#gunna play with lore with this one

[thereaderinsertlady]

I love my sweet boys that I made up completely in my head

[erosrageclaw]

its been almost a year since bg3 came out and i still can't believe their decision to simplify dnd lore because they knew no one would bother to google anything turned out to be 100% right and now everyone thinks wyll is a devil and aylin is an aasimar because no one who played it actually bothered to google what any of those things are in forgotten realms. like oh my god lol

Hiori yo x black reader

(A/N): was literally complaining bc like how is he black but there’s NO black readers??? But I found out who’s clogging up the blue lock tag😒And then I realized I can do it my fucking self lmao. HC him as Nigerian bc like we’re never gunna get any cultural background info on him bc they never tell us about the parents(unless it’s central to their backstory and even then they’re the main characters not their parents.) so I’m making up my own lore✨ his dad is Nigerian who immigrated to Japan and hiori very rarely sees his dads side of the family bc they live elsewhere and his parents don’t care about him knowing family he’s supposed to be their trophy

Hiori yo:

- okay so boom

- This happens in his blue lock era obviously

- His parents rarely let him play w kids bc he was always training if you peep in the manga

- Only has some idea of some form of cultural heritage

- He was blessed cursed with only his mothers genetics so looking more like her has him skirt around a lot of that racism

- He probably makes friends with all the other mixed kids but gets viscerally uncomfortable when he sees them getting micro-aggressed

- Makes him think twice about showing up to school with his hair not styled like his mom

- Spends 90% of his time gaming anyway so like he doesn’t have to go outside

- When he runs away to blue lock life starts to have color

- I think post U-20 arc he spends those two weeks at home hanging out with karasu because he’s not gunna let him sit inside and rot around his shitty parents for two weeks

- Karasu definitely introduces you to him

- You were one of his friends from school he used to chill with and he’s like you would be good for hiori

- Karasu 100% condones your bad influence like lmao he wants to see hiori be a MENACE to society

- He’s smirking in the background as you bring his inner ultra sadist out

- He messes up your hair and will laugh when you get mad

- “stoooop iiiiit you’re messing up my hair!”

- “aww does the princess not like their hair being touched?”

- “Not when I took a long time to do it this morning!”

- Will immediately get flustered if you say you like his hair

- hide the flat iron from him!!

- I feel like he’s lowkey insecure about usually being like the only black kid in the room

- And he speaks in a different accent than a lot of them?

- Yeah pack it up!

- *he doesn’t really think much of his appearance. he thinks he looks okay and he isn’t really confident about his skin complexion. he isn’t dark skin but he isn’t light skin either.*

- His chat Ai gave me that unprompted so it’s canon now sorry :/

- Yknow how boys will say the most traumatic shit out of nowhere?

- “do you really think that I’m pretty? even my skin complexion and everything?”

- “I sure do! Anyone who says differently is a colorist racist loser . There’s nothing wrong with you or your completion. Like you’re one of the only people who made me feel welcomed here are you fr?”

- Karasu is glaring at you though for having him make pale people jokes.

- He’s very lowkey about how snake like he is so he’s the “you can’t say that shit in public!” Friend, while you don’t care about getting cancelled😭

- “but please don’t let anyone the shade of printer paper make you feel bad about your melanin beloved.”

- “The snow roaches are usually too scared to try something because I’m tall:/“

- “WE ARE IN A CONNIVENCE STORE PEOPLE CAN HEAR YALL”

- he’s trying his best really but he’s just one crow😔

- Don’t let tea about his parents make it back to your ears bc it’s really on sight for that man AND that snow bunny 😡

- “Does your dad ever like talk to you about his culture?? does he say anything outside of trying to make you into some star striker??”

- Mf just shrugs his shoulders.

- “not really. my parents don’t care about anything other than my success. they don’t care about my happiness or how i feel..”

- “Yo, baby ….. imma beat your parents ass😐 is your dad Nigerian? Bc that feels like textbook immigrant parent behavior.“

- “……. I REALLY don’t like how you knew that.”

- “My next guess would have been Guyanese.”

- Hes giggling tho bc I don’t think he really talked shit about his parents w nobody like REALLY really

- Just watching them fight 24/7 as a kid took a toll on my poor baby soul IK

- Spoiler for his backstory but I mean not really??

- His parents saying that if he didn’t become the best they would get a divorce made my jaw hit the stairs of hell

- ““you really know a lot about this kinda stuff?,,,,but yeah, nigerian parents are hella strict. they expect high grades from us and if we don’t reach those high grades, we’re basically disowned..”

