You think all DR characters would be fine with their S/O smoking weed? Even Taka? I imagine he’d start LOSIN it. Not a request, mb

Okay, so I know that there are several instances where characters could have different thoughts on it, but... honestly, I think Taka would be one of those kids raised on DARE who just changes his opinion when more info is available to him, haha. I mean he wouldn't do it himself but, he'd educate himself. He seems like the type of guy who tries not to judge without reason to me! But mostly, I meant it as a blanket tolerance/acceptance statement lol. -Mod Celeste

[temper-temper]

What is Celeste's favorite adventure that she's been on?

I’m sure she is bias towards the adventures she’s had with Fell (of @flashtheponyofwind) But she also loves to remember sailing around the world as an apprentice navigator

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

Probably because the main takeaway people get from Survivor is how much agony the villains can be subjected to by the Anons.

Not to mention Kuripa and how he deals with villains also meant that when it came to assigning jobs to the various Mods/Important Anons in the Afterlife, you got to be the Punisher.

I mean I find it funny that I’m supposed to be in charge of food and drinks, because while I haven’t deeply explored RA’s powers, one of them is the ability to possess people but it comes with drawbacks. One of them being due to being dead, RA can forget about basic biological functions so she ends up accidentally neglecting those she is possessing. Breathing is something bodies do automatically but it’s common for her to forgo sleep, drink and sleep.

But look at it two ways. Firstly you aren’t torturing people on your own as I’m sure you have Rpg Anon as your torture assistant, and this means any villains/antagonists you hate will fear the ever mighty out of you.

//Zetsubou are mainly symbolic of the idea that some people are just rotten and CAN’T change. It’s a sad reality, but that’s why they’re so important as villains due to what they represent.

//Tsumugi and Celeste are the two prime examples of this. Tsumugi was transported to another world where her fiction was reality, and Celeste was given a second life after her death in the killing game.

//They both got given a second chance to live their lives and do better. But they both chose not to take it. And the same can be said for most of Zetsubou’s ranks.

//Also, as important as he is to the story, and even though he has often proven to be right in some regards, there are two things to note about Kuripa:

Kuripa does believe in redemption. It’s only the worst kinds of criminals, LIKE Zetsubou, who he knows have refused to turn over a new leaf in favor of being evil, that he puts to the slaughter.

It is repeatedly enforced throughout Survivor that Kuripa’s actions are NOT CORRECT, regardless of the justification behind it. At the end of the day, his vigilante actions make him just as much of a monster as the people he puts to the chopping board, as seen through his crazy outbursts. He himself is not a sympathetic character either, especially since his way of showing affection is acting like an ass.

//And yeah, for emphasis on the point, abusing Zetsubou is something I just let my anons do, not something I actively encourage. Sometimes I even don’t answer asks about it because at this point, I’m so burned out by it.

//Above all else, I just value people expressing themselves and doing and asking what they want to do, as long as it’s within reason and doesn’t cross any notable lines such as hurting people IRL.

//Which is more than I can say for some people.

[favretheundead]

celeste difficulty is silly. the main game is hard; and the mods get ridiculous

there are 7 primary difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, grandmaster, virtuoso, and celestial.

base game ranges from low beginner to high intermediate, so you know the higher difficulties get effed.

representative maps for each difficulty:

beginner - summit a-side, from vanilla. if you know anything about Celeste, you know it's a hard game, and it only get's harder from here on out.

intermediate - farewell, also from vanilla. most people, upon being told that 9a is intermediate, ask how. the answer is there's so much room for difficulty not explored in vanilla.

advanced - glyph, a modded campaign of low advanced difficulty. advanced takes the mechanics in vanilla, and takes them to new levels.

expert - monika's d-sides, a modded campaign based on the vanilla levels, but much harder. expert is precise (but there is still a significant amount of leniency left) i reccomend getting this good.

grandmaster - glyph d-side is a good introduction to the difficulty; vivid abyss is a good representation of the difficulty (be warned, vivid abyss's moon berry is virtuoso difficulty) grandmaster can be a time investment

virtuoso - this is where things get mad. Darkmoon ruins is a good introduction to the difficulty (DMR has six checkpoints: three expert, two grandmaster, and one virtuoso); more representative maps are Mauve and MOCE // CPCL

celestial - this difficulty has two good maps: avian ascension and MOCE // LXVI. just watch a clear of LXVI. it's insane

Hey there, gonna hit you with lots of questions at once.

