Spectember 2024 Day 27: Goliath Macaw

With a head-to-body length of 145-150 cm, a weight of 5 kg, and a wingspan of over 3.2 meters, the highly-social Goliath Macaw is the largest species of the Potworian parrot genus Neoara and one of the largest flying birds ever to inhabit Potworia's far southwestern continent of Svarogia. It lives in dense tropical rainforests where it uses its powerful, hooked beak and talons to feed upon the fruits, nuts, flowers, seeds and nectar produced by gigantic relatives of fabacae and other flowering plants and trees, and it will also fly after riverbanks in large flocks to consume clay or other mineral nutrients that aid the macaw in digesting potentially poisonous plants. The Goliath Macaw shares its habitat with other kinds of endemic Svarogian birds such as hummingbird-like passerines, hornbill-like toucans, omnivorous woodpeckers, and a several smaller species of parrot or macaw. Like most other macaws of the genus Neoara, The females of these monogamous birds lay two or three eggs inside the hole of a tree shortly before the breeding season ends. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs for 35 days, and the rat-sized chicks will soon fledge from the nest in about 100 days from the time they hatch.

"Slay The Prince" - Prologue: The Hero and The Prince

AN: So I'll probably only be posting this one chapter to Tumblr, just because I want to color coordinate all the text (as if I don't have enough work for myself, lmao), and Tumblr is very limited with what you can and can't do.

However, I will not be leaving y'all empty handed. If you want to read the full book/future chapters, here's the link to the AO3 page, where there will be a rainbow of colors, different fonts, and more exciting stuff. This is literally my passion project, so please enjoy!

"You're on a path in the woods." A voice told him, causing the man to look over. A man with dirty blonde hair, pale skin, and glowing green eyes rested on a nearby boulder. He was dressed in a simple black suit with a red tie, scarlet macaw wings on his back. He smiled at the man, "And at the end of that path, is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a prince."

He looked up at the path of trees, the wind blowing leaves around, the twigs lifting themselves a bit and flowing with the wind. The path up the hill was steep, with dirt and gravel leading him up towards the cabin. The trees were bent in such a way, beckoning him to come closer.

A prince really lived up there?

"You're here to slay him. If you don't, it will be the end of the world."

The man looked back at the other, confused, "The end of the world? What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the end of everything as we know it. No more birds, no more trees, and, perhaps, the most problematic, no more people. You have to put an end to him."

"But how can a prince, locked away in a basement, end the world?"

"Don't... linger on the specifics." The avian brushed him off, "You have a job to do here. Just get in there and do what needs to be done. We're all counting on you."

"Do you have any evidence to back this up?"

The avian sighed, "Look, you're already on the path that leads to the cabin. Why would you be here if you weren't to complete a very important task?"

The man blinked, thinking.

"You've made it this far, you might as well reach the end of your journey."

"...How did I even get here?"

"Does that matter? You got here and that's a fact. You got here because of your task that needed to be done. Who cares about the how. Let's focus on the now."

The man stared for a second, before asking his next question, "Have you considered that maybe the only reason he's going to end the world is because he's locked up?"

"While I appreciate the mental exercise, we are running up against a bit of a ticking clock." The avian groaned. He then sighed, "Nevertheless, let me assure you; the prince is locked up because he's dangerous. He's not dangerous because he is locked up." The man went to say something, but the avian stood, holding his hand up as he began walking around him, "And before you decide to waste even more of our time by asking how I know that, let me suggest a more pragmatic lens through which to view this situation." Once he stood in front of the man again, he looked up, glowing green eyes digging into his skull, "Causality doesn't matter here because the end result is the same, no matter what led us up to this point. If the prince leaves the cabin, the world will end, and there is no changing that. It's no use arguing semantics over a metaphorical chicken-or-egg, because the egg is hatched and it's about to ruin everything."

The avian then smiled and poked the man's chest, "Unless, of course, you do your job and slay him!"

"Killing a prince seems kind of bad, though, doesn't it?" The man crossed his arms over his chest, a bit uncomfortable.

"Does it? Are you a monarchist?" The avian hummed, beginning to circle him again, "Is slaying a prince that much worse than slaying a fisherman or a miller or a seamstress? If anything, slaying a prince is much better than slaying a fisherman! A fisherman contributes something valuable to society."

"Can't someone else do this?"

"Oh, if only that were the case, but, atlas, I do not make the rules!" He hummed again, his hand going to his chin, "I have to say, I'm surprised at your reluctance thus far. But, unfortunately for the both of us, you're the only one who can pull this off! Like I said, I don't make the rules." He sighed, stopping in his tracks, looking at the dirt, "No matter how much I wish I did..."

