I have made a POKEMON for a project with @napnapcakes :3

Spirell (Spiral, Spell, Shell)

The Spiral Shell Pokemon

Rock/Fairy Type

Ability:

Benthic: Powers up Water-type moves.

Height: 3'07" / 1.1 m

Weight: 225.7 lbs / 497.6 kg

It's a fossil Pokemon based loosely on Nummulites, a foraminiferan. They were roughly coin sized (give or take) and lens-shaped, and fossilized in a metric fuckton of southwest Asia/the Mediterranean's limestone. The inside of these fossils has beautiful, rope-like spiral shapes.

I'm pretty sure the spiral shape didn't show on the outside for Nummulites, but it was what drew me to them, so I took creative liberties with it to make Spirell more interesting-looking. And I also gave it a weird little glassy-eyed spiral-pupiled face.

No but I can't stop thinking about the Vax vs Vex fight at the Ziggurat in late game TLOVM.

I know Vax says something like "I know" when Vex tries to get him to stop fighting her by trying to point out who she is to him,,,

but then he's like "Vex is that you?" the second Sylas' spells over him gets broken?????? Hello???

Now, to me at least, this suggests that Vax wasn't aware of who he was fighting during that battle

If so, who the fuck did Vax think that Vex was???

Vax fought Vex angrily and desperately, but who would he fight against like that?

I doubt Sylas would make him think Vex was him or Delilah since Vax would consider them his allies while charmed by them

Who else could it be then???

His father, Syldor, would definitely be someone I can see Vax going 100% all No Mercy over after everything he did to the twins

Maybe Spireling Gideor??

I can see Vax still harbouring hatred and fear towards Gideor after whatever the fuck happened in that office (Lyre, I'm so sorry, you did not deserve that at all)

I'd also say Thordak, but Vax doesn't know what dragon specifically killed his mother yet, so maybe just a generic dragon? This one feels way less likely than the other two do

And while Gideor is a good candidate, I think Vax's true anger would probably lie with his piece of shit father who ruined his life

And gods is the thought of Vax thinking he's killing his dad only to learn it was actually his sister an absolutely haunting thought

Idk about you, but this is my fanon now, I can't picture anything else

(And I would give this one to a spireling Sephiroth.)

[spookky-aint-spooky]

So I saw this and my mind started spit-baling. The thought of Sir Pentious taking up the role of an overlord has crossed my mind before but I've never really delved into it, until now. So here's my take on an overlord Pentious, and more (I spent a lot more time writing this then I thought I would).

In most concepts I see of others depicting our precious snake as a prominent figure in the pride ring he usually takes Vox's place but with a steampunk edge to it opposed to the futuristic tech. And while that fits his character I went a bit out of left field with my iteration of him, so hear me out.

Throughout the series Pen is treated as a joke, often the but of the joke, but what if this was intentional. A way to taunt his opponent in battle making them more frustrated and clumsy, because how could they lose to someone like him. This often leaves him wiping the floor with the fool naive enough to challenge him in a one on one battle, making them the but of his joke.

I also imagine that he kinda takes the place of Alastor and Carmilla in a sense, in that he's this absolute powerhouse who's not to be messed with but also kind of a goofball with a sinister streak. Always looking for a fight he frequently challenges the angels when they ascend, earning him a mirage of scars from his little adventures that he presents like victory medals. His most proudest being his mechanical arm he had to create after his actual arm got ripped off.

Similar to Carmilla I imagine that someone from the hotel has to convince Pentious to fight alongside them against the angels because he refuses, maby it's something to do with the 7 year time gap where he was dormant. Either he had some “important” matters to attend to… Or his sparring partner Zestial left him on read for YEARS and it put him in such a bad funk he had to have a reinvigoration, a recharge, a… sparring match with hell's favorite fallen overlord poster child, Husker. (idk what im doing with puting Husker in this situation but uhhh… Something something, Vaggie got her wings back while training with Carmilla, what if Husker lost his when he lost his position as an overlord and gained them back when he realized things weren't so bleak. That he's more than the failure Alastor promotes him as… Basically Alastor and Husker switches places with Valentino and Angel, and Val's “humble sex dungeon” is now a high class jazz club with Husker as the main entertainer. Alright, I'm having fun with this).

During the 7 years his absence felt strange and unnerving, like he could appear at any point with his airship. The anticipation only makes it worse though past the 5 year mark sinners have calmed down enough to focus on other existential horrors, like the newly moved up extermination date. And Alastor is having a field day reminding everyone of the inevitable and raking in the views. His radio channel hits its peak the day heaven declares war on the hotel. Announcing the fight as if it was a football match, chastising the cast in subtle ways as he commentates the onslaught. And the FUCKING JAW DROP HE EXPERIENSES AS HE WATCHES THE LONG AWAITED DEATH BLIMP SUBMURGH THROUGH THE SMOKEFILD HELL SKY, BRO DOSE NOT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO HIS ADIENC. It's very much a “AND HERE COMES PENTIOUS WITH THE STEEL CHAIR” moment, he's full on wojak pointing at the scene in front of his studio.

