Vasska never does anything with ill will.
An extra behavioral note...


Extra Note...


Vasska does not know that he's fighting. This means that he will "play" with anyone: stags, does, minis, or fawns. He has been known to severely damage his playmates, so attack at your own risk. Do not expect him to treat your fawn or doe gently out of some sort of innate moral understanding. He has none.

Thank you so much,

Thank you so much, Declan!
Also... you're my 100th comment! I love that number~ It's just so beautiful and round~

Oh, I think Valeera met

Oh, I think Valeera met Vasska here the other day. I was wondering who that fawn was. :')
shaku's picture

Snow; Was he being a little

Snow; Was he being a little twat? If so, yeah! XD I think I remember Ravus saying something about your new deer, although I wasn't able to pinpoint which one Valeera was 8D

HOMG best song ever, Shakuku.

HOMG best song ever, Shakuku. Fits Vo nicely, if I do say so myself. <3
shaku's picture

Thank you, Ryff! XD Snow; I

Thank you, Ryff! XD

Snow; I LIED! I remember which one Valeera was now! She was the fawn trying to fight off Tieff, right? XD Vasska kept trying to pull her back, but she's a headstrong little gal!

Maybe Vasska would like my

Maybe Vasska would like my girl Eva. Whose bio I need to make when I'm not semi-comatose xD
shaku's picture

Lemme know when you have it

Lemme know when you have it up~ I don't think there's a deer in the forest that Vasska DOESN'T like XD

You mean, now?

You mean, now?

Cuuuuute! You need IMAGES!

Cuuuuute! You need IMAGES! Haha~

I know! I need to upload some

I know! I need to upload some of my art. I think in my entire time of being on TEF I've only uploaded two images, lol. I have to draw everything by hand and scan it, because I have no art programs at all and no tablet, and I don't want to blind everyone with the hideousness of my pencil lines and sketching and coloured pencils and bleh. Ha.
shaku's picture

I've seen people do some

I've seen people do some pretty awesome stuff editing pencil lines >u> If you don't have programs, you can download some. I know Sai and OpenCanvas are free~

Hm, I will certainly look

Hm, I will certainly look into those. Thanks, shaku. <3

On an unrelated note, how did you come up with the name shaku? Heheh.
shaku's picture

Pleasure~! I haven't used Sai

Pleasure~! I haven't used Sai much, but I've heard good things about it.

Haha~ I came up with "Shakaku" in junior high, which apparently meant (or so I thought? I never double-checked...) "Fire Angel." As I got older, I decided I didn't like tripping over all those hard consonants, so I shortened it :3 My older friends still call me Shakaku, though~ I find it interesting that a lot of people add another "ku" to the end, making it longer again XD;; Shakuku.. haha.

Edit: Here's the link to Sai~

I would be a Shakuku'er,

I would be a Shakuku'er, then. It just sounds cute. XD

That's really interesting. My username was just a play on the word "riff" which is a guitar solo type thingy. Me and my rock and roll...*unhealthyobsessionalertD:* Teehee.

I'm in a roleplaying mood, are you available for roleplay right now? :]
shaku's picture

Haha, it really does XD I

Haha, it really does XD

I was wondering if "riff" was where it came from >u>

We have a couple of others going.. but if you'd like to start a new one, that's peachy with me :3 I don't reply very quickly, which is why I use forums, but if that's cool with you, I'm open to whatever~

Oh we do? Oh yeah, there's

Oh we do? Oh yeah, there's the one with Phylux that I need to reply to, and we never did end up roleplaying Vo...lol, I get so tangled up in things when I forget.

Considering we never started it, would you mind if Vodun played with Ryff?
shaku's picture

Sure~! Although Vodun might

Sure~! Although Vodun might not be able to do very much. He's very unhealthy right now~ (Recovering, though!)

Just to make sure, you want to play with the calm personality (Vodun), not the fiery one (Vasska)? Vasska recently split off from Vodun, leaving only the content, quiet deer in his wake.

Yes, I want to play with

Yes, I want to play with Vovo. (lol new knickname?) Ryff won't hurt him. The worst thing she could do is cuddle him to death. xD
________

The grey doe walked slowly in the snow, passing the Crying Idol with its tears rolling down its beautifully carved face. She had long wondered how it had gotten there, for she was sure that the Twin Gods would have been busy making deerkind rather than the beautiful statue. None the matter, it was there, and it was beautiful.

By now she was down at the bridge, her long and lush silver pelt collecting snow as she made her way to the willow, under which she sat and watched the deer on the opposite bank playing.
shaku's picture

Vodun made his way back to

Vodun made his way back to the pond with painful slowness. He wasn't sure what kept calling him away across the forest. He simply couldn't stay put. It would've been much easier to lay next to the pond until he healed fully, and he probably would've healed faster. His bones creaked. He felt like an old man.

