- #he’s a cutie tho! #love my lil wiz #caswynn brixwood #aka #dimitri ravenholdt #wizard #school of illusions #dnd #dungeons and dragons #player character #pc #mochi draws #kitsune time??? #our game is made up of a lot of homebrew races instead of the og dnd ones #though we do still have elves and dwarves! #and straight up have a gnoll in our party named Gnarr #love Gnarr sm

bilbo taught him the proper set greeting :')

#where's my post abt frodo being an honorary dwarf friend by virtue of being bilbo's closest family & you see how open the dwarves are w him #thoughts #tolkien #lotr newsletter

[quietplaceinthestars]

I wish people who write lotr fanfic didn’t inevitably end up writing low key constant emotional abuse to their blorbo.

#kicking a hornets nest here #but I’ll start reading something lighthearted and wonder I start feeling more and more uncomfortable the further in I get #the Peter jacksonification and what I suspect are culturally W.A.S.P ppl writing fic #without having read the books or. rely on period dramas for world building #idk it just ends up creating what feels like something deeply insidious masqarading as some teen fixit fic where everybody lives #and then I feel insane and overly sensitive for wanting half the shire Gandalf thranduil and 2/3ds the dwarves & bilbo to kill them selves #bc I cannot fathom how a any fuckjng says that b why would let someone say or do something like that to you #and then I realize it’s. it’s the same reylo #it’s the same 50 shades of grey mentality type stuff #I hate to assume anything about anyone’s identity over one fic. but be fr. either you genuinely believe this is normal or you’re writing #you’re writing it for plot reasons. and like. that’s how you advance the plot? I’d rather read dead dove at this point. #fuck it everyone dies. #talking tag #this is obv. a massive generalization. gods know I beat the hell out of my blorbos #but I am tired. the horse is dead and you’ve beaten it so much it’s glue and fish is toothpaste.

[Image Description: Marian Churchland's Dragon Age OC template filled out with Quin Brosca, a dwarf commoner warden. Quin is shown from the armpits up, leaning in towards the viewer, arms partially forward, while she looks to her right and smiles with her brow partially furrowed. She is wearing faded-looking leather armor with metallic shoulder guards. Her red hair is partially braided back and grows slightly darker in her bushy eyebrows, thin beard, and mustache. She has a casteless brand on her right cheek, in addition to geometric tattoos on her left cheek and above her left eyebrow. Her open smile shows a missing tooth. She has two small scars on her chin to the left of her mouth. In the background, four daggers fan out pointed toward her, and the words "Can I get you a ladder?" appear next to her. Below the drawing, several traits are listed with a line between them to mark where the character falls between the two. Between cautious and reckless, Quin is very reckless; between selfless and self-serving, she is more selfless; between emotion-driven and logic-driven, she is extremely emotion-driven; between forthright and dissembling, she is more dissembling; between friendly and unfriendly, she is slightly more friendly than not; between devout and questioning she is devout; and between trusting and suspicious she is suspicious. Below the traits is a list of her main party: Alistair, Dog, Wynne, and Leliana. Below that, there are a series of symbols that indicate which choices she made throughout the game. The first three indicate she is a dual-wielding rogue, a dwarf commoner, and romanced Alistair. The next row of five indicates she saved the circle, brokered peace between the werewolves and Dalish, destroyed the anvil and elected Bhelen, made Anora the sole leader of Ferelden and executed Loghain, and had Alistair do the dark ritual with Morrigan, thus ensuring they both lived. End of Image Description]

I'm replaying the Dragon Age series (to the dismay of my professors, I assume) which means redoing the art I made back in 2019. First up is my girl Quin, light of my life, bi butch icon who fr deserves the world. Nobody helped her family when they needed it most so she's made it her goal to help as many people as possible. Through extreme violence. I'll post my Hawke and Inquisitor next (I've actually already done my Inquisitor but I wanna post them in game release order), so be on the lookout for that :>

Here's a bonus flat version~

[Image Description: The same drawing as in the first image, though this time without the background or shading, making the colors easier to pick out. End Description.]

I'll put some relevant stuff in the replies, hopefully, that doesn't get the post nuked. I swear I've been here 10 years nearly and I've got no idea how this works.
