bree's druid types

Daddy's Good Little Soldier TM

features include:

Nap (can nap in any place at any time, emotionally exhausted, overworked, will awake more tired than he went to sleep)

I Have Too Much On My Shoulders (in combat situations he will try to take on every single foe by himself whilst shouting for the group to run to safety)

Panic (the inner screaming and brain spinning that comes with being unable to make a decision when faced with world ending scenarios while being completely unflappable on the outside)

Don't Let Anyone See You Cry TM (crying in hidden places, going missing for hours at a time and returning pretending he was just hunting in wildshape, always returns with food)

Care More About Others Than Yourself (endlessly patient and listening to others about their issues, offers help to solve them while ignoring his own)

Endless Loyalty (will in fact follow his father into death itself, and then try and exchange his soul for his dads so his dad can go free)

Smile Through The Pain (to be fair his smile is radiant like the sun itself so this one is. a lil painful. but anyway. he just smiles like he's completely fine and balanced, but he's really just young and indecisive and not quite as trained as he needs to be in order to uh, kill a giant brain and save the world)

Moo (tiger moos.)

Feral Rage (threaten anyone he's close to and witness the wrath of nature, which in a lot of situations is actually scarier than a barbarian's rage)

Buff Legolas

Features Include:

I Was Born For This (raised by leaders, trained to lead, innately capable at handling problems of others)

Meditative Wisdom (calm, collected, centering, exudes the sort of energy that makes you collect your thoughts and take a deep breath)

Checkered Past TM (doesn't talk about what brought him back to the high forest or why he has new battle scars, gets introspective and gloomy/brooding at certain times of the year and shuts himself off)

Wounded Heart (doesn't respond to those obviously interested in him, has not taken a lover or partner in decades, mysteriously silent on the subject)

Expert Healer (knows anything and everything about potion making and healing spells, has the gentlest hands and most soothing bedside manner, can get anyone to calm down and allow him to help them)

Leader By Calamity (only in a position of power because someone has died, was likely not ready to ascend to a position of power when he did but did so because he was trained to)

Smile With Your Eyes (when he's amused, his eyes sparkle like pure starlight)

Awoo Crew (will run feral and howl at the moon with the other wolves in his pack at least twice a month)

Sunshine Boy

Features Include:

Unbridled Power Of The Sun (he is pure sunlight in a human body, the human equivalent of a golden retriever, everyone's friend, the sweetest bean, a good boy, squishy baby, look at his little cheeks just squish them)

Friend TM (this druid is friend shaped. while not being the favored of any known deity of charisma or luck, he can become friends with anyone he meets whether animal or humanoid-whether they intend to or not)

Tramns The Gemnder (pure of heart, dumb of ass, trans of gender. this druid is transmasc with a dash of gender fluidity. we love to see it.)

Cat???? (this druid must pet ALL THE CATS. canonically in his dnd lore has a tressym rescue which is up to a grand total of 30)

Squeaks TM (mountain lion squeaks. feel the pure unfiltered power of cuteness aggression, behold the mighty squeak. love him.)

Cry (minus two to all stats during applicable weeks because endometriosis. will cry at unpredictable times.)

Loves With His Entire Soul (this druid loves with his entire being, if he falls in love with your character, they will receive everything he has to offer including but not limited to his actual fucking soul.)

Ace TM (this druid is on the asexual spectrum because trauma.)

Baby (he's just babey, your honor)

Coming Apart At The Seams

Features Include:

Barely Contained (dare i say. bear-ly contained...okay i'll see myself out. this druid is barely keeping themselves together at any given moment)

?????? (curious. well read. researcher.)

Fuck Off TM (push his buttons the right way, or threaten someone he loves, and he will snap)

This Druid Can Hold So Much Trauma TM (patting him like a used car salesman, standing on my toes barely reaching his elbow tbh. idk what you want from me hes just tired and spread really thin ok)

I Care When Logically I Should Not Be Capable Anymore (gestures vaguely. look. for someone who fucking casually just mentions he spent time literally captive by drow and being used in a number of ways. he is incredibly blase about it. he should be a lot darker than he is. but hes so capable of a range of emotion that should be locked away for him.)

Bear Puns TM (i love him. if you want to be around him, you'd best be able to endure puns)

That's My Dad Your Honor (in which anyone with misplaced emotions abt their parents projects onto him and just wants him to say he is proud of them)

Objectify Me (endures objectification from others while not processing any emotion about it)

My Entire Heart (this guy is capable of loving with every single piece of himself, and i cry every single time.)

Bear Grumbles (dad noises but bear)

I Decide When The Hug Ends (he is over 300 pounds. he decides when the hug ends.)

Fritz (Updated Vers)

Updated a certain old boy of mine, gave him a bit more of a detailed description, he was a REALLY old boy and this was before I was,, well- confident in character making and honestly before I knew what I was doing so here’s a lad!!

| Name: Fritz

| Nicknames: Fritzy or Ritz

| Gender: He/Him or They/Them

| Age: Looks to be about 25

| Height: 4 inches

| Species/Race: Drider (based on a Black Widow Spider)

| Hair Color: Tiger Orange (his hair style is a messy curly undercut)

| Eye Color: Baby Blue

| Skin Color/Body Type: Well his human half is pretty pale and his lower spider half is black (with a red hourglass-esque shape on his abdomen) and overall he’s a little bit chubby tbh

| Appearance: He wears a Blue and Orange collared shirt and usually keeps the sleeves on it rolled up to his elbows, the only other thing he wears is a pair of circle glasses aside from that he can’t really wear much else soo… He has pointed ears for starters, all his teeth are sharp technically BUT he has two particular spider fangs that protrude from his mouth, he doesn’t really have claws though, he actually trimmed those down in fact, he looks like a monster enough, he doesn’t w a n t anymore features like that- and besides, those claws could easily hurt someone far before his teeth would.

He has a GOOD few scars all over his body, even down to his spider half, its minor scars- nothing too serious looking but still, it is a wonder where those scars came from in the first place. (one more thing, he doesn’t have a beard, he babyfaced lmao)

| Personality: He’s very timid and skittish, shy and polite, kind, caring, sweet, and so full of compassion- He’s really borderline a people pleaser but in secret mostly, he’s PETRIFIED of humans so getting close to them is a big no no, but he’ll do things for people in secret, even though he’s tiny he can still accomplish certain things, he’s not like the other Black Widows at all, most of them are strong more aggressive and outgoing compared to him, the reason he’s so terrified of humans though 1: The stories that have been passed down about the humans, his parents told him at a young age and while they HATED to scare/traumatize him like that, they wanted him to know humans were not to EVER be trusted and 2: He’s even had bad experiences with like MOST humans, he knows they don’t like spiders so he tries to keep his distance and avoid them.

Even if it came down to a last resort situation, Fritz genuinely doesn’t believe he’d be strong enough to bite a human, if he were about to get squished he just,, doesn’t have it in him to hurt them or ANYONE really which is why the other Driders pick on him a LOT, he’s never been a proper hunter which does get him shame from most of them, he’s definitely 100% vegan- cannot hurt a human, animal, insect, etc, if he has too he WILL eat blades of grass ….just please don’t force him to eat other insects or something, he doesn’t wanna hurt them… They have families too!

| Side Facts: He’s EXTREMELY fast actually so it’s rather easy for him to get away from most situations unless his guard is down (hah it almost is ALWAYS up ...unless he's distracted by something in particular) You can blink though and he’ll vanish just like that (Listen I speak from experience dude,, I once saw a spider in the floor and i blinked and that fucker was GONE- they fucking vanished into thin air is2g)

He sometimes wishes he could be a bit bigger so he wouldn’t have to worry so damn much about being captured all the time, he’s DEFINITELY got a lotta anxiety underneath tbh.