After finally reaching the pond, he took a few mouthfuls, cooling the sharp thirst that had built up along the journey, and made his way back to his usual spot: the weeping willow beside the pond. He was rather surprised to find it already attending another guest. He lowered himself into the water instead, knees seeping into the mud, taking advantage of the unusually bright and sunny day. He wouldn't have many opportunities like this as winter approached.

...so much aww. Seriously, I

...so much aww. Seriously, I read this and "aw. aw. aw." went repeatedly through my head. Vass, and then Vodun's take on Ravus.... I approve of this relationship. ♥ I think Ravus understands the situation too, that's why she wants to see Vo better and took to Vass automatically. (And, you know, I just stalk your characters out of necessity so it has to work somehow. xD)

And can I just say I love how you're combining common elements (like friends they both have)? It's such an intelligent decision, and so fitting that they'll always have some "say" on how the other lives. I'm so glad I like Vodun, too--he was the last one I was always unsure of, since technically Ravus had never met HIM.
shaku's picture

I definitely approve of this

I definitely approve of this relationship XD And I'm glad Ravus is strong enough to handle Vasska's adoration and Vodun's lack of protection, haha~ They're both fairly useless and dangerous friends, I'm afraid |D;;

And thank yooou! It blossomed from my unwillingness to create more code XD;; Since the link is #ravus, I didn't want to have to remember a #ravus1 or #vodunsravus or anything, haha~ But I'm glad it looks spiffy! Woo, laziness!

Yah, Vodun is an odd one. He's very soft and calm, but he isn't necessarily kind. He won't immediately jump into something fun, like Phylux, or quickly hop in to protect his friends, like Dublin. He has very strong connections, such as with Ysrael and Vasska, but he doesn't expend a lot of emotional energy on anyone else. I have a lot of fun stretching my brain around him, since I had originally planned for this part of him to die when Vasska took over >u>

Trickster's picture

Lawl pretty sure Vodun just

Lawl pretty sure Vodun just witnessed Jester drowning, minis shouldn't be allowed to sleep in the shallows, you know it :B ♥

Srsly, this place has changed so much and I've been meaning to drop by and check it out, gawds your presentationa and layouts and all your beautiful characters are so dern gorgeous~! Shocked ♥ Scuse me whilst I like, run away with this, and make it my mistress. It can make me sandwiches. Because CSS is a real woman, I really lost where I was going with this asoiudfaoiud 8D

OH HAI 8D

EDIT: I hope you know Jester and I are very good at the 'switch back to the window to find the deer in oddly different positions' game. BRING IT *shotdead* 8D

Hmm. I think I need to start

Hmm. I think I need to start tracking things. I will start here. :3
shaku's picture

Zebbie; Lmfaooo, yesss XD I

Zebbie; Lmfaooo, yesss XD I was thinking this. Silly Jester~
Awww, thank you! ;u; I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but I'm a LOT happier than I was with the original layout XD I don't think it'll probably ever change now, considering how much freaking code I'd have to mess with to change it XD;; So this css is the woman you'd BETTER love, because she sure as hell won't change herself for your sake! Haha~

Gustiro; Thankyoooou! ;u; ♥ ♥ *chews on*

Anjali's picture

Pfffft, Vasska isn't a brat,

Pfffft, Vasska isn't a brat, he's a sweetie-pie! Or at least, he was to Anjali (who's rather taken with him now that he's met him). *smitten*
shaku's picture

Lol!! That's because Anjali

Lol!! That's because Anjali is magical and laughs instead of getting irritated XDD He looooves Anjali~

Kiwizoom's picture

Oh, you probably get this a

Oh, you probably get this a lot, but did you make some crazy CSS to get this page to look like this? I'm really curious to hear what you did : D
Nice to meet ya! I'm Kiwi~ I found you through being online at the same time : )

//Grrahhh so late >.

//Grrahhh so late >.
Ryff jumped slightly as the male walked right past her, looking injured and frail, and tilted her head as he waded into the water. Despite the sun, the weather was nippy, and the water even more so.

She stood up somewhat stiffly, and then trotted up to him curiously.

"Th'water is a bit to cold for 'dat, don'tcha think?"
shaku's picture

Kiwizoom; It's a heavily

Kiwizoom; It's a heavily modified version of this >u<;; You have to understand two things:
- Using the "name" feature (which goes to a specific point on a single webpage)
- Using div boxes
There's one div box that everything else sits inside. This div box hides things that extend further than its height allows. So basically, I have a crapton of mini div boxes hidden beneath the height of that one div box. Every time you push a "link," it uses the "name" link feature to pop to that point in the page, revealing what lies under that part of the div box.

Imagine one of those old scrolls. You can't see the part that's rolled up, right? So when you click a link, it unscrolls to that part of the scroll.

...Does that make sense? So I basically just have my entire page repeated about 10+ times, including the top image XD;;

Ryff; That's okay XD

-----

Vodun paused. He fancied himself rather invisible, and was surprised when he realized the voice was aimed in his direction.

