#IM ONE OF YOU!!!! IM IN THE CLOWN'S DOMAIN

[year2000electronics]

Game over, boys! ♪ Thanks for playing! ♪

[xixovart]

mali’s hcs for aquaman’s doppelgänger i think (percy. it’s percy.)

love my og homie

i'm coming in hard and strong (that's what she said) and saying that percy would NOT love taylor swift!!!! percy is an edgy teenage SKATER BOY!!!!!! he listens to d4vd tame impala childish gambino arctic monkeys and the neighbourhood!!!!! stop the percy swiftie allegations!!!

i know this is basically canon in the show but percy, like nico, was an absolute pain in the ass for sally. this kid would draw all over. everything. do not give a six year old percy a marker he will draw on your fancy white couch. or eat it. could be either.

sally having to fight for her LIFE to get a nine year old percy to wake up for school. “mom i can't go to school im sick” “you just accidentally kicked me in the face with the strength of a motivated horse you liar”

honestly she was so done with his bs. 5th grade for percy was an ERA.

“percy no you cannot put your hand in a blender.” 

“percy we do not eat rocks.”

“percy get up from the floor, we are at the supermarket. no you cannot have a fruit roll up.”

“percy it’s three in the morning why would you want to go to the zoo.” “to see the penguins ☹️”

korra coded

reminder that he’s canonically a skater i’ll never get over this.

he loves band shirts and has a bunch of posters all around his dorm

i think he likes the rain, even though it’s zeus’ domain. it just calms him down. (im projecting)

reminder that percy isn’t dumb he’s just chaotic

percabeth skating dates i'm hyperventilating 

he really hated third grade. when asked about it he will say “the chaos and the mind games…” and not elaborate 

percy “grover is my wife” jackson

percy was actually pretty quiet in school. he wasn’t usually a class clown, he’s just the quiet disabled kid who got crappy grades (and was absolutely stunning i should mention)

captain of the school swim team <3

really likes 7/11??? for some reason?

the second he got his licence (and a car) he would nEVER stop driving. after tartarus, he would space out and disassociate, and he often had panic attacks. driving with no destination helps him calm down.  (IM PROJECTING)

estelle absolutely adores her brother. like never leaves his side. she would cling to his leg whenever he had to leave and she would BEG to come along whenever percy and annabeth went on a date

he eats a LOT. like so much.

he got used to using military time after his training with lupa and his time at camp jupiter :)

“you are just a boy, you are no man, and nobody you know will understand.” except it’s about percy in the original series, who was so heavily relied on to be a hero that he lost his sense of self. we as a fandom joke about this so much but percy lost his innocence for the people who ruined his and his loved ones’ lives. he sacrificed his humanity because of the gods’ blatant abuse and ignorance of their children. he is a child for the entirety of the original series, a child who has gone through so much and so rarely gets a break. even when he’s in school, when he’s not at camp and doesn’t have to worry about olympus, he still fucking does. he still never rests easily because the world’s fate hinges on HIM. not zeus, not his father, him. the scene with atlas was so significant because it represents so much. in a literal sense, percy, annabeth, and luke—the three who carried atlas’ burden—had the fate of the world on their shoulders. one shrug and the world could collapse. what most of the fandom fails to see is that the second percy was claimed, his childhood ended.

IM FINALLY MAKING OC LORE POST YALL BETTER HYPE ME UP. Starting with explaining the premise of the main antagonist in my story, Pandemonium. Once you know his whole thing My others characters will make much more sense. heres an ref of him for newcomers

Anyways into the lore mines.

Trickster God of Mischief, Deception, and Illusions. It oversees all mortal affairs concerning these domains. Pandemonium was created for the purpose of spreading entertainment and surprise to mortals. However, he quickly grew bored of this task and sought to create entertainment only for himself, rather than for the mortals he was created for.

He began to make deals with mortals, or as he calls them, “Stories.” He would prey on mortals in vulnerable situations, promising them solutions. But the deals were always rigged. Through illusions and lies, he set them up in ways where the deal maker was bound to fail.

He called these deals stories, because of the effort he put into each one. He was creating storylines. Pandemoniums goal isn’t how many people he can trick, but how grand he could do it. In some situations it even lead to him creating Entire Illusioned worlds for the deal maker to be tricked in. (This will be a bit clearer once i explain the premise of some of the deals hes already made..)

