#Faren’s story

[sadkidwithocs]

“Brah!! Just accept the truth that you’re gay not just gimmick!!”

Little detail: Faren is a lefty(left-handed). [Because I’ve just remember that when I created Seiji(his son)in 2013, he’s a lefty, so his father should be like that too.]

[sadkidwithocs]

This is so interesting I want to answer these even thought no one ask😂I just want to introduce my idea about the one and only wrestling oc, “Faren”

🏁Jobber: Faren was born in wrestling family, his dad/ mom and older sister are wrestlers. At first he was just unemployed biker whose spend free time to ride a big bike with biker friends in Texas. But he must go back to Hawaii after knowing that his sister got injured from wrestling causing she must retired since she was teenage, All of hopes are fall into Faren to keep his wrestling family's reputation continue.

He start training wrestling since graduated from West Texas state University(Like Tito/ Ted Dibiase/ Barry etc.)

In Hawaii, he was trained by Ailani(his dad) and Fara (his sister)

🏁Billed from: Actually he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii but his billed from is Texas, USA. Someone backstage wants him to known as American biker instead of Hawaiian famous wrestler’s son

🏁heat: he’s babyface with all his wrestling life, actually he wants to turn heel as well.. because he knows himself that he’s smart-mouthed, he thinks being heel will has more privacy and opportunity but Pat Patterson not allows.

🏁ringmat: Technician

🏁finisher: Teardrop suplex is his main finisher, he also like Octopus submission but rarely use it bc it’s not fit for wrestling style in that era but Seiji can use this move more than him

🏁 botch: (I’m not sure the meaning of this topic, I’ll skip it)

🏁kayfabe: In-ring, Faren must act like flirty biker whose obsessed with his handsomeness and big bike life.. something like that, he is not allowed to reveal that he is married and has 3 children because he has many fan girls.

at backstage, he is family man and not confident in himself at all, not inly his face and body, but also wrestling career.

Faren’s story is all about backstage story/ road trip, so it’s non-kayfabe story

🏁 When he was newbie, he has ever wrestled in Canada and Montreal for short time and move to Japan at NJPW/ AJPW

He wrestled in WWF about 1986-1995, in mid-card role. He decide to goes back to NJPW and finally he’s famous here. Nowadays in Japan he’s known as Seiji’s cool dad.

🏁Faction: (I’m not sure the meaning of this topic)

🏁suplex: He has shoulder injury but not effect to his career that much.

🏁gold: I don’t have much information about this but main champ is he has ever hold Intercontinental champion once in WWF. But he though it’s but he thought that winning the championship that time was not memorable that much.. Because his role in WWF at that time was only mid-carder only.

In Japan, he has popularity award/ best foreigner award etc.

🏁feud: he has major feud with money inc. especially Irwin R Schyster. Because Irwin said he must pay a huge of import duty tax from Faren’s big bike and another taxes too. (But backstage they are very closed😂and Ted as well, he Faren’s senior, graduated from same university)

🏁tag team: The unconfident person like Faren VERY VERY wants tag team partner since he was debut at WWF so bad. But unfortunately, it never happened to him. He just has ever had temporary tag team partner

His body size/ type is in medium level like Tito Santana or Shawn Michaels, they’re not huge and tall like Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage.. He still wondered why many wrestlers with his size would have a tag team partner but he didn't have one, even though at that time WWF still had enthusiastic wrestlers with bodies size comparable to him, and deserves to have a push like “James Penzel”, the person that Vince wouldn't let him team up with Faren as babyface tag team but told him to has Corporal Kirchner role instead.

Faren has good relationship with Penzel, Penzel always stay humble bc he thinks even though he was U.S. Army paratrooper but still has less wrestling experience than many wrestlers. Plus, Penzel is the real bar fighter, he often protect his wrestling friends especially Mike and Barry(babyface) from bully drunkard. If he doesn't leave WWF and stay here for longer, he might be another member of “The slam fam”,the group of wrestlers who has a big feud with Canadian Mafia, just like Faren and Mike. And yes, nobody can touch Mike even an ants because Penzel is here.

