OC intro: Loucas (LONG)

Since I’m starting out here on Tumblr, might as well make my first post a big one!

Gonna gush extensively about my dnd character and personal Blorbo, Loucas!

(Reference by @dcsart . Show them some love! They make INCREDIBLE and tasteful R18+ comics, games, and illustrations with lots of LGBT+ representation!)

When I first got into tabletop games about 6 years ago, I went through a gauntlet of hellishly bad games filled with all the folks you hear about in horror stories, but I persevered until I found a group of really good people I could mesh well with. They reignited my imagination, made me feel inspired and respected, and put innumerable smiles on my face.

What I am about to recount to you is the story that we have been forging together for almost 4 years now, and that still hasn’t even come close to its end. All worldbuilding is thanks to @chaosyubel and their incredible ideas.

The world they made for me and my friends is a high-fantasy wonderland where overpowered heroes can be found around every corner, people trip over legendary artifacts in back alleys, and gods roam the earth like casual pedestrians. The power levels are insane, to a comedic degree. As they described the myriad powers and principalities present in their world, I was struck with a bolt of inspiration to create a character that meshes well with the world and carries several complex themes, something I hadn’t really tried before.

As with all the best DnD ideas, my initial inspiration began with blatant plagarization of my favorite media at the time. Take a bottle of Kid Icarus, a splash of Asura’s Wrath, and a heaping helping of Percy Jackson, then shake them all up together, and you get…

The son of a sun goddess, whose chiseled metal body is not actually anywhere near as powerful as it looks, and he relies heavily on the blessings of his Sun Mom- whom he adores- to get through his adventures in one piece.

Quick google for names that mean “Light”, smack and extra O in there so it looks more ancient-Greek, and you get Loucas, Firstborn Son of the Sun!

It was a fun concept that was easily able to slot into the world and mesh well with the characters therein. He knew his place in the world, what he was capable of, and what he wanted, all of which boiled down to “laughably sensitive mama’s boy who honestly shouldn’t be going on adventures if it wasn’t for the fact that she taught him how to throw fireballs.”

Little did I know the emotional goddamn rollercoaster that this boy would be set on over the next 4 years of backstory and character development.

The Beginning:

Loucas’ mother is the goddess of sunlight, Soliel, a generally wonderful lady who makes sure that humans get to enjoy nice things like growing plants to eat, not freezing to death, and seeing. Every morning, she gets up on top of her tower and pushes the sun across the sky. Now, this isn’t some funny little light ball that illuminates the world, this is the 2x10^30 KG ball of flaming gas that we know and love, and she pushes it with her bare hands. This is a woman who could demolish mountains with a flick and punt meteors like footballs.

One day, without warning, the sun simply refused to rise. Her priests and clerics were running around like crazy, praying to her and trying to reach her through spells and other means.

Her response was: “Would you all SHUP UP!?! I AM HAVING A BABY!!!”

The messages quickly stopped after that.

That day, Loucas was born! A tiny little unimpressive demigod with chestnut hair, pale skin, blue eyes, and little dove wings.

The gods of the world hold very tightly to the old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child, and a child abandoned by the village will burn it down in order to feel it’s warmth.” Loucas met almost every god in the pantheon at a young age, from the mighty primordial rulers of the basic elements to the gods of all the little things like painting and table manners. To him, they weren’t lords and mistresses of the universe, they were his aunts, his uncles, his grandmas and grandpas. All the other demigods were his cousins!

Unfortunately, while most of his cousins could lift boulders or command the elements as toddlers, Loucas was exceedingly normal. In fact, he was kind of a runt. While it would be classic young-adult fiction to say that he was relentlessly bullied by all of his peers, the truth is it wasn’t so bad. Yea, kids are mean, but he still had plenty of friends. Even when his cousins would mock him, the gods saw a lot of promise in how attentive and focused he was, and praised him for his cleverness.

He grew up being mostly introverted, living alone in his mother’s temple while she pushed the sun across the sky every day. In his spare time, he wound up picking up lots of hobbies. He learned to cook, clean, and play the guitar. He read extensively on topics of magic, mythology, and philosophy. Loucas even collected magic wands, staves, and other items, though he didn’t have the aptitude to use them. His divine family members would come and visit him daily so that he wasn’t totally unsupervised, teaching the young boy about their role in the world, and sharing the things they treasure with him. It’s the reason why he became so well-rounded with many talents.