When a deal is broken or failed, Pandemonium turns them into his puppets. (puppets are always dressed in clown/jester attire, no matter the previous aesthetic. mortals are his court jesters lmfao)

how his puppets curse works:

He stores their souls in mind prisons, the mind prisons reflect the person and their traumas. There is a “window” to the eyes in all of them, so the puppeted person can still see through their own eyes. (If you try to close your eyes in the mind prison to look away, you start seeing out of your Actual Eyes. There is No Escape.) Puppets are still capable of feeling pain inflicted to their bodies. Pandemonium thrives off pain, and torments his puppets to no end. What are they gonna do it about it. Say something? The puppets can still talk to an extent, but he filters out and silences anything he Doesn’t Want to hear, so a lot of mortals just give up on trying. They are just toys to him now. And toys can always be put back together no matter how many times you break them.

other random stuff:

Pandemonium has a storage room for all his puppets when he’s not playing with them. Its a long, infinite (aka you could just keep going Up or Down forever.) cylinder shaped room. Along the walls are stairs that twist and turn and quite frankly Don’t Make Sense. In the hollow center of this room, cabinet’s float. There is a cabinet for each puppet, and they r personalized to the mortal. Some of the puppets who have been long forgotten have probably been floating around in this room for years. Yayyy.

I have a small drawing but erm its a bit old and i never finished it. all those boxes r suppose to be cabinets lmfao

erm i tried to compress this as much as possible so there are details left out but. i think this is a pretty good summary.. if u have any questions/something is confusing. Bink bink.

[sweetepic]

lately i feel like blogging again. i like posting hideous opinion pieces which i personally think is a good outlet for creativity. last time i had a blog it got deleted by blogger because evan williams is a fat stinking piece of shit. when i first started troubleshooting this is what the google help desk gave me.

just in case i wanted to kill myself i guess.

that was a year ago now. i tried at least getting the domain back but they wouldnt let me. i hope evan williams slips on a banana peel and falls down 34 flights of stairs.

but yesterday i did actually get my shit back. i had to do the code all over again because i lost the old one. i really hate coding. everything looks fine now except for the comment section. i dont expect to get comments anyway but id at least like to fix it to suit my taste. ill probably drop the link here whenever i finish it and start posting.

i dont have any other updates. im way behind on smuppet manufacturing because i was busy doing other shit. i made a big ass clown doll for my best friends birthday because he is obsessed with clowns. its fucking hideous but he loves it. im not posting it here because its sentimental.

i do have a pink smuppet somewhere thats halfway done. i think its on the floor in my closet currently. its a christmas gift so i wont be keeping it but ill still post pictures when im done. the shape has been looking a lot better than the last guy. i still hate these things and i hate myself for making them.

also ive been in contact with the puppet lady. we went over everything and its going to take $900 to get lil cals head done. i was really picky about the whole thing. hell have a functional mouth and moving eyes. the rest is on me because i dont trust anyone else to put him together in a way thats accurate. i have a kind of dedication to replicating my nightmares that frankly should be studied by psychologists across the globe. maybe ill actually talk about the real reason for all of this at some point but that would ruin the fun of speculation.

also shoutout to my man @ovkl for being my one and only fan on this journey. youre a real one.

heres something i did a while back to make my room a little more homey. its older than the goddamn smuppets but its still something for you to look at. its also my favorite thing on my wall.

hell yeah dawg

how does one brainstorm a cursed technique? i wanna make one for selfinsert purposes but idk how

step one: don't. turn back. free yourself from the shackles.

im kidding sdkjfsdn. kinda,. lowkey i cant give u advice for this bc im literal dogwater at worldbuilding. it is my worst skill as a writer LMAOO but i'll try my best

basically like cursed energy is described as electricity by gojo - so its powerful and uninhibited in it's raw for. techniques themselves are usually innate and manifest in people young, and are thus further expanded upon through a lot of training. this is usually the case with yuuji as the exception

anyhow, a cursed technique can be represented by anything. gege describes it as a softer nen-system. the problem is that it can be anything tho LMAOO

for me personally - i wanted to base this characters technique off their personality so it's based partially on gambling kind of like hikaris but it also uses beautiful imagery from hanafuda. my original inspo was essentially card tricks since the reader im writing has kind of a slippery personality. card tricks -> card games -> hanafuda -> koi-koi

my best advice is pick something you like and see how you can make a technique out of it lol with the power conversion in mind.

so like.. lets say u pick clown symbolism. you can have the innate technique be something like an illusion ability. to expand on that u can create a cursed item that's like those never-ending handkerchief that you can essentially turn into a whip using your cursed energy. you can create a domain expansion and call it circus and trap your opponent in a fun house making causing confusion to the point of injuring themselves. you get me

that is what i did basically. i just narrowed it down, and then figured out what i wanted readers power level to be.

