“ are you alright ? you look like you’ve seen a ghost. ”

[ hear me out: i’m throwing my michael @bitterborne at charlotte while he’s helping his dad with remnant collecting & general pizzeria security bc yknow. nothing more fun than trying to play oblivious when charlotte is literally suffocated by the ghosts of his crimes ! !!! ]

halloween-themed starters | always accepting ! | from @bitterborne | “ are you alright ? you look like you’ve seen a ghost. ”

she feels like she's just been electrocuted. there's a buzzing under her skin, like her veins are honeycomb, like she's a nest. carrying around histories not her own, little bodies with tiny hands, memories crawling into all her empty spaces, filling the spaces that she couldn't afford to give. it's not exactly subtle. not a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of moment. not like the shivering silhouette of a small body that was just behind him, that flickered out of existence the moment she focused on it. there, then gone. hearing them is normal, feeling them even, but not SEEING them. doesn't know who it is, what upset them so, why they want to make themselves known in this way in this moment. but she doesn't take it lightly. it all crosses her face. she's never been one to hide things. ( it would've been pretty hard to hide anyways. )

his question is gentle. kind, if anything. she blinks, looks over at him. michael. wears the same costume, dances the same masquerade. the facade of security is well-worn on them both. she doesn't know much about him, doesn't even know if he's illegitimate like she is, but the question almost feels FRIENDLY. he didn't see them, didn't feel them, whatever it was. her answer is immediate. maybe a little too quick. her first instinct is always to deflect, always to hide. if anyone finds out about her, the reason why she's stuck with this godforsaken company for the last five years, it's all over. she sort of side-steps him, fills the moment with movement, a distraction to get him to not look at her face while she clears up the surprise, the fright. " who knows ? maybe i did. " when she smiles, it's a little forced, trying to cover with her signature wry humor. " you know how it goes, with this place. " and that's not quite as amused as the beginning of her sentence, a little dark with her feeling. bitterness. but she's still moving, the confusion, the worry, not quite gone from her demeanor, toward the space where she saw the little one a moment ago. the door on the other end of that space makes a fine excuse for her crossing the threshold.

viktor x lab partner! reader (headcanons + tiny scenarios)

summary: working with viktor and jayce is all fun until you start wishing your lab partner was well.. your partner.

content warning: minor spoilers about season 1, arc 2 and fluff!!

author notes: im sorry for the waiting!! life has been chaotic and im pretty busy doing things but i've managed to finally write down this adorable request yeey! hope you like it :D

» working with the hextech genius and piltover’s golden boy surely wasn't an easy job. high expectations, sleepless nights, doing experiments and calculations all day...

» at first, it was difficult to blend in as part of the group. jayce and viktor had been good friends for a long time now, and being added as a scientist alongside them in their own lab seemed like something experimental, almost incorrect.

» but things soon started to fall into place. and just like two plus one is equal to three, in the late hours was the time you all could be more free, more like your true selves. maybe it was the sleep deprivation, but it finally felt like there was a little place for you after all.

» whenever you needed to breathe a bit of fresh air and they were too focused on some research, you would go out and get them lunch on your way back. when you return to the lab, jayce would welcome you with a side hug and such a big smile that it could possibly blind you, while viktor would thank you with a little nod and a ghost of a smile on his lips.

» on these lunch breaks, it was common for you to talk about anything and everything that came to your minds at the moment. the hextec, politics and the council, how chaotic or abnormally normal life has been, literally whatever.

“i swear, i can't stand councilor hoskel anymore! why does he never listen to me but when mel says the same thing, then he is all ears?” jayce said while running fingers through his hair, smothering the mess to it place again.

“maybe because you can't verbalize things as good as her?” viktor suggested, tilting his head to the side, taking a bite of the cookies you've got for them earlier. “eeh, i mean, she works at the council for quite a time, right? you're still new to it.”

it was true, of course, but there was one thing they didn't consider yet. “or maybe you just ain't a woman!”

“surely a smart remark, i must say.”

“NO!”

» of course there were times where you could be more relaxed, but almost everyday was the same: calculation, experiment, malfunction and all again. it was frustrating, but worth it. after all the failed prototypes and explosions (so many explosions), now it is finally working.

» also, going on all nighters is a common occurrence (but jayce can't work through the night, because in the day time he needs to attend on the council and can't be late, so the boy needs to sleep early) and when this happens, you often go get you and viktor a mug full of coffee and then continue working on whatever you've been up to.

» oh, and the hexcore. magic and science at once. runes and mathematics all together, the almost impossible and so ethereal dream.

» to be able to study it this close was one of the best things that happened to you, to see, understand and manipulate hextech was incredible. the soft blue light it casted on the lab walls was beautiful, but to see it shine against viktor's skin was a delightful sight.

» his disheveled hair, dark circles, cheek bones. all of the shadows in the right places. the shining amber eyes, his nose and, oh, janna, his mole, the one just above his lip. it drives you insane. like it was luring you into locking your lips on his.

“why are you looking?” he asked, still focusing on the source of the light in front of him, molding its runes, the core moving along it. “studying?”

“yes, yes!” your tone more high pitched than you intended to. shit. “just studying the... hexcore.” you tried to remain your voice at a normal level again, inhaling and exhaling to calm down.

pulling his goggles up, he let his head fall back, laughing, “i'm just messing with you,” he looked at you from between half closed lashes, smirking, “good to know you like to study this.”

» the stealing glances, the absolutely profissional soft touches, the desire for something more, something you couldn't quite have. godness, if you could use hextech to solve your love equation, you would. maybe it would be easier to focus on work with a little magic.

» but it was so hard to focus while he kept looking at you like this, calling your name so sweetly, brushing his fingers on yours whenever you handed him something. you were head over heels for him but why does it seemed so hard to just tell him how you felt?

» again, this love equation was a confusing one, but you wished that the cup of sweet milk you left alongside a little sticky-note saying “you + me = date?” for him to find on his workplace was enough to be called a confession.

» now, you were almost ready to head home, but first you needed to look for jayce and update him about the research you've been working on lately.

» and after doing so, you headed towards the academy's lockers, unlocking yours, sending the same sticky-note you left on the lab flying to the pale ground. when you picked it up, you noticed some words written just below yours. “this is an easy one! the answer is yes. so... at the coffee shop near the academy, at 4pm? – v.”

[devoted-tiefling]

a/n: a stupid brain rot thing that was inspired by my post here ft. my completely blind tav who is a tiefling druid with a propensity to dream

warning: spoilers for act one of the game

You rolled the ring around in between your fingers like a coin, turning it over on the backs of your fingers, flipping it side over side.

