Also someone should have really reminded Kakashi to pay attention to that tiny part of his genius brain that recognises random patterns, before he called a rest stop on the way home on top of an old, decayed Uzushio travel seal with an over-chakra-charged Uzumaki. And he thought the month of the Wave mission was long, now he's stuck with the team, in a place he never expected to have anything to do with, with no way back. Maybe he should have paid more attention to history, or stayed in the academy long enough to have history classes.

Fun fact: The signal mixup in WoFC was just me mixing them up when Naruto was explaining them to the others. I wouldn’t have noticed my stuff up unless commenters had gotten exicted about what would happen.

Reader: wow! I’m so curious how you’re going to fit everything you’ve been foreshadowing in here!

Me, frantically flipping through my notes, trying to figure out if I’ve accidentally foreshadowed something I Shouldn’t Have: ummm, yes. Right. Uh, just for fun, would you mind telling me what, that would be… exactly.

Solarians and The Energy Planes (Planescape)

So Paizo finally previewed the most unique of Starfinders classes: The Solarian. Can I just say that I hope Pathfinder gets an equivalent of this class, because mystical power based on the lifecycles of Stars is total gravy for me.   

So for a little while, I’ve been trying to figure out something, anything, to add to my Nonfiction Resources for Planescape that’s relevant to the Positive and Negative Energy Planes. It’s actually pretty tough, the concepts of these two inner planes are very esoteric and they aren’t really rooted in any mythology I’m aware of. Eventually, I settled on adding some resources about light to the Positive Energy Plane, as well as some on cancer, since unrestricted growth has always been a thread of the Postive. Still nothing for the Negative Energy Plane, since entropy is always buried deep in courses on Thermodynamics and the undead aren’t exactly studied academically (although JSTOR and I are working on that).  

I’ve also wanted to find a niche for Physics, especially quantum physics, in Planescape. As I’ve noted before, I did science fantasy and I think there are some really interesting spaces to explore if real-world physics work on the planes. 

Do you see where I am heading with this? 

What struck me about the Solarian was the dichotomy between life giving stars and matter-crushing black holes. Starfinder doesn’t make one good or evil, photons and gravitons and just parts of reality, bound up in the neverending cycle of the cosmos. Sound familiar? The life-giving processes of the stars mirror the Positive Energy Plane, while the crushing oblivion of black holes is an excellent analogue to the Negative Energy Plane. To be fair, this is not actually a wholly original idea on my behalf, Occult Adventures mentions that portals to the Negative Energy Plane can be found in the accretion disks of Black Holes. 

So where does that leave us? It seems to me that the Electroweak Force (Electromagnetism and the Weak Nuclear Force) should be associated with the Postive Energy Plane, while the Gravitational Force is associated with the Negative Energy Plane. I like having gravity under the purview of the Negative Energy Plane since gravity can be deadly to life, but it is also absolutely essential to its formation. There are lots of negative connotation to the Negative Energy Plane as being anti-life, but this helps to emphasise that both planes are fundamental parts of the multiverse. Now for some physics inspired adventures!

[circulars-reasoning]

Hey, follower here - I don't mean for this to be attacking, because I genuinely have always appreciated you and your blogs, but if I can ask: Why are you supporting the Eddies/WOFC's system? That system has done pretty terrible things, and despite them trying to change it's... fairly clear they haven't, given their recent actions. As someone who cares about people that system has hurt, I really just want to understand. I'm sorry if this comes off attacking, I've been tossing around the idea of asking for like a week now so I probably just seem overly aggressive or formal because I've been thinking. /gen

Thank you for being genuine! Don't worry - it doesn't read at all as an attack, and I absolutely understand what you're saying. Honestly, I was waiting to be attacked for it, so your ask is kind of a breath of fresh air. I'd like to preface this with a TW for sh, sui ideation, and of course the general content of that system's actions.

Firstly: I do not condone the actions of that system. I think some of what they've done is disgusting, heinous, and genuinely has damaged myself and others to the point of even me wanting to end it. I genuinely hope they take a sincere step back and analyze what they've done, and why, and most of all, how to change it.

Secondly: I am far too forgiving of a person, because I get it. I have also been a horrible person. I have also done things that nobody should forgive me for - and yet, people have, and those people are the only reason I'm alive right now. Honestly, I see myself in some of their actions - my traumatized, younger self, who also had a "forced dormancy" and also said I wanted entire groups of people to die out of my hatred for life at the time.

