anyways remember when people were like. genuinely honestly convinced that this HAD to be two different characters because... checks notes... the sm2099 3d model that was [Allegedly] slapped together for the stinger of ITSV a couple weeks before the film Released In Theaters doesn't look the same as the 3d model for miguel that an entire team of character designers with input from co-creator rick leonardi made over the past Solid Four Years At Least to feature in a full 2+ hr movie,, dbdbdbdbd

You ever get a compliment that alleviates a dysphoric feeling you didn't even know you had, so now you feel relief but simultaneously you're just figuring out that you had that issue in the first place? This experience is wild

SHE is/are known for being the SUNSHINE of the group & that’s because they can be CHEERFUL but also NAIVE. we bet they’re excited to be coming back to the cabin. they believe LILAC by IU is the best way to describe them. wonder what trouble they’ll be getting into this season.

full name: aranya saeli / nicknames: ari / age: twenty-five, born march 4th, 1997 / ethnicity: thai-american / sexual orientation: bisexual / occupation: twitch streamer & online personality / languages spoken: english, thai

faceclaim: fah yongwaree / hair color: brown / eye - color: dark brown / height: 5’3”

background

the youngest of her family, aranya would likely describe her upbringing as peaceful and loving. her mother was an art teacher at the very high school she attended, and her father owned his own law firm. both of her parents, in addition to her older brother, were seen as academically intelligent, a trait that wasn’t necessarily passed on to aranya. it wasn’t that she wasn’t smart, it just tended to take her longer to learn things, and she’d always found it difficult to stay focused on school.

in high school, she was popular, largely due to the fact that she was seen as a sweet, beautiful cheerleader that just wasn’t very bright. her heart was very pure growing up, and she often just saw the best in people and struggled to see when people would take advantage of her naive nature. 

despite her image in school, the only real interest she had in a career was in gaming. video games felt like the only thing that really kept her attention, and aranya began streaming on twitch while she was still in high school, largely gaining a following for her looks, and later for the fact that she was actually good at what she played.

her parents weren’t initially supportive of her choice to not go to college and decide to become an internet personality, but they eventually came around when they saw it was something she loved. she remained in her hometown until she made some decent money, moving to la and signing with a gaming organization for more stability.

headcanons

has been getting tattoos recently, looves the idea of having art on your body so she tries to make her stuff thought out

she’ll be streaming in the house whenever there’s off time but she’s big into shooter games (definitely different than her bright personality). got famous during the rise of fortnite as one of the biggest girl gamers playing the game at a high level, mainly plays warzone, apex, and valorant now

has a pretty sizable following since she’s been streaming for so long as well a decent following on instagram and twitter as a result of it

she says she’s grown and become less naive compared to before but she really does still see the best in people especially her friends

big life of the party gal!! wants everyone to feel included and have a good time

because she does have somewhat of a following a lot of her past relationships have been publicized. the producers asked her to act cute for the camera and be the sweet, pretty girl of the group (she does not know what that means)

smiles. a lot. is a big lover. loves love and everything about it and will fall in love with someone without realizing it

living in la definitely helped evolve her look and style. dresses very trendy and girly, always keeps up with the latest trends

she kind of brushed off the whole viral tiktok video to be honest. a bunch of people mentioned it on her stream but she just awkwardly laughed it off. 

secretly worries that her friends still view her as the dumb one. she’s not very book smart but likes to think she makes up for it with street smarts and good people skills

lives on takeout, cannot cook. do not let her in the kitchen ever. she’s nice and will offer to cook but all you will get is something burnt im sorry

wanted connections

best friends!! can either be vastly different from her or match her bright energy

exes: could have dated in high school or even after depending on the timeline. she generally someone who falls hard and quick but tries not to show it. if things ended badly she’s definitely the kind to pretend she wasn’t hurt by it and keep smiling

hookups/fwb: she’s a little flirty tbh. could have also been in high school or something recent

workout buddy: she likes to keep active since her job is basically sitting at a computer for eight hours a day

smart people that tutored her in high school !! she’s not very fast with it so sorry if you had to help her out

someone who the producers want her to have screentime with: some drama perhaps??

