#fun fact about Finley

[cocoapowderpictures]

I think I crack the lore here. Correct me if I'm wrong:

Randy (Rambley) wanted him and his friends to live eternity. With his sickness, he probably didn't have much time left, and whatever shady deal the ompany is doing without Issac's permission, he accepted without regrets. And soon his friends will join them theater they like it or not.

Side note here: I really love your chronicles Au, hopefully we get more wholesome moments.

Woahhh that was a really good guess honnestly!!

One thing I’m surprised you got right was the fact that Randy is was ill. He spent a lot of his childhood hoping from one doctor to the next because no one knew what he had. But don’t worry, he’s all good now! The wonderful Dr. Ꞩⱥⱳɏēɍ was able to fix him right up!

ALSO something important that I want to clear up about Randy (because I think a good amount of people are under this impression): He 100% did not want his friends to end up the way they did. I’ll admit that he’s still kinda in the wrong with what he did, but he didn’t mean for any of this to happen. He just has bad abandonment issues and questionable coping mechanisms. That’s all, I’ll say for now 😊.

Thank you so much for taking a crack at the Cast Chronicles lore, Anon!! I’m also happy to hear that you’re enjoying my AU! I know I don’t draw all that much wholesome stuff so… um take this doodle of Finley angrily munching on a piece of bread (that’s the only non-angst doodle I got in my drafts 😭😭).

For those unfamiliar, these characters are part of my Cast Chronicles AU, an Indigo Park AU set in the 1960s. In this alternate reality, the main cast mascots are human employees who worked together at Indigo Park. As the story unfolds, we delve into their roles within the park and the friendships they form. However, things take a turn for the worse when they begin to mysteriously disappear, one by one.

Dollins au

(Which I used to think was cannon)

Story time:

Back in the early days of me getting into this podcast I stumbled across a lot of fanart for Malevolent, specifically Potato-lord and Izel

I was in the middle of season two and I had no idea who the season four characters were but I fell in love with Noel almost instantly.

And as everyone does when they are super normal about a fictional character they have yet to meet in cannon I read and re- read his wiki page a lot.

Now one of the things that the wiki fails to tell you is that the Butcher and Noel start working together within the timeframe of the podcast.

Instead it just says this:

I had seen and enjoyed a lot of Dollins stuff by this point and extrapolated from the art and the wiki that Noel and Collins had been working together for a decent amount of time.

It would probably be useful for The Butcher to have a man in the force if something were to happen to him or if he needed to get some evidence handily disappeared.

I also guessed that due to the dreamlands and training from the war Noel is dangerous enough on his own just in a less obvious way than The Butcher (I still believe this).

Essentially they were a serial killing power couple.

Thats it. Thats the au that was cannon to me for a very long time.

meet doctor leptis ferrer, also known as fixer nine!

he collaborated with cipher thirteen on a few crucial missions, but his most important aspect is his research.

his backstory before becoming a fixer + some worldbuilding of his home planet under the cut!

he was born on niamos, that, at the time, was shifting from being a planet with its people inhabiting it to the Space Beach™ we know from andor. amidst this changing environment, little leptis was born.

niamos was divided into three main groups of people. the natives; the tourists, who were growing in number, but only stayed temporarily; and the offworlders who settled down and started to run mainly tourism-centered business. the niamos people, called avile, still ruled over the planet, having their own political organizations that excluded the newcomers. aviles allowed the offworlders to settle down in their certain parts of their lands only because that generated profit through taxes, but they weren't allowed to fully integrate in their society nor leave the permitted areas under any circumstances.

actually, the aviles allowed these settlements rather recently, after a series of revolts in the lower classes. in theory, their system was a democracy - in practice, only rich enough people could afford to become politicians, because there was no retribution for it. so, they decided to allow newcomers to settle in, with a tax, that would be used for the retribution of political positions. the more people started moving to niamos, the more new positions could get paid.

(quick colored sketch of a part of their territory - pardon the ugly af buildings but i hate drawing them)

when the initial wave of new politicians from the lower classes got into the system, they started turning the system into a full, direct democracy, reform by reform. most roles were assigned by casual drawing from a list of volunteers, and no one could keep their chair longer than a year in every position. but, after the initial wave of openness and inclusion, things changed.

initially, there weren't any laws on citizenship or access to politics. it wasn't explicitly said that offworlders couldn't partake in politics, so when they began taking interest in it, with political programs that addressed their needs and problems, the natives started to fear that their flourishing tourism business would change the political balance they had reached. many feared that, in the span of a few generations, the niamos would be governed by the interests of the tourist business, that attracted visitors (and their money) from many star systems.

so, they started to legislate. to be a niamos citizen, one had to be born in a family of niamos people, quite obviously. at first, children born of mixed parents weren't allowed citizenship, and weren't even really a thing. but as the offworlders areas grew larger, and more offworlders settled on niamos, some protests arose.

then, they had to change the legislation. they were a people with a strong and deeply felt culture - they decided to use it as a base to legislate further. the niamos had many rites and trials, and a complex language, called caile. one would become citizen only by successfully passing all the trials, partaking in all the rites, and fully learning the language.

the first trial was a long pilgrimage with a wooden boat (and an animal) to an island. this allowed the child (around 6-7 y.o.) to go to school, where they could learn the language. this first trial was easy for any "full" avilec child to pass, as they traveled around the various islands of their world on a daily basis. offworlders, however, were still confined into one section of a bigger island. this allowed only children who spent enough time sailing with their avilec parent to pass the test.