What that system has done has driven people to SH and contemplate suicide. That should not be "forgiven" in the sense that I don't believe I will ever forget those actions and I do not believe I can ever consider the system a "friend" to me. I cannot erase that from myself. However. That doesn't mean I cannot care for a person in their time of need. Maybe that's what friendship is, by others definitions, I don't know. I just care.

I saw what the Eddies were posting. The majority of it was suicidal ideation. Nobody, regardless of how much I despise their actions, deserves to go through those moments alone. So, I reached out to let them know that someone out there cares if they exist, and someone out there wants to see them grow. Let me restate that more clearly for those out there who aren't getting it: I reached out to a suicidal person and let them know someone gave a shit if they lived.

I have this inherent belief that people can change. I think Wall and Jake were pushed to limits due to trauma and acted out because of it, and I think they were pushed further than anybody should be pushed. And I cannot fault them for lashing out (even if I can fault the action). I'm not going to blame a victim for their trauma responses. What I CAN do is reach out to them and comfort them while they're in crisis.

I also want the systems who have been hurt by that system to know that I care about them as well. I've been having trouble recalling all of the events that have happened (joy, dissociative amnesia and trauma shit going on for me!) but I do know a lot of the folks involved deactivated or were termed or what have you. I've reached out to some of them as well - a lot of people in syscourse actually! When I see folks in crisis, I always reach out when I am mentally able to (and sometimes when I'm not). I've even unblocked folks before to do so.

To anyone out there: My inbox is open if you need to chat, or vent, or get it off your chests. Always has been! I prefer not going through DMs when possible, because it can be a trigger for me, but if need be, contact me that way. I just... want to be available for those in crisis.

(I'm also going to be releasing a draft at some point about the topic of people being at different stages of recovery! I think that will touch on some of these ideas as well.)

check out this big ass bowl of ramen I got last night. you can only see meat but I swear there’s ramen underneath ok

[vorthosjay]

Which recently released WofC products were you involved on?

I’ve been involved on the fiction side of things for things for every set since War of the Spark. I had a credit on Mythic Odysseys of Theros, and I’m working on the Boom! Comics. Most recently, I wrote Planes of the Multiverse which is an artbook that was delayed until august.

I have advance knowledge of a lot of sets, so I can’t speculate on them, but to date I haven’t had any involvement with a card set other than knowing they exist and seeing art and world guide stuff.

do you want to be part of my imagines tag list?

Chris had chosen you to be his forever, and he didn’t want to get married to anybody else on the entire planet. He wanted to spend his entire life with you. He wanted you, flaws and all. He loved you through it all. The wedding was going to take place this Friday, and Chris found himself getting more excited the closer the day got.

As for you, picking out the wedding dress seemed like the hardest job in the world at the moment. You would spend your time wedding dress shopping with your friends and family, but not one single dress stuck out to you. Every trip ended with you not liking it, the dress didn’t feel right. It was frustrating and overall stressful, but you didn’t want to let your soon-to-be-husband to know that.

You knew Chris was already dealing with all the anxiety coming from the wedding planning that you didn’t want to pile on anymore distress to the situation.

“I still don’t think this is the one,” you said, staring at yourself in the large mirror. “I say we try the other one.”

The woman nodded and quickly sped off to fetch the other dress. You sigh to yourself and retrieve your phone out of the pocket you placed it in. You gasp as you saw all the notifications from your fiancee, five missed called and five text messages asking where you were. It had totally slipped from your mind that Chris had a special night planned for you tonight.

The nice lady came back in with the dress you asked for, but you politely explained the circumstance to her. Luckily she understood and excused you from the dress fitting, you gave her a very good tip in return. You felt bad for leaving so abruptly, but you were already late to the romantic night that Chris had planned for you at your house.

>

You barge through the front door, instantly inhaling the sweet smell of your favorite food. Chris poked his head out from the kitchen and smiled widely as he saw that it was you.

“Glad to see you didn’t leave me,” chris joked, walking out the kitchen while drying his hands on a rag. “now time for that romantic night I promised you.”

Chris walked up to you and intertwined his hands with yours, leading you through the kitchen to the most romantic set up you had ever seen. Candles, roses, it was perfection. You smile brightly and peck your lover on the lips before going to sit down. You two gather together your plates of food before Chris began talking.

“I understand that you’ve been dress shopping lately [Y/N],” chris spoke, cutting into his stake. “and your mother told me about the stress you’ve been going through lately.”