"Do I get some sort of reward for doing this?" The man huffed.

"Yes, but you'll have to slay him before you get it."

"Can't you tell me what my prize will be for doing a good job?"

"It's a secret, but I think you'll like it~! It's a special reward, just for you!" The avian winked, "And whatever you think it might be, I can promise you, it's going to be even better!"

The man continued to hesitate, "Have you considered that maybe I'm okay with the world ending?" He shrugged.

"Of course I haven't. Why would I even consider that? Nobody wants the world to end!" The avian huffed, his wings growing stiff as he narrowed his eyes. He then thought for a second, "...Well, I mean, maybe some people do, like nihilists or very, very, very evil people. But surely, you're not one of those, right?"

The man shrugged, "Forget it, I'm not doing it."

"Are you serious? No, you have to do it." The avian hissed.

The man narrowed his eyes, "Okay, look, I'll go to the cabin and I'll talk to him and if he's as bad as you say he is, then maybe I'll slay him. But I'm not committing to anything until I've had the chance to meet him face to face."

The avian spun around, turning into a scarlet macaw and landing on the man's shoulder, "Then I guess we'll have to see what happens. But, a word of warning? If you go in prepared to hear him out, he could easily trap you in his web of lies. And the more you listen to his honeyed words, the harder it'll be the pull yourself out." He then whispered in the man's ears, "Then each and every one of us is doomed."

The man stiffened.

"So, sure, go and talk to him! See how that turns out for all of us!"

The man shook his head, ignoring him as he made his way up the path. Upon doing so, he reached the bottom of the hill. Looking up, he saw a nice, normal, wooden cabin.

"You make your way up the short path to the cabin."

"Are you just going to narrate everything I do?" The man asked with a hiss.

"Hey, that's my job! My job is to say the facts!" The avian hissed back, huffing, "You'll find the prince within!"

"We're not going to go through with this, right?" Another voice asked, the two turning. Beside him was a brunette man with tan skin and yellow eyes, wearing a black prince coat with golden buttons and a yellow trim, black jeans, black boots, and a black cape with a yellow trim and yellow i on it. He had a sword strapped to his side, but he didn't touch it. He looked at the man, a look of concern on his face, "I mean, he's a prince, right? Aren't heroes suppose to save princes and princesses? Not slay them!"

The Narrator, the avian, flew and landed on the Hero's shoulder, turning into his human self again. He pinched the brunette's cheek, smirking, "Ignore him! He doesn't know what he's talking about!"

The brunette glared at the avian, "You always did annoy me, Narrator."

The dirty blonde just smiled, sitting on the Hero's shoulder, his new perch.

The man hesitated, staring at the two before looking at the cabin, hesitantly proceeding.

"The interior of the cabin is almost entirely bare. The air is stale and musty and the floor and walls are painted in a layer of dust. The only furniture of note is a plain wooden table. Perched on the table is a pristine blade." The Narrator explained, "The blade is your implement. You'll need it if you want to do this right."

The man hesitated before taking the knife.

"You take the blade from the table. It'd be rather difficult to slay the prince and save the world without it."

The man slowly opened the door.

"The door to the basement creaks open, revealing a staircase faintly illuminated by an unseen light in the room below. This is an oppressive place. The air feels heavy and damp, a hint of rot filtering from the ancient wood." The Narrator chuckled, "If the prince really lives down here, slaying him is probably doing him a favor."

The man and Hero glared at him.

"Who's there?" A voice called.

"He sounds... dangerous." The Hero commented, "It's almost as if he's the one in charge down here."

"He will do anything if it means setting himself free. He will lie, cheat, and steal, anything he thinks he needs to do to run." The Narrator grew serious, "Do not let it fool you. It's all part of the manipulation."

The man ignored them, answering the voice, "Uh, just checking in on you?"

"Oh? It's been so long since anyone's come down here. I was starting to think they forgot about me." His voice carried in a calculated way.

The man walked down the stairs, the Narrator continuing his... narration.

"You walk down the stairs and lock eyes with the prince. There's a heavy chain around his wrist, binding him to the wall of the basement." 

The man stared, holding the knife, looking over the prince. He had dirty blonde hair, though his was brighter than the Narrator's, as if the sun was somehow shining down on his hair, despite being down here. His eyes were a beautiful ocean blue, calculated, reserved, secretive as he stared at the man. His skin had a nice tan to it, freckles dancing across his body, wearing a simple white button up blouse, black jeans, and white socks, a small golden crown resting on his head.

On his back were two beautiful, golden yellow wings.

"He's so... coldly beautiful..." The Hero spoke, "Is he really a threat to the world?"

"Focus on the task at hand." The Narrator hissed.