Are you part of any other fandoms?

What kind of games do you play mostly? Names or genre, whichever you prefer.

Which Zelda game got you into the franchise? Or well was your first? And was that long ago or recently?

And do you watch anime? If so which?

Apologies if you already answered any of these before. I'm just curious and maybe others are too. Please don't feel pressured to answer them soon or at all.

Have a nice day/evening!

:0c well I'm happy to answer them for you <3

I'm not really active in any, the closest one would be destiny but I stopped posting for that a while back. Fandoms can be pretty intimidating to me and zelda is where I feel comfortable tbh

I really like indie games generally but the genres vary a lot, Celeste and stardew are huge comfort games for me but I have a lot of others too. I'll drop some names in the tags as recommendations - they're all pretty affordable and are value tbh (celese and stardew especially with how many mods there are)

I don't actually remember a time where I didn't love the games?? My dad was into them way before I was born and I guess it got passed on dfvdsvfc I think the first one I played myself was Twilight Princess? either that or oot and that would have been about 13/14 years ago now?

not really, I used to but now I tend to watch youtube instead - komi can't communicate is the only one I really watch anymore cause she kinda reminds me of myself at times (I do have some comfort animes that I won't share though)

and no I don't think I've answered any of them, least not on tumblr :3c it was a fun little QnA though - so thank you for it!!!

[corviknight-appreciator]

Hello rotomblr!

You can call me Persephone. I use she/her.

I’ve been lurking for a bit, and was recently convinced to make an account by the local weatherboy since I’m the only one whose internet connects to other dimensions, apparently.

I’m from another world. I reserve the right to not answer questions about this depending on what they are.

I might post pictures of my team, if I feel like it and they do something particularly cute

Please do not send me pictures of fire or open flames. This is a hard boundary.

Icon from the game Coronet

Sometimes one of my rivals posts on here, because he can also access multiversal internet when basically no one else can. He uses purple.

[OOC info below, updated 4/8]

OOC: mun uses they/it. This blog takes place after the main game (update 2/22 now postgame too!) of Shield. Persephone has been isekai’d from another media, but that’s not her actual name. She likes her internet anonymity for a few reasons! The icon for this blog is from Celeste, which I hc in the pokemon world is called Coronet.

I am going to be sporadic for a bit! In universe let’s blame this on the gym challenge, but I have some irl responsibilities. I’ll try my best to interact though.

Generally up for interactions, but might stay away from high-stakes pokereality stuff on account of “I think I’d prefer any high-stakes stuff on the pokeblog to be local to Persephone’s current dimension”.

She will treat sentient pokemon, hybrids, and eebydeebys completely normally. This does not register to her as potentially weird at all. So feel free to interact with those accounts!

Pelipper Mail is on (with ooc limits on what I’ll accept, but feel free to be menacing if you want). Musharna Mail is OFF for the duration of the “dream goes on” arc. Magic anons inactive.

If you think you know Persephone’s deal, or would like to know it, feel free to dm me about it because she definitely isn’t going to tell you if she can avoid it.

Please tell me if you’d like anything tagged!

Mod and muse are both adults, but no nsfw anyways please.

Ooc tags are: pokemon irl, rotomblr, pokeblogging, anything for blacklist so it’s easier for people to track, arc tags (“dream goes on”, “back in the future”, “balcony horse arc” (which I started on a whim oops), and muse mixup madness tags/the tags I decided on for if I bring the AU Persephones back for events, etc. if it doesn’t look like someone rambling in tags it probably is ooc) and //anything that starts with two slashes like this

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?

[oc emoji asks]

you didn't specify anyone in particular so I'll just go with the one on my brain at all times which is Celeste

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "fight" or "flight"?

out of those two, it's probably a toss up depending on the situation. he's really not much of a fighter so before this last adventure the answer probably would have been flight, but... we learned under the streets of Waterdeep last sesh that if people he cares about are in danger, Celeste will charge headlong into a fight regardless of how scared he is (very). so he's getting more toward the "fight" end of the spectrum.

but a lot of the time I'd also say his response is "freeze" which is something he's going to try and work on. buddy has to make a lot of wisdom saving throws in or after combat sometimes which is not ideal when his wisdom mod is only +1

[puppetchamber]

@eliias-bouchard

to answer your Qs

I have legitimately only modded one other game in my life and it was freelancer(3d space sim) like 10-15 years ago. I actually wanted to shove Celeste into rain world for the lols but that looked significantly(ha!) harder to do anything more complex than re-texture artificer using texture mods.

