Your Protege. (Pt 2)

SAME DAY DELIVERY. HERE WE GO.

This is the only time theyve shown such sheer anger in front of anyone. Theyre usually just cold, or disappointed -- never furious.

Its one of the times Neo3 actually feared the captain.

MORE NOTES ABT CUTTLEFISH BELOW

Not over how Cuttlefish is this fuckign loony old man who pushes his ideas on young 3, constantly goinf "yall kids think Im crazy but LOOK WHOS RIGHT FOR ONCE", "I cant fight anymore, thats why I got you!", "Youre hero material, kid! Youre gonna be big!!"

Then raves abt how the Octarians are evil

3, who was desperate for praise from someone who reminds them of their direct relatives, does everything he says to do just to be appreciated more.

Cuttlefish taught them how to fight hand to hand. How to move and think on their feet. (Though they were given similar in their younger years)

Cuttlefish was... generally more warm and supportive than their dad, but yknow. A lot of this started bc 3 agreed to work for him. Be his deadly weapon.

-------

Cuttlefish was more concerned abt the Zapfish than 3s well-being then... He knew that the constant praising was working so hes gonna keep doing it. (...mostly bc thats what worked on HIM back then)

After 3 does his dirty work, he realized he should probably keep the kid around bc his paranoia with Octaria is a damn bitch and this kid is one hell of an ass kicker. They dont mind. Right??

3 never showed any sign of wanting to leave. Why would they, he was so kind to them, more than their dad or grandad ever was. (Also the paranoia rubbed off on them. Oops!)

Then, he asked them to go on a longer patrol with him. Pushed them to their fucking limit. Bc of what?? Octaria making moves again? (Octavio did make moves but they were already, as we say in the game, "too far from the objective to really contribute to the fight". This is why agent 4 was dragged in.)

There, 3 saw more and more that hes just a loony old man who wanted to have a fancy weapon to protect him in his crusade. A crusade they never really questioned, mind you. Theyve no reason to believe Octaria was nice in any way, not when they keep trying to kill them. (...in self defense. They havent realized, yet.)

Then they encounter 8, who had dropped her weapon at the sight of them. Raising her hands in surrender. 3 was far ahead of the coot, and managed to actually talk to her and everything. They were this close to bringing her back to Inkopolis as a friend, until the bastard ruined the moment.

Cuttlefish still told them that she was a danger. It might be a trick! Dont put your guard down! Pressured to follow their superior, 3s mask returns to their face, turning onto 8 with the herl shot ready to fire.

Then they all tumbled into the metro.......

....for Cuttlefish to use yet ANOTHER kid (8) to get him out of a hairy situation.

--------

Hes a crazy old man. Only caring for any of the kids beyond the platoon after they do his dirty work.

Like "mmm! Thank you for committing the war crimes in my stead. Youre a good kid, you know that? Anything I can do to support you further? Mmmm???"

...I dont think hes aware.

Hes not aware that hes harming the entire platoon, bc in his mind hes doing the greater good here. Get some easily manipulable kids on the street, shower em with praise and promises of glory and valor, and theyll do ANYTHING for you.

Including the warcrimes you keep wanting to do.

I think...I think he doesnt know hes manipulating the kids. I think he genuinely believes his own promises. He glamorizes the valor of war bc hes a commander who sits in the back of it. He really believes that this is for the best. He believes that this is how you inspire your troops to fight.

--------

LETS GO THATS ALL MY NOTES I SPENT ALL DAY FINISHING THIS COMIC. GOODNIGHT INKOPOLIS!!!

[kazuhahaa]

playing video games with them | anemo boys <3

: kazuha, xiao, venti, wanderer

:mostly crack, a little suggestive but no warnings

well anyway this is another reupload!! added kuni’s part also got lazy to proof read its just a headcanon anyway!!! i play wayy to much video games and id love to share my hobbies with these sweet babies <3

kazuha

i think this baby is a really chill gamer, he enjoys the cozy aspect of video games. thats why i think games like minecraft, stardew valley, animal crossing and the sims!! cozy video game dates are a norm for you guys when its too hot outside or too rainy.

imagine playing stardew valley with him, curled up under the covers with your MATCHING SWITCH CONSOLES. you guys working through the first few years of the game as little farm people doing little farm things. he’d even find some helpful guides online so you guys can maximise your finances in the game. honestly i can see how he gets a little petty at the fact that you MARRIED some npc in the game and he had to watch the whole cutscene while you joked around that he hadn’t given you enough attention and this was all his fault. now kazuha hates that particular npc, and he’s definitely pouting the whole night. give him lots of smooches, tell him that no video game code can replace your pookie wookie baby boy <3

but there, of course are other ways you can make up for it, like asking him to marry you- in animal crossing duh!! he’d take this whole thing very seriously obviously, its a wedding silly. he’d prepare a little wedding venue in his world by the beach, even going as far to design a cute little tux. it’s adorable, also don’t think for a second that he wouldn’t give you a kiss (giggling after) when the wedding officiant says you may now kiss. i also can picture kazuha buying you a promise ring irl , with a maple leaf engraved onto it. yes it was a animal crossing wedding, but it was YOUR WEDDING non the less.

another thing i can imagine is while you were playing the sims kazuha would 100% ask to create a little family with you. he’d even help to go “shopping” online for CC that would fit your characters or homes. kazuha DIES A LITTLE inside as you carefully curate each of the characters, spending hours deciding on the perfect outfits, hairs and personalities. coming up with mini fantasy stories about the mini yous and giggling along with him when they get a little too absurd. your cute family consists of you, kazuha and a little white cat. kazuha likes watching you get a little flustered whenever his character flirts with yours, sending a romantic haiku your way. not to mention the first time your character’s woohoo’ed he teasingly said:

“its honestly a shame that they’re the only ones that get to woohoo you know?”

anyway kazuha is 100% down to try as many games as he can with you, playing games with him is 10 bells out of 10 bells hehe

xiao

gamer xiao… yea he kinda scares me. xiao plays shooter games for sure, like obviously he’s had an eboy valorant phase but lets skip past that for now. its definitely more than normal to hear him grumbling how “dogshit” some of his teammates are. he’s definitely muted from chat on several games, also banned from league most of the time from being toxic in the chats.