The prince lifted his head, a sneer appearing on his face, "And there you are. Are you here to kill me or something?"

"I'm... just here to talk." The man tried to reassure.

"Oh? Then why did you bring a knife?" The prince accused before smirking, "How about you drop it and then we can chat."

"He makes a compelling point. What if we just drop the blade and talked?" The Hero motioned to the prince, "Look at him! He's not a threat!"

"Don't you dare!" The Narrator warned.

"It's fine. We can decide what we want to do after we talk to him. Maybe he really is a monster, but killing someone in cold blood isn't very becoming of us."

The man dropped the knife, "There."

The Narrator sighed, "The blade tumbles out of your trembling hands and drops to the floor with an unceremonious clang."

"Thank you." The prince mocked, "Maybe now we can just... talk."

The man ignored his quip, "May I step forward?"

"My, my, so polite." The prince motioned to the place in front of him, "Go right ahead. But try anything and it will not end good for you."

"Against your better judgement, you step forward to speak with the prince. Face to face. Unarmed." The Narrator groaned, making his disdain known.

"We'll be fine." The Hero reassured.

"I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish here, but I can assure you there's no reasoning with him!" He sighed, "Just make sure you don't forget about the blade on the floor. You're going to need it."

"So, here we are." The prince looked away, but still kept his guard up, "What an awkward way to start a relationship."

"What's your name?" The man asked.

The prince looked at him, raising an eyebrow. He then puffed out his chest and wings, "You may call me your royal highness, his majesty, or any other honorific, really."

"Uh, yeah..." The man looked away.

"I mean, what did you expect? He's a prince." The Hero reminded.

".....Solidarity..."

The man looked back up, the prince looking at the floor, "...Or you may call me Solidarity..." He looked up again, "...And you?"

"Oh, I'm Impulse- oh, wait, sorry..." The Hero chuckled.

"...I go by Tango." The man smiled.

"...Tango, huh... Interesting name. I don't think I've heard of you before." He then snickered to himself, "Then again, I've been down here for so long, I might've forgotten."

"Just long has he been down here?" Impulse, the Hero, questioned.

"Too long. Which is why you must slay him!" The Narrator hissed, looking at his nails.

Tango asked, "So, um, how would I go about getting you out of here?"

"You can't, don't bother."

"I'm guessing you don't have the key, then? I'm sure there's a key somewhere around here. And, if there isn't, well... we could put that knife to good use."

"He isn't suggesting what I think he's suggesting, right...?" Impulse asked.

"He is, I'm sure of it."

Tango ignored the two, "I don't want you to hurt yourself."

"Ohoho, hero, are you?" Solidarity snickered, "Don't bother. You were sent here to kill me, right? Do you even know why?"

"...You're meant to end the world."

"DON'T JUST TELL HIM THAT!" The Narrator yelled.

The blonde prince laughed hysterically, "Ahahahahaha! Is that why they threw me down here?!" He giggled maniacally, "If I'm supposed to be capable of ending the world, then how did I wind up here, chained to a wall? Have they told you why I'm allegedly so 'dangerous~?'"

"No. They haven't. I was hoping you'd be able to tell me."

"Ending the world seems like an awful lot for just one person to do. I wouldn't even know where to start!" He hummed, "However, at the end of the day, whatever the two of us have going on down here is about trust. Whoever sent you to 'slay me,' claimed I was a threat to the world, but didn't tell you why. That doesn't sound right to me, and I'm sure it doesn't sound right to you, which is why you dropped the knife and why we're talking." The prince then smiled brightly, "I could easily say I'd love to just live a nice, peaceful, quiet life in a cottage in a flower field, or how I'd like to open up a ranch with a ton of chickens, cows, sheep, horses, maybe even a couple of cats!" Solidarity's smile fell, face going cold, "But what good is my word? I can say any number of 'good things' or things I think you want to hear, but at the end of the day, you don't know me. So what good is my word in a situation like this?" He then looked down at his nails, "It's all about blind trust. And tell me, who do you trust? The prisoner, the victim, the prince clearly incapable of ending the world? Or do you trust whoever put me down here?"

"Okay, I think we've talked enough." Tango stood.

"Oh? Have you figured out what you want to do with me?" Solidarity raised an eyebrow, body stiff, still on guard.

"You know what you have to do!" The Narrator exclaimed.

Tango grabbed the chains, looking over them, "I'm getting you out of here."

"What- You've got to be kidding me!"

The prince looked up at him with wide eyes before smiling slightly.

The Narrator groaned, "You walk up to the chains binding the prince to the wall and give them a tug. They're large and heavy, far too solid for you to even imagine trying to break them apart."

"Damn." Tango hissed.

"If you don't have the key, maybe you should go looking for it. I'm sure it's somewhere upstairs."