Though it was made with cheap metal, it felt warm in your hand instead of cool. Probably because you held onto it so often.

Normally, you wouldn't have been able to read what was on it but the infernal was carved in well enough that you could feel the grooves of it under your fingertips.

Most of it was just nonsense; runes taken out of a fairytale book perhaps or maybe just symbols that kid took a fancy to.

The infernal, however, on the inside spelled well-wishes; love, luck, protection. it was the wish of every single tiefling ever born since anyone could remember.

Just running your finger over them made you feel warm, made you feel understood and maybe just a little bit less lonely.

"And what are you up to, darling?"

You knew that voice to be Astarion and all his rather sassy glory. Immediately, you smiled, sitting up a bit straighter as you felt him sit down next to you, his thigh pressed tightly against yours.

"Just fiddling, biding time." You answered easily enough, shrugging as you continued to roll your finger around the inside of the ring.

Astarion hummed, sounding like he was trying to seem uninterested when, truly, it was always the opposite "Why do you always do that?"

"Do what?" You asked only to answer your own question "Oh, play with this ring?"

"Yes. Look at it. The gold is slowly flaking off!" Astarion huffed and you could imagine him rolling his eyes "I hope you didn't give those tiefling brats good money for a phony gold ring."

You let out a little tittering giggle before holding out your free hand. Astarion, so used to you now, automatically put his palm against yours.

"Feel the grooves underneath." You guided one of his fingers into the ring.

You knew approximately where his finger was so you knew what word it was he was feeling for "Hope."

You let him run his fingertip over that for a moment before turning the ring more "Shelter."

Then, the next, just as carved in as the last "Protection."

On and on, you showed him the small miniscule words that carried heavy meaning to them. Love, luck, kindness.

Six words that probably meant a whole lot to those kids.

"The brat told me it was a ring of infinite wishes but, really, it was a ring filled with their wishes." You let Astarion pull away and, like always, you immediately missed the comforting press of his body against yours.

"What a load of horseshit." He chuckled but your perceptive twitching tiefling ears immediately heard it for what it was: a bluff.

You didn't think Astarion realised it but you knew he saw himself in those tiefling kids.

You knew that, if it had been him 100 or so years ago, he would've carved his wishes into metal in a desperate hope that, perhaps, some higher-power would hear him out then.

So, despite how you'd practically kept the ring in your fist ever since you'd gotten it, you felt around for Astarion's hand yet again and placed the ring snuggly into his ring finger.

Astarion let out a soft scoff "I hope you don't think I'll marry you if you're proposing with such a cheap ring."

You laughed again, tittering, soft, before leaning in, your lips brushing against Astarion's jaw "I want you to have it so your wishes come true instead."

"Oh, darling, if my wishes came true, the world would truly become an insanely dark place." He countered your sincerity with his own little quip but you knew he appreciated it because his calling hand wrapped around your waist and pulled you closer.

"I wouldn't mind as long as I'm by your side." You snuggled in while being careful of your horns, happy to indulge in the intimacy Astarion was allowing you "It's not like I'll see first-hand what dastardly deeds you're up to anyway so I'll have plausible deniability."

The way Astarion laced his fingers with yours and laughed made the bad joke worth it. You especially enjoyed the new chill the ring on his fingers took on, comforting and smooth against your skin.

[wings-of-ink]

Ok on a scale of one to ten how good are the RO's at cooking/baking? What's one thing each of them can cook/bake really well and one thing they can't cook/bake at all?

Oh, I love this question, Anon. I'll score baking and cooking separate. Some people, like myself, have a knack for cooking over baking. One is an art and the other is more of a science, I think.

On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best baker or cook, I'd say...

Oswin:

Cooking: 7 - He's made a lot of his own meals since he was a teen and he's learned a lot. Makes a mean roast with lots of veggies and fresh herbs. Don't ask him to prepare eggs - he never gets them right.

Baking: 6 - He can follow a recipe well enough, but is less confident. Makes a very good and simple bread to go with his roast. He always over-mixes cake batter.

Zahn:

2 for both - "What fire?" They get by making suuuuper simple food on the road. Baking a potato or making a simple porridge is probably the best you're gonna get. Everything else...is risky.

Duri:

Cooking: 4 - They can do it, but don't have a ton of interest. If it's not interesting - meh - they don't care enough. They'll cook a decent steak (as long as it's rare). They try roasting veggies sometimes and they always...kinda go on fire, but they insist that they like the char taste.

Baking: 4 or 6 depending on the day. They really like baked goods, so they have incentive. If they can focus and take their time on a simple recipe, you may be looking at some tasty treats. However, they'll be prone to frustration. The moment the dough doesn't behave - it's over. -Will make some pretty good cookies. Duri cannot make bread to save themselves - the dough drives them insane (and it's all over them, the counter, and the walls for some reason).

Rune:

Cooking: 3 - uninspired, no flavor, not enough salt - but looks great. Nothing they cook comes out especially well or bad since it's all basically the same.

Baking: Solid 7, maybe even 8. There's a pattern to baking and that suits them the best. Quite good with cake, especially if it needs decorated. Their worst is pies - fruit doesn't belong in there, they say - why would you even want gooey-squishy fruit with pastry!?

???:

Cooking: 6 - he's pretty average here. Makes decent stews and fried fish. Bad with potatoes - never gets the salt right and their either over done or raw.

Baking: 10 - no soggy bottoms here - he's an amazing baker. This is an area he can get lost in. The smell of yeast takes him home. He makes the best bread - any kind - it's his favorite. (bread is also easily transportable within pockets) His weakness, if you can call it that, is probably cookies. They are still delicious, he just doesn't have the patience to make little individual treats. You're getting one giant cookie and that's that.

Thank you for the delicious ask, Anon! ^_^

[vigarioamelia]

there are a lot of tragic characters in elden ring (pretty much everyone lol) but godwyn exudes a kind of Shakespearean tragedy that just makes me feel so bad for him

godwyn the... betrayed

do you guys remember that trend? jupiter was supposed to be a star but failed?

alexa, play the old doll audio

i'll be talking a lot about godwyn so uh big words trigger warning i guess

Godwyn the Golden, the first child of Godfrey and Queen Marika the Eternal and also the first Demigod known to ever perish.

He was the first descendant of the Golden Line and one of his traits is *literally* being friends with dragons.

Whenever he's mentioned, grief is involved. Both the grief of a Mother and the grief of the people.

He was part of the Golden Order, but we know for a fact he was no maniac for its fundamentals, given the genuine bond he had with Fortissax, for example.

