I KEEP HAVING KINGOHGER THOUGHTS!!!

(Spoilers ahead!)

So here's what we know about the Royal Armament programs.

The Ohger Calibur ZERO has existed for over 2000 years and has always been in the Hastie's possession. Its way of activation is a blood sample from the bloodline.

Jeramie's KumonoSlayer belonged to his father which also meant that his dad was able to transform into SpiderKumonos as well.

Yanma and N'kosopa developed the OhgerCaliburs by basing them off of ZERO but never got the Ohgai Busou programming done until Yanma studied the Shugods and Calibur. (HimeRita had the Caliburs when they took the throne; long before Yanma touched one)

Rhyniol even noted after everyone transformed that they are nostalgic forms. (Tho I'm not sure if he's specifically talking about King KuwagataOhger, but considering what I said about Jeramie, it's possible he could've seen the same for the others as well)

Now Chikyuu had 6 Heroes. 5 of which became Kings while one was "banished". Considering ZERO was made specifically for the Hastie bloodline and the same for the KumonoSlayer, surely the other heroes would've had their own weapons with their own Ohgai Busou programming. The only thing that separates them from the other two would possibly be that their weapons were destroyed during the war which prevented them from passing on their weapon compared to the other two.

I don't know when exactly the Caliburs were made before they got the Armament programming, but I do know it was during the time when the key to activating ZERO was lost which was why it has the beetle horn and a way to unite the five Kingdoms.

But the biggest question I have is what kind of weapon did the other 4 Kings have? Were they also blades like ZERO and KumonoSlayer? Or were they weapons that inspired the development of the King's Weapon that came with 5 distinct Modes?

Sword (ZERO/Shugoddom)

Gun (N'kosopa)

Sickle (Ishabana)

Bow (Gokkan)

Claw (Toufu)

And while Racles is able to use all 5 Modes, the other Kings solely rely on the modes they are primarily seen using.

But what about the mural that shows the 5 Heroes with swords?

Well that's the thing. Jeramie was the one who wrote the legend of KingOhger, not his father. It's possible he either didn't know about the different weapons or he simply used swords to make drawing easier and to fit the idea and the motif of the season's team.

Then again, I don't know how much of the 6 Heroes were completely thought out considering we never met the rest of the original team. All I know is that there is a lot to think about and the possibility on why Kings of each country were raised to fight with a specific weapon.

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?

(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)

Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:

My brain is so full of Bees about Post-Shift 2.

It's a fan game that was delayed for 4 years -- by the time it released, fnaf fangames as a whole were not as popular as they had been, & most people in the scene had forgotten about Post-Shift 1, so not a lot of people heard about it/played it.

Worse still is the people who did talk about the game. Pretty unanimously, the consensus was this: this game is the craziest, most insane fnaf fangame. It's overly difficult with mechanics that have no rhyme or reason to them & tutorials that are wordy, unhelpful, & sometimes actively mislead the player, meaning you need to comb through a lot of text only to be misinformed. It's not as infamous as some other fangames, but it definitely was talked about very poorly.

In general, I think most of these criticisms were blown up out of proportion, but I can't really disagree with most people's problems -- it is difficult & wordy, & rather hard to understand. I think, however, that the game is still 1. Really fun, 2. Not a bad game at all, &, most importantly, 3. Is a free fucking game that was clearly a passion project. Most damn fangames never get off the fucking ground when made in groups because the creators will never make a red cent off the thing -- this game was made by one dude for 4 years & delivered to people for free. It didn't ask anything of you except to accept it as a difficult game & to not go in with wild expectations. The dev just wanted to make a game that was rough, but he also wanted to make a game that felt unique & was fun. & It is fun, too, is the damn thing.

🧸 and 🍡 for your new f/o? :)

HELLOOOOO HIIIIIIII yesyeysyesyeses explodes

🧸 - how would your f/o try to comfort you if you were upset?

comforting people is not his strong suit believe it or not! he's clueless and unsure about it, from the amount of things he went through, so comforting me is a bit strange... but he's VERY observant and picks up on the little things and will use that to his advantage to help comfort me in his own way. whatever it may be, on offering me a comfort object or seemingly listening even if he's acting like he's not listening.

blargh, i haven't answered these in a long while i hope that answer made sense >_<

🍡 - what nicknames do you have for each other?

