After quite some time i finally completed a first rough pass at gelfling-ifying myself. I’m meant to be from the Drenchen clan and since we never see Drenchen wings I thought of a couple designs where they are smaller and less insect-looking, or more fin-shaped. The yellow markings are meant to represent the main river systems, and the three dots on my shoulder represent the three suns of Thra.
I drew the Drenchen siblings as humans for my high school AU. I included Eliona and Pemma as well since I feel like they don’t get mentioned a whole lot.
So in this AU Maudra Laesid would be in charge of the swimming team with Naia being vice president. Gurjin is on the team and is currently their best team members.
Since Eliona and Pemma don’t really have a description in the books, I had to think up my interpretations of what they’d look like. It was harder to think of what they’d look like as humans than as gelfling for some reason lol. But anyway,Eliona would not be as involved in the swim team as her older siblings. Instead I feel like she would be more interested in Environemntal or geography class. And Pemma would be in the elementary school, which would be a branch off of Thra high school (that’s what I’m calling it for now).
I’m feeling like drawing human Amri just to pull together the entire book squad.
I only decided to draw the four main otps that I ship the most currently, because if I drew every single one it would take way too long lol.
So first up we have Rian x Deet obviously, I will always ship these two and I miss them every single day.
Next we have Zenitsu and Nezuko from Demon Slayer, I haven’t read the whole manga yet but I like their dynamic so far in the anime and I can’t wait to see where their relationship goes.
Now this is one of my older otps that have been reawakened as of recently. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve drawn Yuri! On Ice stuff and after a recent rewatch I just remembered how much I loved these two. (Still waiting for that movie/season 2 lol)
And finally we have Chiaki and Hajime from Danganronpa 2. I really liked them together when I watched the play through of the game, but the anime really made me love their relationship, and I cried many tears .
These stonegrot kids are just living in my head rent free right now so I had to draw these sketches.
I feel like when Rian and Deet had kids Rian’s biggest fear was for one of his sons to inherit some of his bad habits from when he was younger. Thankfully none of them did… His daughter did lol. Aya was the mischievous one, she would steel snacks and stay up late. Sometimes she would try to rope her siblings into her shenanigans, Jen would never do it but her younger siblings were more persuasive.
Speaking of Jen, even though he wasn’t raised by the mystics in this au I fell like he’d still would be very instrested in books and reading. He would love to visit his aunt Brea in Ha'rar and read all the books and stories.
And Ordon (the second) was the one who became a warrior, just like his grandfather. Rian was happy to train his son to be a soldier, but didn’t want a relationship similar to what he had with his father, so he went easy on him until Ordon ii was old enough to get more complex training.
The last day of stonegrot week is today and I’m sad. This is a no garthim wars AU, where the gelfling didn’t die and everyone lived happily ever after.
In this timeline Rian and Deet end up having four kids, two girls and two boys their names go from right to left:
Ordon, their third child who is two trine old in this picture.
Jen, the oldest and is around 12 trine old in this picture.
Aya, their second child and is 10 trine old in this picture.
And finally Hope, the youngest and she is around 7 unums old in this picture.
I had a whole lot of fun with stonegrot week and can’t wait for the next stonegrot week! Happy shipping
For a little context: this is during the garthim wars, and I imagine that there will be a point where the remaining gelfling are hiding in some sort of safe zone, and every unum or so they have to send out a group of gelfling to leave the safe zone to get food, supplies etc. However, the garthim swarms are getting more and more frequent, and it gets more dangerous to leave the safe zone.
This comic takes place during their second or third exposition outside the safe zone, and after an incident Deet starts worrying for Rian’s safety. Rian promises to return to Deet and their future childling every time he leaves.
Sorry if this is a little angsty, I post something really cute tomorrow to make up for it. :)
I like to think that Deet loves playing with Rian’s hair, braiding it, putting flowers in it etc. He isn’t that big of a fan of the flowers since they are a nightmare to get out, but she likes to do it so he endures it.
One time Rian forgot that he had them in his hair so he just walked around with a flower crown all day, and he was just standing there wondering why everyone was just staring at him. Gurjin was the one who had to pull him to the side and tell him in between laughing. After that he kinda put a stop to flower crowns lol.
Morsel, a gelfling raised by a stonewood female gelfling and skekMal who had claimed her his mate. Morsel, being of mixed clan, was abandoned by his Dousan mother because of pressures from her clan members. His real father is unknown. Instead of eating him, skekMal figured his mate would want a child of her own. He calls him Morsel as he regularly threatened to devour him for being an annoying brat.
Morsel is a slim n trim fellow with odd habits. His skeksis stepfather raised him to be a skilled hunter with a harsh edge. Despite this he wants to woo the gelfling babes he comes into contact with but most of them are xenophobic and find his habits too weird for their tastes.
