Tumblr Games: OC Deep Dive

Thank you so much for the tag, @captain-kraken. You can find the clean template beneath.

I decided that I will do this for Bianca Moore, my protagonist in my passion project. She is the daughter of Asmodeus, the hellish Prince of Lust.

This is an OPEN Tag.

Content Warning (Alphabetical): Abandonment, body horror, death, experimentation, graphic violence, manipulation, misophonia, obsession, overbearing relationships, past trauma, physical injury, possessiveness, self-sacrifice, skinned alive, trauma-induced behavior.

What common/uncommon fear do they have?

Bianca had witnessed the death of two mates at the hands of her father, Asmodeus. Due to this, she is afraid of abandonment. It is this fear that pushes her to support her S/O's antagonistic actions to end the world.

Do they have any pet peeves?

She has a couple of things that she considers pet peeves. People who are overly cheerful, slurps their noodles, and mindlessly confirms are high up on that list. It could be said that she has a slight form of misophonia.

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

She has black silk curtains, a black comforter and red sheets, and a modern circular, white vase with red roses sitting on the bed-stand next to her side of the bed.

What do they notice first in a person?

As Bianca has enhanced senses, she notices someone's scent. In Fantasy Worlds Collide, every animal and planet has an unique scent attributed to them. Angels / Demons can sense these underlying smells.

On a scale from 1-10, how high is their pain tolerance?

Before Asmodeus awakened her celestial and infernal blood, her pain tolerance was around a 5. Seeing as her wings were concealed by her skin and they sort of burst from her body, it became around a 7 or 8. She almost died at his hands twice.

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

This evolved over the years. When she was younger, she was taught that the correct response was flight. During her 20s, her 1st guardian was teaching her how to defend herself and control her powers, allowing her to become confident in those abilities but she froze in danger. By the time that she was captured by humans and experimented upon, she was fully able to fight. During her escape, she slaughtered several infantry men, scientists, and super soldiers, showing that her natural instinct was always to fight.

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

Bianca's father sired the incubi, so she comes from a huge family. However, she never met any of them, as Asmodeus is the antagonist in FWC. She is a family person. She wants to marry and have a child or two but is hesitant.

What animal represents them best?

As Bianca is intensely devoted, loyal, and a bit mysterious, the animal that represents her the best is a raven. Bianca has a love for ancient texts and forbidden knowledge, which is usually represented in such an animal.

What is a smell they dislike?

Bianca has a dislike for anything that is overly artificial. She has enhanced senses, such as a sense of smell. Synthetic floral perfumes will often overstimulate her senses and give her a migraine.

Have they broken any bones?

Throughout all of her life, she has been subjected to injuries that would kill a normal person. Her father almost skinned her alive to awaken her celestial and infernal blood. There was a scientist, Diana, in another universe that ended up infusing her with alien DNA and experimented upon her. All angelic beings, including fallen angels, have almost instant healing abilities. She was visected by Diana, which means her ribs were broken, etc. When she arrived on Gaia from her original world, she fell through a cosmic portal after she was injured by her father. Her right wing had a compound fracture.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

A stranger would, most likely, find Bianca charming. She can be very manipulative if it means furthering her goals. However, if the stranger is a threat to her or her significant other, Bianca is often mysterious, intimidating, and cold. Due to her duality, her presence can be both captivating and unsettling.

Are they a night owl, or morning bird?

Bianca is a night owl. She prefers the twilight hours and will usually use these hours to go about her duties in protecting her significant other's regenerating body, study, and sometimes just taking a stroll through the desolate landscape she lives in with the dark dragon that had become her protector.

What’s a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

Bianca has no love for sweet foods. She hates foods like donuts, but one of the flavors that she absolutely hates specifically is caramel. On the other hand, Bianca loves savory foods. She loves steak, especially when it is 'blue' and mash potatoes with lots of gravy.

Do they have any hobbies?

She likes to study ancient texts, explore dark and mysterious worlds, craft artifacts, compose poetry, and star gaze. One of her favorite activities is to spar with her significant other, learning how to master her powers as the harbinger of the Omniverse. She still has a way to go for that.

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprise?

Bianca had a very traumatic childhood and young adulthood. She hates surprises and will likely react with a mix of annoyance. If the surprise party is thrown by someone she is close with, she will begrudgingly appreciate the gesture but would rather them to skip the surprise part of the party.

Do they like to wear jewellery?

No. She does not wear jewelry. She never seen the point of it and would rather wear clothing that will help her live in the landscape that she is currently living in or a ribbon for her hair which was given to her before her significant other lost himself to madness.