anything & everything

BACKGROUND:

the youngest of her family, aranya would likely describe her upbringing as peaceful and loving. her mother was an art teacher at the very high school she attended, and her father owned his own law firm. both of her parents, in addition to her older brother, were seen as academically intelligent, a trait that wasn’t necessarily passed on to aranya. it wasn’t that she wasn’t smart, it just tended to take her longer to learn things, and she’d always found it difficult to stay focused on school.

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Hey Meat! Currently combing through Matt Clayton’s Hindu Mythology: A Captivating Guide to Hindu Myths, Hindu Gods, and Hindu Goddesses and I was wondering if you could give like a little introduction to the main concepts/gods/goddesses? I’m seeing many terms like “the Veedas” and “the Shastras” as I go through it and I’m picking up context clues and I could probably google them but I’d like to hear from actual people and especially those who know and care deeply about these Myths (like you <3). So… can you help me? /gen

Heyyy Neptune! First of all I apologize it took me so long to answer you dfnsfjfdjg forgive meeee

I love how ardently you're researching Hinduism. I haven't really read his book, but I'll help you with giving you an overview of it, so to speak.

Firstly lemme tell you about the Vedic knowledge system, which consists of:

Vedas

Vedangas

Upavedas

Vedas: These are the oldest known scriptures of Hinduism. The religion has four Vedas, namely the:

Rig Veda (RV): book of hymns to the deities.

Yajur Veda (YV): book of mantras and worship rituals

Sama Veda (SV): book of chanting songs

Atharva Veda (AV): book of procedures of everyday life

Each of them have four subdivisions:

Samhitas (mantras, hymns, prayers and benedictions)

Brahmanas (explanations and instructions on performing Vedic rituals)

Aranyakas (texts on the meaning and symbolisms of rituals and ceremonies basically). They were mainly composed by sages who meditated in the wilderness, hence the name of the texts (aranya means forest in Sanskrit).

Upanishads (texts on meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge)

Upasanas (additional). These are texts on worship.

Vedangas: These are the six auxiliary disciplines of Hinduism, and are heavily linked to the Vedas. They are:

Shiksha: Study of phonetics

Vyakarana: Study of grammar

Chhandas: Study of poetic metres and rhythm

Niruktas: Study of etymology

Jyotishya: Study of astrology and astronomy

Kalpa: Study of rituals and guide to ritual instructions

Upavedas: These are texts regarding certain fields of work like:

Ayur Veda: Study of medicine and life sciences

Gandharva Veda: Study of music, art and dance

Dhanur Veda: Study of archery and warfare

Arthashastra: Study of business and administration

Speaking of Shastras, they are kinda similar to Upavedas, and deal with certain fields of knowledge, like we saw in the case of Arthashastra. There are many shastras:

Bhautikashastra - Study of physics

Rasashastra - Study of chemistry

Jivashastra - Study of biology

Vastushastra - Study of architectural science

Shilpashastra - Study of mechanical arts and sculpture

Nitishastra - Corpus on ethics and policies

Alamkarashastra - Study of rhetorics

Kavyashastra - Study of poetics

Sangitashastra - Study of music

Natyashastra - Study of theatre and dance

Yogashastra - contains instructions and teachings on yoga

Mokshashastra - contains instructions and teachings on moksha

Nyayashastra - contains instructions and teachings on justice, laws and judgement

Dharmashastra - contains instructions and teachings on dharma

Kamashastra - contains instructions and teachings on love, desire and pleasure.

And so on.

Then we have the Puranas, which are texts on various topics, usually legends and lores. A few examples are:

Brahma Purana

Vishnu Purana

Matsya Purana

Kalika Purana

Vamana Purana

Shiva Purana

Agni Purana

Bhagavata Purana

And so on. The latest Purana ever written was the Kalki Purana, which was around 400-600 years ago. It is believed that Ved Vyasa (the author* of the epic Mahabharata) composed all these Puranas as well. But many disagree.

