top 5 fable ships go

I don't know ship names very well so please forgive me

I've also decided to do 5 platonic and 5 romantic because yes

ROMANTIC

5. Wetbird- I am a proud Icarus POV main and I enjoy a healthy bit of Vens POV as well. There is something about this ship that just feels very right to me and also they both have experience with Fable so I feel like they'd have this ability when something might set the other off with trauma and stuff

4. Ghaae- The OG polycule on the server and they can do no wrong in my eyes. They support each other so nicely and its just wonderful.

3. Isla/Enderian- The momssss. I love them sm for so many reasons. Enderian being protective of Isla and only soft for her is mmmmm/pos

2. Ocie/Centross- you guys I love them. I love them so much. They are so similar and I love them so much and they're just mmmmmmm/vpos. How to I explain the love I have for these two.

Wolftross- I hold them in my little hands. As a Centross POV main(until the cathedral, ofc), watching this relationship form was one of my favorite things ever. From the castle back to spawn to s3, I love this ship with my whole heart.

PLATONIC

5. Rae/Wolf(Nightingstar?)- Okay so I love these two as a duo, and the cast can do what the cast wants to do with their characters. Now, with that being said- something about them becoming romantic didn't and still doesn't sit right with me. I can totally see the two in a QPR, they have a great dynamic as partners, but I just prefer them as a platonic ship.

4. Ari/Momboo- I have seen like three posts about them as partners and I hold them in my hands. The sun/moon imagery. The potential for nicknames. They would be wonderful QPPs.

3. End duo- They're such close friends. They are always there for each other. I hold them in my hands.

2. Ghosty/Momboo- LOTW and the guy she revived. The everlasting friendship. Their beauty as a duo. They are so good you guys I don't know how to sell this please just trust me on it.

Prison duo- I could go on for so long about why these two are the perfect platonic relationship in my eyes. They have similar trauma, saw each other at their worsts, when through so much shit and came out as best friends. Icarus taking off their jacket, which they don't do often, in front of Centross. Icarus letting Centross give them a tattoo. Icarus barely fighting Centross when he took off their gloves. Centross showing up on Icarus' doorstep with a skulk injury. Centross fighting Fable for Icarus. Them, everyone.

Athena’s Uncles

So, was Ulysses always supposed to be like a dad to Aax, or did it only come about after he was redeemable and wouldn't die at the end?

Definitely the latter! I don’t remember how much I’ve talked about things in depth before in terms of this, or how much I might be forgetting, so Metta or others can definitely correct me here, but he definitely wasn’t going to be Aax’s dad originally, in the slightest. That was a very late game decision. He was originally going to be almost a villain specifically for Aax and Ocie to combat.

Ulysses was originally just going to be involved with Project Leviathan, but would be able to give some information on Proteus (leaving the spot of the person who freed Aax open for a potential guest NPC)! At that stage, he was still going to be evil and die at the end. I remember at one point even pitching to some people (half jokingly) an almost Hannibal Lector style situation where they basically had him locked up in prison behind glass but would come to him for medical information, or for ways to help the gods (it would be why Fable ended up killing him, so that he couldn’t give information that could harm Fable).

Then at some point I think Metta was the one to suggest that Ulysses be the one who freed Aax. It would have just been a spur of the moment, sudden gaining of a conscience in what Ulysses thought would be his last moments. His final good deed, to make up for as much as he could as he realised how wrong he had been all this time, would be to free Aax. To make even the smallest of amends for the harm he’d caused, not because he cared for Aax, but just because Aax was there to be freed. Ulysses would have found that out not long before he died, and would have died knowing he was, despite everything he did, at least trying to do good. He might not have been a good person, but he did something good, in letting Aax out.

But the longer we sat with that idea, that Ulysses would free Aax, the more we developed it! As Ulysses was planned to stick around and not die, and we started to tie in that storyteller aspect, Metta approached me with the ideas for the animated cutscenes! This idea of Ulysses telling stories to taunt Perseus, but eventually growing despondent to the ways of the Telchin, to the point where he freed her. We scripted the four myth animatics (which eventually were cut down to only three, Proteus, Arachne, and Perseus) where they got softer each time, and we actually rewrote the last one to make it more parental and loving, in the end. And then that arc eventually became more of a caring, loving relationship. Where Ulysses viewed Perseus not as “a living thing that deserves a better life” but “the child I care for and who is my responsibility, who I need to give a better life”.