"Doubtful. Only thing up there was a table and the knife."

"Yes because whoever threw him down here intended to keep him here, never wanting him to see the light of day again." The Narrator hissed.

"Oh? Then I don't mind loosing an arm." Solidarity spoke with complete nonchalance.

"If we were stuck down here for long enough, I'm sure we'd be nonchalant about cutting our way out. Anything to finally be free." Impulse shrugged.

"I'll be right back." Tango reassured, going to the stairs.

"You attempt to make your way out of the basement-" The Narrator leaned against the wall, a smirk on his face as the door slammed closed, "-buuuuuuuut the door at the top of the stairs slams shut. You hear the click of a lock sliding into place."

"Is someone else here?" Impulse asked.

Tango ran up the stairs, trying the door, banging on it, "Hey! Who's there?! Let me out!"

"You're not leaving until your job is done."

"You set us up!" Impulse hissed.

Tango made his way back down the stairs, Solidarity looking at him.

"Seems you're locked down here as well." The prince commented.

"It would have been soooooo much easier if you'd simply slain her like you were suppose to!"

"Easier for who?"

"Easier for everyone."

"I'm really sorry..." Tango apologized.

"No matter. The knife." Solidarity pointed to it, "Pick it up and cut me out of here."

Tango hesitated, but did as he was told. He grabbed the knife and took the blade. He put the edge of the knife against the prince's skin.

"What're-?! Uggggh, against your better judgement, you place the blade against the prince's arm, just above the massive, unyielding chain. The blade is sharp and you make quick work of it. Before long, you're able to crack through bone. Soon enough, he pulls the bleeding stub of his arm through the iron gauntlet."

"He didn't so much as utter a sound..." Impulse said with concern.

Solidarity stood up.

"Free from his bindings, the prince turns to face you, his fierce gaze meeting your eyes."

"A-Are you okay?" Tango asked.

"Fine." The prince responded.

"How is he so composed after loosing an arm? It's like he's not even bothered by it!"

"Thank you. Now, let's go." Solidarity began to walk to the stairs.

Tango followed after him.

"No. We won't have any of that." Tango felt his body freeze up, unable to react. The Narrator held his wrists and Tango suddenly felt like he was merely wearing a suit of his body, unable to control it, "The stakes are too high, you can't just let him escape into the world! I can't just let him escape into the world!" The man watched as the prince approached the bottom stair, "As the prince approaches the bottom stair, your body steps forward and raises the blade."

As the man narrated, Tango felt himself sluggishly preforming the action.

"Wait, this isn't fair!" The man watched as Impulse's hand grabbed his wrist, trying to stop him, "You can't just do that!"

"Watch me."

Tango struggled but choked out, "M-MOVE!"

"Stop that."

"I thought this was a little too easy..." Solidarity murmured.

The Narrator growls, "Your body lunges forward to sink the blade into her back, but the prince swiftly moves out of the way before you can connect." He hissed, "Stop resisting me!"

"R-R-Run-!" Tango choked out, attempting to stab Solidarity again, the prince dodging one more.

"I am trying to get you out of here alive!"

The man held his own wrist down, struggling against it, Impulse trying to help him fight the Narrator, "P-Please-! Get a-away!"

"The blade! Move. The. Blade!"

"You're doing your best to help me, aren't you?" The prince asked softly. He gently tilted Tango's head up, the two meeting one another's eyes, "I can see the conflict in your eyes." He cupped Tango's cheek, "I'll make this quick."

"He steps forward and pries the blade from your rigid hands." The Narrator sighed, giving up control.

"Maybe I'll see you in another life?"

"And then he slits your throat with an almost clinical ease."

Tango sputtered, coughing as he grabbed his throat. He fell forward, Solidarity catching him. He gently fell to his knees, holding Tango in his lap as the other bled.

"His face remains unchanging as you both fall to the ground, blood flowing from your butchered neck."

Tango looked up, seeing an unreadable, blank expression placed on the prince's face. Behind him, stood the Narrator and Impulse, the brunette covering his mouth in shock.

"T-This... This is the end, isn't it?" Impulse asked.

"I'm afraid it is." The Narrator closed his eyes, with a sigh.

Tango looked at the prince, who smiled softly at him. Gently, Solidarity closed his eyelids.

"Everything goes dark, and you die. I hope it was worth it."

[galaxicalsart]

Hey look, a pile of candy!

Okay so once I had a dream that I found a clutch of abandoned griffin eggs and took them home because what else can ya do

And when they hatched I held up a blue one and said, probably jokingly, that I was going to name him Skittles.

So, here are Skittles and his siblings!