I know we can't really Know this stuff but come on, Godwyn seemed like a certified Big Bro™. He gives the feeling of how pure a person should be. Royal blood – of the purest kind! From the lore we have of him, it appears that he really was The ideal prince.

I like to believe he was particularly fond of the Omen Twins and that, even though they grew up in completely opposite worlds from each other, he was always sort of There. Better than Marika, that's for sure. Just imagine big bro Godwyn taking his baby bros for a tour around the capital. They spend the entire day running around and Godwyn looks so peaceful that the twins can't help but feel that too, if only for a moment.

Not to mention the tender relationship he probably had with the cursed twins.

When Godwyn's spirit was slayed during the Night of the Black Knives, he received a fate worse than death itself: the curse of living in Death.

He who should be crowned golden as the Lord among them all was crowned in ruin as the Prince of Death.

Godwyn will not only never die, but he will never live again. His existence is a terror that punishes the roots of the Erdtree, a thing that not even Miquella was able to stop or help in any way.

This once sweet and kind and beautiful lord is now nothing but a creature spreading across the land.

When both Miquella and Fortissax failed to give him a proper death and rest, what then remained of his body was laid under the roots of the Erdtree. A bit fair, isn't it? First of the Demigod, ruined and buried under the Erdree, where he will slowly but certainly cause destruction and despair all across the land, bringing death to all it touches.

It kills me that the place where he's buried is so dark and lonely and scary. The Godwyn before the Rune of Death was assured to have dozens if not hundreds of statues and paintings and churches and whatever to honor him.

But Godwyn the Golden ceased to exist. There's no one left to adore or admire or cherish. The only thing left is Godwyn the Prince of Death.

He's now worshipped by the undead, Those Who Live in Death, as D calls them. Is there a more tragic end for a royal who was once beloved all across a golden capital?

The only way to change his fate is to make things even WORSE.

Restore the Elden Ring with the Rune of Death and he supposedly comes back again, but. Oh. My. Fucking. God. I would literally go fucking insane if I first opened my eyes to the world I cherished and grew up on completely destroyed by MYSELF without my damn consent.

If he became Prince of Death by his own choice? Fucking sexy. I would support him. SLAY (literally).

But this? My man was ROBBED.

Imagine being "reborn" (in death) and realizing that EVERYONE from your life is dead. The place where you ran around as a kid? Fucking demolished, DIRTY with ashes. ASHES OF DEAD PEOPLE.

AND YOU'RE THEIR MONARCH.

There's NOTHING to rule and most of all THERE'S NOTHING TO PROTECT.

Literally the worst thing that could happen to a dude.

look what the fuck they did to my baby holy shit there truly wasn't enough room for a blonde twink in the lands between was there

Ohh... Oh,  Lord Godwyn... Such cruelty, such humiliation... My poor, sweet lordling should have died a true death. As the first of the demigods to die. As a martyr to Destined Death. But why must it yet bring such disgrace? A scion of the golden bough, sentenced to live in Death...

i really only have two things left to say:

1. godwyn was too sexy to be in the game so miyazaki gave him the worst fate known to humanity (godhood?)

2. this happened to my buddy eric

[spitsonyou1]

Bloom AU

YES. THIS AU IS BASED OFF THAT ONE FREE MINECRAFT ADVENTURE WORLD. HEAR ME OUT.

Okay so instead of Alabaster getting exiled from the camps, Persephone is like "Oh well I have this one kind of hidden magical garden island that hasn't been checked on in a very long time" (very long time in meaning THE MEDIEVAL AGES. ISTG.) "and I've needed someone to do some cleaning up around there .." and yaddah yaddah the gods finally relent and send him over there.

Now the main point of the adventure world is to proceed from the homestead to the rest of the area, knocking down magical barriers with the magic pollen you harvest from flowers and plants you grow, as well as collecting materials to restore things like statues to get pieces of a story. But we're changing that just a bit.

So when Al is first sent here he is very much clueless. He very loosely knows that Persephone wants him to restore a dumb garden island that seems to have no way out.

He obviously doesn't want to do this. First he tries means of magic to get himself out—no magic. Panic ensues.

And before we say anything else, the gods made him immortal on that island, so if he's off the island, he's no longer immortal. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

"Why would you make him immortal, maggie, WHY???"

Plot convenience

I was joking with plot convenience. The gods just didn't want him to die or something to get out of the punishment.

So he's trying to figure out whats going on, and realizes. Oh shit I'm literally alone FOREVER??? (wow took you long to figure THAT one out Sherlock)

So he's looking around the homestead which is very rundown (unlike in the game, which i think was unrealistic since overgrowth was in ruins) for anything that can help him. He finds a bunch of tools n shit, before running across a very weird plant in one of the rows of planters. Weird as in he can very well feel the magical energy radiating off of it.

Under this planter, he also finds a tattered old book—*insert name of the first book in the game you get because I forgot it*.

It basically explains a lot. How to use all the tools, start planting, and also on a little handwritten note at the end, how to harvest the pollen.

And now Al is gonna be interested, figuring out how to use the pollen's magical tendencies. He starts actually planting the flowers, and the gods soon forget about him because they think he's no longer a threat.

Except for the fact he's slowly progressing out of homestead to the rest of the island, finding out about who was there before him and how Persephone abandoned them (changing up the in-game story), and also on his way to get out of the island. Because who really wants to go insane from no interaction with anyone for the next eternity? Plus, he has all the time he needs.

I will probably elaborate once I get further on the game!

now take my doodles.

Here's Al in the AU ^ I decided to put him in a chiton because his other clothes had runes on them and gods take no chances

And also I realized that we have a very weird parallel of both Calypso AND myth!Circe lmao

So yeah 😋

[thelostgirl21]

Okay, so I've just noticed something, and now I've got a ask...

Could it be possible for Magnus Bane - as a Warlock whose father used to be a Fallen Angel - to be able to use a stele to draw runes on Alec's body?

Because yeah, beyond the fact that Alec hasn't been seen with a flexibility rune drawn anywhere on his body before he started dating Magnus...

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD HE PLACE IT ON AN AREA OF HIS BODY THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO REACH IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!

Unless you happen to be a contortionist, and/or have extremely hyper-mobile shoulder joints, please do me a favor and try attempting to draw or trace anything there using either your right of your left hand. See what I mean?

Once you've got that flexibility rune activated, perhaps it would be relatively comfortable to do so.

But without it?! It's like one the worst possible spots one could think of using to put it!

