NEW RAVENWOOD LORE!! :D

so basically there's a point in the RP where Khalan gets seriously wounded and almost dies (not surprising lol), and Melvin in the last minute decides to give his blood in order to keep Khalan alive :'0 but obviously, Mel is Monster Man so his blood is Magic™ and it ends up having a lot of strange effects on Khalan over time.

one of the more positive things to come about as a result of this is that Khalan ends up getting!!! the cute little star freckles that Mel also has!!! :'D so he gets to match with his new father figure and that just gets my heart SO good;;

so yeah! I had to try drawing this concept, plus a mini "comic" of sorts where Mel notices the freckles for the first time, because the idea was just too precious to pass up :'0

Woe, Pony Town Oncelers be upon ye!! Plus more pony-ified versions with different coat colors ouo

The Onceler always struck me as an earth pony, maybe a mule? I considered giving him longer ears

Both bc of his farming background, in reference to Melvin, and for the idea of making your way to the top through sheer hard work and innovation, not having to rely on any fancy powers!

And he's just so cute- I like how you can see the brown part of his gloves when he lies down ouo

He EEPY, featuring messy wet hair

And the Biggering AU version has his fancy peacock wings!

Biggerler, the man himself! Featuring a little trick that makes it look like he's got those long curly coattails ouo

Also an earth pony! I think the greyscale look really fits him, and that dark marking between his eyes makes him look especially serious

(There is a shark plushie in Pony Town that I would've added in reference to Viktor, but it's one of the Halloween collectables I don't have yet :pensive:)

A note about his neck, you can make things the same color as the in-game grass to create the illusion of it being invisible! So it's like his head is floating ouo

Pony Bitter's got a light green coat with darker ends of his ears, a lighter snout, and mark on his forehead that may or may not be foreshadowing-

And I made him a unicorn! I like the idea that an infected unicorn's magic turns yellow and unstable, so I'm picturing him lashing out at someone and his horn sparks

Which would add extra emphasis to the idea that he's dangerous, and something needs to be done fast.

ROCKYYYYYY- Sporting his skull bandanna and the little star on his goggles and everything! A pegasus this time, since those kinds of classic rock songs tend to use wing imagery

And the markings make him look like a bird ouo

And his second outfit! I looove love love how he goes from a nice blue to this murky blue-green, with the markings turning dull. The fiery wings are a reference to this post!

And lastly, have pony Artic with a little Onceler plushie ouo

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Overlord

Oh boy!! I've been wanting to take a look at this for a long while!! And before anyone says "Wait, isn't this anime/manga super popular?" No, I'm not talking about the anime/manga isekai series. No, I'm talking about the video game that actually came out before that series, though they share the same name. Today, we'll be taking a look at... Overlord!

Overlord is a T-rated action roleplaying video game developed by Triumphant Studios and published by Codemasters. The game was initially released for PC and Xbox 360 on June 26th, 2007 in North America, June 29th of the same year in Europe, and July 6th of that same year in Australia. It would later be released for Playstation 3 on June 22nd of the following year in Europe, 24th in America, and July 3rd in Australia.

It would eventually be ported to Steam, as would its sequels and the DLC.

Taking place in an unnamed dark fantasy world, a being known only as "The Overlord" is revived by tiny gremlin-like creatures known as "Minions" who proclaim him to be their Master. Among the Minions is a particularly old and wise Minion known as "Gnarl", who serves as the advisor to the Overlord.

As for the plot, sometime prior to the events of the game, the previous Overlord was defeated by the Seven Heroes, who also destroyed and looted the Dark Tower, where the Overlord and his Minions reside. However, following their victory, the Seven Heroes have become corrupted, drunk off their fame and glory and began terrorizing the lands they once sought to save and protect. Melvin the Halfling fell to gluttony and began eating anything and everything, enslaving most of Mellow Hills to fulfill his endless appetite. Oberon the elf became to lazy to protect his home from the invading dwarves who either slaughtered or enslaved his people. And King Goldo the Dwarf enslaved as many elves as possible to work in the mines and expand his wealth.