*some believe Ved Vyas got Ganesh (the God of wisdom, success and remover of obstacles, and the son of Shiva) to write the Mahabharata for him. While some believe Ved Vyas wrote it himself.

Then we have the Sutras which are aphoristic (concise expression of a general truth/principle) texts. Some examples are:

Brahma Sutras

Yoga Sutras

Nyaya Sutras

Kama Sutra

and so on.

Then comes Itihasa (historical texts), which include the two major epics of Hinduism, namely:

Ramayana (composed by Valmiki)

Mahabharata (composed my Vyasa/Ganesh)

Read the epics I'll not spoil it for ya heehee

Now, for the Gods. Oh man there are so many, but not 33 crore (1 crore = 10 million), contrary to popular belief, but rather 33 types.

In the very beginning of the pantheon, the main Gods were:

Indra (god of thunder and rain and the King of Gods)

Agni (god of fire)

Mitra (god of friendship, sun, daylight)

Varuna (god of waters, oceans, night time)

Vayu (wind god)

Soma (wind god, also sometimes called the moon god)

Ushas (goddess of dawn)

Ashwins (twin solar gods of medicine and sons of Surya)

Surya (Sun god)

Rudra (another wind/storm god who later became another form of Shiva)

Vishnu (bro doesn't have any specific assigned field tbh)

And a few others like Brihaspati (Jupiter god), Pushan (solar god of meetings, marriages, roads and cattle), Savitr (god of speed and cosmos) and many others.

Now there was this supreme vague deity in the Vedas. It's not Brahman yet. They (for the lack of a better set of pronouns) appear later. But it is some kind of supernatural force that let to the creation of this universe, and was initially mostly referred to as Prajapati (sometimes it wasn't one being though, rather a group), from what I can infer. Some may even called em Purusha. In the link you'll also get the First Creation Myth of Hinduism.

There is also an agnostic section in the Rig Veda, known as the Nasadiya Sukta. In this specific section we know there's some form of a supreme deity, but it's very vague as to what it is.

Moving on, in around mid-Vedic period, Vishnu became heavily popular, and two new deities came into being, namely Brahma (who soon got the title of Prajapati) and Shiva (from Rudra because previously Rudra had an alternative name called Siva. So Ig that's where 'Shiva' stemmed from. But again not sure).

Vishnu and Shiva became extremely popular, to the point that they got an entire sect of people dedicated to each of em, hence Vaishnavism and Shaivism (respectively) were born. Vaishnavs heralded Vishnu to be the Supreme God, while Shaivites heralded Shiva to be the Supreme God. (Soon Harihar or Vishnu-Shiva sect also emerged where both the Gods were considered the same, and hence both were the Supreme Gods, or Supreme God, if we consider them one entity) But in the future we can see Vaishnavism took over the spotlight, and finally during the age of the epics, Sanatan Dharma was born, which eventually became synonymous with Hinduism, and now almost everyone considers Vishnu is the Supreme Lord (while many others consider it to be the Brahman, who Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma are a part of).

Vishnu actually gained the most popularity from the two epics that I've mentioned, and the first one is almost entirely surrounded around his avatar, Ram (yes he has avatars now). His most popular avatars include Ram and Krishna, and the latter has an entire organization dedicated to him (ISKON or International Society for Krishna Consciousness), and this org considers THIS avatar as the Supreme Lord, and actually considers Vishnu as his avatar, not the other way around. Krishna also appears in the famous Bhagavad Gita, which is the prime philosophy book of guidelines for the Hindus today.

Buckle up, it's about to get more confusing cuz now Vishnu is our main character for a while (bro has HEAVILY influenced this religion atp there's no turning back for him now). His evolution is so interesting cuz who'd have thought in the Rig Vedic times that he'd grow up to be THIS popular TOT. Not Indra for sure xD.

