Nerr (fatesona) - Tumblr Posts
OTP drawing challenge day 6-(shirt couple) Nerr- “As much as I love rubbing our happy relationship in people’s faces, this is a bit humiliating. Do I HAVE to wear this stupid thing?” Gunther- “Yes, you do. Remember what happened LAST time?” Nerr- “...yes…” Gunther- “And what did we learn from that incident?” Nerr- “…I can’t be trusted…” Gunther- “That’s right; you can’t. Be happy I don’t have you on a harness…” I had to do a modern AU for this, partially because I thought it would make more sense than embroidered tunics, but also because it gives me a chance to finally draw Gunther with a beard! Also, I think an AU version of why this happened is less depressing than the actual Fatesverse events that would lead to it. In a modern setting, I just totally see Nerr getting into such a screaming match with the servers at the food court that she has to be escorted out by mall security (she WAS in line before all those people who's orders they took ahead of her, tho), so of course they can never show their faces there again, and have to drive to the mall across town when the games they want come out (because they're both PowerPointsPRO members, but they're not willing to pay for shipping). Poor Gunther's thinking he left one kid with a babysitter only to have to drag along another. In my actual Fatesverse, Gunther just flies into a frenzied panic as soon as he looses sight of Nerr because the last time they were seperated for more than a few minutes, there were two assassination attempts on her life, and she nearly died of scepticimia. See? That's why I have a modern AU.
Random excerpt from the current chapter of "The Falling Light" that I'm working on now:
The Nohrian princess looked back over at the small crowd of Hoshidans and Nohrians.
"I need you all to make me angry."
"You're a bitch, and nobody likes you." Takumi supplied so quickly she was certain that was going to be his response regardless of what she had asked.
"I appreciate the thought, Takumi, but I don't care enough about your opinion for your words to hurt me." She told him sincerely. "Anyone else?"
Bonus scene:
As the second prince passed her, he whispered just loud enough for Nerr to pick up.
"You look like a really stupid prostitute."
"Thank you, Takumi."
Nerr Aesthetic I've seen so many of these, but had no idea how to actually do it, so I improvised.
Okay, so old digital sketch is old and not great, BUT... Nerr and Gunther's wedding clothes are based on Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade. But, like... SHINY Megas, so they're wearing black. Because I want Nerr to wear a giant, poofy wedding dress with a huge ass bow on the front.
"The red... it's everywhere... Can't you see it...?!"
If I don't draw for a few days, I start getting rusty, so I have to fart out something like this to remind my hand how to art.
By the end of both branches of The Road Not Trekked, Nerr is suffering from serious, irreperable brain damage, both traumatic and hypoxic (as a result of actually dying rather than almost dying, and being brain dead for several minutes). She suffers from near constant migraines and her fine motor skills have taken a hit (she can walk, but she has difficulty feeding herself), to say nothing of the insomnia, mood swings and hypogeusia (a taste disorder that reduces your ability to taste... well, flavor). She can deal with all that, and had been dealing with most of it for months already, but the thing that bothers her is the red. She occasionally experiences hallucinations, mostly triggered during moments of extreme stress when she sees warm colors (reds, oranges and yellows- if you read my fic, you'll know why that triggers it). She occasionally has violent outbursts at these times, but usually goes into a catatonic state for several minutes.
It doesn't matter what side she's on; Nerr never wins the war.
"I don't need your reassurance, Xander, nor yours, Camilla- I know I'm fabulous." Nerr is the kind of bitch who does not have any fucks to give. That's why she wears a hairpin, a daidem AND a big ass hat and looks FANTASTIC while doing so, because how DARE you tell her that's too cluttered, Leo. Just look at that pretty motherfucker. That is the sway of a woman who will eat your family then attend a gala in honor of the victims of this morning's tragic dragon attack. ...I think I'm actually a little jealous of Gunther now...
"Am I particularly known for giving a damn about people's opinions? If they want to talk, that's their problem, not mine. And not yours. ...you are always welcome here, Shura. For any reason."
In the context of The Rising Dark, this would be awkward, but Nerr is the stupidest, blindest person in the world when it comes to reading the mood. She wants her family to be happy, and that includes her retainers, and that includes Shura.