His grandmother knitted him a light pastel orange blanket and he’s had it ever since he was a young spiderling, she’s passed on (has been for a long while) and he’s kept it on him ever since, there isn’t a day that goes by where he isn’t carrying that blanket, he makes sure to keep it clean and when it gets holes or something, he learned knitting/sewing beforehand so he could make sure to keep it in good condition, the blanket helps him calm down IMMENSELY when he’s undergoing immense stress or a panic attack, and you can send him into a FULL BLOWN panic attack if you take away his blanket, he’d be EXTREMELY devastated if the blanket was destroyed.

Even though Fritz feels like he wouldn’t like it at all, he does wonder sometimes what it’d be like to be… The same size as a human… To be a giant… ...Then again, humans really WOULD fear him then probably and everything else would be so terrified of him then because then he’s a giant to them and just, yeah that’s too messy… Eugh.

Fritz would be a REALLY good one to help with Arachnophobia, he doesn’t blame humans for being afraid ...after all, he knows what fear is like- and if he wasn’t so scared of THEM he’d try to help more often, but he’d be amazing to help out with that, he’s very gentle, kind, etc- and once he climbs onto your hand, he’ll sit there in your palm and gently place his hand on it “Y-You… You’re d-doing g-great… Just… U-Um… Breathe… O-Okay…?”

He also has a stutter had it not been obvious about the dialogue just above this line, he struggles with his words here and there in general tbh.

And finally, Fritz is Panromantic and Asexual. Fritz also says “LGBTQ+ Rights!” ...he hopes he got that term right, he’s still learning about all that after all.

Placozoa overview, or: Placs’n’pals

Welcome back to another installment of what is apparently “Hayley goes through the animal tree of life”. Today we’re gonna be looking at a fascinating group of animals called placozoans.

Great. Who here has heard of placozoans?

Anyone? Anyone? No? Right. Let’s start from the very beginning. Put on your imagination cap.

Imagine it’s 1883 and you’re a German zoologist. In between eating schnitzel and listening to bad music by Wagner, who has thankfully just died, you like to visit an aquarium in Austria. On one such occasion you notice something sticking to the glass that looks like a big (0.5mm) amoeba. Naturally, you scrape it off to look at it under a microscope, and when you do, you realise—to much shock and surprise—that it is in fact not an amoeba, but a multicellular animal that looks and lives like one.

(Image: A placozoan under the microscope. It’s an amorphous blob about half a millimetre across, with little dots all over. Those little dots are cells.[Source])

Meet Trichoplax, the only placozoan known for over 130 years.

Now, it being the only one known for 130 years, you might assume it’s known only from a very small sample, perhaps known only from a handful of individuals recovered from that one Austrian tank. Nope. Trichoplax has been found in warm oceans all over the world, from Australia to Brazil and the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.

Other species have been proposed—hundreds of them, in fact. But it wasn’t until 2017 that any of these were found to be genetically distinct, and now we’ve got a total of three known species of placozoans, with several more proposed but not yet named. It appears that there may be a particularly high diversity of them in the Mediterranean sea, but that may just be a result of sampling. One of these new species can grow giant by placozoan standards; that is, it can get up to a centimetre long. It can also form branching shapes, which is weird.

(Image: Polyplacotoma, a recently-discovered species of placozoan. It typically looks more like a normal placozoan, but here it has taken on a branching tree-like shape and is a centimetre in length. Image from Osigus et al, 2019.)

What are placozoans? Good question. It’s a question that bothered zoologists for quite some time. Not long after they were first discovered it was proposed that they were the larva of a cnidarian (jellyfish and friends), and this idea stuck around for a few decades until they were examined in more detail in the mid-1900s. Since then they’ve been agreed to be their own thing, but exactly what that thing is, no one is quite sure. They’ve been suggested to be close relatives of cnidarians, or to have branched off before or after cnidarians or sponges (all based on DNA evidence). Either way, they’re real close to the root of the animal tree.

Placozoan means “plate animal”, and it makes sense why—in form they’re kinda flat and patty-shaped, except for when they’re branching, which isn’t often (or so we think).

Placozoans have two cellular layers, one above and one below, and six types of cells. This last part is pretty important, because it implies they are truly multicellular, not just colonial, and it’s why they were considered animals in the first place. (This was before our current, cladistics-based definition of animals). They lack any true organs or tissues, though.

(Woah, this part has been getting really text-heavy, and these animals are too small and obscure for there to be any good pictures. Here’s a giraffe to break up the text. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of this post.)

Placozoans have a distinct top and bottom side. Most cells on both the top and bottom have cilia (tiny hair-like structures); the bottom-layer cilia help them move around. The bottom layer also has gland cells that are thought to secrete digestive enzymes.

In between the two layers of cells is a syncytium. You might remember this from a previous post, in which they were found in glass sponges. The syncytia of placozoans, however, is not the whole body, and is just a layer in the middle of the animal. The syncytium lacks cell membranes dividing compartments (obviously), but it does have some separating boundaries called septa. This syncytium also has microfibres that apparently give it some structure, and currents of calcium ions like in glass sponges. It’s been proposed that movement of this syncytial layer (called the fibre cells) is what allows the placozoans to change shape, and it’s also been suggested that it is evolutionarily related to neurons.

Placozoans lack a jelly-like matrix between cell layers, which is present in sponges (as we’ve seen) and in cnidarians and ctenophores (as we will see).

Placs can move by squishing about like amoebas, but they can also move by sort of crawling along with their lower cilia.

Just like they have two methods of moving, they also have two methods of eating. They feed upon single-celled organisms, mostly algae and bacteria; one method of feeding involves crawling over their food item and forming a digestive cavity on the underside of their body and digesting it outside of their body, presumably using their gland cells to secrete digestive fluids.

(Image: Diagram of a placozoan doing external digestion, as described above. It moves over a food particle and then forms a cavity with its body, then secretes digestive fluids to digest it. [Source])

Alternatively, using the upper layer of cells, placozoans can draw food particles in and engulf them through their cells, in a more typically amoeba-like or sponge-like fashion.

Placozoans can reproduce asexually by splitting or by budding, and cutting a placozoan in half will result in two placozoans. In fact, blending a placozoan into individual cells can lead to the cells joining back up with each other to form back into organisms. It’s also been found that, if you blend up two placozoans together, cells that formerly came from two different animals can join up into one.

It’s assumed that placozoans can reproduce sexually as well, but this has never been directly observed. What has been observed, however, is what’s presumed to be the development of egg cells. It’s weird, and complex, and you’d probably be better off just reading the wikipedia article if you’re so inclined, but the gist is that the plac floats up into the water, curls up around its bottom side, and the bottom cells undergo a magical girl transformation into an egg. No sperm have ever been observed, and it’s been proposed that they somehow entirely lack them.

No definitive fossil placozoans have ever been discovered—unsurprising when you consider that they’re a tiny hamburger patty of cells. However, there have been some mysterious and enigmatic fossils from before the Cambrian, and these have occasionally been proposed to be related to placozoans. We’ll be looking at these next time. I hope you like pancakes.

