They'll Do Anything But Be Truthful About Their Feelings.

Magister Merlin meets(?) the felled star

I little doodle I did of fujimomozane's Magister Merlin meeting/chancing upon my boy Pirin! (Chippy and Hammie are the masterminds responsible) Hopefully I did the Magister justice! (also sorry for the smudge, I tried to erase the guidelines but it just got smudged ;-;') (The 'joys' of drawing with pencil.)

Hello world!

Merlinverse Interaction Wheel Part 2

Once again, I wanted to explore interactions of our Merlins and OCs. I used different prompts this time. I couldn't add all characters, as some I simply don't know at all. T_T

Regardless, I hope you enjoy the silliness below!

Lavinia accidentally walks in to DK being nude.

xDDDD

And you know what, I even considered for a second to add "being with someone" to the prompt, slightly eyeing DK over there... and here we are. 

Anyway, realistically, nothing much happens. Lavi will utter an "excuse me" and retreat as quickly as possible. And DK seems chill with familiar people, so it won't even come up later on. It's just politely forgotten.

Lavinia has to save the a** of Starhawk.

As with any Merlin, I'd have to come up with something really silly that would result in such a situation. So how about this: Starhawk, his familiars and Lavinia move out to free Valen from some bandits. They agree on a barge in, causing a distraction and then flight procedure. They arrive at their camp, obviously they are outnumbered and they see Valen bound and gagged (he is mostly fine, though). Both Starhawk and Lavi are furious, obviously, and announce in great words their grand rescue fight. The bandits laugh, gently slap Valen's cheeks and say something like: "This prince went down so quickly, and now we have two lil' princesses and their pets attempting to rescue their sweetheart?!" 

And they drag Valen up, bend him over and make a mock-scene of a beheading to taunt the two rescuers. Lavi's ready to charge in, but Starhawk cries out and in such melodramatic posture and throws a hand to his forhead. "No, please, I am going to faint! Don't touch him!"

Again, the bandits laugh out loud, shaking Valen around. "You think we gonna give back your spy just because you--"

And with a thud Starhawk just goes down onto the ground with the most pitiful moan. That's Lavi chance, and she dashes forward to tear away Val from the bandits. But when she turns and both knights are ready to run... they realise Starhawk isn't moving. "Psst, Magister, please, we should leave." Nothing. Meanwhile, the bandits regain their composure and ready their weapons, now slowly moving in on their prey.

Lavi shakes Starhawk by they shoulders. "... he fainted for real..." Valen and Lavi stand for a second and laugh nervously. "Sure, thing, no problem, right?" And then they glance at each other before Valen does his signature move with Lavi's sword while Lavinia summons two Hypofiends behind the bandits backs. Then she drags Starhawk up to drag him away, the two furballs just running around frantically. Valen following behind. When Starhawk comes to in a safe place, Lavi stands with her face hidden in hands next to him. "That distraction was a little too real for my taste." Starhawk sees Valen next to her and shrugs. "It did work, though, right?"

Lavinia is accidentally turned into a hamster by Zelda.

xD So, after their training together, Zelda is preparing everything for a bit of relaxing pottery animal making. Lavi is sorting out past creations on the table already and the box is still filled with more. While Zelda ponders about how life as a small pottery animal must be, Lavinia bends over the box to grab something else, when suddenly.... Zelda sneezes and a large cloud of pixie dust hits Lavi. And before she can do anything about it, she coughs in a high-pitched voice, shoving another tiny pottery bear out of her way. Lavi hears Zelda's voice booming over her. "Lavinia? Where did you... go?" There is but a tiny moment of silence, before both understand. "Magister! I am here! Down in the box!" Zelda leans down to check the contents of the now fallen over box and indeed, Lavinia, as a tiny pottery hamster, waves frantically at her. Zelda is a magnificent presence even before, but NOW, those giant hands gently wrapped around her and Lavinia can't help but feel afraid for her life. "Please don't break me, Magister! Oh, please tell me you can revert his?!" Zelda is super gentle and amused and plays a little with her, pretending to think it through. She gently takes her over to the bar to show Dolly. But as cool as I think Lavinia is in real life, she's freaked out completely right now. She's squeaking and holding on to Zelda's hands for dear life. She only calms down when Zelda reassures her that she can revert the spell, but not before sitting Lavinia on a tiny sofa and giving her a tiny napkin blanket. xDDD

Lavinia has to pick a costume for Sena.