Trouble Brewing:

Though he grew in wisdom and understanding all the time, he never got stronger. Loucas had some sort of underlying sickness that resembled muscular dystrophy but progressed at a slower pace. At first the gods thought he was just a runt. When he slowly began to have trouble walking, they all realized something was very wrong. Each of them tried to work a miracle or some healing magic, but nothing had an effect.

It was his grandfather MiLaKe, the primordial Dragon-God of Progress, who figured out the issue. MiLaKe is a being made from raw energy, condensed in the shape of a great dragon. His name was an acronym in the tongue of the gods, standing for his greatest ideals: Motivation, Locomotion, Connection. The great dragon embodied the desire of all living things to live happier, better, more fulfilling lives, and as such was one of the most good, pure, and brilliant gods.

His grandfather had noticed when Loucas displayed incredible divine aptitude. The boy mastered godly abilities very quickly. MiLaKe surmised that Loucas wasn’t just a demigod, he was an Empyrean: a being with all the raw potential needed to become a god in and of itself. Only, his fragile mortal body couldn’t handle the overflow of energy and was slowly wasting away.

The dragon-god worked quickly, forging a new body for Loucas from what was once a celestial bronze bell. The god granted their grandchild shimmering platinum hair, eyes made from elementally infused sapphires with gold leaf irises, and etched his entire body from head to toe with magical circuits in the shape of solar iconography glorifying his mother.

Loucas loved it! He ran around, showing everyone in his family that would care to see, proud to look the part of a servant to the radiant maiden of the sun. All the while, MiLaKe kept a close eye on him. Loucas grew very close to his grandfather over the next few years, taking strongly to the God of Progress’ ideals.

Philosophical Growth:

Under MiLaKe’s tutelage, Loucas began to shape his worldview. While the other gods taught him about the world around him, MiLaKe taught him about the world within himself. Loucas learned to understand his feelings and the feelings of others, learning compassion and honesty as the greatest virtues. It was also through his grandfather that Loucas began to understand the truth of divinity: That godhood was a curse.

Gods, in this world, do not rule over their domains. Rather, they are ruled by them. A Goddess of Fire commands the element with great destructive power, but she can never use it to do anything else. She can never BE anything else. She is overwhelming. She is brash. She is violent. She can be warming and illuminating, but she cannot heal, and she cannot hide. Everything she does embodies “fire” to the fullest, and even if she wanted to be calm, rational, peaceful, and safe, her domain of fire forces her to be the opposite against her will.

Additionally, that same goddess may have rulership over fire, but she cannot change it to her whims. No matter what, fire will always be fire. She can’t make it purple instead of orange, she can’t make it cold. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t make it exist without burning something. To make matters worse, every day of her life must be spent ensuring that fire through the world is stable, constant, and functions as it should. Such a deity has no freedom, no choice, no self-determination… for eternity.

It is a fate worse than death.

And so, in all of his years of teaching, MiLaKe always encouraged Loucas with positivity, guiding him to the right choice instead of scolding him for wrong ones. However, there was one command, one singular thing MiLaKe told his grandson not to do.

“Never become a god.”

The Present:

Now, Loucas stands a grown man with wisdom far beyond his years. Knowing the pain and suffering that his beloved divine family goes through every day to ensure the world continues, he devotes himself fully to them in servitude. He hopes that in whatever little way he can- cooking, cleaning, singing them songs- he can make the tired monotony of their Forever a little bit more bearable.

However, there’s still that childlike spark of adventure in him. That deep seeded desire to be more than just a runt… In his heart, Loucas wants to be a hero. He wants to be the kind of person that others will read legends about and sing songs in his name. All he needs is an opportunity.

