Little kids who are samurai x fans not being able to pronounce “Pixal” so she gets called “Pickle” by them instead and she just embraces it once she learns about it. Pickles and pickle emojis are now associated with samurai x in online spaces. Pix tells her dad and he thinks it’s funny. Some of the ninja include pickle emojis in her contact in their phones

I’m gonna make another argument for carbon actually.

look at this (mostly) carbon orb. Carborb if you will. Does her unique shape not catch your eye…

Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

Update 13:

Hello, here again with a new update. Are you ready? First, let’s get on with the comments:

Hmm…

- There are no comments about including Varik and his lore in the game, but I’ve seen the amount of views in Starmen.net and I’ve gotten two hearts on Tumblr, so I’ll take that as a “yeah, why not?” Okay, I’ll write it up.

- Since I haven’t received any feedback on how to name the universe yet, I think we’ll leave it as is for now (no name), but remember that “Mother CDDJ” and “Mother BTLS” are part of the same universe, and the first one goes first before the last.

- Someone on Starmen.net suggested naming the alien village "Halcyonia", so that's the name I'm sticking with.

--------

Going to the “Update” section: Zone 3 is complete.

“Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun and games” ♪

(Note: As you’ll notice in this image: It doesn’t have a panorama in the background, but I plan to add one later. This is because I’m focusing my attention on making the other maps).

This area is a bit large to explore, though I tried to make it a bit shorter so it wouldn’t be tedious for the player. When the game is done, and if you find out the areas are too short or too long while you’re playing, let me know. I’ll fix everything in the future.

--------

Finally, let’s go with the backstory of the next character: Lobraz

Lobraz is actually Zarbol, or rather what remains of him after being crushed by Lardna Minch in Earthbound. He’s the first character we meet and one of the characters who will accompany Alinivar in this new adventure.

After the events of CogDis and Earthbound, his soul ascended and watched the entire journey of Ness and his friends until everything ended. Once that happened, his spirit was stranded in the Universe. This was because Zarbol couldn’t rest, since he still felt some concern about what happened to his friends in CogDis. So, with his tiny insect soul, he decided to find out about it. In the midst of his quest, he got caught up in a few things (“cough” what happened in Smash Ultimate with the spirits “cough”), until he got sucked into a dark portal that dragged him into the Dark Dimension. Once inside, he wandered around the place a bit and saw Alinivar lying on the ground, so he’s the one who proceeds to try to wake Alinivar when we start the game.

The reason for his name change is because he’s the first one to find out about Alinivar’s memory loss, so in order to not worry or bother his friend with the details, he suggests the Mook to change names and take the subject delicately until he can regain his memories. He does this because he knows if Alinivar remembers anything about him pretty fast, he’ll have a panic attack and become very sad, which wouldn’t be convenient for the situation they’re in.

Fact: “Lobraz” is “Zarbol”, but backwards.

--------

Okay, that’s all for now. See you next time.

Sorry this is late and probs gonna be long but I am going to take this opportunity to yap about Two-Worlds. My beloved ninjorgo oc . If that is ok . And also yap about her parallels with Riyu

The second half of this post is basic background info..

(Minor additional background info: “hent” is a term I’ve coined to be a ninjagoverse common name for Amphicyonids. Irl paleontologists have given them “bear-dog” as a common name, but seeing as 1) “bear-dog” is also the name of a breed of domestic dog, 2) other large carnivoran groups get their own special word that isn’t made up of other species’ names (wolf, cat, bear, those are all unique names for these groups) and 3) amphicyonids are not extinct in my Ninjago hc, i thought it would make sense to give them their own unique common name, seeing as.. like.. ninjagoverse peoples have coexisted with hents long enough for entomology to do its thing.)

SOOOO Two-Worlds is a Creaturan hent whose mother was a fascist dictator within Creatura for a while and whose father was a prisoner of war at the time Two was born . So he went dimension-hopping to hide baby Two when she was less than a month old, left her in the desert wreckage of the Destiny’s Bounty, and then just bounced. When Zane finds the Bounty in s1, he’s the first thing Two sees when she opens her eyes for the first time.

The other ninja are stoked cuz “HOLY SHIT PET HENT CUB MASTER WU CAN WE KEEP IT” not knowing that this is the equivalent of finding like. A human baby abandoned in the desert. She was still baby enough that she acted like an animal so the gang was none the wiser for a little while. They named her Whiskers <3

Then shit got real weird. She started copying the ninjas’ habits and mannerisms n shit. At first it was cute, but then she was starting to do shit like stand up on two legs staring ominously in dark hallways.