playing competitive games with xiao is definitely an experience, and it definitely does not feel like the stereotypical pocket sage and hyper-carry jett. so please proceed with caution. the first time you and him played together, he may have gotten a little TOO HEATED and may have cussed you out on accident forgetting it was his loving, doting and caring partner who just wanted to participate in one of his hobbies. xiao doesn’t mean to get angry at you, please bare with him when the words “how is this person so fucking bad, how are they SO USELESS JUST GET OFF THE GAME DUDE” slip out. and oh boy… xiao immediately regrets his words, he feels so bad. he was actually overjoyed when you asked to play with him, even if he doesn’t actually show it, now he definitely assumes that you won’t ever want to play games with him EVER, hell maybe you want to break up. he’s spiralling. he apologises so much and he’s so awkward and so fidgety. its hard to stay mad at him, when he’s like this you have to admit he’s a little cutie. the next few days he’s definitely cautious and on edge around you, he finds it weird that you let go of the situation so easily and just moved on. he cant believe he let such vulgar words be thrown towards you. so after a conversation about his behaviour, you both decide maybe its best you just be an observer. you’re more than happy to straddle him, chin on his shoulder when he plays at his pc. and xiao LOVES IT, there is honestly nothing more comforting than you give him a little kiss when he starts to get a little too tense. occasionally when you face the screen and watch his games, he gets so nervous to play well. and xiao absolutely DIES when you compliment his abilities. bro needs the praise please, in that moment he thinks you’re so sexy and you have such a caring soul and his ears are tinted so red. don’t tease him though, he won’t be able to play the game properly.

another thing xiao is so weirdly good at is arcade games. i can picture arcade dates and xiao is just godly at them, claw machines, those basketball ones, car racing- you name it sweetheart and he’s earning those tickets like he needs to feed his 20 kids as a single dad. xiao acts so nonchalant about it, shrugging his shoulders as if this talent of his isn’t a big deal, but inside he’s so proud that he’s managed to get you that plushie he knows you’d been eyeing the whole day. he loves the way you grip onto his biceps pulling him to another machine to test his abilities, he may grumble about you overreacting but he’s so happy just to see you smile. and having you cheer him on the side is such an added bonus, you’re such a cute cheerleader. anyway i rate xiao a “please dont scold me baby im trying my best” out of “FUCK YOU FUCKING SUCK”

venti

horror games. literally venti HATES THEM but he cant get enough of it. playing phasmophobia would be so incredibly fun, but also a total shitshow. like im talking him making you do all the work while he intentionally provokes the ghost. at the same time he’s too scared to do anything so, he’s always really close to you. so if anything ever happens, you’d be a total idiot to think he’d try to help you, venti would be the first one out the door and running away. venti is also so horrendously LOUD, literally half the time instead of getting spooked by the game, your having a heart attack inducing jump scare from his random screaming. don’t even get me started on roblox horror games, every week there’s some new game he discovered on tiktok, and you are playing it with him, you have to.

another game venti loves to play is sims, but he’s about 100 times more chaotic compared to kazuha. he loves those ridiculous challenges and he wants to have like 10 babies with you, and then proceeds to cry when they are taken away from the sims version of cps. for some reason he has all the packs and likes to screw around with everything. he makes silly little bets with you in any game, for example in the sims he’d bet with you whether your 23rd child is going to be a boy or girl, most bets are harmless like a kiss or cuddles, unless he’s in the mood.

speaking of intimacy, venti needs to be holding you while playing games. arms linked, lying on your lap or you in his, honestly you just let him because he’s so cheeky about it anyway. venti also loves playing music related games with you, duh!! karaoke, guess the song, finish the lyric. ANYTHING!! whether you can sing or not, he just loves to hear your voice, definitely teases you if you cant though hehe. karaoke is so fun, if your shy he definitely eases you into letting lose and breaking out of your comfort zone, duetting with you is something he loves because music is his passion and honestly it hits so close to home for him. you’d often find him squeezing your hand as a form of encouragement.

im rating venti a solid 8 red bulls out of “i’ve already had 15”.

wanderer

this little emo baby is 100% only ever playing single player games, things that are extremely grindy and super lore heavy (bro is on subreddits looking at game theories and conspiracies, he would love to talk to you about them if you ever asked)!! im talking about bloodborne, doom, assassin’s creed and dark souls. he hates online multiplayer games because he doesn’t want to interact with “idiots” as he’s mentioned numerous times. so unfortunately its not often that you have a chance to play any type of multiplayer games with him.

however when it comes to his gaming sessions, he’d subtly invite you to come watch him because you’re like his own little streaming audience, and he loves it. the way you comment about how cool his character looks, or ask questions about gameplay mechanics. he loves how you involve yourself in his hobbies, it turns him to mush. he also loves how you play with his hair while peeking over his shoulder to look at the tv screen as he taps away at the controller. sometimes when the game gets a little boring he notices how your breath bounces off his neck, needless to say, those nights end up a bit more differently than how you originally imagined.

also if your ever interested in the game, kuni would “hesitantly” offer you to play on a new save file. but he’s actually elated that you’re going to try his FAVOURITE video game ever. you take your place in his lap as he explains to you the basics, not many would notice but you can ever so slightly hear the excitement in his voice. kuni complains about you being so lost but he’s so careful with explaining certain things, he’s also so patient as you take hours designing your character, well he’s okay being patient since its you. kuni absolutely DISSOLVES when facing a difficult boss, puzzle or obstacle, you kinda go into a slump against his chest and beg him to help you get past it. he snickers that your so weak, but somehow he manages to get through so swiftly- i guess he needs to show off a little to you. he also may complain a lot but thats just how this baby boy is, dont get discouraged he actually thinks you’re so cute.

also if you ever find yourself playing overcooked, moving out, gang beasts or any of those party games with kuni… good luck, just because he doesn’t like competitive games like valorant, DOES NOT MEAN HE ISNT COMPETITIVE. he gets so worked up and its honestly a little cute if you can look past the crusty white dog behaviour. if you do end up getting into an argument over these games, dont be surprised. im lazy to give a rating so im giving him 10/10, again minus the crusty white dog.

edit: if you saw “anyway wanderer is a straight” HAHA i apologise maybe thats why i should straight proof reading oops hehe

[■■■■■■■■■□] 90%

it started as a joke, he didnt think anyone would really watch

but followers and viewers SKYROCKETED so fast, he was kinda overwhelmed at first

mostly streams LoL, but loves switching between diff games throught the stream (OVW, apex, valorant, fortnite)

but for some reason, he hates COD. HATES IT. if chat even mentions it he screams

he gets banned regularly for "random shit" aka trying to beef with the 12 year old's in chat, accidentally smoking on cam, etc

has absolutely no filter, just plays the game the same way he would if he were alone, which gives him one hell of a reputation online

chat goes WILD when he ties his hair back, cause usually its in his face

does a lot of 12-24 hour streams bc he cant sleep

streams at the most random and inconvenient times, like 4pm or 3am.

