Relationship status: in a polycule with my Fox Wife and my Corgi-Wife! (both are they-be and soemtimes Fox is Fox Husbando and Corgi is Space Cadet Theybe)

Favourite colour: Rich Garnet red, the color of blood as it oxidizes before it turns brown, the color of a sunset with a storm coming soon.

Something I want right now: Much like the person I stole this from? Money. I’d like to 7 k or so together to get us out of this hell state we are in. (Texas) Because its becoming increasingly hostile to me as a nurse, and to all of us as Queer Non-Binary folks. I also get some side eyes cause I am darker then my wives...

Song stuck in my head: .... Doot doot do doot do do do dodo dodo doooo-

Three favourite foods: Tonkatsu, Takoyaki, Pork Belly Curry

Last song I listened to: Die for You ft. grabbitz

Last thing I googled: Handicap accessible furniture that is beautiful (very slim pickings for those on a budget friends)

Dream trip: Okinawa Japan! Fox-wife lived there as a kid and talks about it so much. I’d love to take them and Corgi-Wife. That way Fox can show us all the things that make it incredible and to let them taste part of their happier childhood memories again. Plus, second hand shopping! They claim its some of the best~ and I love to finnd pretty vintage items.

If you had the opportunity to [safely] become a cyborg via body upgrades, would you take it?: Yes, yes in a heart beat if I could afford it and not indebt myself or my family to the literal medical devil. I’ve seen repo fuck that. But, My back is bad, my brain is bad, my autonomic nervous system is bad. My joints are all bad... there’s not a lot of me that’s actually fully functional. I’d love to finally be able to DO things again. To take care of my wives. To enjoy the career again that I worked so hard to get into as well... That said-

I’m tagging: All my Followers that wanna do a thing!

also what is the mechanisms. i have no idea what they are yet somehow.

the mechanisms are a steampunk folk storytelling band of immortal space pirates!

they recreate fairytales/mythos/legends, making them 1. in space 2. more sad and 3. more queer

Once Upon A Time (In Space) is their first album of their main storyline albums, and its fairytales. its about Cinders, Rose Red, Snow White, and tells of a war against the brutal and cruel tyrant Old King Cole. there are space lesbians.

Ulysses Dies At Dawn is their second main album, and one of my favorites. this one is greek mythology. it follows along ulysses and the suits. ulysses is referred to with they/them. the concept of this album is really, really fucking cool but i cant summarize it well

High Noon Over Camelot is their third of their mains and one of my favorites. this one is arthurian legend. its like a western. arthur/lancelot/guinevere cowboy polycule. mordred is trans. galahad did nothing wrong. literally every song is a banger (<- he says that about every album)

The Bifrost Incident, the fourth and final of their proper storyline albums. this one is also one of my favorites. its norse myth, and tells of old lady odin building a train (the ratatosk express) to go through the bifrost to cut travel between planets time from three months to three days. unfortunately, the train, with all high-ranking asgardians on it, doesnt come out the other side. lyfrassir edda my beloved. loki and sigyn are space wives.

now for there other albums !

Tales To Be Told Volumes I and II. these are extra songs that takes place in the setting of the last four albums but weren't part of the storyline, are just extra little stories, or are backstories to the mechanisms themselves.

Death To The Mechanisms. the final album, in which they all die.

so yeah! the mechs are super fuckin' cool. they have lore and stories themselves!!! and its!!!! argh!!!!!!! <333

their mechanisms are what makes them immortal !! they commit So much crime

jonny d'ville - captain first mate - he/him - little feral bastard. he has committed every crime in existence except for the sexual ones - i love him so very much - mechanism is his heart

gunpowder tim - master at arms - he/him - he blew up the moon <3333 king <333 - gender. - his mechanism is his eyes

ashes o'reilly - quartermaster - they/them - woowoo arson !!!!! - mechanism: lungs

the toy soldier - we arent sure what it does but its here - it/its - its just like me fr - mechanism. uhh. ig everything but voice box? idk if it counts because it wasnt mechanized by the doc.... like its still a mechanism but does it Have a mechanism

marius von raum - doctor - he/him - his poor kneecaps... - mechanism: right arm

raphaella la cognizi - science officer - she/her - shes so pretty its unreal. would let her do unethical science on me. - mechanism: wings

ivy alexandria - archivist - she/her - shes the reason i cut and died my hair !! she does the least amnt of crime, i think - mechanism: brain

nastya rasputina - engineer - she/her - QUEEN i miss you so much. shes dating the starship they live in. - mechanism: blood

aurora - the starship they live on !! - she/her - beloved i adore her. shes sentient. - mechanism: she is a starship.

