Worldbuilding Wednesday: High Noon

I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT DAGGERLESS AND MAL FOR WBW OKAY? OKAY.

I'm gonna mention The Child too, so tw for dragon death, emperor-type stuff, etc.

Daggerless {She/her} and Mal {He/Him}

A pair who have been in direct conflict since Mal's arrival in Earth Flight nearly 20 years ago, Nikaeli Daggerless and Mal Flintlock are two sides of the same tarnished coin. Both neglected or completely orphaned since childhood with a talent for fighting, rustling and treasure hunting, the two of them have a storied and particularly tense history with one another- Because despite their similarities that one might imagine would endear them to each other, their motives remain a sticking point that has led to The Diamond Riot and The Tarnished Dames operating against their rival crew on every dig, deal, or delve either's been hired to carry out.

The Tarnished Dames: Automa {She/It}, Revolver {They/It}, Aetumnal {She/Her}, Peeko {He/Him}

Daggerless is a preservationist- raised by a Snapper woman who studied the local history, legends, and mapped the tombs and temples she was made privy to in her cherished home of Earth, she instilled her young charge with the same reverence for the past, an affection for those who came before her, those who built the groundwork that modern clans operate on- tradition and culture left where it belongs, let to rest safe and sound in final resting places- only moved when those places of rest might fall victim to the march of time- or those who seek to pillage them- those like Mal Flintlock.

Raised by a wildclaw with a vested love of the Plague ideals that made her, Mal was trained to take, lie, cheat, and rustle his way to survival, riches, and success- and he proved incredibly capable of all of these tasks. Smaller in stature than many of his fellows, and given his strangely feathery hide for a Pearlcatcher, it's assumed he wasn't born with the pearl he now holds tight in cybernetic claws, but whatever species he resembled previously, he's remained rather tight-lipped over. The only people Mal seems to respect are his own crew, The Diamond Riot- or people willing to pay him for his work. A charmer with a gift of gab and a vested love for adventure, he delves into depths below for renown and treasure time and again, in a constant race against Daggerless and her crew to obtain the long-abandoned prize in dusty, dimly lit tombs- the way he sees it, it's of no use, buried deep below- surely, the person making his pockets fatter with coin has a better use for the dingy artifacts he and his crew procure than the long-dead dragon who was previously its owner.

The Diamond Riot: Tearmarsh {She/Him}, Shuck {She/Her}, Rezonant {They/She} Arizona {He/Him}

Both intelligent and capable in the face of danger, with a crew that's more like a family backing their movements, the clash of these two tomb-raiding titans leaves ripples across the towns, cities, and clans they pass through seeking rumors and leads, and it's upon their closely-timed arrival in a nondescript little ghost town in Dragonhome that their greatest adventure begins.

Some "treasures" are not to be coveted at all.

Jersey {He/Him}, Fool/"The Child" {All Pronouns, she/her preference}, Georgia {She/Her}

Some treasures, buried so deep below, are treasured only by those too sentimental to smite them- some treasures are like The Child. A massive, sprawling emperor made only of the progeny of a lesser God and a once-cherished Queen, The Child is rotten, exposed bone and flesh still bound in golden chains and thick stone, restraints that held and were maintained by the clan of Dusthide caretakers who monitored her resting place for centuries- at least, until drills broke ground on her hidden tomb. She stirs, now, huge in her labyrinthian cradle, sobbing for her parents to embrace her, a mother long-dead and a father no longer listening. In her sorrow, in their confusion- The Child lashes out, and the underground city of The Cradle now serves as a hunting ground-

And Daggerless and Mal as the leaders of two groups of now very easy to hunt fodder.

"... Fine. If you want to see a monster so bad..."

"... I'll show you what a real monster looks like."

this was mostly me wanting to share the design for my Deltarune Monsterswap AU's monster Kris as they appear in the Dark World, but it also doubles as a little something else: a glimpse into one possible Weird Route. the Kris of this AU isn't bound to Player choice... and thus far less defenseless against their whims.

the question is: what does it take to make a good dog bite?

QUICK TELL ME UR HCS OF UR IKEMEN PETS

aaaaa okay, let me think!! I'll just give what come to me off the top of my head with these lads :3

Charles (ikevamp)

Charles is actually quite good at styling, makeup, and hair cutting/styling

this is partially based on a little headcanon list that Auburn made a while ago, but he has a little bit of pudge on him, specifically around his hips!