that being said he has no set schedule. he usually just hops online whenever.

loves bantering with chat, he thinks its so funny

"blueflame says... "this man needs chapstick lolz"

"well fuck you blueflame, you need a loving family and some bitches, but i guess both of us are fucked, hm?"

went through a huge minecraft phase and ended up creating a small cult following from it

which he abhors. like fucking hates it bc of all the drama in the minecraft community-he doesn't like to be associated with them.

calls his fans rats/bugs/etc.

goes on long-ass adhd rambles about random shit a LOT

"chat, chat watch this, gonna get this fucker"

*dies*

"chat. i am going to scream."

this man has 0 social awareness or media etiquette

like he's actually disgusting on stream it can be a hard watch at times. especially if he's eating cause he doesnt gaf about being "polite"

listens to a lot of hyperpop/metal/game osts in the background but has gotten in trouble for copyright lol

does dumbass dances in his chair if he wins a round

when everyone realized he wore gloves to game, he got sent a BUNCH of new ones, with different patterns and materials (he shows them all off) (his fav ones are the creeper-themed ones tho :3)

has "horror nights" where he'll stay up and play shit like fnaf, slender, closing shift, and other indie horror games

he played facade once but immediately removed the game from his pc (very dramatically) after trip denied his request to "kiss it sloppy style".

chat regularly begs him to play roblox but he always ignores it

even though he HAS it downloaded.

"chat what the fuck is skibidi ohio"

always drinking some form of energy drink no matter what time it is

"someone in chat said im cute. go touch grass"

has a discord server that he does in fact own and mod. but only lets certain people join (he does have a tier system after a while)

[■■■■■■■■■] 100%

ugh gamer streamer shiggy is so Real to me...and so cute...i need him viciously

thank u for the request, 🧸!

[offbranddrpepsi]

Hiiiiiiiii<33. I just read the Yandere Chamber headcanons and I REALLY liked them. Can I request Yandere Chamber NSFW headcanons this time?

Absolutely. Im glad you liked them. NSFW Below the cut per usual.

NSFW Yandere Chamber HCs

More intimately Chamber is still ever the gentleman however this is kind of where the mask slips. Whats unsaid is said. You know exactly how he thinks of you.

Mumbles of how you're all his are lost to your skin as he kisses every bit of it. He is praising himself for winning you just as much as he is praising you for simply being you.

One of his favorite things is to have you naked and in his lap wearing one of the elaborate chains or harnesses he's gotten you. Delicate chains of gold wrapping around your body but not constricting unless he pulls on the leash hidden in it all. You look like a gods lover or perhaps a really nice statue. He fiddles with the chains as he works, watches tv, etc giving you just enough friction to keep you on edge all while he is off in his own world.

Speaking of naked, he enjoys you being nude or mostly nude far too much. He encourages you to embrace your body and dress as minimally as you wish, even providing options for you so you have anything you don't like showing covered. Of course this is a sight for his eyes only and there are numerous robes around the house incase he needs you to cover up. The windows are tinted so the world cannot see you but you can see it but he does have curtains and blinds that remain open or shut at your request. Your body, and you, are one of his greatest treasures so he does all he can to maintain your comfort so he will have access to it when he desires it .

The first time he is able to indulge in you he takes his time to memorize every detail. You're bashful at how he looks at you and how slow he wants to take you, maybe some bit of insecurity sneaking in. He savors each time after just as he did the first though he never views you as just a sexual object to satisfy his needs. He craves you but he also respects you. You're his treasure, his most valuable possession, he would do nothing to diminish the bond that he has built. As such he always asks, never forces, you for anything even close to sex. Even as you sit on his lap, bare as the day you were born, he is asking if its already to rub your legs and ghost over your most sensitive points. It may be weird to say but the consent from you does more to turn him on than you exposing yourself as to him it just is another show of you giving yourself to him which is the only thing he wants.

Chamber is also the man who takes you for a boudoir shoot. If you don't know what that is it is provocative photos taken artistically as to tease the viewer and is often used as gifts for lovers or to boost self confidence. He brings various props for you to pose around or with, lingerie, jewelry, you look like one of the most extravagant renaissance paintings when he's done with you. Several photos are taken which he makes sure there are absolutely no doubles of, they are for his and his double if you're into that viewing and no one elses. He has well known contacts tweak the pictures to hide anything he wouldn't want being accidentally seen (mainly intimate areas) then has them framed and placed in his office and study. One of the more artistic photos he hires a painter to replicate and has it hung above the mantle.

moving to actual sex, Chamber takes you as often as you'd allow. If you ask it of him, regardless as to what hes doing, he will happily accept. There are view places in his home that you havent been bent over having your brains fucked out of you. During his time at Valorant he memorized the blind spots of cameras and would fuck you where ever when ever possible. Though quick sex is difficult with all his theatrics he is more than happy to fuck you senseless then move about his day.

Something Chamber does prefer is cuming inside of you. If you don't favor it, and in the beginning, he would use condoms of course but then it moves from coming in you to on you. Filling you up pleases him, the image of his cum spilling out giving him enough drive to fuck you again and again until you're sore. If you can be on birth control then he pushes for it until life calms down and he thinks he's ready for the chance of a little one around, he is still working on stuff after all. If you aren't for kids at all then he would entirely fund any operation needed to avoid that be that on you or himself. What ever lets him cum inside you makes him happy.

Something he'd push for, to the point he'd make you think it was your own thought, is getting his makers mark tattooed small some where. The places he'd favor it being are the back of your neck, between your breasts, or above your intimate area (though not a full womb tattoo). Its his little way of fully sealing that you're he is. No matter where you are, what you're doing, who you're with you will always have his mark on you. If allowed he may even use the same nano tech in his own tattoos, telling you its a safety measure when its actually a tracker. The reason he'd ask for permission is that the tech has draw backs, ones he knows well, but the emblem is small enough it shouldn't endanger you.

He will find quick moments to fuck you before going to events, missions, times where it wouldn't be ideal to go to the bathroom or shower, and will cum in you before either sending you off or joining you to the event. He sits silently as you squirm, looking at you with that knowing smile. Its not as if you can tell someone, not that you would even if you could. What drives him to do this is the fact no one else can. You are his to fill, his to mark, his to fuck until you cant remember your own name.

A little way he works more control in is near always fucking you until the point of breaking. Your legs can barely move when he's done with you, your face wet with tears of pleasure. When he can he binds you so theres difficult to hide marks. At times he bites, hard, leaving you marked for days. On one such occasion he would bite too hard, enough blood was draw, leaving a nasty scar that he tended to but made sure scared. Of course this one he makes sure you can hide in day to day life but anything that shows skin immediately tells others you are owned.

