i simply must know what rokc is

Yessss my relentless rokc posting has worked!! >:]

I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is

The ROKC is a radio show I do with a friend of mine! It follows Nick and Mallory, two grad students in the town of Kullerluk, who soon come to realize that there is Definitely Something Up with the disasters that never stop plaguing their world. There are two main portions to the show:

1.) The horoscopes. Read by Nick each week, the horoscopes seem pretty normal at first, but eventually he shares with the class that he basically blacks out while reading them. They’re usually fairly ominous, and definitely a little prophetic.

I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is

2.) The disaster report. Read by Mallory each week, the disaster report details whatever crisis has befallen their town that week, ranging from floods to earthquakes to really dense fog. She usually writes her reports clinically, but every time she reads them she ends up going a liiiiitle off script.

I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is

Eventually, they come to realize that their horoscopes and disaster reports are definitely supernaturally attached to the disasters that are happening, and after a lot of arguing back and forth and one minor character death they feel like they’ve maybe figured out exactly what’s going on (they have not).

Aside from that, there’s also the perpetually impassable route 80, Mallory’s one sided beef with local author/film-maker/musician Naomi Beech, and a handful of stupid puns for random places in our fictional town.

That’s like a Very broad overview of what’s going on. My rokc inspo tag is basically anything that I feel I could incorporate in some way to the show, or just has the vibes of it in general! Also some fun quotes from our script for you:

I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is
I Simply Must Know What Rokc Is

But yeah those are my guys!! I play Mallory and write the disaster reports, my cohost and I tag team the dialogue sections. It’s a pretty fun time. I’d share it here but it’s through my college so uh. Would prefer not to doxx myself. But if anyone’s curious I can and will ramble more about these fools forever and always!!

Working my way through some Silt Verses reference sheets, part 1!

ID: Three traditional drawings of Carpenter from The Silt Verses, here pictured as a tall woman with pale skin and gray-blonde hair that typically reaches just past her shoulders and curls slightly at its ends. 
In the first image, labeled "general season 1", she wears jeans, a gray turtleneck, and a long black coat. She stands with her hands in her jean pockets and is looking out towards the viewer. A note beside her reads "5 foot 9 inches to inches-ish". An arrow points to her boots and is labeled "steel-toed boots (for kicking with)". Another arrow points to her right ear and is labeled "fishhook", as there is a fishhook piercing her upper ear. A third arrow points to her hair and is labeled "keeps her hair down unless it's a risk..."
In the second image, labeled "episode 2, 'Sandra'", she is wearing knitted green poncho over a black turtleneck and a long brown skirt. She also has a cross-body bag and a necklace that is partially obscured by the poncho. Her hair is braided and she is looking off to the left. An arrow points to her skirt and is labeled "skirt can fold into pants". A second arrow points to the necklace she is wearing and is labeled "fake Scrivener pendant". A third arrow points to her hair and, in continuation of the final arrow of the previous image, is labeled "then she braids it".
The third image, labeled "episode 4", shows a variation on the previous outfit. She is no longer wearing the green poncho, and her skirt has been converted into wide pants. She holds her bag in her right hand and her hair has been pinned up in a bun. She is looking off to the right. An arrow pointing at her hair reads "sometimes she puts her hair all the way up", and an arrow pointing at her pants is labeled "skirt as pants". /end ID
ID: Three traditional drawings of Carpenter from The Silt Verses, here pictured as a tall woman with pale skin and gray-blonde hair that typically reaches just past her shoulders and curls slightly at its ends.
In the first image, labeled "season 1 finale", she is wearing muddied jeans and a black turtleneck with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair is down and the left side of her jaw is bruised. She has an empty gun holster at her side and holds a shard of glass in her left hand. An arrow pointing at the bruise on her face is labeled "Bruise from where Faulkner hit her". Another arrow pointing to the holster is labeled "Hayward let her keep the holster because she didn't have a gun". A third arrow pointing to the shard glass reads "shard of glass ('was gonna kill you with it')". A final arrow points to her lower right leg and is labeled "snare dog bite".

She is smiling as she looks off to the left. An arrow pointing at her hair is labeled "started braiding her hair more often (because digging. and corpses)". An arrow pointing at her shirt is labeled "Acantha's clothes are mostly lighter colors", and a third arrow pointing at her boots is labeled "new boots aren't quite as sturdy, but they work".
In the third image, labeled "road trip!", she is wearing jeans and a white button down, and has a yellow-brown raincoat tied around her waist. Her hair is once again braided and she is wearing a large backpack and carrying a smaller satchel. An arrow pointing to her ear is labeled "tore the fishhook out at Acantha's". An arrow pointing to the backpack is labeled "corspe" and another arrow pointing at the satchel is labeled "food supplies". A final arrow that isn't pointing anywhere in particular is labeled "also carrying a rifle, I just didn't draw it". /end ID
ID: Three traditional drawings of Carpenter from The Silt Verses, here pictured as a tall woman with pale skin and gray-blonde hair that typically reaches just past her shoulders and curls slightly at its ends.

