I don't ship Bowuigi because I ship Luigi X Daisy, I don't ship Powser or Bowsario because I ship Peach X Mario, I don't ship Bowdorf because I know nothing about The Legend of Zelda and it would be more like an AU either way, I do kinda ship Bowser X Robotnik but it's more like an AU than anything since I doubt the 2 universes do truly meet in the normal continuity (and I am unsure if it's actually just a joke ship now I don't like it as much as I used to), I don't ship Bowsley because I barely know Prince Peasly and even if I did he doesn't strike me as his type (I could see him with one of the Koopalings whom I see as having grown into adults with all the time we haven't seen them, though)... I terribly want to ship Bowser with someone but WHO

-we refer to our ravnos, Owen, as "the sister killer" because they drained someone for having a sister, and they miss theirs. we refuse to let it go

-our ST just pulls out a mithras character sheet and makes mithras appear into the scene and kill us whenever someone is having connection issues and we are waiting for them.

-Prince Queen Anne Bowsley fucked up a roll on a formal dance (st learned he doesnt need to make npcs roll as much that day...)

-Vesper is our notorious shit roller. and whenever he does roll good it is almost always a messy crit. but yeah i get the "are you cheating?" joke whenever i dont cringe fail get 0/11 successes type shit or dont fail a rouse check

-on the opposite side. our hecata has NEVER frenzied. and it isnt for a lack of frenzy tests either. we're at the point where we all chant for him to frenzy when he rolls and he never fucking does

I would like to hear about some of your funny reoccurring Chronicle jokes that happened due to little goofs on the part of a player or the ST... for example - Raymond Mulder (@thesixthplaneteer 's hunter character) is canonically a direct descendent of Godwynn (also thesixthplaneteer's Ventrue) because we used the same face claim for them in different games and oops! Let's just roll with it!

If there was one thing Bonely and his boss didn’t expect it was a manifestation of their combined magic and influence.

Enter Bowsley Shadester.

Sporting a look similar to both Black Hat and Bonely, Bowlsy prefers bowlers and neckties to top hats and cravats, but his innate sense and ability to detect and exacerbate oen’s deepest desires into an all-consuming flame has proven very useful in the turning would-be heroes into inadvertent and very potent villains. He has Bonely’s limited shape shifting, but from his shadow, his REAL eldritch heritage shines.

It’s so much fun for him to beat and manipulate people with things they can’t see, after all, who’s watching their shadow when the pitch blackness of his own grabs hold of them? And what about when the lights go out? Who’s to say what your seeing, what your hearing, what you’re feeling, is actually real?

Like his sires, he’s a sucker for the thrill of the chase, the intoxicating euphoria of winning, of victory, of being in control. Everything is a game to him, a clever, game of money, mayhem, and a bit of magic. Maybe after maturing a bit, this wild shyster will show the Boss and his General just how Villainous he can be~

Summer Interlude (1951) d. Ingmar Bergman (poster from Sweden)

In the US the film was titled Illicit Interlude, making the love affair between the two characters sound tawdry or naughty.Of course Bowsley Crowther’s blurb doesn’t help (“a strange youthful love affair”) but what really destroys one of Bergman’s first great films is that in the US the distributor interspersed shots from nudist colony films of naked people lounging around making the Bergman film look really tawdry.  Here’s the US poster for this film below:

[the-family-fortune]

“It was middle of the day, the sun by its zenith. Not a time I knew as an hour for bear sightings, though what I met was certainly no ordinary bear. Alongside my dog, Bishop, I hiked a trail in the wilderness abutting the northern side of Bowsley Park. 

The outing was normal for the first hour, but then at the crest of an incline I was still scaling, Bishop had frozen in a hunched pose, growling at a frequency I could detect only because of my psychic sensitivity to animals. Also he looked like he was growling, because his face was scrunched the way a growling creature would. But it was my psychic gifts that allowed me to detect his unease seconds earlier than an ungifted mind would. 

At this point you might be asking, why didn't my psychic connection to animals alert me to the bear that's surely about the appear in the story? 

My mind is inundated constantly by the presence of wildlife. To hike is to accept a baseline of mental noise aflutter with the idyllic thoughts of singing birds or a fox gnashing at the putrescent remains of woodland carrion. I have senses bears before, but without experience to gauge their proximity. 

As I caught up with Bishop, I knew to approach the situation with caution whilst gleaning what intel I could from Bishop's mental energy. What I knew for certain was that he was troubled. Again, I'd like to stress, I knew this in a way that was heightened by our psychic connection. Anyone can look at a growling dog and imagine they are troubled by something. But I do not need to imagine. I knew. 

Atop this particular ridge I matched my eye-line with Bishop's, and it did not take long to see the looming titan of a beast glaring through trees like a seething convict [grimaced] behind prison bars. 

Then it made an aggressive move. 

Not physically, but telepathically. Though I was caught off guard by the potency of this bear's psi-abilities, I did not flinch, for doing do would invite the bear to make pursuit and kill us in one swipe. Again, I'm speaking in the realm of psychic energy. If the bear had charged us in the world of the corporeal, then we would have been killed in a matter of seconds. 

However, I did have a defense ready, for this was not the first occasion on which I had to stand ground against the threat of an animal. 

Earlier in my life I accidentally encroached on the territory of a hostile muskrat who chittered at me with unnerving bloodlust. This was when I discovered my latent psychic power of being able to soothe the emotions of disturbed critters. I always knew that if push came to rabid mauling, I would rely on this "animal whispering" to claw my way out of any potential clawing. 

I'd never had cause to employ this power on anything larger than a coyote, until this fateful hike. The bear glowered at Bishop and I through the edges of its eyelids, such intensity for such tiny eyes! And then like a blastwave, a surge of its mental ferocity shot out to crash against my psychic bulwark, knocking Bishop and I backwards at least one or two inches. Bishop yelped and hollered while keeping within range of my psychic protection. 

The bear cocked its head slightly as if confused, perhaps never before having met a mental warrior so capable of matching its ability. It was in this”
