do you think cleo can feel heartbeats now? and if she can, is it when she wants to, or all of the time?

like she mentioned being able to feel miriam's blood in s1 and she's got a massive power upgrade since then, going from water powers to atmospheric

she also figured out her powers by exploding the hydrant, so i wonder if she could just feel whatever water's in her vicinity?

maybe emma and rikki can feel the sudden temperature change in the air and know when a storm's going to come. that'd be pretty useful for them actually

maybe bella can sense earthquakes and feel the structural integrity of a building

idk if anyone thought of this already?

[the-way-astray]

how many "talentless" people do we think are actually either a) pyrokinetics (like brant) or b) pyrokinetics that didn't manifest because the ability was banned? twelve pyrokinetics ever doesn't seem like very much. there would definitely be more if it weren't for the ban, me thinks.

What if Fintan is Sophie’s dad and then he kills someone close to Sophie like Fitz or Keefe and then she kills him and in his dying breath he tells her the truth

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is a neo-noir investigation-focused RPG with (as you can probably guess from the title) a supernatural twist. Eureka fills several voids we have noticed in the TTRPG space. Eureka supports investigation to a degree we haven’t seen before, ensuring that searching for clues is a granular and player-driven process, but also ensuring that the whole story doesn’t grind to a halt after one single failed investigation check.

Though most PCs will be mundane humans—or perhaps because most PCs will be mundane humans—Eureka also supports playing monstrous PCs, such as a vampire, in a way we have never seen before. This isn’t just a watered-down stat bonus, it’s like playing an almost entirely different game, with all the monster’s strengths and weaknesses to account for while solving the mystery, plus the added incentive to keep it a secret from the other PCs as well as their players.

If you like or are interested in Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, Dresden Files, X-Files, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Apocalypse Keys, or Gumshoe, you’ll probably find something in Eureka to really enjoy.

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is kickstarting from right now until May 10th! Back it while you still can!

We hope to see you there, and that you will help our dreams come true and launch our careers as indie TTRPG developers with a bang by getting us to our base goal and blowing those stretch goals out of the water, and fight back against WotC's monopoly on the entire hobby. Wish us luck.

I love how many demented red heads are just an accepted part of Eureka cannon. "Sure we've got your standard loose-cannon red head pyrokenetic but if you're looking for something a little more niche there's a readhead Changeling debutante. Or if you're feeling really wild there's the redheaded gun nut vampire. We got aaaaaall kinds here."

When in the chronicle of wasted time I see descriptions of the fairest wights, And beauty making beautiful old rhyme, In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights, Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best, Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow, I see their antique pen would have express’d Even such a beauty as you master now. So all their praises are but prophecies Of this our time, all you prefiguring; And for they looked but with divining eyes, They had not skill enough your worth to sing: For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

Within all tender's, all benign's that are within - all thankfulness, all swaying notions and gentle dispositions of sunlike and of tall, are all for @Valkyrrhic's domes of gracious and beau!<зз

Thousands of thank-you's are for your hands, thousands of adore's are for your benigns!

why did we decide the 50s' mermaids had the same powers as their counterparts again?

i was thinking about this the other day and i feel like it's way more interesting if they had different powers than the girls for like narrative reasons

with their powers being representative of why the 50s' mermaids didn't work, but the h2os' did

(ignoring what they said in mm. in my world rikki and emma are married, live together in an apartment and have a cocker spaniel named triton and a cat affectionately named by rikki as 'little shit')

let's start; rikki and julia

snow is an element associated with isolation and loneliness, with harsh and cold personalities

both of them have isolated themselves before. rikki grew up being harsh to others, scaring everyone away - because she was afraid of getting hurt. julia, we know she isolated herself from the others after the karl incident. we don't know much about her other than that, except she probably died alone if her locket ended up in an estate sale

rikki could've ended up like julia. but she didn't - because she warmed up to her friends, and she learned to be more open with them (again ignoring mm)

next. cleo and gracie

i find it interesting, how different they sound to be? gracie was a free-spirited model, she only ever wore unique things and everyone that knew her talked admiringly of her from what i remember. cleo, on the other hand, she'd been shown to be unconfident, preferring to stay out of the limelight, and resistant to change

but in the end, it was gracie that burnt out and took everything down with her, while cleo overcame her fear, learned to adapt, and to love being in the water