Jace's flexibility rune has been put somewhere stylishly practical that's easily within reach for him, at the very least.

But Alec's?!

I can only think of two explanations for this:

Magnus is the one that drew the rune there himself.

Someone else - most likely Jace - did it for him.

And I can't tell which one is my favorite!

Because, while part of me can't help but think how incredibly cool it would be for Magnus to be able to draw and activate runes on Alec's body...

I kinda love the idea that, at some point, right before Alec was going to head back to Magnus' loft, Jace just decided to grab his stele, lift Alec's shirt, and start drawing something on his left shoulder blade!

Alec: [Trying to wiggle his shoulder out of Jace's grasp, and bring his shirt back down.] Jace! What the Hell are you doing?

Jace: [Trying to force his parabatai to stand still.] Just relax and stop moving, alright?! Trust me about this, you'll thank me later!

Alec: [Reluctantly does as he's told, trying to ignore the stinging sensation.] I've still got a feeling I'm going to regret this.

Jace: [Laughs, as he finishes drawing the new rune.] Oh no, you won't! You're going to love this tonight, and so will Magnus!

Alec: WHAT?!

Jace: [Smugly pushes Alec's shirt back down, and gives him two small pats on the shoulder.] There. All done! It should have a stronger effect and last longer, too, since I'm the one that drew it!

Alec: [Turns towards his parabatai, eyeing him carefully.] Jace, what rune was that?

Jace: [Shrugs.] Flexibility. Oh! [Starts fumbling with the edge of Alec's shirt again, at the front this time, looking for something.] Where'd you put that stamina one again? I know it's around here somewhere...

Alec: [Glares incredulously at Jace but, to his own surprise and against his better judgment, doesn't attempt to stop him.] Seriously?!

Jace: [Triumphantly] Ah! There it is! [Activates the stamina rune, before letting go of Alec's shirt, stepping back, removing his own, and handing his stele to Alec.] Say, would you mind activating mine, too? I've got a group reading at the Book Club tonight that will probably end up late.

Alec: [Sighs and rolls his eyes, grabbing the stele to start activating the same runes on Jace's body.] You're impossible...

Jace: I think you mean caring, thoughtful, and the best parabatai in the whole Shadow World that's looking out for his big brother!

Alec: Uh-huh... [Still pretends to be annoyed, but there's a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he finishes to trace the stamina rune.] How large is that group reading tonight, by the way? Want me to activate the endurance and agility ones, too, while I'm at it?

Jace: [Beams back at him.] Okay, you win. You're the best parabatai.

I'm also amused at the thought of Jace or Izzy just discreetly walking behind Alec to activate that large "calm anger" rune through his clothes whenever he's having to deal with some idiot from the Clave, and they notice his patience is just about to snap!

Still, that "calm anger" be a rune that someone else drew there, and that's typically activated by another Shadowhunter, is something I can deal with just fine!

But FLEXIBIILTY?!?!?! How?! Why?! How?!

"I have a flexibility rune, but I'm not flexible enough to use it myself!"

Good job, Alec!

[patchdotexe]

doip. / 10.4.24: i was paying attention, i swear

von is here! hi von. what's your social security number

(nyx's fiance Von is now spectating! welcome to the Skeleton Crew, we're all insane. also i was running late because i had to see if vikingpilot was wearing the cat ears skin i made)

LAST TIME, ON STORM LORD'S WRATH!: i got distracted trying to stop pepper from eating cables. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im being so good at staying on task. recording means that im being held accountable. i will be strong i did however have to go chase pepper out of my room. tragic

oh no nyx what did you do. everyone is freaking out about something in the stables and nyx mentioned there's a surprise at the bottom of the stairs. oh noooooo hey dauble. dauble did you resurrect some horses. "horses" last night the horses were dead. this morning the horses are now. "alive". dauble is not elaborating. alidaar would really like dauble to elaborate. dauble casted animate dead! which is not a normal druid thing because im pretty sure dauble isn't circle of spores. im pretty sure dauble took a level in cleric at some point with their costume change but

alidaar is finally starting to twig that something is Up with dauble. took him long enough. arepo has nudged alidaar to go get silla whle he and dauble deal with the zorses! dauble is not explaining anything.

i love silla. bottom text.

the fun part abt being the recorded pov is that things like me googling "minecraft zombie horse" is on tape

"alidaar goes 'peem poom'."

(alidaar did Facial Expressions about the situation and i was struggling to find a corresponding emoji.)

im diagnosing dauble with problems. the bpd animal is activated (silla is riding with alidaar) HOW HAS IT ONLY BEEN LIKE LESS THAN A MONTH IN-UNIVERSE. WHAT THE HELL silla is hitting on alidaar a bit but alidaar has no fucking idea. dauble is rolling in their grave

uh oh. there appears to be a Situation on the road. apparently a town evacuated and the townspeople are having a scuffle about it. something happened with the fishermen? stuff's wack with water. --oh, shit, there's kids missing. none of em are able to head back for the kids. GOOD NEWS, ADVENTURERS ARE HERE

alidaar has put sacks on the zorses. we're normal. dont think abt how our horses are green, please

arepo is stuck in his mind palace. alidaar is dissociating. Dauble Is Driving The Bus

(GOD I DONT REMEMBER WHAT THIS MEANS. ITS BEEN A MONTH. alidaar was Attempting To Cope with the dauble situation, and i think arepo had the realization that "oh, no, dauble isnt normally like this. this was a recent change. Uh Oh" because he joined after dauble's magical girl transformation)

HERE COMES THE. WATER?? WAGON?????? okay . we are here to kill the water wagon. got it boss

Silla Has Despawned. goodbye silla. dauble is finally happy

(alidaar got silla to take the zorses and run for safety)

im very bad at theater of the mind when it comes to The Cone (my breath weapons) so we are battling on the overworld hex map. this is fine

I HAVE FINALLY USED MY CLOUD RUNE. I DID IT MOM

arepo's words of inspiration to alidaar: "You are being so normal about all this." wh. why does dauble have higher ac than alidaar. what happened WHY CAN DAUBLE CAST INFLICT WOUNDS? actually i think dauble has done that before. perfectly normal druid

i keep peeking at the sbk discord and everything keeps devolving further into chaos.

