Vasya is, technically, not a licensed therapist.

Based on a conversation my friend and I had in Discord one time. Vasya stands for me and for my friend I used her bugsona!

I bet Icarus is ganna think about the conversation they had with Rae a lot when they find out about Enderian's death, about how Enderian was trying to be a mom to Rae, was trying to be better, about how Rae almost had what Icarus had even if it was tainted,

About how their dad took even that chance from Rae, even if they hated Enderian, and probably would never stop, she was still something, for Rae.

about how once again they hurt Rae, about how they couldnt stop, becuase it couldn't be Fable's fault, how could it be? it was always Icarus's

AGH the pain of wanting to translate stuff into your conlang but having no text to translate

The random conversations I have

*me and @cosmicthestar having a silly argument over me watching fable angst, specifically user comm unreachable*

Cosmic: I WILL TAKE YOUR FABLE CARD

Me: NO

Cosmic: I WILL

Me: I WILL REPLACE YOUR EYES WITH RAMEN

Cosmic: WHAT?!

Ok actually-

Let’s get into it. Lost Fable Primetime is back on

What does Ozma take away from his experience being resurrected-murdered-resurrected again-murdered again by the Brothers Grimm?

Because this is a huge foundation of my read on Ozma as a character

What he comes away from that experience knowing is Fear

Fear of the gods of light and darkness, fear of their total control of life and death and fear of their indifference for the existential horror of being ragdolled between them in a godly squabble.

Fear of being in their hands. Again.

Fear of helplessness and inevitability, which he projects onto the Brothers Grimm.

This is only further cemented by what the gods do in reaction to human rebellion. Which is the total obliteration of the species.

Now, here is where I think a few folks are likely to disagree with me, but I think the lost fable doesn’t just put things into perspective for Oz by making him relive the whole terrible thing.

But actually, Ozma sees a few key events for the first time with his own eyes. Events that he’d only been told before and had to speculate on previously. (Events still skewed by his own perception of them)

Case in point, the events that played out after his first death, and then the subsequent aforementioned holy reconstitutions-incinerations.

The rise and fallout of Salem’s rebellion.

Oz is aware of the sequence of events, but the parts he was there for (resurrected-murdered-resurrected again-murdered again) he was understandably disoriented, afraid, and confused.

“Where am I? What is This?! WHERE AM I!?”

(It must have been like coming up for air after being under water, gasping for breath, opening your eyes for a second, and someone grabbing your hair and pushing you back under. Drowning.)

(That’s what the god of darkness and the god of light did to Ozma when they had their little feud over life and death after Salem’s prayer. Playing with Ozma’s soul like a tennis ball hit back and forth.)

Ozma wasn’t there for everything after that.

I don’t think Ozma doubted what Salem told him about the actions of the gods (he fully fucking believed her when she told him that they killed all the people of the world; the why is what’s murky for him) but seeing it?

Seeing the moonfall…

Is it any wonder that he runs from it all and locks himself away inside Oscar’s head after?

My man does not think they’re gonna make it. Ozma believes that the return of the gods is inevitable and the only way the people of Remnant survive is complete and total obedience to the gods and their fickle whims.

And Ozma knows that’s impossible.

🕊️ ooc. i cannot explain the chaos that todays session has been. dust bunnies with a wild magic table, a summoned unicorn, a party member with an evil alignment, 6 flumphs, 23 potted plants, a rogue levitate spell, a rogue firebolt, just to begin,

Me: You took the cat? The cat that was clearly an attempt at love-bombing you?

Mei: Yeah, it was shitty, but look at him! He's a lil guy! And hey, free cat.

Apologies if this was asked but is there a timeline of events for fable 3? We know it's 50 years after the spire but when would Logan and the hero have been born? I've wondered this since I finished it

Hello, Anon from the Old Kingdom, I wonder if you still follow fablefocus to this day and if so, years in the future from this message, I hope you are well.

There is nothing but a very approximate timeline of events I'm afraid, and even there sometimes the numbers don't match. I can tell you a couple of things we know for sure as canon about Logan:

•He was seen as a serious, just and benevolent ruler for most of his time as king.

•He lost his mind after travelling to Aurora 4/5 years prior to Fable 3's story and learning about the Crawler, gaining his reputation as a tyrant.

And one thing we know for sure about Sparrow:

•They were in their late 20s/early 30s when they left the Spire and, if alive during Fable 3, would have been in their ~80s.

The rest is, sadly, all speculation.

We could take the "most" in "most of his rule" as literal, meaning Logan could have reigned a good 10/11 years total. We know a person of any age can become monarch, but a monarch must be at least 18 to carry out duties, and thus assume Logan is currently at least 30 years old, meaning Sparrow could have been ~50 when he was born?

That's not great, but that's all we got.

so i asked the lu bots about trypanophobia-

it's interesting to see who's scared, who's brave, and who completely misreads the conversation (looking at you, sky and motivational!legend)

[the-sunshine-dims]

mmm; not to feed into the kaleidoscope thoughts but - M being the first one to get Quixis to actually talk to Rae (or just, someone in general, but probably Fen or Rae) in person. the first person person and not just God. it's a thought I hold very gently. (Malitae becomes a wingman but for friends and conversations real??)

my thoughts,, their so kaleidoscope

the way M would know just how to reassure Q, both hiding for so long, M not showing what they look like either, and so xe would understand so well, and they would know just how to back them up, in reference to the wack- and everything if need be, but their just there, there for Quixis.

Always am delighted seeing someone read SB94 but then I remember how dark and gross it is and I always wonder how much I... should say. Because right when you think it can't get worse it does.

for @fooleds

it feels uncharacteristically cruel for insoo to text fable about a potential date with someone else, but the mere idea of it makes their heart sink. it's not until the other texts come flooding in that they're pulled from their masochistic imagination and realize who he was talking about, and they—

well, they have to lie on the floor about it for a few minutes before they can respond.

[ sms -> 🫠 ]: .........that was about me? [ sms -> 🫠 ]: you wanna ask me on a date?

[cutest-bunny-writings]

I always laugh my ass off when people are like "your moles are where your lovers in passed lives kissed you" which is sometimes followed up by "so where's yours?"

Well, I can't show you some of them because I'll get charged for public indecency but other than that, I have the Big Dipper made out of freckles on my left shoulder.
