Finally redrew Bel’s, my da ttrpg character, icon. Gave him more scars, more bags under the eyes, and some very cute double braids 😊

031

These are characters in their background, Imra and Orrian. Unfortunately neither are with us anymore and that’s part of the ✨trauma✨

000

Their femme presenting outfit is their ‘I’m here and I’ll behave’ outfit. The masc is their ‘I’m here and I aim to misbehave’ one lol

100

The setting is 19th century, the first fashion line I drew them in was their attempt at blending in with society, this set is their ‘I don’t give a shit about people knowing who and what I am’ I know it gives Christmas but listen…green and red is one of my favorite combos 😩

100

They were in exile for ten years and lonely so I gave them some puppies and a falcon ☺️ the borzois are Briar and Twig and the falcon is Queenie

100

I’m playing in an epistolary ttrpg as an exiled Druid cursed with brambles and thorns except no one knows who is playing who so I can’t share my art on my normal channels 🥲 I don’t think any of the players follow me here so…art dump!

I did a dumb horses series for work. The unicorn and magic pony are my favorite 😊

010

Honestly, same. I think a lot of the writing is just skin deep and there's so much just...lack of content. It makes it hard to latch on and find inspiration :///

It doesn't help that skyirm is such a mess of a timeline anyway, horrible to try to fit things together properly lol

000

I like the image of Rath going to Emmerich to learn death caller in order to be more reliable on the field

000

#veilguardspoilers also idk if there will ever be a time talking with Emmerich to call out his fear of death bc everytime he mentions it he's confused about where it comes from and I'm just...em...honey...your parents died simultaneously and suddenly...of course you have trauma about dying

000

But also my poor well over a decade old laptop on the lowest settings I can get will still lag through battles and it's nice having a button to push in case I'm dying and don't know it yet lol

100

He most certainly started as an ice mage and continues that line of magic but death caller let's him be tankier. He's always in the thick of it anyway with the knife and orb gameplay, now he can be in the thick of it and not rely so heavily on dodging and potions when he can just siphon health >:)

100

Evoker still kind of disappoints me it just doesn't feel snappy (tbf I am playing on TouchPad so that might be doing it) I've finally tried out death caller and I think I've found Rath's niche

The little eavesdropping on elgar'nan and ghila'nain tree just gave me the lucanis dialog and I gasped. I love a threat to the mc's loved ones >:)

#veilguardspoilers Rathana is largely the comedy personality with a heavy dose of direct/pissed off. Despite being a mage he will throw fists, he punched out the first warden, and started a bar fight. He wears a facade of 'we'll do what needs to be done' but on the inside is panicking

000

Roast @roastey.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I still don't love evoker...might play around with maybe just being a general elementalist... 🤔

Plot twist I went to fire and hated it back to ice but all the staff stats will be neglected--still, nice character study moment

Roast @roastey.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I will say I've never had a da game where I've had so many 'oh shit' and 'wtf' moments. Moments of panic and surprise. It's the one thing I want out of a game lol, take me by surprise

000

My proofreading skills do as well 😬

000

It is always so alarming when people call her Bell in game 😭 I have ruined that name for myself

010

I love bellara though too, lace was also a contender but the flirts just didn't sound like Rath, they made him sound out of character. Bellara's (I will never call her bel) flirts still line up though so... time will tell (it's probably lucanis, but my secondary I might try to make for bellara)

100

Idk yet who Rath will romance. Lucanis is a strong contender though, I didn't think I'd go for him because I assumed he was the suave flirty type which isn't my typical but he's not that at all..suave sure but not flirty.

100

My autocorrect falls me always 🙄

100

All of the stuff going on I'm the south--like that's a whole other game 😬 cahiral would kick ass at it though, she'd 100% tell everyone to shut the fuck up and get in line

110

A nice thematic transformation from ice to fire ((I will deeply miss frost nova though))

100

He feels like he could have saved Hector and Lorelai if someone had just fucking asked him to come back home.

100

He'll be a shadow dragon whether they want him to be or not

100

No one told him. No one thought to include him, he's just the fuck up--so him switching to spellblade reflects that fury. He's pissed at the shadow dragons, heartbroken still, yes, and he'll always be a shadow dragon, but it sure feels like they wish he wasn't.

000

He's pissed that he was so easily dismissed as trouble after the dragon. That none of the shadow dragons supported his decision, and that not a single one of them reached out to check in or even just fill him in on the situation with the venatori

200

I'm thinking he'll do a thematic shift to the spellblade. After he let minrathous defend itself he was heartbroken and bereft and felt even more like an outcast to his organization. But I'm going through minrathous post-dragon and that hearbrokenness is turning into rage

Roast @roastey.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Rath went into the evokes class because I thought it'd be more like the da2 gravity mage that I absolutely loved playing but I'm realizing I only really ever play the dagger orb style... it doesn't help that I'm on a TouchPad but I don't think it'd change with a mouse--SO

100

Let the figuring out the character commence! Played around with piercing ideas but he’s just not an ornamentation kind of person

110

Entire halves at the very least we…regularly end up neck deep in the shenanigans 😬 and yes hi! I only just made an account 😊 surprise surprise a new dragon age game gets me posting things lol

000

I want to play through all the origins at some point but I’m sure I won’t be prepared for the crow trauma 😭

000

Oh the first half of the year I listened to a lot of bel’s playlist so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised about January

000

This was definitely the year I discovered Paris Paloma

000

These are just a very silly amalgamation of words

200

Norte dame is on my top list too, I’ll need to add fluffing a duck to the ttrpg list and just play it every time bel opens his mouth

100

No frickin' wonder Rath joined the shadow dragons if he couldn't even be a part of his family in public

000

Oh my god this convo goes into your bg as an adopted kid and there's a bit you say as an elf just like...growing up in minrathous adopted by humans, when you went out with your family you were just assumed to be a servant, ignoreable, unimportant.

100

Going back to do neve's companion quest and now I'm having a conversation with tarquin that will 100% make the minrathous/treviso decision harder

100

And I fucked up and have to go back two hours of gameplay anyway so more time to ponder that decision.

100

#veilguardspoilers But Tarquin's 'you've been nothing but trouble since coming back' hurts and Ashur isn't going to make it. It's gonna be a very bad case of survivor's guilt and hindsight is 20/20 plus Neve is fucking pissed at him

000

Well, I wouldn't say torn. Knowing the outcome of both makes me think he would still choose Treviso because it's what makes sense. They have no protections and he wants to trust the shadow dragons to handle it. They've operated without him for a year just fine anyway.
