[Witch Hat Atelier | OC] Forever lost together, Forever howling at the moon
this particular oc was made a year ago then left in the dust until like 2 weeks earlier where i got @autumn-sweet-fae into WHA and now we both have a massive brainrot over the multiple ocs we made, it started as two, then spiraled into a whole extended family.
out of context doodles of these ocs in no particular order below cut 👍
ok maybe a little bit of context:
Veera (short haired one, belongs to me) is a witch with a double identity, working as a knight during the day and a brim during the night. Shes is quite well liked by most people with her laid back personality, but no one is particularly close to her, many describe her as always smiling yet unreadable.
Edith (one with the bun, belongs to @autumn-sweet-fae) on the other hand, was an unknowing who held a disdain against magic. Growing up in a noble house, she studied art, medicine and tinkered and designed many contraptions that are way ahead of her time so that she wouldn’t need to rely on magic. However, she was exiled from her family and now lives near a small village, where she adopted 3 orphans. Her contraptions did lead to rumors of a witch without a record in the assembly. One day, she opens her front door to a witch knight, who happened to be Veera :)

really genuinely worried at how many chronically ill / whatever people are like "house md is evil but he'd actually diagnose me. btw i've never watched house"
i promise you that he wouldn't. he doesn't take cases unless they're interesting; most of us are not "interesting" - he significantly prefers patients on the verge of death . if he did take your case he would be quite willing to run experimental treatments on you that violate your directives and those of your medical proxies for his own amusement (in the episode i watched most recently, he uses a racial slur to distract a teen patient's parents long enough to get the teen into a procedure they didn't consent to). if you die, he won't care. if your treatment disables you, he won't care or feel guilty (in another episode i watched recently, they fried a patient's entire long-term memory on purpose and then discovered that they had initially misdiagnosed him and that this was not a necessary treatment).
like we're all out here joking. some of the best episodes of house are ones where he's faced with patients who are willing to bite back, where house's nastiness becomes one of his less effective tools and the opportunity for patients to exert agency. but this is very RARE. while house is a brilliant diagnostician, IF he is interested. he is not, actually, a good doctor!

Not sure if you know much about the side characters since I don't, but thought I'd try anyway so I'm clueless:
Who would you ship out of the following:
Any suggestions are helpful. Writing a reincarnation merlin fic is harder than I thought it would be, lol. Also love your blog.
Okay so I actually didn’t rememberd much about Vivian not under the spell so i went to watch this episode (as you can see from post i rebloged before answering xD). And i’m responding from my laptop now bc i’m still scrolling through ‘merlin 2x10′ tag at my phone.
So:
First and most important: leave my boy Lancelot be. #gayrights Only straight ship i see him in is Gwencelot (which i love with my whole heart).
LADY VIVIAN AND LEON. LADY VIVIAN AND LEON! Oh yeah this one. Definitely this one. With how she is annoying at the beginning of the episode he could be annoyed not only with knights at the daily basic but with her too. Absolutely amazing. I know he deserves a break from what he already has at his plate but we don’t have this in this fandom, oh we so don’t have it. And I’m so suprised by this ship and by how well they fit in my head.
But. We hear more than once in this episode that she is too young. For love and for knowing antyhing about it. So yeah, few years older Vivian, more mature, not so rude but still annoying. Perfect paring with Leon. You know hate-love relationship.
With Morgana this will work too. But this one from before she got evil not after.
Morgana and Leon? No, noooo, absolutely no.
Morgana and Lancelot? Which Morgana? Good one? Evil one? That’s hot. Not like Evil Gwen x Evil Lancelot hot, but hot too. They didin’t actually have any relation before 4x09 so i think exploring that with any of the combination could be interesting. (It’s still #gayrights for my boy at the top of the podium, with Gwencelot (any combination) at second, but yeah he and Morgana - they can have and definitley are 3rd place).
Vivian and Sophia. Well Sophia was charming and putting away her manipulating her father i really liked the girl. This could work good too. Ya know by now #gayrights :D
Vivian and Morgause? More like Morgause and Cenred. Thank you, goodnight.
*
Damn you’re really doing job with this fic! All that research, all that posts and asks. It’s really impressive right now for my lazy ass with writer’s block. I’m really curious what finally you will make from all of this. I have feeling that i will definitely come across this fic here on tumblr but if you could remember about me (send me a link or tag me under some post) when you publish i would be very thankful and happy to read that! And of course a lot of time, inspirations and ideas and good luck with all that!

