I’m a healer, but... 🗡️

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

And weirdly enough you’re really good at this: making pizzas and dealing with shitty customers and breaking up fights in the parking lot and pretending to be Duncan’s cousin on the phone so the utility company doesn’t cut off the power. But running a store is a lot of work for two dumb kids, so slowly you start accumulating a bunch of competent weirdos to help out, like the nun who left her convent because god told her to help you make pizzas, and the elderly school teacher who just survived a mass shooting, and the guy the papa johns down the street hired to run you over. And really there’s no way any of this should be working as well as it is - you’re absolutely committing fraud of some kind here - but you’ve managed to dodge the landlord every time he’s stopped by, and the health inspector never shows up to tell you to stop letting your dog hang out behind the counter and you’re all still kinda looking at each other and asking ‘are we allowed to just do this?’ before shrugging again and continuing to make pizzas, until somehow, through a series of unlikely technicalities, your doofus coworker ends up on the ballot for governor.

The Siren Brides for @xyanmajor

It’s that time again for the Misthoppers Secret Strahd exchange, The Misty Tides!

I had such fun drawing the ladies as sirens! Thank you soo much for the wonderful prompts :3

So some context of what the inspiration was.

Ludmilla is based on Witcher sirens. I have a soft spot for the Witcher monsters and really wanted to incorporate some of the siren looks for there, mainly of course the wings.

Anastrasya is a lionfish. The bright colours with poison felt like appropriate choice for her. Since she is the one who uses her charm the most, I like the idea of her luring you in but the moment you touch her it is too late.

And of course last but not least,

You captured the essence of the Brides with perfection and your analysis on them is precious.
