#i won't be dropping lore cause there's just so much that i don't know where to start

[gaylightisminetocommand]

Soooo in 2022 I was doing all these colour palette drawings with my OCs and I didn't draw them as much last year and I miss them so much so I decided to pick up the colour palette drawings again this year cause they're simple but really fun :D

Anyway here's my boy he means more to me than you could ever know.

NEARLY FORGOT I used the palette Unholy Flame (very fitting for this guy >:3) from @color-palettes! Gonna be using a lot more of them in the future, they're really good ✨

[cskv11]

What lore predictions do you have for the b.o.b?

I really hope we find out wtf is going on between him and the Axolotl tbh

I really hope this ages well 😭

When it comes to his personal lore (as in origin story) I believe non of it will be true; he'll dramatize every detail he's physically able to, and he won't even try masking it. We'll be able to see his lies, but the truth will come out to be real clear when we'll read between lines (as in "liberated my dimension" means " Arson is my middle name and everyone that once knew me can confirm that I love burning people). The codes and ciphers Bill will leave hanging around the pages will contain heavier lore drops, but really decontextualized, and will be mostly gossip.

He will definitely give us some juicy lore about all these "higher" beings (?) that the Gravity Falls cast has encountered throughout the series, like Time Baby and Jheselbraum. Maybe he'll introduce us to someone new characters! But the thing about unreliable narrators is that you never know where the lies end and where the truth starts, so it'll mostly be a competition on who he trash-talks about more hahaha.

Of course, OBVIOUSLY, the Axolotl will be there. Not only because of his apparent connection with Bill, but the way Alex has portrayed them both in the promos he's posted on Instagram, makes me believe there's absolutely some deep things going on between those two. Personally, I feel like he sees the Axolotl as some kind of hypocrite and coward. He's envious the Axolotl is respected while Bill is plainly feared and "betrayed" constantly. There will be a bunch of pages dedicated to this guy - half of them just insulting him, the other half explaining how they met (while insulting him, of course). He'll make sure to let us know he's infinitely better than the Axolotl, in all aspects possible.

The Henchmaniacs! They will be there! Tho, I don't know if this book is supposed to be set before or after the events of Gravity Falls. Depending on what part of the timeline the book covers, there'll be more or fewer detriments directed at them. He'll explain the nobodies they were before joining him and how they came to him, dragging on the ground, searching for divine enlightment and loyal servitude. And he, as benevolent as he is, gave them the blessing of being his henchmen. If the book is located after the events of Gravity Falls, this will be flooded with irony (or maybe he's totally oblivious and doesn't actually care they made him a statue saying he's the worst).

Weird anatomical and physiological facts about himself! He knows what we crave, and he'll give it to us. We'll regret ever thinking of wanting to know how his eye-mouth-tongue operates! This will be extensively graphical, and there will be illustrations and schematics of it! I hope!

He'll explain to us what the hell he meant when he said he eats his own exoskeleton! (WE'LL KNOW WHAT'S THERE BEHIND HIS EYE???? IS HE SOME KIND OF MR KRABS BLOB OF FAT AND MEAT UNDERNEATH HIS very jazzy triangle OUTFIT?)

He'll take credit for an innumerable quantity of cults and important historical events he claims to have influenced, participated in, or fully provoked! Ford gave us the info he had about Bill's global influence, and Bill's going to expand on it and give us his side of the story! (Maybe he'll explain more stories like the one document Ford had that talked about "Billius Cipherus"?)

He'll tell us how he got his powers cause he ain't convincing anybody saying he just popped into the Universe like that. Sweet lore. He'll give us clues he had a sibling (<- I hope). He'll justify killing his family and explain the atrocities they commited against him. Maybe there really is some deep trauma buried in there? We gonna see tear marks when (if) he talks bout his family? Man, I WISH

Enchants, curses, summonings and all that stuff. They will be there.

And I'm gonna end this here cause I already have written too much and probably won't be able to correct any grammar mistakes I've made cause I'm ecstatic:

FORD...

You know he'll be there, you know half of the book will be about this poor babygirl, and he's gonna act tough, pretending he doesn't care bout nuthin but YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE DEEP IMPLICATIONS THAT THESE TWO WERE MORE THAN "STUDENT" AND "MENTOR". HE WILL TRY TO HIDE IT BUT WE KNOWWW WHAT THESE TWO LOOSERS WERE, WE KNOWWW THEIR DIRTY LITTLE SECRETT and I'm gonna be drooling about it –I won't sleep I won't eat, I won't drink, my brain will be picturing these two lil mfs wishing each other a good night ASHDHHSHS

Anyway, this is it for now, I apologize for any grammar mistakes that could cause potential brain damage! Thanks for the ask!

I know it’s generally only a Unified Territories thing, but does anyone else in the Restoration celebrate Thanksgiving.”?

“We don't celebrate thanksgiving over here but we do have our own version called Stump Day,” Lanolin explained.

“And lore-masters Knuckles and Lanolin are here to explain it all to you!” Knuckles shouted, scaring the hell out of Lanolin.

“GAAH! Where did you come from?!” She shouted.

“The Master Emerald but we're not here to talk about that we're here to talk about Stump Day,” he said very matter of factly. “I'll start explaining the origins of it.”

“I clearly don't have a say in this so I'll just play along,” Lanolin chuckled tiredly.

Knuckles began, “The story is so old that there's a bunch of different versions of it and no one can really agree what's the true one so we'll just do our best to explain it all to you. A long time ago there was a village that was centered around a tremendous tree stump. It was so massive it could be used not only as a giant banquet table but also a stage. How the tree was felled in the first place is a whole separate myth that we won't be getting into. Anyway, the people of this village always near end of fall would have a great feast from the harvest atop the stump. but one day when they were all preparing the goods there was a series of catastrophes they each and every one of them suffered ruining the food they had prepared. Like one guy tripped and dropped his entire cart of tomatoes down a cliff, one guy was foiled by a bunch of ravenous flickeys that ate all his corn and there was a guy who got struck by lightning so he couldn't finish his baking. Everyone has their own versions of what each person in this village went through. Some people only list a few, some people can recount all of them but no one version is the same for every person. Some say all this misfortune was caused by nefarious spirits. Maybe they offended some deity. Or maybe it was just pure terrible coincidental bad luck. Again, it depends on who's telling the story. As they all sat down glum about their terrible luck they still brought what they could to the table unleavened bread, a handful of tomatoes, some dried fruit, again depending on who's telling the story,” Knuckles pointed at his fellow lore-master.

Now Lanolin took over with a smile, “The next part though is the part everyone can agree on. For a moment there was silence but then all at once they all started laughing. The pure terrible luck was so terrible that it circled back to being hilarious. They laughed and laughed and laughed and they began eating and celebrating. Finding joy in their misfortune but also the fortune they have to know each other. They sang and ate and with so little food on the stump they were able to dance atop it. But then something miraculous happened and you guessed it this next part depends on who you ask because there are a bunch of different versions of it. One story goes that some spirit or deity saw their joy and their misfortune and decided to give them a brand new feast. Some stories say it's Light Gaia, some say Arcadia, some say it was some spirit with too many eyes and too many hands called Wandagood which I thought for sure was just the Wandering God but then there's an old Mazuri story about something called Wandagood who sounds very different so somebody either traveled there or there was there just a loss of translation or was it the name got garbled over time and we'll never know for sure because two hundred some years ago some marauding assholes burned down half the country erasing all the records THAT WOULD'VE EXPLAINED IT!”

Knuckles looked on in concern as the sheep caught her breath, “You good?”

She sighed, “Yeah I'm fine, lemme continue. A much less supernatural rendition of the story is that a caravan of wealthy merchants were traveling by and heard the commotion. They came over and asked them why they were celebrating over so little. The villagers told them the whole story and the merchants were so moved that they sold their stocked goods to them at extremely cheap prices and decided to help make this small no name village into a great city. Depending on who you ask this either became Central City, Emerald City, Sunset City or Seaside City. Honestly every major city lays claim to the story and sometimes take it way too seriously. I somehow doubt this story more than a supernatural ones because if there's one thing I know about rich people is that they suddenly don't get a chance of heart and make their new home in the middle of nowhere. But what we know for sure is that the story traveled far and wide across mobian lands and here we are. In short, Stump Day is where we celebrate the positive attitude of making the best of a bad situation and give thanks for what we have.”

“Oh but where is it celebrated Lore-Master Lanolin,” Knuckles asked with a wink.

Smiling at his antics, she continued, “It's less popular in cities but everywhere else everyone celebrates when it comes around. Some people even have their own stump they keep.”

This was something Knuckles didn't know, “They do?”

“Yeah but it's more ceremonial. I mean there's no way everyone can keep a giant stump like they do in the story. Some people take the stump very seriously. My uncle told me a story about how one guy burnt someone else's stump and the ground swallowed them whole right then and there. He said the gods were angry at what he did so he was punished. only much later in life did I learn that the area where it happened was an area known for sinkholes so I'm not sure if I was the gods or not,” she said.

Knuckles rubbed his chin, “Weird, I heard a similar story only instead of sinking through the ground, the guy just spontaneously combusted right then and there. But yeah it's not something you wanna, you know, stress test.”

She nodded with a grimace, “For sure, especially the kind of world we live in.”

“What does your family do?” he asked.

