I've been longing for a wok, and I was able to get my hands on this gorgeous one! 😍 Gonna make some kickass fried rice tonight.

Blue carbon steel wok with a wooden handle. The steel reflects the light beautifully.

Listen, look, I love them your honor.

Screenshot of the Baker, Narrator, and Butler from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1999). The Baker and the Butler look very silly. The Baker is wearing a stereotypical "chef" costume with a large, puffy white chef's hat on top of short hair curled up at the end and appears frightened. The Butler stares directly at the camera. He has dark hair poofed out into a long triangle-shape and a big, curly "french" moustache. He's wearing a sleeveless tight shirt stripped horizontally in black and yellow, a large golden necklace, and white gloves. Both characters have bright red circles of blush on their cheeks.

Augustus Mercar

Qunari (Vashoth), Rogue (bow & arrow focused), Shadow Dragon

My very large, handsome, soft boy. Adopted by human parents, he grew up being taught to hide who he was and took a long time to come to terms with his heritage. (Though as a teen he got really into vitaar.)

Close-cropped portrait of Qunari Rook Augustus Mecar. Augustus has dark grey-purple skin, amber eyes, and large curling ram's horns. Bronze rings adorn both horns, and the tip of the left horn has been replaced by amber. His hair, which is thick and long and gathered in a large bun at the top of his head, is deep purple, which matches his short, thick beard.

Nona Ingellvar

Vaguely Harrow the Ninth inspired (except for personality lol)

Elf, Warrior, Mourn Watch. Not a mage but sensitive to magic, they became a warrior in order to protect the Necropolis. Uses a scythe, and weaves bone spikes into her braid to prevent anyone from grabbing it in a fight.

Elf Rook Nona Ingellvar. Nona has warm brown skin, tired dark brown eyes, and black-blue hair tied back in a very long, thick braid. Her face from the nose down is painted white and pale purple, with grey lines over the mouth and down the throat to suggest a skeleton.

Nona Ingellvar in full battle armor during the Seige of Weisshaupt, slashing through baddies with her scythe. She's wearing the Spined Encasement armor and Smiling Visage helm.

Finally got the photos off my deck, so: introducing my Rooks!

Revas Aldwir

Elf, Mage, Veil Jumper. Left their clan when they came of age to explore the world.

Friendly, snarky, optimistic as hell, and smarter than they act, though they're always too quick to trust. Romanced Davrin.