Every once in a while I get very annoyed, as a person who really doesn’t believe in marriage nor really wanted one (I wanted a *wedding* who doesn’t want a giant prom that only has your favourite people in it? But I’ve *always* thought that party shouldn’t be attached to something so novel as a wedding/funeral/pre-production on a human. Just throw giant parties!), how much of my life has lead to me being very fixated on it.

Ruined a couple really good relationships, exclusively because borders are stupid and I am poor; the only coin I had to show immigration was my ability to knit together legally recognized relationships.

Can one be aro and at the same time really obsessed with the game of Romance? Like, can one be, like, a drag queen of Romance? Does that metaphor makes sense?

It’d sure explain why I made my partners (especially boyfriends) jealous of how I treat my friends. I really don’t understand what’s the difference between a romantic partner and a best friend. That difference isn’t even who I’m fucking, I’ve had happy asexual dating partners and I’ve fucked my friends.

Like, as far as I can tell, the only difference is the expectation of involved logistical partnership? Like, if my best friend gets a new job across the country, they’re not required to get my input before deciding to take it; if my partner did that, I’d be allowed to be angry about it, because that’s our combined life it’s impacting.

What even is a romantic relationship? What makes it different than your bestie, if you remove all the weird heteronormative expectations of conflict and secrecy and sexual exclusiveness and mingling of resources?

The girls are getting to the age where they’re asking these questions, and like I don’t know. I know what horny is, I can explain that. But they’re prepubescent; it’s not that there’s *nothing* physical at that age, I won’t insult kids by implying purity, but it’s *not* the primary impulse in a crush right? Lust is different from a crush... right? And a crush is different than a squish, right?

But I think that *because* there’s a difference for me, so does that mean I *do* have romantic impulses? What do I want from a crush that isn’t the same thing I want from a squish? Practically it looks the same, I want them to like me and I want to spend lots of time with them.

#i still want to throw the giant not-wedding reception I keep talking about #everyone pitches in fifty bucks #everyone brings a wedding present for the secret spousal gift exchange #cost half as much because the word 'wedding' doesn't immediately inflate every cost by 150%#karaoke instead of first dances #iunno relational definition is a trap I don't want it anymore #i either love you or i don't #nuff said #i'm *really* tired of feeling like I love people Too Much(tm) all the time #just everyone marry me and stop worrying about it

“You do you...until you’re ready” My queer ass is in love with this man. I want to squish his cheeks together (face cheeks thank you) and give him little kisses all over. Tiny face pecks. I want to mother him by resting his giant head on my lap and smooth his hair because he’s my baby 👁👄👁

Ha! Okay anon, I feel you. I have to admit, this is not how I see Phil. I have zero maternal feelings for him on account of all that thirst 😂 Even though I don’t really think of him that way anymore, he will always hold a thirsty little place in my heart. I think he’d be very lucky to be mothered by you. I think he would appreciate all of those tiny kisses as long as he were warned and gave consent. :) and I think you are absolutely lovely for feeling such heckin cute feelings about him. I loved that moment. He answered kindly and honestly with that signature Phil lightness and humor and a little bit of cheek. And then, he added the little notation about asexuality or just people who aren’t that into sex. He really is such a lovely man. 4 million lesbians can’t be wrong.

Also... I would like to add my own note for anyone that’s reading. Virginity is a patriarchal myth. It is not a thing. It cannot be taken or given or gifted or detected. Your sexuality or lack thereof is yours and no one else’s to toy with or label or qualify or quantify. OK I’m done. Carry on :)

#anon #ask #tw: virginity

It's no worries, but still can i request a scenario for Luffy? The plot Is up to you, i just wanna see him jealous hehehe thank you very much, hope this time is not out of his character, once again thank you

Hi dear! Hopefully this works for “jealousy”. I had a lot of trouble picturing Luffy being jealous, especially over a person (I feel like he’s more of a “I wanted to play with that toy but that kid already has it” kind of jealous tbh). I also wanna give a shoutout to Asexual Aces on Facebook for helping me out with portraying crushes from an Aromantic viewpoint (or squishes, as they usually end up being), they were a huge help. Anyway, I’m really happy with what I wrote, so I really hope you enjoy it too!

Luffy was an affectionate captain. He enjoyed spending his days surrounded by his crew, his friends, and finding ways to show how much he appreciated them any chance he got. Lately, this had been especially true of the Straw Hats newest crew member. There was only one problem.

Everytime Luffy wanted to hang out, she was busy!

…

“Oi, Name-chan! Let’s go fishing!” Luffy called, line already cast and Usopp cheering him on to catch a really big one. She gave him an apologetic look, smiling despite what she would say next.

“Ahh sorry Luffy, I promised I’d help Sanji in the kitchen. Maybe next time?” Said cook followed after her into the kitchen, floating along behind her with hearts in his eyes. Normally, Luffy would laugh at how dumb Sanji looked, but this time he just pouted, even when Usopp cheered at the large prize he fished up. She hadn’t even noticed.

...

“Shishishi Name-chan! This island has beetle fights! Come on, let’s go watch!” Luffy yelled, tugging her arm lightly. She frowned slightly, putting on a brave face as he and Chopper both sent her their best puppy-dog stare.

“I’m sorry, Luffy. I said I’d do some shopping with Nami and Robin. You know, have a girl’s day? Maybe they’ll have them later!” Luffy watched her walk off with the other two women, scratching his head. There had to be some way to spend time with her.

…

“Hey, Name-chan!” Luffy called, mouth full. “You want some of this meat? Sanji just cooked it! It’s sooooo good!” Zoro raised an eyebrow at his captain from his napping spot in the corner, but otherwise made no comment.

“Thanks, but I actually ate something not that long ago. You go ahead and eat it all, I know how much you love meat, Captain!” She giggled, walking off to join Nami in her nectarine grove. Luffy watched her go, rubbing his chin as he tried to think of a way to get her to spend time with him, only paying attention to his surroundings long enough to snap at a hand as it tried to sneak off with his food.

Did she not like him? She didn’t seem to have a problem hanging out with the rest of the crew. What could he be doing wrong? He even shared his meat! When they’d first met something about her just stood out to him, and he thought she was one of the coolest people he’d ever met. He’d thought she felt the same about him, but now he wasn’t so sure.

Luffy continued this line of thinking all the way to the next destination, and his spirits rose when he saw a carnival taking place in town. He quickly ran over to her, grabbing her by the arm before anyone else could speak, and pulled her off the ship into the crowd.

“Ahh! But Luffy! I was gonna-!”

“Well now we’re hanging out! Come on, it’ll be fun!” She let him pull her around the island, knowing there was no point in arguing with him. When Luffy really wants something, he’ll find some way to get it.

They spend the day playing carnival games (“Look at that big bear, Name-chan!” “Luffy, you can’t just take it, you need to win it first!”), sampling food (“This fried stuff is good, but Sanji’s food is way better!” “Mmhmm, I have to agree, Captain!”), and riding rides (“Man that haunted house wasn’t even scary!” “Luffy, you really should apologize for punching the actors…”).

Their last stop of the day was a giant ferris wheel, and as Luffy sidled into the car next to her (squished against each other due to said giant bear), he felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in his gut. He often felt this way when he spent time with his friends, but this was stronger than usual somehow, and while he didn’t know why that would be he wasn’t going to complain. He’d finally gotten to spend a day with her, no other plans in place to interrupt his fun; and it HAD been fun, at least for him. From the smile on her face, he thought maybe it was fun for her too, and his own smile grew to match it. He rocked the seat back and forth, causing her to laugh.

