Dalish Legends: “Dirthamen taught the people love and trust for their families.”

Dirthamen: Used to be so antisocial and shy as a child, that he completely relied on his twin brother to do all the talking and interacting.

Dirthamen: Passive-aggressively invented the Varterral to deal with the terror, Mythal’s dragons spread among the people.

Dirthamen: Repeatedly avoids family gatherings, because he gets annoyed by everyone’s petty fights.

Dirthamen: Refuses to join either Mythal’s fight against Falon’Din, or take Falon’Din’s side in the battle, because he can’t deal well with open conflict.

Dirthamen: Secretly supports Fen’Harel’s rebellion-efforts, without even him knowing, because he agrees that his family is unsuited for being good rulers, but doesn’t want to be the one, who said that out loud.

Dirthamen: Develops a compulsive adoption habit, after getting imprisoned, because his own family was a shitfest.

—————-

Dirthamen: Reclines in a pile of pillows, sipping from his fifth glass of red wine. “It’s important to love your family, kids.”

"If at least you would bring me a bear, instead!"

It appears the god of secrets has given in to his fate of being buried in mewling balls of fur. Doesn't stop him from complaining, though.

"Who are you people and how did you even find my temple!?" Confiscating booping kittens left and right, Dirthamen's ravens still can't prevent yet another boop from lading on their master's nose.

@potterpan

"Will-! You-! Stop-! That's it! I am taking this cat now! Since you clearly do not know how to handle it with care!"

With his nose looking positively abused, Dirthamen is cradling the confused ball of fur to his chest. One must wonder, whom he truly is trying to protect this way.

@miss--river

"Where do you children even find all these cats!?" As disgruntlement turns into bewilderment, the god of wisdom got booped again.

@fawndollie

"Yes? What do you need of m- no!"

It's a good thing, this god is not allergic to cats, just to pranks.

#;aprils fools shenanigans

[dirthara-an]

"Good grief, put the poor cat down! I don't-!" And he got booped again, quite possibly looking even more disgruntled than the poor kitten, who's paws have been misused for this petty prank.

@eritvita

#;aprils fools shenanigans #yes! Boop him into submission!

-Sees an unfamiliar device appear- "Huh? What is this now?" -presses a button- -instantly gets booped in the face by cat paws- "Dear me! Cease this nonsense at once!"

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

I'm working on a huge comic project over on my patreon right now. The new comic will probably start releasing early summer 2024 on tumblr and about 2 months later on my public platforms (including @meiilansnotebook ). The story will be based in the world lore of youlongtongzhi and feature many of the already established characters, as well as characters of friends, who helped me develop the original world lore, in completely revamped designs.

In the video, you can see a few first concept sketches for some of the important characters, that are already posted on my patreon. While I'm still working on my ongoing fan-comic, I will keep posting WIPs, concept sketches and BTS information on patreon. I might even sprinkle in some exclusive mini-comics about some of the characters' backstories.

If you want to follow along on the creative journey towards the final comic release, you subscribe to my patreon here (18+ only).

Please note that I am pausing billing on patreon between December 1st and December 31st, 2023. In that time, it's not possible to sign up as a new patron. So, if you want to enjoy the full December for free, you have to sign up before November 30th, 2023.

I would appreciate it if you could share this post with your friends, or on your blogs. It's my first big comic project, entirely made with my own lore and characters. So, I really hope, it can find the people, who would enjoy accompanying me along the journey. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

⚠ ATTENTION!!

Lately there has been an increase of a new anon thing. Someone sends blogs something random, apparently mostly nsfw or the like, tagging someone else's blog in those asks. THE TAGGED BLOG IS NOT THE ONE SENDING THESE ASKS! This someone is just using their URL for whatever reason.

So instead of blocking or even harassing the URL named in the ask, block and report the anon!

Every day, I open up the internet and I learn of yet another fas/cist eu/genics (censored, because I don't want these buzzwords to attract the wrong kinda people) pseudo-science that has been reinvented by social media as a new quirky trend, or worse even touted as some "ancient Chinese mystery recovered".

Listen kids, I too read tarot and am vastly fascinated with astrology. So, take it from someone, who does see value of interest in some pseudoscientific endeavors: If you see a tiktok filter, that claims it can make guesses on your personality based on your facial features or gods forbid some person on social media trying to tell you, that they can "read your face" like some Bravo magazine personality test... close the app! Run the other way and do it fast!

That's physiognomy. It's not "face reading". It's not a quirky new personality test trend. It's most definitely not some rediscovered ancient mystery. It's straight-up physiognomy, a pseudoscience reinvented since Ancient Greece, over and over again and made popular in the modern times first in the 1700 in Europe and later on used as a justification for slavery and mass genocide during the Era of colonization and later even the Third Re/ich.

