can we pls pls pls hear more about the keeper and the selkie??
Ahhhhh traveler, thank you for summoning me from the slump I've been in!
While I have little to offer for an update, I can share a few more details about the lake house keeper and his mythical sweetheart.
Details under the cut.
The Story
Takes place in Ireland in the early 90s.
An episodic tale (or tickle literature) with a mix of fluffy tickle scenes, romance and an overarching plot.
Themes include romance, humor, mental illness, hurt/comfort and coming-of-age.
The Keeper
Colin is the name I've given to the Keeper, he's an Irish American in his late 20s.
Before moving to Ireland to take over his late grandfather's lakeside homestead, he was a photographer in San Francisco.
He has strawberry blonde hair.
He is soft-spoken and an ambivert. His studio back home was his sacred space.
His father was a handyman, so he is good with carpentry, house maintenance and the like. His grandfather's cabin is the perfect place for him to be.
And as mentioned in the introduction, he is definitely ticklish. Which is a point of fascination for the Grey One.
The Grey One
Ash is the name Colin has given the Grey One, since the selkie withheld his name but offered to be called whatever his new companion wished.
In this world, selkies have about the same lifespan as humans so he's in his late 20s/early 30s.
He is the last of his herd on the lake and was familiar with Colin's grandfather to some extent (haven't decided how much yet).
He can speak the language of the fey as well as traditional Irish and English.
He is a grey seal.
He prefers to wear his skin around his shoulders but is mindful of human culture and will wear it around his waist if he isn't clothed most of the time around Colin.
Ash is also ticklish, but prefers to be the ler and not the lee.
Thank you for your curiosity, traveler. I hope this satisfies for now~

Individually, not all once. Unless that's your thing 🤭
hi Nonnie!!
And thanks for letting me tackle it individually, because all at once is definitely NOT my thing lolol
anyway, lemme get to it
HARD PASS. I never appreciated Edward tbh, am quite guilty of that (and the fact that he is blond doesn't play in his favour, am sorry. I am not partial to blond men) so for me, he is a pass.
EHHHHH PASS
Not as a hard pass as Edward, but Haytham is not someone I would smash tbh (considering that I always put Haytham in the same sentence as Shay, and my heart belongs to Shay Cormac until the end of time lolol)
SMASH.
Ratonhnhaké:ton is a sweetheart, and while he is not one of my most favourite among the AC protagonists (I had an oc created for him a long time ago, but it never evolved into anything substatial lololol), he is still a SOLID 10.
SO SMASH THAT BUTTON.
thanks for the ask,Nonnie <3
I was not expecting the Kenways to be sent my ways, but it was pleasant to answer this! <3
are you doing charlastor week? no pressure i just like your art
Hi Nonnie, thanks for the ask!
I was not even aware that it was Charlastor week tbh 😅😅 But while I would love to participate, I am terrible at keeping track on this kind of events (have been trying for years with Mermay, never managed to keep the pace because IRL lolol).
So, I don't think I will participate in it, at least not for the time being lol
But I am truly happy to know that you like my artworks of Charlastor, so I will still work on drawing more of them (those two hold my life at this point, the brainrot needs to be appeased).
Um... Hi!!! Your main blog has no ask me anything button there so I'm asking here. You are looking for a FC for Alejandra and by the looks you created in your last art, it reminds me of the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander when she was in the role of Lara Croft. I don't know, maybeeeee her?
I'll see myself out!!! Best of luck and keep drawing, you're amazing.
Hi Nonnie <3
Thanks for actually telling me this, I forgot that I had my asks turn off on my main. Lemme rectify this.
Also, thanks for this suggestion, I actually went and look for Alicia, and I can definitely see some resemblance with Alejandra, *especially* as Lara.
So thank you for taking the time to suggest her to me and for your kind words <3
I will definitely keep drawing as soon as I have a smidge of time to spare, because I have been drowning in CoD lately, and I honestly need to draw more badass stuff for Alejandra and Price (though, I am still pondering if to post here on my sideblog, so we shall see about that).

critic: what’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received about writing?Well. I went to a writing school, so I have a whole bunch of writing stuff I’ve internalized over those years, that I really can’t sort of separate from the whole experience of being there. But getting that constant feedback from teacher / other students was really important in starting to notice my own pitfalls and places I was good at, because ofc when you’re a preteen who always gets that A+ on all the writing assignments at school is really easy to be like “I’m the greatest!” (altho that is not bad per se, gotta get that confidence from somewhere :P)Technically the most important piece of writing advice has been sort of internalizing that “said” and character names become sort of silent, so repeating them is a-ok, and can help to keep the flow of the story intact. Not actually sure how much of that is relevant to writing in Finnish, since repeating names is often required because no gendered pronouns.In terms of keeping my passion up, a lot of of it has to do with allowances. Being allowed to take time off from writing, being allowed to be self-indulgent in language and plot. Also a lot of dispelling that creative genius stuff, like I am allowed to plan and consciously work on themes and motifs in my stories and they don’t have to sprung fully formed from my subconscious or whatever. Having been able to change my outlook to writing as a craft has made learning to be better and noticing where I have room for improvement a lot easier. So I guess that’s a good starting point.
*boops your nose* send this to ten blogs you think are lovely and deserve a boop on the nose😊🫵💚
THANK YOU DEAREST GIULIETTA <3 <3
