i really like the idea of grimnoire being a city that has a bunch of fantasy creatures but they’re integrated into normal society and it’s all cool

Playing More detective Grimnoire Tangled Tower

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

Saw your Stolas redesign 🌔. Also saw u said you’d rewrite his dynamic with Blitz. U have a rewrite for Stolas in general?

Why yes I do! I’m still thinking on some stuff but I’ve got some general ideas! Aswell for the other gang but I can talk about the rest another time.

My Stolas🌔✨

Personality, What’s his deal with Blitz?

Mix of the Pilots original regal air and Show Stolas softer moments. I'm leaning towards more busy introverted scholar who's also nobility. Hes also MAJORLY socially akward, which can be a struggle for him, especially as an esteemed royal. Often hiding behind a mask of professionalism and sophistication, expected of a Goetia.

Hes a fairly polite and amiable enough bird man but at the same time, out of it. Basically a guy who had his head up in the clouds or in his case, the stars. Despite usually trying to stay professional to his name, opens up way more to people like Octavia and Blitz.

I imagine he tries his best to be respectful and mannerful, being an esteemed royal and all. To high and lower class ranks. I imagine while he'll make mistakes here and there, tried to be more respectful of imps, even before meeting Blitz and developing.

He feels that what he does is important(with the grimnoire and other royal duties)...just doesn't think HES important. Thus initially....he didn't consider just how much his actions could have such an impact on others…

In the end...he was just looking for someone who he could be himself around a bit, someone that was interested in him, not as a member of the Ars Goetia. With all the other Goetia and most people, he’s had to put up the big front of being the “Great Goetia Prince”, always held above massive expectations, and even with his daughter Via, felt like he had to keep up things(to be a proper role model and not wanting to get her involved in thing she didn’t have to be in)

He admires how honest and true to himself Blitz can be, not trying so hard to modify who he is around others( not realizing Blitz puts up a mask aswell at first). Also loves hearing all the stuff he knows about pirates and horses. With Blitz, he learns to more honest and assertive in his life, done with living to Ars Goetia standards which already have their own issues in many ways.

His relationship with Blitz also makes him consider his own privilege more and the power he has over people, even if not intentional. He comes to want to fix the classicism issues with the Ars Goetia and become more involved with the social issues of Hell’s system. Blitz and Via def help make him a better person. Aswell as Loona who def rips into him for his stuff.

He def shares OG Stolas’s interests like Astronomy, books, plants etc. I can imagine he’s def shown Blitz the Centaur constellation 🌌

What’s he’s like with Octavia?

Def sweet, like has those moments like you will be okay and bonds with her with Space/stars stuff and nature, she’s def a daddy’s girl and was def still hurt by what happened.

He def does his best to be considerate of Via, and keep her out of his problems. His biggest issue is being upfront, not being full honest about stuff and avoiding the subject, pretending everything’s fine which it’s NOT! In a way, the affair ended up helping him improve in ways a father. Learns to open up more about his problems and being more honest with her.

What's the situation with Blitzo and the full Moon Arrangement ?

Just to be clear, I’m not the biggest expert when it comes to sexual relation, transaction stuff. But I do know a major issue was def about the consent, power imbalance in all this. This is my take on trying to resolve that, and if there’s something I’m missing please let me know. Just wanted to make it clear I def want consent. I've talked to friends about my ideas and they say my take seems alright, let me know what u think.

For mine I'm making it a weekly meeting so there's more time for their relationship to develop

Sex is only a one of Many options Blitzo can "return the favor" for the Grimnoire. Other options can include chaperoning for Loo Loo land as bodyguards, retrieving important errand runs, helping with his gardening etc. It's a fairly flexible arrangement and Stolas made it absolutely clear sex wasn't mandatory(Blitz just finds it as both the easiest and funnest of options...at first)

For Ozzies, Blitzo decided to invite Stolas in hopes to tag along with M&M like double date, killing two birds with one stone kinda deal

What's his relationship with Stella ?

Def still complicated. It was alot like a business arrangement. Both knew they were in a tight spot, but were able to figure a way they could help the other. Stella being the more social and loving the spotlight, took care of most of Stolas social affairs(hosting events, going to events, meetings) while Stolas focused more on the paperwork(grimnoire and celestial studies)

Stella told herself she could be prepared if Stolas wanted to ask to seek others for certain pleasures he coudlnt with her. Affairs and having side relations weren’t uncommon for nobility(there were things such ans courtesans and mistresses afterall) and people have a high standing. But when he went behind her back to have relations with an Imp of all people and letting himself be publicly exposed and thus their reputation, the one she worked so hard to maintain and even hurt their daughter who was led to believe they genuinely loved each other, she was…less then pleased to say the least.

