[kale-of-the-forbidden-cities]

I'VE FOUND IT

and uh correction- Clementine is the name of Ida's counterpart, not the other way around

This is the chaotic world of wiki rp, also known as Universe 2 :)

Zero is nonbinary, they/them and aroace

Dusktan is an incredibly fucked up ship but we're here for it

Fitz went to a mental hospital specifically for people with eating disorders, but she's mostly better now, no longer in the hospital (Kai, N, and Kim are all out too)

Kesler is the best character in this universe (one of the best I can't choose)

Fitz uses she/they pronouns and dated Dex for a while, but then Dex kinda disappeared (as in he stopped showing up, he's still alive just always elsewhere and Fitz and the Dizznees miss him) so they're not dating anymore

Rex is aroace

Alvar's currently the one in a mental hospital (he needs a hug)

Alvar also has a pet tarantula named Diggs

There's more if you're interested

Okay so, first thing you need to know, canon goes out the window. 

First, let’s introduce the main ocs.

Nikita is Alden’s older sister, a lesbian, and was kicked out of the Vacker family.

Zero is a technopath for the Neverseen, is ancient, and friends with Fintan, Alvar, and umber. 

Clementine is a pyrokinetic adopted by Brant and Jolie with an evil counterpart called Idailia. She is best friends with Rex

Dusk is Fintans boyfriend and does lots of arson with him. He is talentless, and joined the Neverseen.

Kai, N, and Kim were at the mental hospital Fitz went to.

Lenora is a conjurer, on all sides (it varies) she’s sort of killed three people (Liora, Ramira, Fitz). Alvar and Fitz hate her. She is friends with Lex, Clementine, and Loki. 

We also have Lyssa, Leigh, Hydrina, Rowan, Ross, Horacio, Kayta, Tish, and many more.

That’s Lesson one. Reply with your questions, and if you want lesson two.🍄

Canon is too flawed, lock the windows

Slay Nikita

Idk what Zero's gender is but I want it

Clementine and Idalia are so swag

Dusk and Fintan <3

(a) Fitz went to a mental hospital??? and (b) oh shit

So many OCs omg

Yes lesson two please

Which KotLC character is most likely to...

[kotlc-fanfiction]

OH ALSO tempted to see what ink’s fic before the night ends would be with a canva cover

before the night ends

Summary: He could go back. Show up at the door again and do their round of apologizing again and lay down in Keefe’s lap again and, maybe, pretend that things were okay until they all broke again—

Tam opened the windows and turned up the radio.

He couldn’t go back. sequel to "scared of the sun": Tam's part of the story, starting from the end.

My thoughts: I...don't think I even have words to describe how beautiful this fic is. The sentences flow like music, like some beautiful kind of melody that immediately draws you in. The incorporation of quotes and poetry between the sections is absolutely gorgeous, and the way the fic flows together as a whole is simply amazing. This author does descriptions incredibly well, with vivid words and perfectly crisp sentences. I think I'll be thinking about this fic forever, honestly. I encourage all of you to go read it.

kotlc sims update !!! we are so back

-

i realized i never sent fintan & bronte on a honeymoon so that was my first priority. (& i got the lovestruck expansion pack (definitely legally) to spice things up…)

well. things did not go as planned. here is a before and after photo of the honeymoon suite ❤️

to recap what happened:

- yay! they are going on vacation :)

- i immediately get this pop up and kind of just sigh and shake my head because why are they like this.

they seriously cannot go more than 2 minutes without insulting each other

- anyway. i realize that i placed the bedside tables in a way that prevented either of them from getting into the bed.

- and since this is a vacation i can’t enter build mode while the event is active. which is a design flaw imo…. you can order additional supplies but you can’t simply move a table…. aughhhh

- i had fintan set the tables on fire in hopes that it’d destroy them but the fire seemed to destroy everything BUT the tables.

- he couldn’t even extinguish the fire properly because it had spread to areas that were blocked by the tables. do you see the problem here

- he calls the fire department, the fireman puts out like 1 square of fire and proceeds to just…. stand there????? 0 stars.

- fintan is enjoying this though. thanks to the arsonist mod. he is laughing while the house burns. bronte has run outside and is now crying.