The goal of the Overlord is to reclaim destroy the corrupted heroes, restore the Dark Tower, and reconquer the land and establish his lordship over the inhabitants. The Overlord must also search for the other Minion Hives, as to reclaim his lost Minions, having only just the Browns.

Much of the gameplay can be compared to Pikmin, as it mostly revolves around the Minions; holding the Left Trigger will lock the target on something, be it an object or enemy while the Right Trigger sends Minions to that object. Pressing the button sends one Minion while holding it sends multiple, however many so long as the button is held. Similarly, moving the Right Thumbstick up will sweep the Minions, allowing the player to specifically control their movements. Pressing Circle (PS3) or B (360) calls one Minion back at a time while holding the button calls all of them.

Pressing X (PS3) or A (360) will perform a basic attack combo while pressing Square (PS3) or X (360) will perform a spell, of which multiple kinds can be learned and cycled through with the D-Pad.

Similar to Pikmin, the player can harvest life force from defeated foes and creatures, but only a specific type of life force can be harvested for a specific type of Minion.

Brown Life Force grants Brown Minions; the starting Minions and best when it comes to combat. Red Life Force grants Red Minions; they aren't that strong, but are immune to fire and can throw fireballs, setting enemies on fire from a distance. Green Life Force grants Green Minions; slightly stronger than Reds, but if they remain still, they turn invisible, being able to perform devastating backstabs. They have poor hygiene, but are immune to poison. Blue Life Force grants Blue Minions; the weakest of all minions, but also the most magically adept and the only ones able to swim. They're the only ones who can harm magically-inclined beings and are even able to revive recently killed minions.

The overall tone of the game is rather satirical; the Seven Heroes who saved the world from evil were left with nothing to do afterwards and fell into the Seven Deadly Sins, basically becoming evil themselves. It's a dark, twisted comedy of typical fantasy stories. The game itself is also just plain comedic, mostly from how idiotic, yet charming the Minions are, or even just dialogue from the NPCs, such as the idiotic human villagers or the melancholic Elf ghosts/whiny emo Elf slaves. There's also a Jester Minion that the player is free to kick.

Now, as for my Final Recommendation: Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It

It's a dark comedy game where you play as the villain, outright destroying the (former) heroes. If I recall correctly, this game came out when many games were doing that "Good vs Evil player character" thing; Shadow the Hedgehog, Infamous, Prototype, etc. In those games, you would choose if the character was a hero or a villain. In this game, you ARE the villain.

Well... yeah, you are the villain, but you are still given choices to be either heroic or villainous; such as deciding whether to keep the food supply for yourself and the Minions or return it to the starving villages of Spree, save the huge sack of gold and doom the elves to extinction or save the last female elves but loose the gold. So by the end, you can be outright evil, or just a heroic guy who's supposed to be evil.

However, the game isn't perfect. It's rather heavy on the bloom and the Overlord's attacks are awkward and stiff. And I don't know if this is just me, but I sometimes had issues with Minions getting stuck behind walls and not coming out until I leave the section.

The game can also be somewhat punishing and overwhelming with managing different minions at once, especially in the early game. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often and you can sort of get used to it after a while.

I wasn't exactly sure how to place this in the main article, but you also get a "Mistress". Early in the game, you meet Rose, a human woman who's all about order and balanced, but is responsible and compassionate. Later, you meet her sister, Velvet, who is sultry and seductive, but only cares about money, wealth, and status. You can only pick one and depending who you pick, they'll upgrade two of your Minions.

I also want to mention that there are upgrades you can get. At the start of the game, you're pitifully weak in terms of both damage and defense, so you'll be relying heavily on your Minions when it comes to combat while you either stay out of the fray or just provide minor support. But by finding certain "Objects", you can increase your health and mana. Not to mention there's an Object that increases your max Minion Horde. You start off with only 5 minions (automatically going up to 10 very early in the game), but with enough Objects, the maximum raises to 35.

