Good morning! Here, have some Snufkin Blows Up The Ancestor For No Good Reason to start your day!

Found this gem in a compilation video of clips from Jul I Mumindalen (SVT’s Advent Calendar series 1973). Check it out because it’s absolutely chaotic (it’s in Swedish but i hope it’s funny to others as well).

Why is Lewis your favorite character?

You ask me why? YOU ASK ME WHY?! (my inner Lewis screams)

Although to be honest with you: I feel a great attraction towards this beautiful flower from the past, a queen of my heart… I AM YOURS, MUSHI!!!

I'm reading The Ancestor by Danielle Trussoni. It was recommended in "101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered" with the insistence that the reader would not be able to guess where the story is going. And that is correct. From reading the synopsis I could never in 1000 years guess where this was going.

Fun Fact about Darkest Dungeon that I missed during my first playthrough!!!

Did you know that the famous Ancestor line, “Ruin has come to our family,” has a double meaning that is only apparent once you’ve beaten the game?

(Spoilers under the cut if you care about the Ending of the first DD)

At the end of the game it’s revealed that The Ancestor has fused with the ultimate evil under The Manor: The Heart of the World. And during the boss fight against him, the Ancestor has a few lines explaining the significance of The Heart

The Heart is (or at least is part of) an Eldritch Entity which created Mankind and the World they live in. In his relentless quest to uncover The Heart, The Ancestor (in addition to screwing over every single person within a five mile radius) inadvertently awoke it and hastened the ultimate demise of humankind.

In the Ancestor’s finale speech after you have defeated The Heart, he speaks both as the ancestor of the unseen player character AND as The Ancestor: The True Patriarch of Mankind and the oft unseen leader of humanity’s “noble house”

And he tells us that ruin has come to our family

Ancestor is the most character ever

oh, he definitely is!

he's the most deserving of my knee meeting his face! :}

fantasies of violent solutions to interpersonal struggles aside, i can't help but agree with that. sure, he's a Jerk with a capital J, and you cannot help but facepalm listening to every deed this guy has ever done, but once the deeds start piling up, you cannot help but... feel morbidly impressed.

from what we know, in one short life (he has barely greying temples) the gentleman in question:

[warning, spoilers for DD1 (and some DD2) incoming]

had an estate worthy of someone with the title of Countess to come to him to pay his party a visit (not to mention having his own Abbey) - it is unclear though if it's his accomplishment, too, or merely a silver ladle in his mouth he was born with;

had an operational sea-faring port in his town;

had enough land that you need 99 weeks at minimum to scout it all (just... sit for a moment and really think about it);

had enough money to potentially lose and effortlessly replace a mill on a whim (and lemme tell you, those things weren't cheap to make and maintain!);

had enough money and wit to hire and manage a personal army (again, not as cheap as one can imagine, especially if we consider that they had huge siege engines - and Abbey has a notoriously huge gap in it... makes one wonder...)

managed to make a literal saint come to him and prophet his undoing (am i the only one who sees some of the saint Elmo in the Prophet?);

managed to survive and win against an eldritch bloodsucker;

managed to make wine out of said bloodsucker's blood (somehow; this is not how blood works. this isn't how winemaking works..!);

summoned an actual demon or some other occult thing and gave it stable material form (Swine God);

twice (if Shambler dearest is his doing as well - which is plausible, considering it holds his trinkets);

trice - without even trying (if we add the Flesh, which gave potential birth to the Foetor from DD2 but that's a whole other theory i don't have strength for right now);

managed to create a whole-ass faction - of undead (by creating the Necromant - confirmed by DD2 (even if i hate mixing the two, Protege's story is all but yelling about it) and potentially providing them with first bodies);

twice (if we consider swinefolk and how they became a separate nation by the time of DD2 (again, hate mixing the two, but... ugh));

or even trice (if we give bloodsuckers the benefit of the doubt and segregate them into a separate race - which I think we should, they are clearly sentient; arguably more so than swinefolk);

managed to strike a deal with a separate eldritch entity (Dagon?) and its followers to his own benefit and lived to actually use the wealth;

had enough money to order, plant and care for a huge variety of exotic and expensive herbs and knowledge not to die a grizzly death immediately;

could successfully create curses (Waif, Sunken crew, Crimson Curse, potentially Hag?);

what I'm saying is... this list alone could've fueled something like the Uncharted series trice over. imagine, for a moment, if we were allowed to play as the Ancestor instead of shovelling through the DD2 Mountain's worth of shit he left us to deal with and clean up after him. the sheer, unabated glee of having the money, reputation and manpower to flaunter on your each and every whim, regardless of how inherently stupid or outlandish it is. with an appropriate pinch of dark humour, that could've been an amazing game, methinks.

Unsure if your crackships are still open, but if they are, I offer...

My Mew "Mys" (big floofer in the center!) with hrm... How about #7? X3

This was so much fun to draw! I think I went overboard with the fluff

You can keep Permafrost if you want!