With a far away nostalgic look, Lanolin went down memory lane, “Every year there was some sort of fight in my family about whether to serve meat or not. Everyone on my dad’s side of the family didn't want to serve meat as they believed it was offensive, sacrilegious even, to Arcadia. In their version of the story, Arcadia made a massive bounty of fruits, vegetables and mushrooms appear on the stump after seeing their joy. But my mom and only my mom thought that was silly and we should use any kind of bounty the land gives us. If that seems uneven it really wasn't it, my mom had the stubbornness of twenty people. Some years my mom would come out on top and then some years my dad's side of the family would come out on top. It really depended on who got sick of the fighting sooner,” she finished with a smile.

Knuckles held up his hands in surprise, “Woah back up I didn't know people still worshiped Arcadia?”

She nodded, “Oh yeah sure it's more of a rural thing but we even still celebrate the Spring festival. Hell, the medal you win for winning the flower contest has her face on it which again some people find sacrilegious.”

“Huh neat……so what are your plans for Stump Day? Same as usual?” Knuckles asked, unaware of the minefield he just walked into.

Suddenly looking very uncomfortable, Lanolin looked away before speaking, “Uh no not really there has been some changes in my family and the only person I can really talk to is my uncle.”

Knuckles, despite his reputation of being thick headed, was able to read through the lines and sympathy swelled within him, “You know if you want, you and everyone else can come over to my island on Stump Day. I do have a giant stump we can use. You can even bring your uncle if you want.”

Lanolin couldn't be more moved by his offer, “I……I would like that very much. Thank you Knuckles.”

He smiled and put a comforting hand on her shoulder, “It's no problem, after all the day is all about making the best of a bad situation.”

[tallsc]

Last minute thoughts on candidates, in a general order of how much I want to vote for each. I'm not gonna go into negativity or drama, I'm not gonna be hating on any candidate, just giving my sense of each of them.

Note: I primarily watch Phil, Jaiden, Bad, and Slime, and a bit of Fit and Baghera, so that perspective is where my thoughts are coming from. ALSO this is all about the characters, not the creators.

Starting with an honorable mention of Baghera, would've been my first choice but I respect her choice to drop out, fan hostility sucks. Baghera's platform was a council of islanders to make combined decisions and not put focus on just one person, which I like, cause I don't want a single person to have that much connection to the Federation.

Second, Gegg: Gegg's platform is to overthrow the system and band together to take down the Federation, letting the people choose for themselves. Yes, my vote is unironically going for Gegg now, I want a focused effort on the Federation, I never really trusted this election bit, I like the idea of each islander making their own choices, and honestly I'm just very interested in seeing where Charlie's going with all this Gegg stuff.

Forever: While I would rather have a council or some sort of separation of power, if we're having a singular president, Forever seems to be the best here. From what I gather from him and Cell (btw I'm sorta glad it's Forever running not Cellbit, Cellbit's fine but who knows what the Federation did to him) it seems like they have a pretty thought-out plan and I do believe, despite them being opposed to the full council, that they'll take other people's ideas into account.

Etoiles: Not as strong of a president as Forever, but I don't think he'd be a bad one, and security is always good, especially considering the danger ever-present toward the eggs. I just think that's a very narrow focus, and outside of protection there's not much information on any other plans.

Bad: Honestly, Bad's old platform was just under Baghera on my list. I like the idea of a council, and I want the eggs to have a say, but I'm really nervous about putting that much pressure and attention on them and that's lowered my vote substantially. There have been attacks on candidates, so if the eggs take power, won't there just be more attacks on the eggs? Plus they are just kids, I don't think Tallulah would like that much pressure and I think Richarlyson and probably others would just be chaotic.

Felps: Imma be honest I have no clue what Felps's plan is but he seems chill so he's next on my list

Mike: I also have very little understanding on Mike's platform but I heard something about him wanting to be a communist dictator I think so that puts him a little below Felps

Foolish: I mean I don't think he even really wants to win, he's just here for the advertisement, memes, and drama, please someone assassinate this man not because I don't like him but because he wants to be dramatically murdered. I love that he's running but I do not think he should ever be elected XD

ElQuackity: Also just here for the drama but in a more lore way, do not let the Federation plant win pls, also someone un-popsicle Quackity

Also props to Fit and Jaiden for helping run the debates, they were chaotic so good on them for trying to keep things on track, and to the audience please respect all creators or I will block you and so will the rest of Tumblr ^-^

HELLO TF2 COMMUNITY :D

Do you like fanmade TF2 AUs? Do you like mysteries? Do you like deep DEEP lore? Are you good at solving riddles?

If your answer is yes to all of those, then yay!! And buckle up.

We're going to play a little game. When you click on the link right above the :readmore: all the way down there, you will find yourself at a blank webpage that looks a bit like this:

This webpage will ask you for a specific password for you to enter. If you get the password correct, you will be granted access to the [TOP SECRET]-CLASSIFIED MANN FILES. If you get the password wrong, you will not be granted access to the files.

The password is a four digit number. I will be giving you a riddle to help you find out what this password could be. You might need to use a bit of google for this one:

A little girl with the last name Won goes to an arcade in Korea.

At the arcade, she wins a pinball game.

That was yesterday.

But the pinball machine was cheap, old and rusty.

So all she got was a single coin from it. It was the lowest currency one could get in Korea.

What did the little girl win yesterday?

I know this looks hard, but I promise, you do not have to be Korean to know the answer to this. All you need to know is that, currency in Korea is won (원). I can't give you more information since it may spoil the game, but if you are not sure about anything, you can easily search it up and it'll pop up first thing

If you really find yourself struggling with the answer, I suggest you try reading the riddle out loud ;)

You will be given 24 hours to find the password and get it correct before I reveal the answer for everyone. The timer starts the moment this post is published onto my blog.

There are only 3 rules you should know:

1. If you find the password before everyone else, please don't make it public!! Don't post about it, or tell everyone else. You can tell your friend if they ask for it, sure, but don't ruin the fun for those who still want to try and solve the password!

2. You can not ask for more clues, sorry, but that tiny riddle was the most thinking my brain could take for the week, and I can't make more mysterious clues and riddle :(

3. If the 24 hour timer goes off and the majority of you still haven't managed to find the password, don’t worry, you can always ask for more time. If I get more than 5 non-anon asks in my inbox asking for more time, I will extend the timer.

Anyways, best of lucks finding the password, and have fun :)

[TOP SECRET] CLASSIFIED MANN FILES- PROJECT DOPPELGANGER

(EDIT: hello all! So it seems that the links on this post are causing some problems for a lot of you guys, and the whole password part seems to work just fine but for some reason if won't show the files properly once you guessed it. So if you managed to get the password right but the webpage you were redirected to only shows you blank pages, please pop me a quick message through either inbox or DM so I can get you set right up with a shared google doc file which actually works. Thank you so much for your patience and so sorry for the inconvenience and this technical error kind of ruining the whole vibe :'(

P.S. if you can, the link works a bunch times better when on PC!)

Now that all that jazz is out of the way, here are all of my rambles!

A brief summary for those who are new:

This post is part of a big lore-drop for an AU of mine called Job Switcheroo Mercs, which is basically an AU where all the TF2 mercs have their jobs and classes switched around. If you want to learn more about the AU, you can go check out my #job switcheroo tag on my blog. You might need it for the context.

For those who already know the basic gist of the AU, but just forgot the what the heck this AU is even about, here's a little reminder.

Of course, big hugs and kisses to all my lovely Job Switcheroo AU fans out there. We were a pretty niche group but you guys gave me so much love and support all throughout it and I appreciate it so so so much. THANK YOU <3

Recreated Banban Au

(This is copy and pasted from my other account, i just wanted my Recreated Au all together in one thing, lol) This is a recreation of the whole janked up idea that is BanBan. Now I don't support the Euphoric brothers, and I myself think the game is a pile of flaming shit, but I want to revamp the characters and give them substance. Also autism won't let me be and so I'm making a whole Au/game idea for this piece of flaming dogshit game. Thank you for reading this info dump of a post. Also, this will be updated/ edited as I come up with more ideas.

Map Sections

The map is made differently from the normal game ( a big fucking improvement) It has different rooms that lead to different areas with characters that match the rooms theme. The rooms are:

Sign in (front room, first room seen when entering) down a hall with bathrooms on each side leads the player into the-

Grand Hall (a large room showcasing the different sections of the facility) were most of the rooms are shut off except the-

Forest Friends (room where Opila/Tartar and the babies, BonBon, Toadster, and Jumbo josh live. They have an outside access but its closed off for 'repairs'.

The characters that are seen in the first 'chapter are as follows:

Banban.

Banban will be seen in the first 'chapter' but not 'seen' but heard for most of it. He'll be a voice explaining how things happen. Voice of the tutorial and all. He will drop some subtle lore. But before he can explain what happened he is seen being attacked by Opila bird before the player is meant to go into the Forest Friends section. He is seen being dragged by Tartar into another room while Opila waits for the player to approach and collect the eggs around the indoor playground.

Opila and Tartar Bird

(+ babies, but they don't really do much, just watch you collect their brethren)

While only Opila is seem attacking someone, Tartar Bird is still considered an enemy in the first chapter as he's seen helping Opila attack Banban and hide him.

Aside from only seeing Tartar, he's seen with a few scars (other than the surgical scars) telling he's capable of attacking and fighting as well.

