🗻Intro post!🖌️

Hi, I'm Fuji Momozane/桃実富士 (he/him). I'm a manga/comic artist and writer from Kyiv, Ukraine. My debut manga, Dim Bisa, is out now💫 I like vampires, ukrainian mythology, bones, and moths. When not drawing I am scuttering in the woods in search of mavkas. I'm currently obsessing over AFK Journey and The Ancient Magus' Bride!

PS: you can draw any of my characters! You don't have to ask. Just be decent and tag me so I can see. And if you have any questions about them, feel free to ask :)

Captain Sinbad on his way back to Rustport.

I've posted a new fanfiction to ao3! "The Fall Festival Fable", where Magister Merlin Starhawk gets a letter from Sinbad inviting him to Rustport to find out what the "Fall Festival" is, and Valen tags along for the impromptu vacation. Shenanigans ensue, causing chaos in Rustport and making Merlin question his mysterious past.

It's based on the Fall Harvest event that happened a while back, perfect for those who wanted for it to go more in depth, or for those who missed it entirely. It's also full of lore for Starhawk.

The work is finished, and every day two chapters will be posted until Sunday where I will post the final chapter! I'll also be posting an illustration (or two) for the fanfic soon.

(A small sneak peek at the first illustration)

Magister Merlin Starhawk Info

Magister Merlin Starhawk, aka Merlin, Starhawk, Mage of the Stars, Starry Mage, a lazy bum who forgets to bring mugs out of his room, The Godfather of Magic, among others, is a half-treesprite half-human mage who was born in 200 B.H.W (Before the Hypogean War). 

  He is renowned as the discoverer of magic in around 190 B.H.W, having discovered healing magic by saving his hamster, Hammie, from near death- she later became the first-ever familiar. It is said that Dura herself granted him the key to unlock magic as a mortal. 

  He discovered almost all types of magic, including transformation spells by turning into a starhawk, and glamour spells by binding his chest. 

  He participated in the Hypogean-Celestial War of 1 A.H.W. (After the Hypogean War). It was rumored that he had become a Celestial. 

  After centuries of critical research in magic, astronomy, alchemy, potions, and natural sciences, Magister Merlin Starhawk disappeared in the 15th century A.H.W., often called "The Fall" of the mage, in keeping with the star theme. 

  He first reappeared in 17th century A.H.W., disappeared again, and did so a second time. The legends about the mage continued to spread across the world. 

  The third time, he appeared in the current year 1824 A.H.W. without his memories. He is slowly regaining them, but some are out of reach, as though they are locked away. 

  Hammie knows only that he has been "restarted" thrice, where he was the times he vanished is a mystery to everyone. Not much changed with each restart. 

  But by the third restart, his horns were reduced to nearly imperceptible buds that grow when he finds out more about his past, and binds were placed to keep his incredibly strong magic at bay. 

  Merlin will recover his memories no matter what they might reveal and meet new people along the way. 

  Hopefully, they will steer him clear of repeating his Fall. 

  Relationships: Talene (ex-best friend), Dionel (ex-friend), Hypogeans (enemies), Hammie & Chippy (familiars), Dolly (house caretaker), Lady Illucia (???), Cecia (???), General Hogan (a friend from his second restart), Mirael (student from his second restart), Valen (good friend), Rowan (like a niece to him), Lyca (astronomy friend), Cassade (biggest fan), Bryon (bird man and friend), Soren & Alsa (friends), Silverbeak (minion), Satrana (divination expert), Sinbad (good friend), Hugin (engineering buddy), Sonja & Lucca (intimidating friends), Tasi (friend), Bols (fishing expert). 

Posted this so people have some info on Merlin before I post any fanfics, in case someone is curious or doesn't want to read future ff to get info on him. Bonus random facts I couldn't fit in properly below cut:

  Bonus random facts I couldn't fit in properly but will probably be covered in future fanfic: He's 165cm tall.  He's a vegetarian because he feels bad for animals. He faints... a lot. He's trans and intersex. Collects minerals and watches, and he is obsessed with birds and hamsters. His identity as treesprite-human has been lost over the ages so he hides his ears and horn stubs (which seem to be slowly growing as he regains his memories?) Has an enchanted hat that he seldom takes off. Has a lot of nightmares. Has endless pseudonyms, his latest being "Vulpin" (because he saw a drawing of a fox on a building) upon introduction to Valen. Eventually Valen finds out about the charade though.

Ironically, he has poor long-range vision (about -1 in each eye, but the right sees worse).  Has a penchant for extravagant outfits.  The two golden bands around his hair don't come off.   He went grey at the ripe old age of... 20. His original hair color was bronze, and he wanted to keep his brows dark even after he turned grey, but the spell went awry and now they are permanently jet black along with his lashes. 

  His eyes have always been yellow- a gift from Misarte, according to the wilders.   His mother was a treesprite musician from Vaduso, and his father was an human ex-sailor and merchant from Holistone. His mother was 210 centimeters tall (without her horns, mind you) and his father was 180 centimeters tall. Neither were short, but Merlin is the outlier in terms of height in his family. His grandmothers always blamed it on him not eating enough. He thinks he just lucked out.

The Fall Festival Fable

  "If I ruin my makeup right now, I blame it on you." Merlin tipped his head back, his fingers curling into Sinbad's hand. 

  Leave it up to Merlin to care about his makeup first, and feelings second.

  ["Valen, please, who hurt you to this degree? You are a few drinks away from being whisked away by Dionel. Into the underworld." Merlin shook Valen by the shoulder, growing increasingly serious when Valen didn't respond.

  "Who hurt me was... me." 

  It was good he was responsive, but that was a bloody stupid response.]