Gunther's just like, "...Kougan..."
So, I saw a cute prompt on @imagine-your-ocs-otps and HAD to write something for it. I can't say which prompt because that would spoil the whole story, but it's at the end of the fic. I have to do more of those prompts- they're wonderful! Part of me already wants to do a sequel!
AHFDBJLYFVBJH I've been wanting to do this for weeks, but I have been so stressed out and under the weather that I couldn't even bring myself to LOOK at a pen. The only reason I even managed this now is because the pain pills I took are finally kicking in and I don't think I'm gonna puke anymore. I had to draw something for @news14-arts since she did a fucking STUNNING picture of Nerr. Apparently, her OC Rosamund is the type that actually likes helping people for some reason (because she's a pure cinnamon roll who needs to stay away from Nerr, lest that jadedness corrupt her goodness...). I know this isn't her usual get-up, but in my headcanon, after the war, King Xander encourages people to stop dressing like they're going to be pulled into battle at any second- if your country is at peace, there's no reason for you to wear armor. ...it TOTALLY isn't because I got caught up looking at pictures of frilly meido dresses... not at all... ( @news14-arts if you don't like it, I can draw something else) Her hair looks so simple, but it's NOT!
Oh my god???? I have never been so in love???? I mean, look at this; would you look at this?! Dayum, I don't know what class this is, but I will buy the dlc for that right stat now! And that second picture, it makes my heart melt. Rosamund is a good influence on Nerr (she's rarely that happy)
"They're all so pretty, milady. I wouldn't be able to chose." "Neither can I. Hmmm.... to hell with it, I'll just wear them all. If people don't want to see a human lighthouse, that's their problem."
Nerr used Dazzling Gleam. It's super effective!
finally got home to post these ٩( ᐛ )و

Nerr sighed quietly as she looked at the plate of half eaten food. Felicia had done exceptionally well this time, only burning one or two things, but... she had no appetite. The courtyard of Castle Krakenburg was a vision of beauty, and given that today was one of the few balmy days Nohr enjoyed, the princess had given into her spur of the moment decision to have an impromptu picnic during tea, but... she had begun to regret that. Camilla had taken Elise to Cyrkensia for a bout of shopping, Leo was in Windmire, speaking to the heads of several noble houses, Xander and Gunther were enduring another levee... this wasn't a picnic. It was her, eating alone. Again. As usual. She reached for her glass of sparkling wine and downed it in one gulp. Almost half the bottle was gone.
Her servants were busy with other duties, her retainers had lives of their own outside her, and she could not begrudge them that, but... She had just returned from Freesia to what felt like an empty house. Even the maids and gaurds who darted through the courtyard heading to wherever gave her a wide berth, whispering behind their hands. Nerr closed her eyes, comtemplating how long it would take to get back to the "lonely" Northern Citadel if she started walking now...
"Oh! Hello, Princess Nerr. Would you like more tea?" Jolted from her self pity by a dulcet voice, she looked up to find a maid with a sweet countance smiling down at her. She held a tray laden with food in one hand and a teapot in the other.
"Uhhhh..." The princess responded intelligently. She could have sworn she saw this girl before; pink haired, blue eyed maids weren't that common... "...you serve my brother, yes?"
"Yes, milady, I serve Prince Leo, but that doesn't mean I have to exclude the rest of the royal family." Her gentle voice and eyes made Nerr shrink down on the chaise she sat on; that was not the way she was used to people around the castle looking at her. Most servants pointedly refused to make eye contact with her, either due to a racially charged hatred, or a fear that she might "snap" and revert back to a man eating beast.
"You aren't... scared of me...?" The maid giggled lightly.
"What a silly thing to ask! Why would anyone be scared of you? Everyone in the royal family is so kind and polite..."
"...I suppose..."
"So, tea?" She held up the pot again temptingly. Nerr could not help the smile that tugged at her lips as she lifted her empty cup.
"Please. Oh, I didn't catch your name..."
"It's Rosamund, milady."
"Well, you are a treasure, Rosamund, and the royal family is lucky to have you." The maid flushed almost as darkly as the roses she wore in her hair, though she didn't look displeased at the praise.