Opila and Tartar seemingly calm down after Banban is 'disposed of' and only silently watch the player till all the eggs are collected and they disappear. There is a screw driver that the birds leave behind (while the two birds disappear, so do the eggs the player as collected and put into a nest, the eggs are replaced with a screwdriver and flash light)

The player

okay, so, why the hell are you here? I'll tell, don't worry. it cause you wanted to explore the old shut down MASSIVE daycare (Like mega pizzaplex size because that makes the BIG BUCKS) and find some cool shit to bring home. (also cause people disappeared and your curious ass wanted to know why)

So you sneak into the building through some old boarded up glass doors (looks like some other people did some exploring before you. Huh) It looks decades old, but it only shut down a few years ago. The Entrance looks like people would camp out there, a bunch of trash strewn about and the walls had layers of graffiti on them. Walking through the short hallway, bathrooms on each side of you, you could see only the main entrance was really explored because the doors inside the actual building had metal covers (Someone didn't want anyone getting in apparently{or out}) How are you supposed to explore more??

As you start searching for a way deeper inside, you notice a number pad on the wall near the door (First puzzle)

[daughter-of-sapph0]

Tell us more about the maids please!

okay so I already gave away a bit of lore in this post, but I'll drop some more lore

Avery and Iris and two OCs from a story I'm writing called Fool's Mate. just be warned, it is porn. like really heavy fucked up porn, and I absolutely do not recommend it to everyone. dead dove and all that. but I'll try and censor most of the nsfw stuff and keep it at least pg-13 in my lore dump

also, major major spoilers for Fool's Mate below the cut. there's only four chapters out right now, and a fifth dropping soon-ish. some of these bits of lore won't be revealed for several chapters. so only read if you want spoilers.

okay so where do I even start. well first off, this is actually a sort of adjacent / spinoff story to someone a friend of mine wrote called The Matron's Handmaiden, which is a really good M/s lesbian love story that's longer than LOTR. although it is extremely intense and hard to get into, and I certainly don't recommend it to everyone. I'm trying to write FM in a way that you won't need to have read MH to understand it, but will still be entertaining if you have. basically the only thing you need to know is that the Italian mafia exists, and runs a semi-secret operation where people get made into... let's say "less-than-willing servents"

so Fool's Mate focuses primarily on the relationship between Rosa DiAngelo and Avery Fitzgerald. Rosa's parents come from two different crime families. her father, Antonio Fiore, was a hitman for the Italian mob her, Margarita Ruiz, comes from a family that ran a drug empire in Puerto Rico until the communist revolution forced them to move to new york. being from two different cultures and competing for control of the city, Tony and Rita's families fought a lot. despite this, they fell in love with each other. although they try to treat this as a storybook Romeo and Juliette style romance (or I guess in this case West Side Story), their marriage was actually arranged so that the Italians could have a share of the opium business while the PRs received protecting from the mob, and was seen as mutually beneficial for both families.

Rosaline Fiore was the first and only child born to Rita and Tony Fiore. she grew up rich, pampered, and spoiled rotten. everything she could ever possibly want was handed to her on a silver platter. but around the time she was about 7 or 8 years old, her father started to get back in with the mob and was almost never home. to help take care of Rosaline, Tony "hired" a maid named Irene Sorello, who he renamed to Iris.

Iris had a rough life growing up. her mother left home, and her father was incredibly abusive. she was always a bit goth and into the occult and mysticism and stuff, but her father called it demon worshipping and tried to make her stop. when she was around 16, she ran away from home, and through a series of unfortunate events, ended up becoming the Fiore family's live in maid, and Rosaline's babysitter.

Iris realized early on that Rosaline was an extremely weird kid. she had almost no empathy for others. she's unsure how much of this is caused by her parents, especially her father, being neglectful, and how much of it is Rosaline's own issues. despite this, Iris deeply cared for Rosaline and did her absolutely best to take care of the princess.

Rosaline went to a private catholic high school called St Andrew's Academy. her two friends, Juno and her cousin Christina, stayed by her side no matter what. there was an incident where a classmate was being racist to her, but when Rosaline told her father about this, that girl's family mysteriously moved away. so no one fucked with her after that.

around the time Rosaline starts high school, Aiden Fitzgerald is about 7 years old. he lives in a small new york apartment with his mother, Eileen. Eileen, a single mother and Irish immigrant, struggles to raise her son on her own. she seeks help from a close friend of hers, another single mother Veronica Accardi, who also has a daughter of her own named Violet. Aiden and Violet grow up to be close friends, almost like siblings. and Ms Accardi is like a second mother to Aiden.

I'm not gonna reveal how because spoilers, but one day Eileen dies. Aiden is traumatized, and Ms Accardi volunteers to adopt him, raising him as her own son.

eventually, Aiden comes out as transgender, changing her name to Avery. Veronica and Violet are both super accepting and support her transition.

meanwhile, back at the Fiore manor, Rosaline is 18 and in her senior year. for the past year, her and Juno have been dating. but Juno has been showing more and more masculine traits, wearing the boys uniform, cutting her hair shorter. eventually, Juno comes out to Rosaline as a trans man and changes his name to Julius. Rosaline doesn't take this easily, assuming that Julius is trying to turn her straight, and the two get into a huge fight and break up. despite this, they both still have feelings for each other but are both too prideful to admit it.

Rosaline is furious, and acts like a huge brat when she's not given something she wants for the first time in her life. she takes out a lot of this anger on Iris, who takes the abuse without resisting. around this same time, her father who has only been home occasionally for the past decade announces that he's retiring from the mob the same month Rosaline leaves for college. Rosaline interpret this as her father not loving her and trying to avoid her, and feels that her low empathy and abusive tendencies (as well as a past traumatic even that I won't spoil) makes her unlovable. she tries to talk to Iris about this, realizing that she has a crush on her. but when Iris rejects her and says that Rosaline is more like a sister to her than anything, Rosaline loses her temper and whips Iris across the back so hard that she still has a scar over a decade later.

meanwhile, Avery is having simar feelings towards Violet. being by her side for her entire life, she feels a deep attraction for her. but Violet has repeatedly shown that she sees Avery as more of a little sister, and Avery feels it's too awkward to confess her feelings to her. around this time, she meets a new best friend, Rachel Goldwyn, and the two hit it off well. Rachel acts as the sort of overprotective mother of the group, and is especially needed when Violet's teenage punk antics get them into trouble.

Rosaline leaves for college, and tries to separate herself from her family as much as possible, going so far as to change her name to Rosa DiAngelo to avoid people recognizing her as a mafia princess. she sleeps around a lot, having a preference for girls with dark red hair just like Iris. Rosa and Christina hang out whenever they get a chance. but despite all this, there's still an aching feeling that she misses Julius, but will never admit it to herself.

years pass. Violet graduates high school, then Avery and Rachel a few years later. Violet starts a band who eventually get a record deal, and Rachel gets married and has a kid before she's 21. including Rachel's husband and daughter, the five of them live in a tiny crowded apartment. while Rachel and Violet are somewhat successful, Avery is an absolute failure. she can't keep a job, or a boyfriend, to save her life. the only thing she's half decent at cooking meals that Ms Accardi taught her. her main hobby is watching video game streams online alone in her room.

for her 21st birthday, Violet and Rachel basically force Avery out of the house to go to a nightclub, despite how much Avery hates it. there, she meets someone who can't keep her eyes off her; Rosa DiAngelo.

and that's at least most of the backstory for my OCs so far. I'm currently writing chapter 5, which is a flashback to were Avery and Rosa first meet. and I plan on introducing Iris properly in a few chapters, too, as well as giving Rosa a bit of a family reunion.

if you wanna hear more nsfw details or want a link to the current four chapters, dm my other blog @angel-in-shibari, because I am NOT posting them here lmao

I genuinely thought I hallucinated him cause he literally only shows up for a second, buffs the monsters, dips out (this is very on brand)

Looked it up, found the Camelot & co illustrations, forgot how to breathe for a minute.

I hope you are doing well!

I am doing ok all things considered.

Agartha is the most hated chapter next to Septum. They were written by the same person if I remember correctly? It's very much specifically a him problem, he's quite bad at writing.

I like Astolfo, but I watched Apocrypha so a lot of it comes from there. I also agree that it was nice to see fate lean into him being an actual villain! Wish it had happened in a better chapter!

When it comes to Wu... I don't really know how I feel about her tbh. When it comes to lolis in Fate... there is no innocent explanation I am willing to give them because I know Prisma Illya exists. And because of something related to Abigail Williams I won't get into yet because I don't know if you have done Salem or not. No amount of interesting takes on a character excuses sexualizing a child, it's honestly my biggest ick with the series as a whole.

Back to Agartha for a second... fgo does this thing where it will introduce a female historical figure who is known for having been sexualized and degraded and it will make her character design hyper sexual, and they do this constantly. There are a lot of arguments about this, some say it's about reclaiming a woman's power and agency but I don't really find myself able to accept that. It sort of rings hollow when you are a gacha game that makes money off of making sexy women. It's kind of like a makeup company advertising women's empowerment as a key part of their brand identity. Sure, your founders and employees might really believe that, but you are pushing skincare products towards a younger and younger age demographic because it makes you money.

I don't know if you are familiar with NeiR at all, but the weird guy who makes it has been pretty open about the fact that he made 2b look like that because he thought it would be sexy. I have 0 problems with that, what I don't like is when a game or franchise makes money off of sexy women and then bends over backwards to justify why they do that. But then again, bending over backwards to justify things is sort of Fate does at all times anyway so maybe I'm just over thinking things. It is nice to have a chance to talk about these things and still be allowed to like the series! The fight scenes in fate are peak as are some of the concepts they come up with, I just don't always enjoy it when they start pandering because well. It's not like they're pandering to me now are they?