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

As she grew up on the run from the cult devoted to her father, Bianca tries to be precise in everything she does. She loves calligraphic. Her handwriting is neat and meticulous, showcasing the need to be in control in everything she does.

What are the two emotions they feel the most?

Bianca experiences obsessive devotion and determination. She is very loyal and relentless in her pursuit of her goals and her significant other. She is not afraid to manipulate and give up her very identity for him if it meant that she will succeed in making him a god.

Do they have a favourite fabric?

Bianca loves fabrics like silk against her skin. As Asmodeus is her father who is the Prince of Lust, she loves fabrics that highlights her form, teasing her silhouette to others. Her favorite silks tend to be dark in color or those that fit her color scheme: silver and black. She is also partial to shiny leather.

What kind of accent do they have?

Bianca has a slow, sultry voice. There's a huskiness to it when she talks. Her cadence is very deliberate as she is always in control of the conversation. The accent is very neutral but is refined. The best description of it would be like Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

FF6 Artober Day 19: Hope

We all know the scene where Celes finds the bird on the beach, it is carrying Locke’s bandana. But how did the bandana get ON the bird? I like to think that Locke found it, saw it’s wing was injured, healed it with magic, then wrapped his bandana around its wing to set it in place.

It’s already canon that Locke is kind to animals. After the disaster at Thamasa with Kefka, when the squad is gathered around Leo’s grave, Interceptor walks in and is limping. Locke kneels next to him then says “this’ll have to do”, implying that he bandaged him up.

So now it’s the World of Ruin and everyone everywhere is suffering, and one little bird is lying broken on a street corner and no one cares. He’s all puffed up and looking for a quiet place to die. But Locke cares. He takes the time and effort to nurse Bird back to health, even using his bandana to keep that wing steady. And that little act of kindness creates a domino effect— it is what leads Celes to believe that Locke is still alive, and maybe others too, and maybe hope is not lost after all.

Moral of the story! Be kind to birds!

(Unrelated but this exact thing happened to me and my husband, we found an injured bird etc, and now that bird is our sigil, very special deep meaning)

Character interview tag!

Thanks @thatuselesshuman for the tag!

Today’s game is a set of questions that I answer from my characters POV.

My questions

If you could choose between a hero and a villain, what would you be?

What do you fear the most?

Do you believe in happy endings?

Your questions

Have you ever been in love?

What is your least favorite thing in the world?

What is your pet peeve?

OPTIONAL

Would you rather have unlimited bacon, but no games, or games, unlimited games, but no games?

I’ll have Res, Nelios, and Salazar answer these!

1. If you could choose between a Hero and a Villain, what would you be?

Res - I’d like to think I’m a hero in some sense. Stopping people who hurt others, that’s gotta be worth something, right?

Nelios - I’d rather be a hero. I do want to do good, even if DAD keep making me do stupid shit

Salazar - What a daft question. I am a hero.

2. What do you fear the most?

( I think the answer to this question changes based on what point in the story you ask these characters, so I’m gonna go with midway through How Our World Ended )

Res - Losing Lyra, it would be too much like- well, that’s not important. Losing her would hurt me to my core. I don’t think I could do that again

Nelios - Failing Celu. As much faith as I have, I do wonder if I’m not good enough for her grace.

Salazar - Betrayal.

3. Do you believe in happy endings?

Res - Yeah, as much as life’s been terrible to me, I really think it’ll turn out okay. I think there’s always a chance for a happy ending

Nelios - Yes, that’s a big part of my beliefs. I think those who do good will be rewarded by Celu and taken into the afterlife

Salazar - For me? No. I am but a stepping stone for fairness to prevail, and I do not think I will live to see it reach its potential.

TAG LIST, let me know if you want to be added or removed!

( note 2. I think I also have a few of these built up, so I’m also gonna not spam tags for those! )

How about… Narnia x Elden Ring?

So I’ve been working on a Narnia x Elden Ring crossover. Basically it’s the lands and world buildings that align in my story and not the plots. The plot is Narnia’s I just brought Elden ring into it. Why? I don’t know, just enjoy my ideas ig 🤣

| • The World Build •|

~☀️ THE SUN OF NARNIA ☀️~

The Sun of Narnia was created by Aslan by the moment the land was created. Because in Narnia, everything radiates magic, sun is the Amber of the golden sunshine and the magic that blesses people.

The sun radiates the golden sacred magic that holds hope, protection and peace and it is only possibly inheritable by humans blessed with the touch of Anynsian, a royal family known as the "Golden Order", and used from the species of elves and angels. Therefore, the elves and angels live under the care of the Golden Order's leaders, and obey only one particular king.