Regardless, whether the source is a friend, a friend's friend or someone, who otherwise usually seems to say quite a lot of reasonable things: Whenever you read or hear how certain personality traits, mental illnesses, states of mental development (including mental age) are attributed to physical traits of a person (e.g. small people being child-coded) call it for the bullshit it is and educate these people on the harmful still far-reaching influence of eug/enics in the modern world.

There is no, literally none at all, connection between physiology and personality/education/mental development, that is scientifically proven. Period.

"You know... the fancy, curled tails on actias dubernardi serve no aerodynamic purpose. If anything, they even hinder the moth in its flight. Some theories suggest, however, that they do still serve a survival purpose. They are useful to deflect the echo-location of bats, their natural predators. So, these mesmerizing beautiful accessories essentially serve to distract those, who want them harm."

The old god carefully adjusted the cuffs of his sleeves.

"It is well and good to keep a low profile, d'alen. But in some instances, being flashy is more effective to avoid being truly seen."

Ask-Call: Dirthamen's visions

I really wanna roleplay this muse again, but I don't have the time and focus for long threads at the moment. So, I came up with this idea instead:

Your muse gets sent a vision by the God of Wisdom, Secrets and Scholarly Pursuits Dirthamen, the dying star, the twin soul of Death himself.

Maybe, they had a little too much to drink that night, or maybe exhaustion of their trying day past finally caught up to them. Either way, your muse falls into a slumber so deep, not even loud noises around them, could wake them.

As soon, as they fall asleep, their consciousness gets caught in a dream, like a dry leaf getting picked up by a gust of wind, tumbling this way and that, until eventually they come upon a fork in a road. The path towards the left leads into foggy unknown and the path towards the right leads into vague mysteriousness and the path behind is long forgotten.

In the middle of that fork stands a tree, tall, thick and gnarly. It might have been a blossoming cherry-tree once, but no leaves, nor blossoms adorned the dark branches now. Branches, amongst which two ravens sit: One black with angry red eyes and one white with alert blue eyes. At the foot of the tree sits a man; an elf dressed in shimmering silks of midnight blue and dusk purple. He seems tall and willowy, his face handsome in an ageless way. Yet his eyes seem to look at you from a life that can only be measured in centuries.

"It's been so long, since last someone came to me in this way. I thought, the rites had long since been forgotten.... Very well then. Since, you find me in a curious mood, you may ask me. You have one question, da'len. So better make it worthwhile."

Send me an ask with 🪶and the one question, you muse would ask the god of wisdom and secrets, if they were sent such a vision.

Was it testament to the unconditional trust, the old god put in his most doted on disciple these days, or rather the level of fatigue, he was truly suffering under right now, that had him willingly move along with Roland's gentle urging, only ever mumbling half-hearted protests of 'I'm fine' and 'truly, it's not that bad', before he already found himself seated in a comfortable chair, dazedly wondering how he got here in the first place. The chair was rather comfortable, and Dirthamen could feel the heaviness of his eyelids grow. Which was no good! His limbs did not fully cooperate, as he attempted to rise from the chair again. So instead he attempted to reason with Roland yet again, a vague hint of exasperated desperation curling at the edges of his whispered voice.

"It really is fine. I'm telling you. Sleep is a comfort, I can go without for a couple of days. It's been done before. It's not necess- necee- I don't need to sleep right now. I'm sure of it."

His usually blank face, that always sported a mask of mild bemusement, was indeed marred with hooded eyes and dark rings beneath, and now a frown of frustration added to the grimace of fatigue, as he stumbled over words that suddenly seemed too big for his useless tongue. He knew, he was being unreasonable. Scientist at heart, of course, he could observe the very obvious signs of his body bending under the strain of the days behind. But his refusal to enter the realm of dreams was not born from reason. The comfortable presence has helped cure Dirthamen's loneliness in the waking world, more than he'd ever be willing to admit. But all the more, did he fear the cold solitude of the fade, should his mind return to places, he had been so desperate to flee from, not too long ago.

"Look, I'm okay! I've pulled all nighters before." ((Immovable force aka "chronical fatigue" meet unstoppable object aka Dirthamen's trauma-induced insomnia 8D))

@dirthara-an

"My God, thou art weary," refutes he, as he meanders to clasp his Lord's elbow; as he huddles beside Him to mend and to tend to His willowy, gracious Form. He gestures. "Thou art dark-lined and riddled in pale skin and shallow blood; thou art slurring. Thou art slow-voiced. Thou art in dire need to sleep, if not to bed thyself down to rest and to sit idle." As idle as couldst the impossible God of Never-Ending Knowledge couldst possibly rectify.

lack of sleep starters !
