#and a bit of a trickster

[hcguesstheauthormessageboard]

That version might be true in your area.

And fyi, I had the whole story almost written out, but it didn’t feel right. So I cut it.

———————————————————————————————

ALSO DO NOT TAKE THIS AS IT IS CLAN PROPERTY AND HEAVILY CONDENSED.

———————————————————————————————

The version I know was that instead of the Sky People, it was the Night People, and the the chief, was Nass Shaak Aankáawu (Nobleman at the Head of the Nass River). Some versions say some type of tree needle and others don’t, but he transformed, was swallowed, and was born a human child. Nass Shaak Aankáawu loved him dearly, and he could to stand Raven crying, so he would eventually cede a bentwood box to him. First: the small box of stars, then the Moon, and finally the Box of Daylight. Then, upon completing his goal, he left.

But beside that story, there are many more, and they are all great. I’m mainly just gonna use the dynamics and their characteristics.

It’s gonna be great.

Can you guess who will be based off Raven?

I just had a Hypothetical Thought:

It's odd to me that Solas ends up trapped in his own prison. It's odd to me that he so readily gives a total stranger the reins in trying to fight his two escapees, Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain.

And just now, while re-watching one of the videos posted here on tumblr (which I'm not gonna reblog, videos get reblogged AFTER game release, it's so much easier to spoil people in videos and I'm not gonna.) I wondered if he might pull a Vetinari:

"Never build a dungeon you can't get out of".

In Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!, the patrician of the city Ankh-Morpork gets locked up in his own dungeons. When the main character of the story, Captain Sam Vimes, ends up in the dungeon with him, he learns that Vetinari has actually made himself quite comfortable until it is safe to leave again. Vetinari tells Vimes that one should never build a dungeon they wouldn't like to live in themselves, nor should they build one they can't escape.

And I know that Trick is a Discworld reader. They've talked about several of the main characters of the series on Twitter. I know that several of the other devs are as well...they might've gotten inspired.

Look, if this is a thing that happens, I'll be fucking delighted.

I havent done sprites in a bit but i had a lot of fun doing these, i tried to stick mostly to the canon style and drew most the sprite parts myself besides using nepeta's coat and editing the god tier sprites (also thank you to my partner for helping me decide some especially p1's <3 <3 <3)

Bonus alternate god tier for p3 cause i feel both are fitting for him

Mars, you have a lot more patience than I would at this point gdhfkjgdsfg. If you'll allow me to choose violence for a second:

-

Hi anon! Did you know you can engage with other people without interpreting every word they use in the worst way possible, making a million assumptions about their background and prescribing opinions to them they've explicitly told you they don't have?

I don't even disagree with all of those rebuttals, but if you want people to engage in discussions with you you have to treat them like human beings, not your opposition in a court case. What are you expecting to get back when you act like this? About nonexistent fingers in his ass guy?

You should at least have got off anon and owned what you said- unless you're using anon to block evade, in which case you should consider respecting people's boundaries.

:D waow…. feeling very cared for in this chili’s tonight

I was pouring a promised libation out to Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Dionysus this afternoon (I'd asked them for help with a personal matter involving a sibling) and as I was looking up at the sky talking about the situation I saw three hawks start to circle something a little ways in the distance. Hawks aren't exactly uncommon here but it had been a while since I'd seen any, let alone three at once, so it caught my attention.

And while I was trying to figure out what type of bird they were (not an eagle, too short a neck to be a vulture, etc) one of them swooped down into a neighbor's backyard and back up along the tree in my backyard, close enough that, if a branch weren't in the way, I would have been able to see its feather markings. While hawks were somewhat usual, experiencing that certainly was not. So, of course, when I got inside I looked up if any Greek gods are associated with hawks.

And, of course, Apollo is.

