In the current demo such as it is after trying all the different classes, Archor's character sorta comes across as bitter, and even slightly domineering. From the MC's own perspective, Archor did not seem all that willing to sincerely forgive Iovis, and in the library he seemed to be a bit of a steam roller dragging Asara and MC along without much thought to Asara's stress levels. Kids are kids, so he can grow out of it, but so far the only impression I have is "Child, do you need a hug?"

1. I am so sorry I never saw this until now??? omg2. Archor is very enthusiastic and passionate about his own...passions, and gets some pretty extreme tunnel-vision when it comes to them.  At this stage in his life, he’s working very hard to get into good history programs, prove himself worthy as an archivist candidate for future apprenticeships, etc, as that’s what he’s most passionate about.  He’s not very good at thinking about others’ feelings when he gets in that state.

Venti - Snapped - Angst/Practice

au: [modern] venti's famous, known throughout teyvat for his music. until one day he disappears off of every form of internet there is. 

only to reappear on the news, with the headline: ' Online Star: Barbatos, also known as Venti Dei, son of renowned Actor Carmen Dei, found guilty of mass murder'

extras: implied xiaoven, venti's a killer -- what do you expect, cliffhanger

tws: mentions of death, blood, murder, mentions of police brutality, mentions of hostage situations,

----

[no pov]

lumine sighed, as aether sat next to her. as promised by kazuha, they'd been sent the recording of the news report on venti. 

as their tv flickered, they tuned in, intently listening.

----

"today, we're having venti dei on live, to react to comments from friends, family, and previous fans." the first archor spoke, her namecard flashing on screen to show caren. 

the second one spoke, his namecard showing dave. "starting us off, what triggered the murders? you've already explained you would tell us."

"... i was, although not publicly, in a relationship. he, who i'll call x, died in an unfortunate accident."

"and how did this x die?"

"he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. remember, before i disappeared, that one hostage situation at the bank, where the police shot wildly?"

"yes, where are you going with this?" caren asked, completely clueless.

"he was the second shot, and the first death that day, he was shot in the chest, and it had hit his lung. they didn't get the situation over in time to save him."

"what were your motivations, other than this x's death?"

"hundreds of innocent people died to the police."

there was a break in the interview, before it cut back in. clearly, kazuha had done some editing.

"how did you chose your victims?" dave asked, as he blinked.

"oh, that was simple. i'd figure out who had died in the hands of the police, and then kill the officer that murdered the innocent, simple."

"why don't we get into the questions we were asked on twitter, to ask you?"

"alright."

"starting us off with one by, 'ae.lum' the two of them said; we can't believe this, you played us like a fiddle!"

"... fiddle's are a more difficult instrument, i simply played you like my favourite instrument, the lyre. though that is also quite difficult. i do apologize though, we were quite close before this."

"you knew them?"

"well, they were close friends of x and i... ae was our best man, i'll tell you that."

venti's cam had a soft smile, one of reminiscing. 

"continuing on, this one from someone who asked to remain anonymous, he states a simple, why?"

"... i know who this is from, and i'm sorry... you and i both cared for x deeply, but i had snapped. you know of what happened before, with /him/..."

"him?"

"something personal, and not tied to the case."

"are you sure?"

"ask the commenter."

caren nodded, before smiling. 

"this one is from another who asked to stay anonymous. it's a simple i'm alive, and we believe it is one of the survivors of the attacks."

"it's not. and i-" venti cuts himself off, turning away from the camera.

"i need a moment to compose myself..."

----

aether and lumine return an hour later to their couch to finish the recording. they had some business to attend to, so they decided to watch the last five minutes when they returned.

----

"i'm fine now... the person that had commented that is x... and i think I've fucked up beyond belief." 

"how did you know?"

"the punctuation, lack of capitalization and the profile image. i know how my... i'd assume we no longer are together, but i'd know my husband."

the footage cuts off there, as venti snapped, punching the camera. 

----

lumine stares at the screen in shock, as aether stands. 

"xi- he's alive...?"