OH OH OH HSODHFJDGFDH THIS IS ONE I THINK ABOUT SOOOOO MUCH IT'S EMBARRASSING

i ended up calling him mon amour (and before mi amor. tbh atp both) a lot for some reason??? and it just stuck sorry everyone

there's probably MORE nicknames i can call him but you get that one for now.....

his is probably [REDACTED]. oh. yikes. whoops! okay! guess you're not finding that out huh? overtime, though he'd use sweet endearing nicknames; kind of old-fashioned, like sweetheart or darling. probably. it's one of those moments that on rare occasions he'll use them

[thegraphitepencils]

The weekly catch-up phone calls with my soulmate who broke up with me “for my own good” yet still expects me to be his best friend are becoming more a source of anxiety than comfort lately folks

Not to mention Kpop on main but...

Man, I'm genuinely sad at what happened/is happening with Seunghan, he literally did not deserve any of this. I genuinely hope he and the other members of Riize make it out okay because what the fuck.

#dang it do i have a new oc now

Sounds like!! I'd love to hear more if you've got it!

(referring to my tags on this post)

You will meet a stranger, sometimes, if you make a habit to frequent taverns, inns, halls for game, or even the one tree where the young Bracegirdle cousins sneak off to play marbles. Well, you will like as not meet many strangers, except in the last case, but this one will be different. Or perhaps you get lucky, and don't frequent such places, but find yourself in one unexpectedly, and meet them regardless.

Everyone in Gondor knows someone who knows someone who met Lady Luck, no one has met her themself. If you do, starry-eyed romantics say, you'll be blessed with good fortune for all your days. The pragmatists tell you you'll be blessed with the good sense to discern a scam.

He may smirk at you after winning a bet, some dark-haired man, using his earnings to buy a round for the bar. It's always a different man, but it always goes to Alwed's tab. It keeps the crowd from getting too rowdy, even if the more superstitious get on edge.

No one remembers meeting them the first time, but dwarves with common sense avoid Audr's shell games and silver-toothed smile- you always win, but it's never worth it.

A woman with greying-gold hair and stiff fingers might call herself Eadrun, and challenge you to a game of dice. Few decline, and far fewer win.

For as few elves remain in Middle Earth, the one who calls himself Herendil and laughs as though his name is a joke should be recognizable. He seems young and lighthearted in a way most have lost, but he will play you cards, win just as much as he loses, and disappear, never recognized.

A hobbit-lass may giggle, red curls gleaming in the sun, and introduce herself as Peony Sandheaver, her family is visiting from Bree, and she wants to see how Shire-hobbits play Jacks.

Sometimes an orc prays over a set of knucklebones, knowing that at least one god will hear one prayer. Orcs have little luck in battle, but uncanny luck with dice.

There are countless stories, just as many true as not. Countless names, far more unnamed figures, always just out of place enough wherever they are to be interesting and promise new tales, never enough to provoke suspicion, not at first.

Even those in the Blessed Realm may find this dark-eyed stranger. Always dark-eyed, like bottles of dark glass. They stop by Aulë's workshop on occasion, to learn and suggest and play new games. They never win the first round, but most have the sense not to bet anything they aren't willing to lose on the second.

Oromë's people call them Umbarnica with a laugh and a toast in welcome. They thrive in the drunken revels after a successful hunt, sharp as ever as they dance from game to game, cackling at ill-advised propositions offered as collateral for or against a bet. Usually this means them winning to avoid it, a frequent enough occurrence as-is, but every now and then they'll decide to let someone get lucky. The bragging rights are the real reward.

And there are no guarantees with this stranger. No way to ensure their favor, though many ways to get their attention, few good. They like irony, take pleasure in hubris reaching its fall. They love superstition, even if they don't always honor it, and they love stories. There are gods that can be mistaken for kind, they are not one of them, created to serve the king the Dark Lord could have been. Their favorites are fickle, their grudges subtle but long-held. They love cheaters, unless they're at the end of the attempt. They will always catch you, and you will always regret it. They slink through candle-shadows and pipe-smoke, grinning, dance in town squares turned to faire grounds, curl up on comfy chairs indoors on rainy days.

But sometimes, in these days, you won't meet a stranger at all. Sometimes your storyteller will get a bright-dark glint in their eyes, and some dice will roll strangely high and some dice will roll strangely low and either way the story will be better for it. And if the next time the group meets you need to take a moment to remind the storyteller exactly what happened last session, well. That's why you take notes.

So pray to the dice-god, card-master, quick-sighted. It might do you no good, but they love superstition, and they love stories. And when you play a dark-eyed stranger, don't cheat at cards.
