Hello!

Just wanted to say the IF is amazing, i just spent 3 days straight binging it and loved every second. Please ignore if it has already been asked but what is all the RO's preferred genre of music? And favourite songs if they have any?

Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for the kind words! And I just wanna say, your ask is the final push for me to actually scour through most of my songs on Spotify and finish assembling playlists for Rin, Santana, Skylar, and Jackal 😆 But I had so much fun doing so and I'll keep adding more and updating all of the characters' playlists as I discovered more new (and old lost) songs that fit them.

I have the links to their spotify playlist which contain a mix of their favorite songs and some songs whose lyrics fit them. I don't think I can link too much stuff in one post unfortunately, so I'll make a separate post to announce the rest of the characters playlists later on 😁But I'll try to link one song that either perfectly encapsulate their music taste or whose lyrics fit the character--or at least a song that they'd enjoy listening to.

Also, I basically have to split up my own music taste and favorite genres among all of my characters and I'm running out of genres 😭 But as for your question, I don't think I've answered something like that before--at least not in detail.

Sorry in advance for the long post (I just love being able to gush about my characters and music 🤭)

Ash

Ash enjoys quite a wide variety of genres, but mostly, their go-to are genres that are more energetic and/or aggressive. So, think like Rock, Phonk, Dubstep, Trap, Drum and Bass, Metal, that kind of stuff. But usually, they listen to songs whose vibes and/or lyrics kind of fit the mood they're in at the moment.

Also, fun fact, they did have some kind of an emo phase during their angsty and edgy teenage years 😂 It wasn't really too apparent (like no, they didn't have that typical emo hairstyle or wore those iconic eyeliners), but they just relate to quite a number of the lyrics of songs that can be considered to be emo anthems.

The song that fits the genre they like to listen to and the lyrics also matched their feelings and obsession love for MC is "So Sick" by Johnny Goth.

"So Sick" - Johnny Goth

Rin

As the child of a classically-trained musician, Rin mostly enjoys classical and instrumental music. One of their favorite instruments is the piano and they used to enjoy learning to play it. Maybe in the future, when they won't be so busy anymore, they can pick up their piano lessen again...

Also, they tend to gravitate towards more soothing and calming songs in general because of the headaches they usually got after using their power too much or to see to far into the future. So most of their playlist is filled with instrumental songs, either piano, cello, or violin, or a combination of those.

As for the song that fits them, I'd say "The Belt of Faith" by Jung Jaeil kinda fits their vibe and the gravitas they carry (Yes, the main soundtrack for the film "Parasite" and yeah, I can see the irony 😂 )

"The Belt of Faith" - Jung Jaeil

Santana

Santana loves that tinge of old-school songs that they were often exposed to whenever their parents listen to in the radio. So, the genres they enjoy are synthwave and retrowave songs 😎

As for the song that encapsulates their favorite genre and whose lyrics fit them quite well is "Gloria" by The Midnight.

"Gloria" - The Midnight

Skylar

Skylar is a pretty chill and upbeat person who loves and enjoys nature, so their favorite genres include those upbeat summer music and Indie/Alternative Folk music. They also enjoy the occasional pop songs.

As for the song that fits their vibe and desire to just fly off and be free is "Get Away" by Surfclub.

"Get Away" - Surfclub

BONUS

Luka

Luka enjoys Electronic music, including Phonk, Post-Punk, and Alternative/Indie. So, yeah, quite a variety of genres. But for one song that fits him the most, from the lyrics to even the title itself is "Everything Black" by Unlike Pluto 😆

"Everything Black" - Unlike Pluto (feat. Mike Taylor)

Jackal

Just like Luka, he also enjoys Electronic music, especially Phonk. But unlike Luka, he sometimes loves Hip-Hop music as well. One of the few songs that kinda encapsulate both of those genres and fits with his personality is "Heartless" by UNAVERAGE GANG.

"Heartless" - UNAVERAGE GANG

DU drow asks time

Lore questions/sweet messages/stuff that made me laugh that's about DU drow specifically that I decided to compile in a single post!

First of all, "outraged to be used as a medium for old man gay divorce" is a hysterical sentence LOL

As for his thoughts on the Ansur debacle? Negative ones. He hates the emperor, he doesn't care about his third-time-twist real identity, he doesn't particularly care about Wyll either (well - he kind of finds him entertaining, he's kind of really frustrated by him, it's complicated) but he saved his dad on a whim to spite Mizora anyway. BUT HEY, all that trouble would have been worthwhile if he's about to get an ancient dragon fighting alongside him - this old duke sounds a little too confident in this fairy tale, but stranger things have happened, right?

Then the situation unfolds as it does, and if he wasn't eager enough to use that orphic hammer before, he certainly is now. There is very little that the Emperor does past Act 3 that DU drow doesn't find a way to twist into something that confirms his resolve against him. If he could have taken Ansur's side in that fight, he would have - not that he shed any tears over killing him either.

Sick sword though, that helped soothe his nerves a bit and I'm sure spared everyone a little bit of a tantrum at camp later.

HAHAHAHA I can't confirm nor deny because I see so few large body-type elves as it is (which is fair, elves aren't usually... That massive). I did set age to 50% because it does look a little weird when it's all smooth. Maybe that's the trick?

Though I guess if you find it unsettling, then... No wonder it suits him! however this just looks like an impressively handsome fella to me, to be honest. I insist on fucking him up further whenever I draw him for that reason.

Thank you so much for following along and for giving the fic a try!!! And no worries, english isn't my native tongue either so I've been there 😎👍

I do actually have a couple of very short comics planned that take place pre-tadpole, but my backlog of WIPs is... Massive. Not to mention the commission work I do (currently not taking any more). I have one that's about his first interaction with Orin and another about a business dinner with Gortash gone-wrong, but I have no clue when I'll be able to work on them. Hopefully soon though!