Faren has ever wanted Mike(U.S.Express) to be his temporary tag team partner as well, because Mike is easy to work with/ professional and safe. And yes…finally they can work together, but not on the same faction.. bc Mike is now Irwin and must act cocky as hell in the ring, Faren has a headache about this bitch’s cheap chot a lot.

🏁era: 80s era

🏁Hall of fame: His dad(Ailani) was inducted in WWF Hall of fame already. But for Faren? He’s not Hall of famer yet, he knows himself that it won’t happened for sure, he was just mid carder when he was here, he can’t be very famous wrestler like his dad, he doesn’t expect anything.

🏁Entrance: hmmmm… have many kind of music🤔On fire- Van Halen was cool🔥. But many music style of Rikki Thrash can reminds me of Faren as well.

🏁rival: in-ring rival: Irwin R Schyster

Out-ring rival: mr.Hunter and henchmen

🏁Generation: Faren is 2nd generation, his son is famous wrestler also in Japan(NJPW)

🏁Mentor: Mike, not only about wrestling technique/ cut promo etc. but also family life.. he and Mike are dad of 3 kids

🏁cheap chot: Irwin’s briefcase, not use for smack nerdo’s head but for his fingers😂

YALLLLLLL I canNOT recommend this book enough:

It was so fucking good. Im not good at giving reviews, but basically, if you like reading about gays trapped in space together, you'll love it. The characters are interesting and all that, and the ending had me GRIPPED. seriously, the premise of this story is so interesting. I recommend reading it the whole way thru, even if youre not feeling it at first, because the payoff is just incredible. It was so good. (it is over 400 pages.. but I was still eating it up pretty quickly, and Im a slow reader)

I can't advertise it (not sponsored lol) like I want to because it involves spoilers but PLEASE trust me when I say the premise is so brain scratchy.

I hope you like it if you do end up reading it!!!

An extra doodle before I disappear to go play soto this weekend hngggh I saw the first line because I opened the chapter on Alex and was like ?!?!?!? -grabby hands-

[wilsons-journey]

Every Monday I play Guild Wars 2 with two friends,... and it's a hilarious, chaotic mess.

And each of us has a Faren-Mini. We also renamed our Group chat to "Farens PantieSimps". It's so stupid - I love it.

But I have to ask,... why does this game has THREE different Faren Minis in Pants?!

[imaybe5tupid]

Falin and Faren (father)

As much as we the audience love her, to strangers, (and especially close-minded, superstitious townies like the people in her village), Falin probably came off as a creepy and unsettling horror movie villainous child (for traditional “reasons” like dogs attacking her or being quiet but also terrible bigoted reasons, again…like in actual horror movies…)

Also, in the comic extras, it’s only stated that the dogs didn’t respect her, but I think her story hits harder if they were actually afraid of/unsettled by her because they could sense her magic/affinity with ghosts (like how dogs in horror movies can detect “evil”/ghosts/supernatural etc.) . Their dad was careful and attentive enough to go get professional advice from the city about her magic, I highly doubt he would have just ignored how the dogs treated her, especially since hunting with dogs (and probably training dogs) was his like One Hobby that sticks so much in Laios’ mind. Just one of the eventually numerous indisputable signs that her place is not there in the village. It’s always interesting that Laios is the one who hated his hometown so much, but even being bullied, there was a place for him there if he was willing to play that part. For Falin, who still wants to go visit home after everything, there wasn’t even that.

