EXCITING NEW TOURNAMENT.

I collect every single named character in septimus heap and make them fight and u all get to participate <3 just submit any character as long as they have a name. I don't care if they're a main character or not. If they have a name then put them in the poll <3

There's going to be ideally a bracket for every book + one at the end where all the winners get to fight. That's why I need u to say what book they were introduced in in the form it's so I can sort them like that

Propaganda not only allowed but HIGHLY encouraged this is the dumbest idea I've ever had I need smth to make it even sillier

Rules r in the form but also extra rule. U have to be super niceys to me or I'll cry <3

Something I don't like about a lot of Vox takes I see is that they tend to portray Vox as someone who's unpleasant to work with and has weird ideas about what partnership means when really... he's not? He's not and he doesn't. It's just that two of the most prominent interactions we've seen him have are with Valentino(who is a fucking NIGHTMARE to work with) and Alastor(a man he has undisclosed, deeply emotional history with). But everyone seems to discount his OTHER important relationship: Velvette. Which by all accounts, is INCREDIBLY normal.

Like, yeah, their first interaction opens with her yelling at him, but that's less about Vox himself and more about Valentino. As they keep talking throughout the first bit of the episode, she starts calming down, and they just seem to genuinely get along? She has every right to look upset during Stayed Gone because Vox is being really weird and she's nOT THE ONE WHO ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED HIM TO DO THIS SHIT(staring directly at Val rn), but even then during the meeting after Stayed Gone she does actually. Participate. Unlike s o m e people. Despite being on her phone the whole time(which is literally her job-), she actually pays attention and contributes real ideas! Which tbh she didn't have to do at ALL like she did not have to put up w/ Vox's bs in RKtVS the way she did. There's also their phone call during the overlord meeting which, while I definitely think Vel was playing it up to annoy Carmilla, still sounded like a conversation between two ppl who genuinely like and respect eachother!

No matter what you think their relationship is(romantic, platonic, etc...), Vox and Velvette seem to get along REALLY well(outside of Alastor-related incidents). Like, better than either of them do with literally anybody else in the show. Vox & Val do LIKE eachother, but I find whatever the fuck is going on beneath the after the battles & masterless cattles to be DEEPLY upsetting to think about for too long(ex; any of my other posts abt their relationship), and the only other interactions we've seen either Vox or Vel have are Stayed Gone & Respectless, which are literally just song battles. Both of their only interactions outside of the Vees have been song battles. Aw fuck I'm getting off topic... BACK TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP AS COLLEAGUES- okay uh basically, I don't think they would get along this well if Vox was a terrible person to work with(note I said WORK WITH. Hate that I need to specify this but I don't think Vox is a good person overall, just a good business partner). I think Velvette is generally a good bench mark for both Vox & Valentino's relationships with other characters because she's their equal, their friend, and isn't in a weird toxic relationship with either of them. Their interactions with her provide a window into how they just generally interact with people. And based off of their interactions, Vox seems to be actually pretty decent to work with when he isn't being Actively Provoked for shits and giggles or trying to sooth the tantrum of a man child. Also when he views you as an equal and doesn't own your soul that helps too.

Edit: Hiiiiiiii just here to say that now, in the light of day, I don't really agree with everything I've said in this post? I wrote it at midnight while like half asleep so my ability to consider the fact that. We barely know anything about either Vox or Velvette at this point in time. Was kind of impaired I think. Cuz we really don't. I do stand by everything I said about their relationship to EACHOTHER, and I stand by the idea that we should take that dynamic into consideration for character analysis more often, but everything else I'm a little iffy on and I just woke up like an hour ago so my brains still a little fuzzy & I can't explain exactly WHY I'm iffy on it, but just know that I think the conclusion I drew is a bit of a leap in logic at the very least and I recognize that now lol

Various HSR Casts vs Escape Rooms

Summary: Some of the Star Rail characters vs how they’d do in an escape room.

I went to an escape room recently and thought “Sure let’s put characters in an escape room and see what happens”. Also this isn't edited at all. Sorry lol  

Trailblazer (Stelle/Caelus) 

The few times that I’ve been to an escape room, there’s always a reminder and rule that the game is about “brains not brawn!” 