then, they would be allowed into a school that would teach them how to read and write. the school, though, only taught in avilec language - so, the children already had to speak caile at home, to be able to pass the tests at the end of the year. after that, it mostly got easier - one would study the niamos history, and was asked to partake in every smaller rite that tightened the community and better integrated the new members.

around 18, though, to become a legal adult, there was another trial (here, it granted access to vote and independence. then, as one got older, they'd have to pass a trial to be able to volunteer and be elected for each position - the age grew with the importance of the role, but the difficulty of the trials only decreased). it was a relatively simple trial: it was a boat pilgrimage around every island in the archipelago - something anyone could do.

but leptis failed it.

when he was around 14 years old, he went on a boat pilgrimage with his family to reach a sacred island in front of the offworlders' sector. there, a young sea monster who had lost its way attacked him. he clenched his big jaw on his body - the monster's mouth was big enough to cover his entire torso and get a good grip anyway. as his family panicked, from the shore, some tourists saw the scene and called for help, and help arrived in the form of medics on a speeder and an offworlder with a gun, who shot the beast, who immediately lost its grip on leptis.

the offworlders' hospitals, with special legislation, were open to everyone. it was the only thing the niamos paid a tax for, as they recognized that the offworlders' medicine was better than theirs for some things. they did mostly go to their old medics, but when that failed, they relied on those hospitals as well. knowing that no niamos medic could save their son, his parents allowed him to be taken away with the speeder.

in his parents' eyes, his survival was a miracle, and they accepted it without questions. instead, little leptis began wanting to know how he was saved. so he began studying medicine. he devoted himself to the subject. even as he ruined his connection to the rest of the community (he stopped partaking to the rites - he wasn't forced to go, as both his parents were aviles, and nobody thought a niamos would stop partaking in the rites, so there weren't any rules on that) he kept on studying.

when he turned 18, he had to leave his studies to complete the trial. he was doing well, as everyone always did, until he reached the spot where he was attacked. he never went back there since the incident. suddenly, he relived all of it again, and couldn't move anymore. he was paralyzed by the flashback, and trembled heavily as he realized that there was a wound the doctors hadn't healed. unable to continue, he failed the trial.

no avile had ever failed the trial, but the law seemed clear - he couldn't have access to politics, and wouldn't become an adult. he became an outcast - his peers continued their lives while he was forced out of it, forced to depend on his parents, forever. but mostly, he started to have trouble dealing with the incident like he never had. he was distressed and tense, and couldn't sleep properly. he went back to the medics, and they told him he had ptsd - and that they couldn't do much about it. that shocked him - they saved his organs from failing and stitched his broken body back together in ways that would seem impossible to comprehend, but they couldn't do nothing to heal his hurt brain?

so that became his research interest.

Still been on a bit of a bard Finley kick, so of course I had to make him a ref!! This guy is so ridiculously pink.

His main outfit is from the BG3 Mystical Fashions mod! With some minor changes. The first outfit on the far left is an original one designed by me, you can see the full fit here. The other 3 are pulled directly from the game. And I could have honestly grabbed more XP He has so many outfits.

More about Tiefling Bard Finley under the cut :D (Finley is an OC of mine that has been made into a Tav for BG3, so technically this is an AU!)

Finley grew up as an urchin outside and around Baldur's Gate. He was, as most tieflings are, treated very poorly growing up and mostly raised himself on the streets. He had big dreams that could never quite be stomped out after he had found a love for music in a music box, and later, a broken lute.

He met another young tiefling named Paisley, a young boy with a particularly strong affinity for fire. With Finley's love for music and storytelling, and Paisley's magical talents, they were able to perform on the streets and do their best to keep themselves alive.... With the odd pick pocketing here and there when necessary.

Later he managed to find work in a brothel. He had hoped for it to be his first real gig as a musician, but was offered better pay for other services that he couldn't rightfully refuse from his current living situation. Only later, when he got to go out and adventure with friends, did he truly get to be the bard he had always wanted to be.

Other fun facts!

Finley does like pink, and mainly wears it to match his skin to look non-threatening. His actual favourite colour is blue.

Since tieflings face a lot of racism and comments about their fiendish nature, Finley greatly dislikes being compared to demons and devils and can sometimes take well-meaning comments a little too seriously.

The markings on his face are partially a birth mark, partially a face tattoo funnily enough. He hasn't had the best influences in friends and partners, and previously dated someone who wanted to practice tattoos with his birthmark. Luckily it's not too bad.

He was born with heterochromia and is actually able to see invisibility without casting any spells.

the pouches on his waist hold spell components and other useful items, he also has a little latch there that holds his flute.

His primary instrument is his lyre, but since it's big and potentially unwieldly at times, he has the flute as a backup. He could also sing to cast his spells, but that can be greatly effected by his condition and emotions.

He's a bard of valor, and isn't opposed to getting down and dirty with the rest of his party. His high Dex allows him to practically tank for the party if needed. And by tank, I mean just not get hit.

He's a Mephistopheles tiefling

His glasses have a loop in the metal arms to wrap around his ear to avoid losing them in combat. It's not fool proof though and still does happen sometimes.