Of course, things started to make sense when she got bigger for her age than a cub of any hent species in the realm… and of course when she started talking. If there were any doubts she wasn’t a regular hent before, this settled them.

Before Lloyd and Nya were ninja, Whiskers was often staying behind with them n Wu, so all three of them had that longing to be included in something. Then Lloyd became a ninja… then Nya… then she just felt pretty left behind. By this time, she was already fully grown— about twice human height at the shoulder.

(Lloyd for comparison. Her right ear is damaged, permanently floppy after helping fight the stone warrior army in s2.)

And she wasn’t getting ninja training, either. So she just felt too big and awkward and dangerous living in a world that quite literally wasn’t built for her. She felt useless. Sound familiar? *looks at how often I yap about Riyu’s feelings of inadequacy stemming from very similar sources*

Anyway she felt reeeeally out of place. She knew by then through Wu and Misako that she’s Creaturan, but she had no way to get there until like… post-s6. At that point she travels to Creatura andddd finds out she looks just like her supervillain mother and has to go on this whole adventure proving her innocence and running from Creaturan royal authorities. During this she grapples with a whole new sense of feeling out-of-place, meets one of my buddy’s ocs, discovers her powers, and acquires the title Whiskers of Two Worlds (aka Two-Worlds. Or, if you’re family, just Two). She got the new name idea from her friend, as most typical Creaturan names/titles come from an attribute or accomplishment of the individual. Shortly after (either before or during HoT..) she moves to Creatura full-time as a protector of the realm, visiting her family in Ninjago whenever possible.

And man. I think about her meeting Riyu postmerge alllllll the time. Thinking of them chatting over food or something, and he mentions his experiences, his insecurities, and she looks back at him seeing nothing but herself. She would feel insaneeee. …she would also possibly be able to learn some spinjitsu finally. On top of Creaturan fighting skills n whatnot. Two-Worlds student Riyu arc when . cuz bro has not had much Rontu and Egalt training and i doubt Lloyd can train a large quadruped (aka Riyu) as well as a large quadruped could (aka Two).

Feeling pretty miserable feel free to yap abt your faves under this post 👍 I need to see some people be happy about their blorbos

Rambling about Bravely default 2

Not checking this game any sooner was probably the dumbest thing i ever did

Art : Naoki ikushima’s art is peak so I dont have much to say in that regard that being said the models did look off to me. Nothing too bad you get used to it but it felt like they were trying to blend the traditional chibi model with a more semi-realistic style so the result was a bit … off. That being said I was pleasantly surprise to see they tried to retain the watercolor style background that the 3ds games had. Since the switch doesnt have 3D vision i feared they would not keep it

designs : honestly i think they are all pretty good but i give props to the mage class for all following the same style of clothing, lorewise it makes sense given how Wiswald is established as a country of scholar (like how Al Khampis was in BS)

gameplay : so its seems that unlike the previous games BD 2 follows a more typical turn system by RPG’s standards. I personally dont mind but I can see why some people miss the previous system. The jobs are interesting but much like the previous games you still have the issue of some jobs being kinda meh and others being absurdly broken like the thief. But that being said the game’s difficulty is very hight like, much more compared to the previous games. It also seems the changed stuff regarding the world map. BD and BS had a more DQesque approach where the giant model of your party leader would walk on a world map but in BD 2 you have to use the roads of each kingdom to access said kingdom, which honestly ? I actually like that its feels more immersive and organic. They also changed random encounters system, in BD and BS it was more of a typical system where some enemies are in some places and when you walk there its fighting time with additional ability to turn them off or to raise encouters rate in case you wanna grind. BD 2 has all monsters on the map so whether you choose to fight the monsters or not is entirely up to you. I do like how the monsters fears you, dont care about you or are ready to attack you depending on your current level, that gives them personality and that also allows the players to know their current range of strengh, that’s also more immersive I think but I can see why some would miss the old system after all there is something thrilling about random encounters, you are always on your guard in case some enemies might show up

now regarding the side quests BD 2, there are 2 types : regular side quest and fetch quests. The latter can be kinda annoying at times and repetitive but the former are pretty good characterization moments

music : REVO IS SOOO BACK ! As always the ost is fire but also the dedication of that man for composing unique enemy theme/asterisk themes. That being said i do wonder why the music has such a mediteranean vibe to it (not that I mind its just funny how so many ost sound like that like the victory fanfare Seth’s theme etc)

