Smiling-while-crying Ibuki Sprites For Anon! Ive Never Actually Done Edits With Ibuki Before But Her

Smiling-while-crying Ibuki sprites for anon! I’ve never actually done edits with Ibuki before but her sprites were very fun to work with!

big fan of walking in the rain. hate the concept of wet clothes. i am tired of life and its obscure sufferings

Okay. last two megaten cookies for a while now for real. 

Yeti Cookie (based on Dust the Yeti from Devil Children) is a giant, fluffy yeti cookie whose a part of Strawberry Ice Cookie’s guild. He’s the muscle and what he lacks in brains he makes up for with heart. Other than being able to withstand freezing cold temperatures, like most yetis he can create snow which he sometimes uses as an attack. Usually by throwing big snowballs.

Pixie Cookie. I took a lot of deviations from Megaten Pixie so that she would contrast Fairy Cookie and so I could base her off of a Pixie Stick.

There’s a lot of different Pixie Cookies of different colors and shapes, made of pure sugar and even smaller than most fairy folk. They can switch to an even smaller form that fits in the hands of most cookies that leaves behind trails of Pixie Powder which is so mind-numbingly sweet it can cause regular cookies to lose their way.. Pumpkin Queen often commissions pixies to wander her haunted mazes around Halloween time, as to cause guests to get turned around. Pixie Cookie herself is very scrappy and bossy despite her size, yet always seems to be the best at gathering info due to how small she can be otherwise. She is also a part of Strawberry Ice’s guild. 

Some of my favorite Alastor faces from the comic.

If I'm creating a story with cultures based off real ones, is it best if I keep the details vague but enough to know what the fictional cultures are based off of? For example if I had one of my characters wear a nath to let the audience know they're based off indian culture but i altered the meaning of its significance within the fictional culture, would that be improper/disrespectful?

Using Elements from Real Cultures in Fantasy

Borrowing elements from real cultures and incorporating them into fantasy cultures without engaging in cultural appropriation can be tricky, but it can be done.

Ideally, you want to avoid using elements that have religious and/or spiritual context. That would include something like an Indian nath, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t do something similar with a different context. What can you do to make your version different? Perhaps it is worn in the lip rather than the nose, is worn in both nostrils, is two rings rather than one, or maybe it’s adorned with seashells instead of metal fittings and jewels. And, again, you would want to come up with a different context. This way, you’re not taking this sacred item and simply giving it a different name or a different purpose, you’re changing what it is completely so that it’s just something similar, inspired by the real thing, but unique to your story.  I hope that helps!