The actual loving parent decision was very last minute. Like as in,,, the few weeks before that reveal stream I think, when we recorded the cutscenes of the final myth and Ulysses freeing Aax, and saying he was proud of them and cared for them. Not quite being able to say he loved them. It basically wasn’t until we were in prestream call and then actively in the stream role playing live that we decided to have Ulysses say he loved Aax and thought of them as his child, and Aax to say that Ulysses was his dad. It just felt so right to play it like that in the moment, even if we hadn’t planned it to be specifically like that.

And I’m so impossibly happy with how those decisions snowballed and came together and formed into the story we have. It’s genuinely one of my proudest moments as a storyteller and creator and it means so much to me and I can’t thank Metta and everyone else involved enough 🫶

Do you ever have those days where you wake up, thinking everything is wonderful and right and it’s gonna be such a chill and easy day, only to turn on your computer and see your album has released a whole week earlier than you thought it would?

No?

Well um… completely and totally unrelated to that… My last Fable album is out streaming… like right now. And I was so very prepared for it. Mhm.

Guys I’m just imaging Veah walking into the kitchen one morning and being taller then aax at like 10 years old and the conversation goibg a lil something like this

*veah walks into the kitchen on her 10th birthday*

Rae:happy birthday star

Athena:*already holding flowers and cake* ITS THE BIRTHDAY GIRL

Fenris:morning star!

Caspian:morning!

Aax:……………*stares at veah*

Veah: thank you guys! Morning aax!

Aax:morning…… can you come here please

*veah walks to aax confused*

*everyone staring knowing what’s about to happen*

Aax:DAMMIT FENRIS YOUR CHILD GOT YOUR HEIGHT GENES

Everyone else:*giggling*

*icarus looking through the yellow door*

Icarus:HOLY SHIT THATS ONE TALL KIDDO I KNOW YOU CANT HEAR ME BUT STOP GROWING I NEED TO FEEL TALL WHEN I COME BACK

[ya-boi-haru]

An AU where Ulysses gets all his memories back first, but Aax is still super pissed and doesn't want to be near him, so Ulysses has to go about his days knowing his child resents him while he (im)patiently waits for her memories to come back.

[moocfitab]

Veah and Cari head canons :]

- when they're old enough to use elytra, Cari and Caspian fly around the Grove with the wind,

- Veah ends up being really protective of Cari after they're born, to the point where if Cari has a nightmare, or cries in the middle of the night, She's running to their crib before Rae or Caspian.

- Rae taught Veah how to hold Cari,

- When they were both babies, Rae would hold Veah and Cari in his arms and carefully dancing around the room singing to them.

- Rae taught Caspian the lullaby Isla used to sing to him, and one night Rae woke up to Caspian holding Cari against his chest and quietly singing to them. (And yes- Rae got up and sang along before the three of them fell back asleep)

- Veah taught Cari the Happy Hare dance- Who then taught Rae, Caspian, Aax and Fenris

- Cari sees Aax as another parent figure, usually using the term "Par" to refer to her. They picked this up from Oscar and Len

- Despite being the quiet one, Cari is a chatterbox with whoever they're most comfortable with. This has ended up with Rae and Cari having a full blown conversation about a random subject, then Ulysses or someone else walks into the room, and Cari stops talking, and ends up whispering in Rae's ear if they have a question. (What no I'm not projecting from when I was a kid nooooo)

- Ocie babysat Veah and Cari *once* (she taught them how to cuss, so when The Dads™ came home, Veah looked at Fenris and said "Aunty Kai taught us the word Shit!!"

- Cari watched Rae sew, embroidered and knit clothes, in a very similar way to how Rae watched Isla teach herself.

- When Veah first saw Cari asleep in their crib, she reached in and gently put her hand on their head

- Athena and Bruin taught Veah and Cari how to make flower crowns, Veah always wears Lilacs while Cari wears Dandelions.

Listen I keep having so many thoughts and feelings about these blorbos children- I luv them sm

Something something, basically the first story Aax was told by Rae, in the first sleepover in season 2, was the story of Andromeda and Perceus.