When you're bound, after he's asked of course, he uses you as he wishes. Carrying you about effortlessly as he fucks you like his own personal sex toy. In these moments the only place you belong is on his cock or his face. If he wants you in his mouth he holds you there, pleasuring you until hes sated before putting you right back where you belong and filling you. Exhaustion becomes normal. How ever long it takes you to recover he is always there caring for you and meeting your every need. If you let him he would fuck you lightly and gently during this time, keeping you in this sex drunk state for as long as he can.

The toys he allows are always ways that leave you in a state of edge. Chaining you with gold chains and having you sit on a vibrator while he works, your squirming for just on the edge of his vision. A plug placed in you after he fucks you and fills you while a vibrator is strapped to your most sensitive areas

Bonus for people that like seeing double: If you enjoy his mirror as much as you enjoy him then you are in for a time. Everything one does and enjoys the other does as well save for a few kinks here and there. For days at a time, only broken up by a nap and food, you are passed between the two and fucked and marked to oblivion. They are both possessive, both madly in love with you, both awful at sharing with anyone but each other. One fucks you senseless while the other fucks your face. At times they both enter you and fuck you while mumbling praises and passing your mouth back and forth between theirs. While one goes down on you the other holds you against him, stimulating you with his hand while holding you as if you would slip away, mouth devouring yours while his mirrors devours else where. Sometimes your nights start with one and suddenly there is two. Sometimes your chamber is on a business trip when you feel his mirror slip into your shower, bed, room etc in the middle of the night, fondling you before fucking you.

[uzurakis]

ok ok ok hc (obvi had to do my bbygirl choso):

i think he’s into video games but mostly like first person shooters (bro is absolutely cracked at valorant) but i am bad at them so to appease me we play minecraft together (but i’m still lowkey scared of the mobs lmao)

a loud scream escapes your lips as you frantically back away in the game, your character spinning wildly. “FUCK. CHOSO—BABY, CREEPER!” you shout, voice high-pitched with panic. “IT’S GONNA EXPLODEEEE!!!”

choso glances at your screen, his expression calm and slightly amused. “just kill it, babe,” he says, barely reacting to the danger.

“I CAN’T?!?!” you yell back, your character now backed into a corner. the creeper edges closer, its hissing growing louder.

your guy sighs, shaking his head with a small smile. “fine, i’ll do it.” his eyes still on the screen. “you know, you could just practice killing them. it’s really not that hard.”

you give him a death glare. “easy for you to say, mr. unfazed-by-creepers.”

he grins, nudging you with his elbow. “maybe we should build a safer base so you don’t have to deal with mobs so much.”

“orr you could just keep killing them for me,” you suggest, batting your eyelashes at him dramatically.

and choso laughs, “ya know, you’re lucky you’re cute.”

[utilitycaster]

OK time to make dinner and take a pause but I've finished all faction/location quests as well including the gotdamn heart of corruption for which the quest marker is NOT clear, thank you Reddit thread I found, and anyway I'll elaborate when I am not ravenously hungry but the briefest of reviews for companion quests/faction quests.

Harding (no faction quest): A in companion quest; deeply tied into her abilities and the main plot, compelling, good mixture of emotions, Stalgard is the funniest motherfucker alive, great job

Neve/Dock Town/Shadow Dragons: *purple diverging arrows voice* because I saved Treviso, my options for her and Dock Town were limited, but I do feel like the location quests and her quests were intertwined (and connected to the main story) and they did a good job of conveying the chaotic nature of the city after the attacks; Dock Town's stuff ended up being kind of atmospheric more than a single narrative but it was pretty strong especially because it was mostly detective stories. Neve's throughline was great even with the limited choices.

Bellara/Arlathan/Veil Jumpers: Bellara's questline was excellent if by far the saddest one, and the Veil Jumpers story hits well in both the initial location of Arlathan and the main questline stuff (Blood of Arlathan and its lead in) but I must admit a lot of the location quests pale in quality next to Davrin and Harding and Bellara's storyline quests there. I wish the fucked up wild magic played a larger part, or you were working more towards helping Bellara with the archive or uncovering ancient elven information or something instead of just "hey find some veil jumpers who went missing" all the time.

Lucanis/Treviso/Crows: One of the strongest stories across the board - Lucanis's own quests about figuring out who united him with Spite tie into the larger Venatori plots and reveal a ton about his family; the city quests portray the Antaam and growing Venatori presence; and the main plot quest for the Crows puts it all together. Just very good narrative synergy and no goofy fetch quests.

Davrin/Hossberg Wetlands/Wardens: Davrin's questline itself is actually weirdly chill because the bulk of it is in The Cauldron which is main quest, so a lot of it is just hanging out with him and Assan. HOWEVER, I have to admit. Yes the Hossberg Wetlands are creepy and wet (I think there should be an Anderfels song that starts with that line, and have been attempting to compose one) but the combination of "oh, everything here is terrible" coupled with the "Something _____" quests from Antoine and Evka paint an incredible picture of the Wardens at their best, slowly and painfully reclaiming a place from the Blight after a horrible blow to morale at Weisshaupt; literally the only faction (as opposed to companion) quest to make me this emotional. "Something's Coming" you are that bitch I'm sorry I put you off because I hated the wetlands, and also I'm sorry I did you before the mercenary quest because it did make that one wicked anticlimactic.

Taash/Rivain and sometimes Hall of Valor/Lords of Fortune: I talked a bit about Taash's questline and how the choice isn't the weightiest but I do think their story is incredible and especially all the complexity of their relationship with their mother. The quests I admit are a little...scattered. Like, everyone else kind of has a cause or a placethey care deeply about and maybe I just don't know because I don't know past lore but the Lords of Fortune really is just like TREASURE GOOD. The most interesting quests were technically just as much Warden quests, the final Warden Treasure in Sharksmouth can FUCK OFF (I did it but UGH), and also I only hit my Excellent faction status by doing the Heart of Corruption quest in which I killed a dragon which feels kind of weird to me.

Emmrich/Necropolis/Mourn Watch: it pains me to say it as a person who loves the Mourn Watch conceptually but they used up literally all their juice on Emmrich's questline, which is a fucking banger start to finish, and the physical location of the Necropolis is fun although I did give up very early on some wisp puzzle that would unlock like 5 treasure chests and don't know if I care enough to go back; but like. The hauntings? what the fuck was that about Myrna and Vorgoth. "oh find a weird ghost SOMEWHERE ELSE" and the only other quest is "slay the worst undead dragon ever (this will be easier when you are level 50 and bring Lucanis and Emmrich and have fully gone Reaper, on level 30-ish this sumbitch will kill you twice on STORY MODE before you give up)" Like they put their WHOLE pussy into Hezenkoss's machinations and Emmrich's decision, A+ quest no notes, and then the faction quests are literally just like *cocks sword* thedas's haunted. you couldn't do ANYTHING that was like, actually in the Necropolis??? the fuck.