For people who aren't familiar with BG3 tieflings, those ridges on his skin are not body modifications, but actual bumps and ridges underneath his skin that he was born with.

hello i love your weird doubled lineart can you please show how you do that

Of course! I kind of just wing my drawings, so it's mostly guess-work and just my guts telling me it looks good enough. Nevertheless I'll try my best to explain my process :)

Tutorial under cut!

Let's first talk about the basic types of lines and techniques! :0

There are three types of lines: single, double, and triple. The number of lines will dictate the line-weight and thickness! The more lines there are, the thicker the it'll look. The same applies for how far apart these lines are. We'll talk more about this later.

Now that we know our lines, let's learn how to use them.

Usually when I draw, converging, irregular, and overlapping lines are the most common. They're all very similar, you'll see. Standard lines rarely ever come up. Standard lines are classic doubles lines that are perfectly parallel to one another, and that's very hard to do unless you use specific tools (poly-line tool, bézier curve tool).

So, let's stick with our imperfect, irregular lines and look at this drawing.

You can see a fuck ton of examples of converging, irregular, and overlapping lines here. For example, the face stands out a lot more than the hands behind it, doesn't it? That's because the face is largely composed of closely packed together, overlapping and converging lines. Meanwhile the hands are mostly further apart doubles lines, or single lines.

It's okay if you don't see it, there's a lot going on in that drawing. Let's check out some simpler, hopefully easier to see drawings!

In the first picture, you can clearly see the converging/overlapping lines on the torso area of the hoodie. BUT you can also clearly see the separated double lines on the sleeves. The same goes for the circled areas in the second pic. You get what I mean now?

Irregular lines can also be used to represent shakiness, or general unsteadiness, like in this doodle below. You can see the "nervousness" being shown in the shaky, irregular lines of the speech bubble.

Converging lines can work especially well for folds on clothes, as well as semi-double lines.

But having double lines everywhere can make it a little hard for the eye to pick out shape and detail. That's when reinforced lines come in clutch (featuring @die-06 OC, Finley Albatraum :)

Just look at how much of a difference it made! Simply by outlining the outer edges of the most prominent silhouettes, I was able to add a bit more depth into the drawing.

Another fun little fact about double lines is that you can color in between the lines!

In this collab art I did with @froyocorp (featuring her OC, the Scavenger), it's a little hard to tell but I did the full drawing using the most standard lines as I could and making them as parallel as I could. In between the gaps of the lines, I filled it in with neon pinks, greens, blues and yellows to add a little more color :)

Anyways, hope this made any sense! Sorry if it didn't, it's a little hard to explain my art process. ily! <3

Backstory

Ronan was born in Cambridge, England in secret. His mother Kassady had hidden him from her abusive husband — as well as the fact that he was the product of a love affair with her former suitor; Aesop. Ronan grew up not knowing his birth mother (or the fact that he had a half/twin sister); raised by his father until Sharp married when his son was five.

He had a relatively happy childhood, though Ronan always felt slightly out of place. He was not the overly studious, serious type, which caused misunderstandings between him and his strict father… especially when Ronan is sorted into Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin (the Sharp family’s ancestral House).

But as he grows and learns more about his past and his family, he begins to come into his own as he becomes a Charms prodigy and a guiding light for the next generation of Keepers 😉.

Academics 

Best Subject: Charms, Magical Theory

Worst subject: Ancient Runes

Favorite teacher: Ronen and Kogawa

Least favorite teacher: Sharp (he’s harder on him than the rest oop)

As a student:

Very popular and personable; gets along with pretty much everyone (but isn’t a pushover)

His dyslexia causes him some trouble. Overall his intelligence and hard work helps him find ways around it

Mischievous — sort of a “thief in the night” that nobody suspects

Future

Career: Mediwizard

Ronan desires to make something of himself; to make a difference and be somebody useful in society. After seeing the impact that the goblin rebellion had on people and watching his sister/friends struggle with all manner of ailments (both mental and physical), he changes his career path from an Auror to Mediwizard.

He’d always had an interest in biology and medicine. The job allows him to dive deeper into those fascinations while giving him the adventure and variety Ronan secretly craves — he winds up traveling around Europe after Hogwarts under the employment of St. Mungo��s. Specializes in curses and mental illness.

Future spouse: undecided for now (side note: I’m always open to MCxMC ships! Ronan is pansexual so we’re not picky 😂)

Thoughts on Indigo park chapter 1

Spoiler warning under the cut!

Alright guys so today I played Indigo park chapter 1 with my friend @theroseofazrael. And I wanted to give my thoughts on it along the way basically! Warning again spoilers for chapter 1!

