——Tangled Strings——

Demo: TBA

Current TWs: Violence, Falling from heights, graphic content (gore, sex, etc.) 17+

You fell from the heavens and hit the ground hard.

Your home, a series of islands in the sky far above the snowy clouds that cover the human kingdom of Yalkasana, was paradise to you. The sun shone, the wind always blew, oh, and you still had your wings. Big fluffy things that were once taller than you, emerging from between your shoulder blades.

Paradise it might have been, utopia it was not. Cut- throat (or in your case cut-wing) politics are just part of life. Everyone must play the game, and you were a poor player. Or maybe you were just unlucky.

Some artifacts should stay dusty, and weapons with enough power to level the planet’s surface are definitely one of such things. When the artifact was revealed, a key to the island’s mythologized past of victory and conquest, of course someone would want to use it. To relive the glory days of your people and bring the surface world below to its knees once more like in the ancient scripture.

The thing is, the artifact? A piece of junk more likely to explode and crash the islands out of the sky than to actually aim at the ground and destroy some kingdom or city there.

You spoke out. It was only right. You had to protect your people, your friends, your home. But you failed, miserably. Labeled a traitor to your history and islands, they ripped out your wings, cauterized, and sewed the wounds shut before they threw you from the islands with one objective. If you survive the fall and you still want to stop the restoration of the artifact? Destroy the kingdoms below before it’s done.

Welcome to the human Kingdom of Yalkasana. Your home awaits.

———————————

Tangled Strings is an Interactive Fiction game made in Twine. You follow a cast of unlikely friends, who all want the same thing as you. To save their home.

Meet the ROs. Your friends. Your victims.

The Princess (She/Her):

- Maira Yalkansanas is the darling of the court, her place secured by being the second of the dead King and Queen’s children. With a noble heart and gentle air, people part like the sea before her path. Her grey eyes mirror the clouds above her beloved kingdom, with a sharpness that glints like a knife in the dark. She has everything she never wanted, and three people who allow her to call Yalkasana her home, her twin brother, her falcon, and her life long friend.

The Prince (He/Him):

- Hylens Yalkansanas is the people’s sword and shield, his place secured by being the first born of the dead King and Queen’s children. He is valiant and brave, an aspiration for every guard and soldier in the kingdom. His grey eyes mirror the cold metal of his father’s sword, with a softness of the clouds above them all. He cradles his duty with the awkwardness of someone being handed a babe as the parent walks away without a word. But still, he holds it steady, there is no one else to hand it off to anymore.

The Diplomat (They/Them):

- Morn Lyfes is the first, and youngest, Elven diplomat to walk in Yalkasana in over a century. What an honor. What a burden. A clear-sighted and fire-eyed beauty with a light footstep. They were born in bloodshed, raised in ruin, and came of age in the restoration of their kingdom. They are the closest anyone in Yalkasana will ever get to seeing a star.

The Healer (He/She/They):

- Rhayen Thurm is a steady and well reputable healer in the castle. One of a dozen, almost completely interchangeable with the rest, aside from their close relationship to the princess. With hair as white as their gloves and eyes red like rubies, they stand out with their mediocre skills and status. Their smile is soft, despite having a twist like they know what kind of stuff your spirit is made of before you even speak.

The Baker (He/She/They):

- Gullen Wasy is a cook in the castle. Their mother was incredibly skilled, but died with the plague before she had the chance to teach them her secrets. Now they feed the servants of the castle, and occasionally get to help with feasts or parties when any extra pair of hands with even half a wit will do. They are stubbornly kind and well-meaning despite how much trouble it always gets them in.

———————————

[[Build the story with a multitude of choices ranging from who to murder to who to date. There will be choices in sex, gender, sexuality, background, morals, skills, and personality.

I am working on: Chapter One as of 10/19/24 and plan to have it published before 01/01/25 as the demo.

There are twenty chapters planned, but they'll be separated into three arcs to make the game load easier on Twine as I write them.

I might have a second book/sections of arcs, but I'll cross the bridge when I get to it.

Any questions or suggestions are welcome, most of my posts until I drop the demo will be art of the ROs/Friends and world building history/tidbits that I think is cool but cannot find a way to fit into the story organically. Full disclosure, I am a senior in college right now and work a part time job while also doing research, so while I have full plans to finish this book/game, it will be slow going on progress until I graduate. Most deadlines will be tentative, but I fully intend to meet them.]]

nico robin and her smile

hiiii ok has anyone else ever thought about the person robin was before joining the straw hats? like who she was when she was at her worst? because i do. a lot. so go along with me here

from her introduction, robin has this very small smile that feels cunning and is seemingly meant to taunt luffy and co. it creates a sense that there's a canyon's depth of difference in power between her and the others.

robin's is a subtle character in her expressions compared to most other major characters in the series. and i think it fits her background of having to work in subterfuge. (???)