- See me personally I have tattoos, colored hair and piercings and my mom fresh off the banana boat carribean

- “Like Dr umar said “you will be never get freedom unless you take it” It’s like a hostage situation!”

- “Is that how you have them long ass acrylics?”

- “….I took it😙”

- He will never bring you home bc you’re always 5 mins from punching his mom in the mouth and he really cannot handle that especially when he’s gone 24/7 in blue lock and can’t talk to you

- They don’t know you but know you’re a bad influence so they hate you from afar

- Very pro “traumatize your parents back” and karasu right there w you

- He’ll he can even scoop up yukumiya to be on demon time👀

- “hit em with the “what if I stop soccer?” And they have nowhere to run but just sit there seething because they need you.”

- “Right the cards are in your hands.”

- “…..Respectfully love, you’re a whole ass delinquent and karasu you’re a scammer. I’m not taking advice from people with active warrants😐”

- Now back on my bullshit

- He be so fine when he use metavision

- Like he knows that if he glances over at you during one of his games he’s gunna find you squirming in your seat

- Looks at you after he scores a goal every time and flashes you that shit eating grin

- Win or loose he’s getting his dick wet!!

- Have a safe word

- He’s never gunna try to push you past your limits in a way that will hurt you

- Buuuuut he is pretty mean

- Imagine that cute innocent looking face smiling down at you with his round doe eyes

- Calling you a dumb slut

- Man is a menace and probably gets a higher sex drive the more he fucks

- Not even out of like lust overtaking him he just will be randomly thinking about how he had you on your knees in this very locker room before

- And now feels the strong urge to split you open on his cock

- It’s fun for him like a game

- And he always wins

- Only way you can get him is to outsmart him but like that’s once in a blue moon so good luck Charlie😅

- Mans is 6”1 so he’s effortlessly manhandling you and giggling at how much your body is screaming for him

- “Shit, ya keep squeezing me like that and I won’t be able to pull out.”

- Again because he dosent have a high libido as a carnal thing certain NORMAL shit will set him off

- Like you was talking about the weather now he has you bent over the couch??

- Nicknames would be one

- You call him blueberry and he’s ready to go

- The cute look on your face and the smile he can see that’s reserved for him

- The way he can same the hearts in your eyes when you look at him

- He wants to ruin you and make you cry

- Edging is his go too thing

- Will do it until your grabbing at his hands begging him to let you come and he’s laughing his ass off

- “Why? ‘S real funny seeing you this pathetic.”

- He’s very mean in that soft sweet condescending way that pisses you off

- “Ow! Yo that hurt!”

- “Mmm, don’t care.”

- Bites you all over like you’re a chew toy

- Feel like he’s tied with rin and shidou for leaving marks

- He’s a cheeky little bastard so he will have you in public looking like a mess and he couldn’t be more innocent standing right next to you

- “You good?”

- “Yeah,karasu I’m fine.”

- “You sure because you’re limping right now.”

- And this fucker is there like ☺️☺️☺️

- Weakness is distracting him while gaming

- He’s very whiney if you suck him off while he’s gaming and has vc on

- Like he’s barely holding back his whimpers and wines as you’re head is buried between his thighs

- (Rin , nagi and him def game like I know they play Minecraft together)

- “Oi, hiori you okay? You’ve been pretty quiet.”

- “M good.”

- He is fighting for his sanity!!

- Has locked the door a few times to keep you out

- Accidentally left the mic on when he thought the coast was clear and came HARD

- Rin will never EVER bring that shit up and is taking that secret to the grave

- Does get flustered when he sees you and hiori not-so-subtly sneaking off to have your hands all over each other

- Keeps that memory square in the back of his head to jack off to

- Hiori Yo is a very sadistic man with a lot of confidence

- So he has absolutely no qualms about fucking you in front of his teammates in the locker room

- Oh, the team walked in on him blowing your back out? Nothing is stoping them from showering and changing

- Shares you with isagi like that’s just what happens

- He wants to see the egoist be mean to you

- This has happened more than once and bastard München straight up knows if he’s nowhere to be found when they are heading back to the locker rooms

- He’s in there making you cry on his cock

- “Cmon, tell em how much you like creaming around my cock dollface.”

- Particularly of Kaiser is kicking attitude he’ll glare at him while you’re on your knees and dare him to try something

- Oh he don’t care about doing it in the pxg locker rooms either

- Shidou has unfortunately walked in on him sitting beside you on the ground pushing your head down so you can take Rin’s cock even deeper

- “Ne, Rin-Chan. Look at how I can see you in their throat.”