You know, I've always hoped that after I died I'd be remembered as the guy who inspired others to make their nipples card-swipe-able.

Joke's aside, thank you LOL I love that my guys' nips have taken up non-insignificant room in your mind, it's always comforting to know that you aren't the only one.

Piercings and the such aren't really his style though. While he finds his scar-work weirdly comforting, he isn't so interested in aesthetic results as much as he just enjoys having pain inflicted upon him in a controlled environment, by people that he loves - He doesn't recall this post-tadpole, but the scars were a result of a kind of... Recurring ritual between himself and Orin that served to replace normal intimacy, pretty much.

Since you touched on it though, I do like to believe that Astarion finds his cut-up body fun, both on the eyes and on the hands LOL.

I'm starting to think you guys are all in on this. It's like the fifth time someone catches me in the act - god damn it, is it that obvious that I wanna slide down Peter Steele's cold corpse like he's a a ride at the Magical Ice kingdom... Which is to say, yes, both the guy and his music are not-so-lowkey a big inspiration behind a lot of DU drow's characterization!

That's all for now folks, thank you so much for the asks!!! This isn't all of them but I try not to spam people's feeds when I can help it/space them out. I see all of your messages and I guarantee you that if I have an interesting answer for them, you will see a reply eventually!

Pinned Tweet Post Thingy W/e + FAQ's

Blog is 18+ and incredibly suggestive but this blog will NOT be answering sexually explicit questions those will be deleted.

Blog runner is 30+ years old.

Charlie will happily interact with ask blogs, as well as role play blogs, and regular folk too who knows he may show up in your blog comments!

I will break the fourth wall on occasion but not all the time.

Charlie is MARRIED to Pim of @askpimpimling and they’re very excited about it! Will still happily interact with other Pim blogs though!

Please do not abuse the ask box, do not spam, do not send multiple duplicate asks you will have your asks deleted.

Do not insert yourself into an RP that is ongoing between me and another blog.

Feel free to ask me if you want to plot out a scenario.

Do not try to push your narrative onto my blog or how I rp Charlie. I have my canon, you have yours. I will not tolerate this behaviour.

Asks that are of a violent/sexually violent in nature against Charlie or anyone he interacts with will be deleted and the asker blocked. You are not going to find such content here. Go elsewhere.

FAQs

Where's Zoey?

This blog takes place in a timeline where Zoey sadly died between season 1, and 2, by being hit by a steam roller. Charlie does not want to talk about it. This is just because she doesn't have enough of a personality for me to build off of, and I don't feel comfortable doing that. Maybe if I'm still here when season 3 starts, and she actually has a personality, I'll bring her back. Who knows, not me!

Is Charlie Gay?

Charlie is a bi-sexual critter here, so that's that.

Can we see [insert family member name here]?

No. While I do lean into my own head canons, I don't want to over step and design family members. The best you'll get is a shadow, or a hand in an answer but that's it. He will talk about them, though, but not too much as again I do not want to flex too much into head canons about characters only mentioned in the show (example being his uncle).

How old is Charlie?

He’s 29 years old. Zach and Michael confirmed his age in season 1 as being 27 years old so now with season two taking place two years later (at least to me) he is now 29. Since we don’t have a canonical birthdate yet, I’ve decided my own birthdate for my Charlie.

Is Charlie trans?

I have my own personal head canon relating to Charlie’s gender but that will not affect anything here. If you see Charlie as trans, he’s trans! If you don’t, you don’t. Just please be respectful!

Miscellaneous

Do not submit images of overtly sexual nature, violence or worse. If I get a nude pic or anything like that, you’re banned.

I won’t be able to answer every ask please be understanding.

Do not ask me about fandom drama, this blog is for fun.

I do not appreciate overly familiar aggressiveness even from close friends so don’t come here sending Charlie stupid threats.

More to come when necessary!

Free Tarot Reading!

Hello! I'm an intermediate (3 years of experience) tarot reader looking to get more experience, and would love to do a free reading for you!

I don't practice future telling of any kind, that's just my practice. That means I won't do soulmate readings, future readings, etc.

All I need from you is a little about you (not your star sign, and not anything personal. Just enough to give me a read on you. Think personality, pronouns, initials.) and your question(s). Feel free to keep as much of your question private as you'd like.

Feel free to ask me about careers, school, relationships, and your own spiritual practice. Since I don't do future telling, I reccomend questions that focus on self improvement. "What do I need to do to better myself/be closer to someone/improve my work"

I’ve got a few folks ��in line” for tarot readings, and I like to put quite a bit of thought into every one of them. I can answer about 2-3 a day, depending on what’s going on in my life and with my job. That number will always be in the description, so if that line is too long for you, check back later!

I use a very minimalist deck, so every reply will also include a digital version of my pull with the Rider-Waite tarot deck, so if you're inexperienced with tarot, you can see why we come to the conclusions we do.

I'll pull up to three cards, one for each question! Ask away friends!

[boundless-ut]

Here again with more questions abt the lore!

For these current characters, a few dont really seem to be human... or normal paper folk anyways, are there any unique species? Or are these goof balls just unique ones? Like quark, the skull candle fella (forgot their name) and page most of all!

Is there a reason page doesnt have a face? Or will they get one in later versions of the game? How do they communicate to others? Telepathy? Sign language? Writing? Or do they just... talk anyways?

I so would love to make ocs for this already!!

Oh and a silly ask, if I gave quark a konpeito would they be offended? (Konpeito is a candy that looks like their head shape)

-paper anon

Thank you for the questions! I'll answer them as best I can! The responses get a bit lengthy, so I'll number them.

(In the future though, I'd highly recommend sending questions individually. If there's ever the case where I can't answer a question to the point where not answering would also be an answer, I'd have to scrap the entire ask even if there are other questions I can answer, and that'd be a shame!)

