a tabaxi i drew as a one-off thing so i could practice with my markers, but then i liked her too much so i gave her a name and a backstory

her name is Fortuna, and her family used to be fairly well-off farmers who owned a large acreage and employed many people, until one day they were targeted by armed robbers. this by itself wouldn’t have been impossible to recover from, but afterwards a string of misfortune followed them, until they were forced to sell off the vast majority of their estate just to make ends meet. 

they moved to a smaller home, and Fortuna left for a different city to try her chances there. she wound up joining the thieve’s guild, where she now acts as the Face in various criminal activities. she’s fully aware of the irony, but she has made oath to herself to find the people who first targeted her family and do.. something to them. she’s working on it.

the biggest fuckign power move ive ever pulled was not knowing hell and fuck about football

when i was 15 i got my first proper job in a football stadium and i was working in VIP. we were under strict orders not to fawn over the Famous People and in fact it was a sackable offense to like ask for photos or autographs with them. the thing is i didnt have a Fucking Clue who any of these people were. i didn’t know the difference between the footballers and the general rich people and tbh i kinda hated all of them. you could tell some of them were desperate to get noticed and used to swan around taking selfies with people and one time a tall boring man spent a long time leaning over the bar chatting to me and I just sorta blinked and said “tea or coffee?” and he left in a huff and then my manager came over and was like “you know that’s [famous person whose name I immediately forgot]” and I was like. Whomst. I saw him on TV the other day. anyway I hate rich people and they hate when us plebians dont immediately bend over and kiss their shoes
