no promises but if anyone wants to send kidstarion requests from the au I was doodling, go ahead! I've kind of run out of juice but it was very comforting to draw especially in contrast to *gestures at sw au...*
In case you wanted to see the other side (I cropped it cause you can’t zoom on here) I’m sure someone wants to see how wet Mountain’s pants are…. and Papa and Cumulus doing whatever they’re doing? Grring at each other? Rain… does not participate. He walks off stage looking annoyed. Maybe his head hurt.
Hey all my 00Q and writer mutals. Does this fandom do an Advent writing prompt list thingamigig? Ya know, all the Christmas/Holiday/Secular Festivity fluff possible where we put Our Boys in jumpers and lights with hot chocolate and write ficlets each day??? Cos I want in. Is there a prompt list I've missed? Tagging a few who might know @aniron48 @boffin1710 @samanthahirr @thestalwartheart @mi6-cafe @bishybarnaby @iceforcutie
Just Like Heaven/Steddie AU where Steve is the workaholic doctor (because if he’s useful and helping and looking after people he’s needed and people will keep him around) and Eddie is a heartbroken musician (who hasn’t played his guitar in months (not sure what causes the heartbreak cause i don’t want to kill wayne or give him an ex boyfriend maybe his band broke up idk)) anyway it loosely follows the plot line and maybe argyle is jon heder’s character or possibly eleven i haven’t worked it out yet but it’s in my brain and i need it out
This project is officially out of hand - I swore 3 months ago that I won't expand it to clones territory, I really won't, and look where I am now! I also had to double down on Rex, if I'm here and have accepted defeat, as I finally got around to watching Rebels and I just love him so much with that beard, and his freckles omg TTnTT (I really really wouldn't mind seeing him in the Ahsoka show either, please)
The rest of the Mandalorian Star Wars meets Hades AU project is here
I've spent my sick day real productively, I believe :3
May I ask for some details about your Tav? What do you mean by hasnt really lived as a tiefling before? Like literally has never seen another tiefling? Seems like being abducted by the mindflayers introduced major life changes to your Tav
I'm sorry this took so long to answer, but I ended up doing a whole bunch of art to answer this!
Ember has a really extensive backstory that's kind of long, but the short version of it is: she was caught in the crossfire of a deal her parents made with a devil. They couldn't have a child of their own because her mother was too severely ill, so they made the deal in the hopes of returning her health and along with it the ability to bear children. Unfortunately devil deals being what they are, they ended up with Ember who the devil stole from her birth parents.
Her mom was a high elf and her dad a half-elf, and her mom's side of the family were quite vocally anti-Tiefling. Because of her mother's health problems, however, they couldn't just sever contact with her parents because they relied on their money to cover the cost of healers, expensive potion ingredients and the like. They couldn't be trusted not to be a threat to Ember though, so the decision was made to disguise her as their biological daughter throughout her childhood.
Here's an age chart!
As a result, Ember didn't even know she was a Tiefling until she was around 4 or 5, when she began to present as a sorcerer and accidentally undid the disguise spell (she ends up a bard thanks to her mom, but her control of magic comes from sorcery).
Before the events of the game, the most time she ever spent as a Tiefling was when she was 13- when her mom died and her dad disappeared, the disguise spell having relied on her mum's magic. She went through hell for a while after that and as soon as she could learn how to cast the spell herself, she jumped at the chance and went back to living as her old half-elf self. So when she gets taken by the Nautiloid, it's her being forced to actually live as her real self and as a Tiefling for the first time. As a result she doesn't have great control over her tail, because she's just straight up not used to having one.
She also spends a lot of Act 1 jumpscaring herself whenever she walks by a mirror lmao.
I do plan to do some comics that are set earlier in the game at some point, and those ones will explore more of her backstory. What I've done so far has just happened to be set in Act 3, after she's already sorted a lot of her shit out. I just have no idea when that'll actually be!