"of course he is... he probably wasn't allowed to return to his old life. he was obviously a target..."

"and they couldn't tell venti, that's jus-"

"... as much as i hate to say it, ae, venti was justified in his actions."

"you aren't saying that w-"

"we're bailing him out! he has a chance of parole, since he is carmen's son, and we're rich!"

"fine. and next?"

"we're finding his husband, of course."

"lu, you're insane, but let's do it!"

Reposted from @gingerdsnapped this is the art done for my story Empress of the World — a Valyria never fell AU in which the Targs managed to avoid the Doom of Valyria and rose as Emperors of the Free-Hold with JonSa as main pairing inspired by the real-life love stories of some of my favorite historical couples.

You can find it here if you haven’t read it already and wish to: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35105356

The couples that have inspired this are many, in chronological — kind of — order:

Octavian Augustus and his wife Livia

Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville

Henry VII and Elizabeth of York

Suleyman and Hürrem Sultan

Ahmed and Kösem Sultan

Now onto the art

A magnificent cover for the story in which it shows a bit of Jaehaerys and Sansa in their various environment as their love story will span many years and leagues and leagues. As they will be based off in Valyria — the Rome/Istambul of Valyria — but their story will carry them in the North — west of Valyria — and against the Yi’Tis — east — but the love will remain the same.

The three women of the dynasty — barred from Sansa who gets her own piece — who are from left to the right Rhaenys in her sun-crown with the Targaryen colors and the proper ceremonial tint on her eyes and lips, princess of Valyria half-sister to Emperor Jaehaerys and his Chief Advisor; Lyanna lady mother of the Empire, mother of Jaehaerys born Lyanna Karstark who fled the North and a marriage to the second prince of the North and ended up being the concubine of Jaehaerys’ father and the mother of the new emperor with her tunic of Karstark colors and the ceremonial tint with her spiked crown; and — last to the left — Daenerys princess of Valyria and Lady of the province of Pentos, aunt of the Emperor and his previous lover, spurned by his new love for the northern girl with her Valyrian red and black attire and her dragon styled crown. This is inspired by the ceremonial coronation of Jaehaerys III after the end of the civil war caused by Viserys attempt to claim the throne from Jaehaerys.

Sansa of House Stark, princess in the North, daughter of king Eddard Stark and queen Catelyn of House Tully, claimant to the Northern crown.

Only surviving child of the royal couple after the coup that has dethroned House Stark by the hand of House Bolton — Roose Bolton was spurned by Ned refusal to marry one of his daughters preferably Sansa to Roose only remaining son, the bastard Ramsay — and House Karstark spurned after king Eddard chose a southern over another daughter of House Karstark and refused a possible marriage between their Houses after that. Sansa fled Winterfell — the burned bodies of her younger brothers still alive in her mind — and found refuge on Bear Island hiding in plain sight by dyeing her hair dark. Captured by a raid she finds herself in Valyria and miraculously at the vok of the Emperor where she catches his gaze and attention, as well as love.

This piece magnificently encapsulate how Sansa will have to navigate being still the rightful claimant to the Northern crown she means to restore and being part of the Valyrian dynasty with the birth of her children.

Her mantra — as long as I know who I am I cannot be broken — keeping her strong through all she had to endure.

Sansa in Valyria as the Favorite of the Emperor and the only woman called to dēmalion — a stay of three months into the Emperor chambers — wearing the royal blue her mother favored during her tenure as Queen consort in the North. The dragon behind her I like to think is Maelys — Jaehaerys’ century old, enormous dragon — and behind her a sight of Valyria by night.

Jaehaerys receives the news of his father’s death at the banks of the Bloody Lake and is posed in front of a choice, accept the ruler ship and the sword of the Lord of the World claiming the throne as the prime minister — prime archor Gael — asks of him; or bend the knee to the only other claimant, his uncle Viserys in Pentos.

On the morrow of the day passed, just after the morning meal, his Imperial Majesty, the Lord of the World, has left this mortal plane to become one with blood, one with fire and one with smoke.

