Somewhere on the upper West Side: “...Out of pastrami again.”

(First-light test of a New York bodega set I’ve been eyeing for a while.)

...Delighted to see that this image was chosen to appear in Tumblr’s Radar on Oct. 2, 2022!

(ETA — for those wondering what this is about: These are two pastrami-loving characters, Arhu [the alley cat] and Ith [the saurian], both wizards, who hail from the Young Wizards universe. They appear primarily in the novels of the Feline Wizardry sequence.)

Since moving to New York, I have really seen places and things that I previously envisioned completely incorrectly in books set there. I must have seen this somewhere before, though--or else saw it at the Met sometime before since moving here and then forgot it again until today--because it is almost exactly what I imagined from the scene in The Book of Night with Moon where the cats are in the Met teaching Arhu the People's mythos using ehiff Egyptian mythology as visual aids. This is the one with Urrua "slicing up the Snake like an ehiff would cut up a salami." @dduane ...Right? It has to be.

(I also got the East River almost completely right in my mental image of the scene at the very end, except that it was far too close to Grand Central.)

🫛 hellur

HELLO all of your muses are so pretty GOD how can I choose

Fuck it I'll do all of them lmao the ones that I found info on, anyway

Daithi -

I could see Daithi interacting pretty well with either Xadai or Qara! I personally love pairing them up with 'softer' muses because they're just so different and I just adore that. Though with Xadai at the very least, he'd be able to get through to him better than Qara. He hasn't completely given up on his humanity, unlike the latter lol

Ultan -

I would love to throw either Cielzro or Argenia at him. So hear me out: Ciel is a machinist and is prone to making loud noises. Ultan would probably h a t e him, buuuut I think it would be funny lmao And Argenia is sort of the opposite, very deadpan and aloof personality with her, and metaphors fly right over her head. But she is Soft:tm: and very calming to be around so that might be fun!

Cathan -

Cathan gives me the vibe that says he'd get along with Ryce a LOT. They would get into so much trouble together and be the bane of everyone's existence lmao Additionally I would also consider throwing Arhu'wo at him. Arhu is CONSTANTLY stressed out and Cathan would probably give him a heart attack, which, again, hilarious lol

Faolan -

Okay hear me out on this one: I feel like Faolan and Tsushi would get along. Faolan being the careless and easily distracted type, and Tsushi is Group Mom energy. She would constantly be concerned about them on a 24/7 basis lol Also I could see Faolan getting along with Ryce for similar reasons as stated above. Ryce is just a force of chaos and he loves having fun. I could see them both working together to play pranks on the stuffy merchants that pass through Ul'dah lmao

#dawnsung #i am squeezing our muses together in a most normal and sane manner I sweaR

[dduane]

i'm currently sick with covid and the feline wizards are keeping me company. thank you for writing them!

out of curiosity only, no worries if you don't feel like answering: do you, by any chance, have a visual reference for how big Arhu is meant to be? he was described as the equivalent of a nine year old human child but i don't know what that means to a cat. i'm imagining a little tiny baby kitten, but that can't be right...

Not all that tiny.

Balancing between two metaphors for aging is always a bit of, well, a tightrope walk. "Nine years old" is about as early as a human gets offered wizardry (Dairine being typical of an early start), so I was probably feeling around for similarities in that paradigm.

But in terms of physical development, Arhu is probably about seven months old at the beginning of The Book of Night with Moon. He's got about 60-70% of his adult size, and his eyes have finished their color change from the typical "kitten blue". This is the beginning of a cat’s adolescence, when they start getting a bit more rambunctious and challenging toward those around them.

The image of the 7-month-old cat at Wikimedia Commons gives a good sense of what Arhu’s size and general look would be. (Though naturally his coat is different.)

...HTH! (And glad you’re enjoying the books.)

[yes-prisoner]

New Year and I am still so not done with the game. Meet my newest Tavs:

1 - Eldoran/Temperance - Asmodeus Tiefling - Monk - Way of the Open Hand

I didn't resist another tiefling, specially to romance Wyll this time. They are my favorite race after all, plus my baby boy is good trying not show much emotion on his beautiful little face. But the tail kinda betrays him lol (Specially about Wyll. Like the tail brushing softly against his inner wrist when he wants to comfort Wyll, but don't know how. Or, after the romance starts, just around Wyll's waist)

He usually introduces himself as Eldoran to strangers. His virtue name is something he finds really intimate, so he only shares with the ones close to his heart.