They are my children and I love them all dearly

Featured characters: Skittles (he/him), Starburst (she/her), Razzle (she/her), Mamba (he/him), Jellybean (he/him)

(Please don’t repost, but do reblog!)

@emmettnet

Fun fact, each of them is based on different pairs of macaw species, as well as a singular member of Panthera:

Skittles: Scarlet macaw / Hyacinth macaw + (Melanistic) Leopard

Starburst: Blue and yellow macaw / Blue-throated macaw + Jaguar

Razzle: Gold-collared macaw / Red-bellied macaw + Tiger

Mamba: Glaucous macaw / Spix’s macaw + Snow leopard

Jellybean: Great green macaw / Military macaw + Lion

Ship's Log #2

All the eggs were hatched. It was determined that a good lot of them would be better off staying in Light Flight unfortunately. It's always sad to see a family split up, especially with such young dragonets, but it was what was best for them as our new home wont yet have the infrastructure to keep them safe. We're headed for the Reclaimer's Glacier and without a den dug out already they'd likely freeze without the elemental immunity Ice flighted dragonets have.

The current travel plan is to stick close to the shore, that way we can anchor and send someone over if we need food or water.

We're set to hopefully reach the Temptest Spire region of the Lightning Flight by sundown, though with that storm always brewing around the Turrets we'd be lucky to.

Macaw 95722470

I think I brought up him being either a duck or a type of macaw :0 there are so many different birds that people could be

But pekins are so adorable and some of them can be so /big/ I actually went to check up on an old neighbor lady that we hatched eggs for and she has these two massive pekin drakes and it's always like "!!!" but also a great joy when I see them

- 🐓🍻

soooo true!! it’s kinda hard to decide sometimes but i do my best djdjdjkke

but aww that’s so cool!!!! i don’t see ducks super often anymore and definitely not real big ones like that! in school we had a bunch around the pond on our campus so i always think about those guys whenever ducks come up haha i loved them ❤️ they’d just be like “quack quack quack” digging for bugs in the grass and stuff on your way to class LOL ugh i wish i could have ducks or have a neighbor with them they’re just so funny

If "Birds of a feather flock together," which bird am I?

Numerous types of birds inhabit our beautiful planet: peacocks, mockingbirds, macaws, puffins, hummingbirds, eagles, and more. Each bird is unique in its location, plumage, eggs they hatch, and their respective bird communities. Regardless of bird species, their communities are outstanding to view, as they all stay by their fellow bird while they look for places to build nests or migrate across the globe.

After all, birds of a feather flock together!

Wait... Did you think I planned to spend this entire post discussing birds?

No, my friends, this is my Psychology of Social Media post for the current week - birds are not in the picture here! But why bring up birds in the first place?

It's all about Social Media, of course!!

Social media can do much for society as a whole, as well as for individual people. If you remember from last week, I mentioned what types of motivations people have throughout their lives and what can motivate people to use social media. Social interaction was listed as one of the motivations for using social media, but there's more to this topic than was previously discussed. Let's dive a bit further!

If you look closely at the numerous ways one can communicate on practically any social networking site, you'll find that it all boils down to creating a community. As humans are social creatures, we are motivated to build relationships and communities with one another. But what encourages us to build, find, or join a community online?

Kim, Wang, and Oh (2016) found that the collective need to belong greatly encouraged social media use among college students, stating that if they had a more significant amount of desire to need to belong in a community that enjoyed their presence, the greater the probability that they will turn to social media for more communication (Kim et al., 2016).

Wohn, Carr, and Hayes (2016) shared that perceived social support is essential to driving the motivations of social media users through likes/favorites, including the depth of the relationship shared by the users who like/favorite the posts significantly increases perceived social support (Wohn et al., 2016). This means the more a user connects with other like-minded users and creates/posts content that their fellow users would enjoy, the more likes/favorites they will receive, building that sense of perceived social support.

Have you ever heard of a term called homophily? No, it isn't a fancy term for the breakfast food known as grits nor a new evolution of humans. Homophily is the tendency to branch out to, or feel attracted towards, people who are similar to you. In other words... "birds of a feather flock together"! (See, I brought it back to birds. There was a reason for that introduction, after all!)

Figeac and Favre (2016) state that online conduct that is geared towards homophily can strengthen the internalized notion of certain relationships becoming enhanced (Figeac & Favre, 2016). In other words, people who continually seek out like-minded individuals through online communities feel a sense of "togetherness" as they interact more frequently through social media. There are many avenues that social media users can utilize to find that sense of community, including online groups (such as ones found on Facebook) and online forums (such as subreddits found on Reddit).

Put some rhythm on that Algorithm!

