OC !

(alan wake-gravity falls crossover) man i love that character. you know, the deeply paranoid author who made a pact with a dark entity that ultimately ended with him stranded in another dimension separated from his loved ones for years at a time? takes place in the pacific northwest? has twin imagery associated with him and a reoccurring specific piece of symbology related to the unfortunate situation they're in? doesn't ever explain the reasoning behind his actions and instead just kinda goes "bro trust me"? yeah he also wears an outer layer of clothing with elbow pads on it, that one.

Hi! I have a question if you would like to answer: what made you want for Arlow and Lucanis to be best friends prior to the events of the game? Like what was the moment where you went „that would be a great idea“ and why?

Ahh yes, thank you for asking!! I am always happy to talk about them (:

Short answer: I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers, especially with some kind of mess or drama in between.

Long answer:

Before Veilguard dropped, I was being so careful to not let myself get out of hand building a Rook, because even though I like to bend canon, I also like to know what the canon sandbox is before I do that. I wanted to know the backstories, the faction vibes, and the relationship/quest beats before I got my heart set on an OC. At the same time, I was battling the overwhelming urge to immerse myself in character building because I was so hyped. So, as a compromise (and this is the "moment" I would say), I let myself pick exactly one (1) thing about my Rook: she knows how Lucanis takes his coffee and he trusts her to make it for him.

(which became infinitely funnier once it dropped that crow!Rook was a de Riva, because of the poison angle. serendipity, lol)

Having read the short story The Wake, I knew that there would be some fuckery regarding Lucanis being "dead" (and I was already planning to romance him after reading Tevinter Nights). I wanted to give him and Arlow enough of a relationship history that his death would mean more to her than just "ah shit, the First Talon's grandson got got", but I didn't want that history to be romantic, because I wanted to watch the romance arc play out in game.

So, best friends. And with how intense Lucanis is about his platonic relationships with all of the Veilguard, I'm really glad for that choice - I think it suits both of them, and the stories I want to tell for them (:

Thank you again for asking!! Kicking my feet and twirling my hair whenever I get to talk about them 💜💜

about 1081 and the difference of Law's and Kidd's outcomes, while I know some people are upset over Law getting a confirmed getaway vs not knowing Kidd/Killer's whereabouts, I think the main difference is who they just got their asses kicked by

Shanks and the giants don't have an obligation to, but they can easily drag them out of the water at least and dump them somewhere, or the crew can drag themselves out and limp away to lick their wounds and lay low for a bit while figuring out what to do because I do not believe that they're dead, there's still so much to be done with Kidd's group imo BUT VERSUS THAT

we have Law with Blackbeard, and if Law stayed defeated on that island with Blackbeard, he was for sure going to die, no matter what

Blackbeard wanted his fruit, whether to keep, sell, or to have Law use it for immortality, no matter the option, it would've killed Law, so Law had to go asap while still holding onto a defeated status (and being separated from the rest of his crew, but there's a high chance Blackbeard may take them as hostages or slaves back to his island, none of the others have a fruit power and should have a high chance at survival because like Kaido, Blackbeard currently wants slaves for work)

Okay my crack theory for Lucy’s god situation:

What if instead of dying Lucy’s god became an archfey and fucked off, forsaking all of their followers. I could see that as justifiable for a minor god—maybe you don’t want your personality and existence to be dependent on a group of people small enough for a really big hurricane to wipe them out. Maybe you want to try your hand at self actualization, which you can’t really do as a god. Whatever.

But that would still mean Lucy’s grades would be screwed for the year, and the whole group would be switched to pass/fail.

Whatever god they’re trying to bring back seems like they want to stay a god, but would also only have a single living cleric so their nature would be heavily influenced by who that cleric is, and could still be controlled. Bringing back an established dead god with living followers probably reduces the risk of the god immediately dying or completely sucking ass/not being powerful like what happened with YES!(?), and we know the Ratgrinders LOVE minimizing risk. And choosing a dead god that represents something Lucy is actually passionate about preaching and proselytizing would make her work as a cleric much easier for her emotionally than, say, switching to Helio and just going through the motions, and bringing back a god would probably look good on college resumes.

Idk, that’s just an alternative theory to Lucy’s god dying based on what’s been established this season.

They fucking did it again those bastards. Jason Todd fucking dies 2: Electric Boogaloo. Fuck it, let's go for a threepeat at this point. It'll be funny as hell.

Eternally charmed zatos system voice in xrd has him mentioning squids at least twice like ohh. Is eddies fascination w sea life a lingering remnant of when zato actually had interests …? Did zato just pick it up from eddie? I dunno. Very cute.

@heroesbyler re: your blood drinking Brenner post

k so we've got literal blood draining along with "sick", a very Brenner word as you've discussed before

"devil" brought me here

okay I'm sure this is just a hint about Vecna living in the Creel House which is in Hawkins.

it's probably totally inconsequential that this season opened by showing us Dr. Martin Brenner, at his house, picking up the Hawkins Post newspaper thrown by the Hawkins Post newspaper delivery boy to illustrate Brenner Living In Hawkins.

and then "sacrifice" brought me here:

(forgot to include it in the caption but he also tells Max, "you're sick!")

I don't know why this never struck me as weird until right now because. sacrifice? is that what you did? because you don't usually sacrifice victims to.. yourself. it's just, you know. murder.

if these people are, in Vecna's own words, sacrifices, who are they sacrifices TO? 🤨

[todayisafridaynight]

thinking of the very likely possibility there are true crime channels in the rgg universe and one (1) person has probably looked into masato's ''''''death'''''. for shits and giggles of course.