…And the Trailblazer is the reason why

Is somehow a little too convinced that if you just pull harder, maybe it’ll finally open (you’re not supposed to open it) 

HOWEVER, because they are really nosy and like digging around a lot, they’re actually pretty good at finding hidden things that may be the key to a puzzle you’re trying to solve

I can see them just throwing ideas out and shooting their shots until something clicks for someone else to solve a puzzle 

If you didn’t already get booted out of the room for property damage, I’d say you have a chance to make it out of the room together 

8/10 — You just really have to make sure they don’t just. Destroy everything. 

Dan Heng 

A little rough to cooperate with because of how quiet he tends to be, but he’s smart and can solve puzzles 

He’s really good with the puzzles that require attention to details, so two things that don’t seem associated but actually are? He can get that down for you 

Will more likely start in his own corner without being told and figure something out on his own while you handle another corner

If he notices you’re struggling with something, he’ll help and offer suggestions and that’s mostly how the both of you would wind up working together for the puzzles at all 

Also another person you have a chance to make it out with, but really depends on whether or not the two of you manage to overcome the silent barrier 

7.5/10 — Generally good but you know—

March 7th 

Another memory to record down! 

She would have tons of fun with the escape room; it’s just like being a detective from The Angler Mysteries! 

….But admittedly, she leaves you to do the puzzles yourself. You’re the sidekick after all! 

Will cheer you on while you do the puzzle, and more or less take the credit for when you solve it, saying “Of course you got it down! You’re the sidekick to a genius detective!” 

Good at bouncing ideas off each other though, so that’s a given! 

If she does solve anything, it's pure accident BUT she'll act like she totally did it on purpose. 

7/10 — She’s great at support and she just has good energy as a partner! Just not good at puzzles herself. 

Welt Yang 

He’d love the chance to try and do all the puzzles himself if given the chance but of course, with time ticking, he relents to splitting the work up. 

Very good at cooperating that tbh, you’d probably want to work alongside him to the puzzles but…inevitably winds up turning into him doing the puzzle instead BUT HEY WE CAN CALL IT TEAMWORK SURE 

Honestly a good sport in escape rooms, but unfortunately because he takes his time with the puzzles, you either run out of time or nearly run out of time before you make it out 

If you don’t finish, Welt’s more likely to ask for the solutions which. Um. then you can’t come back to the game after unless you really forget how to do the solutions, but I don’t think Welt’s really one to forget 

9/10 escape room partner with a -1 because Slow. 

Serval

Oh you know she’s going to be such a great partner for these 

She’s smart. She’s friendly and warm. The two of you are definitely going to make it out of here and it’ll be extra fun!

She'll hype herself up when she manages to complete a puzzle and she'll definitely hype you up too when you complete one

If the two of you stumble on a puzzle you can't solve, she’ll definitely have both of you try to put your heads together to figure it out. 

She's also the one I bet could have a chance of getting the both of you out in record time

10/10 partner but maybe because I'm biased and you can't go wrong with Serval

Gepard

Even despite it being all fun and games, the diligent and responsible face of Captain Gepard Landau is a tough one to break.

He's a little too serious about this because he focuses too much on trying to finish on time rather than the fun of the game

Starts delegating the work between everyone and is constantly the one trying to regroup and fill everyone in so everyone's on the same page about puzzles and everything

Very much continues being captain. In the escape room. 

Please help him ease up a bit he's probably stressing himself out more than anything 

7/10 He gets it done and you manage on time but again. A little too serious even for his own good

Sampo

What are the chances that he leaves you to do the puzzles on your own?

You know him: with the number of times he’s been in trouble there comes an equal amount of times he’s escaped

So to speak: he’s good at escape rooms

…Except he uh. Doesn’t exactly…. Solve the puzzles that the escape rooms set up.

