going back over nabor's iterations and i forgot these three were described as "manwhore designs"

(full set under cut)

#spy's talky things #spy's wips #i guess? theyre from before summer #the colour scheme is primarily based on his older design but like. i had a really hard time letting go of the blue and green #except blue and green dont go well together most of the time so smth had to bend #ended up cooling off the blue a lot and now he looks like spearmint #the bare arms were because my partner saw the first one and was like ''does he have sleeves?'' #and i p much just said ''well now he doesnt'' #moral: make your intentions very clear when you're designing. or don't. sometimes you end up with mahjies with bare arms

BOOK I

A Crown of Ashes | 🐦‍⬛ Phoenixborn #1

A Crown of Ashes is the first installment in a thrilling adventure fantasy set in a brutal and captivating universe filled with political maneuvering and intricate world-building, including elements of war, battle, hand-to-hand combat, perilous situations, blood, intense violence, mention of rape, references to sexual assault, brutal injuries, death, poisoning, graphic language, and explicit sexual activities depicted on the page.

Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note and prepare to enter the world of Aldoria.

[00.0]: GHOSTS FROM THE PAST

The emergence of [mahjie] usually occurs during or near the onset of childhood. It typically surfaces before the happenstance of puberty to acclimate its host to its new mahjie powers. Rare are the ones who experience mahjie manifestations later in life, as the mahjie outburst on both the body and the mind would be fatal. Rarer still are those who exhibit mahjie abilities during infancy or are born with it.

Those bearing an Eileedon mark - the mark of the gods - have become all but mythical, their presence unseen for hundreds of years, if not longer. Many believe this phenomenon to stem from the Gods having turned their backs on humanity. And while being marked was once considered a blessing, it is now seen as a curse.

How else would one describe a God’s disappearance itched on one’s skin?

The Season of Ending

Cetràn the 29th

Year 2:361 of the Phoenix

Like most tales, Elyn’s started with blood.

Born with mahjie and marked by Hehra the Moon goddess, her blood was too precious to be spilled, yet too dangerous for others to keep alive. Or so she had been told when being ushered in the middle of the night into a clandestine boat, not as the princess of Aldoria but passing of as a peasant girl while men resembling fat, ugly pigs barked orders left and right. The stench of unwashed bodies, piss, and vomit clung to the damp, cramped quarters of the vessel, clung to the cracked, sticky wooden floor.

Now clung to Elyn.

There had been more rules being drilled into her ears - any talk about her Eileedon mark from now on prohibited being one of them and clearly the most important one. All Elyn could focus on was the nausea churning in her gut, confused as to why she wasn’t allowed to talk about the mark her mom and father had always called beautiful. But nausea had gripped Elyn so hard her eyes had watered and her throat had hurt, so much so she hadn’t been able to hear, nor understand all of them.

Elyn didn’t understand much that day. However, she understood blood.

She understood the violence of it when she saw her mother cut open only a few days prior, vulgarly displayed for everyone to see and the queen of the six realms no more, blood dripping down her legs, then her feet, until it drowned her toes in a pool of red. So red. She understood the pain of it when her father, trying to usher her to safety, was captured and beaten to a bloody pulp. Again and again, until his face was unrecognizable and smashed into the marble floor in crimson smears.

She understood its sinister meaning now, too - far from the capitol after that awful boat trip, her mark forcibly concealed behind a glamour, hiding in a shabby shed from the throne stealers and wearing garbs for clothes. It marred her guardian Vivienne’s stern face, the woman’s head made of dark, tightly coiled curls now hovering over Elyn’s makeshift cot with hardened eyes and bruised lips. It was barely visible under the waning candle light, but the woman was completely drenched in blood.

Elyn’s heart stopped.

Now that she understood blood, she wished she didn’t.

Vivienne’s eyes easily found Elyn’s and the woman smiled ruefully at her. There was blood on her teeth, too. “Sorry about that, I tried to make myself more presentable.” Vivienne pointed to the basin near the wall. Its water went from clear to reddish brown. “But there’s not much time left. They’re here.” Vivienne’s voice was barely a whisper yet sliced through Elyn like a knife. “It’s time for you to fly away, little bird.”