As they left the carnival to head back to the Sunny, it was at a more leisurely pace than when they’d first set out. The carnival had died down some, though the low roar of the crowd still followed behind them, and fireflies dotted their path home.

“While I don’t appreciate being dragged off against my will, this was a lot of fun,” She spoke up, sending him a brilliant smile. “Thanks, Luffy!” His only reply was to smile back, wide and proud, and to wrap his arms around her a few times over in a tight hug. She let out an “oof!” as he lifted her off the ground, but otherwise didn’t complain.

“Let’s hang out more just us, ok?” He asked, not letting go.

“Ok, Captain,” She managed to squeeze out. “Sounds like a plan!” In a flash he let her go and she could breathe again, free to chase after him, their laughter carried on the wind.

Artemis: Where Fate May Have Gone Wrong

Okay, this might be stupid and fruitless, but, okay, here’s a meta post defending some (not all) of Artemis and Orion in Fate/Grand Order. This is mainly “where might have fate gone wrong”, really.

First off, let’s get the obvious out of the way:

Artemis and Orion’s relationship is horrible, non-consensual, and is overall not funny. Orion is not interested in Artemis at all, insults her, and he routinely talks about or hits on other women. In turn, she appears to be obsessed with him, in almost-yandere territory. Most of the jokes involve Orion trying to escape her and her making jokes about awn, he loves her so much! The art usually includes Orion escaping Artemis, or Artemis doing something harmful to him.

I’m not going to talk about this a lot because people have already discussed it a lot, and I think it’s the main reason why people dislike her. Maybe if she spooked you, too. Her writing in her own event and the Okeanos chapter leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, I think people have already spoken enough about why they dislike her.

Here’s why I think she’s not…as…bad….as I think people make her out to be.

Second point: let’s talk about Artemis and Orion in mythos.

Artemis is characterized in mythos as being a pretty fair goddess, associated with hunting, childbirth, her brother Apollo, and virginity. She asks her father Zeus to stand by her vow of chastity and kills a man, Acheron, for seeing her and her huntresses bathing.

I say she’s pretty fair because for the most part she isn’t a very vengeful goddess? Acheron did see her bathing. She sends down plagues and arrows against the Greeks because one, she supports Troy, and two, because they defiled Apollo’s priestesses. Similarly, she hurts Niobe because Niobe boasted that she was a better mother than Artemis and Apollo’s mother.

Depending on the version of the myths surrounding Agamemnon you read, she refused the Greeks leaving for Troy because Agamemnon boasted that he was a better hunter than her. She makes less sense if you use the Aeschylus reasoning, where she basically makes up an excuse. Something could be said for making Iphigenia be sacrificed, but then again, some variants of the myth have Artemis saving Iphigenia. The matter of whether or not gods are fair, or should be fair, is a whole matter of debate that I have no time to get into, but if we compare her to Athena, for example, then I would say that she’s fair.

If we discuss Orion, he’s characterized as a typical son of Poseidon (we’re going to ignore the version with Poseidon, Zeus, Hermes and a bull hide. If you’re curious, it’s on Wikipedia). He has a large, commanding presence, a giant who could walk on water. He is blinded after attacking a princess, and after being healed by Helios, he meets Artemis and Leto. He’s a very skilled hunter, and boasts that he will kill every beast on Earth. Gaia, mother Earth and more famously the mother of these beasts, sends a scorpion to kill him. After his death, Artemis asks Zeus to place him up in the stars, which he does.

In many ways his characterization echoes similar Greek heroes, primarily other sons of Poseidon, Theseus and Bellerophon, and of course, as this is Greek myth: Heracles.

Orion is the only man Artemis exhibits feelings for, having a strong bond from hunting together. Whether or not this is romantic is really up to you. If anything, they're close, enough that when he is killed by his own hubris, she asks for him to be put into the stars. I’ve seen this used as an example of why she’s demiromantic asexual, or sometimes her relationship with Orion is shoved under the rug. I don’t think this relationship is a la Athena, like her and Odysseus, for example, and it isn’t on the Aphrodite side. While it is fun to try and look at god’s sexualities, I would say that in the Greek Pantheon canon, her relationship with Orion should be viewed as romantic. Or, for any a-spec people, a QPP.

This is all to say that I think that Artemis being summoned with Orion, for me, makes sense. She was one of the first goddesses to appear in fate/grand order. I think that their subversion of expectation by making her actually be Artemis, and not just a cis-swapped Orion, was actually kind of smart for fate? It’s still…not good…because Orion is a teddy bear… but I mean… part of it was smart, I guess.

Artemis being summoned with Orion makes sense because Orion was the only hero Artemis cared for. She mourned for his death. If you wish to summon a goddess, having one that is perhaps with the hero that they cared most for, makes sense to me. If Hera comes with Jason, or Athena with Odysseus, or if Aeneas gets summoned with his mom Aphrodite.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t explain a) why Orion hates Artemis or b) why Artemis acts like that.

Anyways, now we gotta talk more about Greek Mythology and why it’s complicated.

Greek Mythology likes to push gods together. Dionysus is probably a whole bunch of gods squished together which is why his characterization makes no sense. Aphrodite is probably much older than Ancient Greece and probably comes from somewhere else, which is why her backstory is confusing. Poseidon and Zeus are likely the same Indo-European god, just split in two. Some gods are the literal beings of things: Gaia, the Earth, with her son/husband Uranus, the sky. The mountains, the sea, the ocean, the darkness, the night, the underworld and the eternal chaos, are all gods, too.

This makes a lot of gods are not…necessary? Okay that’s rude. But a lot of gods have similar roles. This sometimes results in gods being squished together, like with Dionysus. The most common variant of this is with Apollo and Helios, and Artemis and Selene.

Helios and Selene, and their sister Eos, the dawn, continue the days with their chariots by drawing the sun, the night, or the dawn, behind them. Sometimes they’re also the personification of the sun or the moon, which is why Helios can see all. Apollo taking over the role of drawing the chariot of the sun wasn’t hard, because Helios isn’t really known for too many myths and ultimately Apollo’s characterization is pretty simple, but Artemis and Selene were a little bit more difficult, because of one myth, about a man named Endymion.

Endymion is a beautiful man, and Selene falls head over heels in love with him. Unfortunately, because she is either the moon or can only come out at night, she only sees him when he’s sleeping. But that’s okay! Some variants of the myth have it so that she prefers when he’s sleeping! Anyways, she goes to Zeus, and asks for him to be immortal. Depending on the variant of the myth, he either needs to keep him asleep so he remains immortal, or she asks for him to remain asleep. Either way, she marries him, and has 50 children with him. While he’s asleep. Selene, please. That’s… that’s not consensual Selene.

So, when Selene’s myths were going to be combined with Selene’s, this one has never really fit. Diana, the Roman equivalent, does have the Endymion myth attached to her as well, but again, it doesn’t really work with the rest of Artemis’ (or Diana’s) myths. This one sticks out as basically Selene’s myth, which was awkwardly tacked onto Artemis.

Now I hope you can see where I’m trying to go with this in terms of fate/grand order.

