Several days ago I was prompted to doodle all of my OC couples, so I went ahead and did so! And why not share 'em today :D Though I'm still missing a couple shared OC pairs 😭 Featuring both the clean version and the special commentary version.
Couples from top to bottom, left to right:
Matas & Sae [M/M]
childhood friends from the same village on an adventure together
Slice & L.P. [M/M]
a vampire punk rock singer and his DJ boyfriend
Nils & Ori [M/M]
a young and curious civil servant and the grouchy old potter who lives up in the mountains
Dagim & Etefu [M/M]
an aloof temple acolyte and the wandering bard who won't seem to leave him alone
Azucar & Shio [NB/M]
mad scientist double special; the self-experimenting geneticist and the pathologist who loathes them; "If I die, please don't let anyone else dissect me."
Helori & Darsian [NB/M]
half-elf priest and their human husband, the village baker; extremely married; a lifelong love...but as long as whose life?
Marisol & Aibel [F/F]
the pirate captain of a large armada and the sweet young scullery maid she rescued from a life of tragedy
Mogwa & Cipa [F/NB]
a cruel goddess and the shapeshifter who challenged her so doggedly they ascended to godhood as well
Verin & Luna [F/F]
a potionsmaster and a conjurer both working as instructors at a magical academy; they share a dark past they don't speak about
Path & Elmyra [F/F]
a fiery tiefling cleric and a taciturn yuan-ti monk both serving the same once-dead and now recently-revived serpent goddess; relationship status: It's Complicated
And the few I didn't get a chance to include:
Xoazul & Noakl [M/NB]
a GW2 salad couple! a Priory researcher elementalist and his warrior dearheart he duped into joining the organization as well
Zeiunn & Klilim [M/M]
another GW2 pair; just a couple of Vigil science rats, the brave-hearted warrior and absent-minded engineer
Marjani & Fiam [F/F]
a demon blacksmith and her horn carver gf
And there's plenty of other minor ones, aha~ The three above as well as Azu & Shio are all shared ships with my partner, and Elmyra is an NPC in my friend's game o/
Hey friendos. It’s your friendly neighborhood Certified Human Adult(tm) here. As this year draws to a close and we set out for another whirl around the Ol’ Sol, I urge you to remember: you deserve joy. Hand in hand with this, I bring you another reminder: just because some says something is correct or a fact or true does not mean it is. Some of the most confident (or confident-sounding) people make some of the most off-base, narrow, and un-nuanced statements. The world is not simple. Life is not simple. Humans are not simple. And that’s WONDERFUL. So dig deeper, sing louder, and block more liberally.
This is our time, besties.
Let’s love what we love and whom we love the way that best suits us. And if someone comes at us with a wrecking ball, we sidestep that motherfucker and love with even more noise and weirdness and abandon. Fuck it, babes.
In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)
I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).
Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.
So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.
I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.
I hope we will be dragons.
Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:
I've been endlessly tickled today by the revelation that one of the NPCs in a campaign we've been running for over 4 years, a close friend of my cleric for over 20 years canonically, has in fact Been Black This Entire Time... 😂
He was also apparently quite the looker in his younger years. Perhaps Helori had the smallest passing crush, who knows.

The End of my Comic Books ....but NOT the end of the story.

Asks stay open, but the “new Beginning/Start” will be officially on monday.
