Hi! General announcement that this is a 21+ blog, not necessarily because this blog is nsfw or the like, but because I am an adult and will naturally talk about and post adult (general) things. Any minors I notice will be softblocked, and everyone else I reserve the right to block/softblock at any time for any reason. Have a nice day!

session rambling !!

LAST SESSION WAS FUN !!! there was a wolf fight in the beginning (attacked by many wolves) but we survived it and it was neat to see. how far we've come (not dying to many wolves)

we decided to go to the dusk camp bc one of the party members rescued some kids from Wolf Cave and we needed a place for them to stay while we dropped off one of the kids in Vallaki. Apparently in Vallaki, since its after?? Strahd tried to destroy the church?? the nine pointed sun group is having executions every day now for dissenters/anyone they dont like so its looking really rough in there

since we were in the dusk camp tho the party talked with kasamir but only one of the party members could really talk with him and they spoke entirely in elvish so no one else understood how legit wacky kasamir was talking (mickey mouse voice, this is a tool we'll use for later!!!)

Oh!!! I'm rotating roma's conversation with illyeria in my head tho... THEY STILL DONT SHARE A LANGUAGE SO THEIR COMMUNICATION IS STILL.. PRETTY CLUNKY BUT (HOLDS IT IN MY HANDS)

playing a mini campaign that takes place in a horror/gothic setting and made a barmaid :)

(holding roma) i love my son i think he is so charming.

roma has the charm of a shibe that DOESN'T want to go on a walk anymore, and you gotta pull his collar and his face scrunches up and you gotta drag him and his stupid little scrunched face along. roma has the charm of a husky that's like. sitting in the car and REFUSES to get out no matter how many times you tell him its time to get out and he's just staring at you in that knowing husky way because you BOTH KNOW!!! HE'S NOT MOVING AND YOU CAN'T CONVINCE HIM TO LEAVE THIS CAR WITHOUT MAJOR INCENTIVE despite YOU KNOWING YOU CAN'T LEAVE THIS HUSKY IN THE HOT CAR.

Roma has the charm of a young person who hasn't experienced the world latching onto some niche detail and being SO CONVINCED of this little thing's GREAT IMPORTANCE that when you mention that this thing is alright HE'S SO BEWILDERED? like what do you MEAN you don't think guardians of the galaxy is PEAK CINEMA... and is just SOO passionate about this random mainstream thing because that's all he's experienced ... and has convinced himself that YOURE the strange one about all this

Roma has the charm of a cat that brings dead birds and mice and lizards into your house that theyve hunted and then MEOW SO LOUDLY AFTER THEYVE HUNTED THEM!!!! and these little corpses are just SO NASTY but your cat is so damn PROUD

roma is very stubborn and rude and annoying but he means everything he says and everything he does 100% and that's a part of his charm!!!! all the bad parts and all the good parts he will own up to completely and while he ends up grating at a lot of people i think there's something to his naked earnestness and honesty that's always on display. he's a stinky, willful dog and everything that comes with it!!!!

friend convinced me to join artfight for the first time this year and i made new portraits and fullbody refs for both ez and roma to inaugurate the occassion :)

hello below this cut is me rambling abt ez design (and also i wanted to put a pic of her side by side w the official art :^) <-- person who likes matchy things)

I love looking at her

IM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAID I TOOK REALLY BIG ARTISTIC LIBERTIES WITH HER (in the name of enjoying her design) BUT I still tried to keep the spirit of it while incorporating the traits our ez has

Because I messed with her shapes so much, I tried to make her "recognizable" by making sure the colors were more or less a lateral match, especially the pants. If I had to go back and try again, I think the next time around I would try harder to keep her hair baubles (I've seen some REALLY good solves with them on other ez fanarts) and generally consider adding more vistani elements--tho in game her actual relationship with her own heritage is still under question LOL Among the things I like, I think the design I made is fun draw!! I think it's easy to remember!!! I like that her face silhouette is a cat!!! I also think I made her pretty while keeping her distinctive and remix-able :^) lov ez