I beseech you, my prince, to come to the capital immediately to seize the throne rightfully yours before treachery spreads and take your post as Lord of the World.

The flame is extinguished, may the embers take aflame again from the ashes.

Gael Leamyor prime achor of Valyria

— Empress of the World, prologue

The magnificent background is to be the Bloody Lake near Tyra, a place with salted shore and blood-red waters due the poisonous algae, near the Sunrise Dorsal, where there are the Fourteen Flames from which by canon the Valyrian have found the dragons.

Sansa Stark, Favorite of the Emperor even in the lands of dragons does not forget who she is.

I look like a woman — she thinks — like mother and quite not yet. There a softness in my eyes, which is all father. They are still alive — she decides — on my face. They are still alive as I am.

The shape of her mouth reminds her of Robb — he had a beautiful smile — she thinks as she smiles softly at her own reflection. And the sharpness of her cheekbones and nose reminds her of Arya — she would’ve grown to be beautiful in her own way, so strong and determined — the unruliness of the red baby-hair around her forehead and nape of her neck are all Rickon.

And her littlest brother laughter fills her mind and squeezes her heart.

And the cyan of her eyes, not as intense blue as her mothers, and yet not steel, but an icy cyan is all Brandon. Brandon’s eyes were the same shade of in-between the blue of Robb and Rickon and mother’s eyes and the silverly steel of her father’s and Arya’s.

They are still alive — she repeats to herself — on my face. In my heart. And one day — she hopes — in the fruit of my womb.

— Empress of the World, chapter VI

And after that another solo piece, this one for Lyanna, mother of the Emperor.

Born Lyanna Karstark she fled the North to avoid an unwanted marriage at age fourteen/fifteen. Her family to avoid insult declared her dead due the sweats and offered another bride to the prince, but he in the meantime had become the prime heir to the crown and married a girl from the South. The Karstark never forgave her the insult that caused them to the point that when Lyanna who had become a mother to Jaehaerys — after having become the new concubine of Emperor Rhaegar — had reached out to them they sent her one of her dresses bloody and tore and told her she was dead to them. Her only purpose in her life is defending her son from foes and false allies alike, ready to do all that it takes to keep him safe.

Inspired by this passage:

He cups Sansa’s chin in his hand “Do not worry about it, ñuha jelevre— he tells her gently — my mother is only protective of me. A mother won’t ask questions when her cub is in need of protection in her mind, she will just bite. Give her time, she will come to love you”

Sansa has tears shining in her eyes and Jaehaerys knows she is thinking of her mother. He knows her mother caught bare-handed a valyrian steel dagger to protect her second son as he laid between life and death, of how she died trying to protect her firstborn son giving her life for his. Knows how much she misses her.

“What if she doesn’t?” she murmurs “sometimes I feel so alone” she tells him softly. And Jaehaerys presses a kiss to her forehead and her eyelids.

“You’ll still have me — he tells her — am I not enough?” he asks her and Sansa breaks the wall in between them and embraces him, fitting her face next to him and nuzzling his cheek with hers, her lithe body pressed against his.

“You’re more than enough” she murmurs against his ear, Jaehaerys holds her closer still to his body “you’ll have to bear a bit with me — she says — you’re not with me always, when you’re away from my side I feel so alone” she tells him.

— Empress of the World, chapter V

A moment of peace between Jaehaerys and Sansa as they discuss what is to come in the privacy of the Emperor’s chambers in between the sheets — pillow talk with a side of politics — and they share their love and insecurities. Notice the detail of the ring Sansa wears because it is extremely important and well done!

And last but not least — the most detail impressive — of this collection, the art dedicated to the last update I made, yesterday.

Pregnant Sansa with the gift her Emperor has sent for, from the North. Inspired by this passage and the rest of chapter IX:

Torches litters the path to it, bathing the whole courtyard and garden in a golden and orange light.