drumbot brian - pilot - he/him - BRIANNNN ILYYYY WHY DON'T YOU SING MORE. why did the mechs leave you melting in a sun for 200 years. - mechanism: everything except his heart

aaand yeah! thats all ive got to say for now :]

I have Castlevania brain rot send help

Ho boy. I have FEELINGS.

Season 4 spoilers and (longwinded) Discourse(TM) below the cut

A happy ending? In MY Castlevanias? It’s more likely than you think. With as grimdark as the series has been I fully expected to have my heart torn out and shat on, so to get an actual satisfying happy ending was a whole lungful of fresh air. Gimme that sweet sweet rush of Everybody Lives Nobody Dies, I need that shit pumped straight into my poor serotonin-starved brain.

What a hell of a season. There was enough material there for at least two seasons (and I would have LOVED to have two seasons, but that’s just because I’m greedy and want more…) and I was skeptical that they could even try to wrap up all those threads..and then they DID IT. Hot damn.

Hot Takes:

In this house we stan Greta and will tolerate no disrespect against our sword-and-hammer wielding queen. I love her, and I love her and Alucard’s dynamic with the deliberate parallels to Dracula and Lisa. I think she’s good for him.

TREVOR AND SYPHA UGH I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH I’m out here crying ugly tears at how much this stinky himbo and tiny nuke love each other ;______; Battle Couple OTP.

I would watch the shit out of an entire season of everybody building the new village and Trevor and Sypha learning how to be parents and Alucard and Greta getting closer and everybody just being HAPPY. This is because I am trash, not because there would actually be any storytelling value in such a thing. Same thing with onscreen kisses between Trevor and Sypha. Is it necessary? No. Doesn’t mean I don’t want it. But hey, that’s what fandom is for, right? I’ll just be over here drawing beetus-inducing fluff and being vaguely disgusted with myself.

Papa Trevor would be so soft. I think my ovaries just exploded.

I 100% expected Trevor to die and leave Sypha grieving and pregnant with the way they teased it in the trailer and the way it would have thematically fit with the rest of the series, and I am SO GLAD he didn’t. I’m tired of sad endings. I really love that he gets to be part of this world of people who know how to build things.

“I love you.” “I know.”

That single flash of Sypha’s face as he’s fading out knowing he’s going to die and being at peace with it, augh my fucking heart. T_T

Horse is secret MVP. That horse knows things.

Isaac confirmed for a) stand user and b) monster fucker. King out here living his best life, you love to see it.

But for reals tho, Isaac’s arc was one of my favorites. Nice fakeout with the conquest line in the trailer. The philosophical discussions on the nature of humans and night creatures, the way he comes to realize that he (and Hector, and by extension his own night creatures) is/are more than a tool to be used in the hands of others, the way he reclaims his own agency and decides he’s going to live...I fucking loved it. (Also paves the way for post-series forgehusbands…)

SO FUCKING HAPPY FOR STRIGA AND MORANA. I was holding my breath expecting them to get horribly killed the entire time and then they just...weren’t. The hot vampire wives got to literally ride off into the sunset (sunrise?) together, in a way that made sense. The General and the Organizer looked at the data on the ground, discussed, and made the calculated decision to stick with what really matters to them, not just Carmilla’s ambitions. More of this, please! Would have loved to see Striga fight more than once, though. Also I would shank a man for Morana’s cape.

Respect for Carmilla for going out on her own terms, even if it did feel a little heavy-handed. The cinematography of her and Isaac’s fight sure as hell made up for it though- that was one of the prettiest fights of the series.

Reunited trio’s fight was the other prettiest fight of the series. Holy fuck, what gorgeous animation.

I actually liked that St Germain’s lady friend never spoke- it reinforced the way that he has mythologized her to the point where she’s not even a person, just an ideal. It was also exactly what he deserved that she turned her back on him in the end. She’s just not that into you, bro.

