Hypothetical reigns

an exploration of where I think they'd be if they had been chosen by The Tide instead of Trouty.

Hake would fail, and sturgeon would rule with an iron fist.

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

"Alternate 15th century. Young Imri is one of the few knights in the royal service, who gets their own angel and devil. The king is killed in a strange accident, and Imri and his companions must investigate his death, where everyone has a different opinion on the matter."

i love making fanart for games that don't exist. At least i have their models :_)

[benjaminthecoathanger]

okay, because i saw a poll earlier and i thought the choices weren't clear enough and also the answers i saw to it annoyed me and also i'm curious:

NOTES:

I am including having watched gameplay of a game and not having played it as having watched the source material

In this context if you are writing fic/making art and you are not being commissioned to do so. This is purely for funsies

You getting into something because you saw a post/gifset/video about it and then watched the source material does not count. That's just how you get into new things.

Goncharov does not count because it's not real. I'll break kayfabe here I don't care.

People who say "I wish Jack Seward was the same except he wasn't running a lunatic asylum and being a problematic psychiatrist :/" you don't want Jack you want a The Big Bang Theory character.

i think, for me, he's just utterly, painfully human. i've said the same about jonathan before, but if you're not taking the whole of the character, malpractice and all, what IS the point lol.

the internal war that jack seems to be constantly fighting feels like a shadow of the myriad self-arguments that stoker seems to be making within the novel dracula itself. which is interesting! and implies that, along with multiple other characters, that a fair amount of stoker himself went into him - and really uh. recontextualises some of his relationships with the other characters.

like i DO emphathise deeply with his reclusive, obsessive nature, love him for his loyalty to his friends and genuinely selfless actions, and yet the deeply uncomfortable parts of his character - the parts that stem from the obsession and reclusion and self-dislike - are just as as integral to him, and make him a far more interesting character to pull apart. his selflessness is real! yet the other side of it - the separation of self, the self loathing, his self destructive habits - tie deeply in with this. the fact that they manifest how they do - in his use of renfield, a powerless individual obstensibly miles below him in the asylum's social ladder, as some kind of unwilling sounding board for his own mental illness illustrates the mundane nature of evil that lurks, whether stoker intended or not, at the edges of the book. not only does he not recognise the humanity of those in his power - he often refuses to recognise his own. his examination of renfield comes across as a kind of self-examination, in which renfield himself is purely the neglected victim in the fallout. he keeps trying, but his attempts to divorce himself from his own humanity - the good and the uglier side - belie just how agonisingly human he is.

tl;dr: he contains multitudes

Some Plex History things for Sewerhell Sunday:

There are only two animatronics from the closed Carnival attraction that haven't been scrapped to Sewerhell. The Halloween themed Jack-O-Moon (well, Eclipse really but his official name is Moon), and the spring themed Chica.

There's quite a lot of Chicas over the course of the Plex's lifespan. She's used as a filler character by Fazbear, meaning wherever there's a gap, they stick Chica there and call it a day. She's the most replaced of the animatronics, and is very rarely running an attraction actually built for her. There's also been a few more Cupcake animatronics than Chicas, with the most recent Chica being the only one to not have a Cupcake of her own at any point. She was intended to have one, but after the last Chica, they decided it wasn't worth it, despite the Cupcake already being built and ready to go.

I'm being fucking tormented by disconnected scene ideas for my 'portal ford gets worn down bit by bit into rejoining bill in the multiverse' fic idea. imagine Bill keeping a close eye on who Ford builds friendships with and who he trusts the most, and eventually finding someone Ford trusts who he is able to make a deal with. And then he possesses them so he can have a chat with Ford face-to-face, with the bonus effect of shattering Ford's ability to trust anyone he meets in the multiverse, thus making sure he stays just as isolated as he was when Bill first met him

writing patterns tag game

tagged by @veliseraptor which makes this a little funny for me bc it's like 'wow one of my favorite writers has influenced how i write. shocking!!' anyway this is also cheating a little bc I didn't want to just do all the one-shots from 'in the orchid hour'

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 posted fics and see if there’s a pattern.

Hua Cheng whines a little, already breathless. (Cinnamon and cloves)

“I’m going to say it,” Zizhen says abruptly. (a truth universal)

Her brother was easy to love and difficult to know. (non nobis nati)

The first thing Amelia learns after her life ends is that it is very clear when her husband is in the room and when it’s the angel wearing his body. (where you go (i will go))

The first time he meets Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Mu Qing barely makes it out alive. (til my feet are memory)

Wen Qing has never liked Lan Wangji. (sixteen stitches)

When he was a child, Xie Lian knew every gentle touch a mother or friend could offer. (for saints have hands)

All silk begins with death. (mori)

When he drives the dowel into his master’s heart, Lang Qianqiu does not remove Fangxin’s mask. (wolf trees)

He did not come back to her all at once. (this, this)

...yeah I basically tend to either start in the middle of Things Happening or with like...a central idea, I guess? I like to keep first lines relatively short and to the point and ideally have some irony in them + some establishment of The Sitch. I tend not to stew over first lines as much as I do last lines but that's partially because usually they've been percolating in the back of my mind for a few hours/days while the fic concept (and words) slowly coalesce so. ????

there's this thing that happens where i?? forget I'm not jewish?? technically I'm an atheist (i guess) but i was raised by and around jewish people, on jewish customs, my entire chosen family is jewish, i spent the majority of my elementary years attending after school care at a synagogue that taught jewish history, and i feel a far stronger connection to Judaism than any other religion, but the extent of my actual jewish heritage is around 0.5% Ashkenazi and again, I'm literally an athiest. ridiculous phenomenon
