[worrynoodle]

If my girl got turned into a worm I'd find the witch that cursed her and ask her to turn me too. We'll be worms together babe, don't worry about it.

Reddit with those worm hot takes.

I ADORE your pain-sharing au and I love Wild so lemme cook

What if they're just chilling and then BAM memory. Wild gets hurt in that memory and they all feel it. Or- they have bad bad BAD brain fog for the rest of the day and Wild's just like "This is my day-to-day y'all". OR MY FAVORITE ONE, they see the memory as well and then sadness and pain and YIPPPEEE

Another idea is that post-TOTK Wild gets phantom pains and it's not bad (FOR HIM BC HE'S USED TO IT) while the rest of the chain is writhing in agony. He takes care of them for the duration of the pain and then a few days later Time corners him and is like "Next time you get those phantom pains, whether or not the curse is still around, you're sitting your ass down." ANYWAYS you don't have to use these its just my brain rot worms wormin' around in my pea sized brain

I do have a lot of ideas for wild pain sharing au content in the comic 🤭

The wild's memories thing have been a subject being discussed in the blog since the au was first created, so trust me that something with them will eventually happen ;)

His Majesty the Worm

its wormin' time Genre: Dark(?) Fantasy, Dungeon Crawler, OSR

Touchstones: Classic TTRPGs, Dungeon Meshi

What is this game?: His Majesty the Worm is a Tarot-Based game that aims to take all the boring parts of OSR and make them into goofy and fun features

How's the gameplay?: Hoo boy, this is gonna be a dense one His Majesty the Worm takes on a Maximalist approach to game design, with many sub-mechanics affecting your overall performance, the core game's mechanic is using Tarot instead of Dice for randomization, while a Tarot deck (w/ minor arcana) is recommended, the game is designed so a standard 52 card deck could also work, albeit not recommended. Whenever a character needs to do something a TEST OF FATE starts, characters have stats based on the Arcana's suits, Wands, Pentacles, Cups, and Swords, and whenever a TEST OF FATE starts, they draw a card from the Minor Arcana deck, then add that stat to the number they drew (Face cards are 11-14, Fool is a 0). Characters have a choice between 4 paths (also corresponding to the Suits in a minor arcana deck), a Kith (species), and a Motif (a quick sum up for your character), if I wanted to play a crotchety wizard asshole I would play a Path of Wands character with the Motif "Grumpy Scholar" and the Kith Underfolk, since my wizard is a halfling. The game is split between two distinct phases, Crawling and Citying, The crawling phase is going into the megadungeon and looking around for loot, while the City phase is going into town and buying shit! This game really focuses down on the minor, mundane parts of adventuring, Food management, Managing what you're currently holding, Torch supplying, Equipment Upkeep, and Weight management are all vital parts of a character, this might sound boring, and in any other game it'd be! BUT his Majesty the Worm is built entirely around these granular, seemingly inconsequential mechanics, they feel warranted and fun. The game also has an in-depth Guild building mechanic, after paying the 50% tax that all adventurers must pay to enter town, you gotta use up all that gold from dungeons somewhere! and the best place to put it in is equipment, but second place is helping out your community by starting an adventurer's guild! By investing your hard earned gold into your community you can build many things! like Taverns, Unflattering statues of your rival guildmasters, Monasteries, and other such fun things! This isn't even getting into things like Sorcery and Alchemy and how those end up mattering, Status effects, Language management being a part of gameplay… His Majesty is a maximalist game in every way, but it knows how to blend all of its strange and seemingly menial mechanics to make a very fun experience, it takes some of the most unfun games in the market and goes "Ok but what if it worked?"

What's the setting (If any) like?: Uhhhh, there's a setting alright! It shows up in bits and pieces of flavor text and the like, but there doesn't seem to be a setting guide or anything, the setting is fairly malleable, but a general dark fantasy vibe is the norm, the game explicitly says its not supposed to have a set in bedrock setting

What's the tone?: Goofy Dark Fantasy, its a grim world, but its also silly and pokes fun at tropes of the genre as well as just has copious amounts of poop jokes, its not a game to be taken seriously tonally speaking

Session length: 4 hours minimum, this is a complex game

Number of Players: 5 is my recommendation, 1 gm and 1 player of each path

Malleability: Very malleable! its an explicit design goal!

Resources: The game's website has many resources available, including an online tarot deck, player sheets, and a guild sheet

I really didn't think I'd like this game that much! it's an extremely well made and well thought out look at the OSR genre, if we keep getting OSR game I hope they look more like His Majesty

What mythical creatures would the 141 be? I’m not talking about the standard kind of creatures like werewolves, and vampires. Something more creative if you get what I mean.

oooo anon o_O you’re getting the worms WORMIN (if we want to expand more on this headcanons, just let me know u3u)

ghost just gives wraith vibes, all wispy and decrepit in appearance and showing up before/after creatures in the realm die. it’s not as though he was a villain by any means—in fact, he was rather comforting to the creatures he encountered before and after their passing, petting the soft fur of a fawn about to pass in the cold dead of winter or comforting the soul of a young boy who passed from a sickness he just couldn’t shake. it wasn’t his fault that his existence revolved around death, because without ghost, who would comfort and guide pretty little creatures like you between existential planes?