You can also craft and upgrade your weapons, armor, and helmet via the Forge. There are three different Smelters, each one making stronger gear. And depending on which Minions are sacrifices, those gears get certain buffs, with the exception of the helmets, of which all minions increase the Minion Horde size. For example, sacrificing Brown Minions for the weapon will increase the base damage, while sacrificing Green Minions will increase the Critical Hit damage.

I'm gonna tell you right now, just go with Browns for armor and weapon. Like I said, the helmet gives Horde size, no matter what Minions you sacrifice.

Also, the game got a DLC add-on known as "Raising Hell", which takes place immediately after the main game, in which the Overlord finds himself in the Infernal Abyss, which is basically Hell. When the game was ported to the PS3, the DLC was included as part of the release.

All-in-all, I say give it a try. As I said before, it's available on Steam, as is the Raising Hell DLC and the sequels. Well, with the exception of Minions (a DS game) and Dark Legends (Wii game). The last game in the series was Fellowship of Evil which... wasn't all that good. It was released in 2015, and there hasn't been a new game since. So yeah, Overlord 1 and 2. Ignore Fellowship of Evil.

Speaking of which, Overlord 2 does improve the gameplay, you're more overtly evil (the choices now being just what kind of evil are you), better combat, better comedy, and more personalities; especially from the Minions.

Well, I'll see you guys next month. And remember, evil always finds a way!

Bittersweet Books: Fiction Picks

The Scent of Burnt Flowers by Blitz Bazawule

When the windshield of his Chevy Impala shatters in a dark diner parking lot in Alabama, Melvin moves without thinking. A split-second reaction marrows in his bones from the days of war, but this time it is the safety of his fiance, Bernadette, at stake. Impulse keeps them alive, and yet they flee with blood on their hands. What is life like now that they are fugitives? Pack passports. Empty bank accounts. Set their old life on fire. The couple disguise themselves as a pastor and a reluctant pastor's wife who's hiding a secret from her fiance. With a persistent FBI agent on their trail, they travel to Ghana to seek the help of Melvin's old college friend who happens to be the country's embattled president, Kwame Nkrumah. The couple's chance encounter with Ghana's most beloved highlife musician, Kwesi Kwayson, who's on his way to perform for the president, sparks a journey full of suspense, lust, magic, and danger as Nkrumah's regime crumbles around them. What was meant to be a fresh start quickly spirals into chaos, threatening both their relationship and their lives. Kwesi and Bernadette's undeniable attraction and otherworldly bond cascades during their three-day trek, and so does Melvin's intense jealousy. All three must confront one another and their secrets, setting off a series of cataclysmic events. Steeped in the history and mythology of postcolonial West Africa at the intersection of the civil rights movement in America, this gripping and ambitious debut merges political intrigue, magical encounters, and forbidden romance in an epic collision of morality and power.

The Next Thing You Know by Jessica Strawser

As an end-of-life doula, Nova Huston’s job—her calling, her purpose, her life—is to help terminally ill people make peace with their impending death. Unlike her business partner, who swears by her system of checklists, free-spirited Nova doesn’t shy away from difficult clients: the ones who are heartbreakingly young, or prickly, or desperate for a caregiver or companion. When Mason Shaylor shows up at her door, Nova doesn’t recognize him as the indie-favorite singer-songwriter who recently vanished from the public eye. She knows only what he’s told her: That life as he knows it is over. His deteriorating condition makes playing his guitar physically impossible—as far as Mason is concerned, he might as well be dead already. Except he doesn’t know how to say goodbye. Helping him is Nova’s biggest challenge yet. She knows she should keep clients at arm’s length. But she and Mason have more in common than anyone could guess… and meeting him might turn out to be the hardest, best thing that’s ever happened to them both.

