more characters from my upcoming modern fantasy cop dnd campaign!!
per usual more lore below the cut →
on the left is the character I play, Analaia, an absolute bimbo nepo baby who’s only good skill as a cop is her ability to playfully gaslight people into giving her information and her ability to get into anyplace she wants.
on the right is Shayde (played by my friend rey), a former detective who, after an accident while on a case, had several parts of his body replaced with experimental cyborg technology. he has now (reluctantly) returned to the police force to help lead a team of incompetent rookies.
think “elle woods but cop” and “disgruntled hot topic employee” but they somehow hit it off and are now best friends
It’s fun being in a fandom that literally doesn’t exist

"Have you ever wondered why people from all across the world have stories and paintings about dragons, all from the same time period. From Asia to Europe to Africa. These big lizards, some with fire breath, some with wings. It’s probably because they are real. There is no other explanation. But where are they, you might ask. Everywhere. And this is what would happen if they came back."
Any ideas why a merman would be enemies with a human during an apocalypse? I’m trying (and failing) to write an enemies to lovers but I can’t figure out why they are enemies!
If anyone has name suggestions, I would love to hear them.
I have, literally, written for three days straight and I have a permanent headache
Would you read a book about three brothers with family issues during a dragon apocalypse with history-accurate dragons and creatures from mainly Scandinavian folklore that also has queer, ethnic, and disabled diversity?
Please follow me and help me write and publish my book.

Modern Fantasy Headcanons #2
Vampire covens have largely shifted from the wealthy upper class adults to the lower class college kids over time. In fact a recent study has shown that vampires will specifically target college kids to change and bite. This is mostly due to the fact colleges still abide by the forgiveness of student loans if you are dead- or in this case undead. With the rise in prices and the stagnation of wages most college students jump at the opportunity. This makes it easier for the covens to get new members.
Despite the targeting of college students the coven leader will send scouts to observe the human for a series of months to see if they will fit within the coven. They will then strike at the human’s lowest moment to ensure consent. From there the coven will begin observing the human’s connections. It is not uncommon to find an entire family or friend group being bitten and absorbed into a coven. This ensures stronger coven ties and the strengthening of the coven as a whole.
Modern Fantasy Dwarf Headcanons #2
Dwarven young are extremely well protected. Most will not leave the mountains until they are the human equivalent of ten years of age. More so, dwarven young will not be allowed out of their homes until they are the human equivalent of five. This has caused the misconception of dwarven babies being carved from stone.
Of course the parents often take it as a compliment! To dwarves comparing the child to rocks or stronger metals/gems is similar to saying their child is strong and will live a long life. Common things dwarven parents call their children are often Pebble, Stone, Precious Gem, Gold Nugget, Ore, and in some instances Coal Ember. This, of course, only makes the misconception of dwarves being carved from stone more popular.
Common nick names given to children often have to do with the parent’s craft. It is not uncommon to hear the dwarf child being called Little Pickaxe or Little Forge depending on profession. Many times the parent chooses to only refer to the child by a nickname when outside of the mountain they live in. It is an old custom carried on into the present that is meant to protect the child by making sure a stranger cannot trick them into thinking they can be trusted.
When it comes to human charges, however, the rules change. Often dwarven family will refer to the human as their middle name, a family name, or by descriptors. Though some will refer to them as metals/stones/precious gems and the like it is not as common as the former. It can be guessed with a surprising bit of accuracy that a dwarf who refers to their human(s) as metals, stones, or precious gems has known that human since their birth and has taken over most of that human’s raising since then. This also carries over to other species adopted by dwarves though humans are the most common.
It is considered bad manners to refer to someone as their actual name when introducing them to strangers unless that stranger is in a higher position than both persons. If one does not know the rank of the stranger a safe bet to go with is the dwarf’s family name/clan name with a descriptor such as ‘Dark hair of the Irontooth Clan’. Children are not to be introduced to strangers until they are firmly in their teens. This has caused quite a bit of shock to dwarves being introduced to children of other races. The most children get as introduction to a stranger is ‘my child’ or ‘my (2nd/1st/3rd/etc..) eldest/youngest’.
WARNING: Do not ask a dwarf child their name. Ever.

Witch House
Glass teapot with floral scented tea, with three glass teacups
Mismatched floral teacups, some half full of tea
Rain spattered windowpanes
Candles placed haphazardly around a cluttered space
Bird skulls neatly arranged by size on a dark wooden shelf
Immense books with well-thumbed pages with cracked leather covers and several silk bookmarks filling a bookshelf
Small green shoots sprouting from glass jars and bottles, budding
The scent of herbs drying as the hang from the ceiling
Tiny bottles and flasks labeled absinthe in elaborate but unsteady handwriting
Minutely detailed renderings of human anatomy plastered to one wall
Dusty and faded lace curtains tied back with a length of ribbon
A closet that presents outfits depending on your mood
The scent of wood smoke and wax
Books laying half open and scattered across the room
A worn oval rug that retains its bright colors
Crystals clustered on a desk, some rough, some polished Note: This is not meant to be dismissive of pagan culture or modern magic practitioners! Please feel free to let me know if there’s a way I can be more respectful!
Okay but I’m all about faeries? Faeries with otherwise human features but intimidating yellow goat eyes. Faeries with unnaturally long fingers and nails and long sharp teeth. Faeries who’s bodies constantly shift and change. Faeries like poison dart frogs, small and brightly colored, and highly toxic. Faeries with a fondness for collecting unsavory things, like rusty scissors, fish hooks, and syringe needles. Faeries with long, prehensile tongues.