more rambling and hcs under the cut

I also hc her as trans, and that Touden papa was actually good about this (as much as he has the tools to be), but for a variety of reasons he ultimately wasn’t able (like literally not socially capable and also politically its a difficult situation) to rein in the townsfolk about their bigoted treatment of her, just like with how they viewed her magic 😔 And I think he would have had to be a completely different person to even be remotely capable of doing that effectively, it was just never in the cards for them to all have lived happily there. Him paying for Laios and Falin to go study away from home was ultimately the best solution, and a huge indulgence in regards to Laios bc he really didn’t “need” to go like Falin did. I really like there being this element of tragedy/dramatic irony in how Laios thinks of him, when in reality he was trying in his own way, imperfectly of course, but naturally the outcome still wasn’t good. Just like real life parents 😔 Laios was the kid he Needed (son and heir) in the town, but Falin (beloved daughter who he sees as his only kindred spirit in the town) was the one he Wanted with him. Since I think of them as having very similar unreadable, quiet personalities that come off as creepy/intimidating to strangers or people who don’t know them (eg. how Laios or Marcille struggle to understand Falin sometimes, I think Laios and Touden mama were never able to feel connected to him). Falin understood him and he understood her 😔😔😔

head of the snake 2024 review:

bold move to attack DR directly. kinda want to see this discussed in-game a bit more because it seems like a big deal.

big fan of the ministry guard. love me some little traitors

scouting lake doric for the story is fine until you're forced to do events to progress the story (they already started doing that in ls3?? never a fan of this). the events progress your story bar by like 0.2% (overdramatized)

caudecus manor as hilarious as remembered. whats with all these rooms and all these people in these rooms doing questionable things

"foot key" will be funny every single time

i somehow missed the faren phantasm this time. shouldn't have run into the room killing everyone in sight like a rabid dog

why does caudecus have a portrait of logan. canach makes a comment about it and i may be extremely stupid but i don't understand the implication. does he have a crush??

WHY does he have a mirror on the ceiling above his bed. don't answer this i understand the implication.

and lastly why did they have to do that motion sickness carrousel room. didn't we learn from the bitter harvest spiral (tbf that one was worse)

conclusion: sorta a caudecus fan but also he's more lukewarm than i hoped. needed more screentime. or a longer story arc. that's not his fault that's the entire season that needed a longer story arc for everything that happens in it. anyway rating caudecus 6.5/10

[rumeysawrites]

A fun little writing game idea! Share one of your characters' name and a quote from them with zero context and let your followers (or other people who stumble upon your post) make assumptions about said character. You can post about more than one character but only one quote for each one for things to stay out of context.

How does it sound?

I'll start!

Faren Nitsa Leratis:

"I thought fairies were friendly and playful tricksters who adventure and getting into trouble, not naggy know-it-alls who speak in riddles! Seriously though Adorai! Why can't we join the Sun Festival?"

Tom Taras Nels:

"I'm sorry to break it to you, Rose, but legends aren't real. They're like myths, formerly real stories exaggerated to the point of becoming complete fantasy."

Arwyn Iluthmil:

"Dear fellow Merasians; I have indeed learned quite a bit about humans of Tiria and Yugenri thanks to the missions assigned by Lady Nihynia. And yes, they indeed cannot eat many plants, and any minerals directly....except salt somehow. They are poisonous to them. Therefore, I ask you all, kindly, to not poison them. Please..."

Tagging with no pressure: @dearunreliablenarrator @heycerulean @mudkissedgirl @avalordream @daishitheprofessionalfool @author-a-holmes @illarian-rambling @leahnardo-da-veggie and anyone who else that wanys to join is welcome as well! Go ahead please! <3

With the 10th ESO Anniversary I thought why not show my OC's?

Scales-Like-Ash

The newest of my OCs and my Sona basically. Devout Mora Worshipper and Chitin enjoyer. If you want to know more about him you can do so here

Reezal-Zel

My resurrected Necromancer (ironic, isn't it?). He's the Character with the most progress in the 'story'. I always loved the way ESO handled Necromancer gameplaywise due to the Laws of Tamriel. Also I love the zombie horse.

Faren-darjo

Faren-darjo, my sweet Faren-darjo... He's my Day-One character, being here since the begining when the game launched in 2014 but with the addition of the Necromancer Class in the Elsweyr Chapter I never picked him up again but he still got a very special place in my heart

Thank you Zenimax/Bethesda for this awesome game and here's to another 10 years of adventures in Tamriel!

pick my WIP

yo whats up everyone

I opened up my huge folder of unfinished WIPs (all Tsubasa-related) and lo and behold, I feel energized and interested in working on (at least) one of them. Which one to work on, this is the problem.

if anybody is still following me who CARES about my writing fanfiction, you should help me pick the WIP I should make some progress on. I actually have more than what I put on the poll, but I've only listed the ones I feel like I would want to work on, not every WIP I've ever had.