Right of the bat I wanna say that this is coming from somone who watched it first and someone who played it after. So you could say I have at least 2 things to go off by

Putting this in multiple parts

Part 1: entrance

So the beginning. first of all intro cutscene was really well made and amazing to look at! Getting right put into the game, meeting Rambly for the first time was nice! (Also fun fact I did the math around the 2920 days guest absents and it's 8 years!) I liked him alot! He is cute and sweet! Love his animations and I hope he doesn't turn out evil (or at least not the AI) So we open the door with a simple puzzle and I am glad it is really just like a kind of walking simulator! Going in we are getting our critter cuff, and I was so sure in the playthrough I watched that there was one of the mascots inside the shop!

with the critter cuff around our wrist we now walk into the park and when I first saw the statue I immediatly thought "Is this a disney reference"! I liked it! going throught the tunnel and it collapses behind us. I would say I actually kinda liked that! I find it sometimes a bit more realistic if something old collapses right behind someone than it already having collapsed! Also the tunnel kinda reminded me a bit of a tunnel from my favorite theme park which I found funny!

also on a side note: I love how Rambly still tries to make this abandoned theme park sound more like that it is under construction. Deniel is a river in egypt!

part 2: The train ride

While it still plays a bit in the tunnel I put it with the train ride! Walking through the que line really helps the feeling of This was really a theme park! And while I didn't see it on my playthrough (at least I think I missed it) on SHB I saw like the tail feathers of Mollie already giving an uneasy feeling but was also a bit foreshadowing in a sense. Anyways when I was in the call with my friend, Rambly told me I would be too old for this ride and I literally said "well fuck you then". This was also still at the time where I did not realize Azra was not watching my stream, because my game crashed at the beginning and I booted it up again but forgot to stream it at the time (I honestly believe it has nothing to do with the game and more about me having too much stuff open at the time!)

Anyways we load up onto the train and off we go on our first ride! This was a very sweet introduction to the cast, and felt natural for a theme park! Meeting Mollie first I loved that introduction. I like her opimistic character as they talked (which I found also really cool that Rambly interacted with the cast during the ride!) What I didn't noticed until a bit later, down there was a door where you could see Mollie "spying" on us! I just saw how the door closed but it gave me the impression that she stalked us during the entire ride or she was like "looking around" and basically found out there is someone!

Then we get to Finleys underwater space and the entire time I was looking around if I could find Mollie somewhere again (I unfortunatley didn't see her anywhere). But then Finley say "you know me for 100 years" and Imma get this right off the bat, Mollie later on says this! I go deeper in this later on!

Then we get to a really destroyed place which thinking about it is weird! Every other place was ok looking, almost in tip top shape but this one was quiet literally ruined! It is open for alot of theories I believe, since this one was probably Salems place! it is up to you guys what this was! So off we go to repair the electricity finding a Mollie animatronic! It says one last thing about Rambly hurt Llloyd! Now this one gives me the impression that Rambly is more evil but also later on with Lloyd there is a scene that plays out. And I believe that there is more to the cuff/ the system in the park than we thought

Anyways we boot up the train again and carrie on! Next and last one is Lloyd. Here we see the first time the total distaste for Lloyd from our Raccoon! now considering how Rambly and Lloyd interact, this might be just his AI programm but throught the game, expecially the collectables, it is more to believe that this dislike isn't really programmed! So maybe that part, wasn't meant to be in a annoyed way? only time will tell! But also I knew this one from tik tok but at the end of this interaction, looking to the left shows Mollie like literally by our side coming from the courtains! I will talk about a thought when we get there!

Going out we are at the gift shop of the ride. And here I noticed that in one of the cameras we can see Molluie running after the train! We see multiple empty trains in those photos and then one in the middle with Mollie running! I believe that would have been our photo! considering all other photos are empty seats, it makes the most sense. And with mollie always popping up during the ride now and then! Now this one is more a theorie but I imagine that this photo was taken during Salems part! Maybe Mollie was chasing us, the train was just faster, and when it broke down and we went out to fix it, maybe she caught up! Then she saw we weren't there and maybe thought we ran ahead? this is really just what I have thought about this than really being a theory! Anyways i was pointing the picture out to Azra and here I noticed how stupid I was

I noticed after they told me, there was no stream, that I forgot to stream it! These entire first minutes, they did not see what I saw while I stupidly pointed out things you can only see! oTL anyways moving on to part 3!

part 3: the central area and Lloyds theater

Putting these 2 together cause I find them rather short in a way! First of going down the stairs and seeing the entire area + working and I believe opperating ferris wheel! I told to Azra that as a kid or even now that I would have gone there! I just hope they also have rollercoaster tbh! I like the adrenalin! I found the fountain actually really funny, being able to rotate like this while spitting water! Noone was save against the water! we also get to the information kiosk and to the collectables! I found it nice that we got more info about them through Rambley and expecially through our protagonist which there is one thing!

At the beginning Rambly tells us that we are a new comer/ are not in the guest data base, but looking at the descriptions it is made very clear we were in this park multiple times! I believe either, children weren't like allowed to be in the guest data base because well they were children! or because we aged and with age faces change, the face recognition didn't pick up on us!

And another thing. As I said before Rambly seems to really dislike Lloyd and with the plushies, expecially the last one we get (and old cartoon version of Lloyd) it says that Lloyd was the most popular one apperantly! or at least the company was more focused on the Lion than the Raccoon! So I believe the resentment shows that Rambly is a bit more sentient than it looks like!

Moving on, Rambly wants to bring us to the Jetstream junction but unfortunatly we need a key! And that key was in Lloyds theater. getting acess to it, we go inside! seeing the theater was really pretty! and on stage we see a sleeping Lloyd who wakes up and running away. now I wanna adress that because I feel like that they aren't really out to hurt us! after the key and getting through the section (where even if I know nothing would happen, I still anticipated it) only then when we tried to go, did he really came close enough to grab us! and that one time in the middle where he was squished under a box! And honestly i think it was also because he was like put into a croner and didn't see another way!