[hollowflight-propaganda]

Unpopular opinion, but I genuinely think that March of the Oni is one of the worst Ninjago seasons, (That is if you even count it as a season.) and it's all because of that last episode. The fact that the title is even "Endings" and yet is one of the worst season finales I've seen in this whole show just makes my blood boil.

Because when you think about it, this episode is supposed to act as the ending not only for itself and the two seasons before it, but the first ten seasons and the Wilfilm era as a whole. But, to me at least, it just feels like it dropped the ball. (If you wanna read my long ass rant, be my guest.)

The most egregious thing this episode does is what they did with Cole. Literally what was the reason for this fake out death if he's just gonna show up completely fine afterwards. And yes, I know that it sparked some of the most tear jerking moments in this show and furthered what Lloyd and Garmadon had going on, but doesn't that just make it worse that it feels like this whole thing went nowhere? And I don't want to hear anything like, "Well, bad and unexpected things happen in life all the time! It's just being realistic!" If this show was going for that type of realism everyone in the main cast should be dead by now. And I'm not saying that that's not a true statement about the world, but this is a lego ninja show aimed at eight year olds.

And then there's the second fake out death in this four episode season. And I'm also aware that the scene where Lloyd meets the FSM is cool. I also think that the scene is really cool! But my problem lies in the fact that Lloyd dying and then being fine minutes later doesn't serve anything. At least Cole falling caused some interesting scenes, but what happened to Lloyd doesn't cause anything! And yes, he met god, but then god told him that he won't remember any of this anyway. Oh well.

And then Garmadon just walks away??? Like, I get why HE would do that, but Wu just let's him leave????? Isn't this guy literally only the evil parts of who he was before? And not to mention that he forcibly became a dictator like three weeks ago.

And there's so many other things that piss me off, like how Kai has kind of a full circle moment with his smithing abilities, and as a longtime Kai fan I really like this idea! But then it was only a 20 second montage. Like, you aren't even going to give us a reason as to how he became so good at being a blacksmith that he can reforge the fucking GOLDEN WEAPONS? NO??? Ok then! *explodes with rage*

And my next complaint is moreso targeted at the whole season, but am I the only one who thinks that the Oni where really underwhelming? Like, these are supposed to be demons hellbent on the total destruction of the universe, but they're also the most forgettable villains in this entire show. The only reason why I even remember Omega's name is because that name in this context is kickass, but other than that he has nothing going for him. He's just here to destroy and kill everybody, that's it. What makes him and say, Kalmaar so different, is that Kalmaar has an actual personality. They have the same fundamental plan, but Kalmaar feels more like a classic disney villain while Omega is an extremely watered down version of the Christian take on Satan. This could've been the chance to make some absolutely epic lore about the Oni, where they've been, what they're like, or literally anything. But no, they're just here to kill.

And then they where defeated by the power of spinning really fast with your fam. The whole Tornado of Creation coming back just to serve as a callback and a convenient Oni killswitch has always bugged me. It just feels really cheap, especially with how everything faded to white and we didn't even get to see what actually happened.

But the real reason why I hate this final episode so damn much is that, I really liked the episodes before it! When it was coming out I thought that this would be really good, and I was legitimately excited to see how it ended! But then it crushed my dreams by having the worst ending possible and I haven't been able to trust since.

Okay, I think I'm done now, these aren't all of the reasons why I hate it so much, but I've rambled enough so I'm done.

The Necromancer: Limos!! I command you to tell me EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!

Limos: no.

The Necromancer: oh come ON! You keep dropping random but VERY INTRIGUING bits of info that I want to know more about! Don't you feel even a TAD bit guilty about leaving your dear niece in such agonizng curiousity?!

Limos: no.

The Necromancer: COME ON!!! Ever since I discovered Yuu in that sketchbook-

Limos: Yuu.

The Necromancer: what-?

Limos: Yuu. you pronounced it wrong.

The Necromancer: Yuu.

Limos: Yuu.

The Necromancer: You.

Limos: Yuu.

The Necromancer: Yule.

Limos: Yuu.

The Necromancer: Youuuu'lll...REGRET TRYING TO AVOID THE SUBJECT!!! Anyways, ever since I discovered that BETA MALE was you, I just realized how much I didn't know about you! And yet you know everything about ME! That doesn't make me feel superior to you at all! So spit out your oc lore this instant!

Limos: alright. i've got nothing better to do, anyways.

The Necromancer: w-wait what? You're actually going to tell me? Holy heck I- I didn't expect-

Limos: but i'd rather show....then tell.

The Necromancer: L-Limos what do you mean by that-

Necromancer was interupted by small coughs and groans, coming from Limos. That could only mean one thing. Locust vomit. And it would most- DEFINITELY devour her if she didn't hightail it out of here. The undead creature immediately summoned her wine glass and conentrated a little energy on it, shooting it out as it formed a small barrier around her. She was hoping this could delay the locust for a while if she didn't make it in time. Necromancer wasn't in a situation where she could easily escape, unfotunately. She was currently at the demon hole, Limos's domain. Or well...was his domain until a certain Star Warrior caused havoc among its inhabitants. Getting here was hard enough, but escaping it was even harder. Yet her stubbornness and thirst for the forbidden knowledge (that is Limos's past life as a beta male) had led her to this dangerous place. But she knew nothing would happen to her, The Necromancer always escapes death! She would leave this place unscathed and go bother Limos another day! But...as she turned around to check on Limos after hearing a grusume sound from him, his locusts seemed quite...different. Not to mention the black fluid that is Limos's insides had started to rapidly spread across the ground and sky, creating a dome encompassing them both. Necromancer felt nothing at all, this wasn't a swarm trying to eat her, this was something else entirely! The strangest thing is that her feet couldn't feel the vomit at all. It wasn't sticky or gross, it just felt like she was stepping on glass. Yet when she moved, its surface rippled like water. The locust emerge from Limos's orifices and fly off in many directions, forming different sillouettes. They seemed to resemble buildings, people, clouds, market stalls....and it was all somehow...familiar. Soon, color started to present itself, painting on its black, liquiform canvas. Life breathed in her surroundings, making the objects instantly become animated. She looked down, to see rocky paths. She looked around, to see real buildings and people moving like npcs in a video game, going about their daily programmed lives. She looked up, to see the sky's clouds slightly move in the winds direction, which she could feel. This wasn't just some extra fancy locust powered virtual reality, she could actually feel the sunlight warming her skin, the wind blowing past her cape and hear the chatter of the citizens of this place. She immediately broke out of her shock once Limos slowly lowered himself next to her from the sky and popped her barrier like a bubble.

The Necromancer: GAH-!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!?

Limos: you wouldn't be able to feel the full effects of the illusion.

The Necromancer: illusion?....YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS ALL ILLUSION MAGIC?! HOW?!? HOW POWERFUL-

Limos: flattery won't get you anything.

The Necromancer: So this is what you meant by show...THEN tell!! Oh man, this is so COOL!!

Limos: welcome to ancient halcandra. or more specifically, Nepholandral. Once we get to Cloud Palace, i'll tell you all about Yuu.

The Necromancer: Cloud Palace? Like a Palace in the sky?

Limos: yes. usually the elevator to it is located at ClockWork Castle, which is that giant building over there.

He turns around and points at a large castle in the distance surrounded by tiny clouds, which led to even bigger ones on the far right.

Limos: but i'll just teleport us there.

The Necromancer: Awwwe come on! That's taking the fun out of it!

Limos: too late. we're here.

The Necromancer: DAMMIT HOW DID WE TRANSISTION SO FAST?!?-

Instantly, they found themselves amongst the clouds. The sky was much brighter than before, this upsetted Necromancer immensely.

A few young astrals ran past them, giggling and laughing as they chased each other around. They all had little swirls on their heads resembling the hair that Necromancer had, only in different styles.

Limos: oh would you look at that, a constellation of astrals.

The Necromancer: that's cute.

Limos: sarcasm is unbecoming of you.

Suddenly, a yelp. The two turned around to its source and found...

A light yellow astral wearing a big, puffy hat that had a blue band with a cloud like emblem imprinted in the middle.

"No stop! Don't pull on the runes! Please!!"

It was Yuu! The beta male! And he was being picked on by CHILDREN!

The Necromancer: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HE'S CRYING! OH MY GOD HE'S CRYING!!!!!

Limos: if the memories i'm storing are correct, this was at the time Yuu just finished his coming of age ceremony and was gifted a hat with magic runes.

The Necromancer: God this is pathetic! If it were me, i'd wack all those little buggers with my staff!

The children only continued to bother him even more, laughing at the funny faces this man was making. They split into two teams and tugged at the hat's twin tails, stretching the fabric out. Yuu didn't know what to do, he could only frantically stare at the children. He couldn't stop them, because in every direction he ran to stop the children only resulted in the hat being sretched out even further. His eyes started swelling as his cheeks flushed. In broad day light, he was wrestling with these cruel demons while on the verge of tears. The thought was so embarrasing and humiliating that Yuu could only sit down and accept defeat. But then...

"Stop it. Leave him alone."