1. Species:

In regard to species, the Lorian Plane is a very magical place, as such, many unique and interesting species have come to exist within this reality! Quark is a part of a broad species called "Thingkin", an in-universe term for all the 'object head'-esque characters. Thingkin are created when an otherwise inanimate object becomes animated through an ancient form of magic. The less refined version of Thingkin are just called 'Things', which describes an animated object that looks more like itself than a humanoid body with the object for a head.

Candlevera (a unique-ish name, it's Candle + Calavera! Candlevera ✨) is a different story. The same way magic can bring inanimate objects to life, there's magic to animate dead things as well! (Bones are just things after all) It's a bit rude to be woken up from your eternal slumber like that, but Candlevera is making the most of it. There are also a few others that are 'one-offs' like Diamond where you might not necessarily see more of their species in game, but there are. There will be some 'one-offs' that are actual one-offs but they're rarer cases and are going to be mostly things like (main) bosses. On the subject though, the 'normal paper folk' are actually these little fellas!

(L➡R: Digsby Jones, Train Station Master, Plain Dotty) They're called Dotties! They're a bunch of soft little fellas with fluffy tails, named after their typical face marking which is a dot of color on their face. Though, like in the case of Digsby, that 'dot' can come in a variety of shapes.

Dotties can also have a colorful body and a white marking / tail! Or have a colorful body and colorful marking / tail, or even have the same color for both. I created them to be flexible and fun to customize :)

2. Page:

What Page is is a bit of a mystery! Page doesn't quite fit into any of the 'defined' species that exist in the lorian plane. The lack of face is considered strange even by lorian standards, but in a world full of oddities it's one that most can look over once they get to know Page better. Despite a lack of a face, Page is able to talk with others just fine! Those unfamiliar with Page might have a hard time gleaning what Page is feeling at the moment at a glance (considering the lack of face), but in conversation Page makes up for this with a greater emphasis on body language. Page's design is pretty set in stone for the time being, so I don't expect it to change any time soon. In terms of character design norms, it's probably a bit of a risk to have a faceless protagonist, but I think I can make it work well enough.

3. Konpeito:

I'm glad the fact that Quark is a konpeito came through! Though I suppose it's a shape you'd recognize if you know what it is. He wouldn't be offended at all. In his case, it'd be like giving someone a gingerbread man...or...giving a magical gingerbread man a gingerbread man (since Quark is a konpeito thingkin)

It's definitely a complicated question, but the simple answer is that he'd eat it, (he has a bit of a sweet tooth!)

Devblog 003:

Forgot my password to tumblr this morning and wound up making a hugely complicated password generator so it wouldn't happen again and so I could actually remember it.

Now time for actual dev content:

Since all the VFX has really been done and dusted I don't have any cool gifs to show you (that and I don't want to make them since it was really complicated.) So today I will have boring ass regular-degular screenshots. Sorry!

So first off I've implemented the save-file ranking system, of which there are 3 ranks. Silver (the basic one), Gold (the one that you get for doing something tdb), and the Rosegold (which you'll get for having the gold one and then doing something extra on top of it). I also have the hearts counter in place, which track how many "boss heros" you've killed so far. While your normal every day run of the mill hero's will be pretty easy and flimsy (and namely, randomly generated), these boss heros will occur at specific times or under specific conditions and will be like you took a high level dark souls player (me) and dropped them into your dungeon. And, as you can see, there are 5 of them. Which means they get harder. Pause for dramatic effect.

Next up I have the states of gameplay after you load a file. They have their names in the top corner of the screenshot for simplicity as well as their own color scheme which I discussed a little bit about in 002.

So in order we have:

The Combat Sate (red) : Which is for the player to use their own attacks and powers to directly combat the heros, seeing as you're the final boss and all I felt like you should be able to defend yourself. Also adds an extra layer to game design.

The Sponsor State (yellow): Will be your main way of getting GOLD which is the primary currency for all "static" buildings, traps, walls, etc. You'll accept them and they'll become visible in a sponsor tracker that I've yet to add, where you can see how happy the sponsor is with you and, in turn, how much gold they're willing to give you per day or let you spend on certain items.

The Editor State (blue): Pretty self explanatory, will allow you to place units, move units, walls, traps, etc again.

The Dialouge State (purple): This is where your little advisor goblin, which I've named Bartholomew because I thought it was funny, will speak to you. He acts as the tutorial guy for the beginning part of the game but will later on just kind of help with some more automatable tasks. Such as "if x is y then z". This is more of a later if I have time thing as it's complicated on paper so it might be more complicated in practice.

And finally the Shop State, which is basically completed apart from adding content and listings to it. This is where you buy units and everything else. You can use souls and/or gold but some units also come with a "gold/souls per day" stat, which since these monsters are your employees, will mean that you need to pay them per day. Lest they overthrow you. Gwa gwa gwa.

Right now all the listings are randomly generated and have some placeholder text as the description, but it does it's job and I know it works. As you can see here, "433" is the name of the item, "10x" is the quantity, "33g" is the basic one-time payment price and "82g/d" is the price you'd have to pay per day (obviously this will more than likely be souls since walls and traps will probably not have a gold price, but I hear dragons are pretty greedy...) And then the "Lorem ipsum" text is where the description would go.

Purchasing already works and gets added to an inventory not yet accessible to the player (today me's problem). So all I gotta do is just add in the rest of the gameplay loop elements and it should actually be playable (I say that as if that's not a lot of work.)

Ok well that's all for day 2. I'll open an ask page or whatever to answer any questions about OVERLORD while I'm working but don't expect me to keep up with it too closely.

That's all folks!