Anyhoo so about Vishnu's avatars. He has ten main avatars that appear through the cycle of Hindu Yugas (eras):

Matsya: Big fishiee. Some paintings portray him as a merman tho.

Kurma: Giant tortoise go brrr.

Varaha: A boar-man :D. Pumba's gunna vibe with him fs.

Narasimha: Very angy lion-man. Will be besties with Sekhmet in a heartbeat i just know it.

Vamana: Cute "lil" dwarf (covered the universe in three steps)

Parshurama: Appears in the Mahabharata

Rama: Main character of Ramayana (hence the name), and is the younger brother of Balarama.

Krishna: One of the main characters of the Mahabharata

Balarama/Buddha (sources vary)

Kalki (future avatar)

Now Mohini is the female form of Vishnu. Whether or not she counts as an avatar is debated. She's the goddess of beauty and a seductress that lures bad guys (mostly Asuras) and then kills them, or atleast teaches them a lesson (but she also attracts the devas sometimes. Shiva for example). So yeah.

His wife is Lakshmi, who's the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty, fertility and prosperity. She also has avatars btw.

Now the Second Creation Myth is pretty messy. Different sects have different takes on it. Usually it is considered that:

Brahma created the universe (or universes in case of the multiverse version).

Vishnu preserves the universe

Shiva destroys the universe

This process is considered cyclic and after the destruction Brahma creates a new universe, and it keeps repeating.

The origin of these three gods are also debated. Some say Brahma created Vishnu and Shiva, some say Vishnu created Brahma and Shiva, some say Lakshmi created Brahma, some say Shiva created Brahma and Vishnu. Some say Vishnu and Shiva are two of the Adityas (comprising of Indra, Agni, Mitra, Varuna, Surya etc.), and hence the children of Kashyap and Aditi.

Quick desc of Shiva is that he's the god of destruction, rebirth, time, benevolence etc. He also has avatars, plus a female form, called Shivani. His wife is Parvati, who ALSO has avatars, primarily Kali, Durya, Gauri etc. Sometimes Parvati and Lakshmi's avatars overlap. Sometimes, Vishnu and Parvati's avatars overlap (like Krishna-Kali).

He and his wife have two sons- Ganesha (god of wisdom, beginnings, remover of obstacles etc.), and Kartikeya/Murugun/Skanda (god of war). Who's the elder one is debated but usually Kartikeya is considered older.

Also Brahma's wife is Saraswati (goddess of wisdom, knowledge, music, flowing water, abundance etc.), who was born from him. Bro has faced some issues with falling for ppl (women) he has created actually lol, which is why he was cursed by Shiva and even lost one of his heads, hence ending up with four heads, when he initially had five. Check this site out as to why he was cancelled by Mahadev (another name of Shiva).

Now we have two Holy Trinities:

Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (However, Vishnu and Shiva are way closer to Indra, while Brahma's kinda like the dad of the group, yk)

Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati

Then we have the Devas and the Asuras, who can be compared to the Aesir and Vanir, in a way. The Devas are usually the benevolent one, who attained the amrit (elixir), while the Asuras are usually the antagonists. But tbh, in my opinion, both of these groups are morally grey as fock.

Parents of Devas (Rishi/sage Kashyapa and Aditi)

Parents of Asuras (Rishi/sage Kashyapa and Diti)

Diti and Aditi and daughters of king Daksha (one of the Prajapatis). The reason the Asuras turned out the way they did was cuz Diti approached Kashyap at an unholy hour, to put it shortly. Sources say she was also jealous of how Aditi's kids turned out, which might be another factor to how her kids turned out in turn (lot of 'turn's we're getting ahah)

They are described well in the Samudra Manthan, from the Vishnu Purana. Have a look.

Now see, this stark contrast between the Devas and the Asuras didn't quite exist back in the earliest Rig-Vedic period. In fact, some of the most prominent Devas were referred to as Asuras in the Rig Veda, most famously Varuna, who was actually referred to as the leader of the Asuras/Asuryas. Other Devas who got referred to as Asuras include Indra, Agni, Mitra, and a few others. So I have a feeling the concept of the modern-day Asuras didn't quite exist back then.