for realism purposes, i would also recommend adding backlash or consequence or limits to this ability if they are really strong lol

[nadineross]

thank you @elliewilliums for tagging me in this oc game!!

im gonna tag @chloefrazer, @latenna, @brujah, @lexcanium, @voerman, @abelas and anyone else who wants to do this!

favorite oc

it’s a toss up between varya or parisa 🥹 they are both so important to me and i love them so much! they also have the most content ive made about them.

newest oc

i think it’s agony; shes a tiefling college of satire bard and she’s literally a clown

oldest oc

orianna? i think? she was from the first campaign i got to play instead of dming. she probably would be one of my fav ocs if thinking about her and the game she was in didnt make me sad lmao

meanest oc

ripley? i think? shes not very outwardly mean, but shes very abrasive which could come across as mean.

WAIT it’s quinn from fallen hero. fail girl cunt swag

softest oc

definitely luci, my tiefling protection domain cleric and champion fighter. shes just a fantasy christian girl oc lmao

dumbest oc

probably vox, only because theyre too obsessed with being sexy. and also probably the brain damage.

smartest oc

fenlynn by a long shot. her intelligence was nearly maxed out from the start. shes also a wizard so 🧠🧠

oc you’d bang

maybe eve? her offputting charm and prophetic visions have captivated me.

or jonas i guess? theyre covered in tattoos and thats very self-indulgent of me.

oc you’d be friends with irl

my gut instinct is aimyr or fen.

aimyr because he’s very principled and accepting. hes also been through a lot, so i imagine hed give good advice; hed also probably let me cry which i think we all need a friend like that.

fen because she’s probably really fun to have convos with because she is so smart. i think shes also pretty agreeable (when shes not in a depressive episode) and can have a lot of fun. i think shes also very logical, so shed help me solve my problems when i overcomplicate things

theyre both ironically earth signs lmao

The Leanover

 if you are sick of this shit by now imagine how i feel. the worst part is my moms boyfriend is a MUCH better person than she is, but she calls the shots and for that hes a pussy im sorry. my real dad, my biological dad beat the fucking dog shit out of my mom when i was 4 i remember many occasions and i hated him for it, as i got older at first i understood, now i respect him for it. for roughly one thousand nine hundred and fifty years it was understood that mothers dont talk to their ADULT sons this way because hes an adult man you are a fucking woman, supposedly my mom is old fashioned and traditional but she missed the memo there. the 15 or so odd boyfriends my mom kept (this is omitting one night stands) only my biological father had the fucking balls to give her the ass kicking that woman so desperately needs, i cant do it im her son and the jewish state would come arrest me for doing gods will without a license, so that leaves her pussy ass boyfriends who watched this shit go down and did nothing. i have literally nothing to fear from a man like that, and i dont lmao. dad i know you are in heaven now and you did your best for us, i love you and ill see you again someday. if i had one week, where i had immunity from police, my mom would be acting right by the end of the week, i realize how kinda creepy that sounds but its just a damn fact, it was true of her shitty dog too that everyone hated and bit everyone on the face, if mom wasnt in charge of the household id have properly disciplined that dog and it would have been normal just like the last dog. im not trying to convince anyone because i know im one hundred percent right about all of this, but i just want it out there somewhere thats not in her fucking funhouse mirror clown domain. the thing is she pretends its the boyfriends that make things the way they are but all 14 or so boyfriends we turned out living the same, its just her and her boyfriends are pitted against me like midbosses in a video game before the main boss, luckily for me she only dates pussies.

[wuucchoo]

yoo omg you get him, you truly get him im gonna cry (つ╥﹏╥)つ. i hate how rational readers are being driven off from the fandom coz of this stupid agendakaisen - but leaving the fandom and just enjoying the manga by yourself is the best thing to do for your mental health lmao and with the amount of people whining and crying about how megumi should just 'lock in'.. like my god do they hear themselves. if megumi just 'locks in' like that sukuna would look like a dumbass clown, going through all that effort for nothing. i have some gripes about how the story is going, but megumi not standing up immediately after yuji appeared in front of him without saying a single word is the one thing that makes the most sense in that manga. if thats all it took to help megumi (yuji just standing in front of him like that) - then that means nothing sukuna did mattered.