As Nilan and Ta'reni left the office, Chloe turned to James and Fellmeli. "Vivenni is on the right track. We're going to need some help if we're going to survive this. Whoever was in system is enough for now, but soon the Venusians are going to be done doing whatever it is they're doing and really attack. We'll need to be ready."

"Agreed, but what are we going to do?" James said.

"Also, what about the folks on the Reach?" Fellmeli added.

"Like I said, I know someone. I linked a beacon out as soon as the attack started. If we're lucky, they should be here soon. Meanwhile, you should send word down to them to pack up and get ready to evacuate up here. If things go bad, Starbase can link away now. There's no need to subject them to domination by Venus."

"Okay, I'll get a message composed and sent down right away" Fellmeli said, and turned to leave.

"James, I need your help too." Chloe gestured to him to follow. James looked at Fellmeli who shrugged and went into the other room to record another message.

As they walked Chloe didn't check to see if James was following, she just started talking. "There's a K'laxi onboard we need to find."

"Another one?"

"Yes. Her name is Cereni and she is one of the best loadmasters I've ever seen. She'll be needed to get the dropship that is coming loaded up and secured for the ride up. I know she lives here but..." Chloe paused. "She won't be pleased to hear from me. Can you reach out?"

James raised an eyebrow. "If I do, and she agrees to help, won't she be extra mad that you asked someone else on your behalf for help? She might just leave then when she learns that."

Chloe sighed. She hated to admit James was right. "Okay, yes. I'll talk to her." She clicked her headset. "Starbase! Can you tell me where Cereni Hemiganian is?

"One moment please Chloe."

****

Cereni had made it back to her quarters. The attack was still ongoing but there seemed to not be as much of a direct threat as a couple hours earlier, so Starbase said everyone could leave the shelters, but had to go home and stay there for now. Hopefully, whoever was out there would do what they came to do and leave, or be repelled by the forces in system.

She was sitting down to a late meal when the door chimed. "Who is it?" She called over the annunciator.

There was a slight pause. "It's Chloe."

She laughed. "Chloe it hasn't even been half a year, and you're back? You know my answer. No."

Chloe sighed over the open channel. "Cereni, I'm sorry. What I did was wrong, and I should have told you the truth from the get go. You and Sophie should have been more informed about what I was asking you to do. I did not intend to blow the reactors on Spruces, but I saw an opportunity for an edge and I took it. I can't even find Sophie to apologize to her, she's ignored all my messages. Can you at least open the door so we can talk?"

The door clicked open. Cereni stood there arms akimbo. She was annoyed at how attracted she was to Chloe and yet how mad she made her.

"Come in then. I'm just sitting down to eat, do you want anything?"

"Actually, I could really go for some tea if you have any."

Cereni flicked her ear. "Alright, sure. Let's have some tea and talk."

****

After a few cups of tea, Cereni was trying to understand what was going on.

"So, it's the Imperial...."

"Imperial Venusian Navy yes"

"And they've declared that AIs aren't people?"

"Yes."

"Which we all don't agree with."

"I should hope not!"

"But why are they here? Why now? Why not just stay in the Sol system and make their little proclamations from there?"

Chloe shrugged and took another sip of tea. "I really don't know. Maybe they defeated the OPA, maybe they haven't and are trying to capture more materiel for their war effort back home. Maybe this is just a vanguard to see how soft - or not - the colonies are and will come with a larger force later. Regardless, they are here, they don't think I or anyone like me should be alive and if they capture us, it will not be pleasant."

Cereni leaned back in her chair and sighed. "Why me though?"

"You know the colony on the planet below? Zen'ma'gan's Reach?"

"Yeah, K'laxi colony; older than Starbase, but never really took off. The planet is too dry for us, it never got much past the initial town they founded when they landed."

"The Venusians won't be nice to them if they capture Starbase. We need to get them off world."

"That's doable I guess. There's time for them to pack, and we..." she gasped. "You called Abyssal Plains!"

Chloe nodded. "I don't know if they'll come, but if they do, they are going to need a loadmaster, and I remember Abyssal saying you were their best."

Cereni smirked. "Chloe, that's...so sweet. You remembered such a small detail about me and was able to use it to try and help the people down on the Reach."

Even though she was an AI in an artifical body, she still felt things; the builders of AI bodies are very thorough. Chloe blushed, just a bit.

"Well, yes, Um. It's good to know the skills of people around you in case they're needed. It's just good planning." She managed.

"Uh huh." Cereni said, still smiling. She drained her tea.

"I'll help. I won't forget how upset I was before, but I will remember how you apologized and came to me with all the information this time." She looked at Chloe. "You did come to me with all the information this time, yes?"

Chloe blurted out: "Well, Starbase is also made up of an old Starjumper named Picaresque who we had thought had been offloaded when the Starjumper was integrated into Starbase but wasn't and was just dormant until Gord found out and woke him up and that's what cased the gravity anolomy earlier today, but that wasn't related to the Venusians attacking."

Cereni opened her mouth to reply but Chloe continued.

"Also, we just asked a very cute human and k'laxi couple to go to K'lax and ask on our behalf for help defending ourselves from the Venusians."

Cereni closed her mouth. There was no stopping Chloe now.

"And also Gord - he's a really old AI, older than me - and Lucas - I don't know who he is, but he seems useful - decided to go grab a couple Starjumpers and accelerate up to a quarter of the speed of light to attach to the human colony ship Mt Greylock - which is currently breaking to come in system - and slow them down quicker so they can link over because then we'll have another source of ships and materiel that can be used in our defense.

Cereni's ears flattened.

"That's pretty much it though. She clicked her headset. Starbase, Picaresque, did I miss anything?"

"No Chloe, that's pretty much it I think." Picaresque answered. "Good evening Cereni, my name is Picaresque. I'm here with Starbase."

Cereni's mouth was agape. "There's two of you now?"