Now for the concepts of Hinduism, like Moksha, Dharma etc., I think I'll refer to actual practising Hindus to explain it to you, since they'd be able to explain them in a much better way. They can also add to my explanations of things, or correct me if I explained anything wrong. So I'mma tag em.

Jatayu - Day 83

Race: Avian

Arcana: Sun

Alignment: Light-Law

July 31st, 2024

Hinduism has always been a purveying theme throughout the SMT series. As one of the biggest eastern religions, and one whose practitioners spread throughout the whole world, the lack of Hindus in Japan does not take away from how common and widespread the concepts and beings that make up the sprawling tapestry of Hinduism are throughout the series. Whether it be DDS's overarching themes connecting deeply to Hinduism, to the common recurrence and respect of several Hindu deities throughout the series, I find it interesting how SMT takes so much from the faith, even to the point of pulling out far more relatively obscure figures to make up their scores of demons. Case in point, today's Demon of the Day, and one of the only commonly recurring Avians throughout the series- the nephew of Garuda and attempted savior of the goddess Sita, Jatayu. While the King of the Vultures may have perished, his memory lives on through this series... but how did he die?

Jatayu seems to originate from the Hindu Epic Ramayana, purported as being the son of Aruna and Shyeni, with Aruna being the older brother of Garuda, who I'm sure you're familiar with if you've played through the series. Growing up with an elder brother in the form of Sampati, the two birds were downright inseparable in their youth. However, this would all change one day. The two were competitive spirits, after all, and their favorite contest was to see who could fly higher than the other. Soaring up and up, the two would speed ahead of each other day after day, until, eventually, it began to grow hot. The two had entered into Sūryamaṇḍala, the mandala of the orbit of the sun! Jatayu realized too late that he was about to get Icarus'd, and, scared for his brother's safety, Sampati sped ahead of the other bird and shielded him from the sun at the consequence of losing his own wings. Sampati was sent spiraling to the ground, the two cursed to never meet each other again.

Interestingly, though, this tragic tale would only be the start of the themes of self-sacrifice common throughout Jatayu's forays in Hindu myth. This noble display was only the start of an idea brewing in the Ramayana, one of the most important (and biggest) epics in not just Hinduism, but history as a whole. The King of the Vultures' spotlight wasn't quite over yet, as his exploits would continue on into the life of Rama, specifically in Aranya Kanda, one of the many parts of this sprawling poem. Later in the bird's life, he befriended Sita, one of the many avatars of Vishnu as well as being the female protagonist of the epic. However, this would come to a head when the demon king, Ravana, had abducted her. Hearing her cries for help, Jatayu went to assist, and a tense standoff soon turned into a fight to allow her to get away. To quote,

These just and reasonable words of Jatayu but inflamed Ravana the more and fire flashed from his twenty eyes. He sprang at Jatayu in dreadful rage and a terrible fight ensued between them in that desolate forest, even as if two cloud banks or two mount Malyavans(tags) dashed against one another.

The two's battle was fierce, and surprisingly exciting- I'd honestly recommend looking at it as it's a genuinely well written fight scene- However, a demigod bird only stands a ghost's chance against the king of the demons. After struggling, he'd finally pull Sita away from the demon king, but eventually, Jatayu would be struck down. Taking the opportunity for sacrifice, likely having been inspired by his brother all those years ago, Jatayu had a final stand against Ravana, leading to an hour-long battle ultimately ending in the bird's untimely death.

Thus, the rakshasaking and the vulture-king fought with unabated fury for over an hour ; at the end of which, Ravana profited by a chapce to hew off with his sharp sword the pinions and feet of Jatayu, who fought so nobly for his master Raghuveera. And the lord of the vultures fell to the earth in the agonies of death.