Lonn(celeste mapping) + Everest(modding) are excellent for celeste. RW does not have anything that good. Not really a coder. I can do a little if the documentation is good.

--------------------------------

textures:

I actually did not rip anything other than color scheme and that was eyedroppered from those screen shots taken from the big RW mapping project. all those sprites are handmade. they are extremely eyeballed. but They are not traced/ripped, plus I wanted them to feel more like they fit in celeste-world. If I just straight ripped them wouldn't be quite as fun and would have been a lot more of a pain to deal with.

I do use the 0x0ade layouts because it's easier to wrap my brain around. this is one of the girder textures.

how everything is laid out: https://github.com/EverestAPI/Resources/wiki/Custom-Tilesets

for that white bg there's actually two sets of six sheets like this(one dark white and the other cave white) to create that bg,

there's 7 for the foreground legit same tilesets recolored for each.

----------

anyway Celeste uses 2 layers for sprites, technically, theoretically. in practice you can use decals which are just non collision textures so in theory its 4+ because you can stack decals on top of each other and move them off grid by CTRL-drag

1.foreground decal

2. foreground block(what celeste walks on)

3. background decal

4. background block(behind celeste)

there's also the styleground(2d parallax skyboxy-like thing) behind everything which have layers too but frankly I've messed around a little and the little doccumentation I've read is not super clear. luckily rw doesn't exactly have extreme backgrounds except for like 2 rooms in wall and a couple in outer expanse.

----------------------

Not sure what you mean by slime unless you mean the little dangly dead plant things or the ripples on the storage tank texture that one's a little off still. needs some work.

Or the particles emitted by the Squidcada(retextured jellyfish) that I have no idea how to remove.

but seriously I have like less than 10 hours experience modding this game, but I'm having a blast figuring out stuff.

I have learned two things.

one. celeste's engine adds these weird black outlines to object sprites

two: mapmaking for this game is hard when you still haven't beaten farewell and don't know how many tiles a dash is long by anything other than instinct.

[moonsinkfoxgirl]

Woe, prime numbers be upon thee

2) Do you like playing with mods?

Not usually no, but rn I'm playing Wind Waker with that really cute girl link mod, which is the only good method of playing that game and I will never play a Zelda game ever again without.

3) Do you like to get 100% achievements?

When a game is good then that's a lot of fun, so yes, but depending on how much work it is I will also often just not^^

5) Games you’ve played in the past 12 months that you really enjoyed?

Oh that's one hell of a long period...in no particular order, favorites in bold:

Nier Automata; 20 Minutes till Dawn; Merchant of the Skies; Maiden & Spell; Rusted Moss; Timberborn; Journey; Hades; Ikenfell; Yomawari, Shinyomawari; Helen's Mysterious Castle; Spiritfarer; Lost Ruins; Celeste; Summon Night - Swordcraft Story 2; Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura Eternal Heart; The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker HD; Touhou - Embodiment of Scarlet Devil; Minoria; Dark Souls; Gris

Probably not a complete list (this is way too hard to assemble, and also doesn't include VNs which would like double it.

7) A series you’ve lost interest in?

already answered^^

11) A game location you really like

The second floor of Helen's Mysterious Castle is really nice^^

13) A series you’ve enjoyed since your early days of gaming and still enjoy to this day whether it still has games coming out or is one you return to?

Already answered as number 14 by mistake lol, the prime numbers have truly gone out of control

17) Pick a series you like. What was the first game you played for it? Was it a good starting point? Would it still be a good starting point now?

uhhh, I started playing Yomawari with the first game and while the second had a much gayer story the first one was more fun to 100%, and it definitely was a good starting point^^

19) A game you didn’t finish but would like to get back to or restart someday

Spiritfarer, I tried it twice now but the game starts becoming a slog with so much less interesting characters and soooooo much more busywork midway through it's kind of very difficult. (at least it's a lot of busywork for people with my kind of must do as much as possible autism)

23) A game ending that’s really stuck with you

The way the sense of achievement resonates with its story just burned Celeste's ending into my brain despite the fact that arguably not much happens in it.

