Champion of the Dead is Off to Beta Readers and More

Champion of the Dead is off to beta readers! Huzzah! This is my third round trying to come up with a satisfying sequel. It wasn’t that it was harder than the first, or that the other attempts weren’t good, it was that, well, there was a lot to sort out after the end of Savior of the Damned. Where did the book pick up after that? What parts of the story linger on after the end of the first?  What…

hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...

The Devil on Your Shoulder

Happy BG3 day! If your Tav had a backstory like an Origin character's, what would it be? Mine would start the game with an existing deal with Raphael. More under the cut.

Fortune is a Glasya tiefling, and a promising painter from Lyrabar, Impiltur, who went rogue because of a guild buying her family’s painting shop out. Using her connections, she started to steal from the nobility, specializing in stealing priceless works of art.

Her downfall came when she fell for an elf who turned out to be one of Asmodeus’ bastards, his cambion son. Young and naïve, Fortune gets tricked into signing a contract with an imp pretending to be Asmodeus to free her object of infatuation from servitude. Asmodeus discovers the deception and punishes the imp with death, and he amends Fortune’s contract. In exchange for her and the cambion’s freedom, she must kill 5 good aligned adventurers in Asmodeus’ name. However, the cambion turns on her. Disheartened, Fortune lets herself be killed.

For failing her task, Fortune is sworn to be her contract holder’s indentured servant. A loophole in her contract brought about by the imp’s death makes it unclear who she belongs to due to the blanks in the chain of command.

Raphael catches wind of her predicament and orchestrates a convoluted legal maneuver to claim her for his own benefit. Slowly, he starts to fill the role of the cambion whom Fortune was infatuated with by becoming her sugar daddy, er, art patron. Raphael allows her to operate independently as both artist and rogue again in exchange for various services and favors from her, such as paintings of him, information about her noble patrons, and being his consort.

For her excellent service, Raphael grants her his infernal powers and makes her a warlock. He gifts her a paintbrush that also serves as her spellcasting focus, and forms a semi-permanent Gaze of Two Minds link between them so that he can watch the world through her senses at any given time.

Things get tricky when she gets kidnapped by a mindflayer ship in the middle of a heist. Though their connection remains faintly, the tadpole allows Fortune a taste of freedom, and hinders Raphael from surveilling her, muddling their psychic link.

Now she must decide if she should embrace the tadpole to free herself from Raphael, or stay true to her patron. One thing’s for certain, her feelings about him are ambivalent, and I’ll write fanfics about this.

dust with a fucked up savior complex save me dust with a fucked up savior complex SAVE ME!!!! he's literally sooo savior complex coded. he killed his underground to "save" everyone and stop the human from killing them. he thinks that it's better that he does the murdering instead of the human because he has better intentions. he's sad at the beginning (rightfully so) but savior complex dust really gets so much cooler when you add in the fact that dust eventually started to LIKE killing his underground 😭😭 like just..... imagine a manic dust who's gone mad going around claiming he's helping everyone with what he's doing when he's really,,,, not. soo cool.,,, (like dude how are you SAVING people if they don't exist after you've killed the person who was killing them. there is nobody to be safe but yourself anymore) (can you tell this was inspired by the one comic of dust killing his papyrus and saying "it was better if i did it" or something)

but also also on the other hand,,,,, revenge fueled dust??? he's gotten SO bitter from the repeated resets and genos that he's genuinely bitter enough to risk it all to stop the human. he doesn't have pure intentions in this one. dust doesn't claim he's saving anybody with what he's doing murdering them all. he KNOWS it's bad and wrong and hypocritical but he does it anyways because he wants to not only stop the human but to make them suffer. he purposely wants them to keep coming back after killing them just so he can kill them over and over and over and have them experience a fragment of the suffering he did with having all of his friends and family killed. but i think a revenge fueled dust (in contrast to savior complex dust) would be a lot cooler if he still felt shitty for killing everyone. it's painful to do but hate is stronger than love and dust's hate for the human is MUCH stronger than his love for the underground atp

The acolyte dared to focus on the importance of mothers instead of fathers and that's a huge reason why people hated it.

Jason HC

Every time he kills, there's a physical pain in his chest he has to fight against. He absolutely loathes taking someone's life, but, to him, it's a necessary evil. He wakes up feeling the blood of the damned on his hands, and he knows he'll never be clean of that sin.

Despite being Catholic, he never begs God for forgiveness. He knows he's damning his own soul with each kill he commits. After he crawled himself from his grave, he got the message that God didn't want him. He doesn't know if Jason came back, a revenant, or a mangled version of his soul crammed together with the Lazarus Pit. This fact, on the nights that red and green are the only colors he sees, haunts him like he feels he haunts himself.

Part of Jason, a part he ruthlessly smothers silent, screams and begs Bruce to take the task of killing from him. He doesn't want to feel more crimson slip between his crooked fingers. Another part of him hates Bruce for condemning Jason to this existence by refusing to take up the role himself.

He knows Bruce will never forsake his morals in this way. He knows Bruce will never save Jason from his self-assigned responsibility. He hates his dad for it, but he understands why he won't.

Someone has to clean up Gotham even if that means forever dirtying themselves in the process.

I am so pissed at some of y’all for how you’ve treated Luke newton. I was and am so ready to have a new internet boyfriend obsession that carries me through the next 3-5 years of my bleak ass reality and had that mother fucker locked and loaded.

AND NOW

Instead of cuteness overload there’s just crapola, big stinkin hunks of crapadoodledoo in his tags.

This is the fan girl hellsite! Let us thirst!

Grounded. All yall are grounded for taking this fresh meat from us fandom aunties. Back to the kids table until you learn to play nice.

Something i think is really interesting about GenLoss is that we got missing/found posters for Sneeg and Charlie

However in the game the binary for Charlie the Villain whereas with Sneeg is the Friend(? Or smth similar, a /pos connotation)

So i think theres some sort of brainwashing and mindfuckery going on, and Charlie is now under Showfall Medias thumb, and Sneeg is still resisting it or they havent fully gotten him yet.

And then theres Jerma, who in his trailer release bit sounds a bit ominous and is offputting by saying something vaguely threatening, but unlike Sneeg, Charlie, and Ranboo has not had a missing poster. Thus i don’t think he’s really under Showfall Media, along with the fact that in the game the character we can assume is Jerma (since its also assumed that you play as Ran) the binary translates to the Savior.

Theres also the possibility that this is a red herring and that Showfall Media is trying to trick us into believing that Charlie is the villain (hence the binary) and Jerma the Savior when in reality it’s the other way around.
