There's Not A Day I Dont Think About If We Got Venusaur But It's Eyes Are Different And It Still Has

Hi i saw a friend of mine do art of ur wiz ocs and kindly i wpuld love to hear more about them. Nonhuman ocs in wiz r so fun

OMG YAAAAAY i love talking about my ocs so bad ..... WAHH. prepare for a long yap sesh

More art of them from last(?) year's art fight by my friend @mister-geuse <3 ily tutt

I love Insaf and Rund they're my little guys im so glad so many people like them too 😭 when i make ocs for media i like to try and explore things that help to flesh out the world more and wizzy has SO many nonhuman peoples and there's just so much you can do ... no shade to people with human ocs of course. but personally i like exploring different things with each character i make

Krokotopia is one of my favorite worlds because i'm old and i like lizard people. it isnt without criticism (LOTS of criticism) though. i dont think ive ever seen another mander oc before (although i havent looked *that* hard, theres probably some out there!) so they were my go-to when making an oc from that world.

Insaf loves history! especially the history of magic in her world. she's often frustrated after she comes to wizard city and the library doesn't have much information on krokotopia's history, let alone things about her culture or anything before the krok dynasties came to power. after being Alhazred's student, she finds Arthur Wethersfield's teaching suuuuper lackluster in comparison. she corrects things he says about Balance magic in her mind. Insaf would be an "um, actually" girl if she wasn't nerfed with a severe anxiety disorder LMAO

she's actually really easy to anger but is just so adept at bottling it that she never shows it. this girl wants to rage so badly. magic is her outlet. she's a bit of a wildcard during duels since shes small and unassuming but VERY quickly becomes very aggressive with lots of offensive spells. she got a broomstick when she moved to wizard city but sucks at riding it and is pretty embarrassed about it (her tail throws her off-balance). she also has a pet chameleon in her dorm! its name is Sheba.

Now for Rund. i love birds and dinosaurs and corvids so a raven was a must-have for me as an oc. also its fun to put your characters through the horrors (ie a cult) and Rund definitely gets the brunt of it lmao. i haven't really ever made a character dealing with amnesia because its such a cheap plot cliché and its never done accurately to how amnesia actually works as like. a nuerological condition. so with Rund i've been really researching how it actually works so that i can portray it well.

amnesia is still not very well understood because the brain is so silly and complicated but if i were to label her with something it'd be pure retrograde amnesia. after her head injury, she can't really remember much at all about herself, and isn't familiar with ravenscar or anyone there. she CAN remember how to use runes, though, and other "muscle-memory" things. after she's sent to wizard city to recover, she starts getting some memories back over time (mostly information she got while reading, and some personal details) but memories specifically retaining to the Coven are much harder for her to remember.

Rund is also autistic (both she and Insaf are) and has some other underlying conditions that were exacerbated by both her head injury and the traumatic stress she was under. she has both motor and vocal tics, and doesn't speak much outside of echoalia. she's very easily overwhelmed so she sticks to less crowded and quieter places, which are hard to find in wizard city ... its why she and insaf hang out by the death school LMAO. no one else is ever there.

Rund uses runestones instead of a spelldeck, just like a lot of people in Grizzleheim traditionally do. she likes to shake the bag and hear them clinking together. her mount is a Death Vortex, and i rationalize it as like ... her turning into a cloud to zip around (usually so she can get on top of something and perch up there). she likes having her hood up so she can block out stimuli. Rund knows people look at her differently, which is part of why she avoids most people. she doesn't really know how to feel about being sent to Ravenwood, but supposes its better than the alternative ... though she misses Grizzleheim's snow.

Rund and Insaf met when they were assigned partner on a death class project. neither of them really had friends before that at ravenwood. Insaf doesn't expect anything of Rund or judge her for things she can't control. Likewise, Rund doesn't judge Insaf for having "unsightly" feelings, and can relate to it. they both like yapping about magic and history, and take turns talking at eachother. they have library dates where they go and point out flaws in the literature (hater activity). they're their own best company.

Duna had some... choice words for this book.

Duna's Rant:

What the hell are they even talking about? I mean seriously this is the most incorrect rubbish I’ve ever seen. Don’t they know that biology doesn’t even work that way. I mean honestly, dinosaurs are a very diverse group of reptiles, but that doesn’t mean all prehistoric reptiles were dinosaurs. Hell, all modern day reptiles are not considered dinosaurs. If you want to really be technical birds are considered dinosaurs, but beyond that you really have to think about convergent evolution. You know what, it’s fine. I’m fine. Were just gonna ignore the fact that this author aparently also thinks that Velociraptors aparently used pack tactics when hunting. This is clearly a remnant of that movie you have shown me what was it called? Triassic Park? The one with that Jeff guy in it. And since we’re on that topic now I can’t believe there were no feathers on their dromaeosaurids. For the record yes I am aware of how you have informed me that human knowledge of prehistoric creatures was extremely primative in the human years of the 1990s, however this does not excuse the pure fact that the Velociraptors in these awful movies were actually Deinonychus. What was i saying? Oh right, this book. Look at this they really put Dimetrodon in with the rest of the dinosaurs. Even though, Dimetrodon is a synapsid and not a diapsid. Which actually means that Dimetrodon is more closely related to your species of human than dinosaurs. I cannot believe it. I just cannot believe it look at this Rosie. They really put the pterosaurs in with the dinosaurs. Yes I know that birds are in the Theropod clade however this most definetly does not mean that all beings with wings are automatically dinosaurs. Are bats dinosaurs? No I didn’t think so, they are clearly mammals again we are coming back to convergent evolution, which this author clearly does not have the ability to understand. However I must give the author the recognition they deserve, some of these colors are absolutely stunning and suprisingly accurate.

Thank you for coming to her Ted Talk 🔴

P.S. Rosie's shirt says "women want me fish fear me"

Saw (2004) but John does the Family Guy death pose on the ground

That's it, that's the only change. Maybe Adam recognizes it for a second but Lawrence tries to get him on task again

SPIT ART these r so epic

Tried making some PMD styled sprites for Voyna! So far I only got her idle done, but I’m currently working on her walk cycle :} 

This is my first time doing sprite stuff, let alone pixel art so it might be a little rough ^^’