"Oh... is it?" he replied politely, since admitting the fact that he wanted the cold would be considered strange. Instead, he played the ignorance card.

Kiwizoom's picture

Heey! Thanks for the

Heey! Thanks for the explanation : ) If I study it enough, I'll understand what you mean. CSS is so fun, and you made this page beautifully ; D It has inspired me

I am sorry I vanished. I got

I am sorry I vanished. I got disconnected from the forest and now can not seem to be able to reconnect.
shaku's picture

Kiwi; It isn't a simple

Kiwi; It isn't a simple concept XD;; So I'd just recommend playing around with it until you get something you like!!
Thanks so much for the compliments!! ;u; ♥

Gustiro; I was wondering! ;u; Vasska was having more fun mimicking his actions. Gustiro is such a sweetheart~ I love the fact that he's so tough, except when he's dealing with something like a fawn XD

Ryff was silent and stepped

Ryff was silent and stepped into the water after him. The cold bit her legs and belly as she lay in the water with him, but she ignored it.

"Yah, and when y'walked past y'looked t'be hurt. Th'last thing you need is t'get cold, 'cause then ye'll get stuck."

She shivered in the water.

"Though I figure if that's how y'want it then I should be on standby."

At this she chuckled, like it was her own little joke.

shaku's picture

Ryff, you don't need to bump

Ryff, you don't need to bump :3 I promise, I won't forget about you. I just don't have any inspiration at the moment. I can't get how Vodun feels in this situation, therefore I'm having trouble reacting. I'm sorry about the lag in my response ;u;

... That was a wonderful

... That was a wonderful surprise. ♥

>u< &hearts; I just keep

>u< ♥
I just keep thinking how it somehow just happened that Ravus is Vasska's mom, but like... she's so perfect for him XD *warm fuzzies*

Lmao, I agree. I love how

Lmao, I agree. I love how such an epic decision was based on like a two minute conversation--"Man, fawns come and go. I can't have Ravus get too attached to them." "I was thinking of having Red be reborn as a fawn, actually." "OMG YES." "OMG OK. HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NAME VASSKA? *Registers.*"~
shaku's picture

LMFAO YESS. I think many of

LMFAO YESS. I think many of the best ideas are spur the moment, but most people just don't follow them up XD Take Cream, for example. Or the box fort I made with my roommate in our last apartment. Or my female boxer, Piper. No, Piper, you can't steal the paper out of my printer.

Besides, with Vasska's nature, it was logical to decide all of that in two minutes XD

Yeah, come to think of it,

Yeah, come to think of it, that's definitely something I've noticed with you--that you don't just talk about doing awesome thing, you do them. xD I love it, cuz I'm the sort of person who will put as much effort into something as the other, but otherwise assumes the other person was just talking big if they don't pursue it, and I'll forget about it too. :X

And yes. xD Our impulse fawn~
shaku's picture

I admit that sometimes I

I admit that sometimes I pursue ideas simply because they seem like a passing fancy XD Like, "Oh, wouldn't that be awesome if-"

Yeah, those make me the most happy XD

*sniff* TuT He makes me so proud.

FINALLY I'm not on my phone

FINALLY I'm not on my phone and I can see updatessssssssss

"Your pelt is still beautiful and golden! Just sit there, Rire, and rest your old man bones."
LMAO!
I... don't think Rire has ever, ever been called "old" before xD
Rire secretly likes Vasska, I think. He wouldn't torture himself so, otherwise.
shaku's picture

Lmfao. I think Vasska

Lmfao. I think Vasska considers everyone who's more mature than himself "old," with fawns being the exception. And since Rire is usually the one trying to make him behave.. haha. I think he'll still consider Rire old when he's all grown up, too XD And I think Vasska secretly adores Rire, which is why he teases him so much ♥ I always feel bad for Vasska's friends XD:;

Sianna is so confused as to

Sianna is so confused as to why Vasska insists on being beneath her... and is wondering why Ravus isn't watching him. ;-;
shaku's picture

HE'S COLD. COLD COLD COLD.

HE'S COLD. COLD COLD COLD. Cold :I
So he attached himself to the first warm body he recognized.

Vasska's mouth curved into a broad smile, "But you're the one keeping ME warm!"

Shaku~! Could I get please

Shaku~! Could I get please get a color reference for Vasska?

Ah~! Kitty! Of course! XD I

Ah~! Kitty! Of course! XD
I feel bad giving you his fawn ref, because he's gonna grow up in like... a day @u@;; But I don't have an adult ref yet! Fff. So would you prefer the fawn, or do you want me to scramble together an adult real quick?

A day? :C I'll do the fawn

A day? :C
I'll do the fawn very quickly then :'D Besides, I can always draw him again later :3 You shouldn't rush when you don't have to^-^