I feel like FGO wanted to incorporate Orion, because he’s a famous Greek archer. And perhaps they didn’t know how they wanted to design him, or maybe originally, he was going to be a cis-swap, with more moon aesthetic because he is in the stars. It’s difficult to really say. Either way, when the twist that it’s actually Artemis with Orion as a tiny bear was decided upon, and the question of how to characterize Artemis, and Orion, came up. For some reason they were at the ‘we can’t have heterosexual couples in fgo’ part of FGO (thanks Cleopatra and Caesar), so instead of having them be either two good friends who help and have a strong bond with each other, or having them be romantic partners, they decided to have them be the stock ‘husband hates wife who loves him’ trope.

(side note but thank you lost belt for writing good heterosexual couples I love Sigurd/Brynhildr).

This may have come from Artemis’ “myth” with Endymion. Endymion, while probably well known in Japan because of Sailor Moon, probably isn’t strong enough as a hero. So, they took “Artemis’” characterization with Endymion and used it with Orion. Instead of telling the real story.

This is still really shitty on so many levels. The terrible writing. The fact that they took a bond formed on hunting talent and turned it into…that. Artemis’ ‘useless goddess’ personality, because for some reason goddesses can’t be talented and strong in their own rights, and have to be clumsy and ‘useless’. The continued problem with fate where a female character can’t be a little more complex. The fact that even if Artemis, in this interpretation, loves Orion, if you ask, male master, she will totally leave him and will love you. This continues to be a reoccurring problem, even with newer female characters.

Her design. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget the design.

When you picture Artemis, you imagine a muscled, sporty woman, probably around early twenties, with a bow, arrows, and a deer. Her hair is pulled back and her clothes don’t exhibit her from the hunt. She’s not commonly sexualized, partly because of the vow of chastity, but she isn’t in the sense that Athena wasn’t sexualized, for example, or Hestia, another virgin goddess.

The design for Artemis is more similar to Aphrodite with some moon aspects thrown in.

I’m not saying the design is…. bad…I’m just saying it’s bad for her. This is not what you imagine an Artemis, or a Diana, for example. It feels too sexual for someone who, based on the myths, doesn’t exhibit a desire for sex. I do enjoy the bow and the moon aspects, and I think if it was Selene, it would probably work pretty well. But it doesn’t work for an Artemis.

(Also, her skillset doesn’t really work with Artemis either. I digress. This is too long anyways.)

So, what we get is a tacked-on myth and characterization that fits Selene on top of Artemis, for a hero that Selene doesn’t even interact with, Orion. This culminates in Artemis being a ditsy, love-obsessed, useless goddess that keeps Orion in an abusive relationship. However, fgo has given itself, and is slowly working on, a way to fix this.

This is when we put our thinking caps on.

This is mainly from Beast’s Lair from what I gather, so props to them for this. Mainly the idea is that Artemis isn’t a goddess, but a robot. There are a couple of pieces to support this idea. Ishtar, when discussing Orion, says, “I hear that person is a deity of Greece? I guess she is a robot?”

During the most recent summer event, Artemis gets upset when Orion doesn’t want to buy doujins related to robots. Finally, there’s her final art, which includes her pulling a reactor-like device from her hip/thigh.

Whether or not this is true I don’t know and why fate is doing this but anyways.

The second thing is that Orion might be showing up in Lost Belt, and probably Lost Belt 5, which is going to be centered around Greek servants. Spoilers but it’s probably going to include Poseidon, who is Orion’s father, so there could be something to that that they could explore. Furthermore, Lost Belt has done a good job at creating healthy, heterosexual relationships. If this Artemis is a robot, then maybe Orion is the real Orion. Maybe Orion likes this version of Artemis, like how Sigurd likes Brynhildr, despite her strong personality. Maybe it will be revealed that Artemis is really Selene, and the teddy bear is Endymion, trapped. Maybe she acts like this because those who created her didn’t understand her myths.

Anyways. I try to end these by possible improvements but we just have to wait until Lost Belt 5 is released, I guess.

I guess what I’m saying is that FGO has a lot that they can do to make Artemis work. And they don’t want her to be shoved under the rug. So, they should do the good things with her. Continue the trend with healthy heterosexual relationships (and some non-fetishistic homosexual ones, please, too) in Lost Belt, please.

And finally, Artemis deserves better.

✦; HEADCANNONS #1

✧ sans works at least 4 confirmed jobs -- comedian act at mettaton’s resorts, ‘illegal’ ‘dog stand, royal guard sentry, & fried snow vendor -- plus a few other odd jobs that aren’t quite as known or frequent. sans is in extreme debt, & is constantly working to catch up on numerous bills, ect. ( x )

✧ sans is extremely scarred from both the resets & a nihilistic life-style even before that. suffering from both PTSD & other unidentified anxiety inducing disorders. his main triggers are knives, blood, & dust. ( x )

✧ sans is a fan of doctor who -- mainly classic who, though. ( x )

✧ when sans can’t sleep, he often spends time reading up / brushing up back on science subjects, ect. post-pacifist it’s reading theories & such on his phone & spending time in a lab environment; while underground, re-reading the same books again & again. ( x )

✧ sans usually doesn’t curse much at all due to a life-time raising his brother, but at times can curse like a sailor -- usually when he’s drunk, frustrated, at work, or extremely rowdy. often depends upon the company as well. if he curses around you either it means he’s relaxed or in a terrible mood. ( x )

✧ sans, by nature, is a monster that wants nothing more than to believe in & hope for the best in others . he may not show it, but alike his brother, he believes in you, only he’s far more knowledgeable of the trials & difficulties that come with being ‘good’. more realistic, you might say. he might not show it often, but he believes in you. due to this nature, sans at first wanted nothing more than to believe the first geno run / neutral runs were mistakes -- never confronting frisk until the end out of a hope they’d snap out of it. they never did. ( x )

✧ even before the resets sans was a nihilistic, depressed monster. when frisk first showed up, he was slow to warm up to them -- but they were the first thing to finally, honestly, actually give him hope. he finally really believed in something, in someone. but then the resets happened. & his hope was cut down, time & time & time again. ( x )

✧ sans’ had crushes / squishes -- confusing forms of affection on a few notable monsters at some point in his life. in fact, he used to be asexual / aromantic until he slowly became more & more aware of the fact that wasn’t quite true. the shift from being ace to demi in both sexuality & romance was a difficult & weird time of his life, especially considering the skeleton usually doesn’t care either way. if you were to label him, he’d be demi-pansexual & demi-panromantic. ( x )

✧ either sans has learned how to magically make a rimshot noise out of nothing or carries around an app on his phone to do it for him -- either way, seriously. ( x )

✧ sans may be a fragile monster with 1 HOPE, but he won’t die unless he sustains extreme harm from a non-living object, or another creature harms him with the intent to KILL / maim him. a blow with the intent to kill will dust him on the spot -- attacks with harmful intent will do major damage as is & still have the chance to kill him if not treated. but damage from intimate objects & of the sort won’t kill unless major damage is caused. so far, only few know of sans’ low HP, unless priorly discussed. ( x )

✧ when needing a nickname in the multiverse, sans goes by ‘impact’. ( x )

✧ sans isn’t always cool & collected, at times being almost quick to anger, blame, & judge others. he’s paranoid & flawed, & known to be downright nasty if the right buttons are pushed. he’s bitter, & often close to having a panic attack, lashing out, or snapping at others -- but he’s learned how to play it off, deflect, & putting on a mask. ( x, x )

✧ sans plays the trombone, kazoo, & kazookeylele. he oftens goes around the underground playing one or the other, just because he can. ( x )