- the fireman FINALLY puts out all the fire after like 5 minutes and then starts dancing seductively for absolutely no reason????? i didn’t get a picture of this but it was so funny hello why did he start doing that 💀

- anyway. bed is still unusable so they nap in the hot tub 💔💔

- i send them to the spa afterwards because that was a very stressful experience and fintan immediately passes out on the floor

- i ended up ending the vacation early and redoing the whole thing 💀 and it went much better the second time (this happened with the wedding too…. the universe is trying to tell them something fr)

- bed is now useable and i find out that they can cuddle while they sleep now which is. annoyingly cute.

- i say the second attempt went better but they switched their relationship dynamic again.. this game loves to be canonically accurate i suppose

Part 2

[camelspit]

can you explain more of the garwin era i feel like i really missed out

yeah yeah no problem!! im pretty sure it started like. early spring in 2023.

garvar was definetely a key player in the garwin craze im pretty sure. it was a ship (garwin x alvar) created in the star kotlc star server, and it branched out from there. squish made a really good fic, and theres a decent amount of fanart. while it has yet to be written, there was a garvar twilight au, which led to garvar mpreg.

from garvar mpreg came yale ivy-league chang vacker. their daughter. me and others made fanart of her and it was a good time all around. she will never be forgotten o7

then there was the first best keeper character tournament that summer!! it became a bit to vote garwin and try to get him to the final 2 with sophie.

despite all odds (and thanks to many comeback rounds) he makes it to the final 3 with sophie and tam. in a "vote which character to eliminate" poll with them in it, tam is eliminated. garwin has officially beaten tam. in the end he loses to sophie. he will lose to her in every universe, apparently.

while im not as familiar with this one, there was a mystery character bracket where garwin had a few submissions and made it pretty far!!

and the most recent one I think was garwin day, hosted by squish. fun time!!

there is also a garwin rp blog with a few somewhat popular posts

there are probably smaller things im forgetting but!! i think this is essentially the gist of the garwin era. if anyone wants to add on feel free to!

[myfairkatiecat]

Best kotlc character in your opinion???????

Ooh the word “best.” There’s so many directions I could go with that.

So I’m going to define “best” in four ways here:

1. My personal favorite

2. Best written/developed

3. Best person in-universe

We already know the answer to 1. Keefe Sencen. I love him. With all my heart. He’s just so ahdkfhsnwldjsnajshdsa I adore him and you can go check out that post if you want to see my reasons for why he is my favorite

For 2, I’d say either Sophie or Keefe because they’ve been very well developed and I like the way Shannon has handled their characters. We’ve also gotten mostly Sophie’s POV and a little bit of Keefe’s, so it makes sense that they’ve been best developed, but they genuinely are such narrative foils of each other and Shannon has helped them contrast each other so well? I just genuinely love it so much 😭

For 3, I have to go with Edaline Ruewen. That woman has never done anything wrong in her life and I flipping ADORE her. I wish I could know her IRL. Peak trusted adult material. My favorite.

Thanks for the ask :)

[swans-chirping-in-the-distance]

PLEASE READ IF YOU KNOW KOTLC AND PJO

So if I ever write this crossover au, Percy Jackson characters will be Keeper characters. Not ones that already exist; they'll be one of the species and if they're an elf, they'll have their own ability. Same thing with Keeper characters in the Percy Jackson world; they'll have a Godly parent or be a mythological creature.

So option 1:

Keeper characters fight the Titan war/ the war with Gaea and stuff like that..

Pjo characters fight the Neverseen.

And option 2

Keeper characters fight the Neverseen but they're pjo-ified.

Same thing with pjo characters in the Keeper universe.

[kale-of-the-forbidden-cities]

Maple Laurier they sound really interesting are they apart of the neverseen or black swan? If so do they have an important role? Or are the like a teacher at foxfire? :00

Well. It depends on the universe. In Universe 2, they became Gisela's desperate attempt at replacing Keefe after his legacy failed and he died. They were kidnapped and stayed in the Neverseen, where Vespera worked on turning them numb. Gisela wanted them to be numb before a certain time, and Vespera didn't believe it was possible, but she was curious to see if it was.

They ended up forcing Maple to torture their older brother, Hollis, until they went numb and were instructed to kill him. They went through The Thing that Keefe did, and afterwards Luzia (who was the Flasher for the process) and Vespera killed Gisela and decided to take Maple for themselves.

Later, when Maple revealed themself as a Neverseen member (and numb), their ex friend Kai Luül-Ga kissed them, which brought their feelings back. Then they stabbed themself and died.