However, even in his death, as he lay nearing his end, he took the time to explain the situation to the then-arriving Rama, as the King of the Demons had kidnapped Sita again already. His sacrifice to uphold Dharma and to protect Sita may have failed, but he still took his last breaths to spite Ravana by weakening the king and giving Rama the information he needed. The recurring themes of selflessness and sacrifice in Jatayu's appearances are incredibly interesting to me, especially given his connection to vultures, a bird which most would consider very selfish. Perhaps, without Jatayu around, they became a far less proud race...? I dunno, I'm just spitballing. Interestingly, something I found in a post going over the story of Jatayu in great depth seems to indicate a greater spiritual significance to birds in general, and perhaps, Jatayu's death may have spelled the end for Ravana as a whole. To quote, as this is a line from the epic,

You will find no rest for the long years of Eternity, for you killed a bird in love and unsuspecting.

In honor of Jatayu, a great sculpture was erected in the Indian state of Kerala, at Jatayu Earth Center, named so after the bird himself. The massive sculpture is the largest bird-based piece of art in the world, showing the significance of the great King of Vultures in both history and mythology.

As for the design in SMT, Jatayu takes the name of King of the Vultures way more literally than most other depictions- the golden crown seems to reflect royalty, and the fur coat around the neck may be an allusion to several depictions of Jatayu also resembling eagles. However, I'm completely unsure as to where the lizard tail came from, as with the overall color palette- sure, it looks nice and intimidating, but for such a benevolent bird, isn't it weird? Whatever, I'm sure someone out there can find connections that I'm just not seeing. I will say, though, it is a very well done design, and I appreciate the fact that it hasn't changed after all the years it's existed in the series. Kinda like Cerberus, it might be a callback, but I'm unsure. Overall, though, I wasn't expecting to get so oddly attached to the vulture king, but his kind ways and tragic patterns of sacrifice certainly make him a surprise stick-out.

Now stop ambushing me in V. Please. I stole your eggs ONCE, JATAYU. PLE-

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: FRONT OF THAILAND'S PALACE, EVENING 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌: NOI JIRAYU CHAROENSUK 𝐓𝐎: QUEEN ARANYA CHAKRI ( @flcralhaze )

it's later in the day that noi finds the right time to approach the queen. he's extra careful about the whole ordeal, both about her availability, as well as making sure no one sees him talking so closely with the thai royals. it is a tightrope that he is walking on, and there is even a part of his mind that tells him he should maybe wait a few days longer. however, the part that knows aranya to be so close and wishes to see his dear friend again, wins over. so, he makes his way, as quiet as possible, to the miniature castle with their flag on it. hides between one of the pillars near the doorway, long enough that he hears the guards approach. slowly, with his hands held up, he takes a step forward. "your majesty." to make himself known, accompanied by a bow. his phin instrument is hanging off his shoulders on his back, though he thinks thai soldiers will know what it is, and won't mistake it for anything dangerous. a gentle smile pulls the ends of his lips upwards, one that he tries to push down for now. they are still out in the open. "would you have some time for a performance? i have been sent to entertain you for the evening." which is, a load of lies, and noi is sure aranya will pick up on it. once they are in private, he will get to speak much more freely, and he is truly looking forward to catching up about everything.

Aranya, Penny and Fia are sometimes together and talk about girly things, but the discussions last so long that she ends up on their monster forms at the end.

Commission drawn by Lobizon

[lichtundschattens]

to: @ofsvnshine's zhou daiyu

There had been whispers... murmurs of a skirmish that had unfolded not long ago. The memory of it still burned in Noctis's mind, the moment when Aranya had delivered the news. Both of them had been consumed by rage. A small ember had ignited within him, growing ever brighter the more he dwelled on it. Silver hues traced over the bruises that tinted Daiyu's perfect skin, the fire within him flaring ever so brightly. The thought of someone else daring to harm his lover sent a surge of fury through him. He tightened his jaw, letting out a heavy sigh, thick with frustration.

