Hey author, I have to ask, just how evil can we be in OKS exactly? Completely hypothetical scenario, of course, but let's say someone wanted to break through Adrian's barriers and get themselves his love, then break his heart, traumatize him some more, and kill him last after murdering the other harbingers, whispering to his ear, "It's all your fault."

Could the fantasies of this absolutely evil and wretched hypothetical person be fulfilled in any way, shape, or form?

Please see the FAQ entry...

My MC is intrigued by this agenda of demonic conquest & people-eating and would like to subscribe to their newsletter. Can I join the other side?

Well... there's certainly some Dead Ends where you can do that!

How the Hell Did You Think That Would Work Out?

The MC can be a pretty shitty, manipulative person using everyone around them while running around getting people killed (Serial Killer MC is certainly onboard there!) up to a reasonable point, after which they're getting put down like a rabid dog trying to murder the plot.

Also, quick reminder that freaking Not Your Mother's Shire got rejected from Hosted Games for being "too offensive". And it went nowhere near as dark as that. I wouldn't hold my breath about any full-blown psychotically evil MCs getting published through Choice of Games.

Not me sitting here trying to decide if i can turn this Dollzone boy into Skully *sweats nervously*

I think with a small enough brush i could paint the mouth however i want.. and the moon white skin tone (not pictured) they have would be perfect. Will marinate on this and try not to impulse buy but........

touch

a meljay arcane ficlet

People didn’t touch her. That was just as she intended. She had taken great care to cultivate the public image of someone utterly untouchable, serene and in control, an impenetrable, formidable persona.

Mel had started to feel its fractured fault lines more and more.

Sir Pentious and Vox Similarities

- Pathetic

- Inventors/Innovators of their respective technologies

- Simultaneously ahead of their times and yet still old school in some facets

- Rely on support (P - eggs and hotel, V - Voxtek staff, Vees)

- Do not do well in direct confrontation, rely on inventions and support

- Have a “base” to conduct ranged operations (P - aircraft thing, V - gamer screen room)

- Looked up to/admired someone, wanted to be their equal (P to Vees, V to Alastor)

- Got brutally rejected

- While Pentious’ support system paved the way for him to be a better person, Vox probably got worse, who knows

- Hypnotism powers

- Will change themselves to please or appeal to others to be accepted (P will spy to please Vees, then reform to please hotel peeps, V will present differently to please audiences, etc)

- Visual motifs (P is covered in eyes, V’s head is a literal visual medium and has eyes everywhere with his drones and cameras)

- Need(ed) to be seen as a nemesis to Alastor (P obvs past tense), pick fights they can’t win unprovoked (V was more of a verbal battle but still lost rip)

- similar drip

- top hats

- bow ties

- I’m sure I’ve missed some stuff

Is this anything

I’ll post it but I won’t tag cause. I’m kinda scared of going out there

Alt ver vvv kinda edgy

[shadyclipse]

despite knowing better some part of me was hoping the rizz-off between franky and senor pink would end with a kiss between them.

[amelikos]

Something so interesting to me about the way they are depicting Gibeon's close friendships, while Amethio still doesn't have such bonds with others yet.

[mermaidsirennikita]

On another note, I keep being like "And finally, I shall read The X Wolf's Rejected Mate" or whatever, but I think it's time to admit that after reading Immortals After Dark, it may be impossible for me to accept the concept of werewolves who REJECT their mates

Like what is even the point of reading a werewolf book where he rejects her lmao

bruh the kids in one piece go through so much.

like i’m at law’s backstory. señor pink and lao g are explaining to baby 5 how flevance got destroyed and there’s bits of laws life before joining the donquixote family.

he watches his younger sister get sick and so does everyone around him; as far as he knows, there’s no cure. his town is being quarantined due to amber lead disease being labeled “contagious” (it’s not) and if someone from flevance tries to escape, they get shot like they’re rabid animals. he has to keep a brave face for his younger sister, and his parents (who he thinks are one of, if not the best doctors in town) are in distress. the people of flevance (rightfully) get upset due to them being mistreated by the government that’s supposed to protect them AND by their neighboring countries so they fight back, but are only met with the navy basically maiming them down for standing up for themselves. and law has to see the people he knows and loves die. he’s begging for his parents to wake up when they’ve been shot. the hospital he told his sister to wait in is on fire, so unless she made it out she’s gone as well.

and then, when asked about how he managed to escape flevance, law says he HID AMONGST A PILE OF DEAD BODIES????????

like no kid should have to witness that.

and then when cora takes him to the hospital, he has to relive the trauma he faced.

“they treat me like i’m sub-human”

and these are supposed to be DOCTORS??? like educated and all?? they’re calling a little kid a monster, diseased, just calling law anything BUT a child of God 😭😭 even cora was like “tf? how are you this uneducated as a doctor”

and i mean its at the fault of the world government bc they KNEW that a) exposure to amber lead could be extremely harmful, but they turned a blind eye and then b) killed the people of flevance when this whole mess could’ve stopped a century ago and finally c) they didn’t disprove the notion that amber lead poisoning was contagious. they just let everyone believe it when they could’ve just said “no it’s not, we need to help these people”

i just feel so bad for law. like oh my gosh, no wonder he was so mad at the world. no wonder he wanted to destroy everything he saw because the world did the same thing to him, so what’s the harm in returning the favor?

i need to give law a hug, in fact let’s give almost every one piece character a hug !