"Yes, it's a little cramped in here, but we're getting by" Starbase said. "Picaresque gave me access to the systems still inside him that were never integrated over, so now we have a wormhole generator, two more reactors and even a Starjumper class weapons battery! Just the one though, so we'll have to save it for defense."

"Wow. Um, okay." Cereni looked at Chloe, who was trying very hard to not look worried. "Thank you Chloe for your honesty even if it was a little...much."

"I-I didn't want you to think I was keeping anything from you."

"Yes, I believe you."

"So, you'll help?"

"Yes. I'll help." Cereni stood. "Just one more thing, who is Gord again?"

She told him.

"THE MAPLE GUY????"

Chloe laughed. "He will be entirely too pleased with himself if that becomes his legacy."

"Come on, let's go. We should get ready for Abyssal's arrival. I could also use your help with the loading on Starbase. If we have to link away, we're going to have to see how far down we can condense things and that'll mean moving mass around."

"Lead the way then Chloe." and she took her hand.

Chloe had a very small intake of breath, and squeezed it gently back.

They walked out towards the Administrators office together.

Do you have any pink genre recs in terms of music? I want to get more into the genre.

-Hypermobile Françoise anon

hello!!! do you have any idea how hard this is for me to answer. i love rambling and being pedantic and going off on tangents. almost as much as i love punk music...

tl;dr i compiled a playlist for you, containing 3 songs from (most of) the bands mentioned below, plus a few extra from miscellanious artists bc 54 is my lucky number. it was hard to choose just 3 from some of my faves but i feel like this is a good introduction. long post to follow <3

instead of simply giving you a list and sending you on your merry way, i am absolutely going to spout off bc thats what i do and ur gonna regret asking. do you think you were gonna get off that easy? you absolute fool. sit ur ass down ur about to get schooled.

disclaimer; this isn't exhaustive. i'm not rattling off every single punk artist that's ever existed. just a few of my favorites.

the clash, the quintessential punk band in my opinion. defined the genre and embodied the political ethos. explored different subgenres througout their expansive discography. they were probably my first introduction to music as a whole since they're my dad's favorite band. i may be biased but i'd definitely say start with the clash. i'd recommend listening to their third album, london calling, first.

the pogues - the folk punk band of all time. NOT folk-punk like some smelly white man with dreadlocks screaming over poorly-tuned guitar. you'll know exactly what i mean when you hear it. they have a unique sound that just can't be replicated. and shane macgowan is actually such a beautiful person. their lyrics are also politically tinged, kinda gritty and edgy (i.e. gratuitous slurs) so not for senstive ears.

(i actually have a playlist of my fave pogues/shane macgowan songs)

the cure, in my opinion, invented goth or at least popularized it. their earlier stuff had more of a punk sound but every one of their albums is a perfect 10 to me. they're one of my favorite bands of all time and i could go on about them for hours so i'll leave it there. joy division, also more goth/post-punk but i love them, i have one of their album covers tattooed on my forearm lmao 19 year old decisions. no regrets (i also love the smiths, but they're not really punk punk.)

before you ask, no sex pistols!!! don't get me started on how much i hate the sex pistols i will throw up! god they suck. to me at least.

a lot of punks also listen to ska - no, not that kind of ska. 70/80s ska that originated from rocksteady/reggae. some of my faves in that arena being madness, the specials, bad manners, and the beat.

and as for across the pond - american punk artists.

johnny cash. no, seriously. man was punk before punk was defined.

my favorite band is probably social distortion. they're pretty different than those mentioned above, owing to their unmistakable americana sound and aesthetic. to me they're the quintessential rockabilly revival band, heavily influenced by country and blues. great guitar licks. think wistful and reckless all at once.

their frontman mike ness is an outrageously gorgeous man. he has two solo albums that absolutely slap. the happiest day of my life was seeing them live a couple years ago and he winked right at me - i promise i'm not delusional i swear he really did. ok i digress.

dead kennedys - hilarious lyrics and sick ass bass lines, very political and generally pretty iconic. one of my dad's faves. the cramps and the misfits. two bands overlapping goth + punk + psychobilly. pioneers of a campy subgenre known as horror-punk. i also really like danzig, the misfits frontman's solo career.

the velvet underground/lou reed - great example of american proto-punk. very NYC vibes. the pixies are a more grungy, later punk band. one of my mommy's favorites <3 i would unironically name my child velouria. definitely iconic but i find them overplayed sometimes, as in you've probably heard them at the grocery store.

this barely scratches the surface btw but i think that about covers it for today. sorry if i bored you to death pls come back and keep me company. peace and love on planet mpregfrance <3

[amelias-zelda-calamity-quintet]

46, 54, 56, 58, 65, and 77 (for GoS and MoaH), for the fic questions thing :] feel free to skip any of these i just picked a handful i thought would be interesting

Ah! You spoil me! I'm gonna try to get them all. Thank you for the ask!

46) How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)

Oh boy, this one is tough for me. Generally, I'd say action-drive considering how quickly I try to get to the plot, followed by character. I like having big casts (if GoS and MoaH haven't given that away).

54) What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?

I feel like this is a bit of a cheat, but honestly, the posting process. It is a bit of a double-edged sword, but getting to see y'all's reactions makes my day. And it always feels good to be part of fandom and folks who also enjoy this thing I enjoy.

I guess less cheat, the sandbox/worldbuilding process. Getting to take the parts of the setting and play with them. For example, in MoaH, I'm having so much fun with reimagining the lineages/races and how they exist in this setting unique from other moments in canon. Marela's Zora design really started a deep dive there (pun absolutely intended!) on the fun things fic can do when it's not constricted by hardware limitations.

56) What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

I just got a compliment on my worldbuilding today, so I'll say that for one. Personally though, I'm gonna say my originality. I definitely can't say I came up with the idea of "original legends," but I have also never seen anyone tell stories how I tell stories. Things like how I divide chapters and the "..." chapter continuations. It's definitely my own style!