Here is also a funny thing because technically speaking you can get this anytime when you turn around away from the backstage area we see again Mollie! Some had it at the beginning I had it after the area and honestly I feel like it is more impactful when it is after the area!Anyways we got the key and off to Mollies place!

part 4: Jetstream junction

Now this place was really fun! We go up to rooftop racing adn are greeted with rumble having fallen onto the ride destroying it! Now I felt it was unfair we only get to ride one thing so far in the entire park! Anyways we go downstairs again and to the landing pad! or rather we should go there but off to the side is a little drinking area with an arcade machine! We can play it and it is a typical oldschool platformer! This is also where we meet Salem for the first time basically! Many also belive that this has more story relevence than it looks like. Also we get like a pixalated Ramblyberry but I think that is more an easter egg than it being exactly "canon".

Anyways we now enter the landing pad which is like a really REALLY big playground area! and we got a interesting puzzle here! simple to understand. We have blocks and need to figure out the the right combination! Easy to understand thanks to the purple block and the purple star besides it! So power goes out and we walk through the entire playground, finding all shapes and the colors to it! And guess what Mollie is with us! She is often very cose to us but never really attacks us! until after we solved the puzzle! We get our first chase in the game and the only one in chapter 1!

I died only 2 times! first time I was not expecting her to come from the front and second time I didn't knew where to jump! but overall I liked the chase! it was easy to follow and had only one moment that I thought "ARE YOU FUCKING ME?! an it is the collectable during the chase! it's not hard to see but dang I held to step back one time to get it and my adrenaline was so high holy shit!

And the ending was wow. So like I felt like with the head off it felt different than I saw on SHB. Maybe it was becuase of the pure adrenaline but I felt like they fixed the timing of when it happens! Cause with Mike I felt like the timing of the head or the distance of the jump too was weird! but maybe it was always like this. And during all of this me and Azra just went "damn she is bleeding alot" not exactly listening to Rambly saying anything about the park and stuff! But it does make me wonder what happened to the staff and expecially WHY WAS THERE FRESH LOOKING BLOOD ON BOTH MOLLIE AND LLOYD?!

Anyways we leave and soon make our way to Ocean Odyssey and I notice that is Nordic themed ! (loves it!) and after seeing a big Finley coming out there ends chapter 1!

Finally thoughts

I really enjoyed it! I don't play often horror games... actually rewrite that I never played horror games and this was my first time! gameplay wise, there were a few nitpicky things but that was their first game and for that alone this deserves a major Star because it is really good! and story wise, it got me hooked! we got enough information for anticipation withouthaving all to much said, only leaving us wondering!

Anyways can't wait for chapter 2 and see ya!

Prince Finley Heath of Techno

Parents: King Trollex and John Dory Heath

Siblings: N/A

Age: 13

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Questioning

Genre: Undetermined

Voice Claim: N/A

The only son of King Trollex and John Dory, and sole heir to the Kingdom of Techno. Shy, reserved, and unsure of himself and his title, Finley is known as the "Prince of Silence".

Finley is one of the most unique Trolls to have been born, as he was born without vocal chords. Extensive research has been done as to why his vocal chords never grew properly, but nothing has been determined. As a result, Finley speaks using sign language, and usually is seen with someone who can interpret for him.

Because he has no voice, Finley often hides himself from the public eye. He's incredibly shy and hates being out for all to see. The only time he comes out is when he's with his fathers', and he often hides behind them as they walk or swim around Techno Reef.

Finley is often seen reading stories in his spare time, specifically stories about the history of music. He hopes that by reading about it, it will help him understand music. So far it hasn't worked, but it has made him quite knowledgeable about history, and he can answer almost any question about any musical history.

Finley is very close with his dads. Even though he doesn't have a voice, Trollex and JD adore Finley. He's their little miracle, and nothing could ever change that. Despite the judgement that he receives from the general population due to the fact that he can't sing, Finley and his dads are super close.

Music wise, Finley is one of the few Trolls with no connection to any kind of music whatsoever. Because he has no vocal chords, Finley can't sing at all. He can't seem to get a handle on instruments or mizboards either. A lot of Finley's self-worth issues are caused by this, has many Trolls have high expectations for a royal troll's musical talent. The only musical skill Finley has a handle on is dancing, and even that's a strained skill. He mostly taps his feet along to the beat, like his body wants to do more, but can't as it is.

Finley currently resides in Techno Reef alongside his family.

Fun Facts!

When Finley turned 10, JD gifted him a caterbus egg laid by his own beloved Rhonda. Finley named her Lasi after a character from one of his favorite books. Since she’s so small, she spends her time curled up in Finley’s hair, spending her time resting so she grow bigger.

Finley’s closest friend is his cousin, Iris. The two actually hatched on the same day, hence them spending so much time together. Iris is Finley’s main interpreter, and is often seen near him.

Finley wears a giant sweater to hide his rainbow colored arms. The rainbow on the arms is representative of the Techno Royal Family, and Finley hides to his out of shame due to his inability to sing and his lack of understanding of Techno music.

Finley has incredibly twitchy feet. He doesn’t understand why, but he’s never been able to keep his feet still. He feels like he needs to be doing something with them, like dance, but not like others do. It frustrates him to no end.