(skyblock kingdoms was having an event. the event was "rebuilding parkour civilization in skyblock". at one point everyone ended up in cat maid skins. i was trying very hard to not look at the discord but there were SO MANY MESSAGES)

we have remembered that we are able to incapacitate people. fuck your monologue you're getting tied up

silla: oh no, you're hurt! ;o; alidaar: eh, ive had worse :,D dauble: I Am Literally Dying

arepo writes down "find therapist" in his notes. i dont think any amount of therapy can fix dauble

oh yeah we finally got the title drop! [alidaar voice] what the fuck's a storm lord ..OH. OH THE STORM LORD IS TALOS. OH! LIKE THE GUYS THAT KIDNAPPED AREPO! OHHHHHH

im spacing out HARD. apologies for the state of these notes. zzz

(again. skyblock kingdoms parkour civilization. and also generally being out of it. i COULD rewatch the recording to get a better concept of what happened but i dont feel like listening to myself talk for 2 hours rn)

[alidaar voice] WOAH, ITS ISOMETRIC!

(we reached Leilon! the map is isometric.)

OH . DAUBLE IS NEUTRAL EVIL NOW. SWAG.

[sirensea14]

Now listen 'ere partner, I'mma need that list or mayhem songs 🤠 also I'd love to know more, I've always loved weird ships that come out of nowhere with little to no possibility of it even being considered ( evident by my Marcus x cup ship, I actually don't know where that one came from) and I always love learning about them and why they happened :33

Wait-wait-wait--WHAT??!! SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THERES SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO SHIPS MARCUS AND CUPHEAD? 😨 Now thats... quite cursed... didnt even know that exists...

But anyway here's the songs with some explanation

Bendy songs:

Instruments of Cyanide (DAGames)

My favorite bendy song, i had different versions of this song as an animatic for inky mystery (i want to animate it but i dont have enough skills to do it yet and its quite long) but there's this one particular version in my head where in WitchBrew was singing chorus 1, Mayhem and Not-Cup had their hands as if spinning the cog with Cuphead and Holly on it.

This is the art for it.

Behind the curtain (squigglydigg)

(Watch the mv first so u can get what im saying lol)This one is where Cuphead is henry and alice angel was holly-turning-to-mayhem. Mayhem taunts cuphead about the fact that he didnt manage to save holly from the cog

Alice's Tango (You will be mine) by chi chi

Literally just Mayhem dancing tango with Not-cup. He might be newly possessed since i imagined this with him having a bitter expression. (Compared to the art ones where he is smiling af lol) But yea, but him frowning or smiling and dancing with mayhem is still him dancing with mayhem, no matter whoch expression you or i choose lol

All eyes on me (squigglydigg's verison)

I love the og one, Or3o's version, but the og one's for sarah, it had some sweet evil girl tone in it. Whereas Squigglydigg's ver had Alice with a kind of that evil woman voice which is suiting mayhem. Its about her capturing the questers, tying them to a chair and make them watch her sing as they show her that they suppressed her from the cog. Cuphead manages to escape (Oh no no no no babe, hey!;- this is the part of the song where she caught cuphead loose from his ties) and i then she becomes insane as she sing and captures him back while pointing at him, blaming him for uhh everything...? *shrugs* lol

Are you proud of me now? (DAGames)

Ah yes, also one of my favorite songs. This is about holly and cuphead pulling the cog in replacement of audrey and the ink machine in DAGames mv. They bury the pressure that is put on them the the bg figures (Holly: bendy, fanny and cuphead. Cuphead: vicious,fanny, holly and mayhem) and then Mayhem is trying to pull Cuphead into madness when a memory ball revealed that holly is mayhem that is fully influenced by the cog. Cuphead back steps as mayhem is trying to get at him.

Lemme tell ya bud, giving this into detail is quite hard, but i told ya this the best that i can

Now onto the non-bendy songs!

Show yourself (frozen 2)

Hehe, quite weird to see a disney song here eh? XD but basically, this song is about Holly discovering the powers of the cog and some runes in some kind of old hidden Micco Cave. She followed the light where it leads her to Lukahd singing her and transforming her into Mayhem. The questers appeared at the end of the song and Mayhem raind down a cloud of runes she summoned. Cuphead was left flabbergasted at what happened. Alice's angel runes and bendy's demon magic protects them from the attack.

A sad song (we the kings)

This one is based from the Gala heartbreak. Holly goes into full mayhem which makes cuphead heartbroken as she shows bloodlust. But we also get to see Holly's pov which is cuphead laugh off and having fun with fanny and walking away from her as they talk.

And heres the most heartbreaking part; mayhem holds cuphead in a chokehold with her magic as she floats on her broom. Cuphead looks at her with teary eyes, but Mayhem showed no remorse. She was smiling ear to ear as she watched him in pain. Her memory of being holly and messing with the jokester cuphead is vanishing. She chose to ignore those aching memories because of the pain he caused.

Enchanted (taylor swift)

Aint a swiftie but ngl this song is amazing. Perfect for colly heartbreak. Again, this is based from the gala. Also goes along with the storyline of A Sad Song. But this is more on holly's pov tho. This also includes some moments from the gala, when she spied on the cupbros (cuphead hung her on a tree) etc. and then shifts to mayhem attacking cuphead with regrets carved on his glassy eyes.

All of this is kinda hard to get into detail, i tried my best and thats it. Hope u understand my explanations😅

Meanwhile, heres a WitchBrew song but them in a fight:

Devil's Gambit (fnf: indie cross)

Yes, you read that right, an fnf song XD

This one's cool cuz i imagine Notcup having a bit of characteristics from Nightmare Cuphead's form (indie cross).

Kind of like this.

I imagine him assisting Mayhem of defeating the Questers cuz they were on a hunt for them during the song. Mayhem unleashing her most horrifying abilities and Cuphead shooting blazing hot pink bullets. He still has all of the potion bullets like the chaser, lobber and peashooter etc, its just in pink.

Or possibly theyre fighting sarah, instrument boris and the night terror cuz sarah considered mayhem (and possibly notcup) as anomalies.

Welp, i think ive got it all covered up lol. A LOT was running in my head back then when i was a silent fan.

Holy cuss its 11:30 pm XD i should wash myself now cuz its getting quite late (imstillnotsleepyhelpandimhungry)

Im still wondering how tf did someone got the nerve to ship marcus and cuphead💀

[msommers]

10, 15, 30, 37 for riya, ghilly and jorina!

I FINALLY ANSWERED THEM. I DIDN'T HAVE A CRISIS OVER SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS AT ALL. THANK YOU. // random dnd questions

10) How does your PC fidget?

RIYA — hands gotta be in motion (clasping and unclasping in different positions, tapping against her thigh or a surface, half-effort somatic practice for spells, etc), twisting the Valdivia rings around her fingers, playing with her hair, adjusting her outfit, messing about with the locket or handkerchief her father sent her.