Monster in the Middle by Tiphanie Yanique

When Fly and Stela meet in 21st Century New York City, it seems like fate. He's a Black American musician from a mixed-religious background who knows all about heartbreak. She's a Catholic science teacher from the Caribbean, looking for lasting love. But are they meant to be? The answer goes back decades--all the way to their parents' earliest loves. Vibrant and emotionally riveting, Monster in the Middle moves across decades, from the U.S. to the Virgin Islands to Ghana and back again, to show how one couple's romance is intrinsically influenced by the family lore and love stories that preceded their own pairing. What challenges and traumas must this new couple inherit, what hopes and ambitions will keep them moving forward? Exploring desire and identity, religion and class, passion and obligation, the novel posits that in order to answer the question "who are we meant to be with?" we must first understand who we are and how we came to be.

Bitter Orange Tree by Jokha Alharthi, Marilyn Booth (Translator)

The eagerly awaiting new novel by the winner of the Man Booker International Prize, Bitter Orange Tree is an extraordinary exploration of social status, wealth, desire, and female agency. In prose that is at once restless and profound, it presents a mosaic portrait of one young woman’s attempt to understand the roots she has grown from, and to envisage an adulthood in which her own power and happiness might find the freedom necessary to bear fruit and flourish. Bitter Orange Tree tells the story of Zuhur, an Omani student at a British university who is caught between the past and the present. As she attempts to form friendships and assimilate in Britain, she reflects on the relationships that have been central to her life. Most prominent is her bond with Bint Amir, a woman she has always thought of as her grandmother, who passed away just after Zuhur left the Arabian Peninsula. Bint Amir was not, we learn, related to Zuhur by blood, but by an emotional connection far stronger. As the historical narrative of Bint Amir’s challenged circumstances unfurls in captivating fragments, so too does Zuhur’s isolated and unfulfilled present, one narrative segueing into another as time slips, and dreams mingle with memories.

Featured Post: Do You Believe in Magic | Book 1 by Jim Melvin

About Do You Believe in Magic | Book 1: Recommended Review by Kirkus Reviews (top 25% of Indie books): "A delightful beginning to a promising series that’s sure to appeal to teen readers who feel like outsiders." — Kirkus Reviews, October 2024 The winner of 11 international awards. In this exciting and enchanting fantasy novel, readers are invited to journey into a world where magic is not merely a fairy tale but a powerful reality. This gripping story revolves around an everyday boy leading an ordinary life until a chance encounter transforms his world forever. Suddenly, faced with inexplicable happenings and being able to perform magical feats, Charlie grapples to understand his newfound abilities. Little does he know, he has become central to a battle between forces beyond his comprehension, a war underway in the invisible realms around him. Book 1 of the teen fantasy adventure "Dark Circles" explores the timeless human question – do you believe in magic? – in a context that feels entirely fresh and unpredictable. It takes readers on a fantastic adventure, filled with wit, mystery, action, and a touch of romance to tie it all together. Targeted Age 13 and older Written by: Jim Melvin Buy the ebook: Buy the Book On Amazon Link to Series Buy the Audio Book: Buy the Book On Amazon Buy the Print Book: Buy the Book On Amazon Author Bio: I grew up on the shores of western Florida and spent much of my childhood swimming in shark-infested waters long before the movie Jaws put a scare into everyone. At the time, I was too skinny to attract a shark’s attention. About ten other boys my age lived on my same street, and we hung out morning, noon, and night playing the usual sports that young boys love — football, baseball, “kill the carrier,” etc. — but as a group, we also played fantastical games that contained magic, monsters, and superheroes. It was in this setting that my imagination as a writer of magical fantasy was born and nurtured. I moved from Florida to Upstate South Carolina about twenty years ago and drove from Tampa-St. Pete to the Clemson area on Interstate 75 many times. It’s about a 10-hour drive, which is quite wearisome. And the traffic around Atlanta can be horrendous. I’ve always found the rest stops to be a bit spooky, especially at night. My MC Charlie Magus also found them to be spooky. If you read Do You Believe in Magic?, you’ll get the picture. My first home in SC was on forty wooded acres that included a creek that wound through a forest to a waterfall. It wasn’t as magnificent as described in my books 😀, but it did serve as the inspiration for the story. I am at home in the mountains. It’s where I now live, and I do long hikes at least three days per week. Characters in fantasy novels tend to wander around a lot in the wilderness, so I feel comfortable writing about natural surroundings. I have written “Dark Circles” with young teens in mind. I tell potential readers that it is appropriate for 13 and older, though readers as young as 10 and as old as 80 have enjoyed it. When I say appropriate, I mean that there are no sex scenes and only very limited profanity. But like most epic fantasies, the series has its violent moments — sort of like the later Harry Potter books. But just because a series is appropriate for young teens doesn’t mean that it has to be sophomoric. To the contrary, “Dark Circles” is a sophisticated work with a lot going on between the lines in terms of themes, allegorical elements, symbolism, foreshadowing, literary tropes, etc. My newsletter (Jim Melvin’s Realms of Fantasy) goes into extensive depth about this. Some of the themes in my series are obvious: bullying, good vs. evil, coming of age, heroism. But in the end, the most important theme of all is the idea that only the best among us are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good — the literary equivalent of a soldier throwing himself on a hand grenade.