"So it’s true," he murmured at last, his voice strained and nearly breathless. His hand moved forward, his slender fingers grazing a bruise with the gentlest touch, as if fearing to cause him more pain. He could feel it—the way his anger threatened to overtake his reason, his logic slipping away in the face of his emotions.

"If you aren't going to do something about this, then I will. This cannot go without consequences, Daiyu."

Interesting article about a man who made it his mission to save a forest from coal development and succeeded

[rhapsodiq]

from: SIWOO, the fool to: ARANYA, the resurrected — ( @gravefed )

it isn't often that siwoo has anything to do with the government — he'd say he is a pretty law-abiding citizen, he pays his taxes on time, he doesn't bother his neighbors, makes sure to park his car in the allotted parking spaces, and so on, so on. hence, all those years ago, the first time fbi had an investigation that was related to stoneage and they needed his help, he was a little... nervous about it. however, what came out of it was not only the case closed and shut with good results, but also a very nice friendship. since then, there have been a few times here again that aranya and siwoo met on official business ( they needed intel from the stoneage, stoneage assigned him ) — but mostly they hung out as friends every once in a while instead. moments of sharing drinks at a coffee shop, trying out a new restaurant that opened downtown, texting her about a book siwoo was sure she would like. which is why now, when he sees her on the ground floor of the company, the scientist automatically assumes it's for a case, although he'd much prefer to try out the new matcha on the street with her instead. "aranya! how have you been?" a wide smile spreads across his face, and he rushes towards her at the sight. "what brings you hear? is it official business?"

location: yamato's apartment, early evening. it's odd to know someone only through another person, as simply an extension of a vague summation of parts rather than someone fully formed. this is how donovan feels about yamato - of course, arry has mentioned him a few times before, the one who keeps her heart. donnie feels as if he needs a full picture, especially as he's tethered himself to her. that perhaps the dogs ravenous way of destroying whatever toy's placed in-front of his cage should extend further than aranya. he knocks on the apartment door, hands in the pockets of a dark jean jacket that's a little rough around the edges, though the length of the body indicates that it's a women's - probably stolen. the moment the door opens, donovan begins speaking in an overly casual and overly fast manner of; "hey there, you don't know me or maybe you do, i don't know if arry has ever mentioned me, my name's donovan but everyone just calls me donnie. thought i'd come say hey 'cause you're kind of a big deal, and i'm kind of a big deal, and i thought it'd probably benefit everyone if we were on the same page,"

peace talks have seemingly gone on for endless days if you ask those simply waiting about. invited for the grand gesture but turned to dive into what highgarden has to offer to avoid dying of boredom. the southern king showboats to his greatest, pandering to those he can and taking up all of the other monarchs' time as much as he's able. they indulge him, but at what cost?

as the week comes to a close, many are hopeful the talks have gone well and they might see respite from this forced visit to the reach's capitol.

but you know what they say about wishful thinking...

most of our nobility and their staff are simply indulging in highgarden when suddenly troops storm from every space. fear rises, screams are heard, and questions are yelled as the troops bar everyone in highgarden where they are found in that moment.

the largest question circulates, what in the hell is going on?

hello demons ! it is time for another chaos drop. as you can see southern knights have flooded highgarden and barred everyone where they were found. there are no answers being offered, simply guards refusing to budge.

this plot drop does not go into affect IC until monday, we will make a post from the main when you can begin threads revolving it.

to avoid characters being stranded alone, we are offering the following locations for people to be trapped in: highgarden markets, the grand ballroom (being used as a giant dining room), the largest private garden of the tyrell family, or within the hedge maze.

please send in to the main what characters will be in what location by monday, aug 21. after this we will assign who is left at random and dm you with the results. please be sure to spread your muses around so each location has a diverse group of writers. multiple muses in one space are allowed for those who have more than 4 characters.

you can only thread with the people who are trapped with your character, so be mindful of the list and be sure you are responding to opens accordingly.

you are very much welcome to still continue your older threads.

as usual if you have questions, just ask !