HOWEVER I do have a version of them in my head where that does not happen to them, because Universe 2 is very separate. So they could be a normal Elvin teen who attends Amanita and has a Tumblr account, occasionally making appearances on Elfblr.

I'm wondering if they would have gotten more votes if I shared this version of them in the oc tournament thing.

the homestuck quadrant system & relationships in KotLC

i am fully aware no one asked for this. WAIT that’s a lie three of you asked for this. @orionhong @the-way-astray @soryasongsaa this post is for you <3 it’s been simmering in my drafts since november and i finally had an excuse to finish, and i hope u guys find it interesting!

so. what exactly is the quadrant system, you may ask? and why is it relevant to kotlc? well, we’ll start with the webcomic homestuck. (oh boy) this comic features an alien species called trolls (based off internet trolls) that have some very fun cultural distinctions, such as a caste system based on blood color and the quadrant system, which is a fun variation of romance that i think could be very fun if we applied it to elves, which don’t have enough cultural differences in my opinion.

homestuck trolls have four type of romance as opposed to one and each has its own specific purpose. 2 of them are necessary for reproduction, and 2 of them are necessary for peace and harmony in society. it’s considered desirable to partake in all four kinds of romance, and there are certain rules around this that i’ll get to later. while KOTLC elves only use the one traditional form of romance, it’s considered desirable to be in a socially-acceptable relationship, an approved match, to help grow the elven species, and have a similar sense of Regulation around romance. telepaths also have cognatedom, a special kind of relationship that adds potential for romantic drama into the mix.

i thought it would be interesting if in an alternate universe, the elves recognized more than one form of romance to distinguish their society even more from that of humans. it’s also just fun to ship characters but with extra nuance and spice. so without further ado, let me explain the four quadrants and speculate which relationships in KOTLC, both canon and otherwise, would be in which quadrant! enjoy this silly little time with me

so!! there are two categories: red romance and black romance. red is associated with positive feelings and black with negative, although it’s a bit more nuanced than that. they’re also divided into Concupiscent (associated but not exclusively linked with sexual attraction and reproduction) and Conciliatory (not associated with reproduction). each of the quadrants is assigned one of the four suits in a deck of cards, hence red and black. here's a convenient chart:

a relationship might not just fall into one quadrant, too. relationships are only meant to use one label at a time (more on this later) but often shift across quadrants or be called one quadrant but have some traits of another.

below, i’ve written descriptions of each romance type and also given suggestions for KOTLC ships that would fall into these categories. feel free to fight with me on my choices if you like.

FLUSHED QUADRANT: MATESPRITSHIP/HEARTS <3 (red, concupiscent)

this quadrant is most similar to regular human romance, and already features in kotlc. there's not a whole lot much more to say here, so let's get into examples.

a good canonical example of this in KOTLC is edaline and grady ruewen being matesprits (the name for this kind of partner). an example of flushed feelings that were mutual but never became a relationship is kenric and oralie. sophie and fitz also had flushed feelings for each other canonically, as do sophie and keefe right now, but i would say in both cases the feelings aren't purely <3. i'll talk more about that soon, though.

other noncanon relationships i would describe as matesprits/flushed crushes are tiergan/prentice and marella/linh.

PALE QUADRANT: MOIRALLEGIANCE/DIAMONDS <> (red, concilliatory)

moirails could be best described in our terms as platonic soulmates/queerplatonic partners. that being said, while it doesn't involve kissing or sexual attraction, it IS a type of romance and is distinct from an average friendship. moirallegiance is actually WILDLY similar to the concept of Cognatedom in KOTLC, which is what inspired this behemoth of a post in the first place.

(furthermore, this is why posts implying that cognates are always romantic rub me the wrong way. there are plenty of forms of closeness that aren't traditional romance/flushed).

like cognates, moirails aren't just soul besties, but they're balancing forces that complement each other and keep each other grounded. these relationships hinge on sharing feelings, mutual acceptance, giving advice, and bringing the other person down to earth.

this makes alden and quinlin a good canonical example of ex-moirails. a non-cognate relationship in KOTLC that resembles moirallegiance is that between keefe and dex: they have similar personalities, share secrets, and are able to help each other even when their other relationships are on the rocks.

while sophie and fitz obviously had flushed feelings for each other, their cognate relationship most closely resembles a moirallegiance. they're a pretty good representation of quadrant vacillation, going from close friends and cognates to dating to back to close friends (although their friendship is still recovering from that).

also, while sophie and keefe have flushed feelings for each other, they would actually make really good moirails. they repeatedly have "feelings jams" where they share their worries and trauma with each other (not to say that matesprits can't do this, it's just specifically associated with moirallegiance) like the sleepover scene in neverseen. they're able to see who each other are under their own individual masks, and have well-complementing personalities that bring each other back down to earth. sophie is impulsive but good at connecting with others while keefe thinks things through but makes decisions without consulting other people.