✧ sans can actually cook quite decently; from ‘dogs using tyhpa plants, to specializing in baking from toriel’s gifted recipes, he doesn’t do so often. not too many people know he cooks, either. usually just paps & tori -- it’s not something he sees a point in sharing. ( x )

✧ based on canon alone, sans’ height is a mystery. depending upon which source you look at, he’s anywhere from 4′3″ to being a giant. his height for this interpretation has been tentatively put at 5′3″ - 5′5″. ( x )

✧ sans’ relationship with gaster is also a mystery. canon doesn’t explicitly define their dynamic beyond them possibly knowing one another -- & seeing as i haven’t personally defined their relationship either, this blog instead chooses to go along with whichever dynamic the gaster i’m currently roleplaying with sets & is comfortable with most any dynamic, from being sans’ dad, lover, brother, employer, co-worker, creator, ect. to often decide, i’ll look at the gaster’s blog for specifics or IM them. ( x )

✧ to earn sans’ favor; laugh at his jokes & enjoy his sense of humor; listen to when he speaks & coax him into telling you his troubles; enjoy his passion for science & the stars; understand the days & moments when he’s not at his best, be patient for the constant demons & nightmares plaguing him. ( x, x, x, x )

**BONUS CAMPAIGN: The Miracle Cure, Part Two**

Back with Wood-Leaf and Antella, who’s still holding Wood-Leaf hostage in his rat form, they’re still trying to locate Pun’era. Antella deduces that Pun’era is likely at the cemetery since that seems to be the literal worst place she can possibly be. She asks a sulky-looking villager where the cemetery is, and the villager wordlessly points her in the direction before wandering off. Antella heads in that direction and finds the cemetery easily then proceeds to call out for Pun’era as she wanders the grounds searching for her. However, when Pun’era doesn’t respond, she becomes worried and starts frantically searching for her. Unfortunately, she begins to sink into the soft soil of the graves almost as if it were quicksand, and her stout size and heavy armor weigh her down too much. She lets go of Wood-Leaf in order to remove some of her heavy armor and save herself. Wood-Leaf turns back into his elf form and starts sinking right alongside her. Antella successfully removes enough armor be lighten her load and pull herself out. She reaches out to grab Wood-Leaf, but in his panic he starts to pull her back in. Refusing to go back, she shouts and startles Wood-Leaf out of his panicked flailing, and she’s able to pull him to safety.

They resume searching the cemetery, this time much more wary of the ground, and as they venture further in, the graves are empty as if they’ve been dug up and robbed, and a few of the bones of the corpses are dented. Ten minutes pass, and neither of them can see or hear any sign of Pun’era anywhere, and Antella starts becoming increasingly worried. Wood-Leaf decides to turn into a weasel and try digging around in the dirt to see if he can find some kinda clue. Antella finds the corpse of a vulture with its head missing and a piece of fabric that looks strikingly similar to what Pun’era was wearing. Antella fears that she got into a fight while in the cemetery, but by the looks of it she won and likely kept wandering. She gets the idea that maybe she got swallowed by one of the graves.

Wood-Leaf and Antella start to bicker because he think they should just leave Pun’era behind, and as they bicker he leans against a gravestone and it shifts under his weight. Just then, a hatch opens leading down somewhere via staircase. Antella decides they need to see where it leads, so she shoves Wood-Leaf down the hatch. He tries to dodge, but she winds up knocking him down too hard and he gets knocked unconscious when he hits the bottom.

Pun’era, meanwhile, is in a jail cell underground and hears Wood-Leaf hit the bottom of the stairs. Looking out from the cell, she walks right out between the bars. She calls out to attract attention so her friends can find her. However, she shouts so loud that she causes a miniature earthquake.

Back with Warren, he’s too enthralled by being led through the temple and inducted into the religion that he doesn’t even notice the earthquake, though all the other clerics are all too aware that something has just happened. The priest -- Who is actually named Vestein -- pauses for a moment before continuing onward to the next room, which holds many different robes worn by those who follow the rteligion of the temple, and there are many tables and bookshelves along the wall. Vestein tells him this is where the members congregate and talk with each other and share knowledge. Vestein leaves Warren by himself for a bit to prepare for the feast in one of the other corridors. There are three different rooms he can explore: One to the left, one to the right, and one directly in front of him. He chooses to go into the left room.

The left room looks like a cave with a winding tunnel and stalagmites and mud-covered floors. There are people grinding up herbs and other ingredients, and this appears to be the apothecary where the healing plants and ingredients are cultivated. Warren enters and takes notes on everything he sees before approaching one of the followers and asking about the plants they’re grinding, how everything is prepared, what’s grown here, etc. Looking at the table he notices that there are actually body parts spread alongside the plants such as toes and small bones, and he also spots mortflesh, which is taken from corpses and zombies. He’s slightly horrified and questions why they have them if they’re supposed to be healers. The elf woman responds that it’s only natural they would have them as how else would they study how to cure the disease and study its effects? She offers Warren a mortar and pestle so he can craft alongside her, but he notices her movements in her wrists and her hands are stilted and stiff, and her eyes are pale. He questions why she seems to be in such bad shape -- After all, those with power to heal would surely heal themselves, right? -- but she just handwaves his concerns and says that all power and knowledge requires some form of sacrifice. He’s really suspicious, but he keeps his suspicions to himself and sets to work grinding a few ingredients together in the mortar and pestle: Chaurus egg, juniper berry, spriggan sap, wist wrappings, and boid salts. With these ingredients, he crafts a glowing concoction that smells like chocolate but tastes like lime. It’s a slight aphrodesiac, but if consumed allows you to pass through objects of any kind and leave zero evidence. Thankfully, being asexual, he’s immune to the side effect of increased lust.However, the elf woman gives him a side-eye and scooches away from a bit, though he’s oblivious to the sexual side-effect and is confused why she suddenly moved away.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT SCRUB. WE GOTTA SEE HOW THE OTHERS ARE DOING! After descending the stairway, Antella happens upon Wood-Leaf (and accidentally steps on him) and tries to wake him up. Just then, she feels the ground shake, and although she felt the earthquake, she doesn’t hear the bard. She picks up Wood-Leaf effortlessly and heads deeper into the cavern in search of the bard. She calls out to Pun’era and rounds a corner to see a large door. She opens it and is greeted with the sound of pleasant music and a warm, inviting feeling. In the middle of the room is Pun’era playing a song on her harp, which she immediately stops upon seeing Antella and rushes to give her a hug. Antella looks around the room and notices, among the less inviting things in the room like the smashed skeletons and remnants of what was perhaps furniture rotted away and dilapidated, she spots some leaflets and a large book, which she picks up to see what it says. Unfortunately, she’s unable to make any sense of it. Pun’era, on the other hand, snatches it from her and is able to decipher it. The book is a doctrine of witchcraft and rituals and codexes. Antella’s suspicious about this since, presumably, a cleric wouldn’t need to know witchcraft, not to mention the empty graves in the cemetery and the fact there’s a hidden access panel leading here at all. Something’s definitely not adding up, and Antella is worried that Warren has gotten himself in over his head.

She decides to craft some kind of weapon to defend herself since she had to give up her items to escape the mud earlier. She manages to make a club out of the broken down furniture, by which I mean the ripped the leg off a table and is now using it for a weapon. She tries to wake up Wood-Leaf by slapping him and fails, though Pun’era is frightened by the display. Pun’era tosses Antella a wine cask to see if pouring it on his head will wake him. She pours it on him and stains his clothes, but it doesn’t wake him up. In desperation, she smacks him with the now empty cask, and that fails as well. With that, she gives up on awakening him, and Pun’era explains that she found her way down here after getting kidnapped by a “brain bird” that exploded from a giant vulture, and Antella takes it as confirmation that some shady crap is going on in this town. She decides to explore the underground a little more and see if there’s anything else they should be aware of. Pun’era takes them to the jail cells where she was, and Antella decides to check things out.