Varney is a hoot. A greasy, flea-infested slimy hoot. Nice twist, too. Death’s design is *chef kiss*

Loved the themes of moving on and rebuilding and change and how there’s a pretty clear split between the people who are able to adapt and change (and live), and those “relics of the old world” who can’t or won’t. Ratko was criminally underused in this respect. I think there just wasn’t enough time.

Quibbles:

Pacing. I know Castlevania is notorious for uneven pacing, but in this case I think this is on Netflix- they should have been given a full two seasons to wrap this up, just to give things a chance to breathe. As it was, though, I think the writers did the best possible job given the constraints they were under.

Zamfir should have lived to learn the lesson about caring for the people who are still alive, and been the one to take charge of rebuilding Targoviste for the living. Having her die was straight-up pointless in a predictable way.

Did Trevor just straight-up forget he has TWO weapons with range when fighting Ratko? You have like a 30 foot reach what are you doing bro

Lenore is Problematic, and I wish there had been more tension between her and Hector. Like, I know Stockholm Syndrome is a thing, but he’s weirdly chill with her in a way that glosses over just what she did to him. Also I would have liked to see more self-awareness of “Oh, being a pet in a cage really is shitty, no matter how nice the cage. Now I know why what I did to you was wrong” before she dips. Her ending sure was poetic, though.

Wasn’t Trevor’s left arm broken in that last fight? How the heck is he even able to use it at the end? Also damn dude it’s been two weeks you should probably at least have washed those gaping wounds by now. Do you want sepsis? Because that’s how you get sepsis.

Unpopular Opinions:

Look I love Dracula/Lisa as much as the next shipper but “Hey we’re alive again for some reason!!” was totally out of left field. It felt like something out of a fix-it fic and it was just kinda baffling and jarring. Also go see your fucking kid, jfc you two are terrible parents.

Is Lisa just...kinda fine with the fact that Dracula tried to commit genocide in her name and almost killed their son? That must have been an awkward conversation.

I’m actually cool with Alucard spilling his life story to Greta on the march. He’s starving for human interaction, who’s to say he wouldn’t just want to TALK about what he’s been through? It’s treated in a way that’s a bit flippant for my taste, but we’ve seen enough of his trauma onscreen. I want to focus on his healing.

I’m hesitant to kick this particular hornet’s nest, but I really don’t think the ot3 has to be sexual? If it is, it damn well be an ot4 polycule with Greta. I see them more as two couples that are close friends and found family. But that’s the great thing about fandom! Rock on, shippers of all flavors, there’s room enough for everybody.

In Conclusion (jesus fuck how much did I write)

Castlevania pretty

Have you seen my braincell I think I misplaced it

Moar plz

[invicta-carnelia]

A collection of characters from various TTRPGs and roleplays I've done in the last two years. More details below.

First row, left: Faina, a street-rat type raccoon cyberpunk character. Big smart, has the hots for aliens. Her girlfriend is very stronk (and is an alien).

First row, middle: Lucille the kobold. A witch (pathfinder class), slowly becoming an azata through mythic power. A player character belonging to a friend that I drew for him. She owns a tavern in a small town, and is the heart of the community.

First row, right: Zeo the havoc dragon. Lucille's best friend/lover. Her faithful dragon companion who beats the shit out of anything that gets near the two of them in battle.

Second row, left: Ohio the kyubi/dragon. A distant descendant from the kyubi god empress of her planet, Nikki Majima. However, this doesn't make her particularly special, as the empress's polycule is so vast and so long-lasting/active that 90% of the planet is descended from her at this point. A big fan of a future game called 'dragon golf', which includes golf club duels, flaming balls, and real time play with scores impacted by time and number of hits. No slowing down to aim allowed when your opponent is racing towards their ball!

Second row, middle: Colesse the kobold. A bard and cultist of Tiamat. She was turned into a kobold against her will and enslaved by an evil gem dragon, and now holds a grudge against all gem dragons.

Second row, right: Dare the cerberus. Big, strong, and followed around by three wolves, she's the baddest monster slayer in the land.

