asdfghasdfs stahp
every time you say something like that it makes my face go all red irl q////3////q


but thank you! to be honest, this wasn't the pose I originally set out to draw. I'd originally had it in my head to draw her running...and then I stopped really paying attention to it for about ten seconds while I was trying to get the anatomy down
next thing I know I'm squinting at the basic shape of the body and thinking 'wait, no she is totally about to whack someone in the head with her staff'
and from then on she was no longer running xD

It means that she throws you under the bus constantly though, sorry.

I just had a thought of Lára doing some cooking, and then:
Lára: Could you watch this for a while? I put a rune on it so it won't burn, but just make sure that it doesn't boil over or anything, okay?
Beth: Sure! Doesn't sound too hard.
Later...
Lára: Stirring the food I thought I told you to watch this!
Beth: Well it didn't boil over...
Lára: But look - it's all burnt!
Beth: I thought you said it wouldn't!
Both: ..........
Lára: Nobody will notice... right?
And then people eat it and:
Person: Ugh, who made this? It's half ash!
Lára and Beth: Pointing to each other IT WAS HER FAULT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I SWEAR

So... yeah. There's blaming all over the place.  :)

I've been stalking the forum for a while, and just made my own account because I thought I'd join. Is it to late to make my own self insert?

Spoiler: show

Name: Iina Johansson
Nationality: Half Swedish(fathers side), half Finnish(mothers side)
Location: Väderöarna (islands on the Swedish west coast)
Age: 19
Immunity: yes
Languages: Swedish and Icelandic, can kinda haltingly communicate in Finnish but grammar and stuff is very hard. Has spent some time around Danish people who come from Bornholm to trade, and can decipher Danish a bit easier than most swedes
Occupation: Fisher. is technically a mage but there are no Finnish mages where she lives so she has had to try and train herself in her spare time.

Iina has lived her whole life on Väderöarna, and likes it pretty much. Needing some time for herself now and then, she can often be found sitting on the cliffs and gazing out over the endless waters.
The islands are far enough from the mainland that no trolls or Giants make it over, and the few vermin beasts on land doesn't pose that much of a danger when you're immune. Although they pose some danger when fishing, the smaller sea beasts (who were once seals) are very clumsy on land, and the large ones (once whales) are rare here and can't get up on land at all.

Iina is adventurous and wants to go exploring and uncovering the secrets of the old world, but although she has dealt with beasts on a quite frequent basis she is a bit naïve and might not understand completely how dangerous the silent world is.

She is a bit of a controll freak and a know-it-all, which can go on the nerves of other people without her realising it. Slight social awkwardness aside, she is quite smart and a quick thinker, a necessary skill to have when manoeuvring a boat in bad weather or in the case of a beast attack. She is also bookish, and will willingly plow through old tomes in search for info about the old world.

I hope this is ok?

More mages in Sweden aw yissssssssss.

YES.
Bonus:
Haiz: "What's my rune for keeping away mosquitoes doing by the cooking pot??? And why is it upside down?"
Lára: "Oh... I thought it looked a little weird for a cooking rune."
Ruth: "Sofie's doing all of the cooking from now on."
... Texas ... is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it....

I KEEP SEEING THE BLORPTROLL EVERYWHERE. Haiz, what have you done.
<3

YES.
Bonus:
Haiz: "What's my rune for keeping away mosquitoes doing by the cooking pot??? And why is it upside down?"
Lára: "Oh... I thought it looked a little weird for a cooking rune."
Ruth: "Sofie's doing all of the cooking from now on."
I'm 99% sure this is the reason Haiz carries the most rare and important runes on their pouchbelt person at ALL TIMES. i mean i needed that anti-mosquito rune come on
