Last artfight drawing but with the time I passed on it and the amount of persons I have to tag, it felt like it needed its own post :') Description under the cut, thanks for letting me play with your characters!

In the middle of the drawing we have first Camillia, about to play a clever hand from phoogho Dunya the cat from miss_anya desserved some pats and Millicent from @aubadeatelier  seemed more than happy to provide! Tiare from Aphelion and Ciar from yonahverse seems quite excited about this terrible fight. Mila from MunyuNana  is quietly looking at the party, seconds away from turning around to talk again with Auzma from Zumetro who is already engaged in a cheerful talk with a fellow exorcist. Suki Lie from @sukikmu is having fun tasting the cakes while Helena is distracted by the game. Aliki from @pymthefrog  is maybe the youngest, but she got trained by the best and is going to win it all for sure, Ilya from @lavie-tyme looking at her technique with respect. Next to him, Shelley from PurplePandog have a lot to say about the game. Friends not participating in this artfight were kind enough to let me play with their characters and adding it to the mess! At the bottom left corner, we have Lucy from Badnightstar, maybe the older soul of the bunch and someone you shouldn't mess with! Half sleeping on the table, but do not think she isn't sharp, we have Tod from StardustNeeko Behind her, talking to Shelley, we have the always cool Amelia by Sabhamun. And last but not least, the handsome orange hair boy with the hand on Aliki's shoulder is Velvet from Modig Kanin.

question about the Skeld crew! what are their favorite tasks to do aboard the ship- for the Impostors too, if they *must* do a task what do they choose?

Mweheheh... all the impostors have to do tasks too >:3c - partially because they blend in better that way in context of storytelling; and partially because when there's only one crewmate, things are gonna go all over the place real fast otherwise xD so I went ahead and answered for all of them!

Guinevere (Captain White)

prefers more administrative tasks overall due to habit as captain and also they're less strenuous.

Charting course, calibrating steering and other helmwork is especially preferred as it gives her a sense of control

enjoys shooting down asteroids when she gets the chance. They're a de-stressor for her.

hates comms work, it puts her on edge knowing she's now an impostor and could be found out if she had to directly interface with anyone in the process.

Jeremy (red)

likes cleaning vents. He finds funny stuff and sometimes also his friends are in there! :)

loves 'simon says', it's musical and involves pressing buttons!

may like stabilizing steering if it involves messing with the controls. He can pretend he's steering :)

hates standing still for medical scan, and dislikes tasks like data 'loads that involve him running all over the ship for abstract reasons. He gets power diversion conceptually so that's fine but data uploads don't feel like something that needs done in a tangible way.

Ciar (black)

is autistic and humans are special interest (/silly wording), so they enjoy most tasks on principle of "it's a Human Thing!"

some tasks are sensory overload for them (eg fuel) so those aren't as great.

not good at tasks just because he likes them :(

Xanth (Yellow)

he doesn't mind shooting asteroids. Sometimes he pretends they're crewmates.

mystified by the circles in electrical. It's surprisingly effective in keeping him quiet for a few moments.

can never card swipe successfully and loses his temper over it.

hates cleaning out vents? (Gross ig???? I'm always learning new things about this weirdo it feels like)

dislikes emptying garbage chutes (loud)

Ursa (Brown)

the less she actually has to do, the better.

downloads, sample check are good. Also emptying trash.

she would enjoy medscan if she could actually do it without raising suspicion. (Rosalia fakes the data for her)

Sky (Cyan)

he likes emptying trash but also fucks around with it by yanking the lever up and down for fun.

surprisingly enjoys cleaning O2 of leaves.

don't make him do wiring. He'll do it no complaints but he never matches them. He prefers to be "creative" with his matchups.

he can't do card swipe and will stand there all day trying. You have to pry him from the console if you need a turn.

honestly most any task you set in front of him is "he'll do it but Poorly" even if emotionally he's engaged because he makes minigames out of everything lmao

Rosalia (Pink)

excels at card swipe and loves showing off - Especially in front of Xanth.

dislikes handling fuel refills - it's grimy.

not as great at shooting meteoroids - her reflexes aren't the best

Enjoys snooping during download tasks and checking out files if anything grabs her eye

She'll also actually study the medical samples closely, she's intrigued by them

Thanks for the prompt!! I had fun considering how each would feel about different tasks hehe

Looking 4 Love! The premiere!

