commissioned @littlestpersimmon to draw my first dao warden matsendra surana & the result is soooooo 😖😖😖
the grapes are a reference to the fox character in aesop’s fables, as this warden is a little too clever for his own good and knows how to chat up a crow.
Drawing for a class project thing :) my guys just chilling everyday stuff. I’m a little sick with god knows what so it took a little longer than it usually would but I finished it
Sometimes, war is the province of women.
An alternate take on the battle for air dominance over the skies of Europe during World War Two, as told through the stories of an American all-female bomber crew and the people around them.
This is a collection of standalone works that all interlock to form one big patchwork quilt of stories. It will see new additions every so often, especially because a lot of it is written to prompts. The collection on AO3 is my best attempt at organizing it in chronological order.

Want to know a little more about the OCs featured in this collection?
Please click the readmore below!
Charlotte “Lottie” Rivers-Mayhew
Fighter pilot turned bomber pilot
Can fly anything, will try anything. Big mouth, little heart. Lives in the land of innuendo and crude jokes. Loud about her whole existence. Very smart, but downplays that like whoa.
Julie “Jules” Langdon
Bomber pilot
Runs this gig and everyone else just needs to get with her program. Great at reading people the riot act. Comically unimpressed by everything that lands in her path. Nosewrinkles at any and all delays. Known for slipping people an extra bite to eat.
Christina “Tiny” Heartfield
Bomber co-pilot
Needs five hours to get ready for any kind of social event. Silver spoon baby. Knows all the gossip and all the good songs. Gets a little bit stressed about flying in warzones. Loves a good ghost story.
Eleanor “Nora” Graham
Navigator
The Mom Friend. Prone to giving hugs and peptalks. Bossy and quite rude when things don’t go her way. Cannot flirt her way out of anything. If you see her running, that’s just standard procedure.
Valerie “Val” Hodges
Radio operator
Absolute poker-faced ballsy liar. Most innocent face in the whole crew. Smokes more than her job should allow. Will try to wiggle out of any lectures by offering the most inane excuses. There’s not a puzzle she can’t solve.
Genevieve “Two” Hodgson
Tail gunner
Shows up late to everything except the war. Always chewing gum. Queen of half-hearted salutes and vague politeness. Keeps saying she’s too poor for this level of bullshit. Has a mean right hook.
Madeleine “Push” Perrault
Flight engineer
Making lists calms her down. Can and will call you stupid in four different languages. Thinks planes are better than people. Voice like a foghorn with the attitude to match. Believes she can fix anything.
Evelyn “One-Eye” Carter
Ball turret gunner
Happy-go-lucky baby of the group, rolling with life’s punches. Will talk your ear off. Could probably get away with murder. Best gunner in the crew. Can be painfully naïve.
Dorothy “Dee” Llewellyn
Waist gunner
Born a pessimist. Genuinely thinks no man should ever sport a mustache. Has a limitless supply of stories about her family. Very protective. Would inspire a riot if anyone ever let her talk long enough without interruptions.
Maxine “Max” Morrison
Waist gunner
Bold and brash and crackling with energy. Cracks more bad jokes than anyone alive. Has developed some rather complicated handshakes. Will interrupt any event or conversation. If you see her running, something’s probably chasing her.
Stella “Frosty” Lombardi
Bombardier
Icy calm in any crisis. Can calculate any bomb drop. Complains about the food. Is a true girl’s girl and refuses to so much as speak to most men. Never wants to miss out on the fun.
Lucille Dorrance-Jones, goes by Lucy Jones
Nurse
The singlemost stubborn person on the planet. Thinks some injuries are fascinating. Harbors a healthy distrust of bureaucracy and paperwork. Can probably drink you under the table. Encourages anyone to sing.
Cressida Dorrance-Jones
Interrogator
Sharp as a tack. Does not forgive, does not forget. Secretly more big-hearted than people would give her credit for. Really wants to fly a plane. Has an ongoing one-sided vendetta with Meatball.
Darlene Mayfair
Mechanic
Cheerful and spirited. Very gifted storyteller. Turns shy when complimented. Ride or die for people and sticks with them longer than they might deserve. Marches to the beat of her own drum.
Georgina “George” Campbell
Mechanic
Has a soft spot for strays. Suffers no fools. Is here to win a war, not ogle cute men. Perpetually fighting a losing battle against the grease stains on her uniform. The best co-conspirator you could ask for.
Imogene “Genie” Chapman
Clubmobile girl
Very outgoing people-person. Better at giving advice than at taking it. Designated hair-cutter. Loves movies and dancing. Knows just about anybody by name.
Jack Ellis
OSS
Doesn’t miss a beat. No-nonsense natural leader. Very determined to do what he believes is the right thing. Talks about the war in terms of “the game”. Warm and caring once he lets his guard down.
You guys know that "all my friends are pretty" moodboard trend? Yeah, I want to do that with ocs.
I had to make it with all my video game blorbos 🥺 the WYGTYAverse (and the BG3 crossover with Hjaldir) are the first ones, and the Dragon Age ones are the last 2.
I'd love to see more of everyone's ocs with this template! If you want to, of course! I'm going to tag @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @thelavenderelf @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @nerevar-quote-and-star @illumiera @dirty-bosmer @blossom-adventures absolutely no pressure if you don't want to do this, as always 💖💖
@simonambroise thank you so much for the tag, this looks fun! I'll be doing this for Max, since he's been on my mind lately.
Favorite color: I think Max is partial to green. Not a bright green but like, a nice, earthy green. I think he's comforted by more natural and muted colors. When it comes to cakes, he's all over that black and white aesthetic, but still takes great pride in making cakes that are more colorful. Especially knowing Florence and others might take more joy in them. He's a baker, for reference.
Shoe choice: Ankle high boots or sneakers are his go to. The brown, leather boots if it's going to be muddy or rainy, and the sneakers on any ordinary day. I imagine they're rather worn, because he's so practical
Season: Autumn all the way. That's definitely something Florence and Max share in. Florence's hair probably reminds Max of the leaves.
Animal: Max and Florence would love to have a cat one day. A dog might be too energetic for them both, and I can't see any other pets being a good fit. Max would look great on a horse though haha.
Pastime: Max loves baking for fun, reading, slow dancing, and singing, though mostly to himself. He's a secret songbird though.
Tagging: @caxycreations (I know you were already tagged so, just to see), @perasperaadastrawriting, @hallwriteblr, @likegemstone, and anyone else who wants to join in.