She is wearing black pants, a black turtleneck, and a dark green poncho over top, as well as dark green fingerless gloves. Her hair is pinned up in a low bun. An arrow pointing to her hair is labeled "almost instinctively let her hair down; pinned it up more instead".

I have notes on the pages (transcribed in the alt text) but I’ll throw some bonus thoughts beneath the cut:

First image: The first drawing is basically what I imagine her wearing for most of season one, and probably for most of her life with the Parish. Something that's practical to walk through marshes in and can keep out the rain. The long coat is also good for concealing a revolver. I included the steel toed boots because I love the bit in the season 1 qna where they talk about whether she had a goth phase when she was younger, and then decide that she got a good pair of steel toed boot and kicked people in the shins with them.

The other two were largely because I have been convinced by my friend that she would wear skirts, at least occasionally. I don't think she wears skirts often, but they'd definitely make for good disguise, so I thought it might be a good episode 2 fit. However, if I remember right, episode 2 and episode 4 take place on the same day, so it needed to be an outfit that could become a little more practical for walking through the woods in, and wouldn't get her killed when she burns down the church. Hence the Victorian biking skirt-inspired design! The skirt can easily transition into pants, and the poncho is easy enough to take off so you don't have to deal with any loose clothing.

Second image: The s1 finale look was taken from clothes I'd already drawn her in that made sense to wear while walking through a flooded town. No loose clothing, and sturdy enough to last a walk through a lot of mud.

The clothes she got from Acantha are lighter in color, because Acantha is described as wearing white, which I always find cool. Big fan of the fact that it's healers and Acantha who are described as wearing white. I didn't necessarily get it across very well, but I do imagine that the clothes are a little ill-fitting on her. The backpack with the corpse could probably stand to be a little bigger as well, but hopefully he's a good bit desiccated and can fit nicely.

Third image: I probably could have put her in the same clothes as she had been wearing for the Siege of the Gulch, but I figured she would've been wearing those clothes for a while and would've taken the opportunity to change. Also maybe it would've helped some newcomers trust her more? I don't really know. I did come up with a few symbolic thoughts while drawing the first one, mainly that her color palette would be darker when she was doing stuff directly related to the Parish, to contrast the lighter colors she wore with Acantha. I also decided that she tended to wear her hair down with the Parish so she could hide her face better and avoid people a bit easier (or at least feel less vulnerable. I know I at least feel more exposed when I tie my hair back). So when she goes back to the Gulch, she has a moment where she almost takes it down again, and then decides against it because she's trying to distance herself from who she was before, and ties it up instead.

I don't really have a lot of thoughts on the second drawing besides what I wrote down, but I do like that for the third one she has a blend of who she was at the beginning of the series (long coat) and also who she is becoming (a lighter color scheme). She trimmed her hair at some point while at the Grace because it most definitely had become a mess between seasons 2 and 3, and I like to think that Paige managed to find her a cane once she noticed how her limp had worsened. It's probably not the perfect height and Carpenter probably doesn't use it unless she's having a particularly bad day, but cane user Carpenter my beloved <3

Fourth image: The alt s3 fit is largely for situations where she wants to appear less menacing, especially if once they get into Glottage. Long sleeves also hide any injuries she's gotten so she doesn't rouse suspicions with the authorities. I don't really have a lot of thoughts on the other two! Mainly i just need to do a bit more workshopping on the snare dog bite. Don't really know how that works. Luckily for me she's always wearing long pants so I'm basically never going to draw it.

Modern AU concept:

*grindr notifcation goes off*

Merlin: Arthur ... Why are you on grindr?

Arthur: Well, you said that I would return when Albion's need is greatest. But I can't do it on my own, so I thought I'll go and recruit some knights. And in the app description it says that you can find men on this app.

Merlin: ...

Merlin: okay then, carry on.

Bonus 1:

Arthur: MERLIN!!!!

Merlin: yes, Arthur?

Arthur: why do all these men want to bed me?!?!?!

Merlin: because it's a dating app. I told you about those

Arthur: oh... Wait, then why did you recognise the notification sound?

Merlin: ...

Arthur: Are you bedding men?

Merlin: I do have a life outside of you.

Arthur: *hurrying to open his phone*

*grindr sound goes off again on Merlin's phone this time.

Merlin: did you just match me?

Arthur: you can't have a life outside of me. I am everywhere.

Bonus 2: *weeks later*

Grindr sound goes off again.

Arthur: holy shit, I think I found Gwaine!!!