2 - Dalian - Half Wood-Elf - Cleric of Lathander - Domain of Life

After Rhiell, she is the OC I mostly use in fantasy settings. It will be really nice to play with her again and see her trying not get even more annoyed with the gods.

Dalian probably will romance Shadowheart and maybe Halsin too, depending how things go. Nothing brings two girls together like religious trauma lol

3 - Arhu - White Dragonborn - Ranger - Beast Master

I really wanted a scaly baby. I am still thinking how they will be in the game, but I am excited! They will be romancing Lae'zel, I almost did them a red dragonborn but I really like how the white and red mix here. They probably will be one of my curious Tavs, what is half of the reason why they end up in trouble.

4 - Lualyrr T'sarran - Drow - Lolth-Sworn - Rogue - Assassin

Now this one will be... fun. A character more neutral than I usually play (I just feel horrible playing bad characters because I want to protect my favorite npcs), she will be the one who does good things only because it benefits her, the other option just sucks or for a distorced sense of affection/protection to the ones she is fond of. Because no one touches what is hers.

She will be romancing Minthara because I really want all the drow special dialogues, plus noble houses drama on my headcanons.

#bg3 #my ocs #i have no idea how i will complete all these playthrougs with other games to play lol #still need to think about what tav i want to make for karlach #then i will have officially one characters for each romance #i was thinking about making dalian a full wood elf but none of the faces was close to how i imagine her #so eh

[muzdiir]

i realized last night as i was falling asleep that i've had my oldest oc for 20 yrs this year

#arhu #this fact might be the thing that finally gets me to cry lmao #he's like my alter ego/fursona/whatever & i've been super disconnected from him for years & everytime i remember this i get sad

Elane Masterpost (for my and your reference)

Full name: Elane Ravenloft

Race: Elf

Tags: NOBLE, BARBARIAN

Class: Inquisitor (Warfare x Necromancy)

Talents: Corpse Eater, Leech, Executioner

Origin instrument: Cello [TH link] Who is Elane Ravenloft?

The earliest memory Elane has is one of constant danger and pursuit. She and her mother tried to escape the Elven Forests years before the Deathfog struck while being chased by their kin like valuable prey. Elane's mother died to the arrows of the hunters, and since then, Elane had to fend for herself on her own.

She was like a wild animal, living and hunting - usually other elves with the wicked pleasure of revenge - until, accidentally, she ventured far beyond the reach of the elven lands.

Life outside varied little, the child, a mute animal focused on survival spent her days stalking the woods in search of something to eat or a pit to sleep in. One day, however, she spotted strange, short, and bowless creatures moving through her territory. Curiosity piqued, she keenly observed the group of bandits setting up a trap on the nearby road. Soon a noble carriage rolled over the beaten, dry earth, and expectedly got besieged by the highwaymen. Elane heard screams, lurking on the tall trees above, and pushed by some unknown feeling, decided to intervene. She dropped down on the first bandit, breaking his neck, and the others she slaughtered. An elven child massacred five adult men.

The saved nobles were terrified, but not ungrateful.

Elane, who had no name at the time, with effort repeated the only word her mother ever said to her. 'City' she struggled to repeat, 'We must get to a city'. The couple of older humans exchanged confused looks and allowed the strange forest orphan to travel with them to their home.

As it happened Teodryk and Marais Ravenloft were unable to have children of their own and they took the girl's sudden but crucial appearance in their life as a sign from the gods and decided to adopt her. It was them who gave her the name she uses to this day - Elane. Alongside the respectable surname. Elane's father owned a mine and the entirety of the town of Agrid Hall, a dwarven-human community that he helped to build in Lower Stormdale. He was a proletarian entrepreneur, who happened to fall in love with the daughter of a rich Arxian aristocrat, and dream of a better world. Her mother, a warm woman with a love for gardening, could not bear children, and she was the one to actually propose to take the girl in as their own. Since then, Elane lived in the Ravenloft manor, learning how to speak and how to function in the civilized world. She was curious and learned surprisingly fast. She had many teachers, from fencing to calligraphy, but the most notable of them was Arhu the Wizard. Just how her father got such a prominent persona to tutor his adopted daughter remains unknown.