*Kurogane has two hands, etc.

**Ghost story: It's literally the first scene, so this is not really a spoiler: Kurogane dies in a fight before Tomoyo can send him on the journey. She and Yuuko connect with Holitsuba-verse because that's the only one where there's a healthy and sane version of Kurogane available, and they need HIM to go on the journey in place of ninja!Kurogane. He's like "I am a gym teacher and you want me to help you save the multiverse with what??? My dodgeball skills????"

***Raise Me Up (please god let me think of a better title, this one no longer feels right) is like, probably 30% already written??? I had six complete chapters and a huge pile of other scenes done when I abandoned it?)

ETA:

btw, forgot to say this, but the already-written parts of Drinks and Aníron are both available at my AO3 account if you want to poke at them and see if it influences your decision.

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart 💕🌸💐🌷🌻

Big Fanart of Faren, my 2019oc and his wrestling friend, Adrian Adonis🌸💐I drew maybe 1 month ago but take long time for writing their stories in English😂😂

Ok I post about Faren’s information already. And this post I’ll mention about one of his wrestling friends, Start with no.1 Adrian Adonis, a good friend/ big brother whose known him since they both was brown hair YoungLion..before go to WWF

*these pics below are low quality, high quality pics are following in Faren’s story end credit*

[Faren’s part]

My lovely brothers, Keith Adonis Franke a.k.a Adrian Adonis. He’s one of Raymond and my close friends since before we go to WWF, but reason why I still close with him because we are all obsessed with “Biker lifestyle”/ very long-winded, never stop talking😎 (different from Raymond whose more polite and taciturn / we love dressing as biker but Adonis’ style is better than me lol he spend so much money for this!

Adonis is older than me 7 years, chubby but good-looking/ nice hairstyle/ sassy man and big-mouth…and seems he doesn’t care about his weight that much. In the past we often go everywhere by our big bike/ ride in the same car, but when we both are in WWF we have different role, Adonis is heel but I’m babyface, have different locker room/ everybody has his own friends whose have the same role& same personalities and similar in age.. now we shouldn’t acting like close friend when go outside.

Adonis is funny person/ tough and good worker for someone…and sometimes he’s sassy man and like to act cocky for someone too, and one of these people are Lanny Poffo, one of my the first friends in WWF and Danny Spivey, one of dumbass Mike’s close friend.

I don’t know it can calls “luckily” or not that I’m one of persons whose don’t have any problem with him.. maybe just because we don’t have match to fight together eventhough we have similar style (or gimmick) that about biker. We never have any problem about comparing who is better or who should be owner of biker gimmick, we have many difference in their own way.

The fact that we have different role, we must act in different personality traits sometimes, and because we’re famous wrestlers to some extent , when we go outside we often see some fangirls excited to us and stop to say hi😅

Babyface like me must wave and say hi back to her even though that time I’m in a bad mood/ tired/ hungry or bored😐

But for Adonis when he notices some fangirl say hi,

He just act cold and said “get back in da house! ” . that’s why sometimes I jealous to some heel wrestlers that can be honest with their feelings🫤but at the same time Vince and Pat Patterson doesn’t allow me to have heel role too!