- Hiori if anything isn’t going to play by the rules or be fair about it

I’ve been getting a lot of love for The Scareiff recently, so I wrote down a lot of lore and ideas n’ stuff for you all.

HIS STORY:

The Scareiff was outstanding in his field of entertainment, enough so that he was the star of his own show. His show was called “Scareiff’s Saloon” which combined family fun with crazy spaghetti western action! The show was a hit, and he had plenty of fans. But then everything changed when someone, thought to have been a fan of his, got too close to him. His show and him started going downhill. He started messing up his parts, he made bad PR for himself, and he became a total mess. Shortly after C. Rook came into the picture, he was booted from Cathode Entertainment and his show was cancelled. Nobody knows where he is now. But he’s somewhere out in that desert, hoping an opportunity will come by where he can prove his worth again.

THE BATTLE:

They didn’t call him a sheriff for nothing. He was an expert with a pistol, and he performed all of his stunts. This expertise in the art of combat is why you most certainly need the Shadow Mantle. With such, you’ll be able to effortlessly deflect his shimmering bullets. Then you can find his whereabouts in Dreamy Desert, inside of a place called Ghost Town. Pacifying him grants you the Gleam Badge, a badge made out of pure hope.

Taking the more aggressive route makes The Scareiff impossible to find in Ghost Town. Instead he will try to hunt you down. He hopes that by turning in The Fun Gang to Tenna that that’ll get him his show back. As soon as you find the Shadow Mantle, he ambushes you. The battle with him is significantly harder in this route, even with the mantle aiding you. If you manage to strike him down, he still refuses to give up, as if his unwavering hopes are what’s keeping him going. It is this overwhelming hope that begins to turn him into a mess of TV static, withering him down until there is nothing left but his Shadow Crystal. In the process, he drops his gilded Fire-Arm, something you can equip to Toriel.

THEMES:

- Ghost Town

- Music that plays upon finding The Scareiff’s hideout

- Standoff

- Song that plays when The Scareiff is encountered

- DARN SHOOT’N

- Pacifist/Normal Route battle theme

- SERVIN’ JUSTICE

- Aggressive Route battle theme

- Cancelled

- Post-Agressive Route battle scene

QUOTE EXAMPLES:

* Y- Y’ALL’VE NEVER’RE SEEN MY SHOW BEFORE… ?

* WELL THAT’RE BE A DARN SHAME. Y’ALL’RE MISS’N OUT!

* Y’THINK’N SOME RAGGEDY OL’ CAPE’S GUNNA STOP ME???

* YOU SHOULD’VE STUCK’T TO YER’ GUNS INSTEAD!

* WELL I GOT MY OWN HOPE’S N’ DREAM’S TOO Y’KNOW!

* SO IT’D BE GREAT IF Y’ALL’D JUST’T. LET. ME. WIN.

OTHER THOUGHTS AND IDEAS:

- The Scareiff’s unwavering hope and refusal to back down in the Aggressive Route is meant to reflect the fight with Undyne the Undying.

- Continuing the theme of all the secret bosses being “trapped” in some way. Despite all of The Scareiff’s hopes, he is never able to overcome that feeling and return to normalcy. But he does try his best, and comes considerably closer than any of the other secret bosses in my lore for the game.

- There is no “friend” inside of The Scareiff. There’s only hope and straw in there. However, if you’ve been looking at any of my past posts, there still is a “friend” in my take on Chapter 3.

- The Scareiff rode a horse at one point that left him a long time ago. He misses him, but he does have a cool stick horse now!

- The Scareiff knows about the other secret bosses, much like how Spamton knows Jevil. He thinks the rest of them are a bunch of weirdos and suckers. He especially doesn’t like Spamton, who he thinks is lousy and incapable of doing anything for himself.

TMayNT Day 25: Your Turtlesona

Day 25 of @tmaynt Prompt: Your Turtlesona!

*breaths in deeply*

I think you fuckers know exactly what and who I'm about to gush over for a bit! Let 's do this shit! XD

So for those that are new to me and my content, Hi! And I'm not sorry for the lore dump I'm about to bash you over the head with! For those of you that ARE aware of me, heyyyy! I'm gunna hit you over the head with my lore once again!

This is Sasha The Cheetah!

I guess you could call her a "Turtlesona", but I don't really see her as an extension of myself, so she's really just a Fan Character! One of the first ones I've ever made actually. If you wanna know more about her and her other versions (She has 11 for fuck sake!) I'll link her very own in depth post, along with the posts I made for Fortnite and Mutant Mayhem Specifically as well, since they came along later. The major Sasha Post, Mutant Mayhem, and Fortnite!