Standing in front of what clearly was a homemade set, though it was done well enough. A single camera on a tripod was pointing at her. “OH right..” presses a button to make music play from her phone.

Cue the theme song.

“HELLO EVERYONE! I’m Catalina Darling! You may know me from my family’s weapon and armor shops but today I’m here for a different reason.” Pointing to the show logo written on a heart in the background. “Welcome to Looking 4 Love!”

“That’s right, thanks to the generous folks at Ciar Industries, I’ve been granted air time to host my new dating show! Sure we’re...only carried by a few districts right now but some day we’ll be all over Apricus!”

“Now, on to the details! Looking 4 Love aims to bring you and your soulmate together! I’m here to help you find that special someone! Want a date for the weekend, or looking for that partner for life? I’m here to help either way! All you have to do is send us a little video of yourself! Your name, age, preferences, hobbies, things about you!”

“I’ll use my incredibly scientific methods to find your perfect match! When I get the uh..studio up and running I plan on having an audience! You’ll be able to come down here and get interviewed live! Won’t that be fun!”

“Anyway, I’ve got to get back to work so feel free to send in those videos to the address at bottom of your screen! I look forward to hearing from you, remember..there is no force greater than the power of love!”

[farraigeart]

Question time. One of your characters (you can choose, I'm not terribly picky) now has their own Parable experience, meaning that they are basically in their own Stanley Parable, named after them and everything. Whether or not they get the *ultra deluxe* experience is also up to you, and I'll have some optional questions for that case.

So, with that in mind...

What is your character's first ending? What endings would they probably miss on the first several run-throughs?

How do they react the first time they are reset?

im so thankful for getting a question about my ocs but AUGH... ive never actually played or watched someone play the stanley parable ;w; so i couldn't give an accurate answer

from my very basic knowledge of the game though... i feel like ciar and jovian would be really interested in something like that! ciar is just kind of a weirdo and jovian is super artsy and loves to Ponder

ah despite my Bad Answer i appreciate the fun ask and curiosity :,> so thank u!!

[the-maddox-hatter]

Maddox, Clover, and Chausie all whisper to each other and giggle as they finish setting everything up. They've laid out cakes and cookies and prepared tea and have set everything up as best they can on a table in the Auradon Prep garden. They know Ciar has had a real rough time lately so they've decided to throw them an unbirthday party to cheer them up.

"They're coming!" Clover says as Maddox finishes putting the candles on the cake. The three of them turn to face Ciar, who looks confused and intrigued by the sight in front of them.

"Happy unbirthday!" The three cheer for them, causing Ciar to break out into a large, Cheshire grin.

"You guys shouldn't have," Ciar says as Chausie guides Ciar to their seat and the three sit next to them.

"But of course we did! It's your unbirthday!" Maddox says as he pulls out his lighter and starts to light the candles on the cake for them.

"Aaaaa very merry unbirthday to you!" Clover starts singing, making them all laugh and causing some of the other students to stare, most noticeably Herkie, the son of Hercules and Megara, but they don't care.

"Who me?" Ciar goes along, causing the others to start singing along, too.

"Yes you!" Chausie sings.

"Oh me!"

"Lets all congratulate us with another cup of tea. A very merry unbirthday to you! Now blow the candle out my deer and make the wish come true!" The three sing to Ciar, causing them all to laugh and then Ciar blows out the candles and the cake flies up into the air and explodes into multiple small fireworks.

"You even got the right cake, too!" Ciar says happily and Maddox grins.

"Baked it myself."

The three of them sit down next to Ciar and they all start to pour themselves tea and eat the tea cakes. "We thought this might cheer you up," Chausie says.

"It has, thank you guys," Ciar says.

"It was Clover's idea," Maddox explains before drinking his tea.

After some time laughing and eating and drinking Maddox slams his hand down on the table, causing all the plates and cups to rattle. "Clean cup! Move down!" He says, carrying on the way his own father does at tea parties sometime and without questioning it everyone moves down at the table.