[sunwukxng]

Obviously I'm not going to judge someone for the choices they make regarding their body and appearance, but it really is so evil how so many beautiful women feel pressured and compelled by the weight of societal expectations to remain young and reach unattainable beauty standards

Like I can see how someone has had a lot of plastic surgery that has essentially completely transmogrified their entire face to the point they're unrecognizable, with completely different or exaggerated proportions, and it's just so fucking sad society made them feel so so ugly

I am not even blaming the person who does what they can to avoid stigma and the judgmental eyes and words and cruelty that needlessly accompanies something as natural and inevitable as aging. They did what they had to. But the fact they felt they NEEDED to, instead of wanted to

That's what gets me. Dysmorphia comes into the equation at some point, and their self-worth and self-image are fueled by self-hate because of outside influences that make them feel they can't compete or are worth anything as they grow older and so have to turn to surgery

And I get that. You have to do what have to to survive or get by or ease whatever problems that come your way. It's okay to take the path of least resistance sometimes. It's okay to make things easier on yourself or making yourself feel better. But fuck society, truly.

They're obviously not the exact same, but another example of doing what you have to to get by is black people having to constantly adjust their voice or mannerisms or behaviour in order to avoid trouble or get by in a racist society, self-policing because we feel we have to

Keeping our tempers and emotions in check lest we be labeled angry black people or dismissed out of hand as irrational and emotional or a threat to others, taking the indignities of microaggressions in order to survive and not rock the boat, to get by in a society that hates us

So I'm not gonna hold it against black people for doing what they need to because of how fucked society is and its treatment of black people can be so virulently diabolical. But isn't it fucked that we feel we HAVE to do that to survived? Or actually HAVING to, not even feel so?

Society's hatred of women, "ugly" women (i.e. women without eurocentric features or ancestry), fat women, and especially old/older women, or women's aging in general, making so many feel that they need to alter their appearance or put themselves through hell to have value...Evil

Evil evil evil. It makes me so angry and sad. Society needs to meet me in the pit or behind a Walmart parking lot at dawn because I'm sick of its shit.

Beauty standards, as well as the valorization of beauty above all other traits, needs to be taken out back and Old Yeller'd. 😒

The entire reason this thread exists is because I was listening to an absolute banger of an '80s pop/rock love song and seeing the singer (who will remain unnamed, because I don't wanna make any particular person feel bad) and wondering what she was up to and looked like now

Mostly because this was the first time I've come across her or her music, so I wanted to put a face to the name and see if she was still alive, how old, etc. I considered her really really beautiful in the album/song photo cover from the '80s, and she looks completely different

And I don't mean "she exists and therefore ages looks different as any human being does" different. It's apparent that she's had a lot of plastic surgery and is completely unrecognizable (to me). And the connection between age, beauty standards, pressures of fame etc came to mind

Clearly my own perspective is fucked/informed by society because I made this whole post because I placed value in her appearance and beauty and spoke as if my subjective opinion of her looks means anything at all, doing the exact thing I'm advocating against and criticizing.

Still, I think my overall point stands, and we need to examine how a trait as subjective as beauty and as fleeting as youth are lionized and valorized, reducing someone's worth to their appearance primarily or solely, despite the inevitability/inexorability of aging/growing old.

Idk I think we need to unlearn such a vile, hurtful concept such as beauty/youth being all that informs your worth or value, and even if not that, that there's beauty in being ugly or not beautiful (however you measure that), as well as beauty in aging and living to grow old.

So it stands this ideia i have that Viper is the one closest to understanding Omen’s condition and yet the one to most easily dehumanize him for it. Does it come from a place of fear? A guilt that demands control of the situation ? Like, this time she won't let things get out of hand.

Shes looking out for him, regardless of his input on it, because he's unstable, and she is a scientist.

cause maybe she’s right. Maybe only she can guess what omen’s truly capable of and its terrible, and thats why shed be willing to go the necessary lengths to stop it. Still... pretty fucked up... Just another day with Omen having little agency over his fate and body aahhhh...

And its coming from a place of anguish! Omen is getting closer to figuring out what happened to him and that's been his only life mission ever since coming back from the dead empty and hurt. To say that him having to face his trauma (aka dying in agony and losing his memories in the process) is dangerous to others is... cold... I sincerely hope Viper is wrong, mostly bcs this portrayal of traumatized ppl has become very tiresome in media, but also because Omen has shown he also thinks of himself like that, as something dangerous. I mean, narratively speaking Omen going full on Monster Mode would look pretty fucking cool most likely and is fitting for the action genre that VALORANT is.... But also, it would be cool to have a nuanced little take abt how ppl with mental health problems often hurt themselves much more than they can ever hurt others....... Not expecting that from val but gonna be thinking abt it for fics regardless

Maybe it is bcs Viper knows what happened though, that she knows that him knowing what happened wouldnt help him at all... But then, is that her choice to make? is this about his past at all or is she really just thinking he should move on already? I dont know! Ive wrote a fic abt this part here bcs it intrigues me.

Anyway this is me rambling cause im very excited we're FINALLY getting the real Omen crumbs.... I cant wait to see where this will lead, and hopefully it is to something cool

[potatoplace]

........ 🤭

I have a laptop! YAY

Still in the update/setup process and omg I sweaaaar they added even more questions since I got my last one in like 2016. Like damn. Daaaaamn you guys. Really wanna try and get aaaall my data.

Anyways lol I'll probs post from my LAPTOP LATER AAAHHHH

I'm trying to decide how I should decorate it. Obvi these grody boring stickers telling me what's iiiin the laptop will go. But. Do I put stickers on the outside? Or the inside? Should I get like a clear case (do they make those??) and theeeen sticker it the fuck up? Cause I've got like. Hella blackpink stickers (thank you born pink album 🙏) and a lot of fruit ones and maybe some cat ones? Idk but I wanna make it more fun than just boring silver (no pink... a CRIME against ME specifically)

Also also ALSO MY LOVER CARDIGAN CAME IN TODAY AND IM WEARING IT NOOOOW ITS SO CUTE AND COZY I LOVE IIIIIIT

I am like solely rambling under here so feel free to ignore me in my hyperness lol

Alsoooo also also (I'm hyper) I've spent waaay too much money these past few days cause iiiii received a small inheritance from my grandparents passing (they are much happier now, they both had p severe health problems towards the end 😔) which just even me getting anything was a super big surprise cause I'm a grandkid buuuuut anyways I've been. Blooowing it. Well. I saved a lot of it for actual bills and stuff and I'm saving more as just savings. But. BUT. I got a bunch of Halsey's makeup which I've been looooving- I tried some out today and itssss I'm not great at it yet lol but I wore it out n felt pretty even if I didn't looove how it turned out, but it's my first time playing around with both liquid eyeshadows, bright colors, aaand glitter so I'm fine with it and I had a good time it was nice. I also bought some of my pretty Dior perfume that I mostly ran out of like six months ago and omg. I sprayed some on the cardigan to get the gross packaging smell off of it and I feel so giiirly it's so nice.