I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "this is just a Thing That Happens" and a sign so it was nice to see a direct example of how something differs when it's coming from a god.

casting the cantrip Minor Illusion in dnd requires a bit of fleece, in a cheeky reference to the real-world idiom 'pulling the wool over [someone's] eyes' -> proficiency with Minor Illusion is common enough amongst forest gnomes that at the very least all player character gnomes have it automatically, indicating that wool is trivially common in their communities -> forest gnome communities in particular are described as typically somewhat hidden and secluded, pointing to a high likelihood that shepherding and/or goatherding are traditionally common for gnomes themselves, rather than wool being a resource they have to trade for -> 'pulling the wool over [someone's] eyes' is an idiom that means 'to deceive or trick' in reference to the cantrip Minor Illusion, which is cast using a bit of fleece and which gnomes use to deceive and trick people ten times a day

I don't disagree that fandom ran further with the concept of fuckeries, but I would say that 1x04 is an important spiritual successor to the concept that felt like it was going to be significant. The first demonstration we got of how good Ed and Stede could be together was the lighthouse escape, which I would definitely count as a fuckery. It's a clever, creative victory that doesn't require violence, and it seemed to sate Ed's s1 stated appetite for drama/excitement/fun without triggering him.

Continuing from here... I mean I personally agree with you, but that's also mainly what I was talking about with fandom giving the idea more importance and interest than canon did.

I think a lot of people - myself included - drew that connection from 1x04's proto-fuckery to getting a name for it (and its potential role as a raid alternative) in 1x06 to Stede becoming a true student in 1x10. More detailed examples went for looping in 1x02 and/or 1x05 to show Stede leaning toward trickery over force.

The point isn't that the fandom (basically all of us, not a few outliers) was wrong to run with this - I think it was brilliant, actually, and a big part of why I even cared about writing meta about the pirate society of a romcom - but that the canon of S2 didn't pick the idea back up at all in a way that indicates it was never going anywhere. The pattern we spotted in S1 was apparently not the interesting comedic alternate to action/adventure swashbuckling, but something (significantly more boring tbh) that served to buoy our underdog Stede along without dying until he was far enough in his pirate journey to swing a sword successfully.

Is the lighthouse escape the first demonstration in a larger pattern of how Ed and Stede will work together in the future? Where their mutual tendencies toward creative solutions and dissatisfaction with abusive and violent pirate culture can find a new, more fun way of life?

Or is it a, yes, clever and creative escape they come up with together, but one that only has those specific traits because they are in an impossible situation where they can't fight their way out - narratively because the ship is stranded and crewed by useless pirates, and meta-narratively because they need Stede to contribute as an equal instead of just getting rescued (that was for last episode) and he can't do that in a fight yet?

We thought that the lighthouse plan was supposed to connect to 1x06 and 1x10, but I think it might have only been meant to serve as a fix to Ed's fog and full moon plan (i.e. making an impossible escape).

They just looked similar because all the various wins and conflicts of S1 were shaped around Stede's character journey, but the part of that journey where he can't jump into the fray and kill the mooks too as a real pirate ended with 1x10. Which is why they don't come up with a brilliant way to slip out of the Republic without a fight in 2x08. Stede doesn't need the genre crutch anymore. He is a swashbuckling hero now, and he and Ed can kill people side by side.

You know, once the trauma-based reasons they might not do so are healed by "something something... love maybe?"

Even though I've read a good amount of 60s Flash comics, I still don't think Barry Allen is my favourite character with superspeed. Quicksilver is a lot more fun to me, and even the 40s Jay Garrick sounds more fun and silly to me (some of the 40s comics sound very lighthearted and fun, but I can't read them because they're all in bad quality. sigh...).

But I found that I didn't really like Iris West, and that Barry Allen was okay (just not my favourite character). Really, the saving grace is the villians. Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, The Trickster, they're all such good villians. I love them and their gimmicks. I almost want to see Quicksilver deal with Flash's rogues. That way, we combine the superspeed character I prefer with the villians i love. That might be cool.
