Recently "cured" Our Fated Ally, So Made An Updated V2 Stella

I LOVE GIRLS WHO ARE LEFT IN THE STORY AS WHISPERS I LOVE GIRLS WHO HAVE LEFT AN IMPRINT ON THE STORY OF WHERE THERE SHOULD BE A PERSON I LOVE GIRLS WHO LEAVE AN IMPACT ON OTHERS I LIKE GIRLS WITH THE "SHE COULD LIGHT UP A ROOM" SYNDROME I LOVE GIRLS WHO WERE IDOLIZED AND TREATED AS SAINTS AFTER THEIR DEATHS EVEN THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST AS HUMAN GIRLS WHO FUCKED UP JUST AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE YET ARE FORGIVEN GIRLS WHO HAVE LIVED ON THROUGH MEMORY AND THEREFORE WERE CHANGED BY MEMORY I LOVE GIRLS WHO HAUNT THE NARRATIVE

I have always and will continue to support vampire hunter's personal crimes and skewed ethics. Their war crimes are THEIR business. I will NOT stop at apologism, I am a defender and active promoter of vampire hunter's dubious morality. I am not better than this nor am I above things.

WAIT i can talk about secret character lore bc none of party is on tumblr

one thing i Do Think About is that roma's big backstory secret is tl;dr that he was a cannibal for a little while, like hunting and killing actual people, and then VR saved him and he stopped being a cannibal and awful person bc the rescue was so affecting, but recently the party came across a diary where VR was talking about. killing All The Vistani bc he was aggrieved over his dead son and inwardly roma was like :) you're not allowed to do this and then yelled at vr to not do this

but if there ever came a point where VR didn't back down on doing that i imagine that roma would spiral So Hard... like mileage may vary but roma would do his best to Be The Monster Van Richten Told Him Not To Be

girl help i unknowingly gave away a small but very human part of myself in exchange for immeasurable power

latest ez design!!! wanted to do a small update (mostly expression practice and deciding that i, in fact, Do want her to have swallowtails)

The methods we employ…

The quote is from Dracula - it felt appropriate. Also I decided that vampire hunters are really cool, actually.

I love many things about this character, in case it wasn’t obvious, but here’s a couple. I love how (barring player interference) she decides to straight up solo the final dungeon in the middle of the module as written, barely escapes with her life, and lies low for all of 5 seconds before coming up with a new approach. I love her actually pretty cool trap idea featuring a magic circle in an abbey on the other side of the map from the evil vampire lord castle HQ. I love how they choose to phrase her flaw every time she’s featured in a book, as she is a fascinating combo of brash and reckless and hyper-prepared and ridiculously competent.

I love who she chooses to be and what she chooses to do in the face of living in a setting/plane of existence which is ultimately doomed and damned and damning and dark in a very particular way (but this is a trope I’m a sucker for generally, see: my url). Could all her efforts be considered futile? The answer is a resounding no, never.

I love how in a module absolutely overflowing with wizard-y statblocks for some reason (including the big bad himself), Ez stands out as the only one who doesn’t go for the default fireball spam but instead zaps people with lightning bolts. Absolutely iconic.

The way you get good at art is drawing the same character over and over again, right? These things take forever for me, but I do have one more WIP, very zappy, still early super rough days, under the cut.

Keep reading

is this all you wanted? is this everything you hoped it would be?