A harsh, gruff voice rang out, scaring off the little astrals. It belonged to different, much larger astral. His skin was pure white, almost blending on with the sky and clouds. The being had 3 swirls on each side, its hairstyle resembling a bench wig. A giant greatsword was strapped to its back, giving you the impression that this man was a warrior. He slowly approaches Yuu, who was sobbing through hiccups on the ground.

"You are pathetic, Yuu."

"B-Beheader-sama!!"

The Necromancer: Beheader-sama?

Limos: that was The Beheader. Yuu's so called mentor or something.

The Necromancer: geez. What a weird name.

Limos: ......

Yuu quickly stood up and wiped his tears, trying hard to compose himself in front of The Beheader. Afterall, he's an adult now. He wasn't supposed to act so wimpy, especially not in front of the person he looked up to the most.

"I'm sorry sir...."

A deep, annoyed sigh emitted from the old astral. He looked at Yuu, who's face was beet red. This young astral never ceased to suprise him on how easily he could cry.

"Forget it, how did your coming of age ceremony go?"

"It was okay! And....funny? I don' know...i heard snickering in the crowd..."

"They were laughing at you."

"Y-you don't have to point it out!"

Yuu whined and pouted, waggling his head at The Beheader, to whom only rolled his eyes at him.

"I- I know that i'm still not man enough to be an adult.....I know i'm not supposed to cry like this. I thought i'd get better once I matured! But it all stayed the same! I'm still the same old crybaby everyone knew and patronized behind my back."

"Mhm."

The Beheader remains unfazed with a glazed over look in his eyes. They stayed silent for a few seconds, which confused Yuu a lot.

".....A-aren't you going to say anything?"

"I'm not quite sure what to comment on that. You said the truth."

"Beheader!!!!!"

Yuu once again whined, this time in a much more childish manner. He couldn't help but chuckle a little at his demeanor. This young astral was trying to desperately to fit what society deemed "mature" and "manly", yet failed everytime. It was a little funny, but more deppressing than anything. Everyone kept looking down on him, nobody achknowledged his efforts at all. As for what these concepts meant to The Beheader, they were all alien to him.

After all, he was an outcast. The beheader may live among the skies, but he was never one to really be intergrated in the confusing society that was built upon Cloud Palace. Time and time again, Beheader would remind him of how futile it would be if he were to just expect his problems would automatically disappear once he has his coming of age ceremony. And Beheader was proven right.

"Yuu, what does it matter? how others view you shouldn't be your problem."

"But it is! I can't run away from everyone and be cool like you, Beheader-sama.....I have duties, responsibilities! I'm supposed to be strong figure in the royal court one day and yet....I'm still immature and stupid....."

"You aren't stupid, Yuu. You just don't know any better."

"I- I have to be strong. Teach me how to be strong, Beheader-sama!"

"......Huh?"

The Necromancer: HUH?!?!

Limos: and that was the beginning of the chain of events that led to Yuu's death and the ressurection of Limos. oh.... thats me.....we'll continue tommorrow.

The Necromancer: wait no no no I want to see how Beheader REACCCTS-

Everything immediately reverts back to its fluidic, black dome and retreats to Limos's location. They were back in the underworld, and Limos had lain down on the floor to take a nap.

The Necromancer: Hey! Warn me next time you do that, asshole!

Limos: zzzzzzz

The Necromancer: I know you're pretending to be asleep, nobody sleeps while saying Z's out loud! Limos!!! LIMOS WAKE UP I WANT TO KNOW MOOORRRRREEEEE!!!

Bonus doodle☆

[zhongrin]

!!! the event + afterparty were all super fun to witness n you did a really good job!! the afterparty was a little hard to follow but super cool nonetheless. also, when i sent in that ask abt my theory, i was so sure i was right only to get humbled by the alchemist sdbfhjsd

if you dont mind, can you explain the whole thing going on with albedo and dorian? mb im just slow or missed a bunch of important lore while scrolling through my dash, but what actually happened?

thank youuuu <333 and hsldkfjlsdf i hope bedo's answer didn't hurt you or anything, he's just.... i feel like it would be how he writes hahaha

oh gosh uhh the whole thing? there's.... there's a lot shldfjlksdfj

ok, let me try to summarize this... (i won't include ALL the hints i dropped because that would be. uhh. crazy. lol. just the important ones!)

ebg event

you can see a documentary of all the asks here - except for day 7 (thanks navi!! mwah mwah)

there are a few clues dropped in here and there as to what's causing mei's (who is my sona in this story basically) memory loss. the pills were a distraction (they really were for caffeine deficiency). but if you go through some asks and my posts for the last 2 days (albedo taking out mei's vision from the drawer + them taking it somewhere else), you'll notice that it's actually the loss of her vision that's causing it (side note, i was cheeky and gave yall hint on the vision poll - there's a hidden link on the underline of the emoji. you're welcome <3)

as for what happened on day 7... there were many things that happened because things were escalating really fast, and basically one of you tried to save mei AND almost succeeded. this happened on the last ask of day 7, where mei confronts albedo for the pills (because her friends - aka everyone - were basically saying that the pills were the issue here). pushed up against the wall, albedo decides to subdue her and flees to another location because he knows the lab isn't safe.

ebg afterparty

so after all that, we transition to the afterparty. where basically albedo and dorian take over the blog, because mei is mostly unconscious. as for why she's unconscious, it was because of fentanyl, which bedo actually referenced here before.

on the afterparty intro post, you can see that there are codes that you can actually try to decipher. but i'll spare you the headache and gives you the result. it says:

1 ask = 10m Σ 2800m time is ticking

this is basically a countdown to mei waking up. the total is 2800 minutes (aka 48 hours - so that's 2 days). 1 ask (only valid ones though, not the shitposts. which you can see, some posts have the '10' tag and some don't) will minus 10 minutes off the clock. and this runs in real time. the pinned post had the countdown and the hour, so you could actually track from there.

the gimmick is that, albedo will keep adding into this 'clock'. hence you see some posts with '+240' and all that. so it was actually everyone's objective to keep sending asks and waking mei up. i think only a few people realized this lol

so! that's the mechanics out of the way. lore-wise, remember: the missing vision was the reason mei lost her memories. albedo/dorian took that vision out of the drawer somewhere. so your goal was to actually locate where they were hiding and give mei's vision back to her.

now about the 'timelines' - basically what happened was that, since everyone was doing rp on their own characters and situations, it wasn't possible at this point to make them happen in one world. hence, i dropped hints about different timelines being at work here.

think of it as a parallel universe, right? one decision leads to another, and had you made a different decision, it would have been a branch of a story on its own.

but considering all that, the main storyline is still the same. everyone's goal is still the same, and albedo's actions don't differ much from all the timelines. hence i kept trying to steer you all toward where they were (it was mingyun village. see if you can spot all the little hints i dropped lol).

the thing is that almost no one really realized about the missing vision until later on, and even then no one asked where it was. so i couldn't fit the opportunity to give you clues ;w; (but on risu's last ask, i did give you a revelation - it's actually on albedo. yeah.. he had it on him the entire time lol)

so uh yeah. anyway. i probably missed a lot of things. but keep sending stuff so i can. rehash it out and geek out about all the hidden lore of this massive au? please lol

reader impact || fan service scene: resting with you

series masterlist characters: diluc, xiao, zhongli genre: fluff summary: the creators of genshin impact have graciously gifted the players with a fan service scene featuring you! notes: i know dill's doesn't contain sleeping in your lap,,, i'm sorry but i hope you like what i provided :))

diluc -

diluc isn't one to have many sleep issues.

until the nightmares kick in.

whenever he can't sleep, he tends to just sit in his house.

it's always quiet.

not something you'd want after a nightmare, but he deals with it.

it's better than trying to expose himself to thousands or even millions of people.

but one night, after a particularly harsh nightmare, he remembers that the next day was supposed to be when he streams the newest genshin update.

but, he's already up...

and...

he probably will try to take a nap later today anyway...

soooo.

"i know it's a bit of an early, or late, stream but i was already awake."

his stream is definitely worried because this is the first time he streams at like 2:00 am.

he won't address it, though.

they don't need to know, anyway.

he pretty much tries to ignore any questions about his sleeping habits and opts to answer them very vaguely.

he is excited to play the update because he knows there's some more (name) content :))

he'll get everything done that he needs to do like commissions and events from them nice nice primogems.

and then here he is, ready to start the newest feature.

go to the angel's share.

ah yes, the place his character officially met you for the first time.

(he definitely has issues with interacting with patton before going inside)

the quest basically has diluc go around to collect more things needed for the winery.

pretty simple quest.

canonically, the quest takes the mc a few hours to complete because the materials are everywhere.

so a cutscene plays when he gets back to the dawn winery, which is where charles told him to bring the materials.

he walks inside and there you are.

greeting him with a brief nod and a wave of your hand.

mc drops the items on the table, ready to turn around and leave for another commission.

until you call out to him.

"ah, traveler."

mc turns back around and walks back to stand next to you.

you stand up from your chair and place a hand on their shoulder.

you stare at them for a moment.

"...i apologize. you must have been traveling for a long while to get the materials."

mc tries to wave you off.

"no, no. you'll hurt yourself. hm... come with me."

you literally CARRY MC TO A SPARE ROOM.

EXCUSE ME YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT SO CASUALLY?!?!?!

anyway, you pull up a chair next to the bed before placing the mc on the bed.

you simply sit in the chair, quietly stroking your thumb along the mc's arm.