A few of the jail cells are empty with only furniture, one appears to be used for storage, and the others have skeletons of forgotten prisoners and slime trails leading in and out of each cell. They enter Pun’era’s former cell, and she points to a hole in the ceiling that she was dropped down into, and Antella notes that it is grave-shaped and she can see the gray sky of the town. She decides to follow a goo trail leading to a door, and behind the door is a long tunnel that gets thinner and slimmer as they go forward. They hear a squelching and squishing, and they see a mound of rot fall from a body in one of the cells and slither away to join three other rotted flesh mounds behind them, all of which transform into a quartet of manes behind them, but they make no moves to attack them. Pun’era decides to try to make friends since they don’t seem hostile and rushes forward to give one of them a hug despite the stench and horrifying appearance. Antella’s just slightly too slow to catch her due to Wood-Leaf weighing her down. The mane shrieks and turns back into a puddle of goo, then slithers its way behind her and reforms. Antella prepares her club and prepares to attack if it makes any move to hurt Pun’era. The mane doesn’t make any move to attack, however, and the other manes still seems passive.

Antella tries to communicate and asks if they can understand her, though they can’t seem to talk back. The mane stares at her, though none of them move. She tries speaking to them again, this time making a few gestures. It makes a few gurgles and blood oozes from its mouth, then it nods its head. She takes that as a sign that it understands, then asks it what happened to it. It’s at this point Wood-Leaf starts waking up. He panics at first and starts yelling and flailing until he realizes that Antella’s holding him. The manes are frightened by his display and turn back into puddles and starts backing off. Antella drops Wood-Leaf and tells him to calm down, and she tries explaining that the creatures can understand, but he is skeptical because all he sees are rotted goo puddles. He pokes one with an arrow and annoys them into reforming, at which point he hides behind Antella and turns into one of his animal forms.

Antella tries talking to one of the manes again and asks if they were murdered, and the mane responds with another gurgle and a nod. She struggles with more things to ask since it seems they can only answer yes or no questions, then an idea comes to her. She asks Pun’era if she kept the book she found, but she’s too busy chasing Wood-Leaf around. However, she left her satchel , and Antella rummages around in it until she founds the (slightly sticky and crumb-covered) book. She shows it to the manes, and they recoil in horror and screech. Some of them return to their gelatinous form, though the one she’s speaking with keeps his form. Seeing their distress, she sets the book down and backs away to show them she has no intention of using it on them. The mane creeps forward a bit and pokes around the book warily before rolling it open to a particular page. The page tells the story of a beggar prince, and they shove the book back toward Antella. She skims the page and notices things like diseases and gangrene and leprosy, and “beggar” is repeated multiple times. Not making any sense of the words by themselves, she decides to slow down and actually read the story.

It’s titled “Beggar Prince” and tells the story of a prince who begged the Daedric goddess Namira for apprenticeship and was “blessed” with curses that made him pitiable and irrelevant. That’s the super duper abridged version, anyways. Antella surmises that something foul is going on with the temple, and Warren will likely need to be rescued. The manes start to leave, but she asks one to tell her how to get to the temple from the underground. He points toward a door, then reverts to his jelly-like form and leaves with the others. Antella puts the book back in the bard’s satchel, and she leads the party through the door the mane pointed out to her. The door seems barred from the other side, so Antella tries to kick it open and pretty much turns it to splinters. She enters and motions the others to follow her.

The room is dripping with black slime from the ceiling and onto the floor as snails crawl around, and it appears they’ve walked out into some kind of balcony. They hear faint chanting from outside the room, and basically directly below them appears to be some kind of flaming altar. They hear the chanting and stay hidden up on the balcony. Wood-Leaf reverts to a rat form, and Antella and Pun’era are small enough that they can easily hide themselves up in the balcony.

Meanwhile with Warren, he makes yet another potion, this one a potion called “Eagle Splendor” that makes someone more charming, poised, and persuasive, able to convince anyone to do about anything with irresistable charisma and suaveness. However, it only lasts about five minutes. He pockets the potion and heads out to the main room to peruse some of the books in the small library to see if there are other signs that something is amiss. He’s approached by another member, a male dwarf, who seeks to talk to him because he’s bored. Warren tries to seem enthusiastic and interested as he was before, but he’s a terrible liar and is acting incredibly odd and suspicious. Luckily for him, the dwarf just brushes it off as a case of jitters and offers to help Warren look for an interesting book to tell him anything he wants to know. Warren mentions being Farroan, and the dwarf acts offended, as Farroway has a bad reputation among non-humans and he chides him on how pretentious and shallow the philosophy of that city is. Warren frantically backpedals and assures the dwarf he most definitely doesn’t agree with how Farroans act, and he’s totally not a racist xenophobe like them, and he wants to learn how to be better, and he’s totally not racist like his hometown because he travels with non-humans and even has an orc friend! He then tries asking the dwarf again about whether he can tell him the origins of the temple and the god they worship. However, the dwarf brushes off his questions and points out a book that can possibly help him.

Warren opens it up and sees it’s a scroll of divination. He tunes out most of the dwarf’s words as he tells him the basic rules and ettiquete of the library. The scroll shows different scrolls and prayers to pray to their detity and gathering diving energy and items to make holy signs and images and blessed locations, along with different spells and prayers. The dwarf tells him how to check out the scroll before going off to do his own thing. Warren checks out the book, and only afterward does it occur to him it probably would have been a better idea to write a false name instead of using his real one.

Nearby, he can hear a few people praying and decides to eavesdrop and hopefully avoid looking suspicious by pretending to read the scroll he’s checked out. He fails and he gets the attention of a few of the priests because they could feel him watching them. He apologizes for the distraction and tries to hurriedly shuffle away but one of them calls him back to pray with them since he’ll be joining them soon enough. Warren, although hesitant, agrees to join them. They hand him a book of scripture and hymns in an unfamiliar language, and he’s actually able to understand it due to his high intelligence. He recognizes the language as daedric, and a weight forms in the pit of his stomach as his suspicions are confirmed. This “temple” is, indeed, a terrible place, and the clerics are actually cultists to a daedric god. He has to get out of here FAST, but he has to try to stay calm and avoid looking suspicious. Whatever happens, he can’t allow himself to be inducted into this cult. Panic crosses his face and he drops the book, drawing the attention and suspicion of all present, However, before they can act on it, Vestein returns and declares that it’s time to begin the ceremony to induct Warren into the cult. The cultists bow before him as he approaches Warren with a strange potion in hand and leads everyone into the ritual hall.

In an attempt to save himself, Warren makes up a lie about having to urgently and immediately use the bathroom and insists that he must leave right now. Everyone awkwardly pauses in confusion and a little bit of disgust, and Vestein tells one of the elders to accompany Warren to the private rooms, but Warren insists that he has to be alone otherwise he can’t go. He’s incredibly long-winded and stuttery and awkward about it, but Vestein allows Warren to leave alone. Or so Warren thinks. Vestein has one of the elders, a human cleric and fire mage named Nikolai who specializes in stealth, secretly follow him. Warren, being frightened and paranoid as hell, quickly leaves and constantly looks around and behind him just to be absolutely sure he’s alone. Unfortunately, due to his extremely low wisdom stat, he fails to notice the man following him. Once he’s sure he’s far enough away, he fucking bolts for the exit in hopes that once he returns to the town proper, he’ll be able to locate his companions and tell them what he’s learned.