Ah, difficult. Lavi would totally want it to be not just something aesthetically matching to Sena but also have a meaning (to him or her). So anything silly is out of the question. No, it must be something regal, something divine even. Maybe there are a few Esperian famous figures that would offer themselves, like an old king of an era, one or other celestial who's ascension befits Sena's own development ... actually, maybe she might make him an Obsidian Finch. That's just my own impression but I highly respect Talene for her conviction to protect the life that the Obsidian Finches had to die for. A sense of protection and love that Sena shares. One that surpasses any faction or even the gods. However, if Lavi knew that Hogan was to dress up as a hamster, then Sena's attire would match that costume. (Chippy would be Hogan and Hammie would be ...Sena. xD)

Lavinia has to help Sena cover up an accidental corpse in the basement.

This is definitely a glitch. xD I feel like it would be super silly... like poor Philip is asking Sena, as usual, to help him with some mess in his bag and when the magister attempts to untangle the mess, he lashes out a little too forcefully and knocks Philip over, who stumbles backwards in cartoony slow-motion, to then just falls down the steepest cliff right next to Holistone's city walls and that's it. Philip dead. Everyone just stares after him, his bag falling out of Sena's hands. After a good minute or so, Lavi quietly steps up and kicks the bag after Philip. Then turns around and says: "No one saw that. What a lovely day, we should go back."

Sena, drenched in sweat, nods. Game close and restart. Hoping the bug is gone. Only to find it hasn't. Sena is melting into puddles now. Panicked he makes a backup to his registered Email address and completely removes this version of Esperia from existence. And his memory. When he returns, Philip asks him to help with the mess in his bag. Without knowing why, a dreadful shiver runs down his spine and he delays the quest until another day.

Lavinia has to entrust her kid to Rose.

I mean, ALL magisters are pretty responsible chaps but each will treat kids differently. Like, Sena's going to pamper with anything they like, Pirin is gonna drag them into fun fights and events Molpe and Vi are going to have books and story times, maybe even dolls. But Rose? I frankly don't know. I know too little about her. I feel like it should be okay, but also would NOT be surprised if there was a big catch! xDDDD

Magister Rose by @afkhowstrange

Lavinia organises a secret party for Celestino.

I am not sure why Lavinia would be chosen to do that because... honestly, she'd just go straight back to the man who knows best: Dionel. And given it's a special party for his son (with some important reason, maybe a baby-shower in light of Tempest arriving soon?) he would never say no to helping Lavi out here. Which, ultimately, means that Lavi won't be doing much at all. xDDDD Are they gonna be successful in keeping it a secret though? Ah, I bet they could. If Valen plays his part and Dionel manages to shrug off any suspicion, then... no problem. ;-)

Happy intersex awareness day!

Intersex awareness day is really special to me--for years it felt like October 26th was the only time I ever saw intersex mentioned, and it became a really meaningful time to look forward to every year. Even now, when I have a lot more intersex community in my life, it's powerful to celebrate our activism, solidarity, and joy.

One of my favorite moments of intersex joy this year was going on a retreat with other intersex people and just feeling more seen and known then I ever had in my life, and learning all the beautiful ways we're celebrating our intersex lives all over the country. Another moment of intersex joy was successfully defending my thesis on intersex and disability topics, and being able to really start building that solidarity and connections.

What brought you intersex joy this year, whether it's big moments or small? What's your favorite part of intersex community? How do you celebrate intersex identity?

feel free to add on in the reblogs 💜💜💜

AFK Journey [Manga] Anthology

I actually forgot to announce this, but: I've begun uploading all my AFKJ (mini) manga to Tapas! It's called "AFK Journey Anthology".

I'll keep updating it, so check it out if you want to read all that I've created so far without interruptions.