2003 Sasha (The one in front with the pointy crystal on her neck), was the first version I ever made. She started out VERY different then what she now, and when the Turtles Forever movie came out, that's when I started playing with the idea of more versions of her. And Well...you see where that led me!

Each version, while the same character, all have their own distinct personalities and goals. Their relationships with the turtles even differ in a few versions. Even their Backstories differ a lot, as in some, she's a mutated Cheetah, others she's a human turned into s mutant! Their powers and abilities are also vastly different from version to version! In some she has power over electricity and wind, others she's a healer, some only have the ability to cast magic, in some they have no powers what so ever, and in one in particular, SHE A LITERAL FUCKING GOD!

The core similarities tho at the heart of each one are:

She is a Cheetah. (Of some variant.)

She has a strong bond with Donnie. (Be that romantic or otherwise.)

Cares deeply for their motivations in life.

And with each version, I do my best to convey which version of the TMNT through how they are drawn! Now, of course, some of my own style will peek through in each one. But I do my best to make it easy to tell which Sasha goes with which set of turtles. And I've done my best to make each version fit with the lore and story that their version of the TMNT goes by. (In some cases not enough is known, so I'll play with it a bit in those cases.)I've even thought about Voices for each one, currently still working on that post. (It's a monster of a post, but I'm hoping it will be worth it.)

I could keep going for hours, but. I don't wanna waste more of your time then I already have! Thank you for your time! And I hope you like my cheeb baby! She's my pride and joy, and i hope you at least found her interesting! (And if you checked out her other posts, uhhhh, let me know what you think. you know....if you want. X3)

[strayheartless]

DnD AGSZC. You know you have HCs. Sharing is caring.

oh well, twist my arm why don'tcha!

So to start, Sephiroth is one of THOSE players. You know the ones: makes broken characters that seemingly can do anything by level five; consistently has a rather depressing backstory that drives their character to be a dick to everyone for the sake of "roleplay". one of THOSE PLAYERS (see also: the Chocobro... or as Salty has pointed out to me, the Genebro.)

Likes to dable with his Characters. Though his favorite remains his Dragonborn Oathbraker Paladin, named Azriel who turned on the party in one paticular campaign to join forces with a powerful female Dragonborn Litch... I don't thing I really need to tell you why.

Angeals a pain because he wants to play "correctly". he's not competative but heis a rulebook warrior. Cloud has banned the Player's handbook from the table for this very reason. Angeal complains about "house rules" and the "rule of fun" all the time, even while activly enjoing the game. He's a pain.

He usually plays a Paladine and his drive for adventure is always "to avenge/ make his father proud. he once pushed the boat out at Clouds behest and broke his oath, and it didn't go... Well. to put it lightly everyone at the table cried (esspecially Zack) and Angeal had to make a new character.

Genesis is predictable to the point of hilarity. always a Bard or a Warlock. Always a Tiefling. Always gender ambiguous. if the games not starting withthe party finding Gen drunk and bemoning exsistence in a tavern then are they really playing DnD? He will always be playing a College of Tragedy bard (Thank you Matthew Mercer.) He's never pushed the boat out once in all the time they've played and if he can squeeze a loveless Quote in where he can he's gunna do it.

Genesis is however the table flirt and the Horny player. he's rolling to seduce the dragon. Cloud has Vowed never to let them play Curse of Strahd... EVER.

Zack is never predictable in his Character build. In the beginning he went similar to Angeal except a human young fighter with dreams of being a hero, But now he likes to dabble with his classes sometimes and mess around in terms of race. Cloud likes Zacks approach to DnD cause it keeps him on his toes.

His Favorite build thus far is his Halfling Rough/Monk multiclass he based off of a little girl he met in Wutai (you know who.).

When Kunsels Available to play he plays as a College of Lore Bard. He knows everything and Cloud is pretty sure He's been spying on his notes between games.

They are all suprisingly big on Roleplay which is fine by cloud cause it makes his job more fun. He's made them cry multiple times with his storylines, and His NPC voices are unparalelled. concidering he's not expressive in his day to day, he comes alive as DM.

There has been some massive in jokes that make other people question if they are sane or not. things like all the boys mimicing Clouds voice yelling "DON'T FUCK THE DRAGON!" everytime they gointo monster dens. Or looking Angeal up and Down and saying "I don't have the hit points to clinb you like a tree," .