So, how do social networking sites encourage even further use? Through an algorithm, of course! No, an algorithm isn't one of America's vice presidents playing a beat on the drums (here's looking at you, Al Gore). Instead, an algorithm is actually a set of computer rules and calculations used by various social media platforms to consistently generate content for users to interact with.

When most people think of an algorithm, they think of TikTok, which is famously known for relying on an algorithm to continually churn out content for users to view and interact with. In fact, many users on TikTok joke about the type of content that commonly populates their "FYP" or For You Pages. In fact, I've noticed when my siblings and friends send me certain types of TikToks, I tend to see similar content floating through my own FYP.

Homophily + Algorithm = ?

This means homophily and algorithms work together to encourage users to seek out like-minded individuals through online communities and continually view/share content that is geared toward those communities through social media. Something as small as sharing cute pet videos with colleagues who enjoy pets or something as significant as sharing politically charged content with friends within the same political spectrum can encourage continued social media use globally.

The number of online communities is vast. Some communities can easily blend together, whereas others stand out independently. No matter which online community you feel pulled towards, the algorithm will ensure you view similarly themed content, which will markedly increase your continued use of social media as a whole.

Happy algorithm surfing, everyone!

Alright, this sounds super fun! Thank you to @faytelumos for tagging me!

Karim: While seemingly charming and charismatic, his biggest weakness is a genuine compliment. He starts blushing and utters a polite thank you, but he really just short-circuits and thinks about it for the rest of the day.

Nour: As tough as he is, this guy's kryptonite is literally any animal ever. He knows more animal fun facts than National Geographic and may have squealed once when his macaw's eggs hatched. Baby animals can attempt to tear his guts out, and he'd still love them to death. And Laila, she often leaves him breathless by simply smiling at him

Asser: Sugar. This boy is such a fiend for anything sweet that he still eats spoons of pure, refined sugar on occasion. His cup of tea/usual coffee order is enough to give a full city diabetes.

Laila: Stories. She likes history but mostly prefers fantasy and adventure novels and comic books. She loves a good story and can spend hours reading or coming up with one. She actually risked her own life to save a novel. As much as she hates to admit it, Mr Nour's presence may as well be pretty addictive.

[meteor752]

Double life except instead of just the sharing of pain and lives they also share a child together

Exactly what the title says

Like, one month after the gang was all dropped into Double Life, they all got a notif about seven new entities spawning in. When checking spawn, then gang finds six multicolored baskets all containing a child, an egg, and a letter. The letter is from The Watchers or smt, essentially saying “Sup, here’s some kids for y’all, lol take care”. Panic ensues

Also all the names are very arbitrary apart from one being chosen for a dumb pun

Liana no last name given

Professional Scammer and pathological liar, Liana is the fledgling that hatched from the egg belonging to Scar and Grian

She’s a manipulator at heart, a con artist through and through, tho she hides it behind sickeningly sweet words, large puppy eyes and bright colors

Has great relationships with both of her dads, even though their parenting styles are very different

Grian is a total helicopter parent, Liana was barely allowed to leave the base as a kid in fear of her getting hurt

Scar does not give a shit, she could be telling him that she’s off to summon a wither and he’d just ask her to be home for dinner

She inherited the “Looks like a cinnamon roll but can actually kill you” vibe from Grian which she uses fully to her advantage

Scarlet Macaw hybrid, though her wings are too small for her to actually use them to fly, but they do help her glide

Dressed in strikingly bright colored suits just to throw people off, and smokes a pipe for pure aesthetic

Can’t build for shit, she’s a shame to the family

Dating Jassy

Wes Double-SV

Local stressed out mom friend, Wes is the baby from the yellow basket belonging to Impulse and BDubs

He’s an overachiever, always feeling a need to be perfect and do everything right

Suffers from a lot of OCD and anxiety

His relationship with his dads are a bit rocky, especially with BDubs

Both Impulse and BDubs are a bit like those Beauty Pageant moms, always feeling a need to prove that their child is the best. This is partly the reason for Wes’ disorders. Impulse can be a bit more chill than his hubby however

He does love his dads though

A thing that does add to his stress level however is the fact that all his friends are fucking maniacs and he’s the only voice of reason they have

Part imp like his father, his horns are his pride and joy

The tallest of the squad, usually carry the others if they get tired

Has a bit of the clock obsession, he’s got both a pocket watch and a rolex just because

Dating Jekiv

Gertrude Statz-Diggity Dawg

Chillest person to have ever walked this earth, Gertrude is the pup from the blue basket belonging to Ren and BigB

She’s a Redstoner, a damn good one at that too, and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty

Does not give af about anything, just here to vibe

Her relationship with Ren is very casual, they’re more like dude bros than father and daughter

BigB is the more parental of the two, he’s the one who baked her cookies when she felt sad and told her stories when she couldn’t sleep