Look at this👇🏻. It’s funny that we both dye our hair to blonde following some “backstage person” ‘s advice (Vince? Pat Patterson? or some bookers? I’m not sure who the hell is owner of these idea)

(Umm🫤idk I can call it’s just “advice” or not !?… I think I should use this word instead, “wanting” 🤔 I mean.. if some wrestlers don’t abide by the plans of boss’ idea , We can‘t know about our fate (wrestling role) in the future. They make you shine but they can ruined you also. Me/ Adonis and Dino Bravo are one of the people who agreed to dye our hair to blonde following their advise inevitably

Adonis must dye his hair bc he has gay gimmick of flower shop. Man.. he gain so much weight! Nobody can stop him! Ok I know that this guy is reckless, my I just can’t believe he can be reckless in this way too! 💀

I must dye my hair bc some backstage guy told me to “being more American”. Everyone knew I was the son of famous Hawaiian wrestlers “Ailani Kamealoha”, I have brown hair like my dad , but someone tried to change my identity, make wrestling fans forget everything whose son I am and where did I come from. Now I have become an American biker from Texas USA not Honolulu..I only talk about the biker lifestyle, dressing fashionably, Do not mention anything related to Hawaii or mention to my father who was a Hawaiian warrior.

Moreover, sometimes I have to act flirty, even though in fact I’m like my dad…clumsy and not good at flirting at all , I am not allowed to say that I have 3 children too🤥(yeah I’m jealous a little bit when my senior, Tito bring his 3sons and wife to WWF show)

Ok, back to Adonis. I want to share one of He has ever buy Pepsi for me during we are fixing a big bike(he often go out and back with some snacks).. but that time I keep that Pepsi can in my bag before bring it to hometown in Texas together and forget it in my house, and I wasn’t go back to my house for a few year after that. And not many months later, Adonis left WWF and goes to AWA and I’ve never saw him again.

Believe or not.. until this day in 2024 I still keep that can in my shelf that full of 80-90s stuffs. Seiji, my son doesn’t know anything often ask me to throw it in garbage because it’s expire food but I stop him😑

ok I accept the truth that I have some “old man habits” whose like to collect little nonsense things not only about biker stuffs. But I can’t help it! 🤷🏻this is the last stuff that my close friend gave it to me.

Stories between me and Adonis are just a short part of my whole career story, he passed away from car accident in 1988. Eventough we’re not close that much after we’re in WWF because we have their own friends/ own roles but I can’t refuse that Adonis is good brother for me and my fond memories include Adrian as one of them. He’s gone too fast, that’s the reason why I feel like…I still have unresolved issues and still not used to accept that he’s gone to somewhere. I still imagine if we both are 60 years old men, have white hair, sit together, drink some beer and share crazy journey of our wrestling career. I love you my brother, tell wrestling friends up there I said hi

My Inevitable

by Snargle Goldclaw

Chapter 1.

AN: Speacial fangz (get it, coz Im charr) 2 my gf (ew not in that way) bonnie, 4 helpin me wif da story and spelling. U rok! Faren ur da luv of my deprzzing life u rok 2! MTL LGN ROX!

Hi my name is Palawa Ignacious Inevitable Scourge Of Vabbi Joko and I have long immortal lich life (that's how I got my name) with magic staff and shriveled dead eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like The Pact Commander (AN: if u don't know who they are get da hell out of here!) I'm not related to Mad King Thorn but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a lich but my bones are straight and white. I have wrinkly dead skin. I'm also a scourge, and I go to a magic palace in the Desolation called the Bone Palace where I'm the emperor (I'm 574). I'm undead (in case you couldn't tell) and I mostly wear gold. I love Black Lion and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a white crown with matching jewels around it and a white fabric elonian leggings, skull shoulder pads and sandals. I was wearing tar lipstick, tar eyeshadow, tar foundation, and a gold lip piercing. I was walking outside the Bone Palace. It was dry with sandstorms and hot sun, which i was very happy about. A lot of sunspears stared at me. I put my middle finger up at them.

[herald-of-aurene]

Ashhe Kenna Baszar - AU Commander & Future Goddess of War, Fire, and Valor. She was born to two remaining Sunspears in 1305 in a nearby sunspear outpost. She was trained and raised with the hidden group of Sunspears, until she was 15. In 1320, Joko killed and awakened her parents and some other sunspears. With this, he sent a raid to find and kill the outpost. Ashhe and her 13 year old sister, Deborah were able to flee. They survived for months on their own, Ashhe taking the lead and doing everything to protect her.