And that's my JD/Trollex baby!! Also HI IM NOT DEAD LOL

Sorry this took so long, I got the seasonal depressions hdbcjdbcfh

At long last, we meet the main character of my AU, Prince Finley! A sweet little baby who doesn't understand music like other Trolls do. Finley's vocal chords are severally underdeveloped, making it physically impossible for him to sing, much less speak. I've got big plans for this little guy~

I swear I'll try to continue uploading more often, but life's been tough djxbjdbdh

No voice example cuz he got no voice hdhdbdb

we’re already pretty blurry and experience a lot of co-fronting and layering, but as of late, we’ve noticed some patterns in terms of who fronts as a result of certain stimuli/situations.

turns out some of the relationships formed between us in headspace goes so far that they’ll (almost) always co-front together and even merge to make a blurnaut (they’ll always end up splitting back to their original forms after around 1-2 hours)

feel like I should document some of the most frequent blurnauts cuz I think it’s pretty interesting

daisy (🌼) is a blurnaut between maple and princess. they’re full of childlike wonder, is super kind to everyone, and love nature and art. they also tend to form crushes on a lot of people (although they’re usually aesthetic or platonic crushes)

domino (🎶) is a blurnaut between tyler and red, and most often co-front when listening to music. they love all kinds of music, but hyper music and songs with lots of techno sounds are their favourite (their top favourite rn is actually penny’s battle theme from Pokemon)

storm (⛈️) is a blurnaut between red and finley, and is an absolute emotional wreck. they co-front when I feel super overwhelmed, and it’s often super intense and difficult to deal with their combined emotions

midnight (🌗) is a blurnaut between finley and Something, and is basically the personification of my sadness, anxiety, and loneliness. it’s an odd pair, but they surprisingly go well together

nerd (🐍) is a blurnaut between tyler and flax, and is kinda like a special interest holder. they adore animals of all kinds, and are always wanting to learn more about animals and how the world works (if you want to send in any fun facts about biology they would LOVE that so so much)

indie (📝) is a blurnaut between maple and tyler, and are the go-getters of this collective. they co-front most during school or when we’re in public, and are very responsible and polite (even if we don’t want to be polite or nice to someone)

[devilscreekballad]

HIII

Idk if you'd even remember me. I was like gone for a year because life yk? Then I started played RDR2 and I was like "Cowboys? i know other cowboys? Wasn't there a cowboy named Charlie in RDR2?" And I spiraled before realizing I'm not insane and found my way back here lmao.

ANYWAY

My RDR2 obsession is at it's all time high. So can I ask who do you think the group here is most like in the Van Der Linde gang? It feels wrong to say Charlie is like Sean just because I think he'd resemble an older version lmao so personality wise please. If you don't do asks anymore please ignore me.

Sending love and best wishes from a lonesome cowboy♡

As I can't actually remember answering this particular ask (the initial one) you might either have to link me to it (my memory is all over the place at time)

Anywho...

You are right on time as we'll be updating the game soon. to a new look first (moving form twine harlow to sugarcube), as well as finally getting the next chapter up. If you've been playing on dashingdon, though, I will not continue updating the version there. (unless at some point CoG changes it's rules about publishing and allows multi-format or something, then I might port things to CS, but only time will tell)

I think by all means... Charlie's most like Hosea? Maybe? (Also, I might have said the following already, but have you yet tried naming your MC after some of the RDR2 characters?) And fun fact: Finley is, in a small part, inspired by Kieran.

As for the second ask, and while we're on the topic of Finley: I think the only characters I really have literature down for are Finley and Florence, as they share a love for adventure and mystery, as well as for what by all means falls under Sci-Fi.

<3

Also, tiny little funfact under cut because silly spoiler:

As Ballad is set in the same universe as Curious Cuisine, and thus there's a multi-reality portalthing somewhere between New York and the rest of the northern hemisphere where people that died in one reality might very well end up in the Ballad/CuCu reality alive and well and sometimes years younger... I will admit that I did kinda start out imagining Hosea and Bessie to be Seán's adoptive parents. Shhh ;)

[luckloveandwaterfalls]

heloooo! hows life? and also, what jobs do you think the aouv crew would have?

Hello!! I'm so so sorry it took me this long to get around to answering, I started it and then promptly forgot it in my drafts for a really long time :/ This is a fun question to think about!

Alistair - I've seen people on here talking about how Alistair would be a writer post-canon, and I agree wholeheartedly. He's a natural storyteller and I think he would love the chance to channel that creativity without terrifying himself in the process. Also, the relative anonymity and privacy would be good for him in the aftermath of the tournament.

Isobel - Let my girl follow her dreams of going to fashion school! I think she'd be incredible at it and the deviation from the Macaslan "jobs" and spellmaking she's expected to follow would be good for her. Many years in the future, her designs become famous, which is perhaps the biggest fuck-you to Cormac (ppl hear Macaslan and they don't think of the "family business" anymore)

Gavin - He goes through a series of temporary jobs until Fergus is an adult so he can keep a roof above their heads, then once Fergus leaves Ilvernath for university he kind of flounders a bit. Eventually Gavin ends up leaving the city as well and gets a good job in land surveying—something with a physical, hands-on element that still requires a lot of intelligence and precision.

Briony - Everyone expects her to pursue politics or some other profession with a lot of publicity, but Briony surprises everyone by becoming an attorney. She'll never let go of her desire to help and save people, but she doesn't want to be associated with the Thorburns (minus Innes) anymore, and she's become less obsessed with the idea of being a hero. She gains a reputation for being a fierce advocate for her clients against injustice.