Any other night, Elyn would have argued that she wasn’t little - her lineage took after the legendary phoenix after all. But not tonight. Tonight, she felt small, just like the child she was despite the massacre of her entire family. She hadn’t mourned their death. That was a type of luxury she couldn’t afford when there were people wanting to see her hang on a spear.

She took in Vivienne's tall frame clad in armor from head to toe; it glistened under the candlelight in flickers, still shining a bright silver under all that thick, dripping red. A long, dark coat was draped over one of her shoulders, its fabric rich and lined with fine silver threads. Vivienne was riddled with scars, old, new ones framing her face. Yet, there was no hesitation in her golden eyes as she waited for Elyn to stand. In that moment, Elyn understood with vivid clarity that tonight, more blood would spill.

But it wouldn’t be hers.

Soft Mahji oc pog, Serasius (: (his design is based on sera/serenas clothes, they’re from rune factory 2)

#runescape #mahjarrat #serasius

[ishhbowl]

tell me about your oc’s they sound cool :3

OKOKOK SO! i have many oc universes but the one i was talking abt is my (eventual. i will make it someday i promise) webcomic Into Orbit!! its about four teenagers in the year 2009 who’s town is getting invaded by aliens and wacky hijinks ensue :)

^^^this is the only piece of (some of) the mcs i have on hand, there are more but im on my phone rn 😔

the one at the bottom is jaz phuong!! she/her bisexual grunge enthusiast who has dreams of owning a motorcycle, but unfortunately she is Fifteen Years Old and cannot drive one. truly a tragedy. however she makes due with wearing a motorcycle helmet roughly 60% of the time (has gotten into detention several times refusing to take it off.) she can come off as gruff and intimidating at first, however she just has autism and social anxiety and doesn’t know how to talk to people. she is the coolest one here by far tho. and also my favorite to draw. i love her <3

going clockwise, the next character is theo rivera!:3 he/him token cishet (however he is ace and gnc!! so still a win for the gays) and jaz’s reluctant friend/bestie/boyfriend depending on where you are in the story. hes a silly goofy mischievous little boy with a bad temper that he tries to keep under wraps. when he’s in a really bad mood, though, he sneaks out into the junkyard next to his house and smashes shit with his trademark Baseball Bat Never Once Used To Play Baseball (tm), which will absolutely not ever get him into trouble what are you talking about. he rides on the bike pegs he insisted jaz attach to her bike and they are so incredibly important to me do you understand

next up is shelley “shel” bloomberg, he/him worlds most cringest boy (its a feature not a bug). he’s grayromantic and gay, but he doesn’t know it yet so shhh!!!! hes a massive alien fan, local believer of every cryptid ever (he WILL show you "proof" if asked), avid xfiles watcher and scifi enjoyer. basically hes a huge nerd and we love him for it. usually he gets made fun of (*COUGH* SYLV *COUGH*) for his interests, but its lucky he knows his stuff, seeing as their town is about to get invaded by real-life actual aliens!! can most likely be found on call with his brother alex, playing his scuffed (absolutely NOT pirated he would never do such a thing stop lying) copy of the sims 2, or looking for extraterrestrial life using his handheld telescope. or just looking at space bc you know. space cool.

finally, we have sylvia mahji, she/her the most beloved of girls in the whole wide world. unlabeled sapphic who is POSSESSED BY AN ALIEN!! UH OH!!! well its really more of an unwilling symbiotic relationship but still UH OH!! dont worry her and her alien parasite become buddies (or more... hmmm.........) as time goes on. and she gets alien superpowers. hell yeah. she often ends up being mean to people in an effort to fit in, however all she really wants is friends :( her and theo used to be besties above all the resties but they started drifting apart at the beginning of the story, something to be discussed over the course of the plot. also she and shel are neighbors and have a rival relationship, like they hate each other so much for literally no reason. can you tell i like rivals to friends relationships. oH YEAH AND SHES FUCKING CRACKED AT BASKETBALL GIRL IS BALLING FR

other characters include: spacegirl!! the aforementioned alien parasite of sylv. she, although her name would make you think otherwise, is not a girl but an alien. i dont have a design settled on for her, but i do know that i want her to be humanoid, and she's got a green and pink color scheme :) when she takes control of sylv's body (because she can do that. forgot to say. eyah) sylv's eyes turn green and other eyes open up all over her body because cool :thumbsup: she came on the same spaceship the invaders coming to earth are from, but she just wants to see earth and have fun!! and maybe prevent her evil tyrant alien leader from taking over another world!! who knows!!