GHILLY — traces the vallaslin on her fingers, gently swings the lantern at the top of her staff while gazing at whatever magic is currently idling in it, tugs and twists loose threads from the various patches on her skirt/dress, draws various runes/sigils/letters she’s seen in ruins on the nearest surface with her fingers.

JORINA — a lot of readjusting her posture/stance, picking at the edge of a pocket, taking out a pencil and fiddling with it, tugging at the end of her braid or fully rebranding the hair if anxious long enough. 

15) How does your PC feel about marriage? Weddings?

RIYA — i have overthought this question to the point of insanity somebody save me. i think this is a case of Riya having not really thought about marriage for herself (not out of disliking it, just avoidance because one too many subtle mentions of political arrangements), but in General she has a positive view on it because she grew up with a healthy example in her parents. they have a beautiful love and partnership, and her favorite part of it is how they’ve clearly communicated what they need/want from each other so there’s never any confusion in expectations. it’s rubbed off on Riya and that’s why she’s so chill about discussions in her relationships, having no troubles communicating expectations, boundaries and needs. i mean if it came down to it, if Riya’s serious enough with somebody for marriage to come up then they’ve probably thoroughly established every aspect of the relationship and she’d be down for it so long as the other party isn’t demanding changes outside of her comfort zone. it’s already a partnership, this just adds a few fun new titles/petnames to use and probably a pretty ring 🥰 there better be a pretty ring 🥰🥰 oh also the other part of the question: weddings are fucking bangers, she wants to attend them all.

GHILLY — she thinks it's cute :’) it's so funny knowing the big chunks of text that flank her answer, but Ghilly doesn't have any strong opinions here. she's a romantic at heart and enjoys the idea of feeling so connected to another that you want to add another level of devotion to it. i bet some dalish bonding celebrations are fun as fuck, she'd vibe with them. 

JORINA — i think marriage is a side quest in Jorina's overarching hero's journey to understand, process, and work through the complicated mess that is her feelings on romance after what happened to her parents. for a long time it was a terrifying concept because her father basically fucking disappeared into his grief after her mother died, and one of the things that got stuck in her head from that was “marriage = committing to love somebody so much that you're entirely shattered if they leave and that's it, you're broken forever ”. it's such an extreme take but it was formed at like age 15 or smth and it was easier to fully lock into it than deconstruct it,,,,but she ends up doing that down the line anyway. because after a few years with Aleksi she has to admit to herself that even without marriage between them, she fully understands that you can feel that kind of love without exchanging vows and rings. there's obvs a lot more to work through there but that's the start of it, and she'd probably eventually land in the camp of respecting that others see it as a relationship goal but it's nothing she herself requires. the commitment is already made, y’know. weddings are like all other social events: she's fine being there for an hour or two to show that she cares and can hold a few nice conversations with the people hosting, then she's fucking out of there. social battery dry. 

30) How does your PC flirt?

RIYA — (i blackout half the time she talks in-game so like. grain of salt here lmao) so much of it is based in being absolutely shameless in her interest/desire. loves to open with direct compliments delivered in an overtly-flirty voice to immediately get her intent across, also a big fan of blatant innuendo (moaning room you will always be famous). the level of subtlety when detailing her intentions depends on the target of her attention and her current patience level. puts an equal amount of effort into the physical approach as well with eye contact, deliberate movement/expressions, brazen touches with her hands. it all comes down to the simple fact that whatever Riya wants with you—anywhere on the scale from flirting just for fun / wanting to tear your clothes off then and there—you’re going to know it within about 30 seconds, even if you aren’t the most insightful.

GHILLY — this one is fucking with me because i can't see her doing any form of typical flirting, but i could see her doing romantic displays like reading poetry or gifting flowers. she wouldn't do innuendo or cheeky compliments, it'd be straight to the point comments on admiration/appreciation and then a proposition if there’s clear interest on both sides.

JORINA — bro so awkwardly i don't even wanna think about it, i'll suffer secondhand embarrassment from my own character 😭😭 she's not flirting! she's gazing and pining!! she's stuttering and leaving the scene the minute somebody flirts with her, she can't return it!!! i strongly believe the only time Jorina's tried to flirt it came out as an awkward but not notably out of place compliment on work performance, then she immediately walked away and it was chalked up to “wow she's real bad at positive reinforcement”. 

37) What flower represents your PC?

flower symbolism aka the bane of my existence because each flower has 17 different meanings depending on which site you visit lmao. i’m just gonna collect multiple for each so i never have to look again for them and can just come back here for future use

RIYA —

laurestine: "i die if neglected"

tiger lily: wealth, pride

marigold: grief, despair, sacred affection

red orchid: fire, romance, desire, passion

orange orchid: pride, enthusiasm, boldness

rainflower: rebirth, new beginnings, great expectations

willow: (french) bravery, humanity; (weeping) mourning

GHILLY — 

purple heather: solitude, admiration

magnolia: nature lover, nobility, dignity

blue orchid: rarity, uniqueness, beauty, spirituality

dahlia: elegance, dignity, abundance, instability

JORINA — 

purple lilac: first emotions of love

bluebell: loyalty, constancy, humility, gratitude

protea: courage, daring, resourcefulness, transformation

white tulip: forgiveness, remembrance, sincerity, "i am worthy of you"

[redisaid]

Today's boredom list is D&D classes I have played, ranked:

Unranked: Pure Rangers, Rogues, Warlocks, and Artificers - I haven't played these and don't want to play them pure. They just don't interest me unless used for multi-classing.

9. Monk - I just did not vibe with monk. It was the first class I played at any length and the first I played in 5E, so you'd think I would have some nostalgia. Nah. Catching arrows is the coolest thing you can do, otherwise you're just punching people and are not great at passing most checks. Hard pass for the future.

8 . Barbarian - These guys are fun. I haven't played one for a long campaign but a few times on short ones. I don't think I'd want to play one long term because it's not super fun for me to just be the dumb smashy smash type.

7. Sorcerer - Also fun, but would not be a long campaign choice for me. Good for rolling a quick caster for a one shot or for newer players to play a spellcaster. Long term games, these guys lose out to Wizards for me.

6. Wizard - I have not played a wizard in a campaign yet, but it will be my next choice when I can fit it in. These fragile little paper boys are full of potential and self-defining game play. Plus, you can copy spells from books! Be that library nerd you want to see in your fantasy world.

5. Druid - I tend to prefer the less-shapeshifting versions of this class, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. If you like turning into bears and kitties and such, this will be much higher for you. Otherwise, the caster circles like Spores and Stars are great, underrated class fantasies. These guys can also have super fun RP moments in all kinds of settings.