"take a break. i'm sure the adventurer's guild will do just fine for now."

diluc is trying his hardest to hold back tears.

he just... really needed this.

xiao -

it's widely known amongst xiao's community that he has insomnia.

he talks about it a lot on how he has trouble sleeping and he even streams on the nights where it gets so bad he doesn't like being alone with his thoughts.

such is the case here where a new update drops and he's up and ready to play.

he greets everyone briefly as they enter the stream, rubbing his eyes and letting out small yawns every once in a while.

they always know when it's an especially hard night for him, so they come prepared with (name) emotes to try and cheer him up.

they don't have the heart to spoil him about the new update and what it includes.

of course, there will always be that one person who tries to spoil something.

the chat sees that and just spams (name) emotes to hide it.

and since xiao is pretty sleep deprived at this point, he doesn't notice.

now he's ready to actually play.

he'll complete his daily commissions and anything else he needs to get done before checking out the newest features.

he does know that there's a part in the update that features you :0

he doesn't know what the actual update is but he just knows that he'll be able to see you again :))

so he's going through the update, right?

just admiring you even if he's half asleep.

and here comes the part that actually almost put him to sleep right there.

his mc and you are walking down the streets of liyue and it's all dark.

there's a few lights here and there.

you two are walking down to the inn he had first met you at.

passing by the boss lady at the front counter.

walking up the stairs.

and there you two are, on the very balcony he ad first seen you on.

"...you seem tired."

his character doesn't say anything (as expected) but just rubs their eyes and nods.

pain is floating beside you two before going off towards the kitchen downstairs.

now it's just you two.

"you should take a rest."

your voice was so soft :))

you look around the balcony before sighing, taking a seat on the ground.

his character stares at you for a bit before you pat your legs.

"i told you to rest, didn't i?"

?!?!?!?!

YOU'RE TELLING HIM

TO LAY DOWN

ON YOUR LAP????

ASJHAKDHAK

ahem.

anyway.

his character takes a bit before finally letting their head rest in your lap.

he's thanking whoever animated this part because it's a POV shot from the mc.

he's just staring up at you.

you're looking down at him with the softest expression he's ever seen.

"...rest now. i won't let anything harm you."

his chat is freaking out.

he's almost asleep at this point.

life is good.

zhongli -

zhongli doesn't have a lot of sleep issues either...

if he did, he'd probably just drink some tea and try to sleep again.

he isn't the type of stream late at night/early in the morning.

because of this, he plays the newest update for genshin at his scheduled time.

some people who watch him are going to bed though, so it's late at night/early in the morning for them :)

he knows this and tries to tell his viewers to get proper rest.

"it isn't good for you to stay up so late."

he really cares about them :))

he's happy to talk to them though.

(he definitely knows people like his voice so he's happy to help them sleep by talking to them)

his daily objectives take longer considering he's taking the time to read to his viewers.

of course, all of the things he's reading are genshin based.

more specifically you, but they don't mind.

anyway, he FINALLY gets his stuff done.

now he's finally ready to start the new (name) quest.

he's like... one or two hours into the stream already.

but he doesn't mind longer stream, especially when it concerns you.

go to third round knockout

ah yes, the little restaurant you go to for stories about yourself.

and, of course, there you are sitting at your usual chair and drinking tea.

you invite him over to sit down, which causes another cutscene to play, talking more about your adventures as a god/dess.

and, to zhongli's delight, the quest fully begins.

the quest follows you and mc going around lie, exploring different areas while you talk about what you've done there in the years you've been alive.

it's a more chill quest that features lore and character building :))

and then you get to a more secluded spot in lieu.

just the two of you.

the sun has already set and the stars are shining down on the two of you.

zhongli isn't saying anything, reveling in the silence as if he were actually there, standing next to you.

and then your character takes a seat in the grass.

and mc follows suit, sitting beside you.

it isn't long before zhongli's character begins to drift off to sleep.

and that's when it happens.

you reach over and pull mc into your lap, your storytelling continuing as if nothing happened.

"this may be awkward, but i noticed you were falling asleep. go on ahead. i'll be happy to share my stories to help you rest."

zhongli, once again, isn't saying anything. he simply lets the cutscene play.

you're still recalling tales of your past, calmly telling them to whoever was listening.

it's calm and quiet.

and zhongli now knows why people love hearing him tell stories as they sleep.

because he is definitely getting that same sensation hearing you recall your past.

Part 1 - Basic Concepts of Miraculous Ladybug: Miraculous Jewels

Alright! I promised you meta and now I deliver!

I feel like people mostly watch Miraculous for the romance these days. Shipping is all everyone cares about. I wonder why? Probably because writers themselves don't take their worldbuilding very seriously and because they don't put much effort into making the audience care about something other than Love Square, like the mythology behind the Miraculous, or motivations of the main villain, or some pretty heavy topics for a kid's show that they bring up and then refuse to touch again. You know, all the good things. And this is coming from someone who is a passionate multishipper. I have lived through several shipping wars in different fandoms and came out victorious after all.

I am probably the only person out there who cares about the big picture, the overall storyline and the worldbuilding of Miraculous in addition to all details and implications that could develop into fascinating plotlines relevant to the main story. It is a rather lonely fandom experience, I must confess. But, hey? Who cares? I am here to have fun and bring to the table discussions no one wants to have.

So, let's talk about the basics.

If you, as the writing team, are capable of keeping only 1 thing consistent, then please, I beg you, let it be the basic concepts of your universe. Because in this case, one has to actively put effort into writing characters and conflict resolutions badly. And also because nothing can save bad worldbuilding.

I don't have high worldbuilding standards for Miraculous. They certainly aren't as high as the ones I had for Legend of Korra (which was a badly written trainwreck, that ATLA doesn't deserve as a sequel) or the ones I currently have for Dragon Prince. Therefore I won't be too harsh in my criticisms. Granted, I think that Miraculous has better worldbuilding and lore consistency than Winx Club for example (I haven't seen the reboot yet, so writers might have fixed their worldbuilding at least a little bit). Even though I enjoyed Winx when I was younger and some elements of this story still attract me.

Both serialised and episodic shows as well as movies to the lesser extent must have some flexibility in worldbuilding and plot because you can never be 100% sure where your story is going. Maybe, you'll get money for more seasons, maybe not. However, you must never lose sight of your basic concepts. They have to stay the same no matter what, because rewriting lore and retconning major developments every new season is not and never will be called good writing.

Forgive me for using architectural metaphors, but you need a solid foundation to build any kind of structure. Otherwise, everything falls apart.

I like to apply this logic to writing as well. When designing a world where your story takes place, you must lay a few ground rules. It's especially important if you have a magic system. What kind of ideas absolutely must exist? What kind of conclusion do you want your story to have? Does your magic system has limitations? Where is the grey area? Could you introduce new elements later on?

And I feel like the writing team of Miraculous Ladybug did not ask these questions. This may feel like I am nit-picking canon material and looking for problems that simply aren't there, but I promise that I am not. You see, things that I am about to point out only seem small at first glance. But these details are actually the source of the largest plotholes in the series. And their presence negatively affects character development, conflicts and resolutions of said conflicts.

That doesn't mean that I have nothing good to say about the magic system of the show and its elements. There are a lot of great ideas and concepts. And some of them have the potential to contribute to the delightful story.

Let's dive right into it, shall we?

Camouflage

I have to give credit where it's due because the idea of camouflage and shapeshifting for Miraculouses is brilliant. It seems like Miraculous can't fundamentally change its type of jewellery or accessory. The ring will always be the ring but with a different ornament, colour or shape. This is true most of the time (Monkey Miraculous is an exception since it transformed into earplugs/headphones/headband/circlet) It makes sense and avoids plotholes. Grimoire doesn't have the pictures of each Miraculous in disguise for identity protection. That was very neat too. I have no comments. This concept was very good.

Also, since Marinette wore a nose ring of the Ox in "Kwamibuster" without any problem and Adrien wore Ladybug's earrings in "Reflekdoll", we can assume that you don't need to have piercings to wear a Miraculous. Miraculous just magically passes through your skin.

I'm interested to know the following. Can Kwamis recognise a camouflaged Miraculous on a person? Can the holder order them to confess the identity of this person? This shouldn't be possible for identity protection just like with Kwamis sensing each other. But more on that in later posts.

Power Levels

For a long time, we assume that there are only 7 Miraculouses. Turtle belongs to Master Fu, Gabriel has Butterfly and Peacock, Marinette and Adrien have Ladybug and Black Cat. Everything is pretty straightforward. Then it's revealed that there are more jewels and more boxes. It makes the worldbuilding interesting, but it also majorly complicates things, making them inconsistent.

Their position in the Miracle Box implies their power levels. Creation and destruction are the most powerful forces in existence, therefore they are at the top. Moreover, it makes this Box the most important, the most powerful out of all others. Su Han in "Furious Fu" calls it "Mother Miracle Box". Fox, Turtle, Bee, Butterfly and Peacock have less power than the main pair, but more than the Miraculous of the lower Zodiac tier (since they correspond with animals of the Chinese Zodiac).

