So despite spending weeks working on these tarot-themed cards for @legendlarkpod, I forgot to take my own pictures before I mailed them! Luckily Errol is a gentleman and scholar who documented them after they arrived, so thank you, Postmaster. Sadly, Tumblr is unhappy with the lovely video footage Errol took to show that many of these cards are shiny, so just take my word for it: I used a lot of metallic and shimmery paints!

Arcana:

Slake: Temperance

Kai: Death

Maeri: The Star

Fran: The Magician

Faelen: The Hanged Man

Corbin: Judgement

Did it take me another 2 months to finally post these on social media? Yes. Working in healthcare in the US is a nightmare and I stopped being a human being for a hot minute!

Anyway, go listen to LegendLark's podcast! Can't recommend it enough!

I’m so excited to finally show off the dice I designed for our annual Patreon gift at Dames and Dragons this year! The process of designing for them was tricky, there were a lot of rules to keep in mind for the spacing and thickness of the lines in the engraving, but I’m so happy with how they turned out! Hopefully patrons will be too!

We already sent out our annual gift to mail-tier patrons, but if you’d like to grab a set for yourself, they are available in our online store!

here it is - my page illustration for @2dames2zine! i will be posting my spot illustration as well but i wanted to give this one its own post so i can be mushy about it. some personal info and tmi below the cut so you can ignore it if you want to

this piece became very personal for me as shortly after i started working on it, my mom passed away. i wont get too much into details but it felt very abrupt because she hadnt told anyone how bad her cancer was getting.

i ended up taking a week off of work to go through her things and start setting up a memorial service. during that time i considered dropping the zine, but ultimately decided not to and im glad i didnt. this piece got me through the worst of that time by giving me an outlet to focus on.

and i think the subject matter helped me, too, completely by accident. i had chosen the composition months beforehand without knowing how strangely poignant it would end up being, lol

this is all stuff that ive kept close to my chest for the past half a year, and i debated even saying anything about it now, but it feels important to me to say so that i can express how thankful i am to the r2fil mods and my fellow contributors. you helped me cope with the worst experience of my life, and you didnt even know it!

and id like to send enormous love to the legendlark crew, without whom none of this would have even been possible. the story you all created means the world to me.

i dont usually share this much on the internet, so thanks for reading if you did

Took me a hot minute, but here's my fic from @2dames2zine ft. art by the talented @cantdance!!!! I've said this in a million places, but I am so proud of the zine and our work on it, especially the mods, and I'm honored to have been a part of it.

Also formally thanking @thistlecrimes for making my entire life with their comments about my fic/the zine.

Finally, thank you to @legendlarkpod for just being the best dang podcast this side of the Mississippi.

I don’t know how old Diamond is, because all of the group swooning over him reads sort of like middle schoolers fangirling over a much older boyband member, but I DO know that if he IS age-appropriate to crush on any of the main group, he is HEAD-OVER-HEELS in deep, courtly love for Maeri. 

I mean, like. She’s canonically gorgeous, she didn’t lock eyes with him and immediately become a fawning sycophant, she’s incredibly powerful, she holds herself with grace and dignity, and she’s just genuinely good and kind and willing to try to rail against injustice and the systems that harm mortals, she’s a literal goddess but she still has a deeply human side. There’s nothing in that entire description that ISN’T bard catnip. 

Maeri is LITERALLY the stuff of songs. Maybe DIAMOND’S songs. We know that Jambo the Maskmaker knew the Survivor’s Ballad, but (as far as I know) we don’t know who wrote it. Maybe Jambo picked it up from Diamond. 

I just wanna imagine Diamond, newly-crowned champion of Dawson, getting saved by the Guardians and latching onto Maeri as his muse. He hears news of the battle, learns how she Names herself in the most dramatic and thematically appropriate way possible, and is DEVASTATED by the news that she has become trapped in the void. He prays to his benefactor, who gives Diamond a chance to save her. If he gathers all these powerful artifacts from all these dangerous places and brings them across the continent, he gets to bring her back. HE gets to be HER hero.

And then after all that work, somebody beats him to it, and his god shows up and shoos him off to the side while he bargains for his own life. 

And yeah, at least he gets to look really cool while giving the Guardians a concert, which is what he’s best at in the whole world, but Maeri doesn’t even look that impressed.

Heartbreaking.

little story bit I spontaneously wrote to deal with this latest episode. blatant wish fulfillment. sorry not sorry A night in the desert, just after the Fall of Estra. Before everything else, before dragons and monsters and kings and Dashing Dawson, before golden tears and the Survivor, before the daughter of Kai even has a name, a goddess and a guardian are, for a moment, just two girls.

~~~ It’s dark now, out there in the vast expanse of sand, after the island falls. Laika stares blankly up at the stars, sprawled on the sand next to Gingie’s sleeping form, her fingers clicking out a lazy rhythm on her armor. There are less stars than she remembers from her sleepless nights in Estra, less constellations recognizable. She supposes it’s the clouds, or maybe the haze of dust lingering in the air, from when the island broke and fell and she lost her new friends—

She cuts off that train of thought. She can’t be distracted, can’t be upset right now. She has to focus. She has to find them. They might be the only people left in this new world. Besides her goddess, of course…

She glances sideways at her, trying not to be too obvious about it, and discovers that the goddess is lying on her side, watching Laila’s idle hands tap rhythmically on the hinges of her chestplate. Laika watches her out of the corner of her eye, amazed. She looks so beautiful like this, unguarded, just herself, and Laika remembers again that for all they call her the goddess, she really is just a girl, not ready to be the sole deity of a whole people. 

Her focus drifts across her face, the way the moonlight seems to flow down it, glittering fragments flashing in her hair, gathering like dew on her eyelashes, pooling on her nose and cheekbones. It looks as if someone has brushed her with silver, woven it into her very self, made it glow with light. Her face is softer, now, with exhaustion and stress and fear faded into a peaceful sleepiness in the moonlight. She does not know Laika is watching; as far as she is concerned, she is unnoticed, and this lets her drop her guard.

Laika watches the goddess’s wide, silver-speckled eyes track the idle, repetitive movement of her fingers, and knows that this is truly a holy moment; that for the rest of her life, this will be her image of her goddess, this beautiful girl lying beneath the desert’s dust-clouded sky, truly calm for the first time Laika can think of, watching Laika as if Laika is the true goddess.

Laika twitches at that thought, her fingers freezing, her eyes flicking involuntarily sideways, and the goddess tenses immediately, her guard resumed. The game is up. Laika turns her head to look at her. “Goddess,” she whispers into the night, letting her focus glide across the face of this girl who may be the only humanoid left in this entire world. “You’re prettier when you relax…”

She hadn’t meant to say that. She feels her cheeks warm, and realizes with a shock that the goddess is blushing too.

Thank you, the goddess signs shakily. Laika is glad she’s been watching the others’ signs; she knows enough to recognize it. “It’s true,” she whispers, feeling her voice reverberate through her skull, the only sound besides breathing and the wind audible in this empty desert. “I wish you’d do it more…”
