Not The Cartwheel Post.

The Deliverer

Spoilers ahead for my fic Roses Gone Wild, on the off chance any of y’all care about that sort of thing

This is my concept of Briar what looks like at the end of the fic, in her “Shepherd” form and her human form. Basically my inspirations were complete and utter disbelief that any military contractor (in this case the Black Rose) in an environment as nepotistic as Darkwill era Noxus would ever do their job without cutting corners. Like. Come on. They at minimum made her out of a corpse. And thus, the Shepherd plot line was born.

Poor Briar. After the fic ends and she gets her break from plot, she spends the next few months chilling at home with Talon and Katarina.

foaming at the mouth thinking about talon being illiterate again.. ik I've talked about it before but him being a shit reader or unable to is rather important to me. it's just so damn isolating.

I know it's not technically canon but I think about how tal's original writer thought he was illiterate and Marcus taught him symbols to use as a secret code and God how awful is that yk?? Marcus would rather communicate via a secret code rather than have talon learn to read bc keeping talon tethered and naive is in his best interest. it's so AWFUL. also I think Marcus would be a terrible teacher but that's an aside.

from an inside angle, having a secret code with your 'father' would probably make talon feel special, but he's still just being manipulated, it's kinda brutal. and I think talons hatred for being bad at stuff would ALSO make it harder to learn to read it's just heartbreaking.

I think on first glance using 'naive' is a weird word for him bc talon has experienced The Horrors, but being illiterate keeps him stuck in place and isolated and he doesn't even know it.

my old sweetheart briar skin idea for valentineessss 💘

In loving tribute to the centuries my ancestors spent using Christmas as an opportunity to get absolutely sloshed, as well as every time my sister and I have gotten into arguments helping Mom with the Christmas cookies, I present this.

Side note: until I started working on this little comic thingamajig, I never noticed how weird Talon’s palette is next to Katarina and Marcus. They’re all in gray and black, and then here’s Talon in a blue I’m not even sure Noxian stores sell. Not even their house has blue in it. Looks a bit funny when I’m coloring.

Goodness gracious primarch armor is complicated

Currently working on my thesis this term, so fanfic is coming slowly. So for now I’m doing a lot of fan art, and am planning a silly little war hammer oc project to keep my spirits up. For now enjoy me practicing dark angels and associated stuff in preparation. :)

Ides of March 2025 is going to be a fucking blast because it will have been 2069 years since Caesar's death day

Behold, the project I’ve been working on all week. Turns out drawing a beat up church is exactly what I needed to stay calm about midterms. Enjoy part one of whatever this is

Alrighty at long last fake skin line lore. Yay! Heads up this draws a lot from the German bedtime stories I was raised on, especially the brothers Grimm, and thus draws a lot from the kind of religious undertones and general peculiarities those have. It’s also super rough and more outline-y than anything. If anything is confusing lmk

Once upon a time there was a land with many holy times. During holy times people ought to refrain from unholy activities; partaking of drink, violence, and other bestial urges. One year the king and queen broke the ‘fast’ on these detail urges during the holy times. And the angel Kayle descended and cursed them, saying that if they could not resist temptation to act like animals for even a week than their child wouldn’t be able to resist them for a day in her life.

Nine months later, the princess Briar is born cursed to be a violent bloodthirsty beast. Luckily, her fairy godmother Morgana gives her a pillory that allows her to be in human form and mostly normal. When she grows up, she goes adventuring to try and break the curse entirely so she can get married.

A similar situation played out in the neighboring kingdom except a few months earlier, when their monarchs broke the fast on gluttony.

She has three trials where she’s tempted to do something verboten and resists all three times, at some point acquiring a beastly friend to help her do this that’s wearing a weird torn cloak. At the end of the trials, she is rewarded with a broken curse and the beastly friend turning back into his true form as a prince of the neighboring kingdom, where they go and prove his identity as Prince Talon with the torn cloak he’s been wearing.

They get married and stay friends till the end of their days, happily ever after.
