#AntagonistApril 6. Well, so far, of the people who are reading Eternal Flame and don't know about Datusha (e.g. are not from here and haven't seen me spoiling it all over lol), they all trust the snarky sword! So I do think I can consider Datusha (1/2)

#AprilAdventure 5. Well, I've already shared the Ashtusha meet-cute yesterday, so here's when Ashrah decides to go after Ulorzz.

And when Datusha realises it has no idea what it has got itself into x)

#WIPSnips 3. "Convert"

Ashrah tells Sareena about Datusha... or at least about its power, not about its charming personality!

#WIPSnips 28. “Original”

Ashrah wants to learn more about her talking sword… but there are certain topics Datusha isn’t very chatty about.

Does a sapient, psychic, snarky legendary sword that torments its wielder once it no longer gets what it wants counts? lol

#DatushaCotR

Two portrait drawings of Ashrah, from Chronicles of the Realms, side by side and divided by a black bar. In the first, she has a sad expression. In the second, she's smiling and holding Datusha, her keris-shaped sapient sword. Above, the caption says, "Picture of a woman with and without her sword."

A quick and silly drawing of Ashrah (and Datusha!), inspired by a post that @ricoreachthorne.bsky.social sent me 😆

(And yes, this is my first Ashrah meme 😅)

“Seems like they want some fried elbhyr for their next meal.”

Yes, one of my goals in this editing phase is to lean more into that Datusha snark 🤣

a close up of a man 's face with his mouth open and a surprised look on his face . Alt: GIF of Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn sticking his tongue out and shaking his head wildly while looking at a mirror before turning to run away.

Now, for #DatushaCotR, which I believe might have inspired our friend Charlie at least in parts to ask this question... 😂 This should captures so well Datusha's absolutely chaotic nature, which we don't get to see much in EF, but that most of you are aware of already 😅 (6/9)

Oh, adding: Datusha is aro/ace, finds the very idea of gender repulsive, and thinks all this stuff about romance and sex is incredibly disgusting and barbarian 🤢

#DatushaCotR

Also, last one: Quan Chi is, too, very gay (spoiler? Maybe!) #EmissaryQuanChi

😁

From page 39 of Eternal Flame, where the story has barely begun 😅

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #DatushaCotR #WriteSky

Ashrah would ask in her very direct, no-nonsense way.

If that failed, she would threaten with physical and magical harm.

If that failed, she would let Datusha do its job.

#QueerWriters Line Share: "Perfect"

A feat that, until mere moments ago, seemed inconceivable. But now Ashrah had the perfect weapon.
And she had her will, sharper even than her new sword.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #DatushaCotR

#WIPSnips 2. “Perish”

Datusha tries to convince Ashrah to do something she doesn’t want to... and in this case, the sword might not be wrong.