~ INFORMATION ~

• The Protector

For the power and amber of the sun to be protected and be handled with wisdom, Aslan gave the sun to a spirit for it's protection, a fallen queen named Anynsian. Anynsian never revealed her true face to people and she was only seen as a golden sunlight shaped woman with wings.

The power of sunshine is strictly shared only in those who obey the Golden Order, therefore royals, servants, elves or angels. The knowledge is known amongst them and them only. But the ruler, king or queen who sits on the throne of the Golden Order, holds this power to it's greatest power, through two weapons. The magic elven crown and the crystal angel sword can be used and held only by the royal blood descendants of the Golden Order. The rest magic of the sun can be shared in minimum forms, in weapons and in the planting charismas of the elves.

• Birth of Narnia

Aslan offers the Sun to Narnia and entrusts it's guard to an immortal guardian named Anynsian, shining lightning female figure with golden wings, whom face was never seen by anyone. From the moment Anynsian appears in Narnia, she creates her own people, under her protection and blessing, the "Golden Order". With her light and wisdom, she attracted the faith of the two most powerful species Aslan had brought: The elves and angels. Aslan suspected that the elves and angels would want to claim more power and lands for themselves causing conflicts and deaths, but Anynsian showed them her blessing, the meanings of peace and unity and which drew their attention. From this day forward their faith to her was an unbreakable sacred oath.

The Golden Order's followers is spread throughout all Narnia but their main fortresses, their royal capital and lands are in northern Narnia, in the region of Altus Plateau. Their capital is later placed there, known as the royal capital of Leyndell. Some elves and angels also find their own special safe place, the Tall Tree, Elphael which is controlled and protected by the Golden Order.

The first queen that held the blessing of Anynsian and first leader of the Golden Order, was Queen Marika. She was the one who established the rules and protocols of the Golden Order. People said that her rules were strict and unforgiving but Marika let it be known that ruling powerful species and a sacred light was not easy.

The Golden Order kept gaining power in Narnia for ages. No one would dare to challenge the powerful army and the highly guarded city of Leyndell. But this bright and sacred legacy lasted only for 9 total centuries.

The Last King of the Golden Order was King Lamenor, who reigned with his queen, Eneleÿn. The two of them managed to have heirs as well, two children, Prince Pedrian and Princess Eilowny.

There was a night when a powerful fire sorceress named Verthier, attacked Leyndell with her army and loyal dragons in order to claim the golden magic she craved and was forbidden to claim. Her attack burned the royal capital to the ground and thousands of elves and angels lost their lives. The king and queen trying to defend their people, used their weapons against the witch, with the power of Anynsian herself within, which lead to their death. The two children were saved by Aslan and sent elsewhere, in safety. No one has heard of them since. But Verthier managed to survive and there were rumors that she was imprisoned somewhere, where no one could find her.

The Golden Order was no more but Anynsian, with the help of Aslan, protected and hid the remaining elves and angels in the tree of Elphael.

When the "Golden Age" started in the east, conflicts between High King Peter and another powerful sorceress, Rawena caused her to avenge them and cast a spell in the oceans, that would block their trade and access. It was a spell known as the "Green Mist" and although it was not Rawena's creation she used it to spread fear and desperation to the Lone Islands, as a revenge to High King Peter.

Along with the Lone Islands, Anynsian was trapped and locked way by the magic spell. To save herself and her order, Anynsian decided to freeze the time of her existence, fall into a deep slumber and keep the elves and angels locked away in Elphael, until the spell will break.

Anynsian is still slumbering deeply behind the Green mist and still awaits for the time that the rightful heirs of the Golden Order shall return and lead them.

                  ~TIMELINES~

Creation:

• The Sun is Given to Queen Anynsian, for protection. 

• The Council of the Five Sorcerers who came from another world in Narnia, Jadis, Verthier, Rawena, Emyr and Freya is created in the North.

204:

• The Golden Order Family is Created, with the first queen placed being Marika, in the palace of Leyndell ruling the elves and angels.

• Verthier, the fire sorceress is the one who seeks to learn the secrets of the golden order's magic. But when Queen Marika refused and Verthier sought war, she was banished with the whole mages council, in the north.

898:

•The Witch sisters, Jadis and Verthier return from the North to Narnia.

900:

• The Witches Sisters invade Narnia.

• Verthier invades Altus Plateau and the Leyndell Castle. King Lamenor and Queen Eneleÿn sacrifice themselves to protect the Golden Order. Aslan sends Prince Pedrian and Princess Eilowny to our world for safety and they disappear from Narnia.