Third row, left: Nivvy the kitsune (pathfinder race). An oracle class, she specializes in healing, and is damn good at it. Through mythic power she slowly turned into a havoc dragon, and eventually ascended to become the goddess of life for her world.

Third row, middle: Nivvy's dragon form.

Third row, right: Rachel the foxfolk aasimar. Rachel grew up in a family of nobles who practiced illegal dark arts in secret. When she got caught mid-ritual her family claimed she was the only one participating in these dark arts and expelled her from the family. Now she's playing Curse of Strahd. Strahd reminds her of her dad.

Fourth row, left: Ludwig (more details on Jason)

Fourth row, right: Jason (birth name Ludwig). As an infant Jason was kidnapped by the government, and a clone was left behind without their mother knowing. The clone, now believed to be the original Ludwig, was made poorly, and doomed to die from numerous genetic defects. However, his mother refused to let him die, and pulled all of her resources and contacts until she found a solution, and had him fitted with cybernetics that would keep him alive. Years later the deception was discovered, and Jason, now a powerful superhero trained by the government from near-birth, was brought back into the family.

Fifth row, left: Gor the silver dragonborn. A cleric and total booknerd. The player character of someone else in a Curse of Strahd game I'm in.

Fifth row, middle: Trinity the Hydra. Former super-criminal. Now 'reformed'. Brief lived player character in a superhero ttrpg I ran.

Fifth row, right: Misaki the kitsune/kyubi. The first alternate reality character introduced in the Nikki Majima roleplay I frequently do with my friend (Nikki's post is coming soon). Misaki is the alternate reality version of Nikki's wife, Tsunade. She was once the empress of all of Asia, and got too greedy, trying to invade another world and take it for herself. After her defeat she was imprisoned as Nikki's tails just as Tsunade once was until she was reformed, and became another lover of hers. Eventually though, Misaki's evil side sprung up again, and after a horrifying murder she was banished. Later she was rescued by a Nikki from yet another alternate timeline, healed and reformed again, and found her forever home.

Sixth Row: A sketchy comic of Tsunade and Kumiko. Tsunade and Kumiko are two wives of Nikki. Though Kumiko is the oldest there (immortal and 2400 years old), she shirks any responsibility and lets everyone else raise the children, preferring to only be a member of the romantic side of the polycule, not the family side.

Seventh Row, left: Mifune the Kitsune. A master of the katana, and the way of the stalker (pathfinder class), Mifune fought through hoards of undead to retake his ancestral homeland, and harnessed his mythic power to become the ultimate trickster, and eventually became the god of time. Character belongs to @lightfox-labs

Seventh Row, right: Oleaminix the catfolk. Oleaminix was once an important member of the crusade against the undead empire of Nicriaa, but after a difficult strategic choice that cost the crusade a holy relic he was branded as a heretic and banished. Later he harnessed his mythic power and became the god of justice and comeuppance. Character belongs to @iamyourdoubt

Eighth Row, left: Ozymandias the dreamlands cat. Once a regular cat at a circus, a poorly worded genie wish gave him an intelligent mind, the powers of a psion, and set him down a path of mythic power to become the god of bureaucracy and balance (temporarily one of the gods of death as well while the other was... on sabbatical)

Eighth Row, right: Glitter the dragon. Glitter was once a succubus demon, but after being captured by Nick Mason, an alternate version of Nikki Majima who was a man, and grew up in America rather than Japan, she was reformed from her demonic ways and transformed magically into a metallic dragon with the features of gold, bronze, silver, copper, and brass dragons.

Ninth Row, left: Credence Stone/Miss Stone. Once the high priestess of a secretive cult, after losing her position she also lost her name, as it was only granted to her as the high priestess, and she was a nameless slave prior. Now she only answers to Miss Stone.

Tenth Row, right: Kuro. Before being injected with super serum Kuro was a low level yakuza, in the midst of a national crisis as a rogue kyubi slowly melted the country and its infrastructure. He used his newfound power to defeat and imprison her, and make himself the new emperor of Japan, returning it to a stable and orderly state.

Tenth Row, left: Thilnea the Gnoll. Thilnea grew up in fighting pits, slowly learning the savage fighting style of the barbarian. When old enough she was sold as a slave, and now serves an evil noble seeking political power.