and yes, it does seem like it stems from some kinda toxic masculinity bs - i never really thought about it that way until now. coz these people wants megumi to act a certain way which goes against his entire characterization, just because they want him to 'just fight already'. he needs to have another reason to fight, and it could be to save his friends, his classmates, the entire planet earth, but most importantly himself - but he has to have a proper internalization first. just like how yuji needed a reason to keep moving forward after shibuya, megumi needs one as well rn. and that wont happen just like that. also if megumi keeps winning fights i wouldnt like him at all, that would be boring af. imagine him winning against the freshly reincarnated sukuna in the first ep, or against hanami, or against toji?? the fights they were all clowning him for losing were all against enemies that was only ever defeated by gojo himself (except sukuna of course ( • ᴖ • ｡)). so aside from him having insecurity problems, he was up against beasts above his league with no assist (except for hanami, coz maki was there with him and they both lost. and then todo and yuji tagteamed hanami but hanami only ran away because gojo threw a purple in her direction). and im just done with people saying he 'lost' to haruta. like my god, its like we are reading different stories. haruta happened to be there when megumi was already a thread away from death. we can literally read him saying his priority was to go to shoko coz not only was he suffering from physical injuries, his brain needs a reset after he did that domain to save nanami, maki and naobito. like, my boy was already dying before haruta even sucker punched him (╥﹏╥)

sorry for the long rant again but this misunderstanding of megumi's character is getting so out of hand, i dont see rational takes about him often ಥ‿ಥ

((also yes it is fictional and shouldnt be taken so seriously lmao. but it does reflect how a lot of people view mental health in general with how they're expecting certain characters to act during adversities.))

JJK’s god forsaken fandom has done lots of characters dirty. Whether it be downplaying Nobara’s backstory, some calling Maki a “Toji copy,” you get it. However literally no other JJK character has been done as dirty or bad in the fandom than Megumi:

His trauma and his damn FATHER leaving him gets downplayed by the fandom, saying how “he said he didn’t care.”

He gets called bland, yet if his insecurities are explored along with his inferiority complex it either gets ignored or he STILL gets slandered.

When he is appreciated he either gets sexualized or watered down to his long eyelashes.

Good fights that show his INCREDIBLE smartness along with fighting the curse, Reggie, Kirara, etc get ignored or get credibility taken away.

The scene where he literally gets Yuji back up at the campfire is ALSO ignored. (Without Megumi or Todo Itadori would’ve given up. It’s no debate.)

Gets sexism from toxic masculine wannabe “alpha” boys who are butthurt he isn’t your typical “cool powerful badass.”

(MANGA SPOILERS) His body when taken over by Sukuna gets touched inappropriately by Yorozu, which can practically count as SA. However literally NOBODY notices this.

His dynamic with Tsumiki and how much he cares for her is undermined.

Literally almost all scenes that show his mind and depth gets undermined.

Some people say his backstory “wasn’t that bad” just because he had Gojo take him in. ☠️

He gets victim blamed for what happened with Sukuna in the manga.

(MANGA SPOILERS) He gets blamed for being depressed and giving up when his LITERAL REASON for becoming a Jujutsu sorcerer and living is gone, along with his body being used to kill his own mentor and taking billions of hits.

There’s literally so much more but I’ll stop there. The way Megumi aka a literal TEENAGER is treated in this god awful fandom is actually so disgusting, and reeks of major apologism along with victim blaming. It’s sad because Megumi is easily VERY well written and complex. He just had to be in this illiterate fandom. Seriously, f this fandom. 😭

[cerastes]

I know its gonna be the hip thing to clown on malenia bc everyone is complaining about her boss fight as an outlet for it but im JUST saying she DID get cursed by an outer god and all and if you remember one of the early trailers of her fight with radahn, he smashes her prosthetic.

Given that 1. The arm socket is where Millicent inserts Miquellas Needle and 2. The broken needle is found in the heart of Aeonia. Its highly likely radahn smashed the needle in half with that strike, the sudden outer influence and her worn out state causing an inevitable dam burst (rewatching the scene, its a neat detail that she draws her own blood as a means of direct infection, given that the blade itself was immune to the scarlet rots decay).

I dont think it's really fair to call that "throwing a tantrum", and at the same time the worship of radahn reminds me that just bc he was benevolent to his own men doesnt mean that he couldnt be just as power hungry as any other shardbearer (sans morgott), as ranni already demonstrates the mutual exclusivity of affection, nobility, and morality

I'm at a bit of a loss regarding which angle I should be interpreting this from. It's an ask, as opposed to a post or a DM, so I'm assuming you want my take on it all? And at first glance I'd assume it'd be as response to me making funnies about Malenia yesterday, thus I should address it from that angle, but it could just also be your thoughts on the matter? I'll go with my gut and assume you want my take.