Genesis begs Cloud to make a LOVELESS based Campaign... Cloud doesn't want to admit he already has one, hes just afraid Gen will pick holes in it.

Zack is a bastard for casting Fireball when he doesn't have the hit points to survive his own spell. the one time he played a wizard he cast it, did 39 points of damage and only JUST survived by one singular hit point.

Kunsel has the magic touch where dice are concerned. He constantly rolls consistently high rolls.

Cloud is absoloutly sure Sephiroth uses loaded dice. but he can't prove it.

Angeal always seems to end up getting attacked by mimics. doesn'tmatter how many times it happens, he always has too much trust in everyday objects.

I've been thinking a lot about destiny lately, and how I want to go about writing and drawing out my warlock, Vienna's, story, now that the light and dark saga is coming to a close. I was a bit late to the destiny scene, all things considered, and between my creative struggles and (trying) to be a functional human being, I've not created as much as id have liked to. So come along with me on my little rant as I think allowed my thoughts, if you feel so inclined.^^

There's still so much I want to write, and stories to tell within the destiny universe.

I started playing the game during season of the plunder, when my friends introduced me to it, and we became a glorious fireteam! I was drawn to the pretty warlock space magic immediately, and thus, Vienna was born. ( Though I've since become a hunter main, she's still my favorite blorbo. )

I quickly fell in love with the story and it's characters, dug deep into the lore and since then, her story has gone through a LOT of changes. I try to stick close to the canon story for the most part, in my universe Vienna is the young wolf who was risen in D1, and has since gone through most of what we see throughout the dlcs and seasons past then, I'll probably elaborate on that further at one point.

Most of my drawings that I've posted here are fun little doodles, occasional quips between characters, and overall "for fun" stuff. The majority of what I've thought up for Vienna has been confined to my own head and the rare rants to my friends. And now with final shape being so close, I feel myself pressured to know, and write down, everything that I can. Which, realistically, is silly.

I had plans to make a three minute animatic of Vienna during forsaken since it was a MASSIVE turning point for her, have it out by final shape, then make an entirely NEW animatic based off OF final shape, mostly inspired by Caydes return. Whilst I had mapped out most of it and gotten some rough sketches down, I didn't even begin on the actual project. Could I have? Probably. Do i feel guilty about it? Yes. Will those projects still happen? Hopefully.

I know for all you creatives out there that might be reading this, the feeling of having plans, and not being able to carry through with them, or it not turning out how you wanted, is a shitty feeling, not foreign to ANY of us.

I felt myself compelled to write this in the first place because I know that, well, I'm not alone.

There's many creatives out there feeling the same pressure to get stuff done as I am, even if we don't say it. We want to have everything figured out, to create something wonderful, with the final shape feeling like "the end" of destiny as we know it and all. So this is me calling out to whoever might be listening; be nicer to yourself.

You have all the time in the world to create that animation, paint that painting, write that story. Just because final shape is "an ending," doesn't mean you can't still work on and have fun with the story beats you have in mind prior to Final Shape. No ones gunna call it silly, were all equally starved for content here. And who knows, once we all know how final shape ends, it might inspire you and help your story flow together better.

I'll try my best to tag my posts relating to Vienna and her fireteam with time stamps from now on, as I tend to jump all over the place and it could get really confusing really fast. The TLDR of it all;

Don't feel guilty about unfinished projects. Final shape isn't the end, dont let it be, and dont feel confined to just creating content relating to post final shape.

That's all! I appreciate you reading if you got this far, and im excited to see the amazing things the Destiny corner of tumblr will come up with next.

See you starside! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Is Aubrey wearing short sleeves? pls say yes that would be hilarious. Bonus points if she steps out into sub-freezing temperature as is like “Damn, pretty warm out”

im gunna totally ruin the entire joke but im just so enthusiastic when people give me an outlet to explain something i've thought about

she is wearing short sleeves, but headspace isn't.. cold?

it snows in headspace and it looks cold, but no one ever feels any temperature colder than, like, having a fan on in a room; a little less than room temperature.

headspace is like playing minecraft on peaceful, no one is allowed to die, no one even feels pain if omori likes them. the world is entirely safe, especially with temperature

omori has control over everything that happens, and he knows it. But that doesn't mean that the characters have no personality and cannot realize that some things don't make sense

these instances of realization are categorized on a chart in omori's mind, like earthquake categories:

level 1

the slight realization that logic is kind-of iffy, the snow isn't cold, the world is literally flat despite having a round otherworld, otherworld is really close for being another planet, etc.