Though unbeknownst to Adam and everyone else, the blimp was a diversion, the real threat was lurking, ready to strike. The battle was vicious, at multiple points Adam had the opportunity to end Pentious and his rain for good but he was just too fast. And while the snake survived he was displeased with the outcome, not because he was close to dying, but because he didn't die, graciously in battle no less. UGHH, his whole YEAR is ruined, again. While he's sulking, all of hell is spireling, what do you mean he's alive.

Moving on, he gains respect for Husker during their little heart to heart sparing, them both gaining the confidence to get back into the game. He can't say the same for Alastor however, the man (in this au) is a certified PUSY, it took one glare from Pentious to reduce him to a deer in headlights. And we can't forget about his little egg boys, or more like egg bots, he made them himself… they are the sons he never got to have (can you tell im tired?). Id imagen that his power had something to do with metal manipulation. Maby he could manifest it out of thin air, or something, however his prowess and raw ability in a fight is all him (he used to be a general), he's just a freak like that.

i literally can't add anything that'd make this better EVERYONE COME BEHOLD THIS ABSOLUTE GENIUS IN MY ASK BOX!!!!!!!

I'm going skating but I decided to whip this up before I left sooo ENJOY!!!

New Jersey-

Play Fights

Every region has their own thing that they do as a fun competition. The West Coast does comedy nights, where they see who can make the most people laugh. The South has what they call Hunt Offs, to see who’s the best hunter. And the Midwest likes to do cook offs, with the South being taste testers.

The North Coast has play fights, multiple rounds through the course of two days, normally held on a weekend. This includes Maine all the way at the top of the North Coast, all the way down to Florida, which allows for a larger roster.

It started as just a thing the New Netherland area did, over time it expanded to include the whole of the North East, then Delaware wanted Maryland to join and soon it spireled to the whole North Coast.

Of course it started out friendly enough, everyone tended to go a bit softer on Georgia since he isn’t nearly as rough as everyone else. Then North and South Carolina would make a bet when they fought, which had Pennsylvania open up a proper betting pool. The play fighting weekend always ended up with everyone sore to all hell and back, saying to themselves to never do this again and specifically never go up against New Jersey again.

Jersey was strong, while it didn’t visibly look like he could pretty easily lift 400 like it was 20, he could. However he often forgot just how strong he was compared to everyone else, it wasn’t like the rest of the states were weak but when compared to them, Jersey was like a powerhouse.

He isn’t too sure as to why he’s so strong, especially since he normally comes off as looking like a twig, however he did believe it was most likely something demon related. He knows his own demon, not father, father is no slouch in the strength department, and Jersey also knows that he could easily get his strength up more. 

It’s not like he wants to hurt the others, he really doesn’t, sure it’s a bit funny to have Northie pinned down after five seconds of fighting and sure it’s amazing to be better than Yorkie, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s hurting friends, people who are basically his family.

Despite him being significantly stronger than the others, he never has actually won before. He always gets in his head when up against Yorkie, always ends up hurting him the worst, always dropping out after and just watches over the betting pools. 

It’s basically tradition at this point for Jersey to tend to everyone’s wounds after this, whether it’s early in the games or he and Yorkie were in the semi finals, it doesn’t matter. 

Jersey has a big heart, a big heart that can’t bear to see him hurt his family, so he’ll try to make up for it. Cooking for everyone involved, taking care of their wounds if Rhody brought a knife again (seriously he has got to stop doing that), just generally being a nicer person for a good week before he starts to go back to normal.

The next time the play fighting happens, the same thing will happen again, a vicious cycle that Jersey can’t snap himself out of.

After 8 years we finally have an answer, even if it's just a hint right now, that the Clasp were working with Brimscythe.

As previously told in The Story of Vox Machina, the whole reason the party went to Emon in the first place was to investigate why the Clasp had delivered Skysunder's egg to Westruun. But the answer got lost in the weeds of all the demons and Brimscythe, and we the audience never actually found out why.

Finally, in Vox Machina Origins IV #1, Spireling Modeth confirms that they did the job for a member of the Tal'Dorei Council, who could be none other than General Krieg.

[swiftstyles1989]

Listen, these lyrics from Harry's unreleased song "here we go again, cursing all the air, maybe we can't talk anymore but at least we can be kinda friends. Cursing all the air, went over my head. Jesus, we can talk through the door, I don't wanna come in anyway. But i know I'll be back again" ARE THE PROOF HE MUST HAVE HEARD SOMEHOW THE 1989 VAULT TRACKS like in 2015-16 idk...or they are so alike and think alike that they just write about the same stuff. My head is spireling. I wish they were closer than on only friendly terms, because i need that collab.

I didn't know another one of Harry's unreleased songs has leaked, what??? But she played him 1989 before it was released so it's very possible that he heard some of the vault tracks as well. Or what you said, which is also possible cause they're basically the male and female version of each other...ugh, the haylor lore never ends...

[lesbianneopolitan]

So Ruby and Emily will fall together?

I am sorry if I am asking too much I just have so many ideas and my brain is spireling-

I feel you're more of an expert with Emily than I am, so, would she FALL? After seeing Ruby does too??

I feel Emily will actually fall sooner or later after what we saw in the show, so it doesn't feel too far-fetched if she does xD

[buzzkillchainsaw]

You know, I read The Post a while ago, but I still have it in my mind, and it kinda gave me motivation to go do my own wof arc. I just have some ideas spireling.

Oh that's great! You have a lot of work ahead and I hope you have lots of fun with it :)