The bark of the tree is white and veined of grey and frost blue, there is a dark, seeping, red blood ember, viscous and ruby of colour, shining in the night light, the roots are encapsulated in the earth, others are still standing out gathered in a tangle of branches as white as milk so intricate that it seems as dark as darkness and the branches, slender and curved upward are crowned by fronds of vibrant blood red leafs; the face carved into the bark is stern and the ember seeps from its downturned mouth and eyes as if blood oozing from eyes and lips of a dying man.

[…]

“You told of how your father built a small sept so that your mother may have prayed to her Gods — he tells her — and I thought I would’ve have wished for my father to do something similar for my mother” he adds, he brings her hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to her knuckles “so, I decided that since I am the lord of the World now, I could very well find a way to recreate a Godswood for my woman; so that she and my mother may pray to their Tree Gods like their fathers before them”

— Empress of the World, chapter IX

I cannot say thank you enough to @gingerdsnapped for the amazing work she did — some even very short notice like this last piece of Sansa and the Heart Tree — I feel so very blessed! I will treasure this collection of pieces for my fic! Thank you so very much to have made come alive in such a fine way my story, everything about it — the dresses and the makeup yeah I am particular about both as well as Jaehaerys and his attires and whole demeanor — I am so happy because this vibrant world that existed only in my mind before now has a real artistic form and I am very grateful!

@annastormfly picked a chocolate milkshake, then the door bell rang...

You received a letter from Venti..!

You opened the letter and got intrigued by the beautiful handwriting that was filled upon the letter you received...

Hi fellow traveler! You're probably wondering why am I writing a letter to you ...riigggghttt?ahaha~ well I do have something to tell you and that it's kinda hard to say it right in front of your face which is rare for me! Plus- you seem kinda tired and busy these days so just lay down and cherish this moment traveler!

I saw you dealing with everyone's problems... That's awesome yknow? If it's as me over there, I wouldn't help out only if they give me some good ol' cider or smth, ehehe you won't believe me saying that but you're super cool traveler~

But yknow, every busy person needs some rest, yes yes I should've said this to Jean but she won't listen ! At least you would try resting, ... Right? Ahaha~ so you're free to come hangout with me anytime! It might not be fun but hey you would never know fufu

That reminds me.., traveler, I got a gift for you! I wrote a poem for me to sing to! I'll write down the lyrics here for you to have a closer look at the meaning won't ya?

It must be hilarious,

For a god to fall in love.

I wonder how should the feelings express ,

If oneself doesn't make a move ?

So if wrote through words and paper,

To cover the embarrassment of an archor.

Will she receive my favor ,

Or will she push it away? (Wrote by myself so don't ever ask me to put credits)

Well, there's that! Hmm fun writing to you! Remember that you can always come hangout with me <3 seeya!

Traveler reaction

Paimon: huhhhhh? Paimon doesn't really understand that poem but it seems like a love song! Ahaha~ that's cheesy ! Wait- why is your face that red ?!

Y/N: oh- nothing ~

Paimon: umm okay..? Maybe we should compose back that letter as reply? Go on go on

Bonus[ venti reaction ]

After writing out the letter, he immediately hide his face behind his handpalms, trying to hide his embarrassment and nervousness. How is he supposed to send that out? That's so obvious!

Such a rare opportunity to see venti acting flustered, hopefully no one is around.

He looked to the window that stays beside him, looking out of it , watching the birds soar to the sky along with another butterfly

" it feels just like us ehehe~"

[wickedbeeao3]

Hi author!

Number 10 for the ask game if it's okay by you!

Hi dear! You haven't specified a character, so I went freely and added various bits.

If I ever write a Halloween special, this is the basic structure that I would follow.

10- NIGHTFALL

Grim knows dangerous. Food is usually not dangerous, but food is, because it means they all must stay, because Grim (and Yuu and Ace and Deuce and Jack and Epel) sampled the food and the food was safe, but the food is a trap and now they must stay. Malicious ghosts and he didn't understand at first but he gets it now. No one can cross the threshold back. They must party forever. At least the food is good.