Faust (ikevamp)

Faust has shockingly warm hands, and also a lot rougher skin than you'd expect. he has a lot of calluses on his palms and fingers

he will literally sleep the entire day if you let him. but since he's (canonically) horrifically difficult to wake up... this has happened more than once.

Will (ikevamp)

he does actually learn how to cook! he still prefers to go out to eat most of the time, but once in a while, he does actually enjoy a home-cooked meal

Sariel (ikepri)

there have been times he's fallen asleep in his glasses. and other times, that he's almost forgotten to put his glasses on before getting up to work (though he hasn't completely forgotten yet)

he is one of the fastest readers in the palace, along with Chevalier and Clavis

kind Keith (ikepri)

he used to pick at his cuticles when he was younger

dark Keith (ikepri)

he prefers lighter colours over darker colours

if he was able to, he would love to dress in a more relaxed style (unfortunately, that would not only confuse the people around them, but it may lead to even more criticism from those who already dislike him/them)

Wicked truly was very good, but everyone saying its the best movie musical simply hasn't seen enough movie musicals

think I found the right petpet for my fanpet on VP. I'm trying to pick music references for their treasure and book list

the description for the yellow birdhouse item is also what inspired this in the first place :)

" fa-ther.... we ache... "

Finally found a suitable accent for "Fool" who will be serving as my in-lair representation of the Emperor formed of Mithos' children, who I'm planning on using as general Exalt fodder to see how many heads I can superglue to an already suffering beast.

We're up to two with two more in a week, But that cooldown is ROUGH when all I'm trying to do is make an in-lore "thing with thousands of heads"

This is the thing the Wicked Dig is unearthing, btw- it's an emperor. a big, nasty, fuckoff old emperor.

I don't know you but John Wick really gives me the Yandere Vibes, maybe because he loses all the people he loves qnd he is scared to be alone, I really think he is the kind of guy to kidnap you because he doesn't want to be alone anymore.

Oh nonnie dearest, I wrote a little thing that was stirring in my head when the last movie came out and I 1000% agree that he's lonely ( and perhaps needs someone in his life. John? Don't you agree, John. )

I think he'd use different terminology rather than calling it kidnapping. Cause "there's always a choice". Sure, John. Call it what you like but when you strongly encourage someone not to leave and know more ways to kill, more ways to injure and maim than there are stars in the sky... Sir. Call it what it is.

But, you don't contradict the Baba Yaga. You just don't. And you like Dog.

Anyway, safest place to be is in the devil's shadow.

What are your opinions on shattered glass Megastar? I know you're into AUs and I find the concept of them meeting differently very interesting.

okay this may be an upopular opinion.

This is so funny because I've actually been talking about this on my twitter but eh....I do not like shattered glass megastar because i don't really like nor care that much about shattered glass starscream. i love aus, but to me, shattered glass megastar doesn't feel like megastar. in extension, shattered glass starscream is not starscream to meee. the qualities i love in starscream and the reason i am drawn to and like him as a character do not exist in shattered glass starscream. and in my MY MY personal opinion, a lot of fans tend to project shattered glass starscream's personality and stuff onto canon starscream and that's when we get like the soft boy starscream that i kinda don't really like or vibe with.

maybe if i read shattered glass in depth then i'd think differently but now, no not really. like i see it as a ship but just not megastar if that makes sense.

I keep thinking about the illusive Ms. Villareal, right? And I'm like, it's easy to say Jacques did it. But I don't think I want to go that route. Instead I'm thinking of different ways to go about it and my mind keeps going, "Max unintentionally led to his mom's death and Jacques had to cover it up."

There's a scene in a film The Florida Project where the unsupervised children go into an abandoned house and light a pillow on fire, the fire spreads. I'm thinking when Max was five or six he did something like this and not even out of any malice, he was just ignorantly playing in all the wrong ways.

So the estate goes up in flames and Mrs. Villareal perishes. Of course this isn't a good look for Jacques, who was already rumored to be connected to the criminal underworld and Jacques doesn't want his little son to be stigmatized or in the media for his action, so he took the fall, took all the rumors.

I don't even think Jacques let Max get therapy out of his own paranoia, he simply thought moving on would be better and never talking about it. This results in Max's destructive, violent behavior. [Even if Max has been a bit of a weakling in my game...but this lil boy is toxic, regardless]

How I envision Elphaba. I gave her curly hair and freckles because why not?

Also.

Fic Elphaba: Wah, I'm so limited in my color palette everything clashes with green!

Me: Honey, you lyin'. Just say you're goth and go because

Not a whole lotta clashing here.