Been rewatching some of the lighthearted vods and that just made me very happy.

[thebesttesttubeuncle]

Aax ran until they couldn't anymore. Their body burned and their lungs screamed for more air. They had found a cave and curled up in a corner of it.

Everything was falling apart. Nothing was okay anymore. Everything was gone. Everyone was gone. Icarus was dead. Rae was gone. Ocie was lost. They didn't know where their mom or dads were but he found himself wanting them with every passing second. Their shaky hands buried into their hair and gripped it tight.

They were alone. In a cave. Again.

They didn't want to leave this time. Their cracked comm was on the floor maybe 10 feet away from them. The lockscreen had cracked more. Everyone in the picture had a crack between them.

Everyone was alone.

Hey

I think Aax is rlly good at makeup btw

Like does really intricate stuff

Their wedding makeup was BANGIN

He teaches people how so they can feel pretty

Its how Ocie learned how to do more graphic eyeliner:D

Also she did Ulysses' makeup once and that man felt prebby:]

[achilleabee]

rewatching Ulysses' pov and I'm up to Cydonia, and in honour of pride month take this:

"She was nice! Lesbians are nice, unless they're not"-Aax, 2023

[connorsnothereeither]

I was coming here to say that “More Than Anything” from Hazbin Hotel is a Ulysses and Aax song, but actually, I think that equally accurate is “Hell’s Greatest Dad” but it’s Ulysses and Vorago being petty about who’s the better father /hj

[the-uninformed-zennial]

Attention all Fable SMP Enjoyers!!!

(/lh, nsrs)

I have recently come to a shocking revelation regarding the beloved “Ghaae” ship in this fandom. (Specifically regarding one of its members, Caspian)

I have undeniable evidence that the Ghaae ship, and it’s creators, have been lying to us as a fandom regarding the intensions of some of their characters. (See below line for proof)

Caspian Solcrest is wearing socks, SOCKS! While engaging in what would otherwise be considered homosexual behavior in canon artwork. (Credit to Heyhay, Ghosty, and Metta for the beautiful artwork btw)

While the artwork that was shown on stream had a blanket covering them, this sketch CLEARLY shows Caspian’s feet are covered with socks. Which indicates he likely often sleeps with socks covering his feet. Unfortunately, I think we all know what this implies…

Ghaae is not actually gay.

You heard it here first. I’m so sorry for all of the upset this discovery will undoubtably cause. But we all must accept that they are, in fact, just homies who kiss each other goodnight.

Feel free to reach out (in the comments below) if you need any support in these trying times.

(Also shout out to my wonderful partner @hoardingpuffin for pointing this out to me)

I will be making a fic out of this.

[hoardingpuffin]

Ulysses and Aax are Anakin and Obi-Wan coded.

I will elaborate.

Obi-Wan, who himself nearly was cast out of the Jedi Order TWICE as a child, who just lost his father figure, who was just made knight without Qui-Gon being there to witness it, turning toward the Council proclaiming he will teach Anakin, no matter if they agree or not, and if it means having to leave the Order alltogether to do so, so he can give Anakin his best chance, the chance Qui-Gon wanted to give him. Grown Jedi Masters flat out stating that Anakin is not a child in their eyes, but a bomb waiting to blow up.

"He is not a child, he is a threat."

"He is just a child! None of this was his fault."

Ulysses, after years of building monsters, having lost everything - his family, his partner, his faith, himself - looking into the glass tube at an innocent child and realizing they are not a weapon, realizing the weight of Project Proteus, realizing the risk he was taking by going against the Telchins to take Perseus out of the tank, to try his best to teach him, raise him, show them she is loved regarless of the telchinian torture in the name of science and survival. Ulysses breaking Perseus out, wrapping his coat around them securely before sending them away, prepared to give his life so they are assured a chance at survival and freedom.

"It was a monster, Themist. An experiment"

"They were my child!"

Trained tracking dogs can locate blood that blood that is 6 months up to 24 months, depending on the conditions of where the blood is located. I wonder if Aax can smell as good as a trained tracking dog? This fun fact and random thought brought to you by the fact that Sage pointed out that Icarus, Rae,Aax, and ? stream is exactly four months to the day that Centross died.