• The Crimson Witch, Verthier is imprisoned.

Anynsian and her Magic are locked away behind a dark spell by Rawena in the Lone Islands.

• The elves and angels are sent to the Tall Tree of Elphael to keep living and recreating for the next centuries.

🌙 THE MOON OF NARNIA 🌙

  The Moon of Narnia was created by Aslan by the time the land was created. Because in Narnia, everything radiates magic, all kind of stars and moon are the Amber of the cosmos and the magic that is shared throughout people's blood, shaped in magical talent. The magic is the skyline's magic that hold intelligence, wisdom and dreams and it is allowed to be used by chosen humans, the known astral sorcerers in Narnia.

~INFORMATION~

• The Protector

  For the power of the moon to be protected, Aslan gave the sun responsibility to a spirit witch named Ranni. Ranni was a spirit to begin with but she put herself into a tall doll's body made out of blue wax, dressed in white clothes and four total hands. Aslan knew that Ranni was stern and very consistent to her oaths and beliefs but he trusted her wisdom and judgment.

By the creation of the sorcerers, a new kingdom was created to rule them all and to put magic in order. It was the "Carian Royal Family".

  Because the power of the skies is not dangerous to begin with it, if it is learned to be controlled properly, it is shared throughout many narnian sorcerers by birth. And the power is given in higher radiation to the royal descendants of the Carian Royal Family, the leaders of magic.

The magic is held by a special number of people but can only be learned properly in the Academy of Raya Lucaria. It can only be used with staffs made out of wood and the right gems.

  The leader of the Carian Royal Family, is carrying a particular special powerful sceptre specially designed to empower them with the help of Ranni the Witch.

The skyline's magic was vast and widely spread in Narnia and after centuries of searching and studying they ended up separate them in three categories: Glinstone Magic, Carian Royal Family's Magic and Night Magic.

Glinstone magic is the power of the stars in every sorcerer's blood and all of them are learned in the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

Carian Royal Family's Magic is the radiation of the very moon embodied in the spectral forms of swords and weapons, known by the Carian royals and other mages who wish to be warriors as well. Carian magic is known to be also used by the forsworn knights.

The night Magic is a matter of enigma in Narnia. Like the power of glinstone they embedded the power of the stars but it is rather the hidden and night stars of darkness. There were mages who practiced it and learned it but the spell itself was forbidden in the Academy. The masters of night magic never taught their arts in the Academy but were moved to other cities and regions to practice it, often pointed out as "heretics".

•Birth of Narnia

  Aslan gives the Moon to Narnia and entrusts it's guard to an immortal witch named Ranni. Ranni embeds her power in humans and also shapes her own kingdom, under her guard, the "Carian Family". She shapes a a generation of sorcerers, blessed by the skylight. The magic is spread throughout all Narnia but their main fortress and grounds are in Middle West Narnia, in the Academy of Raya Lucaria and the royal city of Caria Manor.

  The first queen that held the blessing of Ranni and the lead of the Carian Family, was Queen Rennala. Rennala herself created the laws and the books of the astral magic and then established the Academy of Raya Lucaria in the centre of Liurnia for all of the sorcerers to study in.

The Last formal King of the Golden Order was King Edgar, but it was well known that royal blood descendants were spread throughout all of Narnia and that the magic descendants were living through for centuries even when the Caria Family was no more.

  After Narnia fell into the 100 year winter, the Carian royal family remained safe until the land was attacked, separated and was sent away throughout all Narnia by two powerful mages of the council, Emyr and Freya. The two of them sinked the lands of Liurnia in a flooding zone, where houses and villages sunk down. Even though the royal family was no more, the descendants and mages kept living on.

  Ranni, with her own will, protected and hid the sorcerers in the remaining lands of Liurnia and in the lone islands of the ocean. She sealed the Academy of Raya Lucaria away and she limited the entrance, only to the born mages that can learn magic.

  Caria Manor was eventually conquered by pirates (Telmarines) and Ranni still awaited for years, for the last royal descendant of the Carian Family, to show up and take up the responsibility of ruling Caria.

Ranni was so self disappointed with her inability to protect her people and her tears shaped the first legendary "Moontree", the most beautiful and rare tree in Narnia that grows with the tears of powerful sorceress. Ranni oath swore with this tree that the next person who will manage to shape a Moontree, either royal or poor, either graceful or malign she would rise them as the upcoming ruler of Caria Manor, to continue the generation. No matter what she would have to sacrifice Ranni still awaits for the new Moontree to rise...