Magic Main verse : [ 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 ] : sender and receiver are having sex to reduce stress.

Shared breaths of pleasure could be heard from Chris's living room. Little laughs and gasps of surprise were sprinkled in between the sounds of kissing. Chris Luna found his close friend,Melvin, gridning against his lap. Not a single thread of clothing could be found on either witch.

To think this started with a sigh.

Life had become quite busy for the two young witches. Melvin had a book of poems due soon. Chris had taken to staging at a few local restaurants and his schedule had began to get full. Neither had any time for themselves and had began to get a little pent up as a result. During a small hang out, the duo shared a joint and some laughs.

When the question of lovers came up, Chris bashfully admitted it had been a while since he had a bedroom romp. Maybe it was the weed? Maybe it was some hidden attraction? Both more than likely. One thing lead to another, another being a suggestion of a certain kind of friendship that could get rid of the stress of life.

One smooch later and a strip tease later, Chris found himself lost within Melvin. Smitten purple hues met Melvin's eyes for a moment, his hands wrapped around his waist. A matching dark violet aura filled the room, providing a bit of ambiance for their shared song.

"Ya know," Chris sighed blissfully, "This was a good idea. I love cuties with smart ideas~"

ooooh this seems fun; gonna add onto this with one fact about Khalan from the three different stories he's involved in :0

In Home Is Where You Are, Khalan is actually only 17 years old and didn't quite reach his 18th birthday before he was cursed with immortality. He lies about his age and pretends that he's 18 in order to be considered a legal adult within Atria so he can care for Aya.

Within the Ravenwood RP, Melvin's involvement in Khalan's life as a father figure unintentionally pushes Khalan into a really bad mental state; one where he refuses to confront the memory of his own dad so he can finally lay him to rest and accept Melvin as a new father. This mental state spirals to the point where Khalan begins to hallucinate, and he eventually starts to believe that Jal's ghost is coming back to haunt him in order to punish him for what happened in the past. (this does get dealt with eventually, it's just... a really bad situation overall, rip)

On a much brighter note, one of Khalan's favorite songs in Codename: IRIS is Streaming Heart by DECO*27. He has a bit of a crush on the particular Hatsune Miku module that is used for the Project DIVA music video, though he obviously denies it when Aya calls him out on it, haha. the lyrics of the song don't really matter to him, but he loves the sound and the super edgy aesthetic. because he's 13 lol.

BONUS FACT!! this time for Antony instead: The tunic that he was gifted upon becoming a demigod is basically magic and can be replaced or summoned at any point, should anything happen to it. He never has to worry about losing it or the fabric getting destroyed, as he can always just conjure up a new one at will. super convenient! ;u;

(Aya Armas and Melvin Darke belong to @cookieg122 and @baskervilleshound, respectively)

This is your politically avoidant sign to reblog and put a fun fact about your OCs in the tags or reblogs! Share something you want an excuse to talk about, something silly, a song they'd like, or something to devastate a really specific person who's overinvested in them! Go crazy!!