Unfortunately, Nikolai casts a spell to give himself a burst of speed and easilly catches up with Warren, grabs him, and pins him against a wall. He then uses a gaze attack to paralyze him with fear, and he uses the fear to channel telepathy and manipulate him into rejoining the ceremony and behaving like the other cultists. He doesn’t take him out of malice, but because he truly believes in what the cult is doing, He, along with all the other cultists, believes they’re doing the right thing and are truly helping people.

Had Warren been in his right mind and not afraid, he would have remembered the potion he made that makes him super impressionable and makes people want to do what he says to convince the cultists to stop what they’re doing. Or he could have used the intangibility potion to allow for an even better escape, but instead he didn’t think because he was panicked. Dammit.

Meanwhile, Antella has been able to hear Warren in the other room from her hiding spot in the balcony, and she starts to formulate a plan to save him when she hears him suddenly making frantic excuses to leave the hall. She decides, judging by how unconvincing and frightened he sounds, he realized something is very wrong and is trying to flee. Wood-Leaf suggests sneaking out and investigating. Afraid that Waren might not make it, Antella decides their mission is no longer an investigation, but a rescue. Antella tells Wood-Leaf to sneak into the room and scope it out to see how many people there are and whether Warren is with them. He successfully sneaks and notices that Warren is not only among them, but even wearing their robes and singing along. He reports back to Antella and says Warren’s too far gone to save and he’s been converted, and it would be better to just leave him. However, Antella is adamant that they need to rescue him and shut the temple down.

She decides the best way to do this is with a distraction. She asks Wood-Leaf what the biggest animal he can turn into is, and he responds with “an oilphaunt” which is basically a giant scary elephant mount. She tells him to transform into that, make a huge scene, and make enough of a distraction that Antella and Pun’era won’t be noticed as they rescue Warren. Wood-Leaf balks at her plan and suggests that he sneak in as a mouse, sneak into their garden -- He can smell the plant life, and being underground he just knows there’s going to be a surplus of roots -- and use his nature magic to make the plants wrap their vines and roots around the cultists and restrain them so they can save Warren without any casualties or destruction. Antella agrees to that plan and sends him off while she grabs Pun’era and climbs dwn from the balcony.

Wood-Leaf is able to sneak into the garden unseen and take control of the plants. Vines snake their way across the ground and no one notices until it’s too late. The vines start to wrap around their legs and feet, and everyone starts to panic. Antella runs into the room and is able to quickly locate Warren. Unfortunately, some of the people have fire abilities and have been able to burn the vines off of them. Wood-Leaf turns back into his elven form and warns Antella his plan is a bust, then he turns into a bird and flies away. Antella makes a beeline for Warren and attempts to grab him and bolt. However, the fire from the burning vines is filling the chamber with smoke, and it’s becoming more difficult to tell him from the other cultists. Unfortunately, she fails the perception check and grabs the wrong person. The one she grabs is actually Nikolai. Upon realizing her mistake, she throws him and rushes back into the chamber to hopefully grab the right person this time. She throws him hard enough that he loses consciousness upon hitting the ground. Running back in the room, she spots Pun’era having trouble breathing from the smoke. She carries her and resumes searching for Warren, a task which becomes much easier as he begins to panic and attempt to flee now that Nikolai’s telepathic hold on him is broken.

Unfortunately, between his panic and all the smoke, he fails to spot Antella until he crashes into her, and the two go end over end tumbling out of the room. Warren, fearing he blundered into Vestein, starts kicking and flailing and throwing terrified punches and trying to get away. Antella, frustrated, gives him a hard slap to make him calm down. She succeeds, and he’s overjoyed to see her. He insists they run, but Antella refuses because Wood-Leaf in still in the room, and although he would never go back for them, she refuses to be like him and insists they return to save him. Wood-Leaf, unknown to them, has been trying to dig a hole up the the above ground to vent out the smoke, but the heat and the smoke make him too weak to continue. He hears screaming and tries to fly out to them, but he’s so weak he transforms back into his elf form just as he leaves the room and he lands right on top of Warren and Antella.

Warren insists they leave immediately, but Antella can’t bear to just yet. She asks Warren if the cultists are completely, irredeemably, one hundred percent evil. He says he isn’t sure since most people that worship daedra are either truly evil or simply misguided; you never really know which one. SInce there’s a chance they’re just misguided, Antella insists they have to save them otherwise they’ll either burn alive or die from the smoke. She mentions that since there’s a garden down here, that means there’s also some kind of watering system like an aqueduct or irrigation or something, so they just need to find the water and put out the fires, but Warren didn’t get to see where it was during his tour of the place. Thankfully, Wood-Leaf knows where it is, so he can go back in and flood the place while everyone else works on getting the cultists to safety.

The priests, on the other hand, usher everyone into the inner sanctum to protect their holy artifacts, seemingly more willing to die in their temple than flee to safety. Antella tries to reason with them to leave, but they refuse to listen to her because they blame her and the others for the destruction of their holy place. Only then does Warren remember the potion he made that would max his charisma and compel others to listen to him. Thinking quickly, he takes the vials of potions from his pockets, but the heavy smoke makes it difficult to tell which is which. Then he remembers that the potions have distinct scents, so he decides to smell them to see which is which. This turns out to be a great idea as the first one he picked was the intangibility, NOT charisma. With this check done he downs the charisma potion and begins to speak to the congregation, urging them to come with them to safety and abandon their occultist ways. His speech is completely successful and the people perk up at his words. They agree that they should leave, and they return to the surface in the temple, and even Antella is compelled to follow his orders to leave, and she follows everyone out of the temple.

Thanks to Warren’s command to abandon all daedric worship, the cultists decide to ditch their faith in Namira and choose a new, true god to worship so they can legitimately heal people. Also, all the occultist artifacts and whatnot got burned up in the fire, so now everyone that was affected is free from the thrall and able to recover their health and vitality. Overall, the city is now much better of, and everyone is safe.

Unfortunately, Wood-Leaf was out of range for Warren’s speech, so he’s still going with the “put out all the fire” plan, and when he returns to find the place empty he’s completely angry. Upon leaving and finding the party, he chews them out for abandoning him after making such a huge deal about not leaving anyone behind, and he refuses to believe Antella when she says Warren did something that forced her to listen to him. She now owes him big time between this and shoving him down the stairs earlier. She agrees to buy him all the mead he can drink as an apology.

Only now does the group realize that Grogarath is still missing. However, as they start to frantically search, they see a hulking figure on the horizon, and they immediately recognize it as Grogarath.

When Grogarath FINALLY returns to the city, he’s incredibly confused. There’s something on fire in the distance, there’s a crowd of people in religious robes and several other townsfolk hailing Warren as a hero, and the rest of the party is bickering about something. When they rush over to him, he asks what’s going on, only for them to immediately question him since he’s been gone for God knows how long, he’s wearing a bedsheet toga, and he’s got a bunch of random mystery items with him. He refuses to answer and just tell them he’s going to sell all the items and makes tons of money because they sem really valuable, even though he has no idea what any of them are.

All in all, things end happily, and the group are heroes.