It's been nice to be able to buy stuff that I've wanted for a long time. And that's all thanks to my grandparents. (I am trying very hard not to feel super super guilty for spending any of it on non-essentials and just for having it so. Yeah. Trying to just be grateful instead.)

And I'm going to be able to get my car fixed up!! And my credit cards payed down!! And have money in my savings for the first time in five years!! I am so damn grateful for it. And it got me a LAPTOP which wouldn't have been even a possibility for the next year or two at the least.

I'm so excited I'm gonna play so much valorant and wow and maybe even slime rancher 2??? CAUSE THIS LAPTOP CAN RUN SLIME RANCHER 2???? I've had it on my wishlist since it was released for early access and my last laptop couldn't even FATHOM trying to run it, it could just barely run wow and valorant (the games I fucked up.... unrated but stillllll lol) but omg I could play it! More wiggly adorable slimes!!!

Okay imma shut up now and maybe my laptop will be done lol

🌸 🌷💐 🪷 for Kerros

from these Rook asks!

ooooh let's see

🌸 Does your Rook have any siblings or close friends they see as such? Where are they during the events of Veilguard?

Two come to mind!

First, a blood half-sibling in Kieran. I genuinely have no fucking clue where this guy is during Veilguard though... and I haven't played Kerros enough to really figure out the nitty gritty.

I like the idea of Kieran continuing to go where Morrigan goes though - I think he would enjoy Arlathan a lot. He's curious and inquisitive, careful (most of the time) and patient, and I have no doubt he's learned a vast amount from Morrigan in their travels across Thedas. Pairing that with how lonely he feels after Urthemiel's soul was taken by Flemeth, I find it a pretty good bet that he takes some interest in exploring and documenting the Crossroads at some point.

I haven't finagled it out yet but I could absolutely see an universe where Kieran comes to the Lighthouse to study the Vi'Revas 👀

And the second: his cousin, officially Ignacio Brex, but most everyone calls him Brex. Born to Rion's sister, Sirya, around about 9:31-33 Dragon, not entirely sure on dates yet, but either which way, Brex is only about 9-10 during Veilguard. A baby.

And Brex is very much like a baby brother to Kerros, rather than cousin -- Sirya remains in the clan, in Dhavan'an, as does Brex, so Kerros' interaction with them is the same as it is with Cullen and Amrun and everyone else he misses back home; mostly letters sent here and there, with occasional very brief reunions made possible by the Howling Boeric and Kerros' shortcut to the Halls of Valor.

Brex definitely adores Kerros though, and constantly asks Sirya when he's coming home.

🌷If Rook needed to get away from their responsibilities for a moment, where would they go? Where is their safe space outside the Lighthouse?

Honestly, I think the Hall of Valour -- Kerros doesn't always like solitude, and being in a rowdy seaside bar with other Lords nearly always sounds like a good time for him. He can lose his responsibilities in other people for a little while.

I do think he comes to like Cafe Pietra a lot too once Lucanis introduces him to the place. It's a different atmosphere, nowhere near as raucous and overwhelming as the Halls, but it has its own charm. Its own peace. And he likes that it's Lucanis' place, it feels like knowing him that little bit more every time he goes there and sees something new that he didn't notice before.

💐 What is the relationship Rook has with their faction mentor? What was the moment they sent Rook away like?

Answered here!

🪷 Does your Rook have an irrational phobia? (ie spiders or large man-made objects submerged underwater)

I mean, he's really not a fan of the Fade, but I don't think that's irrational given how unstable it is.

Though, thinking about it some more -- enclosed spaces that make you feel miniscule. Like... when you walk into a big huge enclosed space and you feel utterly dwarfed by the vastness that surrounds you in that moment, enough that you feel like you could condense into a teeny tiny little black hole purely because of how your presence just echoes for eternity within those four walls. I think Kerros has seen some fucked up and gargantuan temples in his time and he'd prefer not to repeat it.

[thosearentcrimes]

Read Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Really didn't like it. It's supposed to be this crowning achievement in the novel but I thought it just kinda sucked. I finished Bring No Clothes because I had nothing better to do and it was insanely short. I finished Madame Bovary because, uh, I guess because I would feel bad talking shit if I hadn't read the whole thing? But then I do believe it would be legitimate to do exactly that.

Ok so I'll say the one nice thing about the book first. It does seem very carefully written, in that I really had to pay attention to each word individually, in a way I absolutely did not when I was reading Comte de Monte Cristo so as much as this has to do with language it's not the whole story. Now, unfortunately, the book is bad, so this mostly meant it took longer to wade through. But for someone who liked the book, this would probably be really rewarding! Also probably less of a problem for native speakers of French though. Especially native speakers of 19th century French but hey.

I think the main reason it is bad is that Gustave Flaubert really doesn't like any of the characters. It's pretty normal to create characters who you don't like or think are bad people, though in fact it's surprisingly difficult as it seems like either the writer acquires some sort of sympathy for them in the course of writing or they make them uninteresting. A monster conjured to torture protagonists or other sympathetic characters is one thing, or a passing caricature to mock, sure, but a fundamentally unlikable character? You don't tend to see it, and Madame Bovary is a prime example of why. It would be quite possible, though it would probably require Madame Bovary to be a much more comedic book (it has a handful of moments, far too separated), to write a good book with mostly hateable characters. However, that would require Flaubert to have any sympathy at all for his characters, especially for Emma Bovary herself, and all he can offer is condescension.

Gustave Flaubert really doesn't seem to have liked writing about Emma Bovary. At every opportunity he launches into an absurdly long visual description (regarding the "curtains were blue" meme, if the writer doesn't mean to signify anything besides the color of the curtain, then they are wasting my fucking time, and Flaubert wasted my time a whole lot as far as I can tell) or hops to another character's point of view, or retreats into non-omniscient third person, all just to avoid having to deal with Emma. I can see why, since as I mentioned, writing a character who you have no sympathy for is an unpleasant slog and the work you do is probably not very good. But retreating from the subject of your novel is not the answer.