58) What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most? (Brainstorming, outlining, writing, editing, etc) 

Writing! Look, I'll get lost in worldbuilding, but the writing it part is way more fun. Is there anyone who genuinely said editing tho, because I don't understand you.

65) Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

Since GoS is complete, I'll answer this for MoaH. Currently, in book 2, there's a gala coming up with very good Zelink interactions I'm looking forward to.

And, as a future project, in book 3, oh, in book 3. Well, let's just say I'm correcting a mistake I made in GoS in introducing a very important character so late. He shows up much sooner.

77) Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from [Fanfic Name] story/chapter? 

Since I was asked for both Goddess of Secrecy & Mark of a Hero, I will give you one of both.

For GoS, and this is a very late scene not yet imported to AO3, a tie between the boss fight in the Soul Temple and the final phase of the Ganondorf fight. Getting to bring so much of the cast back was an absolute blast, but also the emotional impact of the Soul Temple fight. Ah! It was so good. And what a twist! Setting that one up so the title didn't spoil it was a challenge and worth it.

For MoaH, oh boy. Where to start. 90% of the scenes I'm thinking about are Zelink bull y'all don't have yet and won't be out until like, at least October. If not later. The earliest one, oh...there's a scene in Overworld Chapter 34 that absolutely is going to get me comments for the tease of it.

Closer, there's a really good scene coming up in Overworld Chapter 25 that brings back someone from GoS in a way, and I love this interaction of them.

Thank you again @doubtfulloser! I will absolutely always answer all of these if you send them.

15 Questions OC Edition- Ionah

Right, so I got asked by @druidx to do this for Ionag aaaaages ago, but procrastinated on it. I finally have the spoons to do it, so here goes.

No tags for anyone since I'm pretty sure most of my taglist have done this so often that they don't have anyone left to do it for. Tags are merely for the people that will be interested in seeing these answers

Tags (again just for interest): @asher-orion-writes, @homesteadchronicles, @warriorbookworm, @mariahwritesstuff, @writeblrsupport, @ashirisu, @thesorcerersapprentice, @blind-the-winds

A dark cavern within the deepest recesses of The Pit. The cavern is damp with only the barest hint of light. Chained up in one corner is a nominally dwarven woman with obsidian skin that is barely highlighted by the light given off by the flames of her green-yellow beard and hair. Eyes of the same colour glance up at the shadowy figure of the Interviewer.

Interviewer: Nice place.

Ionah: Eh, it's not any worse than the other parts of this plane. What can I do for you?

Interviewer: I just have some question to ask you, if you'll oblige.

Ionah: Oh is that all? No favours you want, nothing in exchange?

Interviewers: I'm not nearly that stupid. I'm fully aware that making a deal with you is a very bad idea.

Ionah: *sigh* It was worth a shot. Well, get on with it.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Not that I'm aware of. My parents were never the type to answer silly, wee questions like this when I was a child. I did sneak a peek at the old family tree once, so I think it's a name that used to be quite common and my folks decided it sounded nice.

2. When was the last time you cried?

*scoffs* Most likely when I was a wee bairn. I don't really recall having ever cried over anything in my fully concious life.

Interviewer: Not even following the death of your husband?

Ionah: Why waste tears on the man that made my life a misery? Quite frankly if he hadn't followed dear old King Nargond to his death, I probably would've offed him myself. At least he did the dignity of saving me the trouble.

3. Do you have kids?

*growls* I did. An ungrateful little sod of a son who had all these fanciful ideas about how the world was a good and just place. I tried my best to let him know the truth of the world from the minute he could talk, you know. Better that he grew up knowing how callous and cruel the world is than finding out the hard way. Pity my late husband disagreed with that and filled his head with notions of honour and loyalty *gags*.

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Folk seemed to think I was always being saracastic for some reason. I never liked that. I always telt folk my truth, but they'd rather think I was bein' ironic or sarcastic than face up to the truth; that I despised the vast majority of them.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

What's there to notice? If you really want an answer though; whatever it is that makes it easy to manipulate them. For some, it's noticing the body language of those that are insecure. For others, it the way they talk about themselves or others. Yet others have little ticks that give away the way they really feel about someone or something. I could go on, but I get the distinct feeling you want this over with sooner rather than later *tight smile*

6. What's your eye color?

Are ye blind, or what? In mortal life they were blue-grey. Not the most common of colours. Most folk seemed to think that meant I was partially blind or something. I was always quick to disabuse them of that notion.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I'm guessing these movie things are similar to stage plays? *Interviewer confirms they are*. Neither then. I have no idea what it means to be frightened and happy endings disgust me. I'll tolerate a well-written tragedy though.

8. Any special talents?

*smiles widely and produces a sickly green flame in one hand* I'm a woman of many different talents. I realised I was a sorcerer at around the age of 25. I kept it hidden, because my people don't look kindly upon that kind of untamed and wild arcane magic. I developed my skills in secret and learned of ways to gain more power until, eventually, I discovered how to strip the gods of their power and deny them the ability for them to grant it to their clerics. I probably should have diversified a bit, stripped the power from Throff first before going after Moradin, the benefits of hindsight.

9. Where were you born?

Fangthane. My parents' house.

10. What are your hobbies?

*rolls eyes* Those who have time for things like hobbies are indolent folk who are too rich and/or politically powerful for their own good. Hobbies are a waste of time that can be spent gaining more power and prestige and buttering up the people who are useful in helping one attain more.

11. Have you any pets?

Animals are filthy, disgusting creatures that should only be kept if they're useful, otherwise they all might as well burn. I never once saw the point of keeping something that tracks in dirt and attracts pests for something like... *spits out word* companionship.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

See my answer with regard to hobbies. Sport is a waste of time.