But before they can all get settled in their new seats Herkie storms over to the table and pulls on the table cloth, causing everything to fall off the table onto the ground and causing the teacups and teapots and saucers to break. "Can you freaks ever shut up? I know you oddities are loud and obnoxious but you're not in Wonderland anymore you're in Auradon, act like it! You all are so annoying," he snaps before storming off back to his group of friends.

The four friends stare in shock at their ruined unbirthday party and watch Herkie storm off, unsure of what to do or say. They were just having harmless fun, people in Wonderland throw unbirthday parties all the time. The four of them exchange glances and then they all look to Ciar, who this unbirthday party was for.

They stare at their triplets and their friend and give them a small, sad smile. "Well, it was fun while it lasted. Thank you guys, it was really nice," they say before disappearing and teleporting away.

Clover, Chausie, and Maddox are now left with a mess to clean up and they all glance over to Herkie, sitting with his friends acting as though nothing had even happened, before wordlessly trying to gather up anything salvageable.

[cheshire-children]

"I'm gonna go find a place to put these bones, have fun you two but not too much fun," Ciar teases before popping out to go back to their room.

Clover looks baffled at Ciar's remark and looks to Chausie with confusion. "What do they even mean by that? I'm gay."

"They're just messing with you, baby brother," she says as she smooths her dress. Clover scowls at her when she calls him baby brother. "Well I'm off, too. I have to make all your stuffed animals. It was nice to meet you, Bee, and thank you for the teeth." And with that Chausie is gone, too.

Clover huffs and rolls his eyes "I gave you teeth too, ya know," 'he mumbles under his breath before turning to Bee. "I know cacti, there's some in Auradon and we have a few here. I'm not the biggest fan of them but they're pretty cool."

Bloody Bee giggled as she ran, chais was alive and well here in this unknown land “hmmm how odd yet pleasant. How did I end up tangled in here I wonder “

Clover is sitting in a tree in his cat form, enjoying the peace and quiet of the forest. As much as he loves chaos and thrives off of it, everyone occasionally needs a moment of peace and quiet. He hears someone giggling below and looks down and notices it's someone he's never seen before. Curiosity takes over the cat and he turns invisible, deciding to float around this stranger and see if perhaps she has something of interest he could take.

At the beginning of 2019, I declared this the Year of Celtic Women. I’m proud to say that completed five episodes entirely dedicated to the women of Celtic music, with the generous help of Lady Susan of Thunder on the Plains. I feel like this podcast grew a lot as we talked about gender equality in Celtic music. So much so that I plan to continue my quarterly episodes dedicated to the ladies.

Now many of the shows featured soloists or females bands. But I think in 2020, I’m gonna expand and just highlight all women for these episodes: the singers, the instrumentalists, whomever. I’m excited to hear our community grow. And I thank you for being a part of it!

Karen Mitchell Carothers emailed: “Morning Marc! I was just listening to Episode 437 of the podcast here at work and thought I'd finally write in. I've been listening since the early days. Today, I'm getting jiggy with it while at work at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center. Satellites don't take holidays, but the awesome music always makes my work day go by faster."

Rollin Butler emailed: "Hi Marc, we watch a PBS kIds animated show called “Molly of Denali”, and they had an episode of Fiddle Playing, “Jigging,” like Irish Step Dancing. I wondered if you have info about the Irish influence on the Alaska peoples, maybe from “Yukon gold Rush.”  Keep up the good work, and don’t let the Naysayers get you down."

KIM KNEBEL emailed: "Greetings Marc and family. Sitting in my cozy warm bed listening to the program before getting busy for the celebrations. I love the show and really appreciate the diversity you showcase. I adore traditional Celtic music, of course, but things evolve and it's fun to see how folks have used the auld tunes to launch new music. I usually key up the podcasts on my trip up north for jewelry making classes. Makes the commute go by quickly and very pleasantly. Thank you for all you do to promote Celtic culture through the podcasts, newsletter and trips. Slainte!??"