PITCH QUADRANT: KISMESISSITUDE/SPADES <3< (black, concupiscent)

this is where we start to get a bit confusing. pitch relationships are based on hatred, frustration, and annoyance, but just like moirallegiance isn't just an average friendship, kismesissitude isn't your average hatred. there is also an element of attraction and in homestuck is one of the two reproduction-based quadrants.

a kismesis, one's pitch partner, must be someone that not only annoys and angers you but also indirectly challenges you to grow and recognize your own flaws. a kismesis is someone you hate, but grudgingly respect, but also find attractive. basically, it's a very strong arch-rivalry. and while a kismesis is intrinsically hate-based, they’re supposed to cause more or less equal trouble for each other and not actually wish to kill or permanently disable the other. if one or both wants this, or there is a power dynamic where one is harming the other much more, then it’s not a healthy kismesis.

obviously, these feelings aren't really recognized in human or canonical elf society, but if they were i think keefe and tam would make a good kismesis pair. they have outwardly clashing personalities and abilities, but are actually very similar people with a lot of chemistry who just present in different ways. they are at odds for most of their interactions but do show trust and care.

some even better kismesis pairs could be sophie/stina, marella/stina, or even dex/stina. tbh this is just telling me that stina is really good as kismesissitude. home girl just loves hatred i guess. maruca/biana is also a plausible one. you could even do vespera/fintan. go crazy lol

a good example of unrequited pitch feelings is dex’s hate obsession with fitz in the first couple books. in recent material, keefe/fitz could be on their way to a pitch relationship after spending most of their lives in an either pale or platonic situation, but i digress.

ASHEN QUADRANT: AUSPITICISM/CLUBS c3< (black, conciliatory)

this is definitely the weirdest one and is the least defined within the text of homestuck itself, but it means we can also have some fun with it. in homestuck, the ashen quadrant is mostly used for the purpose of mediating two opposing people so they don’t fall into the pitch quadrant. it’s a weird three-way situation involving the conflicting pair and the auspistice, who would be the one having ashen feelings. these feelings might be expressed through an attitude of “god these two are idiots but they’re My idiots damn it and i need to make sure they don’t cause problems.”

two important things to note here: 1) you are only meant to have one person in each of your four quadrants at any given time. 2) while you can shift quadrants, your relationship with someone is only meant to have one of these labels at a time. homestuck trolls are very aggressive and develop feelings of dislike quite easily, so auspistices are needed to prevent people from cheating / getting into romantic fights with people who aren’t their kismesis. while elves aren’t as aggressive, this still could be a problem. for example, if tam and keefe were an established kismesis pair, but keefe and fitz started fighting in a way that could turn into hatred, sophie might be called to be an auspistice for them and make sure their fighting doesn’t turn pitch (in which case keefe would be cheating).

assuming keefe and sophie are matesprits, this also poses a problem for their relationship since sophie is acting as keefe’s auspistice and not his matesprit. It’s a lot.

auspisticism can also be a generalized way of describing relationship mediation. sophie, fitz, and keefe probably need some auspisticizing for all the quadrant shifting they’re doing.

this kind of feeling may be hard to recognize as romantic because of all the utilitarianism surrounding it. think of it as being a very dedicated therapist friend, or part of a very stressful polycule. it requires a Hell of a lot of devotion for two people for their friend to get involved in all that conflict, a devotion which can very much be romantic. I imagine sophie having a high capacity/desire to be an auspistice, as would biana.