(thinking about when louise said rikki's power was the most dangerous. anyways)

finally, emma 'n louise

louise saw herself in emma for a reason, she gave her locket to her. and i take that to mean she was like emma, when she was younger - although she's def a lot more carefree now (and cryptic)

emma's very grounded, she's stubborn. and set in her ways, which makes her the perfect candidate for earth. but one of her biggest problems is that she puts too much responsibility on her shoulders

i mentioned snow was an element associated with isolation, but it's also an element associated with childish fun, like snowball fights - and building snowmen

so tldr; i hc that julia had emma's power of ice, gracie had rikki's power of fire, and louise had bella's power of earth

also. what it means for louise and bella, that they have the same powers. i think it's more interesting if there were more parallels in play than just the direct counterparts. so, louise and bella

first off, of course, their shared powers / elements - (i don't think bella can just turn things to jelly, it relates to my pressure manipulation idea)

louise was with her friends, when she got her powers. bella, on the other hand, was alone to deal with her tail and powers

then bella found others like her, and she wasn't alone anymore. louise lost her friends, and she gave up her powers because it was too much for her to handle by herself

and one last thing. the locket gems

fires can be a lot of different colors, the hottest being blue

diamond, which is a popular hc (?) for em's gem, is representative of earth + pressure

and julia's red gem. idk. santa claus or something. the berries on mistletoe. blood on snow. just a bunch of holiday assocations for julia ig? could've just been her favorite color

i ADORE that headcanon! can you talk about it more?

*shoving all the other asks in my inbox aside as i crash through the door and am magnetically pulled toward this one* sorry everybody i generally answer asks in order because i believe in first come, first serve, but this one is calling to me.

alright so here's what i originally said, just to catch people up: that not long after the pyrokinesis ban, banning abilities was a hot topic. it had never been done before, and questions like "should the council have the right to take away someone's right to use their ability?" were very controversial. this resulted in a group of councillors trying to ban the shade ability. it was eventually overturned, and eventually a law was signed into effect that banned banning abilities, deeming it a violation of the core principles of elvin society. this means that if pyrokinesis were to be unbanned, banning it again would be illegal under the new law. but since the ban was put into place before the law was signed, it's not actually a violation of the law. several people have pointed out the hypocrisy of this, but it continues to remain unresolved to this day.

okay adding things in bullets. this will stay organized if it kills me:

this is based on some oc lore that i have. it's the same oc lore that is the reason i think there was a break between fintan serving and bronte serving. this happened in that break.

basically what happened is one of the councillors started creating a ruckus a while after pyrokinesis was banned, basically trying to get it unbanned. they started screaming from the rooftops about how this was wrong and a violation and how pyrokinetics didn't deserve this, etc. their goal was to try to unban pyrokinesis. obviously.

the other councillors did not like this, one in particular. they butted heads a lot but the first councillor continued their campaign. this pissed off a lot of the other councillors.

the one in particular councillor knew about shadowflux and did not like it (found it creepy). starts to rile up the rest of the council by screaming about how shadowflux is just like the shade version of everblaze (not wrong, technically) and how it was going to lead to disaster like the everblaze incident.

thus, the council (minus the one) decide that they need to ban the shade ability before it gets to be too dangerous, like pyrokinesis. this is based in no logic, and instead mostly based on the prejudice toward shades, and a little in fear. the one councillor trying to get pyrokinesis unbanned doesn't like this.

this information is kept secret from the public, so that one councillor starts telling people that the council is thinking about banning a certain ability. importantly, they don't tell the public which ability the council is thinking of banning, knowing that will turn the public against them. instead, they fearmonger the public into considering. hey. what if the ability the council is thinking of banning is yours? after all, no amount of noble prestige or power will protect you from having your ability banned. fintan was a councillor. you aren't safe. your ability could be banned.

the public freaks out. naturally. the councillor's campaign is wildly successful, and within the month the rest of the council are forced to concede to the law. that one councillor is pissed, but public pressure forces them to sign the trying-to-unban-pyrokinesis councillor's new law that states that banning abilities will now be banned.

the trying-to-unban-pyrokinesis councillor continues to campaign to unban pyrokinesis, but is not successful. they question the integrity of elvin society if people are so willing to throw their support behind an initiative to ban banning abilities, but won't allow pyrokinesis, an ability, to be unbanned.

but it is true that if the councillor was successful in unbanning pyrokinesis, banning it again would be illegal under the new law. so that sort of makes it extra hard, because now there's no going back if it happens.

the councillor is eventually forced off the council by the other councillors for being too rebellious with their anti ability ban campaigning. they eventually fade into obscurity. no history textbooks cover this period, and most people are still not even aware to this day that the shade ability was close to being banned.

that's all i have. again this goes into oc lore, and is kind of an exploration of the hypocrisy of elvin society (believe or not, the councillor trying to unban pyrokinesis is also a hypocrite themself, for other reasons). may or may not talk about this more.

I feel like when Fintan was a councillor he just heavily flirted with all the other councillors

[purpleblooper]

Not gonna lie she is my favorite character to draw:)

Edit: Instead of Stephanie Beatriz, I'll change it to Jenny Slate as her voice actor because of Red sons voice