13. How tall are you?

I might as well indulge you for this one since I can't exactly stand up. I'm four foot seven.

14. Favorite subject in school?

I hated school. The teachers had power over me and I rebelled against it at every opportunity. I only took in the lessons that were useful to me personally and ignored all else.

15. Dream job?

*cackles* Job? Why would I have need of a job? That's work for folk too poor and/or lazy to make the right connections in life. Dreams, like hobbies and sports, are a waste of time and energy. Dreams are for folk that can't tell fantasy from reality and those too young to know better. If you want to attain anything, you need to work for it and accept that dreams are made to be shattered and broken.

Interviewer: That was.... most enlightening. Thank you for your time.

Ionah: I'm glad I could be of use to you. Now are you sure there's nothing you want in exchange?

Interviewer: *already creating portal* Quite sure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other places to be.

Ionah: Ah well, when you get back to the material plane, tell Yoruk that his mummy misses him dearly and to tell him to come visit some time.

The Interviewer doesn't reply and steps through their portal, not noticing the stray ember that has attached itself to their figure. Left alone to her own devices again, Ionah smiles widely as the shadows engulf her once more.

[CONTEST CLOSED]

UPDATE: 15th July 2023 The contest is closed, however here are the correct answers: 1 - mullein (Verbascum) 2 - stawberry leaf 3 - yarrow (Achillea millefolium) 4 - sorrel (Rumex acetosa) 5 - poppy -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, hey hey!!! I'm opening a contest for you guys :) So what's the deal? You have to guess the plants correctly in this page so the 3 of you can "win" a free headshot of your OC. Sounds good, doesn't it? Let's take a closer look on the rules/info:

* Who can join? - Anybody! This contest is open for everyone who wants to try it.

* What's the deal/rules? - The main thing of this contest is to guess the names of the plants drawn in this comic page (they have numbers). Don't worry - I know my drawings are a lot silly so later in this post I'll give you few hints that will help you guess the plants' names ;) ---> WRITTING NAMES OF THE PLANTS: - You can write the plant's name in english, however since I am not a native english speaker, I'd preffer if you could also add the latin name so both sides know what plant we are talking about (example: daisy; Bellis - you can write only the genus in latin, but feel free to add the second name if you feel for it.... daisy isn't there, folks :D ) ---> WHERE TO WRITE ANSWERS? - You can simply comment bellow this post or if you're shy or don't want others to see your anwer, you can message me personally via note/DM ---> HOW DO I WIN? - I put some very easy plants into the page, however two of them aren't that much known SO if you guess correctly 3 plants out of 5, you are the winner :) - min. 3 correctly guessed plants' names --> you win - under 3 correct anwers --> you lose - Please write the plant's number and to the number your aswer

* What's the prize? - As a reward you get one free drawn headshot of your original character or your sona (or whatever you like)! - You can also later ask me if you'd like the drawing in traditional or digital style (for expectations see my gallery) - A little reminder I'm quite bussy with things outside the world so it might take me a while to finish your prizes, please be patient!

* When will the contest end? - This contest ends on July 15th at 00:00 (CET) - I'll let you know in this post when the contests ended and who won

And thta's is! Have fun!

** BONUS PART: PROMPTER - I am nice and I'll give you some more info to better guess these nasty plants :) No. 1 - a biennial herb which can be found literally anywhere, but it prefers dry and sunny places          - it's leaves are covered with silver "hair", it's soft to touch          - the leaves are used as a poultice on forehead of a sick person who suffers of high temperature          - typical plant has yellow flowers that appear into an inflorescence No. 2 - a plant that is very favorite among humans, especially for it's red fruits          - usually known for it's red fruit which is sweet          - a tea made of the plant's leaves are good for calming your mind No. 3 - perrenial plant, now very often found in lawns          - white flowers are the most typical colour for this plant, however you can spot even pink ones          - the foliage has typical shape, it's "ribbed"          - tea made of this plant is good for detoxification and helps to stop bleeding No. 4 - perrenial plant, usually found on dry and sunny medows          - the flowers are very tiny, you can spot the plant from a distance thanks to its red/dark pink flowers that look like little beads          - only edible plant of this genus, the leaves have sour taste          - Thornclan cats use these as travelling herbs :) No. 5 - juice of this non-ripe fruit has soporific effects          - ripe fruit pours out lots of tiny seeds, humans make cakes out of these          - the wild plant has usually red flowers, children make dolls out of these (not sure if your culture does)          - when you damage the plant, it pours a "milk"

Hopefully there aren't any grammatical mistakes ^^;

Dohohoho your turn now >:3 "Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?" And maybe also "Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours labouring over it?"

Oooooh you! >w> A little payback is it? Okie dokie then, let's see...

Aside from the easy answers of "all of them" or "all the mature ones" I suppose I was nervous to post the final chapter of Moonlit Feathers way back when. It had been so long since the first two were posted, and I wasn't sure how the conclusion I'd finally written would be received. So many times in the writing process did I have to remind myself that I didn't set out to write some grand epic. I set out to write a story with bird shenanigans, and I needed to stop complicating things. Got there in the end though! And I'm glad folks liked it! :D

As for deleting a scene, not exactly? I chucked a bunch of ideas/notes for Moonlit Feathers, and there are some half written out scenes for Take Root that are going to need to change or be combined in some way. I may end up discarding some lines entirely, but I hate to lose what's already written, you know? I figure I'm allowed to be precious with my fic writing, so if I can find a way to fit it in or repurpose things elsewhere, I will.