Finley - ???? Part of the reason why it took me so long to get to this ask was because I have no fucking clue what job Finley would have. This may be partially due to the fact that I am 100% convinced this poor boy will have the worst case of burnout post-canon that leads to several breakdowns. I also think he'll feel very aimless, because so much of his life has been about living up to expectations. Please chime in if anyone has ideas about what Finley would end up doing with his life, because I'm getting very hung up on the inevitable mental health issues in his immediate future.

Elionor - She becomes an engineer and specializes in integrating magick with otherwise mechanical designs. She barely makes it through her internship because of her attitude, but she becomes known for her creative and innovative work.

Carbry - Carbry becomes a professor. What better way to make a life out of learning, and bestowing it upon others? He does a lot of hands on research focusing on the history of curses and other magickal occurrences.

Hendry - For a while, Hendry isn't sure what he wants to do with his life, especially since he's never had any of the normal experiences that he's heard about up until this point. He encourages Alistair to pursue writing and tries out a few different paths before opening up a small indie bakery. He gets a few opportunities to expand but never takes them because he wants to keep it a warm, homelike setting where you can taste the love that went into every pastry.

Reid - Reid never writes another book. He keeps the MacTavish shop running, but years down the line, he moves more into the research aspect of cursemaking and develops some theories that he handles more responsibly than his previous experiments. Some of them get studied academically and developed into modern cursemaking/breaking advancements.

Diya - Of course I had to include her :) Diya rightfully tells the spellmaking society to fuck off and starts to do her own thing. Ten years down the line and she's known throughout Kendalle for being one of the best magickal fixers.

Thanks for the ask :) Please don't let the excruciating amount of time it took me to respond dissuade you from sending me more lmao, I love to talk about this series and my schedule seems to be a bit less hectic for the time being!

[thesettingsun-utau]

Here's a pretty amazing Sunsetter fun fact:

There's a much different thing that replaces the whole bit in the Last Corridor where you reload a bunch for keywords and a key and that stuff with Sans completely owning you via treadmill. It would instead be a bit of more serious conversation between Finley and Papyrus.

You'd only need to reload once, instead of Sans's whole multiple-times thing, and it would start with Finley stopping Papyrus before he leaves.

The two talk a bit, Papyrus finally venting about his shortcomings, and Finley both relating to and comforting him.

It ends with Papyrus giving Finley a gift. A red bowtie, which as added to Finley's sprites. It doesn't completely replace Finley's armor, but instead is immediately "equipped" onto them by Papyrus.

While it doesn't give any additional defense stat, it heals you by one HP every turn in battle.

HELLO HI may we please have an official andy introduction 🤲 and also five fun facts about him and also his top five friends please and thank you

of course my liege 🫡🫡 official andy introduction post time

andy (full name andy rey chavez) is not only the most normal man in night city: he’s also the most feared mercenary that has never existed. not everyone is meant to be a hero, and thank god for that, because andy is far from being main character material. he has a shitty part-time job as a cook in a generic fast-food somewhere in heywood and spends the rest of his time working as a handyman, fixing rich people’s appliances everywhere in night city. it’s a simple life, one that he’s almost content with; he doesn’t need the thrill of mercenary life, or the privilege of being wealthy, but he does wish there was more to life than cooking bad food and busting his back to unclog a pipe for someone who’ll barely give enough tip to pay rent. he doesn’t mean to become a merc, but it kinda just. happens. he needs the eddies and even working two ass jobs simply does not cover his expenses, so he finds a fixer, doesn’t bother making up a cool name like “v���, shows up in his plumber clothes, gives his actual name to the dude, and gets sent on a job to steal some intel from a businessman somewhere in city center. an in-and-out gig, no blood, barely any risk. easy. and he somehow manages to fuck it up so, so bad simply by walking into the wrong room. the moment he opens the door, a dozen men turn to look at him. they don’t look very polite, if the way they glare and reach for their weapons means anything. before he can make his exit, however, the men all turn towards each other and start pointing fingers, accusing one another of bringing in backup. from one second to the next, everyone’s weapons are out and it’s all andy can do to hide behind a couch as gunshots erupt across the room. andy sneaks out—runs out, actually, in a very scooby-doo fashion—and goes back home, his gig completely forgotten. during the following weeks, word on the street has it that a new mysterious merc has left carnage in his wake, brutally murdering many high-ranking gang members, leaving the criminal underworld in shambles. no one knows his name, but he apparently calls himself “the handyman.”  he goes back to his normal life, or tries to, hoping no one traces the event back to him. unbeknownst to him, his actions have attracted the attention of both bella, night city’s most desired flower, and finley, a fellow merc just trying to get some peace. 

that’s pretty much all i have for now!! onto the rest now >:]

fun facts:

1- he puts the bi in bitchless. negative rizz. and YET. he still manages to score not one, but TWO baddies, namely bella and finley. they simply cannot resist his loser personality. 2- he cannot drive. does not own a license. does not own a car. what he does have is a scooter just small enough that he has to bend his back in an uncomfortable position to reach the handlebar. can’t afford anything else in this economy. 3- he was once dared to get a tramp stamp, but chickened out the moment the needle touched his skin, so his tattoo consists of a single dot on his tailbone. he tells people it’s a beauty mark. 4- he’s an amazing solo dancer, yet turns into a klutz the moment he has a partner. steps on toes. knees groins. spins people into walls. he’s very bad at this. he’d rather line dance. 5- all his cyberwares are either outdated or repurposed: an mp3 in his ear, a metal plaque on his forehead from bumping his head too much and the tip of a finger from chopping it off while cooking (he got distracted).   6- bonus fun fact: while he loves cooking, he vastly prefers cooking for others. meeting bella and finley is good that way, because they give him a reason to use his kitchen for the first time since [redacted].

top 5 friends (in no particular order):

1- bella. she’s the malfina to his connecticut clark. she’s the girlboss and he’s the malewife. it works for them. whatever bella sees in him, andy hopes it’s enough for her to stay. 2- finley. being besties-with-a-crush with finley is the most stressful part of andy’s life, but he wouldn’t trade it for the world.  3- misty. it’s not widely known, but andy is quite spiritual. he and misty spend time together at her shop, where the vibes slap. 4- hyun-soo. kinda weird, having a friend who’s definitely got some cyberpsychosis going on, but it’s fine. they have dinner together from time to time and hyun-soo always pays. 5. river. ncpd’s only uncorrupted cop befriends night city’s most feared merc. thank god they’re both actually softies and one of them is just some loser guy.

Fun facts for my game

ERM ACKSHUALLY-

Hart and Seally are cousins *Ruined the lore in 5 words*

Foolly hates sports. He is forced to play football/influence sports.

The vineds are no longer called that, they are now called trashed. *AKA you can call them vineds still*

Avi and Atlas are forgotten Sweeties *Sweeties are basically just all the characters*

The scrapped Sweeties might make a return if I like them. *Aka: Sky, Finley, Ash, Alley and Valley*

Cosmo and Luna are based off of my pet birds! Both of them are called the same irl.

Jellis and Jell-o are sisters.

That's about it for now (LORE COMING SOON FOR HONEY AND JELLIS IN MY ANIMATION I'M WORKING ON// AKA NEW DARLING MEME. IT SHOWS HOW JELLIS ONLY SMILES WHEN PEOPLE CRY)

Lore is yummy

Well, since I went through the trouble of making a tiefling Finley reference I had to also make a tiefling Paisley one!

It's a little less intuitive but that just gives me options to draw him more later~

His main outfit is the robe of summer from bg3 his other outfit is from Dragon's Dogma 2. Paisley isn't as much of a collector of things as Finley is and only has a few outfits, his most valued and most valuable items are his glasses and his staff.

Comm info | Cara | Twitter | Twitch | Discord

More about Tiefling Paisley under the cut! (This is an AU version of paisley used as a Tav in Baldur's Gate 3 and a pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2 [I use my imagination for him to be a tiefling lol])

Paisley grew up as an urchin outside and around Baldur's Gate. He was left without a family and later found Finley, another urchin tiefling on the streets. They became fast friends and reliant on each other. The two of them did street performances together for change, and did the odd theft or pick pocket where needed.

It's not uncommon for tieflings to be adept with fire, and Paisley certainly got a huge helping of it. He's had an obsession with fire ever since he was small and his skills have grown with him. Paisley is practically a fountain of magic, he has very good control over his fire and can even heat himself up to dangerous burning temperatures, but he is also prone to wildmagic bursts which can make things rather chaotic sometimes... most of the time.

Paisley's a ball of fire, both adventurous and curious but terribly nervous and anxious. It's an odd mix that has him stopping and going constantly. When in doubt: Fireball!

Other fun facts!

Paisley's favourite colours are red and orange, yellow too... really anything that reminds him of fire.

Paisley isn't as put off by ignorant people who dislike tieflings, they aren't worth his time so he'll go elsewhere... and when in doubt: fireball

Paisley is absolutely covered in splotchy and speckly freckles from head to toe hoof

Paisley's very kind and friendly and really likes being helpful to others, but his odd personality and penchant for fire can make it difficult for him to connect with others

Paisley is a wildmagic fire sorcerer, he has a few other spells up his sleeve but if there are any fire spells he could be learning, you know he has!

Silencing Paisley doesn't work as he can still cast a large portion of his spells. He can also breathe fire and super heat himself so binding him is not easy either.

When he has very strong emotions, especially when in distressed, a small fireball forms between his horns. It's a dead giveaway for when he's overwhelmed or scared

Paisley runs very warm on average and isn't quite effected by heat or cold like others are. His internal fire can usually regulate him very well, even in very cold temperatures

Our New and Improved Intro

Hi! I’m Max, the host of the 80s Rewinders System, a DID system. I'm making this post for our system. My pronouns are they/he. I used to call myself Finley.

Our system uses the collective pronouns they/them. We don't want to share who most of our alters are. If an alter doesn't want to let people know who they are or when they're fronting, they won't and usually we don't. We don't really use signoffs.

We are a dissociative identity disorder system that developed when the body was 3 from sexual abuse, but we've been abused in different ways for most of the body's life. This page is to help people understand dissociative disorders, end stigma and stereotypes, give hope to people with dissociative disorders with a focus on DID, spread awareness for trauma based mind control and organized abuse, and share our love for the 80s with people including fun facts about 80s pop culture and obscure 80s songs.