The book faced an obscenity trial when it was first published, and in this as in all other cases that is a bad thing. What I can't for the life of me figure out is what on earth is supposed to be obscene. The depictions of sex are as far as I can tell entirely euphemistic, and the book has such blatant and plodding moralizing that it could hardly be taken as endorsement of adultery, and in any case it would be quite ridiculous for the French of all people to object to valorization of adultery.

I did not like reading this book. I don't fully understand why I continued to do so. Perhaps it is the gulf between the quality of the book and its reputation that compelled me. Who could I recommend this book to? You'll need a substantial tolerance for boredom and a fundamentally misanthropic outlook on life, I think. But you might enjoy it then, I suppose.

[picathartidae]

Thanks for the tag, @vestigialpersonality!

Three Ships: I’m not a big shipper and I don’t really understand shipping as a concept (blame it on my aro/aceness). It isn’t how I prefer to engage with media, but I’ll try to come up with some pairings I like anyway. 

Resist!Dark Urge/Spawn!Astarion, Baldur’s Gate 3. To the surprise of absolutely no one, I like these two together a whole lot. I tend to prefer a male Durge over a female one, but whatever. It’s a good fun time and they vibe. I like how Durge is the one character that forces Astarion to step up and be the responsible stable one. I love how you see this more emotionally available side to Astarion in a Durge run. I love how two objectively terrible people can end up bringing out the best in each other, despite the odds. I love the mutual and simultaneous redemption arcs. 

Jonas Kahnwald/Martha Nielsen, Dark. These two are a fucking disaster and I am so taken with how their weird obsessive love for each other is so destructive but also so pure and how that is so tied up with the themes. The way this show deconstructs relationships and the lengths people will go to for the sake of their loved ones is really compelling to me.

Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe, Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System. Another trash dumpster fire of a pairing, but whatever they are my boys and I love them. All of MXTX’s main pairs, really, but sqq/lbh are my absolute favourites, likely because Scum Villain is by far the easiest read of them all for me. I like the relationship in how it is used to actively deconstruct masculinity and support the overall themes of the novel.

First Ship: I’m pretty sure it was Scott Summers/Jean Grey from X-Men. Scott was always my #relatable vaguely autistic king, and Jean was genuinely just so cool and interesting to my young self. I’m still salty about it and I will never forgive Marvel. 

Last Song: I have been playing Die For You (ft Grabbitz) on a loop for maybe a month now. This is what happens when my partner rewatches Arcane and then listens to all of the League of Legends and Valorant music and sends me their favourites. And also the song perfectly fits in with my stupid Durge and his stupid Durge vibes, so… yeah. A song from Valorant for you. I have never played it and I barely know what it is, but this song is great.

Last Movie: I think it was Dune Part 2? It’s fine. It’s a good movie. I think it had the same problem as the book for me, in that the messaging was like getting hit repeatedly in the head with a sledgehammer because it didn’t seem to trust that people would get it, but since I’ve seen plenty of people completely miss said message, I can’t really blame it for that. It's very visually impressive and Denis Villeneuve is an insanely talented man who clearly knows the book series so well. Give him all of the awards.

Currently Reading: an eclectic collection of BG3 fanfictions.

Currently Watching: I’m making my way through Teen Wolf for the first time, because I’m legitimately shocked I never watched it when it was on (I was directly in its target demographic and never saw it? Who even am I). At the moment, I’m about three episodes into season 4. It’s a whole experience and I have so many feelings. Is it good? Not even slightly. Does it make sense? Barely. Am I kind of loving it anyway? Fuck yeah. Teenage me would have been all over this show. I’m so mad.

Currently Eating: Carbs! Always carbs. Just finished some spinach and feta scrolls, specifically.

Currently Craving: a decently written character-driven genfic. Please, I am begging.

Favourite Colour: dusty blue

Current Obsession: pretty much anything D&D related. Mostly BG3 specifically.

Last Thing I Googled: lots and lots and lots of Forgotten Realms lore. 

Favourite Season: Autumn, purely for the aesthetic.

Skill I’d Like To Learn: figure drawing, for sure. I am desperate to be able to produce decent character art for OCs, especially since I am poor and can’t currently afford to commission someone.

Best Advice: You shouldn’t have to justify every facet of your existence to others. You’re allowed to take up space.

Tagging: I think everyone I would tag has been tagged already, so I’m just going to leave it as anyone who wants to participate, consider yourself tagged.

october media recap ✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮

i love music, movies, tv, podcasts, games, books, and more. here's a recap of things i watched in october 2023!!

music ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚

i've been really into more indie blues type music as autumn comes to a head, my playlist autumn girls this is for you has a bit more songs that i really associate with this season. anyway heres the list!

mitski - my love mine all mine

mitski - i'm your man

these two songs are phenomenal, as is mitski's album "the land is inhospitable and so are we" i actually wrote a brief analysis on my love mine all mine as a love song and breakup song. the feeling it invokes in me is second to none, what a beautiful song.

olivia rodrigo - lacy

sixpence none the richer - kiss me

jane remover - search party

searows - used to be friends

phoebe briders - moon song

iron & wine - flightless bird, american mouth

mazzy star - fade into you

sting - shape of my heart

yeule - software update

yeule - sulky baby

taylor swift - "slut!"

rachel chinouriri - maybe i'm lonely

emile mosseri - jacob and the stone

i actually listen to this song to fall asleep, but i can assure you that i also cry every time i watch those videos on the internet with this song playing in the background. it perfectly encapsulates a feeling of hope and loss. beautifully done. minari was a phenomenal as a (real) movie lover, i love when movies have tracks like this that so clearly stand out from the soundtrack and score.

movies 🎞️✮⋆˙

i haven't watched as many movies as i'd have liked in october, it has been an emotional month to say the least. but, now im on anti-depressants so our regularly scheduled slaying is back. movies will be rated a 1-5 star based on how much i enjoyed it! and NO NOT EVERY MOVIE IS FROM THIS YEAR OR EVEN THIS DECADE <3

talk to me (2022) ★★★★

pearl (2022) ★★★★

honorable mentions ˙˖°📷 ༘ ⋆｡˚

dead meat (james and chelsea constantly demonstrate a genuine love for horror and have recently been branching out to video games amidst the SAG strike! love them and their work so much, they have definitely made me into more of a horror movie buff)

wendigoon (i will listen to this man talk about anything, but he constantly raises the bar with how informed he is on topics. he just likes to talk abt weird shit and thats really neat idk)

supertf (ive been watching this guy for over 5 years he is still the funniest ow streamer out there sorry)

kyedae (she is rlly funny and even though valorant is boring to watch i watch her play mostly, however i LOVE when she does variety or horror its so funny how scared she gets)

jacksepticeye (watching him play spiderman 2 bc i don't own a ps5, BUT ALSO sean just has the best playthroughs of games like this. love his takes on the game!!)