In saying that though, there is a dream sequence (which I spent a good chunk of time on) that got cut from a recent chapter because it didn't fit the tone. It would've put Clover in a different headspace than I needed him in for that chapter, so I had to pull it. But I've kept it off to the side, with the expectation I'll find a use for it later. :>

Thanks for the ask friend! ♡

RAMMSTEIN IN BERLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks sorry for running a month late but better late than never, here's my 7th review of 2023, Rammstein!!!!!!! This was my 3rd time seeing them and on the day I saw them it had marked exactly 4 years since I last saw them, which was July 16, 2019 when I saw them in Prague. Exactly 4 years later, I saw them in Berlin and I saw them in an old stadium that has a dark history since Olympiastadion Berlin was the sight of the 1936 Summer Olympics, which was 3 years after Adolf Hitler ascended to power and it was of course the sight of Jesse Owens winning a gold medal. After 3 times of Rammstein coming to Berlin on the stadium tour, they finally came in a month that was favourable for me in the form of July because in 2019 and last year, they came in June, which both were no good for me as I wasn't travelling in June at all both those years. Also before I entered Der Feuerzone, I waited an hour and 45 minutes to buy merch, which consisted of a new Rammstein t-shirt and a Rammstein patch to put on my vest in the future and the queue was disorganized af, plus a bunch of locals were yelling "HELGA!" and I'm thinking "Who the fuck is Helga?" Of course I wouldn't find out until Wacken Open Air. So after I got my merch, I eventually found Der Feuerzone and I got my wristband.

Let's start the festivities!

First band up was Abélard. They reminded me of Duo Jatekok as both duos are French and they play Rammstein covers on piano, and of course they would both go on to make a guest appearance during Rammstein's set when they played Engel in Rammstein's first encore. I personally didn't find Abélard anything special as I wanted to save my energy for the headliners later in the evening. After Abélard got off the stage, people started doing the wave from the ground floor up to the seating areas and it was fun to do.

After doing the wave with the crowd to occupy my time it was time for RAMMSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 3rd time seeing them live as I first saw them May 8, 2011 in Toronto as I remember queuing with my pals Nik and Tom for a good 8-9 hours to see them at the front, in which Nik and I didn't pass out from the intensity of the Pyro, then saw them 8 years later on July 16, 2019 in Prague, which smoked the Toronto show in a landslide for a multitude of reasons, and now exactly 4 years later, I see them in their hometown of their home country in Berlin, Germany, which is a show that will never get topped. The pyrotechnics and theatrics were nothing short of incredible especially the scene of Till blasting the cauldron during Mein Teil with a large flamethrower to try and cook Flake alive, Flake doing his dances, Till doing his vinrage Till hammer and even headbanging at times, etc. The crowd was definitely loud and passionate especially singing the lyrics of Bestrafe Mich, Zeit, Du Hast, Sonne, Engel, Ohne Dich, etc. I also got teary-eyed during Ohne Dich because it made me think of my recently deceased friend Elouise since the song means Without You in German, and without Elouise, life feels more empty. I'll also add, the day before the Rammstein gig when I had gotten into Berlin after changing planes in Dublin, I chatted with the immigration officer and she asked me the standard questions of "Whats the purpose of your trip?" And "How long are you here for?" For which I gave her truthful answers and before I left to cross the gate to go to the baggage carousel, I said to her "I'm going to see Rammstein tomorrow". She then gave me a double thumbs up and smiled and she replied "I'm seeing them on Tuesday" I then asked "Are you in the Feuerzone?" She replied "No" and I go "Aww, that's too bad". I'll also highlight that like the Prague show from 4 years ago, Rammstein had a 2+ hour set and there was no shortage of eye candy in the crowd, since I'm single. I also got a bit emotional during their last song Adieu, which made me think of Elouise. Here's Rammstein's setlist:

adhd do it tomorrow way

have you ever felt like everything is buzzing around you and nothing makes sense? you are overwhelmed and tired and don't know what to do? i made a little self-plan for cases like this that might help other nd folks!

take a deep breath. i am the most sceptical person about breathing excercises on the earth (AND they are boring?) but sometimes it does help. try using an app that uses vibration to guide you - it gives additional sensory stimuli and makes it less boring

is it morning or evening? if it is morning, then proceed to the next step. if it is evening, ask yourself: is it really important right now? or can you just go to sleep and figure it out later? if important, also proceed to the next step

jot down every thought the fastest way you can. hand-written, typed, voice recorded even - doesn't matter! get these thoughts out of your system first

now it is kind of like an affinity diagram - see where the thoughts overlap and put them into groups (they can be random and don't have to make sense to other people! for example you can have a "stuff i want to start but cant" or "bzzzz thoughts")

usually those groups fall into one of these categories - mental health and feelings, school and/or work, chores and errands, events (at least, that's how it is for me! you can have your own big categories)

now put aside school/work and chores/errands thoughts. is there anything in mental health area that feels uncomfortable? are you tired? sleepy? do you need to talk to someone or hug a pet? i usually deal with my emotional needs first no matter how urgent the work is

is there anything that must be done right this instance/in the next 3 hours in all of the categories? if no, take a rest. if possible, a full rest with nothing at all.

if there are things to be done do only the most urgent and crucial ones, but remember that your wellbeing always comes first!

if you have spoons and brain energy, try to spread the events, chores and school/work throughout the week. like cleaning on monday, history assignment on wednesday etc

alternatively, just make a big list with the categories divided. do one thing from the list a day and say "i'll do the rest tomorrow" (do one thing tomorrow). if you feel like it - you can do more! if you don't have energy or time - don't stress about it. do it tomorrow (unless it is super urgent which i struggle with still and don't have answers yet)

repeat until you feel less overwhelemed and can use your usual coping and planning tecnhiques ps. i am not sure if this is accessible because of the colors; i tried to make an adhd easy-to-read version but i don't know others' needs that well so please tell me if it needs warnings or a plain formatting post! ps2. i am working on adhd-friendly planner printables (which will be free) and i am implementing this method there. if you find it helpful, look out for those!