Ok, so,

"I know its gonna be the hip thing to clown on malenia bc everyone is complaining about her boss fight as an outlet for it"

As I believe you know by now, I like to clown on characters in general because it's fun, and it's definitely not me huffing on a copium life support tank since I beat her third try on my second run and I've expressed several times that I do love her fight, and the one thing I had a big issue with -- Waterfowl Dance -- I've come to not mind as much.

There's definitely people that are going to dunk on her as an outlet for frustration, though, I agree, but I don't think that's a bad thing, it's Video Games, that's just how it's been all the time. What does concern me about the way you are framing that, however, is that it is akin to saying that there's no other reasons why anyone would be dunking on her except because they are huffing copium, which is outright incorrect, even, I dare say, from a design perspective.

Elden Ring's lore is sports. You pick the faction/leader you think its coolest to you and that's your favorite. You like Malenia a lot. That's great! Other people think Radahn is the coolest. That's great! Like you can find a lot of reasons to dunk on any demigod, there's plenty of stuff that can be said to dunk on Malenia. I think I've also been very explicit in my thoughts on Malenia, but I'll put it in unalloyed words for the record: I think she's got an extremely cool design and her boss fight is immensely cool, but I find her characterization to be very boring, barebones, and lackluster, especially when compared to the two groups of characters one would normally compare her to, the Demigods (practically all of which have more characterization or at least quirks and details to them than Malenia does) and the Cool Fromsoft Late Game Female Bosses (of which Lady Maria and Sister Friede, imo, have a LOT more going to them than Malenia does).

I'll be fair and say that there IS a factor of Malenia's that I think is very cool and that isn't her boss fight or design: The fact that she and Miquella are foils to each other. While Malenia is a tall, nigh-peerless warrior, Miquella was cursed with the body of a child and is famously a renowned inventor, his Unalloyed Gold series of inventions being absolutely crazy good and advanced, ranging from extremely effective prosthetics to needles that can outright halt the advance of an outer god alien super anthrax (Scarlet Rot). While Malenia's domain is the Scarlet Rot, Miquella's domain is the lush evergreen. There's a couple more ways in which they are foils to each other and I think that's pretty cool, but at the same time, it's something that necessitates her to be associated to another character, her brother, in order to even be present as a factor, and unfortunately, it keeps reminding me of something I don't like about Malenia: "My brother my brother my brother my brother my brother I am my brother's blade where is my brother Miquella."

So, in short, yes, there's definitely copium to be found, but also, there's a lot of reasons as to why anyone would dunk on her regardless, and we shouldn't pretend or frame it otherwise. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but that's how it came across.

Its highly likely radahn smashed the needle in half with that strike, the sudden outer influence and her worn out state causing an inevitable dam burst

This is a good theory that I like, because it accounts for details and a solid possibility, but there's also, if mind serves, several instances and accounts that mention Malenia having deliberately gone hog wild with the Scarlet Rot as a desperation move because Radahn was giving her so much trouble. I think Millicent herself said something to that effect at one point, though I don't truly remember her dialogue to the detail. Yes, it could be that one is meant to look for details in the way your theory does... Or It Could Also Just Be Malenia Doing That. Both are perfectly fine guesses. "Throwing a tantrum", in my opinion, is still an apt interpretation, if one that can be contested with what you said, but apt nonetheless.

"I dont think it's really fair to call that "throwing a tantrum", and at the same time the worship of radahn reminds me that just bc he was benevolent to his own men doesnt mean that he couldnt be just as power hungry as any other shardbearer (sans morgott), as ranni already demonstrates the mutual exclusivity of affection, nobility, and morality"

Which leads me to this point. I am going to assume you do not mean me when you say this because the only thing I've said as praise towards Radahn is that he learned turbo gravity magic from a scary tall man in a diaper all so he could keep riding his shitty beloved horse, but it's in the ask and it allows me to go back to something I believe is very important to consider:

Elden Ring Lore Is Sports. Like sports fans, some people will dunk on the others that aren't their favorite. That's completely fine, literally all of these demigods are power hungry. My favorite Elden Ring meme is that one that's like "mfers will complain about Queen Marika and then put a new dictator on the throne" with Ranni on the background, which is like, completely a possibility, even though I'm Rannisquad. Literally none of these people are altruistic. That's fun, narratively. Radahn gets brownie points for being benevolent to his men and due to how he vowed to keep the rot at bay, fighting it for a VERY long time (which gives him, unsurprisingly , good PR in and out of universe), but he's still very much a power hungry participant of the war of succession. Morgott, my favorite alongside Ranni among the demigods, is someone I fully do not agree with ideologically speaking, because he may not be power hungry, but he's still protecting a status quo that very clearly is not in benefit of anyone except his Golden Order peers and believers. Rykard, my favorite after Ranni and Morgott among the Demigods, has the right idea, going against the Erdtree, but the way he's going at it is the most fucked up and even self-destructive way, presumably because he's gone full hedonist, and yet, he's the one that is outright the closest to the mark out all of Demigods, because producing a single, incredibly powerful champion IS the right idea, even though he's methods of producing this champion are beyond barbaric.

