Ooh, how bout Nari for the prompts!

@/arcaneorderships

Send me a character || Nari || @arcaneorderships Since we know so little about the Order from canon, everybody has their own brilliant take on their background and so on - so heeey, these are for 'my' Nari. 💚🌿

1: sexuality headcanon Unlike Skrael and Bellroc, Nari was never human and as such has very little of humanity's limitations and hang ups. Let's just say she is ridiculously sex positive. Thumbs up for pleasure! In fact, in ancient Greece, her peeping behavior was the origin of all the horny dryad stories. If she was in the forest and a couple got busy, there's a good chance she was watching.

2: otp Omigosh, Bellroc x Skrael x Nari. For sure, those two are everything for her. Might be scenarios that are Bellroc x Nari or Skrael x Nari, of course. I need to consume/create more content about them jhfjdhs

3: brotp I mean, The Order is the ultimate brotp. There's no getting around that. However! If I had to pick another bro for Nari... it would be Douxie. Together (and not hunted!) they'd be a force of Chaotic Good. They have had sooo many late night talks as she tried to understand humanity again, and its current age. While he tried to understand the Order, and her, and what she's trying to do. There's a lot of potential for understanding and working things out, but the genesis of their friendship is him at his limit trying to keep them safe while being on the run from a threat that his old (deceased) master was running from - and her being at her limit, worn and torn and missing her family. And in between all of that, small moments of understanding, and bonding, and her smiling and watching him sleep because she's a plotting little shit.

But seriously, she's the worst room mate - zero boundaries.

4: notp I don't think I've seen much pairings with her, to be honest.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head Nari's first form, back when she first tried to interact with humans, looked very different from her current form. Horrifying. Nightmarish. Her second form, so mild and kind and harmless, was much better received. While Skrael and Bellroc take great care to keep their appearance as intimidating as possible, she, arguably the most dangerous of them, does the opposite.

6: favorite line from this character "Your time is not done."

She can bring a dead body back to life. A corpse. A carcass. She can go full on Pet Sematary on her own, no combined powers, no fancy symbols or chanting, just a wave of her hand.

7: one way in which I relate to this character Random kooky chaotic good. I apologize.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character This has more to do with the inane, toothless portrayal we get of her sometimes. Helplessly bleating 'Merrrlin' - please. We've seen what you can do. I'm embarrassed for her sometimes.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? BOTH. Cinnamon roll with a problematic filling.

hellooo, tales of arcadia community...!

it's hard to believe it's already halloween, which means ordershipping week 2022 is coming to a close. but it already looks like our first year was a resounding success! for such a tiny corner of the fandom, we saw some really incredible turnout; i for one am well pleased to see such excitement over our niche side blorbos (o´〰`o)

for ease of access, and to celebrate everyone's efforts one last time, here's a preliminary final roundup of all the fills we've seen so far.

[shouta-edits]

hey, so just wondering- i'm having trouble finding a certain post of yours- could you link it or something?

it was a skraelroc stimboard, with gold and wine colors and i've been trying to use keywords to find it, but it's not coming up :(

it would be a huge help! @/arcaneorderships

It was a moodboard; that's why it wasn't showing up! @arcaneorderships

#not a rq

[arcanelovepile]

wAIT, you run that Skrael rp blog? I was reading some of your writing there a few days ago, including your drabble with Maurgh and Skrael (the one that has "I am the maggot in your eye socket"), and its been living rent free in my head for DAYS

I just wanna say, holy shit it was amazing (and i didn't want to do it as a non rp blog clogging up a rp blog's notifs)

@/arcaneorderships

Heey! Yeah, that's me! That Skrael blog was my very first ToA blog haha ♡

I'm so happy you like that drabble! Maurgh is by far the nastiest oc I've ever made.

Thank you so much!! (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)♡

(re: my latest gay activity)

THANKFULLY @arcaneorderships i managed to exert some measure of self-control this time 😂 i don't actually know any languages written in cuneiform, and i successfully refrained from trying to learn just for a soft silly doodle. but i do think a lot about how the order might have seen/received/participated in the discovery of various human technologies, including writing! so if u don't mind: gay little headcanon time Φ ᆺ Φ

for my order, it starts with bellroc. it's not the most elegant system, just little scratch marks or symbols at first to keep track of an ever-expanding collection of materials for their alchemical projects. think very very early cuneiform, probably not yet even crossing the border between "picture" and "symbol." but in those days they are still more or less interacting with (very limited) segments of human societies. while i do think they come up with their own writing system at some point (cries in worldbuilding...), i think they'd also naturally become familiar with these other systems just because they end up learning to read them, and so they end up cribbing a lot of ideas. the gold thing bellroc is holding in that picture is meant to be one of these things: a kind of two-pronged stylus, one point with a wedge tip (for making cuneiform marks), and the other a smooth/dot tip (like a pencil). they might write mostly (though not only) in their own language, but rather than reinvent the wheel, so to speak, they just adapt a system they already know works well.