1. Ladybug can create anything out of nothing (Lucky Charm, which gives what you need the most at the moment). This Miraculous can resurrect the dead, reverse the effects of the Cataclysm. The power of Miraculous Cure or Miraculous Ladybug can work in several ways:

it simply repairs the damage (puts stuff back together, heals injuries and so on)

it reverses time for the matter, restoring things back to the state they were before the destruction occurred (however, the Cure doesn't erase people's memories of everything that happened unless they were mind-controlled, frozen in place or transformed by Akuma into something else - this is an important point that I'll discuss some other time)

How does Miraculous Cure work when there are no supervillians? In NY Special Marinette just says this.

Excuse me, what? What was that? You can't do anything when the villain is gone? What the hell?

*insert here every scene where Ladybug fixed Paris after destroying akumatized/amokized object (this action causes the Akuma victim to detransform/sentimonster to disappear - villain is gone) and purifying butterfly and feather*

It was such cheap angst. I couldn't even be upset when Adrien gave up his Miraculous, because that whole situation is just stupid. But, never mind. We aren't talking about that today.

Apparently, Lucky Charm and Miraculous Cure only work when summoned to battle a specific villain. What is the point then? Huh? You can't tell me that Ladybug has the power of unlimited creation and then say that she can't repair the damage without a special Lucky Charm that was magically synchronised with specific big bad of the week.

Ladybug also can purify Akumas. It makes sense for Ladybug to have the ability to reverse the magic of less powerful Miraculous. But this power can't be applied universally. How does this power of reversal apply to different situations where there is no evil Butterfly holder? Can Ladybug reverse the magic of any Miraculous?

The unlimited power of creation introduced in season 4 ("Mr. Pidgeon 72") is another fascinating thing. On one hand, it's logical and proves the status of this Miraculous as the most powerful. On the other hand, by introducing this power, you have created a plothole. Look, Marinette can create the charm which repels Akumas. If Ladybug can create anything then what stops her from creating a tool for finding Hawkmoth (like special glasses for discovering identities or a compass)? I mean, the show says that the power of creation is unlimited, it means that the creation of such tool is possible.

2. Black Cat can destroy anything with Cataclysm, even other Miraculous. He can kill living things and turn them into ash, but not himself. This Miraculous is supposed to have other special abilities that we don't see. And they should be equal to powers of Ladybug, both in number and in potency. Unfortunately, after 3 seasons writers didn't give us anything. It makes laughable the idea of balance between Ladybug and Black Cat.

Now, to the second tier. These Miraculouses have a singular ability, but they need a second one to keep the power balanced between Zodiac and the main pair.

3. Butterfly creates champions with different superpowers. But how does the time limit of children work for Butterfly? In theory, the countdown should start right after the creation of the Akuma since for Ladybug and Chat Noir countdown starts after activation of their powers even if they don't use them. However, if the countdown of the Butterfly begins after Akuma creation then there's no point because the holder has to stay transformed to guide their champion. The charged butterfly won't have time to even grant powers before the transformation of the child-holder drops. This issue is never explored because Gabriel doesn't have a time limit. However, I feel like it should be addressed in flashbacks of past Butterfly holders for example.

This Miraculous should be less powerful than Ladybug and Black Cat. It's often not. Some Akumas are too overpowered. Stormy Weather can move the Earth away from the Sun, Timetagger can send people through time and jump through time as well, Chat Blanc destroyed the world with a single energy blast, Miraculer could steal powers of those more powerful than her by default. These are the most notable examples. One could argue that Chat Blanc was a different case. Hawkmoth simply gave the most powerful Miraculous a boost. However, we know that even without a holder (the wildest and the most powerful form of uncontrolled Miraculous magic) Plagg's Cataclysm can't destroy the universe just like that (he presumably wiped out dinosaurs and sunk Atlantis on his own without a holder). I think that the less powerful Miraculous (Butterfly) shouldn't be able to increase the power of destruction to such a degree and give Black Cat the power to destroy celestial bodies and galaxies.

Writers want us to see Hawkmoth as the formidable villain. But it's not easy because he is less powerful than your main heroes by default of your worldbuilding. Sometimes writers make the Butterfly more powerful than creation and destruction to raise the stakes, breaking the laws of their magic system. So, how do you solve this? Let Ladybug and Black Cat keep their status as the most powerful and instead of giving Hawkmoth more magical power, make him smarter, more cunning, inventive. Gabriel is a fashion designer, whose creativity makes him a very good Butterfly holder. He has a life full of experience, he knows much more about things than the main teenage characters. Catalyst was very interesting for this very reason. Gabriel sort of discovered a cheat code to boost his powers. Show us how he experiments with his powers, how he analyses his past Akumas and tries to find the most effective ones. Maybe Gabriel tries to design Akumas that can specifically neutralise Ladybug and Chat Noir. This exploration could also give writers an opportunity to explain how the powers of Butterfly work. Can he control the type of powers he grants? Can he control the appearance of Akumas? There are many things to be explored.

4. Peacock creates sentimonsters. I remember that fans were very disappointed when the power of the Peacock was revealed at the end of season 2. I was one of them. The concept of Amoks is far too similar to akumatized butterflies. Other Miraculouses have unique abilities and keywords for their powers, while Peacock just looks like Butterfly 2.0. That glowing mask effect just adds insult to injury.

You have to start by figuring out the powers of the Peacock in a normal situation. If a holder is a good person, then how does their power work? For example, make them related to sight (because of the "eye" pattern on feathers). Maybe, Peacock grants the ability to see the several possibilities of the future, but only a few minutes ahead. Maybe, this Miraculous gives you the ability to see through someone's eyes for a few minutes (and the victim is completely unaware of the intrusion). Perhaps, Peacock allows the holder to use feathers (or tiny peacocks) as cameras one at a time and be all-seeing. These feather-spies can be destroyed by the holder or disappear on their own after some time. Such power could be devastating when used against heroes in canon.

5. Bee can paralyze. This power is pretty straightforward. Once I read a fanfiction focused on very vell done Chloe Redemption, where she fights alongside Ladybug and Chat Noir. Eventually, she grows and becomes a better person. This fic ends with an Akuma battle, where LB and CN are trapped and Akuma is ready to kill them. But Chloe uses a second power of the Bee on the villain - Miraculous Stinger. It's deadly both for the holder and for the victim (because bees die when they sting someone). Chloe kills the Akuma with a Stinger before it can get LB and CN, but she too dies making the ultimate irreversible sacrifice. I will add a link if I find it again.

6. Turtle can create a shield. I don't have much to say on this either. It feels underpowered compared to others in the second tier. Maybe Turtle can also slow down opponents (because turtles aren't the fasters animals out there).

7. Fox creates illusions and acts as their puppeteer. In order to create a balance between other powers, these illusions must hold for as long as the holder needs them to. I propose this mostly because we see that Venom of the Bee lasts very long, the shield of the Turtle lasts either until it's destroyed or the holder wants to remove it, same goes for Akumas and sentimonsters who disappear only when the holder wants them to or their affected object is destroyed.

Let's talk about Zodiac tier. Miraculous of the third tier shouldn't have the second ability like more powerful ones. These powers are the most inconsistent. Even if we haven't seen all of them yet.

8. Mouse can create many small clones of the holder. It is unclear how these clones communicate with each other and how many of them this Miraculous can create. The holder can control the number of clones. This power was very convenient in "Kwamibuster" and it makes sense symbolically for the mouse. What activates the time-limit for children? Marinette didn't have any problems with it when she became Multimouse.

9. Snake can create a 5-minute time loop and has the ability to come back in time. This Miraculous feels a bit overpowered for the Miraculous of the Zodiac Tier. The holder can reset the time as many times as he/she needs to. It's was a good source of drama and trauma in "Desperada". I was honestly surprised that Adrien was capable of fighting after spending months in a loop. But this doesn't change the fact that Snake is overpowered. You can give this Miraculous the power to hypnotise or keep the time ability but place a limit on the number of resets. How does the lyre work as a weapon? Who knows? No one!

10. Dragon can shapeshift into elements: water, wind and lightning. It has the coolest transformation words hands down (Bring the Storm and Open Sky). Apparently this Miraculous doesn't have the time limit.

11. Rabbit can time travel or jump through alternative realities, even writers aren't sure. Time-travel in this show is so badly written it gives me a headache. This Miraculous shouldn't exist just like its powers. Snake belongs to the same tier, but 5 minutes and whole centuries of time jumps aren't comparable in power levels. They are not and this is the hill I will die on. Give the Rabbit powers related to its symbolism in China like an ability to de-age people, heal them or give them a speed boost in contrast with Turtle who might have the ability to slow down.

This Miraculous is so special that its Kwami - Fluff can live separately from his Miraculous in a Miracle Box for millennia (Fluff lives in the Box in "Sandboy", but his Miraculous, pocket watch, was passed down for generations in Alix's family). This is a discussion for a separate post, however. There's a lot to unpack. We'll do that some other time. You will suffer with me but at a later date.

12. Horse can create portals. They could lead anywhere, which is pretty cool. On the other hand, this power is not very useful in direct combat, especially when it's used by a child since we can have only one portal per transformation.

13. Monkey can cause a malfunction in powers of other people. What is the point of this? This power was specifically created by writers to defeat Akuma in "Party Crasher". That's it. What if your target is not magical? How does this Miraculous work in different circumstances?

14. Pig shows people their greatest desire. Both the holder and the recipient of this power can see this desire. Chat Noir wasn't impressed in "Guiltrip" and neither was I. It's underpowered compared to other Miraculous in this tier. Also, why does the tambourine can shoot energy beams? Why?

That's all I have to say on the matter. I'll update the power analysis as needed.