mike's mic (olivia wilde nodding gif like if you get it you get it!)

valorant (playing occasionally as i am not very good, but i have alot of skins so yipee)

overwatch (i have 1600 hours in the game unfortunately. addiction is real guys)

fall guys (just recently started playing with my friends again, idk why anyone wouldnt want to play this its free and fun. theres a hatsune miku skin in the game like CMON)

- jane ⋆｡° ✮

[isaacathom]

for my own amusement, and bc i just said florian shouldve been a paladin, im gonna take my major ttrpg ocs and say which 5e subclass theyd be for each class, for fun. for vibes. some of them have canon for this already but lets vibe.

Naielle Odelia (DND 5E - Celestial Warlock)

Artificer - Probably Alchemist, due to the healing benefits suiting her. The alternative would be Artillerist, leaning into the Sylvian army's use of firearms.

Barbarian - lord. uh. christ. Ancestral Guardian or Storm Herald, depending on vibes. Storm Herald would particularly be doing Sea environment. AG has more of the support vibe im used to for her.

Bard - Lore. Lore. It's Lore. she's a fucking historian, of course its Lore.

Cleric - Light Cleric. I'd say Knowledge but her campaign has a knowledge cleric and its not quite the vibe.

Druid - Stars. Without question or contest.

Fighter - Arcane Archer. Can't really justify that i just think it suits her alright. she doesn't fit str-based builds like rune knight

Monk - Astral Self, OR Sun Soul. But probably Astral Self. i know thats not astral as in stars but its got the vibe for me.

Paladin - Devotion or Watchers. Paladins get so little in the way of subclass stuff tha its not that big a thing, but i think those are in her vibe space.

Ranger - Horizon Walker. yea.

Rogue - Inquisitive, or maybe Phantom.

Sorcerer - Divine Soul.

Warlock - Celstial (thats just canon)

Wizard - ,,, euuhhhh. Abjuration or Evocation. Maybe Conjuration.

Florian de Kasimir (TWTRPG - Man-at-Arms)

Artificer - Armorer. yeah. sure.

Barbarian - Berserker

Bard - Swords, or possibly Valor. Mostly Swords, though. he did strictly learn fencing at one point, which feels on brand

Cleric - War. yeaahh

Druid - oh god. uhhhhhh. this ones tough. Moon or Wildfire. Leaning Wildfire.

Fighter - Samurai. This is not the intuitive pick for him (that would be Champion, or BattleMaster), but i think it works for him. he's a very honorable sort. (this is his 5e conversion)

Monk - hmmmmm. Kensei, probably. Drunken Master, maybe.

Paladin - A couple of options here. Crown, Redemption, or Vengeance. I lean lightly to the latter two, and maybe specifically Redemption for certain thematic reasons

Ranger - Hunter. dunno what to tell ya

Rogue - ah, the stealthiest man alive. Swashbuckler. Maybe Scout, but probably Swashbuckler. just hit them.

Sorcerer - oh boy. Pure magic classes are complicated to assign to this guy (noted as the sole non-magic guy in his campaign by the end). Storm or Wild.

Warlock - NOT Hexblade, funnily enough. Undying. I've explored this before.

Wizard - see sorc. uhhhhhh Bladesinging, Evocation, or War. this is an awful class choice for him though

Zimri Maier (PF 1E - Magus)

Artificer - Battle Smith

Barbarian - Storm Herald

Bard - Notwithstanding the fact Charisma is Zimri's dump stat, Swords or Lore

Cleric - Knowledge. or Arcana or Tempest

Druid - not their vibe at all, which is weird for someone who turns into a bird. Land, either Forest or Mountain.

Fighter - Eldritch Knight OR Psi Warrior

Monk - ???? uhhh Four Elements or Kensei

Paladin - Glory, i think. Hard to say.

Ranger - ????? Beast Master? Hunter? Monster Slayer? truly unknowable.

Rogue - Arcane Trickster, or Inquisitive. maaaaaybe Soulknife

Sorcerer - Storm or Wild. Have i mentioned zimri does lightning magic

Warlock - Great Old One or Hexblade

Wizard - Bladesinging (Their 5e conversion uses this)

Devin Ellir (DND 5E - Inquisitive Rogue/Whispers Bard*)

Artificer - You've no idea how mad I am that Alchemist doesnt do poisons. truly, what the fuck. why isnt there a poison based artificer subclass. anyway, Artillerist.

Barbarian - lord. uh. Ancestral Guardian or Totem Warrior (Eagle)

Bard* - Whispers :) Despite the order listed above, this is actually her higher-level class, she's just a rogue first for reasons. (*She never actually hit a high enough level to use Whispers features)

Cleric - Trickery or Death.

Druid - oh boy. Spores or Moon, i think. Spores has a Vibe to it.

Fighter - uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . Psi Warrior, Eldritch Knight, or Echo Knight, in that order.

Monk - Long Death or Shadow.

Paladin - Conquest or Glory.

Ranger - Gloom Stalker or Fey Wanderer. I like the fey for her more theatrical vibes, and gloom for her machination shit

Rogue* - Inquisitive! That's canonc (*She never hit a high enough level to use any of the inquis features, lmao)

Sorcerer - Aberrant Mind or Shadow Magic! I like Aberrant, that seems fun. is her vibe coming across yet

Warlock - ooooh. great question. so many suit her here. Archfey or Great Old One, ill say. Maybe Geenie (Efreeti).

Wizard - I hate assigning Wizard subclasses. Enchantment or Illusion.

There are others (Calvyre Dusthar, a 5E Echo Knight/Trickery Cleric, or Viorica Dalca, a PF2E Spirit Instinct Barbarian) but at this point they got played only 3 or so times and its harder to define. waaa.

anyway out of that, most popular subclasses from my group at Artillerist Artificer, Ancestral Guardians + Storm Herald Barbarian, Lord + Swords Bard, no Cleric (no subclass more than once!!), Moon Druid, Eldritch Knight or Psi Warrior Fighter, Kensei Druid, Glory Paladin, Hunter Ranger, Inquisitive Rogue (with 3! wow), Storm + Wild Magic Sorcerer, Great Old One Warlock, and Evocation + Bladesinging Wizard. fun! :)
