#Traitor's Reach

[tanglekat]

Today I learned that the original Magi-Nation TCG is holding late pledges for a Kickstarter to finally release an expansion that was never published.

To celebrate, I've decided to post these versions of the crests of the various regions of the Moonlands.

Some of them are different to the originals on the cards, but I had a lot of fun making them.

Document: The Traitor

(Or my personal take on the player in Pressure's Game Lore)

M-██████ - Codename: The Traitor, is a specifically made variant of M-████ made by Mr.█████ for the Blacksite Mission. (See document █████████ for more information)

Infected individuals by this variant are called Sleepers.

It has been modified to only find suitable Sleepers signed under the EXR-P unit. In the case of its current Sleeper dying, it will infect another EXR-P.

It is oblivious to its change of Sleepers, viewing its next run with its new Sleeper as another life. Though it does not grasp the concept that death is permanent and not reversible, viewing its next life as a normal phenomenon.

Due to its natural inclination to seek knowledge and take everything it can, it tends to gather all loose assets and all valuable equipment it can carry.

It excretes a colorless and odorless gas that Sleepers exhale, attracting Z-V06 when concentrated in an enclosed area, like lockers.

However, Sleepers inhaling this gas for too long in an enclosed area showcases symptoms of cleithrophobia and causes the Sleeper to leave the enclosed area immediately.

The smoke Z-283-Chainsmoker emits exacerbates this symptom.

As motivation for it to kill its current Sleeper before it can reach the Crystal, Mr.█████ has made a way to give it more information about the facility and its hazards when it changes Sleepers through the usage of the Saboteur's abilities.

It's shown to be effective during the early stages. Though currently, an unfortunate side effect of this action is that it now seeks out to survive until at least room 50 in order to meet the Saboteur.

[In the case that it reaches the Crystal, it will naturally make its current Sleeper fall down to their death before they can take the Crystal.

However, in its perspective, it believes that it actually took the Crystal and had to survive more rooms before it could 'win' thanks to Mr.█████'s abilities.

Depending on how it performs in this illusion, it will either meet the Saboteur as always when it 'dies' or transfer directly to another EXR-P unit thinking that it 'won'.]

Document: █████████

M-████ - Codename: █████████, are entities found in the █████████████ capable of entering the minds of people, taking root in the victim's brain to control their entire nervous system.

However, it is incapable of feeling the pain its infected individual experiences, leading their victim to be more susceptible to injury without being able properly treating it since it lacks proper self-preservation instincts.

Infected individuals lose autonomy on their own body, making them incapable of moving or talking. They remain conscious and self-aware even if infected severely, only retaining their capability to have their own thoughts and mind.

Dissections of the infected individuals showcases signs of brain damage left behind from a bright metallic-like substance, almost akin to mercury. Though most individuals have survived and recovered after being infected and released.

Transmission of unmodified M-████ is unpredictable as it is not traceable through any physical means. Though observations from known infected subjects showcase that key individuals in an infected subject's life can be more susceptible to being infected by M-████ as well.

One thing that is known about M-████ is that it has a natural inclination for seeking knowledge and taking everything it can, sometimes to the expense of the individual it has infected.

If someone you know suddenly developed an interest in exploration and/or asking invasive questions regardless of your closeness with the individual, contact ███████████████ immediately.

Finally someone who doesn't ship Wolfstar, and has a correct interpretation of the Marauders and their era. People like you are rare to find though I know two others.

Prongsfoot atleast makes sense but as you described, the Marauders era was all about 'four bestfriends, an `enemy to lovers`, a war and a betrayal.'

:)

Hello hello!

Indeed, there are very few of us canon-obsessed Marauders era fans, but I think the few of us that exist have a strong appreciation for each other. What I wouldn't give for a larger Marauders era canon fandom though!

While I am always always thrilled to hear I have got a good grip on the era (thank you very much for warming my heart <3), I will acknowledge that there are many ways to interpret the canon. What I try to do, and I always appreciate when others do too, is to distinguish between (1) what is canon; (2) what is fair/reasonable/likely interpretations based on the canon and (3) what is hc based on small stuff/limited evidence, or even nothing other than our imaginations/desires. There's nothing wrong with sharing (3) or arguing (2) - as long as it's not treated with the same authority as (1).

While I never saw Wolfstar in the text (nor do I see romantic Prongsfoot - it's just indulgent fun because I love the 'never saw one without the other' relationship Sirius and James have), I don't think I'd mind Wolfstar if it was kept truer to the source material. I am okay with different non-canon ships (Wolfstar, Prongsfoot, whatever they call RemusxJames) if it's based on the canon characterisation - and maybe that's why Prongsfoot often works best for me - because those stories, at least, cannot ignore the close relationship that exist between Sirius and James in canon.

For me though, like you point out, the Marauders are all about the friendship between the boys, and no story will get my love if the Marauders' friendships are ignored (not even Jily stories - unless we're talking narrower scope stories, like one shots). Sirius and James were best friends. Sirius and Remus were close friends. James and Remus were close friends. Peter were a close friend to them all. They were all great friends! And most of the time, I prefer the story of their friendships above this idea that they had to be sleeping with each other.

Xiao Jingyan: 你一定要把自己做的事都说得如此狠绝吗？// Must you speak so ruthlessly of everything you do? Mei Changsu: 我本来就是一个狠绝之人。人素来只会被朋友���卖，敌人是永远没有出卖和背叛的机会的。// I am a ruthless person. One can only be sold out by a friend; an enemy will never have the opportunity to sell or betray you. Xiao Jingyan: 这个我信。但你可知，你若如此待人，人必如此待你。先生如此聪慧，这个道理不会不懂吧。// That, I believe. But you must know that if you treat people this way, that is how they will treat you. With your intelligence, surely you must understand this. Mei Changsu: 我明白……可是我不在乎。殿下尽可以用任何的手段来试探我、考验我，我都无所谓。因为我知道自己心里忠于的是什么。我从来都没有想过要背叛。// I understand… but I don’t care. Your Highness may use any method you like to test me, examine me; it doesn’t matter. Because I know where my own heart's loyalties lie. And I have never held thoughts of betrayal.

anyway let's just add this to the 'conversations that are going to fucking haunt Xiao Jingyan once he realises who he was having them with' list

(it's like the langya list but with more knives)

[idontknowanametouse]

As a non-christian, it's really nice to watch "the chosen" with another point of view then most's, and still be able to see the messages behind the show.

I'm a pagan, and I believe Jesus was a "normal" guy with a strong spiritual connection to higher plans, because he was a very good person with a very "old" soul. Seeing him be portrayed as human (not only him, his followers too) makes me very happy

A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart Interview with the Vampire (2022)

[snailpaste]

Project 2025 is seeking to ban abortion by reviving an old anti-obscenity law called the Comstock Act.

The Comstock Act would ban "Every obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance".

Not only does that have profound repercussions for women, women's rights, and the autonomy of everyone, but it could ---and very likely will--- be used to persecute anything remotely LGBT-related.

In which I draw Mercutio and Tybalt within the & Juliet universe based off of a mix of Alpharad's performance of and my school's performance of Romeo & Juliet

I couldn't tell who Mercutio was and who Tybalt was so I just went off of colors I associate them with, I'm sorry if I got them wrong