This is literally just pick your sports team because you like them more than the others. There's no real cut and dry morality here, because everyone's vile to some degree. Malenia clearly inspired immense loyalty among her warriors as a powerful and charismatic, but her flaw is being incredibly narrow sighted and, if you subscribe to the theory of her having deliberately unleashed the rot, which again, is a valid theory to have, unconcerned with the long term consequences of her actions in the moment. And if I don't like that, I don't like that, Cool Female Character or not.

I think Elden Ring and its factions are far better enjoyed when you look at it through the lens of It's Sports: The fans of the other teams have their reasons, you have your reasons, now let's make Funny Content or lore posts or anything, because every Demigod has good things and bad things that can be said about them, and ideologies you can agree and disagree with. I think the purest form of this is Ranni, in order to help you or anyone understand where I am coming from: Ranni 100% is not a good person, she's done fucked up things, confirmed or implied or otherwise, and she explicitly wants to have power over the Lands Between. She's also someone that can become your personal friend and lover, and very very much adores those she loves, like the Tarnished if they side with her, her brother Blaidd, her uncle Iji, and her often forgotten beloved teacher and mentor, the Ice Witch. She's not a good Demigod, but she's your Demigod. I think that's the way to go about Elden Ring, personally.

In response to my own post and at the request of @selvepnea I present to you:

paypal.com/IFuckingHateJonathanSims

not even in an eye domain. vaguely hear about some watcher boi maybe walking through with his plus one and I

lost it.

where the fuck is jonathan sims if hes still alive im going to so deeply wish he wasnt.

crusty statement man.

ill punch sims and his sad frail academic twig bones will simply flake apart under my

epic huge meat fist

that the big flesh avatar dude gave me

and he will disintegrate until all thats left is one final tape recording he kept on him at all times that says:

“statement of jonathan sims: the archivist. statement begins.

now you fucked up.

statement ends”

im not breathing im hyperventilating at this point.

i wish time had existed during the apocalypse so that i could make the date jonathan sims died a reminder on my phone. everyday once a year i would see it and do anything but pay respects to the man who had so many fucked up if true life experiences and decided to share them with the class.

Safety in numbers #3

The environment was sunny and peaceful as plenty of plants and few trees was all around the landscape.. if Rosie didn't know any better she would've thought she was outside.

But deep down she knew she wasn't.. despite all the cheerful undertones Rosie was still felt uneasy and generally uncomfortable about this whole situation. It's best to just keep on moving untill she can find a good enough place to rest.

But even as she thought that, Dark blue and yellow eyes watched over her as she made her way through the fields.

" So a Little visitor has wandered into my domain.. with not a single Tim or Balan in sight.. interesting."

Lance muttered as he observed the visitor. He knew that she's undoubtedly already met with Balan- it was practically impossible to enter the wonderworld otherwise. But what he didn't understand was how she was acting.

You would think after meeting such a saturated and annoyingly perky Clown like Balan she'd at least be in a SOMEWHAT better mood. But here she was, emotionally Guarded, Nervous and alone.. At least that's what Lance gathered from observing her.

" Guys..! Your awake!"

His train of thought was interrupted when the girl let out a gasp of relief as she fell to her knees with tears in her eyes. He couldn't see exactly what she was crying about so he decided to get a little closer, Being careful to not make his presence known yet.. Less the perfect opportunity to do so was to appear.

Rosie on the other hand for once in her life didn't care what others thought of her as she was sitting in the middle of the road crying.

" *Hic*.. I'm So Happy your all Okay..*Sniffle*"

Rosie breathed as she glanced down to the mindcores orbs in her arms, Now each giving off a steady pulse glow of color unique to each core. There was a green one, A light blue one, An orange one, and a purple one- each softly giving off their glow as she girl whispered their names in between her sobbing.

