Wow, I have been offline for a LONG while. Not really sure how to come back online again, but I guess some Pokemon would be a good start. Here’s some semi-realistic sketches of the gen 9 guys.
HAPPY PRIDE!! ✨🏳️🌈✨ 🌈
Anything for mdzs with Jiang Yanli? Thank you!
a continuation of 1 2
Jiang Yanli doesn't carry a sword.
The only time Lan Wangji sees her with it is when they're practicing sword forms. She manages the stances and moves easily enough, but can't seem to channel a significant amount of cultivation energy through the blade.
Lan Wangji wonders about her bodyguard.
He doesn't participate in the classes, instead standing the back and observing. They'd never even spoken, only exchanged nods as Jiang Yanli had introduced them.
Brother and Uncle are encouraging him to spend time with Jiang Yanli. Apparently the talks between the elders and the Jiang's council are going well.
If they continue to go well, he could find himself engaged by summer's end.
He comes up on a loose crowd of disciples from every sect, tension running high, and he shoulders his way through to see what the fuss is about.
Jiang Yanli is standing there. Her bodyguard, for once, is nowhere to be seen.
Jin Zixun sneers at her. He wants to intervene, but there are Jiang disciples here keeping their distance. "Jiang Yanli. I see you're swordless. Again."
She just raises an eyebrow. Lan Wangji wonders what Jin Zixun hopes to gain by irritating the heir to the Jiang Sect. The Jiangs might not be as rich as the Jins, but their disciples tend to be stronger and the area they control is greater, even though they have less disciples. Pissing them off isn't a good idea.
"Does your sword even have a name?" he taunts. "I don't understand how someone like you can be the heir to the Jiang. Your clan must be so embarrassed by you."
There's a furious fission among the Jiang disciples, but still they hold their place. If Jiang Cheng was here, he imagines this would be going differently, but he's not.
Jiang Yanli tilts her head to the side, a mocking smile curling around her mouth before she turns away from him to walk away.
"Don't turn your back on me!" he shouts, unsheathing his blade and swinging it down in an arc that will embed itself into her spine.
Lan Wangji moves forward to stop it, but he's too late.
Wei Wuxian is standing where he wasn't before, standing in front of Jiang Yanli's back. He's stopped Jin Zixun's blade with the hilt of his still sheathed sword. Just as quickly as he'd moved before, he yanks Jin Zixun's sword from his hand before jamming the hilt of the sword in his solar plexus then sweeping his feet out in front of him. Between one blink and the next Jin Zixun goes from standing, armed and upright, to groaning on his back with his weapon out of reach.
"My sword's name," Jiang Yanli says calmly, having kept her back to the whole exchange, "is Wei Wuxian."
Wei Wuxian winks at him before turning to step next to Jiang Yanli. They walk away from him arm and arm with their heads held high.
Wei Wuxian hadn't even bothered to draw his sword.
TRICK OR TREAT!!! Studio Ghibli? Or atla? I've never been able to participate in your prompt fills, hopefully this gets in on time!! Love your writing, love you!
Sophie is a talented witch, so she doesn’t have to do more than glance at Howl before she sighs. “That poor boy is missing his heart.”
“Like you’re one to talk,” her fire demon grumbles beside her, “You gave me your youth to save me. Which was very stupid, by the way.”
“So you’ve said,” she says, amused. “Many times.”
She scowls and shrugs, saying, “Maybe we should stick our nose in. Maybe we can help each other, figure out a way to break the other’s curse.”
“And if not, at least your get to talk to another fallen star for a while?” Sophie asks, and before her demon can respond, she barrels forward, “Yes, fine, I suppose we don’t have anything better to do.”
the campaign i was playing my archfey warlock, Kairos, ended this past sunday so i decided to draw her post-game after her twins were born.
the imagined context for this drawing is that Kairos was returning home from a guild party and in her not so sober state, tackled her husband the moment she saw him. the twins decided it was fun and joined in
lil notes for any curious:
her husband's name is Gul'iard Wynfina, kids are unnamed however
Kairos was born human and named Helena Rivers, got isekai'ed (with her phone) into a half drow woman by her patron and took on the name Kairos Clerosis, wound up as Kairos Otsut after kinda becoming a demon and only got the name Kairos Wynfina post-game
Gul'iard was actually the first enemy the party really fought and killed together ( don't worry, he got better!)
the twin in the sprigatito pjs is male, the one with the cape is female
during the game, thanks to magic bean shenanigans, Kairos actually had a sprigatito hence the pjs; Gul'iard had a little hamster/gopher familiar that was dressed as a lil knight
if she looks familiar that's because the art i used for Kairos' token post becoming a demon was Ines from Arknights