___

Nightfall comes and Charlotte can't find Yuu. Can't find Ace and Deuce either, and calling their phones doesn't work. Out of area. It would be fine, if this wasn't Halloween. Halloween doesn't last from October 31th to midnight. Halloween lasts from sunset to sunrise. And dangerous things walk the veil. She sends messages to Cater and Lilia asking for help and wanders the town, searching relentless like the ghost bride she is dressed as.

___

"Any new information?" Yuu asks, half-hoping and dreading the answer. This is a bad situation. Never again they are going to a stranger's party and they will loudly and absurdly remind Ace and Grim about it. "Nothing. They just laughs at our faces." Jack clenches his first. "Tch, that makes me so goddamn pissed!" Epel makes a face. "One of 'em pinched my cheeks and cooed. Damned these ghosts, I ain't a cute lil'girl!" His accent slipped through, none of the politeness and standard speech he used was present. "...they touched you?" "...shit, Yuu is making the thinking face." Deuce was already in. He trusted that Goldie could find a way out. "What's the plan?" "We are going to beat up a lot of people."

___

A hand touches her shoulder and Charlotte elbows them on her reflex. They grab her limb and her other arm is already in motion before she registers who is it. It is easier to redirect the movement then stop it. "Ah, Princesse Chanteuse, fantastique! Fast reflexes, you were ready to fight even if it dirtied your white clothes!" "Rook-san. I'm occupied at the moment." She grits between her teeth. "I can't always stop myself, so it is best that you don't touch me again." The man has the audacity to smile at her. "Yes, I noticed that you were looking for your missing dorm mates. I have come to offer my services." He bows at her, full of theatrics, cape swaying in the wind. Pomefiore did well with their vampire theme. "And why would you do that? Apologies for my bluntness, but we are not friends." "Ah, but we have shared objectives. Have you seen Monsieur Crabapple in your wandering?" Crabapple...? Epel? He was lost too? "I see. Very well, let's join forces."

___

"Someone with a claim to us?" "That's what the ghosts said." "And they say they've a claim to us 'cause we ate their food. No one 'as a goddamn claim to me! I ain't a damn cow!" "...Grim is a cat isn't he?" "He isn't a cat per se, but you have a point. GRIM!"

___ The trail that Rook finds brings them to the forest. Of course it does. ___

"Okay, that didn't work. Anyone has another idea?" "We try to break the barrier around us." "Magic isn't working." "I have talked to senpai after what happened and searched it on my own... if we destroy the physical part archoring the barrier we can de-estabilize it." "Got it, let's go." . . . The barrier archors are outside the barrier. Goddamn.

___

Of course it is a ballroom. Of course. At least they found them. And hey if there is anyone that has a claim to every student in Night Raven it is a prefect and staff members.

___ Rook crosses the barrier, carrying Epel on his back - dorm mates have a claim to dorm mates and Rook is his damn vice-leader - but when he tries to return, the barrier blocks his path. A ghost on their side laughs. "The living can only go and come one time." They turn malicious eyes to Charlotte. "So, little ghost bride, which one will you chose to spend time forever and which one will you leave for us?" Charlotte snaps. Her slap is strong enough to bring the ghost to the ground and all she answers is a snarl. She is getting everyone home. ___ "Senpai, it's..." "I was ready to carry everyone on my goddamn back, Rook would help with Jack - because you are built like a brick wall, sorry-" Jack snorts. "It's fine." The image would be funny, him being carried by someone small and pudgy like Charlotte-senpai, if the situation wasn't tragic. "-and there is no way that I am giving up. Rook has to be calling for reinforcements, so don't lose hope just yet." "That's good to hear, but do you have a plan, Charlotte-senpau?" "If I thought it would have a 100% chance of working, I would be putting everyone on the curtains and pulling you along. The problem is that I cross first." "...you are saying we need a mail cart." "Yes Deuce, that's exactly what I need. Two, in fact."