another important character is alex flores-bloomberg, shel's half brother, scene kid, and all around goofy guy :3 transmasc he/him, really just here to cause problems and get myspace followers. shel's father absolutely hates him and that fact is only partly because he stained his entire bathroom with hairdye. he's two years younger than the rest of the cast, a point that will be constantly used to make fun of him. i love him dearly. you get it.

uhh eyah thatsit :3 i could go on about them forever and everr so if anyone wants to know more about a specific character(s) or the plot or whatever pleasepleaseprettyplease ask!! ^_^

I’m hoping to commission a portrait for my upcoming DnD campaign! I’ll be playing as a Shifter Barbarian, following the path of Wild Magic. My character is descended from Hyenas on his animal side and hails from a desert area surrounding the forests his ancestors once roamed. A bad deal with the Fae petrified their woods, and made the forest itself a shifting maze of magical dangers. Mahji fights with a glaive crafted with the help of his tribes druids, by growing a tree out of a scorpion claw

Sorry for the delay. I was in the process of moving when this message was sent. If you are still interested in a commission, please contact me via email as I don't really frequent Tumblr anymore. [email protected] You can also follow my work and contact me via twitter. That's really the one social media site that I'm still active on. I'll actually be posting my own new shifter barbarian today. Ironic.

The good turned evil.

The keeper would stare at the male who was on the floor, obviously looking more worn down and beaten from their fight that ended in her winning and in his current position on the ground while he silently staring at her. “What... You don’t seem too pleased to see me right now, Mahji.” She purred out, walking over and using her foot to place him onto his back and stare down at the seeker. 

This was not the Rain he knew.. This one seemed more colder in her words, despite the familiar playful banter and her stare about matching the intensity of her aether that poured out of her. The ice around her hands, a signature ability of hers, were not a crystal clear color with a tint of blue but a pitch black color that swirled around her skin and in her eyes. Without much warning, she would grab him by his shirt and decide to drag him away with her to a place no one would possbily find them.

“Let’s have a little bit of fun, ok fireball?”

Happy Pride Month! I'm gonna be making some pride mahjies :)

Here's Akthanakos!

#runescape #akthanakos #mahjarrat #you can hc these mahjies however u want #we all valid in this house

[lxgatus]

honestly? you’re doing great and i’m so excited that we share a lot of similar headcanons and a lot more than i’ve ever thought of tbh!

          ASDFGHJKL this really means a lot, thank you! When I picked up Wahi I was super nervous because the Mahjies as a whole are hella complex and because I had done the quests AGES ago a lot of important information was fuzzy tbh. Usually, when I pick up muses it’s while I’m in the process of watching/playing the media so this was a big change and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do him justice. 

     I’M having a LOT of fun writing with you and interacting with the fandom as a whole, I feel really accepted here and it’s a really nice change of pace from big claustrophobic fandoms tbh.

HOW’S MY PORTRAYAL? || @shadowtongued

#rping has woken up a new appreciation for characters I never really sat and thought about #you've made Sliske quickly become a favourite of mine #i just wish the fandom was more active so other mahjies could get some appreciation too #shadowtongued

@poisonhemloc said: ....I'm just. they're banned from entering building when they first show up because they break floors and crack steps. The real reason Senntisten survived as long as it did buried is because it was made with how heavy Zaros' favorites were in mind

LITERALLY YEAH.......... i’m declaring this canon because there’s concept art describing how much of senntisten’s architecture was enchanted to be stronger and float in the air and shit (especially the higher offices, which of course would be largely populated by mahjies)