4. Bard - Who doesn't love being a little slutty now and then? I'm actually currently playing an unslutty bard, but the point stands. Having the ability to pass many checks, and actually being the best support character you can be is very rewarding to me in general, as well as having an excuse to have a massive playlist for the character because, you know, music.

3. Fighter - Underrated faves. A well-timed action surge and save your party and turn an entire fight around. Battlemasters are insane and another character I need to play in the future. Plus, the versatility! No class is as versatile. Be a battle wizard as Eldritch Knight, or a cowboy as Gunslinger, or a heavily armored Rune Knight with a massive great weapon, all with the same class rules.

2. Cleric - The support character that is actually not really a support character, but a vehicle to put whatever you want into some chain mail with a shield and a mace. Oh, and religious trauma. We can't forget the religious trauma. I refuse to stop playing clerics that choose violence. You can't make me. I don't have to heal anyone if I kill the bad guys before they can hurt people, right?

1. Paladin - No surprise this is number one for me. I love fucked up little paladins in every media, and now I get to make my own. That said, they are both a wonderful support class, tank, and damage dealer in one. You still get spells, but can also turn your brain off and bonk shit. And you can still have religious trauma on top of it! And good charisma, so you can still pass some checks and be the face of the party when needed.

22, 30, 32!

#22 ― How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

He is a very organized person. Has always been, really ; I suppose it mattered more back in his council days, when he had an office and an insane amount of paperwork. However, despite the minimal amount of material possessions he possesses nowadays ( most of them survival-oriented ), he still takes the time to organize what little he has AND demonstrates organizing in other ways, mainly strategically.

After unofficially taking on the mantle of guildmaster in Crime Sorcière, I could see him gather his guildmates for "today's schedule", "brainstorming", "presentations", "debriefs", etc. ( esp. post-OS merge, as there are more people ) Perhaps more formal that it has to be ― and he would definitely reach into his councilman experience/vocabulary for that !

.

#30 ― Most prized possession?

Oh you're stumping me a bit here LMAO. He owns very little. He doesn't have anything from his childhood, and anything he possessed pre-TOH was either destroyed in the Etherion blast or confiscated by the Rune Guards on order of the Council after his betrayal.

I would say that it used to be his Wizard Saint medal ; he took a lot of pride in this title, and wore it on a medallion. ( If he still had it on him post-"revival" at the time of his arrest, it was also confiscated. He was stripped on the title, after all. )

.

#32 ― Concept of home and family?

Elmina & his mother's cottage was the first and last time he had a place to call home. Home was never the Tower ― that was his jail, then his weapon. He dedicated years of his life to its built and he was proud of the final result, but it was always just a mean to an end. He called it home, got his friends to do so as well, but it was mostly to cultivate loyalty & trust. ( Having taken over that wretched place and dubbing it "theirs" was also, perhaps, tinted with pettiness ? an attempt at alleviating the trauma ? an attempt to reduce what had once been a source of nightmare to their playing ground ? ) His headquarters as Siegrain, too, were nothing but a living space where he could rest when in Era for the job. His friends at the Tower, however, had been family. Milliana and Sho called him "brother", and he too would treat them as such ― despite the voice in his head that called them pawns.

Trust had to be built first, but along the years, Crime Sorcière became home too. They may never have had quarters beyond their tents, but that was his place of belonging ― something he would never have fathomed. He forged a particularly strong bond with Meredy, to a point where he considers her a sister and cares deeply for her as such. Post-pardon, he will appreciate the stability, but will still ache for the starry night and the warmth of the campfire. He will get homesick in a way he never expected to. ( Keeping in contact will be very important to him )

Home is just one more person ; fiery scarlet hair, warm brown eyes, the glint of light upon armor & the sharpness of loyal blades. This home isn't one he feels worthy to call his, but within her embrace, surrounded by her scent & her colors, he feels like he can breathe a bit easier.

[concrete-beach-party]

druid grove, part 1

The first real post about my playthrough! woohoo!

So, we made it to the grove. Our party consists of my seldarin drow cleric, my partner's wood elf wizard, Astarion and Shadowheart.

They get attacked 

obviously this is the part where you find Wyll

one guy is BEGGING to be let into the grove like this:

We kill the attackers and enter the grove. I talk to the guy who wanted to flee and the guy who did not want to let him in

he's fucking racist against Drow and states "I didn't ask for help" - my dude, w h a t

Anyways, we reached level 3 and my partner is a wizard, so he was reading tooltips for the next 30 minutes. I decided to explore the grove in the meantime.

Side note: my character is not the smartest and fails INT checks due to literal disadvantage. But! Who needs intelligence when you have 🌟faith🌟?

I helped a hopelessly bad fighter fight a little better, he gifted me an axe for that, so that's cool

a bored oxe wants to talk to me, but I can't understand him

Note to self: We're missing a party member that can talk to animals

People here really don't like Drow. 

I almost got duped by that con artist kid, though the fact that I missed one perception check tells me that the little shits stole at least SOMETHING from me, 10/10 game

then I ran into a creepy little kid and found the hidden entrance to the Tiefling hideout

in this hideout I found the "boss" of the local crime syndicate. As I told them that they're in a dangerous line of work, they basically responded "you're not my real mom" - fair enough, I guess?

Don Tiefling wants me to steal the ritual stone/artifact/whateveritwascalled to stop the ritual. I'll keep it in mind.

Anyways, we proceeded further into the grove, finding out more about the ritual that is about to happen there.

A Tiefling family was missing their daughter because she too tried to steal the artifact. The druids have her.

Talking to the druids revealed that most of them are racist assholes. Like, 4/6 of the druids are like this and I'm confused, aren't you people supposed to be nature loving hippies??

Rath is begging me to find Halsin, because their new leadership (Kagha) is horrible. Judging from the rest of the druids I've talked to, maybe you got the leadership you people deserve. He is ok though and also wants to stop this ritual. So I guess I'll find Halsin to put an end to this madness.

we find a hidden door where we need a rune to open it. Rath is supposed to have it, but he's not talking to me until I find Halsin.

I wanted to pickpocket Rath, but for some reason, that's not possible

Nettie starts off as another Drow-hater, but reveals that's because she recently got attacked by a mind-flayer-infected Drow. Yeah, fair enough, that's why I'm here

Nettie thinks that apart from the whole mind flayer thing, I look perfectly sane and healthy. I try to tell her that's not the case (memory loss, the urge to kill everyone around me), but she's like "nah it's the mind flayer, can't do anything about it, find Halsin?"