___

It is five of the morning but not morning proper, and Trey brings with him Cater and Riddle. Well thought out logistics is for these that slept and not for these close to twenty four hours awake. Rook is debriefing the three of them on the situation - short, but it is best that everyone is on the same page - when two shoddy wooden carts cross the barrier, the students on them and Charlotte bringing the rear. Charlotte seems equally startled in seeing them, her original dress and veil no way in sight, instead with a multitude of different and mismatched clothes. Epel, who has been cheerfully trying to weaken the barrier, is called back. "Princesse Chanteuse, c'est magnifique! You succeeded in rescuing our juniors! Ah, how I wish I was there to watch this blooming adventure." Riddle is trying to needle out the story from Ace and Deuce, and Jack carries Grim, glad to do something. Cooperating with people is not his type, but this once he can accept it. Yuu is just really glad that the plan worked. No more following weird invitations, ever.

[tomurasprincess]

Hmm. “Who do I remember you as?”

For me I’d have to say as the writer that made the Lov (plus Hawks and sometimes Bakugou) Camboy Au. I usually remember the funny headcannons (like tormenting the archor, Compress being extra about Dabi and Shiggy’s set up, chat requesting that the cam crew peg a nomu, or Reader getting tired of using cheap makeup).

It’s also because it’s something you let us anons and users help world-build through our asks. You always find a way to incorporate our asks into the AU whether it be crack/comical HC or super sexual HC. Plus it’s always nice and heartwarming (weirdly enough) when creators can have fun and interact with their followers.

I guess because of how inclusive you’ve made it you’ve made it a classic bingeworthy read and something that we can come back to when we need a good laugh or indulge in our thirst. A “degenerate’s paradise” to summarize it in a nutshell. 😂

Anyways, that’s my opinion and explaination on how I remember you as. It’s kinda long and cheesy explaination but it’s the truth. 😅😂

-👉❤️👈

The camboy AU is honestly a perfect example of why I love Tumblr so much and still prefer it over places like AO3. You guys all coming together to expand the AU and come up with both smutty and hilarious bits was amazing to watch, and the AU wouldn’t be nearly as detailed without all of you! And I absolutely love interacting with all of you. 

I started to have so much more fun with my blog once I began talking with you guys, interacting more, and showing off more of my personality instead of just posting fics and then dipping. You guys have kept me sane (well uhh, as sane as I can be at least).

And I do not mind long OR cheesy, this was a comment that really touched me and I thank you for sending it to me 😂

BTW, hope you don’t mind but I totally want to use Degenerate’s Paradise for my blog title now. 👀

what do you remember me by?

[afraidofmonsters-headcanons]

At the “ 1/2 Katie Killjoy was once part of a popular news channel but was always overshadowed by her news archoring partner/significant other at the time “-

Your second ask didn’t go through! Feel free to resend it!

[lairofsentinel]

Ok., I'm back.

I've been… drowning myself into Mass Effect Andromeda. And man, it's a painful experience. I don't have the minimun requirements, mostly in my graphic card. :( I have a nvidia gt520 of 1 gb. The minimun required is around gt 700 with 2 gb. I have to play in narrative difficult :(. It's not much of a challenge, but when the encounter is tough (meaning, a lot of objects around and a lot of enemies) my screen freezes sometimes :(. I cry so much for this. I want a new computer T_T.

Even playing it in the lowest quality I can't do it in a smooth way. I played all the mass effect series in the hardest mode T_T to enjoy the adrenaline, but I CANT NOW T_T. It's so sad that they can't make a game for low spec. computers, with the same tech that Mass Effect 2. I don't know, but that game looked marvellous and so easy to deal with in most computers… meh.

I'm playing MEA most of the time with 5 fps. Horrible, because I can't see many animations, and when chars speaks, they desynchronizes with the sound, so … you finished listening Jaarl but then, his animation goes sloooooowly in the middle. Sad, Sad. And man, Havarl is just madness… with all that vegetation. I can heard my computer swearing at me.

I hope some day I will buy a better computer, or upgrade this one to replay this game.

Spoilers Ahead

About the game and my impressions.

So far I've gone, I spent like 50 hours in this painful experience.