[waveridden]

all the prime numbers for fic writer ask!

thank you for testing my basic mathematical knowledge. let's go

1: fic you're most proud of

i have several for different reasons lol but i was thinking about this powerful throwback earlier so i'll drop it in here: forward momentum is a rock band au i wrote when i was like 17 based on cw's wildly popular program the 100. it's a little odd in places because. i was like 17. but it was the first long project that i finished and it is something i still feel a lot of fondness for and i am so proud of it because i did it! it was the first project i committed to in that way. happy 7th birthday to that fic

2: what's a fic that took you to an emotional/dark/hard place?

writing stuff during the pandemic is very much looking back and going "oh, that was about the pandemic!" and nothing did that so extremely as stand tall, which is a blaseball fic about the snackrifice. i reread it a while ago and i was like. oh huh! a story about people experiencing physical separation who have to connect with one another via storytelling and adjust to the distance and loneliness! wonder what could've inspired that!

putting everything else under a cut bc i just realized how long this is going to be

3: what's a fic you're emotionally attached to?

oh i'm attached to many things i've written lol but i am going to shout out syrinx which is a taz balance merle character study about religion and is one of those things that i have just. always liked! sometimes there are ups and downs and sometimes "liking" things i write means going "yeah that was good" but this is one that i have always fully enjoyed and thought was sweet and i am immeasurably fond of it

5: what's a fic of your own you won't read?

my ofmd fic because it freaks me out looking at how many comments and kudos it has lol. i know this sounds like a humble brag but like 20% of the kudos i have ever gotten is on that fic and it's intensely intimidating

7: how does receiving or not receiving feedback impact you?

wow what a complicated question lol uhhh. the person whose opinion i care about the most is mine, let's start there. i try to write things that i am proud of and happy with. that being said! i like getting comments and kudos! i think it's cool when strangers read things i write and enjoy them, and sometimes it's frustrating when i put in a lot of time on something and it just...... doesn't get a big response. and at the same time i am always grateful for anyone who takes the time. it's one of those things where there are a dozen contradictory and equally true statements that i could say. i wish i could say the numbers don't matter to me, but they do! if i didn't want people to read what i write, i wouldn't post it. (there's plenty of stuff that i don't post!)

11: has a fic you've written ever caused issues/controversy?

there's a story here that i'm not going to tell lol but real ones remember free play (derogatory). my second answer is i wrote a page for the blaseball wiki recently that somehow indirectly resulted in a couple lore jams and major rewrites and issues. i don't really follow how like nobody told me i was involved but i guess i was

13: do you take pride in your writing, or does it embarrass you? why?

oh i'm so proud of it! this is a skill i've worked on and like i'm not kidding myself about my odds of getting published but that's not the goal, the goal is writing things for myself and my friends that i like and i am GREAT at that.

17: what is the best interaction/feedback/engagement you've received on a fic?

long comments make me happy! actually the thing that makes me lose it is transformative works, i've received three podfics and a translation and a sequel and some art (and of COURSE jamie who sent this ask sent me a physical bound copy of my d20bb fic destination as well as leaving a comment that delighted me and that's like. one of the all time coolest things.) idk i just think it's neat when my art moves people to make more art

19: if you could write an ideal fic, what would you include?

oh MAN what a question. uhh i'm never good at listing favorite tropes/plot points or things like that but i WILL say something i really struggle with is like. subplots and plot motion and things that feel external to the characters. so my ideal fic would include a strong subplot. (i am DYING to try and write a mystery sometime, i just haven't had a good idea yet.)

[josephrivera-jojoocblog]

//Me posting two lore/fight scenes in a row?? Look, I worked really hard on these and I like how they came out shhh

SPW grand Master's office, NYC, 10 pm, Joseph, after orchestrating the Brando associations destruction, and defeating dio, walks in to find zagreus waiting at his office

Joseph: Zagreus?...what are you doing here?...

Zagreus: ...'s obvious, right?... Taking my shot at ol everest...

J: I don't...follow?...

Z: Old man... You're the strongest person I know...and I want a shot at even trying to take you down...I...want to feel alive again...face my girls...face my girlfriend...with the same amount of energy and strength you muster every day...we come from same backgrounds...one parent out of the picture... the other missing...I want to know...who came out tougher...who came out stronger?...I want my attempt at climbing that mountain...seein' what it looks like at the top...if ya'd let me...otherwise, if I can't chase that dream...what's the point of livin'...

J: you want to fight me to sate your depression?...

Z: No...believe me, I want that title of yours...I bet I could run a place like this ten times better than- NO! no... It's not just depression... I feel like there's a deep longing in my soul...a want to fight maybe...might be my frenetic Nord blood in me...might be the royal vampire in me wanting to fight the alpha wolf... Truth be told I don't quite know...but I know it's telling me...if I beat you, if I can even get close... I'll reach my dream...

J: fine...I'll put you to the test, just know...

[Joseph would toss his shirt off, revealing some of his bandaging on his abdomen, as well as his Lion tattoo, he'd gotten when Marcus and Marley were born]

J: I won't hold back against you...if you think you're tough enough...

Z: ah you don't know how long I've been waitin', to hear someone ask me that... Cause for once in my life...I don't know if I am... [Shirt rip, revealing polar bear tattoo]

J: [gets into fighting stance] ...

Z: ... HERE GOES, JOSEEEEPH!

J: RAAAAAAH! [both men charge at each other, leaping before crossing arms midair, both attempting to throw the other to the ground, before landing, wrist against wrist, Joseph and zagreus begin the battle for the dream]

ZAGREUS GALLOWAY

THE BEAR OF AMSTERDAM

Joseph and zagreus trade punches in the office, before zagreus tackles Joseph, the two pressing against each other head to head, pushing against each other so hard their shoes smoke, before Joseph locks zagreus's arms, and headbutts him, launching him through the door, as Joseph charges at zagreus, zagreus catches him, launching him over the ledge, the two falling through the foyer as zagreus attempts to land a punch on the man, Joseph catching his arm in a brace before pulling zagreus under him so he'd take the landing, zagreus getting up due to his adrenaline and healing factor being in overdrive, though the impact opens the five bullet shaped wounds in Joseph's abdomen from Dio attempting to drink his blood, zagreus shows no mercy, and begins to swing at Joseph, even tanking two tiger drops, he again, tackles Joseph and attempts to slam him into the wall for a back breaker, though Joseph elbows his back and knees him in the ribs, simultaneously, causing zagreus to recoil in pain, where Joseph then kicks him out of the front door of the foundation onto the rainy streets, the two locking arms, landing mutual headbutts, zagreus actually pushing Joseph back a bit, before zagreus attempts to crush Joseph beast style with a trash can, Joseph catching the trash can and pushing back with so much force it causes zag to lose his grip

Joseph takes the opportunity to hit zagreus with the very same can, shattering it on the man, before uppercutting him with a swift harsh blow, bleeding out quickly however, Joseph staggers and right then, zagreus smashes his head with two arms, knocking the man on the ground, before zagreus lifts him up, and headbutts him back down, making an audible crack, reaching down again, Joseph uses the opportunity to catch zagreus's arm and flip him, striking at zagreus's chest with his knee, zagreus pushes him off just barely able to catch his breath, both men glaring at each other, they know now's the time to make or break, Joseph going in for one more punch while zagreus goes for one last kick, though Joseph is able to land the last blow as zagreus, barely attempting to stand, caves, falling to his knees drifting slowly out of consciousness as Joseph would stand over him

J: ...you're very strong Galloway... And I'm more...than willing...for a rematch when you're ready...until then...just keep being you...it's working...after all...

Zagreus would pass out with Joseph soon following, the rain however would slowly stop as iris would rush in and dress their wounds

But, anyways, let me start at the beginning. So, I hardly knew my dad, I think mom called him Dreamswap Blue? Blue for short. She said he was trapped in a ball of blue color or something along those lines, and she couldn't ever figure out how to free him. How she didn't know how many problems that would cause! I live in a future where foxes rain supreme. Their rules are infinite, the only, the supreme. Their leader is a kitsune, my mom was always into Korean folk lore for some reason so she told me about them. Cross, I think was his name, committed s**c*de a few days after I turned six. Then, when I was ten, Ink, Error, Dreamswap Ink were taken by the Kitsune army. Dream committed s**c*de a few days later, leading to Nightmare starving himself to death. Dreamswap Nightmare and Cross got captured by the katsune army for stealing and were sentenced to death. The only people we know are alive are mom, the other kids, aunt Blight, Dust, Horror, Killer, Dreamswap Dream and DS!Error, but they're hardly in any good shape. Nightmare's gang, I think mom called them, are all in a deep state of depression, Killer's the worst of the bunch, he can hardly move, let alone keep himself alive. Dreamswap Dream became insane after a while and won't speak to anyone except for me, the other kids, and Dreamswap Error. Dreamswap Error is the most stable out of them all, but he's still having a really hard time. He has a really hard time eating and he's been question numerous times by the army, but he's survived so far. You don't know how much stress that was on Dreamswap Dream! Aunt Blight has anxiety because of DS!Ink being taken, and it super jumpy and protective. Mom is super sad, but keeps a bright smile, but I know it's for show. Dad's ball was apprehended from us a couple of years ago. *FT!Griffin takes a deep breath.* Mom told me to go back in time to prevent that from happening. A-any questions? (woah a lot of text :0 Sorry about that-)