story and characters : I think the story was pretty good, I enjoy how BD 2 has many story elements that are call back to the previous entries like how Halcyonia’s arc is remniscient of Caldisla, notably with the jobs it gives you : Selene and Dag remind me of Holly and Bahars, but the game also gives you the White mage monk and equivalent to Knight job very early, like BD 1 did. Savalon reuse the « water plot » which in previous games was mainly used for side quests such as the Merchant and Thief vs Red mage side quest, but this time its a main plot and part of a twist i genuinely didnt saw comming despite the similarities with BD 1. In BD 1 the main big bad of Ancheim was the King of the country Khamer but that was written on his face. In BD 2 you are lead to think it is going to be Bernard which is basically Profiteur but Thief however turns out it’s Castor like so genuinely didnt saw this coming, although its still a « you have to defeat the ruler of the desert country ». Wiswald seems to be a reference to Al Khampis since its a country of scholarship. Rimedheal is so sick, country with fairies and dragons ? You spoil me game. Hologard is my least favorite region tho. The premise is pretty simple : Gloria has to find the 4 Crystals of elements to prevent the return of the night Nexus. But much like BD 1 it does this by the book story well, tho i will admit the real arc that got me the most invested was Rimedheal’s fairy hunt arc, that one moment where you fail to save Margaret was genuinely marking. My favorite part of BD 1 was how some side quest didnt end well and while its not really the case in Bd 2 it does involve tragic sideplot that make you invested. I also think that the game manages to achieve a good balance between a immersive world and compelling antagonist : BD 1 was extremely good at making you care about its NPC but the antagonist could feels a bit flat moments and while BS didnt necessarily made you had the one NPC you care about it offered a lot of compelling antagonist. BD 2 manage to achieve both : like Truff, i genuinely like Truff and when the rock fall on hum i was getting mad at the game like you better not kill him. Most of the antagonist are varied like you have Castor who has good intentions but goes about it the wrong way, Bernard whose a jerk capable of showing some kindness when he wants to, Lesdale who is a sort of Camus of Hologard. That being said the story isnt perfect : sometimes the game introduced plot point and seems to Forget about it like this engagement proposal made to Gloria what of it ? Not to mention that while I do enjoy a lot of side antagonist, the major one such as Adam and Edna are kinda of the weak est of the bunch. Adam is like Kaiser Obvlion but less fleshed out as for Edna, while its true that Airy and Anne also lacked in terms of characters, given how the game wants to emphasize the tragedy between the two sister, its a shame that we dont get more stuff about her… she just gets beaten once and then gets swallowed by the Nexus and we move on ? Pity.

regarding the Heroes of light, I like them they are charming and very entertaining. I think which real you prefer is going to depend on a lot of factors but I would place them second, right after the Warriors and just before Agnes’s Avengers. Adele and Elvis are funny, they are like an old married couple, i like how Elvis is not that good at his job but everyone can appreciate his positive and good hearted nature, Adele is a bit of hot head like Edea but a lot of stuff like her bad habits with her shoes and her desire to eat tons of food get recontextualized once you know about her true nature and this makes her observing how humans behave pretty interesting. Gloria made me think that she was how people in game believes Agnes is : Agnes appear cold and distant but thats because she is shy and lacks self confidence, Gloria on the other hand is confidant and determined but her arc is about learning to enjoy life and not let duty narrows her mind, which strikes a lot when you consider the first ending you get. As for Seth, while I would consider him the weakest of the four and the weakest of the 3 « player characters »(in the sense he fufills Yew and Tiz’s role even if Seth is more explicitely an avatar) I still think he is enjoyable, his pretty down to earth nature makes for great comedy when contrasted with Elvis and Adele and his relationship with Gloria is just cute. Also props to the game for being the first game to flesh out the final boss. Not shade to BD and BS but Ouroborous and Providence arent that fleshed out and at Times they can feel like « we needed to shove an ultimate boss who is a god », meanwhile Nexus has a very interesting story and her being a memory eater makes the remix of the final boss themes in typical Bravely fashion strikes even harder

The meta elements : Bravely is a franchise who imo is mostly defined by its boldness in breaking the 4th wall and incorporating these to its lore, and i will be honest what BD 2 did was soo unique and so mind blowing I would rather want to make a fully analytical post about that

so yeah pretty good game !

YAYY HERE WE GO.