Does he regret cheating?

Stolas isn't defensive about being called out for cheating. Even if it was a normalized thing amongst nobility, he acknowledges what he did was still wrong and hurt people. What he gets angry about is when others make it about that he cheated with an IMP(Blitzo).

Stolas-I’m certainly not a better because I’m a Goetia, so how is being with someone like Blitz, lowering my standards!?

Main Changes?

Def wanted to make him more accountable, resolve some of the issues with his and Blitz’s relationship and etheir does become a thing with him or if it doesn’t work out, end on genuinely good terms

What do u guys think? How would u go about Stolas or his relationships like with Blitz or Via? I'd love to know💖

OC Favourites Tag

Thanks for the tag @bodoramzap

Rules: share photos of your OC’s fave Colour, Food, Season, Animal and Pastime.

Tagging back: @aalinaaaaaa @thewriteflame @wildswrites @aquadestinyswriting @artdecosupernova-writing @autumnalwalker @blind-the-winds @eli-writes-sometimes @hannahcbrown @oh-no-another-idea @rhikasa @swordsoulwrites @winglesswriter @andromeda-grace @writingmaidenwarrior

Since I'm still on my Starbound kick, I thought I'd do this for Kata, the assistant engineer on Mio's ship.

Fave colour: Red

Fave food: Coralcreep Curry

Fave season: Winter

Fave Animal: Whisper

Fave pastime: Reading

(Whispers are considered monsters in the game, because they're always aggressive, but they'll still count for animal, I think)

Some misc backstory I came up with for Kata while making this. She grew up on a Snowy planet type (maybe something to do with the frost is responsible for her muteness?). The ship is climate controlled, but when certain dates roll around she can't help but miss the snow, and being able to cozy up next to a fire with a nice hearty curry. She usually enjoys fieldwork, but absolutely cannot go down to any desert, arid or other hot planet types, because she cannot deal with the heat.

Oooh! Thank you @saxifrage-wreath for the tag. I never pass up a chance to talk about books.

Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (will be my favorite book until I die. Typically this becomes shorthand for the Silmarillion, the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings which I'm starting to see as one unit.)

Watership Down by Richard Adams (I can never get enough of this story about rabbits who bond during an adventure, find a home, defend it, and live happily ever after.)

The Exorcist (Just like love is a choice not a feeling, so is faith.)

All Band of Brothers books (I collect these and they're my favorite.)

3000 Degrees (Firefighters on the radio with each other as they die. Here is a tiny bit of my soul, feel free to destroy it.)

The Sharpe's Rifles Series by Bernard Cornwell.

The Grimnoir Chronicles by Larry Coriea (Just plain fun.)

Helmet for my Pillow by Robert Leckie (My second favorite author.)

With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge

Grimnoir by ProP

It's his biggest selling point and it's a cold, hard fact: occult detective Jacob Morris has never lost a case, and he's been in this business a long time. Join him and his singularly skilled colleague Solene in rainy Steel City as they take on a series of cases involving monsters, people, and that which falls between. Grimnoir is a hypertext mystery game featuring seven main cases, multiple endings, and an inordinate amount of whiskey. An internet connection and speakers are recommended for the best experience, but not required. The game is not recommended for young children.

umbrella, sender lets receiver under their umbrella.

          priscilla wishes she’d checked the weather that morning.     though grimnoire usually had cloudy weather and humid skies,   rain wasn’t always a guarantee.     she’d just finished a performance at a local club nearby,   and though she could tell she was getting drenched from the rain,   she was at least grateful she was wearing a coat.

          though suddenly—the rain stops.     priscilla can still hear it hit the ground and she can see it ripple through the puddles of the street ahead.     she looks up to see an umbrella,   and then beside her to see the man holding it.     he seemed vaguely familiar somehow…   though not in a personal way.     regardless,   she’s quick to thank him.

          “   oh!     thank you,   ”          priscilla’s posture relaxes a bit knowing she’s been sheltered from the rain.          she lets out a nervous laugh,          “   this is making me realize i should check the weather more often…   “