soap would be a kelpie, which is a creature from scottish folklore that lives in the water and entices humans to their demise. most of the time, soap would remain in his horse-like appearance, a murky grey horse with swirls of sea green spots dotting along his hind legs. but when he sees a pretty little thing like you walking along the water's edge, sandals in one hand and your fingers skimming the water surface, he wouldn't be able to help but shift into his human-like form, all thick bulging muscle and bits of seaweed lodged in his dark mousy hair. and who were you to turn down a late night swim with a beautiful looking man like soap? even if you've heard all the stories of people going to the lake-edge and never returning.

price just screams dragon. like that man exudes dragon energy, thick muscled body rippling with shimmering gold scales that extend down his forearms and to the white claws of his nails. he’d definitely occupy an old, crumbling castle, spending his days flying around the sprawling towers and rumbling hills on the castle estate, keeping knights and bandits alike from breaking into his home and taking what’s his (even if that includes the pretty little prince/princess held captive in the tallest tower).

gaz would be a griffin to me, seen as a symbol of resilience, bravery, power, and prestige. the body of a lion and the expansive wings of an eagle paired with sharp talons and a feathery head. he would be the prize pet of some noble old king, who tasked him with protecting the kingdom from outsiders and intruders hellbent on bringing down the monarchy as gaz knows it. he’d be fiercely loyal, ready at beck and call to rip creatures to shreds if it meant getting the praise and recognition he deserved. maybe one day, if he works hard enough, he’ll get a pretty little thing to call his own.

Okay then! Hebrew letter pronunviation guide!

Aleph - /'a.lef/, first syllable is "ah" as in (british) "arm", second syllable like the word "left" without the t at the end.

Bed - /bet/, like "bed" but with a "t" instead of "d"

Gimel - /'gi.mel/, "gi" as in "gift", "mel" as in "melody"

Dalet - /'da.let/, like the doctor who "dalek" with a "t" instead of "k"

He - /he(j)/, like "heh" or "hey"

Zayin - /'za.(j)in/, like british "zar" (silent r) + "yin" (as in yin-yang) or "in"

Chet - /χet/, like "let" but with an initial throaty consonant, like the dutch pronounciation of "van gogh". if you can't pronounce it a "h" is good enough, so "het" like "cis-het"

Nun - /nun/, the vowel is "oo" like "foot", sandwitched between 2 "n" sounds

Mem - /mem/, like the first syllable of "memory"

Samech - /'sa.meχ/, first syllable is "sar" as british "sardin" (silent r) + "mech" as in big robot suit. the last "ch" is the throaty consonant like chet, but if you can't, "k" is good enough

Shin - /ʃin/, like english "shin"

Tav - /tav, taf/, like british "tar" (silent r) and ends with a "v" or "f" sound

and I think that's all the relevant letters, at least according to the worm wiki. if you have more questions feel free to ask!

All this arguing about how Marquis should be pronounced, meanwhile I'm forced to constantly hear Parahumans podcasts mispronounce Hebrew letters.

Oh? What's that, tensions are high with Earth CHEAT? What does CHITE want? It's too bad the sealed off Earth UH-LEFF, we could use their help!

Becoming Big Brother (Izuku Edition)

Because this idea has been wormin' it's way through my mind lately

Oh boy oh boy is Izuku excited! The complete opposite reaction of Katsuki's.

Mama Inko tells him after his father's last visit that she was pregnant. It felt like he was getting a present! A sibling to fill the empty spot that Papa Hisashi left.

Once you're born, the Midoriya family is complete.

The three of you become a tight knit trio.

Izuku is a great help and takes his role as big brother seriously. He teaches you all about All Might even as you stare blankly at him with big, dark eyes.

Inko originally planned to have your crib in her room, but Izuku told her it was okay. He didn't mind sharing his room with his sister

Forgets how small he still is when he tries to attend to your fussing at night. When he realized he wasn't strong enough to safely get you out, Izuku climbs over and curls up next to you in the crib

He'll coo softly things about his favorite hero to get you to quiet down. It becomes your favorite lullaby.

"When will she start talking?" "Do you think she'll walk any time soon?" "Why is it taking her so long to grow?" The questions were incessant. Inko was patient, happy that her son was a doting brother.

However, he doesn't like it when you take his crayons and put them in your drooly mouth.

After school, Inko would bundle you up and bring you along when she went to pick Izuku up at the local preschool. Izuku would always tell his friends and teachers "That's my baby sister!" "Isn't she cute?"

He nearly starts to sob when you take your first steps. How you coast along the couch, gripping the cushions for support with your small fingers. Your other hand reaches out toward the tv. Toward All Might.

Helps you get through the dreaded teething pains as new teeth break through your gums.

Inko watches with a warm heart as Izuku offers you a frozen peach slice that always comfort you during your teething. Your's and Izuku's futures looked like they would be a beautiful one. She felt lucky that both of her children will look after one another. No doubt once you get older you'll want to care for Izuku too

Making the machine talk, literally this time.

In a crazy stroke of luck, I caught someone listing an ERD/WORM for a reasonable price. It's been a dream of mine to have once, since it ticks all the boxes for me with the vocal timbres and ability to make it glitch out.

This was a simple messing around session, so the backing beat and synth parts are pretty straightforward, but Worm is the real star of the show here. I'm sequencing it with Traffic and performing with Traffic's switches to create different phrases in the song. It covers so much territory! Before this recording, too, I was getting so many interesting sounds, from granular stutters to looped words/phrases to even choral sounds. This one's a keeper!

my favorite part of dune 2 was when paul atreides said “IT’S WORMIN TIME” and sandwormed all over the place