Maybe if you push him, sure, but chances are he’ll play dumb and pretend he’s stuck on a situation and then you wind up having to do all the work

You probably have to keep a careful eye on him because I can imagine this guy possibly leaving out the entrance and leaving out there if you don’t notice soon enough and well. Now you’re on your own in the escape room 🧍🏼

Force him to stay and he might actually give you a winning chance to get out of the escape room on time because of how fast he works. You’ll start wondering if he’s done these before and what kind of situations caused him to say things like “oh yeah I’ve seen this one before.” But hey you’re winning 

Also with how fast he is, there's a chance you could get out record time. But. You know.

6/10 — Seriously. Have a leash on him so he’d stay and solve it. Otherwise he’s out within the first 3 minutes or something. Without you. 

[chibishortdeath]

Simon doodles I drew at like 1 AM or so recently. In an absolutely genius move, my dumbass started getting sleepy and decided to draw him being sleepy too about it instead of just going to bed 💀💀💀💀💀. Literally thought about The Guy before I realized I could (and should) go sleep

[theangelcatalogue]

Bitchs will say "WE WANT MORE REALISTIC CHARACTERS", then when they make a realistic character, that character gets an ABSURD amount of hate

Nine People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

Tagged by @pizza-hats-of-the-world-1882 !! (hope you don't mind me using my main instead of irianeth to do this LOL) :D

3 ships : Uh. Mmmh. Uhhh. The only things that come to mind r remnants from my time i the Elder Scrolls fandom - The Hero of Kvatch/Martin Septim, the Last Dragonborn/Miraak, and. Baurus/Captain Steffan they're random fucking Blades from Oblivion don't ask me why I'm shipping them.

First ship : Man I have no idea. Statistically it was probably either Ewilan and Salim back when I read the Ewilan books as a kid, or a ship from the Knights of Emerald although I couldn't tell you who.

Last song : According to Spotify, it was Let the world burn by Chris Grey. According to my phone, it was The City Gates by Jeremy Soule.

Currently reading : Life in a medieval village by Frances & Joseph Gies. I am very slow. It's not bad, it's interesting, I just can't fucking focus on shit.

Last movie : Haven't watched movies since the other time i visited my parents sooo it's still A Better Tomorrow by John Woo lol

Currently craving : Beer, which is a terrible idea. Luckily I am in pyjamas, and i have commitments tomorrow which means I won't give in.

Tagging : uhhh I don't think I know 9 people who are chill with being tagged. Anyway i'm bothering @logarithmicpanda @psychofullmoonwerewolf @lee-thee-bee @strawberry-possum @isabellebissonrouthier @nerdlemons

[purpleshadow-star]

I'm watching this girls review/talk about all of the Percy Jackson books, and tbh I've never seen someone with so little media literary. She's turning me into a Jason Grace defender, and I don't even care for Jason that much.

[picklesthenonbeanary]

Currently working on a random doodle sheet of fan art and also a draw of the best boi’s (promise it will be done eventually, I just need to draw shakes head (and shade it) and I’ve been avoiding that, it looks hard to draw ok!!!). Any suggestions on what I should draw next? Currently been drawing lots of Kirby fanart doodles but I can do other stuff too (cough cough dwtb cough cough). Anyone have any recommendations on what I should draw?

[noornight]

I like her glasses

[cylonbarnes]

Jade's reaction to everything is probably my favorite part about the finale. Don't want to throw spoilers yet since its only a been a day, but just her response to literally all the things that happen in this episode. She's the best.

best jade moment, other than "okay, this conversation is over" is the long up-down look she gives kit in her new armor. very mmhmm that's my girlfriend

[threefuckencrowsinaleatherjacket]

I’m never gonna get over the guy in s3e15 who, when asked if he wanted to catch the guy who stole his kidney, asked if it would get him his kidney back and when he was told no decided he didn’t care that much ab catching the guy bc what’s the point

[deeply-unserious-fellow]

Hi! Remember that time I shared my hopes and dreams for Zombies: Re-Animated? Well all the news has given me more thoughts about it! So here they are :)

I want Zeddison to stay together and happy the whole time. There is no more drama to be found in that relationship. It was cleared up in the second movie. I also want Bonzo and Bree to stay happy. Just use one of the new couples like Wyatt and Eliza or Willa and A-spen for relationship drama since they still have to fall into a steady dynamic(but also dont break up Willaspen either-)

I hope they expand on Bucky's appearant friendship(or whatever the fuck they had going on) with the main 3 werewolves from the last movie. I think that would be neat.