Dog hybrid and part werewolf, once every month she becomes ‘Weretrude’ (That was the dumb pun)

A big gal, second tallest of the gang, standing at six five, and ripped af, wears tank tops to show off her muscles

Wears shades so much that the light actually hurts her eyes at this point

Still got a lot of dog instincts to deal with, so don’t go throwing any sticks around her because she will just up and chase them before anyone knows what’s actually going on

Dating Novo

Jonathan ‘Johnny’ Tek

The server’s dashing charmer boy, Johnny is the country boy that was found in the red basket belonging to Jimmy and Tango

A true boy of the farm, this lad gets up every day at five am to do his chores, whistling a country tune as he does so

He takes more after Tango in terms of looks, but Jimmy when it comes to personality. He has his father’s blazing temper though

He’s the apple of his parents eye, an absolute breeze to handle as a kid which helped a lot because they’re both disasters

Talks with a very, very, thick southern accent that no one knows where it comes from, since no one else on the server has it

He plays the banjo, because of course he does

Demon hybrid, tries to hide his more demonic features like the horns and tail as to not scare the animals

Secretly kind of a monster fucker

Aromantic, so not dating anyone

Jassy Smallishbeans

Anime ninja extraordinaire, Jassy is the girl that was found in the gray basket belonging to Etho and Joel

Tries her dang hardest to have a cool and intimidating presence like Etho, but she’s a bit too much of a goofball to be able to

The biggest fucking fan of puns, will go to serious lengths to tell a bad and witty joke

Idolizes Etho, he’s the coolest fucking person in her eyes and she wants to be just like him

He’s very protective and constantly worries about his daughter, even if he tries to act like he’s not

Joel is a bit of an awkward parent, he tries his best with her but he’s not cut out for parenting

Jassy is genuinely a very good fighter, stealthy enough to sneak past skulk sensors with no issue, and a master marksman. She just has a problem keeping a straight face sometimes

Has a few anime attributes, such as the unnatural white and ridiculously styled hair, a very strange way of eating*, and the swirly eyes whenever she gets knocked out

Lean mean speedy machine

Has to wear a mask covering her mouth to hide the goofy smile she gets constantly

Dating Liana

(*That thing Anime girls do when they take the smallest fucking bite out of something and then immediately like, orgasms or something it’s so weird, look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about)

Jekiv Inthelittlewood

The Half dead sass master, Jekiv is the zombie child that was found in the green basket belonging to Cleo and Martyn

Is very monotone without really meaning to, but yeah this boy will roast the shit out of you

He was mostly raised by Cleo, since Martyn wasn’t too keen on having a child. He gets along great with his mom, but his relationship with his dad is pretty much non existent

Martyn tried to reforge it when Jekiv became a teenager, but the damage was already done and the daddy issues had settled in

Absolutely fucking adores frogs, they’re his buddies and his pockets are filled with them

Kind of hates his sorta Step-Brother Novo

He is a zombie hybrid, which means that he can’t sleep, his skin is rotting away, he limps when he walks, and he’s sensitive to sunlight

Wears a light pink cloak to cover up his skin. Is also always dressed in pastel to counter his kind of horrory and gory look

Dating Wes

Novo Major-Moon

Unhinged freakster of the server, Novo is the half elf in from purple basket belonging to Scott and Pearl

Superstitious as all hell, wears a four clover necklace around his neck, a rabbit foot around his ankle and had his pockets filled with acorns

He thinks his mom is really cool and awesome, and even if Scott had the majority of the custody this bitch still turned out insane

He’s got them crazy eyes, a slight twitch to his movement and absolutely zero filter for his mouth, spouting out every random thought he could think of

He’s absolutely tiny, standing at barely five feet, with zero muscle, which makes him the ultimate twink

His makeup look consists of heavy eyeliner and then a spray bottle to the face, giving him the running mascara look. He knows he’s unhinged and he commits to the aesthetic

His dad thinks he should calm down a little and such, but he does support his son in his weird makeup and his beliefs

Adores annoying his kinda Step-Brother Jekiv

Dating Gertrude

Was this an excuse for me to make a bunch of fankids? Yes. Am I ashamed? Not in the slightest, no

Also if ur wondering Wtf kinda names these are, I was just sitting with a document typing random shit in until I found something that fit. Sometimes I got something nice, like Gertrude, and sometimes I just got a random bunch of letters, like Jekiv

I made some cute ship names for the couples as well, so we’ve got Stress and Sass, Tol and Smol, and Pirate and Parrot. Y’all can probs figure out who’s who.