Eventually, they made it to Ebonhawk where Logan, Seraph, and the charr were fighting. Despite Logan and the others telling them to go and hide, Ashhe and Deborah stood their ground and helped them fight.

Afterwards, Logan took them into his care, and they became his wards.

In the five years between then and the start of the personal story, Logan became their father figure and trained them. Deborah joined the Seraph but Ashhe refused. She wasnt happy with the way Logan and the Seraph acted sometimes, but she still loved Logan and wanted to show her thanks for taking them in.

Logan would eventually learn of this through her two friends, Lady Kasmeer and Lord Faren, and her desire to join the vigil.

This would send her on the route to the level 30 personally story, where she would meet her girlfriend, and becoming commander

[brax-was-here]

Of AU Scarlet Briar...

I havent posted much of anything lately, especially concerning anything AU Scarlet Briar. But here is a little blerb I had thought about on the way to work today.

I had originally envisioned the story as a 6 chapter short story. It grew to a many chapter novella of sorts (Redemption). That spawned a sequel story (Seeds of Life). That spawned a third story (Cascading Sands), which spawned a 4th story (Redemptions End, which later was renamed to Crystal Madness) which spawed a 5th story (Redemptions End). All this leads into the Tiny Bundles storyline.

Now, Stories 3, 4, and 5 have yet to be fully written.

But there was a 6th unnamed story. It was going to finally have a team up of Scarlet and her crew and members of Dragon's Watch against a new enemy. I never fleshed out anything of the story other than little tidbits here and there, and some quotes.

Rytlock Brimstone: "You mean to tell me that Scarlet Briar has been alive for the past 11 years and we're just now finding out about it? What other secrets are you holding from us, Caithe?"

Canach: "It does seem my sister has turned over a new leaf, no pun intended"

Kasmeer: "Jory, you said we were going to go to someplace boring after Cantha. This is not boring."

Amaranda: "You still cannot possibly be fawning over Faren after all this time."

Taimi: "It really is her!" Joujou: "Yes. It is" "Gorrik: "I always thought she would be more menacing."

Braham: "We're actually going to team up with her? Spirits. Are you crazy?"

Ceara: " Hang on tight, Small Wonder." *seats Taimi on the back of a roller beetle"

Marjory, wide eyed: "Oh, things just got very interesting."

[exeuntstormtroopers]

hi there! Eliza and her monsters might be one of my favorite books ever <3 I’m in love with your writing style and I think it’s super cool to see a character who has selective muteness be such a major part of the story!! In particular, I wanted to ask how the quotable phrases came about. Like, “There are monsters in the sea.” And “I found you in a constellation” (which is so cute!!)

I'm so glad to hear this!

"There are monsters in the sea" is an actual line from Monstrous Sea (my version that I wrote before Eliza, maybe not the first book but somewhere in the series), and while it sounds kind of simplistic, yes okay it's Monstrous Sea and there are monsters in the sea, it's said as a warning: the monsters are our own—our vices, our decisions, our fears, etc—that live inside us. The sea of the subconscious. This dovetailed really well with the themes of Eliza, so I highlighted it out of Monstrous Sea for that.

"I found you in a constellation"/"You found me in a constellation" - Also a real line from Monstrous Sea that dovetailed well with Eliza, so it got used in both places! In Monstrous Sea, Faren literally does find Amity's name in a constellation, because she was named after one, and it becomes a major part of her discovery of who she is, where she came from, her family, and what happened to get her to Nocturne Island. Faren cares about her more than anyone else in the world, to the point where he was the one Nocturnian who searched for and found her true self, both metaphorically and literally. (And there is meaning behind the fact that Amity has a star-name when it is usually only Nocturnians who have star-names, giving her a connection to this culture she grew up in but was never accepted by until she became the Watcher's host.)

It worked so well in Eliza because Wallace and Eliza both experience this feeling that the other understands them better than anyone else. They find each other in the things they love most.

[fenalith]

It's fascinating to see how my perspective on the characters and story has changed over a decade. I have a newfound appreciation for the dwarves of Orzammar among other things!

Say hello to Faren Brosca!
