A man who helped return a 140-year-old Tlingit robe to the British Columbia First Nation where it was created says it’s as if the regalia called out to its people and they are bringing it home. The intricately woven Chilkat robe, made of mountain goat wool and yellow cedar bark, was purchased by the Taku River Tlingit First Nation in northwestern B.C. for almost $40,000 after it went up for sale online by a Toronto-based auction house last year. The robe arrived in Whitehorse Wednesday and will travel 175 kilometres south to the First Nation’s traditional territory in Atlin, B.C., where it’s expected to go on display and may be used in future ceremonies. While the community celebrates the return of a piece of its heritage, the First Nation said Indigenous people should not be forced to buy back regalia that was stolen from them. [...]

Thank you so mush @greypetrel and @raflesia65 for tagging me this week! Love you guys and your incredible works!

I am late because I couldn't decide on a writing WIP this week and technically I've been working on the confession render painting postwork. But I also really wanted to do more with the Atton Lost AU because I'm really fond of the little domestic fluff I did write for them. Really just worked on the posing and camera angles today. I have to make some decisions on decor yet for their temporary home.

What do you guys think of the cybernetics for Atton? I'm not sure just how advanced they were 4000 years before Anakin and Luke, but Bao-Dur's custom is pretty awesome and Sion's seemed nearly as good as Anakin's. Neither had the synthetic skin like Luke's so I'm thinking this is appropriate?

The sound of the door sliding open alerts him to his companion's entrance.  “Good morning, oh great Jedi Master Nasan,” he quips as Kartaelin enters the room, stopping for a moment to salute him. “Good morning, love,” he answers back as he ascends the stairs to join him.  After meditation sessions, the Sephi typically exudes calm just as he does today.  His calming energy brings a bit of that inner peace back to Atton as he approaches.  Kartaelin slides his hand lovingly across his back and kisses him as he comes to stand beside him.  He can taste the bittersweet notes of caf on his lips and smiles into it. Atton reciprocates, leaning toward him and basking in his warmth.  The moment is gone in an instant and Kartaelin moves toward the window to look out to the sunrise, fingers trailing down Atton's arm to squeeze his hand and hold it loosely in invitation to join him.  As Atton's hand falls from his grip, he takes one more drink of caf and gives his arm a quick scratch before joining him.  Kartaelin glances at him from the corner of his eye, hands held together behind him and a radiant smile on his face.  Atton places his elbow on his shoulder and leans on him, “So, what's on the agenda today, besides the obvious?”

Jumping on @elderglocks open tag because the incorrect quote generator is killing me. Lol

Have some Atlin 💕

Kartaelin : What’s your body count?

Atton: Do you mean sex or murder?

Kartaelin : *watching the squad's shenanigans with concern* Do you feel like this has gotten out of hand?

Atton: I don't know. Feels normal enough for a group that's on 911's blocked callers list.

Atton: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Kartaelin: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.

Atton: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??

Kartaelin: Is it working?

Atton: We’re getting married, bitches!

Kartaelin: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem.

Thank you @lllchiaroscurolll for tagging me! Check out this lovely character mod they're working on for a new OC!

I've been working on renders to go with this written scene I shared a few weeks ago. I still haven't decided on a main camera angle for it so have several in the running.

I think my favorite angle so far is the one over Atton's shoulder because it emphasizes how close they are, the sexual tension but also Kartaelin's tenderness.

I was tagged last week by @brother-genitivi for WIP Wednesday. Thank you so much! 😘💕 Your Mass Effect WIP was soooo good!

Since I'm not sure I will get this done in time for Valentine's Day tomorrow, I'll share a WIP now. Some soft domestic fluff set several years after an alternate Atton lost ending where the Exile manages to save him and come back to him after rescuing Revan.

“Are you okay?” Kartaelin’s kind voice says softly in his ear. Atton nods, “Why wouldn't I be?” “The look on your face,” he replies, reaching around to run his fingers along his jaw. “Am I hurting you? Just tell me if you need me to stop.” Atton sends his love through the bond, the warm feeling in his chest brought on by his partner's loving care, “No. It feels really good actually. Keep going. I just… I should probably let you help me with this more often, is all.”