29) Mario or Sonic?

Never played a sonic game, so Mario^^

31) On average do you have one game or multiple games going?

Kind of multiple, I often have one I play myself, while there's one I stream for my gf, plus some others on-hold.

37) Speedruns?

Fun to watch sometimes, not fun to play. Also much prefer like challenge runs that aren't speed based? They're usually more interesting in the ways they break games.

41) Best game currently on the market?

What does this mean 'currently'? Steam sells most games all the time. And what they don't (or even if depending) you buy for the price of waving a pirate flag.

In any case it's Celeste^^ As for games that came out this year it's Rusted Moss^^

43) Favorite cosplayer?

The only connection I have to cosplay is that I could imagine going to an anime convention in a maid outfit if I had some guy or butch lesbian I trust to come with as a body guard.

47) Most tragic gaming death?

Shinyomawari ;_;

53) Do you like dialog options in games?

If they're well made, sure^^ If they're ''we are giving you morality points for not being a caricature of evil'' then uh no.

[righteousness-and-tea]

Not really a request, but what do you think would be mikan's reaction to me just showing up and giving her a cupcake?

I think she'd probably react very strongly-- it's likely she doesn't receive acts of kindness very often! Probably something along the lines of "For me? Are you sure?" And plenty of gracious thank yous. Please, give her many cupcakes. -Mod Celeste

[temper-temper]

How would Jetstream and her S/O handle being parents in the first year of their daughter being born?

I feel like Merlin would be over the moon but nervous while Jetstream would try to be calm and collected... until her hormones get the better of her and she gets snappy with her husband. It's okay thought Merlin totally understands. Celeste is a pretty chill baby though so after the first few months I feel everyone would settle into a routine... until Celeste is old enough to go sailing and leave them for a few years.

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

As one of the anons who is starchly “I don’t like Kuripa”, i think it’s kinda stupid. Celeste is one of my favorite characters. Look at all the shit she gets, I have had to watch her get threatened with murder, pantsed and violated. It isn’t fair.

Mod this is ABSOLUTELY not shitting on you for how you’ve handled it. I’m just annoyed that I can come on here and watch a character I genuinely like be harassed and tortured, but saying ANYTHING that’s far less than the shit she gets put through regularly is apparently not alright.

//I agree, but that's exactly why I'm stopping it all, even if it is truly valid.

//I would rather block off all asks than let discord run rampant over something so blitheringly stupid and pointless. In fact, this is the last ask I'm going to answer on it, I will be deleting any after this.

🎮🎧

Ask the mun stuff- accepting

🎧 — do you write while listening to music/podcasts/videos/etc, or do you need total silence?

I definitely have something playing while writing! Most of the time it's songs that I listen to that get me into the writing notch for Celeste. Other times I'm just listening to videos that make me laugh or something just as background noise.

🎮 — favorite video game(s)?

Kinda already answered that in this post. Though I also love playing the PC port of Project Diva Mega39s; there's a mod I have for that game that'll get an update soon so I'm keeping my eye out for that.

Intro Post

The link leads to the introduction post, as it contains some important rules.

[wayfayrr]

For the ask game! 17, 18 and 40!

17 - What do you do when writing gets difficult? - probably not the answer people want to hear but I usually play games dscsdv, I've been playing through the strawberry jam mod for Celeste recently and would recommend that game in general to anyone really (madeline/badelines relationship is just like four and shadow and I <3 it)

18 - Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles? - It depends on the fic actually, some I named before for example cannibros was just a discord joke name with my wife that eventually got written as a collab. whereas most of my other fics if they were given a title were named after writing based on what they're about and if I could come up with a stupid pun in most cases side-eyes I would dye for you

40 - If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you like to see? - honestly getting any fanart is just the best thing in itself and I love seeing anything that's been made. but for a fic I'd like to see, and scene? the cannibros. everything in that is just crack that was so fun to write and I love how we wrote the chain in it with Sky and Cal being my personal faves - Twi and Sage competing for that tho. The confrontation of Cal and Wild is just <33