I just generally want more focus on non-Zeddison characters tbh. A show is a great place to explore huge ensemble casts like the one Zombies has built!!!

Silly shenanigans 2: Electric Boogaloo

I want a Frankenstein episode!!! Again, not because it'd be good, but because it would be a HOT FUCKING MESS-

I want. The songs to be good. Please.

I know the shorts are gonna be 3D animated, but I hope to GOD the main series is 2D. I know its unlikely, but that kind of medium change has been done before so like!!!

Tbh I just rlly wanna know the context behind that scene in the trailer where Zed just fucking dies. I think that'll be pretty funny.

WIZARDS. I WANT THEM TO INTRODUCE WIZARDS. I WANT THE WIZARDS TO BE INCREDIBLY SILLY AND WHIMSICAL. GIVE ME WIZARDS IN THE ZOMBIES CANON

Creative visuals!!! This franchise specifically would be a great place to do some really fun and wacky visuals since, if there's one thing Zombies is good at, it's coming up with really distinctive and interesting(/pos) visuals!!!

[hauntingblue]

Oh that sheet metal eating little fish should be dead by now

[shywhumpauthor]

What is your favourite Whump trope? And! Follow up, what is your favourite Whump scene to write??

Hmmmm

It changes by the day haha

I’m really into scars right now, especially visible ones. Like facial, neck, hands, etc. Constant reminders of the trauma and torture the Whumpee had to face, not just to themself but to everyone else. Especially if this Whumpee is in some leadership position, like in a team situation, and everyone else is just constantly wary around them. The Whumpee has learned to avoid long conversations or any non essential contact, isolating and only making the dynamics worse.

That or a Whumpee who is in some sort of situation with a caretaker that’s unable to really help them, particularly if they’re from the other side. Like a Hero Whumpee in a villain’s lair, and a henchman wants to help but they can’t actually do much of anything.

Also I love your typical power imbalance tropes, a Whumpee who used to be powerful/influential reduced to nothing (particularly with royalty dynamics paired with public humiliation), your good old fashioned whipping and torture, branding, there’s so many lmao

To write? Now that’s harder. While I love all of these tropes, some of them are just difficult for me to write in terms of complex dynamics or just plot. If I were to start one with say, the royal/powerful Whumpee, I would need to go so much deeper than just “they used to be royal”, and I’d get caught up on that for so long I wouldn’t end up writing it. So I guess I’ll just say power imbalances in any context really, because that’s always so much fun to exploit (as you can see with Noah and Declan, Kaden and Mathias, etc lmao)

[rainybraindays]

I don't think I understand the obsession some fandoms have with stripping interesting complex characters down to their barest bits and throwithe rest away, especially when they either lean into only the negatives or postives of them.

Like personally I don't want a character thats shown as endlessly compassionate selfless and kind, who can't take or face any consequences and only ever has the purest of intentions. I also don't really want a character who's just entirely selfish, who has not patience and cares for no one in their life, not caring if they hurt those around them.

I'm not saying those are necessarily bad characters, hell there are a few I like, but they're so...bland most of the time? And incredibly hard to get right I feel like because they don't really have a broad range of characteristics to work with.

I LOVE characters who only have so much patience, but stretch it to its absolute limit for those they love. Who do things not just to help others but because it can also benefit themselves. Characters who don't mean to hurt people they love but they do, and now they're being forced to deal with what that means for their relationships. Characters who misspeak, or word things wrong, characters who make mistakes, and are actively being set up to grow and learn from said mistakes.

It's just wild to me that we have characters like that, but fanon interpretations always turn then into these hollow shells.

Hes fully evil, everything he does is for himself and no one else, they'll say about a male character who has trauma and is clearly just trying to survive by whatever means necessary, gaining more trauma for himself.

Shes wholly good, and she has the purest intentions, no one understands her they'll cry about a character who is actively hurting people unintentionally through their actions because they're young and dumb, and trying their best but ultimately stumbling.

Its just so boring and I don't understand the obsession with all but ruining interesting characters to make them idk, more palatable maybe???