Now Lance was completely confused to what this little visitor was doing. He's seen humans talk to quite a few things, From Bugs to Cats- and sometimes even plants! But never in all his days has he seen a visitor become so emotional over little glowy balls... She even Named them apparently- not that he actually caught what the names were.

" Peculiar." Rosie's Head shot upwards when she thought she heard a voice nearby. Not wanting to risk anything since she just managed to awaken her cores- she dived into the bushes behind a tree to hide. Too bad this hiding place was already taken. !? She blinked as she was now sitting ontop of a mixed emotioned Lance- who just so happened to be a little embarrassed to be taken off guard so easily by a visitor. He was supposed to take others by surprise, not her. He gently tapped the ground with his fingers impatiently as she made no attempts of moving off him. "Ahem." " A-ahh im so so so sorrry!" Rosie stuttered out as she snapped outta her surprise and quickly got off from ontop of the negati master. Another performer?! she's just running into them one after the other huh? But wait a moment.. this place wasn't an ordinary theatre.. Perhaps the performers weren't ordinary either. She awkwardly stood there watching as Lance stood up and brushed the dust from off of him. He was tall with wavy black hair that held embroidery; and he was also wearing an outfit that looked kinda like the one Balan wore.. but at the same time very different. Come to think of it his whole aesthetic was completely different compared to Balan’s... and he definitely had a more Quiet and mysterious aura to him. " How did you come to be here?" Lance's query took her a little off guard as he looked down at her with his Dark blue and yellow piercing eyes. There wasn't anything that exactly stood out about her- with her Big Glasses and long braided black hair that she usually kept tucked away under her hoodie.. Not to mention she didn't have Balan currently helping her.. She shouldn't have been able to easily cross over into another's mindscape. " oh- i um..im sorry.. The door was open! and there were these... well.. and i just Uh.. kinda.. um.. IM SO SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU I'LL GO RIGHT NOW IM SORRY!!" She stammered through her explanation and then blurted out an apology as she immediately felt guilty for bothering the poor performer; and then practically destroying their personal bubble. She would've been absolutely horrified if someone had done that to her! She should definably be ashamed for doing such a thing... Best to get outta this place and just find another place to hide! She's inconveniencing wayyy to many hard working people today.. Lance knew This visitor was anxious, but he wasn't expecting such a panicked response after being asked a simple question- and then feel the need to apologize.. Repeatedly for something she had no control over.. that didn't Sit well with him.. Nobody should have to apologize to someone like him anyday.. He gave a quiet huff before Carefully reaching out with one of his hair tentacles to the girl as he was going to lift her head from that unflattering bow she was giving.. " You don't-" ** BANG** The Sudden sound of the Gunshot made them both flinch as they Both turned around to see where the direction of the sound came from. From the looks of the purple smoke up behind them it was close by.. Rosie definitely wasn't going to stick around for this as she took the opportunity of Lance distracted to dart away from the scene, Leaving the Negati master to choose whether to follow after her or investigate the strange noise. Lance grunted as he created a few Negati to chase after the girl as he flew off to go see what was causing such a disturbing sound... A Bad Decision on his part.

Spoilers about the We Will Be Reunited - Archon Quest, About translating the Cryo Abyss Mage's floating abyssal characters above their head

Important thing to note: I'm no expert at Latin! They are translated by our good friend Google and it involves Roman/Greek mythology which I'm also not knowledgeable at, so ye 👉👈

So I've done this in a discord server which has Taka gg's Lisa bot installed. It makes translating much easier instead going through tabs and writing them down.

1. First Line

Image deciphered:

Fatae Parcae

Thoughts:

This one is much easy to transcript than the second line yet struggled in separating the words. The Khaenri'ah characters have been halved, so the upper part was only shown.

Fatae - Fate in Latin

Parcae - "In ancient Roman religion and myth, the Parcae (singular, Parca) were the female personifications of destiny who directed the lives (and deaths) of humans and gods." - Wikipedia

2. Second Line

Image deciphered:

Xirtxet Itaf

Thoughts:

This one tho, I've been clowned by this one. Basically, the characters were halved and only shown the upper part as well but not only that, it's reversed/mirrored. 👁👄👁

So it's translated to: Fati Textrix

Fati - Fate in Latin

Textrix - Still translated to textrix but the alternativrs are: female weaver and parcae.

Conclusion:

It's the same as Dainsleif said: "Loom of Fate"

In Greek mythology by greekmythology.com,

"The Fates – or Moirai – are a group of three weaving goddesses who assign individual destinies to mortals at birth."

The Loom comes from their thread, which also mentioned in the description of the Abyss Herald's domain: Thread of Fate.