        ~TIMELINES~

Creation:

• The Moon is Given to Ranni the Witch for protection

• The Council of the Five Sorcerers who came from another world in Narnia, Jadis, Verthier, Rawena, Emyr and Freya is created in the North.

204:

So yeah. That’s it :)

Title: The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee Author: Ellen Oh Genres: Contemporary, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance Pages: 305 Publisher: Crown Books for Young Readers Review Copy: eARC provided via NetGalley Availability: Available now

Summary: Mina has become the hero of her own story. Literally.

When Mina Lee woke up on Saturday morning for SAT prep, she did NOT expect

Nearly be fried by a superhero who turned out to be a supervillain.

Come face to face with Jin, the handsome boy of her dreams.

Discover a conspiracy involving the evil corporation Merco that she created.

And it’s all happening in her fictional world. Mina is trapped in the story she created. Now it’s up to her to save everyone. Even if it means losing Jin forever.

From the award-winning author of Finding Junie Kim and co-founder of We Need Diverse Books, Ellen Oh. In the speculative fiction adventure Colliding Worlds, a teenage artist grapples with her first love, grief, and learning how to take charge of her own life.

Review: [The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee contains scenes describing human medical experimentation that, while not graphic, could be unsettling for some readers. Grief is also a present theme, as Mina’s mother’s died three years ago, and the Jin in the webcomic is based on a childhood friend who died of cancer.]

If you’ve ever enjoyed a webcomic where a “real world” person ends up in a fantasy world, you should give The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee a chance. It’s a solid example of the genre while still being able to have a bit of fun with the medium itself through meta moments like Mina realizing that something big will almost definitely happen at a school dance—just because it’s a school dance, and she’s in webcomic set at a high school. A lot of tropes, events, and characters get played straight or played around with in entertaining ways, and I enjoyed Mina’s lampshading throughout.

Mina and Jin were the stars of the book, and they had a sweet, sincere webcomic romance. I enjoyed their banter and their teamwork, and Mina was a lot of fun as a narrator. I liked watching her figure out how her powers worked as the webcomic’s creator, and her commentary on genre conventions and other meta gave the story a lot of flavor. Much of the supporting cast was fairly simple, though, and I do wish there had been more time to flesh them out—especially the character that was supposed to be the hero before Mina arrived in the webcomic world.

I would consider The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee to fall on the younger end of the YA spectrum due to its writing style and breezy pace. Some of the horror isn’t as deeply explored as I would expect in an older YA, like Mina’s powers to (accidentally) force the webcomic people to conform to her storyline or the medical/body horror inherent in the villain’s schemes. That said, the book doesn’t shy away from the heavier topics of parental loss—Mina’s mother’s death is still a significant influence on Mina and her father’s lives. I also appreciated the juxtaposition of Mina’s parents’ absences: her mother to death, but present in her art; and her father to work, but present in his worry about Mina’s future.

Recommendation: Get it soon if the premise appeals to you. Ellen Oh’s The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee is a fun, comfortable high school adventure with a dose of entertaining meta on top. There are some places I wish had been explored more, but the novel is a solid entry in this genre. I finished the novel wanting to read more stories like it, and that’s a sign of a satisfying story.

Tumblr Games: Writing Share Tag

Thank you so much for the tags: @frostedlemonwriter and @glbettwrites. Your shares were awesome!

Rules: Share a piece of writing you're proud of.

I haven't written much over the last week, since my spoons have been really low. Holidays tend to take a lot out of my family now.

I have been working on a drabble or flash fiction. It doesn't have a title, yet. As always, this is a really rough draft. :)

"As a god," Sephiroth said, his voice was smooth like poisoned honey, "I can offer you something the Celestials or Devils cannot."

"Oh? What can you offer me that the divine can not?"

"Everything." He glided his hand down the smooth sloop of her throat, igniting goosed flesh to rise on her skin. She shivered. "Absolute power. Unlimited wealth. The submission of nations and empires. The Promised Land."

As he lowered himself to her height by bending towards her, his lips hovered close to hers. His breath fanned her cheek and lips, igniting fire within her belly that soon spread throughout her entire body: a burning need to join him on his crusade for revenge against those insects that call themselves human.

"But, most importantly," he whispered, "eternal devotion and unwavering loyalty. You are mine by right, Bia, and I will treat you like the queen you are meant to be."

Going to open this up to the Creators Club as a CC member tag game. Share your work you're proud of.

Unending life’s tough when intimacy is somehow scarier even than either of the warring police states set on turning you into a weapon or the rogue undead mecha-fragment of your old god that wants to eat you.