Nancy Klein emailed photos: "Dear Mark, I am an American woman who loves your show. I listen to it in Spain, where I live now. We used to live in Ireland where I really enjoyed listening to music there. So your show brings Ireland back to me. Here are three photos of the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland, where you will be going on your upcoming trip with fellow Celtic music lovers. Enjoy! With appreciation for all that you do,"

D. E.

Headcanons A-Z

D - Director - How much do they feel the need to have control over their life? Do they spend a lot of time telling others what to do or and they more likely to be more obedient to others?

Immensely. Roman might not show it openly but not being in control of a situation can prove rather distressing for him as it reminds him of how powerless he was back when he was a child. His parents were incredibly controlling, not even allowing Roman the freedom to speak his own mind unless he said exactly what they wanted him to say. Living under the thumb of such repressive socialites who, when safe and sound behind closed doors, were such hypocrites who didn’t even believe the falsehoods they spouted, it confused and upset him so much Roman refused to be anything like them once he grew up. Unfortunately by then his parents had done their damage, dictating everything he said and did to the point that when Roman is no longer in control over his life, he does NOT take it well. Arkham is an especially difficult place for him to be for this reason, the man no longer able to find joy in something as simple as dressing however he pleases on top of being subjected to ‘treatment’ he neither wants nor believes he needs. Outside of Arkham, losing control over a situation can fluster Roman if not send him into an outright panic attack. Upon becoming one of Gotham’s Rogues, Roman spends plenty of time telling people what to do. Ordering underlings around, forcing rivals to submit to his rule, threatening his enemies - he’ll tell everyone what to do and enjoy every second of it, especially as he rises through the ranks of crime lords before reaching the top. The satisfaction of ordering politicians around and even members of the wealthy elite is so gratifying, it pleases Roman like nothing else. The only people Roman is remotely ‘obedient’ towards is either those he has to (under threat of duress) or a partner he’s particularly keen on pleasing. He’ll resent the former deeply, hating them with every fibre in his heart but the latter situation takes time before he’s comfortable doing so. Only when he’s developed enough trust in somebody else does he willingly cede control over to them.

E - Entrepreneur - How do they make money? Are they willing to take financial risks? How do they approach making deals with others?

Crime, and lots of it. Once Janus Cosmetics had been bought out by Bruce Wayne to help contend with hundreds of lawsuits resulting from the company injuring hundreds of people through hazardous chemicals, there remained very little of the grand wealth Roman had grown accustomed to enjoying. Taking what little remained, he sought to procure wealth from illegal activities instead, investing in and selling drugs on the black market before delving into the weapons industry and arms trade. Roman is decidedly more cautious about his deals since his experience of getting burned by the toxic chemicals he’d invested in during his time as a CEO but he’ll invest in anything at least once to see how it turns out, then continue conducting business should doing so turn out to be a profitable endeavour. He has few qualms about making his wealth, loaning to the desperate with punishing rates of interest he expects to be paid back, selling highly addictive drugs to anybody who has the money to purchase them and encroaching on the territory of rival groups, sweeping them into his fold before forcing them to work for him instead so he gains more control over an area and the resources within. His deals are harsh but fair since Roman knows being too oppressive to even be considered as a last resort is unlikely to bring him customers. For other criminals, few people are better at obtaining weapons as quickly and discreetly as Black Mask and Roman will gladly sell his wares to both sides, not caring about the damage done so long as he profits from the conflict.

What Tragic Horror Character Trope Are You ?

THAT WHICH CANNOT BE KNOWN

Oh god. How did it come to this? To some extent, you've gone so far past your own idea of "human" that it must be kind of fun, right? Maybe. I'm not sure. As an artefact of cosmic horror, you're wild and wacky and colourful and people are probably drawn to that, but you will never let them know you. The mystery intrigues for a while, but it'll wear everyone down. It'll wear you down, too. Who are you? Do you remember? Are you so far gone that you can't go back? And maybe that's the most tragic thing of all- becoming so distorted in your identity, and for so long, that no matter how hard you want to return you can't ever seem to figure it out. But you've learned a vast amount up in the stars, and people will work hard to get to know you. It doesn't matter who you used to be. Sometimes, you should just start from scratch: give yourself a name, a birthday. Let someone celebrate these things with you.
