Ashrah Coliary

Haven't posted any videos in a while, I know, but I'm stopping by to say I'm alive and commissioning a lot of art for Chronicles of the Realms! Here, we have three Ashrah drawings (including one of her natural demon form and another of her dual form!), two of Sareena, two of Nitara, and one of Ashrah and Nitara being the most badass battle couple ever 🥰 And there's more to come, of course! (To see the artists of each drawing, please check out my pinned posts on Bsky: @sayaashrah.bsky.social)

If you want to read the story of those characters, Eternal Flame, the first book in the Chronicles of the Realms saga, already has a lot of chapters out (and always worth remembering: even though this is based on the Mortal Kombat universe, it's essentially a 99% original mythology, so you don't need to know or even like MK to enjoy it—as long as you like dark fantasy, deep world-building, and complex characters, you're welcome to give CotR a go!): https://archiveofourown.org/works/63099754/chapters/161589157

Ashrah Coliary

Today was a very special day for Ashrah! 🤩🥰 A few weeks ago, I commissioned an Indonesian artist to help me improve her "Balance is a Journey" outfit, the one she acquires in Book 2, because while I liked what I had created, I thought it was a bit bland and could use the insight of a more experienced artist who also had more intimacy with the Indonesian culture, which serves as inspiration for Ashrah in many ways, outfit included.

The artist, Drafru (her Bluesky profile: https://bsky.app/profile/drafru.bsky.social), came back with an amazing concept, and today I received the final artwork! I absolutely adore this new design: the grace, the mysticism, the fierceness, it's all amazing and makes me even more excited to write the sequence in which she gets this outfit! 💜🔥

Then, a while later, I logged into Bluesky again and found that another artist I follow there had drawn Ashrah during her practice session. What a totally unexpected and totally amazing gift! 😭🥺🥰 Here's the original post—if you have an account there, I'd be very grateful if you could show some support to both these very talented people! https://bsky.app/profile/solidpawn.bsky.social/post/3lojr33ppms2a

So, yeah... my heart is veeery happy today! It is so, so gratifying to share my version of Ashrah with the world, and see more and more people connecting with her—her story, her personality, her cultural inspirations, all her amazing layers, with her as a whole! 🥰

And remember, if you want to follow Ashrah's adventures, Eternal Flame already has 14 chapters out! https://archiveofourown.org/works/63099754/chapters/161589157

Ashrah Coliary

Daughter of the late Ambassador Safur Dhalwabi and Musanni, God of Scribes, Tanya has been surrounded by relics and mysteries of Edenia and beyond since she was a child—and a very curious one at that, her hunger for knowledge encouraged by both her fathers.



After Ambassador Safur was killed by Outworlder assassins, the realm grieved his loss but welcome, without much surprise, his daughter as the new Ambassador. Her diligence has earned Tanya a privileged position beside Empress Sindel and Emperor Jerrod, and all the secrets and plots that make the Suêòng Dynasty the most powerful in Edenia.



But Tanya carries secrets of her own, and she is just waiting for the right moment to shed light onto them...



And to go with this concept art... chapter 14 of Eternal Flame:



Mileena sets out with Tanya to the Rúnghàn Forest in search of Shang Tsung's requested flower. But what she finds will make her question everything about her world—including who she is.

Ashrah Coliary

Apparently, some people have trouble understanding even the basic of information, so let me spell it out clearly for them: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT MORTAL KOMBAT.

Whenever I talk about Ashrah, I'm talking about MY Ashrah, the one I developed for months and months with a lot of love, waaaay more than anyone will ever do for her, let alone the ignorant fools at that company. Again, because this kind of language gets the message across apparently, I couldn't give less of a fuck about any other version of her. I actively despise every other version with the exception of the Deception one. My Ashrah is brown, loves to fight, is autistic, has a snarky sword as her weapon, is trans, eventually finds love with Nitara but not before finding her own self-love, is one of the best and most powerful fighters in the universe, and if you want to know more (because there's much, MUUUUCH more, for Ashrah is extremely complex and nuanced and wonderful), read Chronicles of the Realms. But DO NOT come into my fucking channel telling me about what Ashrah is or isn't. You don't care about her story or personality, I do. You didn't develop an entire mythology just for her, I did and am still doing. So, if you don't like what I'm creating, go back to the pile of shit you call a story and leave me alone. And don't bother trying to argue here, either, I'll just delete your comment. You don't get to spoil my peace of mind.

This said, thank you everyone who shows support. My drawing of Ashrah for Trans Visibility Day was the most popular in a long time, and I was pleasantly surprised at that. You are much appreciated, and this is in no way directed at you. Thank you 💜

Ashrah stands up, grabs her flag, and says Happy International Trans Day of Visibility! 💜🙌🏽🏳️‍⚧️


Even though Ashrah doesn't generally subscribe to the idea of labels, she's proud to identify herself as a trans woman and fighting for the rights of her sisters! 🥰
