Midoans are generally about as un-threatening as a species can get. They're tall and typically gangly (with the odd exception) and don't really pose much challenge in the way of strength. What they do have going for them, however, is uncanny ability to pull some horrible faces which by proxy reveal some decently scary teeth. (Teeth that I somehow failed to adequately depict here. Until I manage to...

I hated this prompt because I felt certain they meant 'Quirk' as in BNHA, but for the life of me I just couldn't come up with one for her that I liked. Which is stupid because quirks can almost literally be anything in the world, but I guess I'll chalk that up to a general lack of creativity on my part lately.
At any rate, I guess one of the bigger quirks in Vin's personality is that she thi...

Vin doesn't really have a choice in what her "favorite" footwear is. She has one pair of boots. One. That's it. They're old, they're leather, and she treats them like she would her own child because they're precious to her.
Yeah, they're beaten up. Yeah, she's replaced the hook-and-loop tape in the straps probably a hundred times. But she's had them ever since her feet stopped growing because wh...

Happy Saturday, all!
I know this has been a long time in coming, but this Monday I'll be rolling Discord rewards into all tiers $3 and up. I still have to do some housekeeping which entails setting up roles, establishing rules, and getting a bot set up. But once that's done I'll go ahead and activate those rewards on here.
The basic gist of the tiers will be as follows:

Okay, so, uh. I don't really have a lot to say about this one.
I don't consume a lot of media. I don't know what I like, or what characters I love, even. I just can't call them into my memory for some reason and it pisses me off. So, TV/movie characters are just kind of out of my wheelhouse.
I do like comics, though. And I do remember Red Monika. Battle Chasers wa...

I'm doing a stupid thing, guys.
A very stupid thing.
But it's a thing I've wanted to do pretty much since Voltron: Legendary Defender began but I've been too damned chicken to try.
Some details will go public Monday, but the long and short of it is: I'm doing a Sendak zine. I'm just hoping I don't fuck it up.
For now, here's the emblem I want to put on the cover/use for promotion.

As I've mentioned in pieces past, Vin and Talon don't exactly have the most communicative relationship. They mostly prefer to do their own thing, and show their caring through actions rather than through speech. But that doesn't mean they don't have moments where they open up to each other a little bit.
More often than not, those moments boil down to finding a rooftop somewhere and sitting for a...

"Not you."
Vin gawked openly at the shadowed face beneath the hood, for the first time visible without the mask that Talon held—broken—in his hand. Out of all the people in all the universe, billions upon billions of possibilities, she felt her blood freeze at the sight of the one person she professed to hate more than any other in existence. The true identity of one she'd grown...

Honestly, there's not really all that much to tell about this one. Vin sleeps in a hammock, and usually curls herself up about as tight as she can get herself. Sometimes she just leaves her hair done up, other times she lets it all out. It just depends on how warm she wants to stay at night.
It kind of looks like I only gave her three fingers there but I promise you there's a fourth.

Vin hasn't got a lot of vices, but one thing she really enjoys is gambling. Card games, dice, you name it. She considers herself especially lucky, so if she has a chance to test that, she's going to, especially if there's something on the line. That unfortunately amounts to simple snacks most of the time, but that doesn't make it any less fun.
I should have sorted the stuff on the table...

Things like festivals are typically considered passé to individuals of Vin's age. They're more a thing for children or elders, not young adults who have far better things to do with their time.
However, despite being made fun of for it, Vin takes great joy in attending the Solstice festival—an event held each year at the exact ...

Vin loves plants. A lot. Even though she's surrounded by them 24/7 outside she still has a room full of them. Most of them possess medicinal properties, which she uses to brew her potions. But some, she cultivates just for their looks, and once in a while she'll add a little magical flourish to them, to beautify her environs just a little bit more.

The hair and fur on the average Midoan's body is particularly bushy, kind of like that of a Troll doll. However it gets mussed during the night, that's how it stays until it's brushed out and either braided, or otherwise tied up just to keep it out of the way. Most keep theirs cut short simply for the sake of convenience, but Vin chose to let hers grow out because she just happens to like ho...

Vin... doesn't really have a favorite genre of music? She mostly likes to listen to radio plays broadcast from the nearest city. If I had to pick, though, I figure she'd be into retrowave or classic rock or something. That, or the kind of ambient stuff you listen to when you really want to concentrate on something.

Vin wasn't ever one to heed advice about dark alleys, probably because they didn't have alleys where she grew up. So when she found herself in Neo Shousis*, of course one of the first things she did was end up, cold, and holed up behind a dumpster in one of its darkest, seediest alleyways, homeless and far from any sort of support.

Vin has a lot of respect for Nena, but it's doubtful that she'll ever become the sweater-knitting kind of granny. She's very much the get-off-my-lawn sort.

Vin prefers solitude over a crowd, of that there's no doubt. But despite this, her greatest fear of all is the possibility of losing her connection to the people she cares about, and to the world on which she lives.

With all the climbing Vin has to do on an average day, she tries to travel light. Carry only the essentials. You know, the kind of stuff that any self-respecting lady keeps in her satchel:
A bottle of water.
Candies her elderly friend gave her that she'll never eat.
Pocket radio.
Vine rope.
Stolen pistol.
Bullets. Lots of bullets.
Wadded papers with vital information th...

Ever since she was a kid, Vin's room had always been her favorite place in all the world. It wasn't a large space, mostly cluttered with plants and tattered books that she'd already read a hundred times and more. But even in that tight space, she liked nothing more than to curl up in her rickety hammock and look up at the collection of bottles her mother had hung from the ceiling for her. Th...

The forest floor was always a place that could prove quite deadly for children who were long on curiosity and a bit short on self-preservation. It was a rare treat for Vin to get to go down there with her mother, and her favorite was always when she got to go right after it had rained, when there were still fresh puddles on the ground for her to play in. Ganna wasn't a fan of having to lug a soggy...

Nena isn't really a squad so much, but she is the one person who Vin likes to hang around with more than anyone. Maybe it's how she radiates a sort of toasty, mellow aura like any good granny. Or maybe it's the fact that she knits really nice sweaters. Whatever the case, outside of her own mother, Nena is the person whose company Vin values more than her solitude, ...

They're only something that gets cooked around the wet season solstice, but Vin absolutely lives for muka dumplings. They're a simplistic dish made from a thin, doughy skin and various minced nuts and spices, sort of like a mincemeat pie without the meat part. The best ones are made by one of her neighbors—perfectly chewy, and practically the size of a fist. She'd eat them year...

There's a lot of things that Vin enjoys doing with her time. She's a tinkerer by nature, so a lot of her free time is spent fiddling with her meager collection of guns. But what she adores more than anything, is to read. She prefers nonfiction—history books, especially. They're hard to come by in her village, though, given that they don't exactly have access to print technology up in the trees. ...