Kagha herself thinks that I'm the second coming of Christ, because I'm a Drow therefore I CLEARLY support her goals, right? Sacrificing the lesser people for the greater good? Doing her dirty work? Yeah? Holy shit, this woman is insane. I wish there was a dark urge prompt at this point.

Shoutout to Astarion, who made snarky remarks all the time

That's where yesterday's session ended. Oh, and we sent Wyll to the camp.

[faithfromanewperspective]

this is such an amazing answer thank you so much! not insane at all in my mind (but maybe the best posts are and i've just become desensitised). and THANK YOU. i had been wondering about anna for SO LONG and just--never got that second opinion that says maybe what i'm thinking isn't insane? because there's definitely something. like i love her but she'd do so much better to have a bit of compassion on herself. to know. I think she might be pda like me actually.

and this is a hill i'll die on. james, to me, is definitely a high masking autistic. he's not doing well is he? thank you for noticing. masking helps nobody be Actually Kinda Mentally Healthy To The Best Of Their Ability (but sometimes it is a way to cope in an unfriendly world). poor baby. he'd do well to learn about it and accept himself. to me it'd be more obvious if the herondales weren't already so unapologetically weird. if they didn't have things like energy runes and need less rest as shadowhunters than mundanes do. like i don't disagree with your perspective in any way! we just have different aspects of it we notice and that's what the Peer Review is for!

(is there a deep dive on james coming? i saw a 3-part series on matthew just last night. does his parabatai need one too?)

and exactly! my point is he narrates basically a whole series!! i'm like cassie, you have literally never written a neurotypical character in your life. you can do this!!! please don't accidentally create aspie supremacy 2.0 just because you're scared of doing it wrong (which is the vibe i'm getting!) like ty's povs will be great!! they will give us insight into ty! and specifically how his neurodivergence works for him! you've done that with every other character so well! the worst thing you can do is Oh No Now It Has The Label I'm Scared Of Doing It Wrong. what does that create? 'other'ism. stigma. you know, the thing you're trying to not have?? like go discover your own neurodivergence babe i promise none of us are really that different. you and bro who you're writing ty for aren't that different. you got this <3 (while we prepare ourselves in case of disappointment)

ready to agree with you ty's autistic representation is Probably Not Going To Get The Celebration And Empowerment We Deserve. ready to either vent about that or just ignore it completely, until tsc is just a tiny insignificant blip in your universe, the modern books at least. if that's what you or me or probably all of us need.

and i hope you're doing okay and absolutely no pressure to answer this ask, but i was curious. a little too curious to see what you think: is it just me or does like 60% of the tlh gang come across as autistic to you? james, christopher, potentially thomas, even maybe anna. like genuinely i don't think any of the whole gaggle (it's a big cast!!) are neurotypical except cordelia. even will and tessa don't exactly give off Neuronormative Vibes. like i know it isn't mentioned, but then again it's also 1903??? (and our current merged conceptualisation of the whole autistic spectrum is only from 2013--hate what that means for tda and likely twp but That Is A Different Rant). anyway to me they're for the most part decent, empowering, anti-ableist for the most part autistic rep. is it just my wishful thinking?

Anna is soooo autistic in my mind, her funky fresh gender, slay tendencies, random snake decor, and overall blunt vibes are so not neurotypical

Idk if I ever got autism vibes from James, but he def has like so many mental illnesses that he could have symptom overlap. Honestly, the whole tlh gang is just super neurodivergent w/ a touch of the tism

I do think it says something about CC’s ability to write autistic characters, too. She could totally pull off Ty flawlessly, she understands autism and neurodivergence very well, but she’s just refusing to??? I think she’s just in her own head about it and doesn’t realize how majorly important her autistic rep is

Also, I fully believe that the sudden gear shift to Dru/Ash (for TWP marketing) was because she just didn’t want to have to give Ty a major POV. She’s literally never shy’d away from MLM rep (Malec has their own entire series lol), and the fact that the fandom was delusional about it being homophobic makes me sooo mad. Like, it’s super obvious that she will do ANYTHING to not write a Ty pov. She prefers GHOSTS over him

[sleepyowlwrites]

dear sleepy how do you pick names for your characters it is such an impossible task for me that it makes me want to cry love ghosty

dear ghosty

honestly most of them I create on the spot these days, and if I change them later I save the name in an archive so I can peruse later. I also have the kind of brain that holds onto information that I like so if I find a name or think of a name that makes me happy I don't forget it and then when I have the opportunity later I use it. but since you're about to cry I will now break down options in bullet points because I always wanted to be your hero.

also please get some sleep I think you need it. and not sleepy. I know you always need me, I'm a treasure, but get some sleep also. you work very hard and deserve it. do not sacrifice sleep for naming characters. do not do that. okay. points.

option 1: browsing!

I'll do name browsing and it's like window shopping. I'm not here to find a particular name, I'm here to get ideas and look at stuff. the sites I use are

20000 names behind the name name generator truly endless generators for writing

and there's like, a generator for everything so you could also just search for it and it probably exists

and okay, maybe you are shopping. that's fine too.

option 2: stealing! part 1

steal from real people! people you know, people you don't know, people whose online orders you pack at work if you're me - somebody was named Lucretia Silverthorn, which was insane - people you see at the grocery store or whatever and you're like oh right, I love the name Kenzie or whatever

option 3: stealing! part 2

but this time not from people! I'm a huge fan of "nature names" be that trees, flowers, colors, animals, gemstones, seasons/times of day/months, etc. (evie's last name is veery, which is a bird. all the characters in dirt in the doing pretty much, magick story in general)

option 3: make stuff up! going out for ice cream after window shopping

I have viewed so many names from so many different countries and also my brain just likes making up syllables so it's not hard for me to do the made-up fantasy name thing. some of my characters with on the spot names are:

Zan, Wryn, Rhea, Imire, Jaf, Kena, Kyt, Jemmi, Sardha, Vern, Idrian, Yashel, Dair, Ghand, Eksel, Abari, Myr

option 4: recycling! easier done when one of the above steps is already accomplished

list of my characters with recycled names:

Shae, Jaino, Darsh, Yendan, Erin, Madi, Savannah, Evie, Rune, Yarrow, Alexander

and by recycled I mean from other stories I stopped writing or never wrote, or saved names from the archive

hopefully this helpful list saves your brain or something and you can stop crying and have a better time naming your characters.

love, sleepy

[rinadragomir]

I asked my dorm neighbor to describe TLH characters only looking at their arts part 1