However, that was not the only place it mentioned. If you head over to your traveler's story in character profile, Loom of Fate appears as the last box.

Tho I get this feeling that the Loom of Fate is not only an operation itself but could be a foreshadowing based on the origin's description? Our traveler's kin is trying to fight against their destiny. What is their destiny exactly?

I wonder if the characters' constellations is their Destiny? (E.g. Xiangling's constellation is some sort of a laddle, which describes her destiny to cook unique dishes.)

im just repeating what dainsleif said why did I even translated it-

Girl That You Love

song request Panic at the Disco drawing and writing (Mags)

@post-itpenny

Im going to write a what if scenario involving Alex. Its something ive been wanting to experiment with cause Alex isn’t in a relationship and I love ship dynamics. One being the sweetest being with something as chaotic and (evil?) as him. Or something whose ah fuck you ill kick your ass unknowing of what he is. and no matter what just Ill fight you you wack ass bitch and him just....loving it. its hard to decide but...heres a scenario of a what if

It was a party like any other in his club. Music booming and loud, lights everywhere, and people dancing and moving to the beat. It was a blast!

Alex was handing out drink after drink, and there was an endless wave of new dance partners. Always someone new, someone different. People were drawn to him after all and his fun loving charismatic ways. Just as the thought passed more people entered the party. He was determined to not only have a good time himself but to have others have a good time. He approached a group and gestured to everyone, “Welcome to the club! First drink is on me!” The group cheered, all but one who rolled their eyes.

This caused one of the chaotic clowns eyebrows to quirk up and a big grin formed on his face, “How about you, you came to have fun right?” He teased them. They glared at him and flipped him the bird. Which only served to irk him a bit but he didnt show it, no.

Alex was too determined, if one person had a bad time at his party it ruined the flow...the flavor....it only takes one bad apple after all.

He held out a hand in a gesture of come in and join the party, but she slapped his hand away from her, “Designated driver....Nice try bud...” And walked off. Leaving Alex to feel.....annoyed. His grin stayed ever present though and he laughed it off. How boring, he could find someone more fun though.

He slipped off into the party once more. His movements matching that of the music. He’d enjoy himself despite the one sour mood of another.

A few hours had passed since than. The party seemed to have more wild than before. The energy Alex was sending out and receiving in turn was absolute bliss. Loving every bit of it. He was on the stage dancing with a group of just as wild and energetic humans.

He jumped down and into the crowd, instantly being caught and carried above it all. Crowd surfing was always fun to him. He patted the people carrying him across the crowd to let him down and they did. And where he landed he wasn’t expecting, or who he landed next to really. The minute he landed her eyes landed on him and he grinned, “Yo, we cross paths again” he said with a chuckle. Her mood seemed to shift instantly and she sneered, “Why are you talking to me...again.” His grin stayed ever present, “Just trying to spread some good times and laughs.” “Yeah right, by getting everyone completely wasted and making them stupid. Doesn’t sound like a good time.” She stated. “Oh yeah, and whats a good time to you then babe?” He laughed. Her head spun back in his direction and she glared. She took a step forward and stuck her finger into his chest, “Don’t call me babe, I know your type.” She started with a growl, “The party guy, acts like your friend but really your just an insecure asshole who bullies others and takes advantage of people in drunken state.” Alex’s grin slowly started to dissipate as he watched this human blatantly insult and berate him. She continued her arms going onto her hips, this tiny tiny human getting all up in his face! This tiny human who he could crush under his actual thumb. Who could hardly pass as even a snack. “And another thing!” He came back to reality a bit and heard her voice once more. “This party isn’t even that great! Its just lights, and some shitty music thats not even good.” Okay now she went too far, insulting his taste in music. Alex made a move to get in her space and show her this was his space, his domain, and he could crush her into the dust she came from. But when he got close, she went on the defensive. Clearly Alex’s movements were threatening as suddenly he felt some sort of force on his face and his sunglasses came off a bit.

He stood there shocked now more than ever. She hit him? The nerve of this human girl! He stared at her the surprise most evident on his face, and something else in him bubbling but not sure what. Her face was that of surprise but then turned to anger that seemed to her justified. “Leave me alone, think twice before coming at me again. Next time I won’t be so nice and I’ll kick your ass.” She turned and walked away and from the looks of it she was straight up leaving the club.

Probably for the best. Alex stood there surprised, annoyed as hell and wondering what the hell he was feeling. It was anger yes but something else...something new?

It felt...warm....and tickled a bit.

He didn’t know whether to hate it.....

or love it.....

love?
