For determamfidd.
She commissioned me to draw her as a dwarrowdam forever and a half ago, and Dets you have been so patient thank you very much. I finally got you done! Last one I’ve been asked to do, so I guess you can call it going out with a bang? Sorta, kinda. You already know what the Singer’s Stud means so woot! no explanation.
Now for my favorite part…I also came up with a Dwarven Dark-name for you as well. It is:
Ubbanukarâz (”Weaver of Glories”)
Alright, Dets, time for some shmoopy stuff. You’re one amazing woman, and honest to god I would have left the fandom in a fury by now if it wasn’t for you. You’re kind, understanding, and gosh I’M SURE YOU NEVER HEAR THIS BUT YOU ARE HELLA CREATIVE AND DETERMINED TO A POINT. So why weaver then? Well, that’s my trying to be all cool and comparing your stories– not just Sansukh, because you’ve written some great stuff even before that giant monster– to a tapestry of sorts. You sit there and create something so fantastic (*wink wink* glorious) but the best part? You let other people in on it, too. You let others add their own little squares to this big tapestry, and you’re one of the most encouraging and sweet people I’ve ever had the luck to know.
To wrap this up before I get too goopy, I think you don’t give yourself enough credit. Your not just one in a million creative, but tough and strong and, for lack of a better term, badass as hell. Thanks for being you, and thanks for being friends with a salty boo like me.
I hope you like it!
