AshbornIslet | Dark Fantasy Universe

🐉 Dark legends of the isle of Tolath: betrayal, dragons, the price of power, vengeance, and redemption. No promised happy endings. Only tragedy, blood, and sheer willpower. 🐉

Central story: Tramadir — the cursed elven warrior, his sister Llorana, and the orcish Garra. YA/mature themes (blood, violence, but no explicit sex in the main arcs).

Side legends: - The Legend of Eyri (completed) — a young elf transformed into a dragon and betrayed by his king. - Tariel (ongoing) — continuation of the saga.

Where to read/view: • The Legend of Eyri at GlobalComix • The Legend of Eyri at Webtoon • Patreon (explicit bonuses, Gair’s POV, dark BL elements) • AO3: BL novel Never Echoes Back • Art & animations: right here on Tumblr (search by #tramadir #eyri #ashbornislet #neverechoesback)

I’ve been a professional 2D animator for 15 years — that’s my core skill and what keeps the bills paid. In my day job, I work on other people’s projects where layouts, character designs, and key art are handled by full teams — I’m part of the machine, not the sole creator. For my own passion project — the Ashborn Islet universe — I do whatever it takes to get the stories out fast: - Art for comics is generated with Midjourney as a starting point — and then I refining everything in Photoshop. - Tracing / redrawing over photos, references, or existing images to nail the exact framing, pose, mood, and style I want. - Sometimes drawing from scratch when I feel like it. - Mixing all methods as needed — no “pure traditional artist” rules or pretensions here. I’m not claiming to be a master illustrator or that every line comes straight from my hand without help. I’m a storyteller first: Tramadir, Llorana, Garra, Eyri, Tariel, Rem, Gair — the characters, plots, emotions, world-building, themes — that’s all 100% mine. The visuals are tools, not the art form itself.

Producers said it plain: no audience = no funding for YA animated series. So I’m growing followers first, piece by piece.

This is my dream. I hope you’ll like Tramadir, Llorana, Garra and the rest — they mean a lot to me. Without people who care and help spread the word, none of this will ever become real. If it resonates — reblog, comment, stay. It changes everything 🤍

Dark legends of the isle Tolath

First official post for my dark fantasy novel — Tramadir! Ladies first, always. My heroines take up just as much of this story as Tramadir himself.

⚔️ Meet Garra! ⚔️

I can’t believe we’re already 10 chapters deep into the Ashborn universe. My first BL novel is nearing its middle, and my heart is doing backflips.

Rem finally returns to Gair's office, ready to rewrite the memory that still haunts him. After days of hesitation, flinches, and avoidance he steps through the door. Slow, careful reclaiming begins.

Mature BL / original fiction

If you’re new here — welcome! This is a dark, slow-burn original BL about a cold-blooded prince and a ruthless gang leader in a world of dragons, magic, and brutal court politics. It’s messy, it’s intense, and it’s far from over.

In the aftermath of a boundary crossed, Rem drifts through numb days and restless nights, unsure of where his fear ends and his desire begins. This chapter follows the quiet fallout — memory, avoidance, anger — and a conversation that begins to shift how he understands control, guilt, and the word "No".

The kind of chapter where nothing “big” happens, but everything shifts a little.

Victory night. Velvet corridors. A hand on his back that promises everything. Rem follows. Behind the door waits not fantasy, but revelation — the kind that shatters illusions and forces him to face who he truly is.

Content Warning: Attempted non-consensual sexual situation (coercion + ignored "no"). No completed rape on page, but the scene may be triggering. Please take care

Hey ♡

I’m so happy to share that Chapter 7 of my original story is finally finished! Completing things is my biggest challenge with ADHD, so I’m really proud of this update. The chapters are getting longer and more emotionally complex, and even though it takes a lot out of me, I love seeing where this journey is going.

CHAPTER 7 on AO3

Rem discovers that while power and risk are heady, they aren't always enough to fill the hollow.

My art schedule is officially a mess, haha. 😅 Here is a little piece for Chapter 1! I’m still experimenting with character designs and trying to capture the exact look of my boys.

If you’re new here — welcome! This is a dark, slow-burn original BL about an ice-cold prince (heir to the royal inquisitor) and a ruthless rising crime lord in a world of rhythm magic, dragons, and brutal court politics where one misstep means death. Rem was raised to be perfect. Gair was raised to survive. Their forbidden attraction is messy, intense, and far from over.

After the sober night that flipped his whole world, Rem is still searching for something safe, so he turns to his own circle. Lirian has been giving signals for years — golden, laughing, always too close. Rem thinks: maybe this is safer. Maybe this won't hurt. It starts hopeful… but where it ends? That's a story best read in full on AO3.

These chapters go dark (attempted non-con, consent violation, trauma aftermath in 8–10), so please mind the tags and take care of yourselves.

This update is a big one — I’m dropping some seriously long chapters this time (we’re talking 2,5-3k words each, compared to the 800-word bites before). It’s new territory for me, and I’m both excited and a little nervous sharing them!

Chapter 5 is a real turning point for Rem:

In 5, he finally figures out who he's really into.

6 and 7 are his first (awkward, sweet, messy) tries with guys his age.

8-10 dive into a much rougher experience with an older man — it doesn’t go well.

Content warning: Chapters 8-10 contain attempted non-consensual sexual situations (coercion, ignored boundaries, emotional manipulation — no on-page rape, but it's heavy). If that’s tough for you, feel free to skip or DM me for a summary. I’ve got you.

And as a little New Year gift for all elf-boy lovers — I’m attaching a fresh portrait of our favourite ice prince (work in progress).

Thank you for sticking with me through this slower, deeper arc. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well and that you had a wonderful Christmas! I just posted a new update for my first novel Never Echoes Back. I’m still finding my voice as a writer, and every chapter feels like a tiny leap of faith.

In this one, Rem dives deep into the most terrifying territory of all: himself. He’s finally starting to understand why "perfect heiresses" and "noble brides" never made sense to him. It’s a messy but honest exploration of his orientation.

I’m still very much a beginner in the world of Explicit Elven romance storytelling (and even more of a newbie on Tumblr!). I’m learning how to build this dark universe and how to write these complex, "cold" characters like Rem.

I honestly don't know how everything works here yet — what tags to use or how to find my people. So if you have any advice, or if you just want to say hi, I’d be beyond happy to hear from you! 🖤

Feedback is what keeps me going, so feel free to share your thoughts. Every comment is a treasure for me.