And that, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, is the START of Loucas’ story! The past 4 years have involved going from there, with so many amazing discoveries, developments, and stories of personal growth. While I can’t even come close to recounting all the tales he’s been involved in, I’m happy to answer any questions people have! Once again, credit to @chaosyubel for ALL the worldbuilding. That man is a narrative genius.

supernatural women week – day four: old school (s1-8) moments for @spnwomenweek​ [Caption: ten gifs showing some great moments from my favourite s1-8 women. -1x09. Missouri hits Dean in the back of his head while he’s being rash with a woman in their old haunted house, and tells her to forgive him because he means well, but isn’t “the sharpest tool in the shed”. -2x10. Ava shows great enthusiasm after helping Sam still confidential psych files, yelling “I’M AWESOME!” and making him grin. -3x15. Bela lies to Dean about her parents while he points a gun at her. She tells them they were lovely people and that she killed them and got rich, not caring about their deaths or what’ll happen to Dean. -4x03. A young Mary notices a pensive boy when she and her father go into a house to investigate a death, correctly figuring out he’s the one who might have information. -4x16. Anna stops Uriel while he’s beating Castiel in the middle of a tirade about how there’s “no will, no wrath, no God”. She stabs him in the neck and says “Maybe. Maybe not. But there’s still me.” -4x22. Ruby shows her true colours and goes into a monologue about how hard it was to have all the demons after her, since only Lilith knew her cover, calling herself “the best of those sons of bitches” and “the most loyal”. She tells Sam even if he’s angry now, he was to admit she’s awesome. -5x10. Emotional moment Ellen tells a dying Jo that she’s right about it being important to kill those hellhounds, but that she won’t leave her alone to do it. -5x19. Kali tells Gabriel that if someone is going to end the world, it’s her. She apologizes to him and stabs him to make sure it’s possible to kill an archangel (in reality it’s a fake archangel blade and a double), all with tears in her eyes. -7x21. Meg tells Castiel and the Winchesters (as the later suspected her of double crossing them) that she’s a lot simpler than they think; that she’s figuring out just one thing about the world: “You find a cause, and you serve it. Give yourself over and it orders your life.” -8x02. Linda Tran blackmails a guy for information, cheerfully threatening him with an audit about the “eurotrash he calls a car”, since she suspects he hasn’t paid the taxes required.]

Bonus: in 8x04 Kate kills the Nice Guy TM who ruined her life and turned her into a werewolf to be with him.

2x10 thoughts and musings

All in all, a pretty enjoyable episode, even though I have to say it could have been done a lot better. There wasn’t really much I particularly disliked and there was quite a bit of stuff I liked, but still… it could have been EPIC but at the end of the day, the execution felt kinda ... sloppy? Which is an ongoing theme with SH when I look back at the entire season. Lots of stuff just feels way too rushed, and lots of scenes and tidbits just feel like they were shoe-horned it for reasons only God knows, cause narratively they don’t make a lick of sense. But as I said, I did enjoy it overall. At this point I’ve just come to terms with the fact that the best I can hope for with this show is that it doesn’t disappoint, and that it provides at least some stuff I genuinely enjoy.

Speaking of:

Jace. The highlight of the episode again. Dom’s acting is just so on point, I was so satisfied with pretty much every Jace scene. And as much as I enjoy to see him suffer (I mean let’s be honest, he’s just so GOOD at it), I just have to say ENOUGH. How much more can that poor boy take before he just breaks? God.

Jace and Valentine. See above. Looking back at the entire season, with the exception of the last 3 minutes 40 seconds of Parabatai Lost (and maybe the end scene of Day of Wrath), the Jace & Valentine stuff was definitely the best part of the show for me. I really wish we’d gotten more of that. I would have liked to see more of Valentine in general, but in his other scenes he sometimes WAS that over-the-top comic book villain. His scenes with Jace just felt REAL. So so good.

I did enjoy Jace being all worried about Alec, even though that was one of the things that didn’t really make any narrative sense, seeing as Alec wasn’t in any immediate danger. Not the kind of danger that would justify Jace’s reaction at least. But at this point I just take any Jalec that I can get, to hell with logic. :-)

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually kind of liked Simon in this episode? Which is… a lot, coming from me. LOL. Maybe I’ll be able to stand him and Jace becoming friends after all. IF the show doesn’t overdo it to the point where he basically replaces Alec, like the books did. But I’m willing to wait and see.

The Magnus and Madzie stuff was cute, and I loved how Madzie willingly pushed Alec into the elevator to keep him save before…well, killing everyone else. LOL.