she maintains this expression throughout multiple scenes. the same shape of her smile that is so exact that it has to be with intention. this is the face of ms. all sunday. this is the person robin had to be in order to survive.

and yet each one still has it's differences and that's robin being not so perfect at hiding her true feelings (which btw i love that robin will always be exactly who she is). she's stressed or even strained at times. while also feeling perfectly at ease, but still performing a role.

i think for the most part. robin didn't mind what she had to do or who she had to be. because she's pragmatic, but she was definitely bothered by vivi and the strawhats. they're the ones who cause robin to show anything other than that static smile. notably when she is faced with vivi and luffy's determination.

and i've rambled about it once before robin is a kind woman at heart and who has a soft spot for the crew + vivi. their earnestness breaks through her own desire/need to not care for the effect her actions have on the lives of others.

notably the only times robin does seem to genuinely smile is in small sudden outbursts around luffy when something he does makes her laugh.

and throughout the rest of the alabasta arc. robin's clearly uncomfortable with facing the real destruction of alabasta at crocodile and her hands. later revealing that she never planned on helping him obtain the poseidon weapon. she never once smiles, instead dropping everything to focus on getting to the poneglyph.

after that though? she does her miss all sunday smile one last time when she asks luffy to join his crew. it's a famous panel, we all know it, we all love it.

the longer robin was with the straw hats. the more she began to genuinely smile. it's well established that being on the crew brought back joy and laughter into robin's life, that being with them gave her a reason to live again. but it was a slow start until we got to see this robin more often and more freely who is cheered by everyone's bright youth and excitement in being alive in a ways that she never had been allowed.

[logically-asexual]

deleted my post earlier but i’m posting it again im just upset.

everyone defended the gaps between videos with the argument that they were getting sooo good in quality and yes they did for a while but in like.. 2019-2020. but now we’re in 2023 and the editing looks like this

and sorry but the makeup sucks and the comedy is repetitive and the writing so far doesn’t look great (but that depends on how they manage to solve all the problems they’ve gotten the characters into) and also sorry but thomas’s acting is also gotten so.. weird, so forced and immature.

literally every aspect of the episodes has gotten worse in the past couple years. everything is so extra and for what. and i know videos in the past two years are all inconsequential short things to pass the time before the finale but i don’t think that’s a valid excuse for them to be like this. if these videos have those problems then so will the big ones. and that sucks.

if they’re taking longer and have more people working and they have a bigger budget it’s only logical to expect the videos to be better. but they’re just. not.

[analogicalreasoning]

Hey, AnalogicalReasoning, Michael here.

My blog is mostly centered around Sanders Sides ships and pairings, but also the general content of the series, the character lore, etc. As my name suggests, I thoroughly enjoy Analogical (Virgil × Logan) as a ship, but I also make content for other pairings as well! (Mainly Janus/Logan/Virgil oriented, but not strictly those three together–)

I have an AO3! I really enjoy writing domestic fluff, pre-relationship content, and romantic tension. However, on a rare occasion, I write angst and NSFW stories, so explore at your own risk~ I hope you enjoy what you find there!

Here's the link to my AO3:

Feel free to leave suggestions either in my ask box or at my AO3! Hope to see you soon~

Remember that time I mentioned that I needed to draw something other than Sgt Splosion?? (plus Guardener, my sona, and my ocs)

I had a song stuck in my head but I couldn’t figure out why since I didn’t actually know the song

It’s the song from the anime intro. Anyway, here’s some screenshots

[agirlwiththoughtsandnegativity]

listening to the intro of style on full volume is just not enough. I need it injected into my veins. I need to embody the feeling of it.

[sketches-and-scriptures]

Hi there! Welcome to my blog 🤍🪶

My names Madi and this is my first time sharing any of my writing anywhere, so if I said I wasn’t kinda nervous I’d be lying 😅

My goals with this blog is to just share my writing as ideas come to me, whether those ideas be poetry, short stories and possibly even an ongoing WIP if anyone happens to be interested

I could also, at some point, maybe post some of my artwork on here, but only if I think it looks okay 🥲

Anyway, thank you so much for being here.

Grab a blanket, a hot drink, cosy up, and read 🤍

[ts-crit]

Tbh after his last in character post as Virgil this is the perfect opportunity to see if Thomas has absolutely butchered Virgil’s character or not

[biomic]

i've felt it a bit previously, but this episode especially you could tell the scriptwriter had to compress things down to fit in both the mech fight and highway sequences. the yarucar races are cute but im looking forward to them being reduced soon since that'll let episodes breathe more

[radar-chaos]

I've had to redraw Thomas TWICE for this Anime intro, but I'm finally getting there, lol.

And for those of you wondering, I'm actually doing Three! (3) stills for this! Sooooo it may be a little while longer, I do apologize.
