Lilacstarshine6 - Periwinkle And Lilac Oh My

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.

heads up, little bit of blood in this one

One of these days, when I tell myself I’m not going to do any wild shading experiments with this comic, I’ll be telling the truth.

The indoor lighting didn’t turn out quite how I wanted, made the noble’s skin turn out a lot more jaundiced than I imagined. I really like the outdoor lighting tho.

Coming up with the alternate lyrics was actually a ton of fun. Maybe I’ll write the whole thing in a separate post. Enjoy!

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

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.

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates

are these all different things and if so what do you call them

talon but he has heterochromia . based on the fact his eye colour changes in every piece of media he appears in.

i love you