level 2

realizing that the real-world doesn't have most of the stuff here, the sky isn't purple, donut girls and spaceboys don't exist, but they don't know why they think this, they don't know of the real-world but they can tell the stuff happening is unrealistic

level 3

remembering actual memories and seeming to sort-of remember that omori's name isn't omori, but being unable to figure out why they think that. They can remember not being in headspace and not looking how they do, remembering the real-world colors and sounds and having melancholic nostalgia

level 4

a total remembrance of their life before, but takes no action (and also doesn't know of mari's death)

level 5

knowing the complete truth and taking action

each level has their own punishments, levels 1-2 usually require a standard reset without taking anyone to blackspace (omori stabbing himself to wake sunny is a reset)

levels 3-4 require a few days in blackspace followed by several resets, the person who remembers the truth will forget everything of the truth with the trauma of what will happen if they remember, forcing them not to think about it

level 5 requires the person to be completely outcased to blackspace and never ever return, and start the process of having everyone forget

but some people are too important to go to blackspace

mari, and just recently, kel cannot go to blackspace even if they remember everything due to the guilt of killing them

the procedure for that is to quarantine and reset, mari gets trapped at the picnic blanket, kel gets trapped in neighbors room

omfg im such a nerd sorry for lore dumping

[inkher0]

So... Creepypasta fanfic??? With creepypasta characters???? I don't follow creepypasta shit too closely but I see the Obsession you're playing with with... Ticcimask??? I don't know who any of these people are but the Vibes are Intriguing. Are there other non-creepypasta fandoms involved? I'm probably not reading The Fic yet, as college has me by the sternum, but dear fuck I am INTRIGUED and I need to know how much buy-in I need to have ready for horror gods fic.

I wouldn't say I'm "obsessed" with ticcimask. It's a favorite pairing of mine to talk about, but I don't look up content for it at all because I hate most of it. The pairing is plot relevant so I just make a lot of jokes about them. I'm actually waaaay more obsessed with HoodieMask

There's a few teasing references to some surrounding media like Bendy And The Ink Machine, but other than that, it's strictly Creepypasta Universe. I've been told my fic is a good fic to read if you don't know anything, because I've compiled a lot of scattered world building and lore into one, singular story. You don't need to know anything about Creepypasta, and you could still enjoy reading Origin.

I'm not gunna sell my fic based on what media i reference in it. You should read it because it's really good, and I'm making a lot of content for it.

Okay, since we’re talking game lore, how about Disney Dreamlight Valley? Mickey and Minnie’s storyline still fucks me up to this day, I’m a huge sucker for “slowly forgetting/remembering you” plots

And it’s also the closest we’ll get to a canonical ‘Mickey has depression’ story so

I love Dreamlight Valley! My friend helped me get it last year for my birthday, and I've been playing it diligently ever since. I'm pretty :/ about the paid DLC content, but whaddya gunna do.

Moving on - yes, I LOVED that storyline and I'm amazed and grateful they went through with it! Minnie's one of my favorite characters, so watching her go through that broke my heart. And in general, her character has been so great in other character's storylines - I just finished Jack Skellington's story, and her role in it was hilarious and a delight.

[starheirxero]

After season 2, what's the next storyline you would like Arcane to tackle? Most people want the ionian/noxian conflict, but I'd love for them to show us some of the freljord

Prefacing my answer with… I know next to nothing about the other regions, I’m a Zaun/Piltover slut 4 life.

That said, I got really into Demacia when I was writing Oasis (which I swear to god I’m gunna keep writing one of these days 😩). And my reasons for that are… very millennial of me; I like the architecture, haha. Also the bird-dragon things, that shit is awesome. I’ll never say no to a good dragon-adjacent creature.

But I also wouldn’t mind the Ionian/Noxian conflict, especially since we’ve already sort of dipped our toes in. In fact the thought came to me today that if for some reason Mel goes home (idk why she would, she didn’t seem all that interested at the offer, but let’s say for argument’s sake that she did), that would be an interesting way to introduce the audience to a whole new setting and set of characters—by taking us along with someone we’re already familiar with.

Other than that, I’m pretty much clueless. The Freljord is interesting, and as a former Loki enjoyer (don’t judge me plz, I’m weak for the angsty villains ok?) I can definitely see the appeal of the land of milk and honey ice creatures and ice weapons.

I was considering playing the other Riot Forge games, since I finished Convergence, maybe those will get me kickstarted on wider Runeterra lore!

almost out

I’m starting a podcast for a group of friends and me to play DND and the introduction for one of the players is ALMOST OUT. Lemme give. A rundown of the current players.

a human artificer who is a pathological liar

a kenku wizard that looks like a kookaburra and has a god complex

a goblin cleric who has unrealistic amount of strength and never uses it

and last a elf bard who is just… a normal gal. Not a joke entire lore is they have a job going to different bars singing folktales.