I am intrigued about soul magic please expand maybe :)???
hm yes hi Trade I can very much expand on that!!!
caveat that a lot of this info is very possibly stuff I made up literally this month bc I only had the vaguest idea of how soul magic worked before starting on this particular story (ie the box for it in the twinery thing where I keep all my worldbuilding legit just has the world it comes from in it and nothing else lmao ^^; )
The vague in-text explanation we get is thus;
“Users power their spells with their lifeforce,” Jasper said. “Its main applications are healing and interrogation, but it can also be used to create locks and the like that are fine-tuned to a specific person.”
which is very rough but honestly it covers the basics. Jasper knows what he's about
When he says locks, I'm meaning like... biometric kinda scans only I couldn't remember the word when I wrote that. I may go back and write that in actually.
The other thing it can do that is like. the main part of the plot of this story is that the mages can use it to control other people! They're getting other people caught for their crimes!!
Mostly when a soul mage uses their magic, they're relying on their own life to power it. So many soul mages burn out early because they don't get the exchange right, or they just use their magic too freely. If a soul mage is old it means that either
a) they don't use magic a lot
b) they know the best exchange rates for spells (eg smaller spells will take less life)
c) they largely use it via aids such as gems and older spells that have been sunk into items for general use
or
d) they tie their spells to someone else's life.
d is why soul mages tend to have a pretty bad rep amongst the wider mist worlds. They're not as bad as green witches in general but hoo boy.
sometimes!! sometimes tying their spells to something else is useful. This is how you get the healing; you convince the hurt person's body to heal itself gotdamn quicker and if they maybe get a year or so knocked off their life in the process they probably won't notice. Can they siphon off other people's lives to extend theirs? uh. technically. yes. that's the plot of another story (sort of)*.
This is how you get the biometric locks and other fun trinkets that non-mages can use; you set the spell into the lock or the item or whatever and give it a trigger phrase or motion which can be used by anyone. Biometrics will ofc only work for like the one person, but anything else is just dependant on the person knowing the phrase or the motion. Using an item with soul magic in it is obvious - Solaris likens the feeling to a sudden weakness at one point and doesn't like using it. You can fully faint while using soul magic if you're not used to it sort of thing.
This is how you get the interrogation; no one likes having their soul poked at ok. it feels gross. they can and will rifle through your memories. Sometimes they ask for consent first (it could also be a therapy tool, I guess) but holy fuck it's tricky to do without damaging anything. Weirdly this is a fine-wire one that tends to fall more on the mage's life being the one used up because they're still the one using the magic. They could tip it the other way, but then they run the risk of like. killing the subject before they get anything useful.
The controlling-other-people part of the magic is less well known which is why everyone is so fucken stumped by the shenanigans that start this story. It's like. fairytale kinda nonsense. "the soul mage made me do it" to the tune of "the boy who cried wolf", you know?
But that one is tied to the victim's life and can be set as intricately as the mage likes. Most people never know they've even been controlled, although they'll have li'l missing screeds of time where they've just blanked the fuck out and then come to, maybe in another place with no knowledge of how they got there
noticeably it does not work well on fully bonded ferals bc they have two souls and not everyone knows this. The mage that goes after Jasper fucks up by just suppressing his human soul to make him lose the fight and uh. well. buddy's got a lynx soul in there as well, and the lynx has access to fire. That one may have backfired (lmao) on the mage that set the spell, but I'm not sure yet
The other fucked up casefile I have is Elise who is the target the soul mages are trying to get ahold of in this story bc she has a green witch sharing her body who fucked herself over by attempting to use soul magic when she was already dying. There's a timeshare going on. The soul mages stabilised them and would like the experiment back, thank you very much, but because of the stabilisation thingy-majiggy, soul magic no longer affects them. Elise would like the timeshare broken, the green witch is fairly sure she'd die in that case and Does Not Want that, no thank you. They are however both agreed that they're not letting the soul mages get their grubby little paws on them. The soul mages would like her back because literally no one can work out how the fuck she managed to make that happen. like. the only other beings that have two souls are fully bonded feral mages and uh. demons. I think is how Skilkran is classed anyway. but yeah Elise is decidedly neither like damn she's just a girl who turns into a witch when night falls.
(soul magic probably could affect them, the parameters of the spells just need to be set properly but no one's actually thought of that yet. or maybe they have but it's been since they escaped so they haven't had a chance to test the theory)
anyway! yes! soul magery! it was uhhhh it was born out of a dumb joke with brother#2 because the first time I wrote it the magic was set in the saxophone of a dude who was playing um. soul music.
that scene still exists within The Soul of the Party because there are no depths I will not sink to for a dumb joke.
*this is Mint of Red String, they may have had a bad break up with a soul mage in their youth and the soul mage reacted by uh. cursing them to drain the life of whoever fell in love with them? That gets broken with the power of polyamory and also maybe necromancy because fuck yes the gays are winning this one.