Elane grew past the title of adopted rather quickly, and in her parents' eyes, she was nothing but their firstborn child. They paid little attention to her elven quirks, be it her amazingly long hair, strangely glowing eyes, or her inability to scar. The servants of the house took a while to grow used to the tall, lanky woman, but she eventually won their hearts over, albeit the beginnings were rough. Elane's most beloved servant, however, had to be the gardener tending to the manor's greenery. An older human going by the name of Adrick, whose eyes were usually hidden in the shadow of his straw hat. It was he who showed her how to plant roses that not only were thornless, but they bloomed in unusual blue. When he retired and returned to his homeland, she took the gardener station in his place.

In the meantime, she made best friends with a worker's young son, Phillip, who appeared in the mansion not too long after her.

When she wasn't busy in her garden, her father eagerly passed down his knowledge of history and eloquence, and economics to her, hoping to see Elane step up as his successor.

Her birthday is on the 12th of Fengali - the date when her feet crossed the threshold of her forever home for the first time. Her parents gave her a set of artisan hair adornments after the 10th year she spent with them. She finds those items dearer than her own life.

Years passed, and the inevitable came. The death of her parents left a daunting mark on her psyche. Elane inherited her father's estate and proved to be a more than capable businesswoman.

One of Elane's (wrongfully recognized as) elven quirks

Her eyes lit up with silver after nightfall - the shape of the light mimic the current moon phase

Elane's attire of choice. All of her clothes had to be custom tailored to fit, but she prefers to wear ill-fitting human clothing over any traditional Elven garments.

Personality

Elane's is a walking contrast. On one hand, she is a curious individual, who likes to know what is going on in the world. Despite her attachment to her hometown, she keenly follows the things that happen in the present and the past. She is still occasionally visited by her old tutor, Arhu, and she never spares him the questions putting his wizardly knowledge to the test. But she also likes routine, and habits. She finds comfort in having a rhythm, of sleeping in the same place every night - a cruel echo of her urchin past sends her into a feeling of mental instability.

This is also tied to the other side of the woman. Elane killed in her life, a lot. When her adopted, cultured mask falls, one faces a bloodlust animal underneath. Elane had to survive by any means necessary, and when pushed, she is just that. A cornered beast. The worst thing about it all is that usurping violence over others brings her a great deal of joy she constantly denies.

She hates all things elven, another result of her troubled past. All elves speaking in the traditional manner as stupid and inferior, and given she had to deal with those kind whole lot as a town official after the Deathfog struck, she is more than likely to assume the worst about her pointy-eared kin. But she does look fondly at the ones who actually try to assimilate, and drop all their barbaric predispositions.

Observations of Elane's swordsmanship found in the notebook of the Eternal scholar Fane

During my travels, I have come to observe many of so-called Rivellon’s best fighters. Despite the prideful titles and spry footwork, no one managed to overcome our elven companion in battle. Her skills are so far unmatched and also so very different from what the previous subjects had presented. The specific fluidity has piqued my attention and caused me to closely observe her movements when she fights. I deem the observations I have made on the subject curious and worth noting. 

She begins the fight with a collected stance, tall and focused as if waiting for a partner to start a dance. While I am no expert on dueling, I suspect that there is more than meets the eye in the art of hitting adversaries with a pointy rod, and I will try to give my best impression. Reviews might be needed. Reassuming, her first movements remind me of those of the Guards I have seen back in the Eternal City; adopting both grace and disdain towards the opponent. However, this illusion breaks as soon as the first step toward the enemy is taken. All grace becomes forfeit. Her paces become quick as she leaps through the battlefield, turning into more of a beast than an esteemed warrior. The swings of her blade are calculated yet savage, oriented at doing as much damage as possible to as many foes as possible. I believe some mortals call this state ‘berserk’ or ‘battle fury’. In all honesty, it indeed appears as if she turns into an unstoppable force, using her height, nimbleness, and the sheer weight of her weapon to her advantage. Her battles possess the finesse of a cornered animal fighting tooth and nail for its very survival.

As macabre as it may sound, there is a certain beauty in the sheer force inflicted ferociously upon the fools’ heads. It truly makes me wonder; What circumstances granted her such a feral mastery with the blade?

Trivia:

Elane's astral sign is the Ice Basilisk

Her blood type is all

The first time she used her 'corpse eater' trait was when a murder happened in Agrid Hall, and the culprit escaped seemingly without a trace. The victim's family actually asked Elane to try and pluck a useful memory from the mangled corpse.

She can play the piano. She was taught by her mother.

I think you guys would love arhu from divinity original sin. I love him too, he's just delightful. he's a catboy, in maybe the best way you can imagine.