I have more ocs but these three are most often on my mind these days so. Alcyo and fangpyre siblings be upon ye:

Alcyo: casual friend/acquaintance relationship with the ninja methinks. Hes always known abt them but met them personally in s4/tourney, so I feel like he keeps in touch with most of the other EMs that were there— but more so the ninja and Skylor because of all of their proximity to Ninjago city. In DR, when he gets captured by Cinder (send an ask if you want elaboration on That) i feel like it has the comedic potential of Cinder, Jordana, and Ras trying to get information on the ninja out of Alcyo, but him only knowing random personal trivia like one of them not liking pineapples or something. Because Alcyo knows the ninja as Just People, he doesn’t know their agenda or whatever since he has hardly spent time with any of them since before the merge. Anyway he thinks they’re great people he just wishes they didn’t attract so many destructive enemies over the years…

Chloe: i ship her with Lloyd so she is def buddies with the ninja. She felt pretty intimidated by all of them at first because yk being serpentine she’s not heard 100% positive opinions on them, plus the core four were involved with the event that caused her parents’ death (remember in s3 when Cryptor’s people got into the serpentine burrow. Yeah) but regular visits 2 the monastery and being around the ninja has put her at ease throughout the years. They’re a bunch of dorks and she doesn’t know what she was worried about. I think the ones she has gotten the most close with (besides Lloyd) are Zane, Nya, and Misako. Yeah yeah Misako’s not a ninja but her n Chloe’s fields of study overlap in places so I think they’d get along well. Chloe n Zane can nerd out about various subjects together, same with her n Lloyd. Being around Nya has helped her come out of her shell too. I feel like she’d encourage Chloe to speak up for herself more. She’s enjoyed spending more time with some of them post merge bc she moves into the monastery after the merge

Vin-Va: At first, veryyyy active disdain for the core four (they’re Chloe’s sibling so. The parents thing) but only disliked Nya and Lloyd by association. They don’t really spend time with the ninja, they’ve got their own duties going on, so they aren’t friends with them and most of what they know about the ninja is from what Chloe and Lloyd have told them. They’ve spent enough time around Lloyd (when he visits) that over the years they’ve gone from tolerating him to loving being around him but you will Not catch them admitting that. I feel like any interactions between them and the rest of the ninja are vaguely curt and awkward. They’ll be polite for Chloe’s sake though. But around other serpentine they’re def still joining in on the “yeah fuck those guys lol” rhetoric/jokes. Despite that, it did concern them hearing they all apparently died in the merge (they aren’t around Ninjago city post-merge so they don’t know those mfs are alive)

Holds head in hands I’m sorry. I’ve been slacking they call me the slackerrrrrrrr the slack. Er. Uh I have to do another Ninjago oc question. I’m so sad I stopped them I know ppl liked them. Anywayse uh. This might be to broad of a question but uh how do they knowwe the ninja team? Not how they met, but what is their relationship likes now and what is your ocs general opinion on them?

Toni is sort of friends-in-law with the ninja. He is a fan blogger of sorts, but he became friends with Jay and Nya. And she has an active disdain towards Kai.

Charlie believe it or not has a fairly neutral opinion on the ninja. She doesn’t know any of them like. Personally (until DR). And despite how much I talk about her being a SoG member and the vague kidnapping incident, most of Charlie’s issues are pretty. Not ninja related. They’re annoying to her (preventing her from reaching her goal) but otherwise she doesn’t really care for them. (Again. Until DR)

Kit hardly knows anything about them. They’re appreciative (you know, saving the city, saving the world, you gotta appreciate that) but otherwise. They just don’t really get the hype. So good opinion, but much like Charlie, just kinda doesn’t care.

@halcyonias​​ ◈ starter call

“ You look like you’re lost. Need a certified SOLDIER to help get you somewhere? ” The question was as innocent as the smile he’d followed it up with, even if the retort probably sounded more like a pick-up line to anyone else. 

Zack was being completely genuine though; especially to someone who looked like they could’ve used a guardian in the form of someone whose job it was to fight off threats and play his part on the front lines. “ I mean, I’ve heard there’s monsters around here, right? Might be tough by yourself. ”

Theme song of me trying to fight the bosses that raise the job level cap:

[legokingfisher]

Zane would enjoy my job i think. Or at least find it easy. So sometimes when I dread going in i will think about Zane sitting politely at a nature center front desk welcoming people and giving them trail maps, or driving around a golf cart around the park telling people about birds and giving them directions. And there is a little less dread in my heart

for Ninjago people who work does anyone else imagine their favorite characters doing the job that they do bc I think it would be hilarious if Garmadon became an amusement park grounds night crew worker

and then Lloyd working at Wendy's and he can't snap at the customers for being idiotic and instead he has to say "as I've stated before—"
