Fuck it. A visual guide
Two sketches of y'shtola in a chibi style in her underwears. One is labeled yes! and the other is labeled no... She's smiling in the drawing labeled yes! and has more average sized breasts. Underneath is written "not too big (has to be smaller if she's skinny) Also droopy" She's frowning in the side labeled as no... Her breasts are far larger, and underneath is written "Too big. Her poor back... They look like balloons. No. #notmyshtola"

seconding the styling star love here, it's sooo good.
A photo from styling star, of a character in lolita fashion drinking coffee. There's a coffee themed border around the picture. Another picture from Style Savvy that has a scrapbook feel to it due to the border. It's the same character in lolita fashion, though a different outfit. She's in front of a boutique.

there's a new hyperfixation in town and it's limbus company. I made an edit of a bunch of the chibi sprites to make my OC, Alice! You'll never fucking guess what book she's based off. She's so sweetie and also has killed her whole family. Average limbus character moment
A chibi sprite in the style of the game limbus company representing OP's oc, Alice. She's a brown young woman with thick eyebrows, blue eyes and freckles. Her hair is also brown, with fluffy bangs covering her eyes a little bit, a braided crown on the back of her head, then two pig tails held up by ribbon. She's wearing the limbus company uniform, that consist of a large black raincoat, a dress shirt, and a red tie with an id pinned on her coat. She wears a long skirt that goes down to her ankles, and is holding a large thorny looking sword.

I know this is mostly Y'nbulea central in here, but I have a LOT of little guys, including these two!

Marisol is my beautiful bi transfem ex-criminal girl, part of a cowol trio with some friends.

Juno is my favorite bi girl failure who pretended she's an archon until she got caught by the scions

She's looking down at the camera. A bust picture of a viera girl with pink hair and large droopy ears. She has a tome strapped to her hips and is wearing a shirt with large sleeves and a lot of jewelry.

For the #lmf.gpose based on Between two Words by Mili

#theaviarygpose
A gpose of Y'nbulea, the OPs WoL. She's holding onto herself, as she leans forward, completely in the nude. The gpose is set in Ultima Thule, with a bright destroyed planet behind her. She's surrounded by starbirds, and behind her is a dark billowing cloth. An illustration of a red headed person leaning, head looking up directly at the viewer. They're entirely nude, though their arms hide any sexual organs. They seem to be covering themself with a cloak of organic darkness. One of their leg turns into the same organic shape at the bottom. The sun is bright behind them, and they are surrounded by flying blue birds.

quick question, is artistic/non sexual nudity allowed for this contest? i'd specifically like to make a gpose based on "between two worlds" by mili to give you an idea.

my personal favorite bit from the article
"What is Jira?" Gibson said when I asked if they used the task-management application. "Is it a software?" Pellen said, adding they'd briefly used Trello before their account was deactivated because they didn't use it enough.

the violent jump from 2019 vs 2025

YOU COULD TELL I WAS BARELY GETTING USED TO DIGITAL ART LMAO

(characters in second drawing don't belong to me! this is an af attack, owners are clovibun and vampmino)
A scanned sketch colored digitally. There's a blonde woman in the foreground, with her bangs hiding one of her eyes and crazy eyebags. She's holding her head, pupil blurry and has a nose bleed. Underneat her there's the word "FATIGUE" written. Behind her, a billboard of a brunette woman holding up a cup of steaming coffee and the slogan "SLEEP NO MORE". Her eyes have been ripped off from the poster, and her smile seems agressive. Two characters in a field of flowers. One of them is laying down, head resting on the lap of the other one. Their long hair flow behind them alongside their white dress. Their eyes are closed, expression peaceful but shadowed. The other character is in a black suit, and is looking down at them. They appear distressed, a single tear rolling down their cheek. He's gently cupping the face of the other character. Behind the character with long hair, the white flowers have turned red.

I think she's able to aura farm through her sheer existence tbh. Though SHB definitely was a good period for that

#theaviarygpose
A gpose of my WoL, a large sword made of a butterfly wing raised over head head. She seems to be almost floating, surrounded by light, with the crystal tower in the background and a fiery sky. OP's version of Y'shtola and their WoL in a dark moody gpose. In this picture, Y'shtola is a dark knight in armor, while their WoL is a black mage, brandishing out their staff and revealing the bat wings cape she's wearing A gpose of my WoL, her hand outstretched in front of her, as a flaming shield form behind her. She's in heavy armor, and holding a purple sword behind her. A picture of my WoL from the back, cape blowing in the wind. She's looking up to the crystal tower in the first in the distance, with her sword in her hand, as meteors fall from the sky.

Not really a job swap but eeeh close enough.

Chapter 3: Swap | An aetherial mistake

Where the duo swap bodies and G'raha realizes the chronic pain Y'nbulea deals with on the daily.
archiveofourown.org/works/685701...
“God I… I think you’re injured! I don’t know where, but there’s this terrible pain in your body. I also feel nauseous, and my head is spinning. Do- Do you think you could use healing magic while in my body? We can’t just leave you like this!” Panic rises in G’raha’s voice as she realizes the state of her lover’s body. How could she have hidden such injuries from her? Gods, would she have continued to hide them if they weren’t to be in such a situation? Y’nbulea simply stares at her for a few seconds, eyes empty as she tries to figure out what she was even talking about, before realization finally hits her. “... Oh Raha. That’s normal.”

I DID IT.

Recording the cutscenes took so much longer than actually editing them together lmao.

Spoilers for SHB and EDW included in this edit!

Day 2 of #wolgrahaweek2025

Chapter 2: Hurt/Comfort | Quiet Agonies

archiveofourown.org/works/685701...
“... Y’nbulea?” She’s pulled out of her thoughts by a familiar voice. G’raha had entered the room, and she hadn’t even noticed. He was right behind her now, eyes filled with worry as he looks up at her. She puts on a smile, like she always does. Even when her eyes were empty of all hope. Even when all she could do was puke up her blood. Even when they were so obviously losing. [striked through] A smile better suits a hero. “Ah, sorry, have you been here for a long time? I was so lost in thought, didn’t even notice you entering.” “Please.” Is all he says. “You know you don’t have to pretend in front of me.”

Welcome to my ass trying to get back into writing with #wolgrahaweek2025

Chapter 1: First Meeting | Misplaced Anxieties

archiveofourown.org/works/685701...
“Come on, it’ll be fine.” Y’nbulea gives a short squeeze to her hand. The other was too busy carrying a bouquet of flowers G’raha had spent an agonizing long time picking out. As they were walking through the Lavender Beds, G’raha felt everything BUT fine to be quite frank. Her tail betrayed her, hanging low and swaying back and forth anxiously. Y’nbulea notices the movement, and puts his own tail over his lover’s. She lets’s out a sigh. “I mean, can you blame me? First meeting with a parent are so…” She makes an attempt at a noise, some kind of strange gurgly confusion, and she shrugs.

His story is about being put through hell and back BECAUSE he decided to change himself, but still deciding to grow from it and to come out a better person he started off as.