Got 100% viability of Eros, Havarl and Voeld, and now I've visited Aya to talk with people around and be bbf with Evfra, but senpai is so mistrustful haha.

Fist the first: who the fucking shit suggested to give us a fucking Mako?? I lose so much time trying to go somewhere with this shitty vehicle with crazy directions and being a total bullshit to climb a land a bit steep. Argh!!!. I’m so angry with this shit. More considering you can’t go, like in DAI, without the fucking horse and enjoy the view and the banter while walking. No, you have ice or radiation AND lag as fuck to worry about. Meh.

About companions?. Hey, I knew already who were going to be of my like: Jaal and Vetra. Vetra is just so… awww. The way she open her … thigns beside her jaw. Little precious badass Vetra. **Smooch**.

I don't get along much with the humans. Cora reminds me soooo much of Casandra and the disappointment of coding a straight char as a lesbian. She even has hard crushes on the Asari, but hey… no girls. When Asari are… you know, blue women.

Gil is weird. I don't know if I like him or not. Most of the time I don't get what he is talking about. But I truly love his interaction with Kallos. I think that, being in my Pathfinder's shoes, I would stress a lot more about those two, because this is not only theoretical disagreement. Man, Gil makes modifications in the core of the ship and then Kallos undoes that…. That's pretty dangerous!!! fuckers. Stop playing with our ship like kindergarten children!.

Liam is another char I don't know much what he talks about. He is specialist in crisis, and I thought it was something related to crisis in battlefield. I didn’t see any of that. Then I thought he was kind of psychologist working with the stress of the crew, which could make sense with all his suggestions to make the crew work in a smooth way… but man, he is more stressed than anyone else – well, probably not as much as Gil -

Peebe is a meh so far. I'm a bit tired of Asadi, I guess.  I wanted Liara's father. A Half-krogan Asadi would be much better.

Vetra, I love her. I'm waiting for Reyes to check, otherwise, I will go with Vetra. She got my real-life-heart already.

:( Jaal being straight is another disappointment. Well, not much. I mean, I usually don't like to romance Aliens. It feels weird to me. Like… I love Vetra but… gurl, I can't caress you, that exoskeleton of you is so turning off, lol. Plus, you may give me a deadly allergic reaction. Less tempting.

But well, Jaal should be bisexual. I mean, all aliens willing to go into a relationship with a human should be, because as I said before, if you are into aliens, what the fuck bothers you a gender that may not follow your species' rules?. Gender across species is completely useless, because culturally and socially, different species have different perceptions. But well, there you got your highly repulsion towards gay relationships. Mass effect has been always known by that. (cough cough, ME1, ME2, and barely fixed in ME3)

Jaal being so open and free with emotions could be a nice thing to see in a gay relationship. It would be fresh air.

Suvi makes me irk. This is completely biased of my part, I know, but man… I detest creationists. One thing is to believe in something, even though you respect science. Another thing is mixing both just to fit your beliefs (something that nowadays it's such a sensitive topic). Like creationists.  

They lack of real understandment of how science works and how evolutions works. And the worst of it is the fact that she is a scientist. Not that I never heard about scientists with beliefs. I know a bunch of them, but they do not go to say this thing of “God is who created everything. I explain him because everything is so perfect, and perfection can't exist without a creator”. Like.. no. First, what we know of the world is that clearly it's not perfect. (Check DeGrasse Taylor's video on youtube talking about the stupid design of the life. It's a gem.) The good things that we see today it did it ONLY through natural process: if you can survive, you sum points into the evolution scale. You can't survive?, die. Stop  spreading your failed genes. Simple as that. Nothing of “perfection” exists here. It's basically “natural eugenics”.

But well, probably some people would like her. I feel so lack of options when talking with Suvi that I can't deal with her. Like… c'mon, I've got this conversation thousand of times, and my arguments are not even here to choose!!. hahaha. So annoying I am.