“Oh, um, yeah, sorry,” you apologized, beginning your cutting of the steak as well. “I just didn’t want to pile anymore stress on the planning. I know you’ve already got a lot on your plate.”

“[Y/N], I am always willing to help you out regardless of the situation,” chris reassured, focusing on you. “you’re going to be my wife, and I don’t want you to hold anything back from me. I may not understand, but I promise I will try my best to. If you’re going through anything, just know that I am always here to listen.”

“Thanks Chris,” you thanked sincerely, slightly blushing. “I guess it’s just hard to find the right dress.”

“See, that I understand,” chris said, receiving a confused glare from you. He blinked. “oh, um, I mean it was hard trying to find the right woman to marry, but once I did, I knew instantly that she was the one.”

“But how did you know?”

Chris smirked with a nonchalant shrug. “You just know.”

Chris reached across the table and placed his hands on yours. He bored his eyes into yours and gave you a sweet smile. That simple smile was your reassurance that everything was going to be alright. Chris could let you know that things were going to be okay from a single look. The rest of the night went just as Chris planned, amazing. At the end of the night, Chris had you swaddled in his arms and asleep in your bed.

>

Morning arrived and Chris was no longer in bed, but instead there was a note that read “Head to the kitchen.” with Chris’s name signed at the bottom, letting you know that he was the one who wrote it. You get out of bed and followed the orders of the piece of paper. You walk into the kitchen, your eyes widening at the most beautiful white dress that made the other dresses you tried on look like trash.

“You like it?”

You whip around at the unfamiliar voice, gasping in reaction. You throw your hands over your mouth as the female designer approached you.

“Y-You're—”

“Yes. I know,” she chuckled, shifting her eyes over to the bright white dress that was laid out on the counter. “Chris contacted me at the beginning of this week and asked me to design a dress for you.”

“You’ve made dresses for all my favorite idols!” you squeal as she made her way over to the dress. “I can’t believe my wedding dress was made by the Vera Wang!”

“Gee, I sure sound important when you say my name like that,” she said humorously. “now, let’s go get this fitted on you before Chris gets back. He said that he could only shop for so long.”

You chortle at her comment and followed her instructions as she assisted you with the dress fitting. You knew the second that you laid eyes on the dress was the one. Chris was right, you would just know when you saw the dress. The experience was even greater as you tried it on, it fit perfectly and everything! You couldn’t wait until your wedding which was now tomorrow!

“This is my dream dress!” you expressed joyfully, smiling at yourself in the long mirror. “I can’t believe Chris really did this for me,” you turn toward the designer. “thank you so much Vera, this means the world to me.”

“Of course honey, you look absolutely stunning,” she complimented with a bright smile. A ding comes from her phone and she pulled it out to look at it. “well, it seems that Chris is a half hour away,” she swung her eyes up to you. “do you want Chris to see you in it?”

You shake your head. “No, he’ll have to wait until tomorrow, I want to surprise him just like he did to me.”

“Sounds good,” she nodded. “now let’s get you out of that dress.”

>

You never knew that this day would ever come, but it was funny how things played out sometimes. You started out as an extra in one of Chris’s films, not knowing that a simple smile and wave could take you a long way. Every morning before Chris started his shoot, you would greet him with a kind smile and wave. You never thought it took an impact on him because he was the big star and you were just the extra.

If it wasn’t for him joining you at lunch on that one day, you never would have gotten to know him and he wouldn’t have known that you were the one he has been looking for. There you were, minutes away from walking down the aisle, ready to show Chris the dress. You just hoped that you weren’t going to be emotional. The time had come and you found yourself walking down the aisle with your arm linked to your fathers.

You couldn’t believe it, you were going to marry the love of your life. The second that Chris laid eyes on his soon-to-be-wife in her dress, he immediately choked up. He envisioned the perfect life with you, being together forever. There was no other way he could imagine his life when it came to raising a family. You were the perfect wife, beautiful inside and out. The event felt like a blur, the music echoed through your head.

Before you knew it, you were hand in hand with Chris and the officiant ready to make it official. It felt like it was only you and Chris in the room. Chris clenched his jaw, a tear sliding down his cheek as he blinked. You gently bite down on your bottom lip, gradually feeling the emotions catching up with you. The officiant turned the time over to you and Chris, and Chris volunteered to go first.