I’m gunna LOVE dming for all these folks. Once first episode releases go listen under the name FOLLIES!

The Path of Wandering Samurai

Thinking about another game idea. Gunna put it down here. You’re going to read it, maybe. I’ll be able to reference back to it. Either way, it’s a card game about wandering samurai.

Okay, so it’s a winston drafting game. If you’re not familiar, a winston draft is where you have a single deck of randomised cards, and you create three piles off it of one card each. Then, once you have your three piles set up, the first player looks at the first pile, and decides if they want to take it. If they do, they take it, then put a card on each pile. If they don’t take it, they look at the next pile, and decide again for the second pile, and again for the third pile. This is a way devised by Richard Garfield to do two-person drafts to make interesting decks for two player games of Magic: The Gathering.

One clause in the Garfield design though is that if you don’t pick anything in any pile, you take a card from the deck and add that to your pool. Don’t know if that’s necessary for this design, it’s not going to be that long a game by comparison.

In this game, you are playing the son of a noble family, who has for reasons of political expediency, to go on a journey to the Capital to meet with the Emperor. This is modelled on a real thing that really happened – Samurai would send their sons to the Emperor to go and negotiate why they should continue to hang around doing fuck all with their time.

Anyway, the point of this game is you’re going to go across three or four seasons, representing three or four different times of the year to go on a journey. Depending on the season you go, some cards might be good or bad. You look at one stack of cards to determine if this is the story you want your trip to follow, or not. If it’s not, you add a card to it – that you don’t get to look at – and you move on. Each round you don’t go on a journey, you just sit back and give the piles a chance to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

When you take your path, set it in front of you, in sequence; first pile, second pile, third pile, fourth pile, that kinda thing, with those piles each representing which season you went on your journey in. There may be trees that bloom in a particular season, making them worth more points because they’re prettier then. There may be characters you want to see on multiple journeys, making them more desireable.

The winner, as always, is the player with the most points, just like in real life when you go on a trip.

The piles remain between seasons. It’s very likely that by the time players pick their paths in the first season, the last pile is very large, making it very desireable for the second season to pick up first – but that means that you have to wait for the other players to finish picking their ideal in the next season, and so on.

This idea is built out of an old conversation with my friend Teioh. Teioh liked to explain the many ways that samurai lore is very silly; the way that the myth of what the samurai were has no alignment with reality, where most samurai were mostly useless nobles who wrote letters to explain why they should get free food for writing letters. I think this idea is interesting, and a long time ago we concepted a game about garbage Samurai sons wandering off to Tokyo to meet with the Emperor the way they were supposed to, but with all sorts of silly mishaps and misadventures.

One idea in that game I liked was that you always had extra sons as backup, in case their dumb misadventures got themselves killed. For a more meanspirited version of this idea, it could be that the journey, in addition to featuring nice things you want to talk about, could also feature dangerous things that mess you up, deprive you of money or liberty, and that too many bad things stacking up mean that this Samurai son is dead. Dead sons can’t go on more trips, so you lose the other seasons out of them, but maybe another son might be able to go on the trip in their place? Could be a room for a more bleak, sillier version of it.

Another thing this kind of design opens up is space for combos. Cards that do things on their own are fine, cards that do things with one another is waaay better. It could be that you have all sorts of fantastic encounters, and that those things are worth more if your Samurai has enlightenment, a very rare card in the deck. It could also be that those cards are all a byproduct of your Samurai being drunk, which is probably worth less, but you’re more likely to get it. Obviously you can’t be enlightened and drunk, so one cancels the other out.

Another final element to scratch out is that I don’t want the game to include anything like a loyalty or honour mechanic. Honour mechanics are kind of systematising that idea the Samurai wanted us to believe in, where they had some sort of intangible, superior virtue, which you will notice, they did not. It’s just buying into the hype, y’know?

Incidentally, if you’re a Muslim game designer and reading this and think this could make an interesting engine for a Hajj game, please, I recommend you do so? If that’s not disrespectful to suggest? I don’t think I would be able to do it meaningful justice, or if it’s appropriate for me to even consider, but the basic idea of ‘I have to go on a long journey and that journey is broken up into stages that tell a story’ is there.

If you know me, you'll know I have a tendency to write fanfiction. Well I wrote one for ROTG/GOC and if you also know me you'll know I like to draw some scenes sometimes.