Plus, Bioware is always so worried about the “butch lesbian” stereotype, but they give a fuck about the “mystical cherry lipstick lesbian” stereotype. PFFFFFT. Another lesbian char that disappoints me :( so far. Beside, extra negativity to her because she lags like hell when I talk to her… it seems her hair has a lot of rending and my computer hates her. Haha.

Drack is so lovely. I loved 2 krogans in ME series: Wrex and this one. Besides, I feel that Drack allows you to explore a nice bound that we don't see much in videogames: the grandpa/granddaughter relationship. I still don't know how his loyal mission goes, but.. he is so wise and… you can feel his years in the way he speaks, but also that gentleness that comes from a grandparent. I love him.

Man, about the ketts and the remmants. I don't know. I feel everything is reapers.

The ketts are like a cult to reapers, to that “superior one” that the Archor itself has to follow. It seems.

Remmants looks like ancient AI, in vaults UNDER the ground. This sounds to me “the seed we planted to harvest later”. Fucking reapers. There are also many suggestion all along the game related to “how weird people felt” once they were attacked by remmants. Like…. Indoctrination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (playing a prequel makes you play it so full of biases t.t)

Also, Angara are SO fucking similar to Prothean. I wonder if they are not protheans that evolved in another way in Havarl. They even have prothean's sculptures all over the planet… like.. please, bring Liara here, I need to talk to her about this!.

And you also saw that thing of “remembering past lives”. This is the object that Javik used to have in his room, when he asks you what you would do if you would see all the past times, the dead people alive, the old ancient skies, all again but then, returning to reality, you would be shocked by it, because all that is gone. That's exactly what that “family heirloom” does. I'm totally convinced angara ARE protheans. A different evolved branch though.

Also… did you see that fucked reaper in Eos?. The one that came up from the ground?. Fuck shit. I put s settlement in Eos, as the game forces you, but now I regret it. That fucking reaper asshole is orbiting around Eos, SCANNING it!!! WTF!!!!

But well, I will continue playing all these days ahead and keep sharing my thoughts about this.

I need to find Reyes before Vetra got me completely (I want to see if Reyes is worthy a shot, probably I won't replay this game until I have a proper computer because lag is super painful), and I have no idea when or where I will find him.

I'm still in the quest of bringing hope to the Angara and working most of the time in 100% viability in the planets I can land. I've just  been allowed to go into Aya because I saves Moshae.

I hate to work (in real life lol) and break my beautiful daydream of playing without stop.  Haha.

I will sleep so bad these days.

I choose Archor without realizing he was deaf and started laughing bc im deaf as well. We’d be a disaster together. *people screaming around them* ‘Hey do you hear something?’ ‘No do you?’ ‘Nope.’ *continues walking unaware*

out here livin your best life, blissfully unaware of the world falling apart around you

Another cutesy one: MC asks the ros to hold something, and when they say yes, MC holds their hand.

Archor, Iovis, and Nanta are all giddy and smiley about it.

Rahul and Runa both are like “oh shit that was smooth” and impressed, though they’ll tell you how cheesy that was.

[herculeangame]

hey i love herculean and it's one of the wips i'm most excited about! what are everyone's bad habits?

oh wow thank you!!

Akari: acting/speaking without thinking

Asara: staying quiet when he’s upset/uncomfortable/etc

Archor: biting off more than he can chew--figuratively speaking lol

Iovis: isolating themself when things get rough also biting their nails 

Rahul: very touchy-feely, so he’ll always act on that without thinking or asking, only remembering as an afterthought a lot of time

Runa: very persuasive, and often uses that in a bit of a manipulative sense

[herculeangame]

Hey there, I really adore the prologue so far!! Seeing Asara and Archor was really affirming for me as an Autistic person with hearing problems, so I was wondering if you knew of more interactive fiction (CoGs or visual novels) that featured Autistic or Deaf/HoH characters? If not, that's fine, but thank you for making such a gold product!!

I haven’t played many choice games or visual novels tbh, and from what I have played, I haven’t seen any autistic or deaf/hoh characters, so my advice would be to ask in the choicofgames forums.