--
When Leo finally returned to the castle a few hours later, Nerr was already waiting for him in his room.
"Gods, Nerr, you almost gave me a heart attack. Can you go one day without being weird?"
"Probably not. I have a proposition for you." The young prince paused in hang up his cloak, slowly turning to face his sister with narrowed eyes.
"...and just what might this proposition be...?" Straightening her back, Nerr put on her negotiation face.
"I would like to, let's say, 'borrow' your maid, Rosamund, for... an unspecified amount of time." Leo stared at her blankly.
"...WHY?"
"Reasons." She answered simply. "In the meantime, to ensure you are not deprived if whatever services she provides for you, you can have Jakob."
"I'd rather have syphillis than your ornery jackass of a butler. Why do you want Rosamund; you already have a maid."
"I want a matching set!"

(Sorry for the fanfic, I just got that in my head)
Finally finished coloring this for @news14-arts. God, I wish I had a scanner, because my phone cam is shit. There's nothing I hate more than using pure black to color, but I really don't know enough about coloring with pencils to use other colors...
Random Nerr/ Silent Dragon mamukete facts/ head canons -Nerr is, in fact, a man eater. Earth dragons, fire dragons, and silent dragons tend to be. And surprisingly, it has very little to do with her just trying to make a point that she totally follows through with her threats- all the extra mass she gains when she transforms has to come from somewhere, so the calcium, protein, iron and collagen needed for her horns/wings/ect. is leeched from her body. A human diet is not enough to maintain that amount of raw fuel, so her draconic instict helpfully "reminds" her that the people she's killing anyway are a good souce of protein. She rarely eats people now that the war is over, so she unfortunately suffers from malnutrition. She unwittingly tries to remedy this by hunting and eating small animals raw (cooking food leeches the nutrients from it). -She HAS eyes in her dragon form... technically. They're just covered by skin, but it's very porous skin, so she can still "see" to an extent. She gets most of her "vision" from other sensory information. -Silent Dragons grow eyes as they get older/ more powerful. Pure blooded dragons are born completely blind, or with vestigial eyes. They don't usually grow their first eye(s) until they are around ten years in age (aprox. 6 months by human development standards). Anyone with greater SD blood will develop this (which means the first Vallites had multiple eyes), and yes, it manifests even in human form. -In all dragon species, but especially Silent Dragons, females are considerably larger and more aggressive than males. Which means that, even though Nerr barely reaches Gunther's shoulder, the dragon in her has her convinced that SHE'S the big one, and that her 6'3" mountain of muscle husband is a smol delicate baby that has to be protected from any threat, including mean people and tiny yapping dogs. -Manaketes are incredibly social creatures with large, complex social groups. They react to isolation exactly as humans do, with physical and mental problems. -Nerr's dragon form is a literal dehumidifier. Her body pulls moisture from the air, which collects on her skin in a manner similar to sweat. That's where the water that accumulates both at her feet and from her Dragon Fang attack comes from. It's safe to drink as it's sterile, but most people are probably reluctant to drink what is basically dragon sweat. As a result, the air around her is much cooler. -In her dragon form, the feelers that grow behind her horns are used to detect heat and air motion, but really are used for emoting. They pretty much read like a dog's tail, and even wag when she's happy. I might do more of these later. They're fun.
Kay, so like, it's not that I forgot about that OTP challege I was doing... I just didn't feel like doing it. I mean, the drawing part is fun, but the inking was just... nope. So here's some sketches for days 7 & 8 (holiday and animals). Of course I'm gonna do halloween because cosplay, man. Nerr would just dress up like a normal witch (she probably bought that costume from Walmarth), but Gunther's a bit more... imaginative. He probably gets bits and pieces from random costumes he's had over the years and throws it all together and presto- insta-fab. "Lol, what the fuck are you supposed to be; some kind of magical girl?" "Psh, bitch plz- Sailor Moon's got nuthin' on me. That's Prince(ss) Ninja-Marth to you." As for animals, what do you think I am, a furry? I drew them as bugs because there are teal dragonflies and purple beetles, and as pretty as they are, they scare the shit out of me.
Nerr, summed up with Mortys.