Speaking of Alec, I enjoyed his scenes and his little convo with Aldertree. Other than that, I wasn’t too happy with the Alec we got this ep because once again he was basically sidelined away from all the action. Just once I’d like to see him in the middle of things, actually fighting the bad guys along with everyone else. Or, you know, beside his parabatai. But maybe that’s just me. This just feels like the books / the movie all over again. (And I’m just not gonna mention the ship stuff -  which should tell you enough about how I feel about it without me elaborating further.)

And finally, Aldertree: I don’t know about the rest of you but that sob story of his just further cemented my belief that he’s NOT who he pretends to be. That story was just… too much. I might have bought it if we hadn’t seen him alone with Izzy when he first gave her the Yin Fen, but that entire arc was just so fishy. There’s no way he’s a good guy with a heart of gold that just got broken. Also, he was conveniently nowhere to be seen after everything was over. If he doesn’t turn out to be Sebastian (and please tell me I wasn’t the only one shrieking SEBASTIAAAAAAAAANNNN at the top of my voice during those last few seconds? LOL), I will be so thoroughly disappointed.

Well, only time – and 2B – will tell. And that means I’ll probably be sticking around for 2B after all. Dammit.

OMFG - the Spartacus season finale!!

OMG. HOW EPIC WAS THAT?

First off, I can't even believe those idiots storm off on their own to fight Glaber's men.

Naturally that can't play out well - but MIRA??? Really????

And I really liked her! I will miss her!

Spartacus' speech is kinda awesome though, same goes for Oenomaus'.

Glaber's & Ashur's - not so much. Gods, I hate them both.

But I'm sure they'll get what's coming to them. I should seriously hope though.

Lucretia & Ilithyia are a bit of a different story. I love their storylines, even though Ilithyia irritates the hell out of me sometimes.

Either way, the cargo ride once again finds me wondering how the heck those two can be "friends" again after everything that happened. I'm sorry, I'm not buying it. There is an agenda here, I just know it (wow, I had NO idea!).

It also once again makes me feel really bad for Lucretia. Ashur - off all people. That son of a.. Oh that won't be happening. Can't.

Spartacus' "burial" of Mira is just plain sad (damn you, Nemetis!) - but his talk with Gannicus is awesome. Gotta love them both.

When Ilithyia sways Glaber to attack instead of just lying in wait, which could well be his downfall

..and makes it even better by setting Ashur up to finally get what he deserves.

.. but then he starts with Lucretia and she ACTUALLY CONSIDERS IT.

Be that as it may, it looks as if Ashur finally gets what's coming to him - which I really want him to have, especially after that last scene with Lucretia again - and I'm already like

-- and Glaber let's him live. >.<

(rhetorical question, of course)

And again with Mira being dead

It's soothing though that now Ashur appears and I'm fairly sure this will FINALLY be the last time we ever have to put up with him.

Love Crixus here (and btw, anyone else find it amusingly ironic that it would have almost been him helping out Lucretia?) and Spartacus' "I find no fault with his reasoning".

I really didn't expect Naevia to be the one to fight him in the end though. EPIC! All of it!

There's even time to savor the triumph, cause the next scene is just Glaber babbling and quite frankly

I do care for the Lucretia scene that follows however. HER FACE. Oh boy..

also

But during that talk with Ilithyia I'm really mostly like

I can't help it. I'm way too much into Lucretia, which is why I nearly get a freakin heartattack when Ilithyia wants to push her!

But thankfully her water breaks and she can't finish the job.

We jump back to the boys and of course it's Agron, Crixus and Gannicus joining Spartacus. The final battle begins. I can hardly bear it.

The speech and the climbing scene are actually a really amazing start. Conquering the catapult and using it against Glabers own men isn't far behind either.

And then the whole Lucretia/Ilithyia thing happens and I'm just like

but not really, of course. Just that she HAD to have some kind of plan. But this..!

And of course meanwhile on the battlefield! Oenomaus!!!! And Gannicus!!!! That's it. Last push I needed.

It's not enough though. NO. Course not! The TPTB seriously want to kill me after all.

So last but not least, there's Lucretia on the cliff - AND I CAN SEE IT FUCKIN COMING - and I'm just like

but OF COURSE IT HAPPENS ANYWAY

You drew me from the depths of madness. You gave me strength and purpose to live beyond the tragedy which betided this house.

You're my savior, Ilithyia. And you mine.