So, here are 3 scenes for my fic :D

here's the link for anyone who wants to read it:

Fair warning though, it does contain spoilers for book 1 of the Guardians of childhood series as it closely follows the plot of the books. At least somewhat.

i just recently found out about the beach fic, absolutely loved it, read the whole thing twice in more or less one week and looked through your tag for more lore (your writing is glorious). Anything about Theseus has me cackling and god i'd love to know what went through his head the minute he found out the new mailman he ranted to about Charon was actually dating him or just how he found out in general

Thank you so much! And also I think I’ve talked about this before, but I can’t be fucked to find it, and imma do it again but this time I’m gunna summarize the short I had toyed with writing about this exact topic. I’m going to put it under a read more cause it’s a little spicy. If you don’t want to read it, tl;dr Theseus catches them banging in Charon’s car and gets extremely pissed about it.

a year or so after the events of beach fic, Charon and Hermes are invited to some formal charity thing in Elysium by Nyx and, as such, need to dress up. They're getting ready at Hermes' place and Hermes gets out of the shower just in time as Charon is finishing doing up his tie. He sneaks up on his 'professional associate', wraps his arms around him from behind, and suggests that they forgo the event so he can enjoy Charon in a suit in the privacy of his own home.

Charon finds this funny and lets him cop a feel for a bit, before pushing his off and telling him to finish getting ready unless he wants to be on Nyx's shit list for the next seven years or so. Hermes grumbles about it, but agrees and leaves to put on more than a towel. Charon figures that'll be the end of it until they get back home, but finds that his resolve might not be so ironclad when Hermes is all dressed up and he sees how very well-fitted his dress pants are. On top of this, Hermes notices his partner's appreciative eye and lingering touches as they get in the car, and cooks up a plan to get Charon to break before they get back home.

They get to the thing, it's boring, and Charon's having a rough time of it. Hermes is being flirty and touchy, and at dinner, he's playing footsie and constantly reminding Charon that they could be anywhere else, doing anything else right now. Charon sticks it out, even if he's being reciprocal until Nyx practically shoos them out of the event stating that she's taken enough of their time. It’s clear she’s annoyed and more or less suggests they aren’t as subtle or covert as they think and so they leave, a bit ashamed but not really deterred.

Back in the car as they drive home, Hermes has redoubled his efforts, kissing and touching whatever part of Charon he can, suggesting they pull over. Charon makes it all of five minutes before he does just that, parking them a little down a rarely used back road and hauling a victorious, amorous Hermes into the back seat. They get down to business, and, unfortunately, are little too preoccupied to notice the police car pulling up besides them a little bit later. 

Theseus, who was patrolling for the evening and genuinely stressed about Asterius’ (the guy Theseus may or may not have gotten sent to prison on faulty evidence as the start of his career) upcoming parole hearing, sees what seems to be an abandoned vehicle just off a side road that wasn’t there an hour before. He goes to investigate to take his mind off of things considering its a boring weekday night and there’s not much going on, but lo and behold, what does he see as he pulls up with his lights off? That’s right, it’s Styx Beach’s own mailman riding Theseus’ favorite bootlegger in the backseat of Charon’s car and the good sheriff goes through a range of emotions from confusion to betrayal to anger in the span of 7 seconds.

He gives them a lengthy earful once they’re decent, forgets he can technically arrest them for indecent exposure, gives them a ticket, and follows them until they hit Styx Beach, absolutely fuming the entire time. Hermes goes from being the ‘good Olympus boy’ to getting pulled over for every minor infraction if Theseus sees him and earns quite a few interesting nicknames from the sheriff regarding his supposed sexual proclivities. Surprisingly, Theseus still doesn’t make the connection that Hermes could be aiding the sale of alcohol, but he’s a little focused on the fact that he caught Hermes in the exact position he’s wanted to be in for like 6 years now. 

Hermes does quite a bit of apologizing since it was embarrassing, and it could’ve ended worse, and it jeopardized the deliveries he still does for Charon, and he did egg his partner on pretty harshly. Charon’s genuinely mad for maybe two days, if that, but they talk through it and it eventually becomes more funny than it was embarrassing. Plus, as part of his penance, Hermes keeps dropping off sweets from the cafe with little affectionate notes and Charon isn’t complaining about a week straight of getting surprise baked goods with his mail. 

For Theseus, he never gets over it, always thinks of Hermes as an interfering harlot and a Jezebel, even after Theseus gets together with Asterius, and always lets the mailman know his open and clear disdain every chance he gets.