my skrael. is a weird case. i basically just recycled this headcanon from an earlier and much more embarassing fandom oc, haha. i think the term i learned then was aliterate—not "illiterate," but just. not concerned with writing and written text to the (massive) degree most human societies are now. basically: he's not quite dyslexic (i don't think), but he largely doesn't read written text unless he has to. even then, it's mainly a nuisance: he either has to pay a lot of attention OR "just magic himself to be able to do it." (and as you may remember from bellroc, i'm very fond of "migraines following over-use of even the best assistive magic.") so while he can read, he just...generally Does Not. hence gently bullying bellroc to read for him, instead. >:)

i do love the thought of the order + writing though, so in return for giving me the excuse to write up this little post:

"wow crow that outfit looks awfully similar to the one you did for double date night ship week art" after staring at that picture for two straight days i 100% forgot the embroidery on his cloak and yes, several months later, it still HAUNTS me :')

one day however... One Day... i'll get to the fic i designed this outfit for and then the whole order will be fancystuck for ever and ever aMEN

#wip tag #the arcane order #skraelroc #most of the tablets in that drawing ARE supposed to give the sense of 'cuneiform' #but that's mainly because i realized halfway into the hieroglyphic tablet... i don't actually know hieroglyphics enough to fake it lol #i DO think i have a pretty good 'handwritten cuneiform' brush in procreate now tho 👀 #possibly to be shown off whenever i have the brain to follow up on babblish's tags on the same art...!! #mine

[dreamcrow]

Also nari ofc

(from headcanon game here; thank you for the ask!)

1: sexuality headcanon

you know, i have been thinking much of this since starting to work on originsfic!! as you know my central thesis is twofold: 1.) "the arcane order is powered by love," and 2.) "nari is still part of the order, HELLO." i do not...know? if my nari is aroace? i don't think so. i think she certainly feels...content, unpartnered, even as she sees her two best friends equally content in the opposite state. but... hm! you know, i clearly have to think about this more. (what was she doing before getting caught in the fairyforest...?)

2: otp

the fandom is seriously sleeping on narishipping, imo. she's cute! she's made of love! come on, people, i might not have an answer yet but surely some of us do >:V though i suppose i am, again, biased, bc i've experienced some very sweet narroc/narrael in my time (thank u @babblish and @arcaneorderships!).

(now i'm just imagining v-shaped narroc/narrael where skrael and bells are just bros but looking fondly on nari like. 'ah. that's her. that's our horrible necromancer disaster (full romo)" oh no i LOVE /)___(\)

3: brotp

i gotta say, it's cute when she's babysitting toby in hextech, but. yeah, no, i think my answer here is just "the rest of the arcane order " lol

4: notp

once again: not harshing vibes, bc i know this is popular. but i actually. really. really dislike. what is it called, "magi/cal siblings?" douxie and nari? mostly a platonic ship from what i've seen (maybe romo would be less. Like This) but SO much of what i've seen out there for these characters seems to 1.) completely infantilize her while also 2.) COMPLETELy erasing the fact that... y'know... nari had other relationships before showing up in camelot? it's got some cute potential i guess but the oversaturation + suspect takes in a lot of it tend to put me off. people are wrong about characters on the internet, je telephone à la police.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

she got into brocéliande (the fairy-forest, the "eternal forest" her title comes from) by wandering through this:

i know this isn't where she comes out though (when bellroc and skrael come rescue her!), but i...haven't actually decided yet where that is 😂

6: favorite line from this character

"this was not worth it." listen. i—listen. your honor... they CARE each other...!! ´ A `

7: one way in which i relate to this character

loves bellsnskrael, however that love is realized

"good is not nice"

awkward ineffectual but very earnest reassurance of douxie ("thanks! you're definitely gonna get tortured about it tho")

...shhh yes i can count to "one"

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

hm. not so much anything she does, but basically every time merlin interacts with/speaks over her i'm just here like 😬 wow, this sure was a choice

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

PROBLEMATIC FAVE!!! everyone forgets that she NEVER says the order is wrong, only that what they're doing isn't worth it, and even that only once bellroc is hurt 😭 lov this horrible necromancing bug.

#LEAF LEAF LEAF #trollhunters #toa wizards #tales of arcadia #nari #q&a #ask games #ohhh there's some zest in this one 👀;; but thank u m'dear!!

Hands, pale, oak- for the ask game!

@arcaneorderships

(wip word guessing game) / @arcaneorderships ✧

hands:

Hardly the worst of this place—he's determined not to think of his hands again, not to look at them—but this world, if it is a world, is empty.

pale:

Even in the half-moon, he sees the color drain from the man's face, sending his features just as pale and drawn as the engravings on his ivory horn.

no oaks! (mostly cedar and rowan, so far.)