Tenth Row, right: Amy the protogen/kyubi. The daughter of Nick Mason and Sterling the Protogen, Amy is sweet as a button, and soft as a cloud.

Eleventh Row, left: Princess Halimor the demon/kitsune. Halimor's claim to royalty is more than questionable. Her country was overtaken by an empire generations ago, and now she serves the same man who killed her great grandparents in exchange for mythic power, which slowly twists her into a demoness, until she met her end at Mifune's blade.

Eleventh Row, right: KnK (Keith, Nelson, Kevin). The hydra husband of Nikki Majima. They originally intended to give all their heads a K name and go by an acronym, but realized that wouldn't work on their third head. You know. For reasons. The three of them adore cars, soccer, and Vegas.

[haveashran]

-Seriously, they play that mpreg episode for laughs cause Trip got pregnant BUT the implications of her having alien marble sex with him without fully informing him and nobody back on the nx-01 taking him seriously because of his reputation as somewhat promiscuous are worrisome to say the LEAST

-FUCK The Cogenitor. Holy FUCK.

- Travis, Hoshi, and T'Pol (please give her a uniform) get more development independent of other characters like Archer and Trip. Just give them something of their own, ya know?

- Malcolm is gay and finally works ot out with Hayes.

- Elizabeth doesn't have to die. I'm not fussed about whether Trip and T'Pol get back together and they would probably make awesome co-parents but at least let Elizabeth live (idk maybe she gets life-saving gene therapy that replaces either her human or vulcan genes or something so Trek can hold onto the concept of Spock being a unique being).

- Shran doesn't get a slapshod shoehorned-in finale storyline. In fact, he joins the nx-01 crew as a special advisor just as originally planned.

- Archer actually makes a meaningful apology to Hoshi for his shitty shitty treatment of her in "Zero Hour".

- More Denobulans please. They mention all that backstory about Phlox's kids, particularly his strained relationship with one particular son, and yet we never get to meet any of them? Plus I wanna see Feezal and Phlox's other wives, and their other husbands, and the whole damn polycule/extended family! Challenge the american nuclear family structure goddammit!

k so i’m probably one of enterprise’s biggest fans but i will be the first to admit that the writers dropped the ball BIG TIME on that one. i mean let’s look at what the show had going for it: great concept, compelling characters and back stories, 4 series and several movies worth of previous canon to pull from, interesting aliens, etc. and what did they do with all those great tools and building blocks? they did…. that. if you’ve seen enterprise you know what i mean. so here’s a list of major things i think the writers should have done differently (spoilers ahead):

- make malcolm reed canonically gay

- THAT FUCKING COGENITOR EPISODE. NO. but honestly i was on board for like almost the whole episode thinking it was going to turn out to be one of my favorites because i expected that when the cogenitor asked for asylum archer would say yes and end up making an enemy out of the whole species but sticking to his decision anyway because it’s the right thing to do. but instead we got… that. so let’s just pretend my version happened instead ok? let’s not think about the real ending

- trip doesn’t die. like what kind of bullshit was that? what purpose did it serve?? shock value right at the end as the series was ending??? no thank you

- reed is actually gay in canon

- more xindi. like, after the whole xindi storyline thing. because 6 sentient species on one planet?? i want to hear more about that. i want to know more about their culture. once everything was resolved and they weren’t the bad guys anymore, i wish we’d gotten to see more of them

- malcolm reed is gay

- t’pol gets a uniform or at least some regular vulcan clothes instead of a catsuit

- lieutenant reed and major hayes are gay and they are dating

- ok i saw a post one time but i can’t find it anymore so if anybody can find it please tell me because they deserve the credit for this idea but instead of zephram cochrane shooting the vulcans when they land (as much as i love that) what if the terran empire in the mirrorverse rises because of xenophobia after the xindi attack? the showed aired only a few short years after 9/11 which triggered a lot of racism/hatred against middle eastern people and muslims or even just people who LOOK like they could be middle eastern or muslim and i know they had that parallel with the xenophobia against phlox even though his people were in no way part of the attack but following that up with having it turn into the terran empire would’ve sent a potent message about where that kind of bigotry and prejudice can lead

- MALCOLM REED IS GAY

feel free to add more