that’s the main chunk of the explanation, and there’s a lot to play with here. beyond what i described, you can also get things like two people rapid-firing between flushed and pitch and back to flushed, to people who have feelings for each other but not the same kind, to messy groups of 3, 4, or even more people where relationship types are constantly shifting. conflict in one quadrant can also impact your relationships with all other partners. for example, when alden and quinlin’s cognatedom/moirallegiance fell apart, it could have put stress on quinlin’s matespritship with livvy to the point where the flushed feelings between them are either gone or turned into unhealthy kismesissitude depending on how you look at it.

still confused? that’s okay, you’re kind of meant to be. andrew hussie is a fucking mad lad who doesn’t even take their own story seriously. that being said he did give us the bare ideas for some cool and complex relationship dynamics and a new way of seeing romance, so i’ll give them that.

but anyways, have fun with this!! i would LOVE to see your homestuck-based HCs if you happen to come up with any. a couple more kotlc/homestuck related notes before you go:

- sophie foster is a valid troll name (6 letter first and last name) as is gisela sencen. i couldn’t find any others, which is weird considering the amount of characters.

- trolls have varying powers depending on their blood color, not unlike special abilities.

that’s all folks! have a spectacular day and i hope you learned something cool!

Hi, can you make cover art for Biana's POV? If not that's fine. Though since I'm currently as of 7/11/24 still writing it though I can try to finish to do it today, it may be a while before I respond. (On a side note: I have your backdrop picture on my wall)

Also the charachters who are going to be in it are Sophie and Dex lying down with their Level 2 uniforms;Keefe leaning down with his Level Four uniform to Dex going to pick him up and Fitz doing the same thing but with Sophie. Biana is facing the camera holding her Imparter.

Hello!!

I'm so flattered that you like my art and I am so grateful you thought of me to be your cover artist but unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it ;_; It has been a while since I have done any kotlc artworks since I've been super busy with university ToT

P.S: I'd love to see a picture of my art on your wall because I'm honestly so excited to see someone love my art so much!! (Again, thank you for all the love<3)

[kotlc-fanfiction]

very curious as to what this would look like so. our finite eternity by me (spellboundfire) on ao3?

our finite eternity - spellbound fire

Summary: Tam Song has guarded his heart against the world, set on never letting himself getting hurt again. Keefe Sencen is the one he dislikes the most—and also the one who might just break through his walls.

A tale of two boys falling faster and harder, despite every warning that says they shouldn’t.

My thoughts: A beautiful fic! For any Kam lovers and/or people who like sweet high school romances, this fic is definitely the fic for you. I love how this author ties in comedic elements with the angst, and the characterizations for everyone are absolutely amazing. Even though the fic is, of course, focused on Keefe and Tam, their friends and family are developed equally beautifully to the two main characters. All in all, this fic is truly amazing and I encourage y'all to read it!

🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

1: sokeefe 😭 i’m sorryyy but i just don’t really like keefe and i don’t think he’s a good match for sophie. if he develops as a character more and stops betraying sophie’s trust then MAYBE i’ll reconsider

also don’t really understand the recent hype around solinh and lava cake….. personally i just don’t see any chemistry between them and i think they’re definitely better off as friends

2. hmmm maybe dex? 💀 he’s not a pure innocent cinnamon roll y’all he can be a real dick sometimes. and he would definitely kill someone.

also oralie…. some of the stuff she did (or DIDN’T do) was a bit fucked up if you take everything into consideration

3. probably that. i don’t like keefe. LMAO. and not for reasons like “i ship sophitz” or “he’s a bad person” or “he should just get over his trauma,” but because i simply find him annoying 👍 like. that is the worst thing a character can be in my opinion because it actually affects me in a negative way 😭 i’m sure if i was in the kotlc universe we would end up being friends but reading about him is just. ughhh (also some keefe stans get on my nerves SO much. which isn’t fair to hold against him but too bad)

also almost everything that happened in stellarlune felt unnecessary and so much more actual plot stuff could’ve happened if a lot of it was cut down. we did not need all of that.

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

Please keep in mind that I don't know all the media and fandoms of the animatics provided as examples and I don't have the time (nor the will) to research them all. Don't come into my notes or my ask box complaining about them being included, I will simply block you. If a ship animatic included is about an adult and a minor, do tell me and I'll take it out of the post

ALSO keep in mind that I don't know all the artists submitted; in fact, even if I do know them I do not know absolutely nothing about them as people (I do not have twitter nor tiktok) and I could not POSSIBLY have the time to research ALL of the artists' controversies and what came of them so PLEASE don't flood my inbox with the artists' entire crime list.