But yeah I had fun doing this, character creation is one of my favorite things and I’d say it’s one of my biggest strengths as well, which is actually kind of sad

Also when I started this it was just the end of session three, and like now two couples have died so rip Team Ranchers and The Box duo, you’ll forever live in my heart

Edit: These babies now have DESIGNS! Check ‘em out!

Edit 2: These babies now have some CHARACTER TRAITS! Also DEATH!

[surplus-of-sarcasm]

A "WIP game" Ask

I was really curious about these two titles in particular:

Nour is a bad person (use this as an excuse to talk/write about your fav OC, cause I know I would lol)

Literal Simping (I just really appreciate the affectiveness of this title: short & simple yet alluring at the same time 🤣)

Okay!

So "Nour is a bad person" was a ridiculously short entry where he tricks his longtime crush into drinking from his cup. When he points this out to her, it leaves her ridiculously flustered, and she storms off, a little mad at him for finding the whole situation hilarious. (only because she likes him back!)

All this happens while her older brother (mc) is secretly watching and somewhat annoyed out of jealousy. (Classic why is my best friend falling in love with my sister, I don't like it!)

As an excuse to talk about Nour and why I love him so much, here we go! (I will ramble a lot, so this is a warning)

I like his character because there's so much more to him than what meets the eye. He starts out as an emotionally repressed guy with a resting murder face and a tragic backstory. But this is a reflexive defence mechanism that hides his very caring nature.

He has this devil-may-care attitude which is both a blessing and a curse. He pays no heed to people's insults or opinions of him on one hand, but his lack of response to being hurt (accidentally by one of his friends) can cause some problems. Like a subconscious retaliation with words that are somewhat cruel. He's angry and he doesn't know it, not malicious. He struggles with mental health issues, sometimes it can get severe.

But, he generally likes making people he cares about happy, and his love language is gift-giving. This might stem from the fact that he was born and still remains very wealthy, being the only child of two multi-millionaires. Even though the rest of the main cast are middle class! (He doesn't care)

He loves animals and will melt down the tough guy exterior to scream to his friends about his macaw's eggs hatching. He has a lot of pets all with very weird names.( A bird named Spinach, a cat named Hedgehog, a tortoise named Rabbit (based on the fable!) and a fish named Crispy. He might get a husky and name it Nugget).

He's stylish and put-together. His talents include: gymnastics, a wicked aim with long-range weapons, digging up dirt on targets detective-style and he's the best at medical stuff like stitches. (not a doctor yet, but he might be. He's still a teen in the story!)

He eats a lot and never gains weight and he swears farrr tooo muchh (he gets a swear jar from his mum). (there's no swearing in the story, but this is a running joke)

Oh, and the romance! I made my irl bsf go nuts for the romance in a book series I didn't finish. It's not a romance novel, but it has romantic subplots. Nour and his crush start out hating each other's guts despite being on the same team. They have very different personalities, so that's where the conflict comes from. Buuut, smth I don't want to spoil happens and they both reconcile, realising they were being dumb to each other for no good reason. They become friends, realising they have a lot of common interests. That friendship evolves into a hopeless mutual crush and so much pining. Mc is kinda annoyed that his best friend is into his sister (but he secretly ships them together and keeps denying it!) Nour thinks that this girl is literally someone straight out of his wildest dreams and he seriously hopes she likes him back. (Will they end up together? Not revealing yet hehe!)

___________________________________________

As for Literal Simping, it's honestly a short self-indulgent piece about mc trying to handle compliments.

He overhears a few girls talking about someone that somewhat fits his description. He waves it off, until they mention his exact eye colour. He experiments with walking up to them casually. One of the girls though, is completely disinterested in him. (No she doesn't end up secretly liking him, she really thinks he's not special, and doesn't simp at all over him)

He pretends to be cool about it, using his outwardly charming personality, but internally, he's absolutely flustered because he's really a huge dork, and he can't handle compliments. He's also not used to this kind of attention despite being generally handsome. (unlike with the incredibly confident Nour, he does care about people's opinions of him somewhat, but his confidence isn't super sucky tbh.)

He gets asked to take off his glasses, and he complies (because he's a sucker for that kind of attention), and he blushes even though he really didn't want to! (He feels better about it when he overhears a girl saying it's cute)

His sister tells him to come with her because the team needs him for something, and she lightly teases him about it.

His two other friends mercilessly tease him about it, and he's veryyy annoyed!

Ironically, his actual crush isn't in the group of girls there. And nothing goes on between any of those girls and him. They only think he's good-looking. It's surface-level attraction and not actual love.

This is one of the rare instances where girls talk together about boys in the story. Because there's a lot of that in fiction anyway. It was mainly a funny scene with a little insight onto what mc is really like. He's good at crafting a persona to hide what's he's really like.
