#d&dorks: the symmetry war

[dark-nimbus]

The poor dude just needs a break. Preferably with his child and all the Party of Chaos members

The first meeting with Polnaros just stuck in my mind so much that I decided to try and draw something for like the first time ever. Still not totally satisfied with how parts of this turned out, but I got the important aspects, so it’s good

Aldor: Honestly, fuck him!

Callisto: …

Callisto: Is that an order?

Fuck it, D&Dorks time. 

Okay so genuinely, The Absence being a kid is so fucked up in the best way possible. Like Sir Superhero said that The Absence was a kid of indeterminate gender, and (correct me if I’m wrong) around 8-ish which like. Okay. 

Imagine you’re this kid. You’re somewhere between the ages of eight and ten, probably. I mean 8-ish could be anywhere from a tall 6-year old to a 12 year old who’s hitting puberty late, but considering that this kid did find one of the god thrones (and because they were described as being ‘around eight’) I’m going to assume eight years as my lower limit, and guesstimate around ten-ish as an upper limit, all things considered. anyway.

Imagine going on some kind of whirlwind adventure in the chaos realm, full of fantastical things, probably, and finding a throne, sitting on it and then suddenly.

Nothing.

Nobody can remember you. Even if you talk to them even if you ask them to remember you, they just can’t. And this would be horrid enough for an adult, but you’re a kid. You’ve probably never been on your own before, you’ve never really had to go for long periods of time without someone around to take care of you. You are at an age where you actually need a lot of socialization with peers in order to not get, y’know, profoundly fucked in the head. 

And this goes on for millennia. It goes on for so long that you forget your own name, you forget who you were before you were the God of Secrets.

This goes on until you find a party of adventures who come to figure out what the fuck is going on with a city that is suffering because someone broke a pact with you except surprise surprise the entire party except this one old blind dude are gods. Fledgeling gods. (Well okay no it goes on until this one dude comes and asks you to take care of the party of fledgeling gods, but lets not split differences)

And then suddenly, one of them remembers you. They give you a name that isn’t just The Absence. One of them, for some fucking reason, is lecturing you about safety and personal space like they’re your mother or something.  

Like god damn no wonder Skeezvol got stolen as soon as Emmy realized that he did, in fact remember them. Isolation does shit to you, and they’ve been isolated in the most concrete sense for a long time.

also it is so fucking on brand that the ‘Kid NPC’ that this party adopted is both technically older than all of them and is also probably more powerful than all of them

The Helio Headcanon

D&dorks are my life at the moment

so i made a lengthy (and growing) headcanon about one character we meet in the season 2 finale. Emerald.

So yeah, this is the helio headcanon for emerald from d&dorks symmetry war: Godforce/Backspace

emerald is actually genderfluid while emmy is agender because their gender identity changed and grew with time. And emerald finds it freeing to be able to kind of....fluidly be.

Also emerald is seen as the face of the Backspace council despite not wanting to. like, they're a loner first and foremost but people seem to cling to them.

this emerald named themselves after being named something else...did some quick research. this emerald uses the name emerald with the newcomers since that's the most common name emmy's take on. While This emerald can create Heliodor gemstones and so they use the name Helios.

in the begining they didn't have a name, cuz the godcursed didn't care much for them and the first glib called them emerald because he had an emmy he lost and Helio was like, okay with the name, but grew resentful, because it wasn't THEIR name, it was the name of someone else that they were given for looking like them and the name doesn't even RELATE to them as it should seeing as they CAN'T make emeralds

and so they went to a SG, since they're the god of wealth and asked them WHAT the gems they can make are. the Sg looked at them, quickly responded with a string of words, with the only one that stood out was Heliodor (they listed off the properties, that they're in the same gem family as emeralds etc.)

and so the big boss emerald got their name. Helio (or Helios/heliod/heliodor, but more often Helio)

ANOTHER THING

looking at my other headcanon. emmy's physical age is what they feel like/their mental age at the moment and not an accurate reflection of how long they lived

WHAT IF HELIO- and hear me out. Didn't get to be a kid. Like, godcursed got them, they got to backspace/created backspace, and emerald had to help lead it. No time to be a teen, to grow.

they had to skip it. No Kid-Preteen-Teen-Young Adult-Adult just Kid-Adult+leader of a growing community A load of responsibility just dropped on their shoulders like a ton of bricks