“I’m the luckiest man on earth to call you my wife [Y/N],” chris said, his voice trembling. You could tell that he was holding back more tears than he was showing. “I know you’re going to be an amazing wife, mother and grandmother. You’ve loved me through all my hard times and forgave me when I couldn’t even forgive myself. Thank you. I love you so much.”

Chris sniffled, tears sliding down his cheeks. He took a quick moment and swiftly wiped the wet tears off his face, sighing.

“I’m sorry I’m emotional,” he apologized, taking a deep breath. “you just look so beautiful in that dress [Y/N]. It just reminded me how grateful I am to have such a gorgeous woman like you in my life. Inside and out.”

To think that you wouldn’t get emotional, those words started the water works. You tried to keep the tears in, but once you blinked, they began to come as well. Chris was good at making you feel the same emotion. You take in a deep breath and continue with your words, striking Chris in the heart just as much. He tightened his grip on your hands as the priest got to the part you’ve been waiting for.

“I do.” chris proudly spoke, a smile growing on his face. “I do. I do. I do!”

You chuckled and so did a couple of people in the audience. He was such a dork sometimes. The priest said his things to you and before you said those two most important words in your life, held your husband’s hands firmly.

“I do.”

WoFC Chapter 26 will not stop multiplying itself.

Draft 1 was 4381 words, draft 2 was 6059, Draft 3 was 6787 and draft 4 is currently sitting at 7027 words, which may make it the longest chapter in WoFC.

I usually only have 3 drafts.

At least, this should only be a copyedit so I shouldn’t be adding too many more words. And if it does, too bad I’m just going to post it and move on. Just need my brain to click into copyediting mode now.

Steelbound Fighter (Fighter Archetype, Eberron)

Nostalgia is a powerful force, and I've talked about it in many different contexts. One of the very first RPG books I ever bought was Song and Silence, probably because as a short paperback it was one of the cheaper ones. I still remember how that book introduced me to the singing sword. This is when the concept of intelligent weapons as being awesome finally came home to me. The steelbound fighter milks that awesomeness for all it's worth, being able to invest a portion of themselves into their weapon to make it intelligent.

Canonically, steelbound fighters arise from bloodlines that have been subjugated to extended possession. In Eberron, this does not necessarily have to be the case. It could be entirely possible, for example, that some fighters who barely escaped the Mourning channel the spirits of Cyre's dead into their weapon instead of learning how to specialize in wielding swords or axes. By the same token, a Cultist of the Dragon Below could have learned a ritual to infuse a rakshasa spirit, a broken soul, or sentient blood into their weapons of war. You could also go with a relatively simple route, such as a kalashtar fighter with a stronger than normal bond to their quori spirit, allowing the spirit to manifest within a spear. A Cannith heir tinkering with weapons to make them more like warforged also works perfectly in the context of the archetype.

The key with steelbound fighters is that the archetype is highly flexible. Don't fret over what the ultimate source of the intelligent weapon is. It could be divine, arcane, psionic, occult, or dumb luck. Whatever way you swing it, this archetype gives you a lot of flexibility in creating a fighter with occult, esoteric, or religious themes.

Professor Dyck ir'Tain at Morgrave University is quick to take an interest in the party's steelbound fighter. Some may take umbrage with the unsolicited badgering, but in truth, the professor honestly just wants to try to establish the arcane underpinnings of the fighter's intelligent weapon. If the party is willing to act as his representatives, the professor is prepared to be their patron and asks them to seek out steelbound fighters from Valenar, Droaam, Karrnath, Thrane, and even Riedra. Some of these fighters consider their weapons to be a divine gift, however, and they may not take well to the party's inquiries.

The Steelbound Captains of Farlnen are rare but legendary. The ghosts of great elven pirates are bound not to the Steelbound's ships, but directly to their bloodlines, periodically emerging in the weapons of worthy heirs to their legacy. These Bloodsails have an intense rivalry with similar traditions amongst both the Undying Court and the Tairnadal Elves, who mutually view the necromancy used in the process to be foul, and spirits as being unworthy of such an immortal honour. 

Disciples of the Lord of Blades have become more common in Aruldusk in recent months. They are lead by a fighter that calls itself Prophet. Many Thranes are quick to dismiss Prophet's claims that the Godforged speak to it, but its awakened bastard sword disagrees. The problem is that the consciousness in the sword emanates from a shard of Rak Tulkhesh's prison that was used in Prophet's creation.
