Oh boy! Well, let's have them speak for themselves.

Midnight: hi! My name is Midnight, I'm an Anadi from Harthta. Harthta is the world our partner system made, and many of us are from or connected to there. Anadi are originally from Pathfinder 2e, but really the only similarities are that we're tarantula shapeshifters hehe. Anadi in Harthta were created by the god of nature and destruction to protect nature. However, when he was dethroned by Rune the Anadi started to slowly die out. Eggs just stopped hatching. In the OC world I thought I was the last Anadi alive. Long story short, I was not, and my husband, Kujo, is actually half Anadi.

Rune: since I got name-dropped, I'll pipe in. My name is Rune, and I am a fusion of multiple versions of myself. I am from the worlds of Harthta and Artka. My story in a nutshell is that I was a mortal, rose to godhood by alchemy/science, became the god of creation by the blessing of the prior god of creation, was corrupted by the power (it was actually a kind of weird plural situation where the god itself corrupted me it's interesting in retrospect terrifying in action), got dethroned, and became a better person as a mortal. I'm physically disabled in headspace because I was such before becoming a god (spinal injury in Harthta, multiple sclerosis in Artka) and was still disabled after being dethroned

Etsai: So I don't have many source memories, I'm actually pretty divergent from my original source, but I do like the OC version of myself so! I am from Artka pre-shattering. For those not in the loop, the shattering is what brought magic to Artka. I was the co-host of a DID system called the Ashes System who worked at what's effectively olive garden. We were your typical depressed human. But when the shattering came, it mutated us into a tiefling who had these tree-ring inspired spots that grew, the color of the rings being who is in front. This version of me is very connected to D&D, and I was a fighter, the other host (who was played by a different player, hence why it was DID), Monty, was a rouge. There was a version of me who lived in Harthta that makes up some of my memories, but that's not canon to the official OC canon.

Bart: oh boy, where do I start. I'm not from the same Harthta/Artka universe the other three are from. I'm from Earth, but a few separate versions. I introjected from The Sims 4, Fallout 4, and my own OC canon. You can find out the story of the sole survivor in fallout 4 on your own so I'm not gonna talk about that specifically. I was born in 1899 in England on a dairy farm. I had my older brother, Will, and my younger sister, Lily. As a spectacular moment of teenage wisdom, I lied and went to fight in WW1 when I was 17. I died when I was 17, to a vampire in the trenches. I was reborn the next day, and eventually made my way back home. Things start to diverge here and I have multiple memories, which tbh I think I'm a subsystem based around my sources which explains all the different feelings and memories connected to these. But yeah I survived as a vampire from then on. I don't particularly want to go too in depth into it. My Sims life means I remember having a lot of children and other various descendants.

Octives, introduce your source! Who are you? What's your story, or even... what is your story about? Share as many details and fun facts as you'd like!

PART 1/2 - Storytime!

Once Upon A Time… Things were great! Until they weren’t. dun, dun, dun

Every great fictional world starts with a history lesson!

[qaze]

3/5 lore spoilers!!!

BoundSMP cast knew that they had to kill off Rune before bringing back Draeke because those two together would solve world peace within the first hour of them interacting, or they’d never get anywhere without going down 20 different rabbit holes in the span of 30 minutes.

You just got Rune and Draeke hiding in Rune’s basement surrounded by coffee cups while Castrel and Vast attempt to drag their partners away from their notes for 5 seconds

I LOVE NECROMANCER JAYCE!!!

The idea of the hexcore not doing it, and making Jayce do the legwork and corrupt himself. Still manipulating them both and in the end actually cementing Jayce's loyalty and isolation from those around him. Enabling him the skills to bring back Viktor, and tying them closer together. Viktor waking up to a Jayce who's burned everything to bring him back

OHYES I love unhinged Jayce, I wish they would have shown more of his mad scientist side because I think in the end it would be Jayce who, as you say, would burn the world down to get Viktor back.

I mean, we saw in canon that Jayce was still torn up inside even when he knew that an entire timeline, and therefore people's lives, were at stake. He was still on the verge of joining Viktor. That boy has no brain cells left when it's about his partner (I mean that in the most affectionate way)

I'm a sucker for villain jayce tbh. And of course villain couple jayvik because they both give off that certain vibe

I can imagine that not only Viktor but also our Jayce would act morally grey in order to create supposedly ‘better’ circumstances

Messmer’s Great Rune

A Great Rune of a long lost demigod, a shardbearer denied.

Its blessing greatly increases poise while attacking or casting.

The Great Rune smolders with blackened red flame, and enwreathes the wielder’s body and soul in darkness. It is in the base serpent’s nature to attack with reckless abandon, and this rune would have allowed it to feel no pain in the heat of battle.

That the rune encompasses the upper ring marks Messmer as the firstborn son, and thus godhood—his birthright.

(credit to @katyspersonal for pointing this out :> art and item desc by me)

Anon wanted to know if I had a Venus de Milo design for 2017... the answer is YES!!

SO! Bound Lore happened- was pretty good and whimsical today (March 1st, 2025)

We got a bit of luxtent today, so I went ahead and deciphered and translated it (tho im sure the discord is far ahead of me!)

Blank text:

[x] Detrudere (deht-true-deh-rey)

[x] Reddere (rehd-eh-rey)

[x] Ex haurire (ehcks (like saying 'x') hawr-ear-ay) (OR: exhaurire)

[(check)] Redde Furto (rehd-ay fur-toe)

Translation: (to the best of my ability)

[x] To push away (the verb is in the infinitive form, and can also be translated "thrust/force/drive away")

[x] to return (infinitive form, can also be translated "hand over", "deliver", "pay/give back", or "restore"

[x] to draw from/draw out/drain/empty (Infinitive, plus the preposition "ex" [which is used to convey going out of something- the word "exit" comes from it], however, this verb (haurire) can also be translated as "Drain", "devour", "drink", and "exhaust")(NOTE: exhaurire is very similar in meaning, but has a more sense of drawing out/emptying!)

[(checked)] Return the stolen article (Redde, which is actually the same word as "reddere" means "return"/"restore"/"pay/give back", and is in the imperative case- which translates as an order, and is the singular version of the imperative [example: "porta aquam! = "carry the water!" ]. Furto is usually translated as "theft"/"deception"/"trick", but I believe it's meant to be "the stolen item/article". It is in the ablative or dative case, but I believe it's meant to be the direct object?)

Because I finally uploaded this piece of TCAG art I wanted to point out this detail you can barely even see in the full piece, which are the tiny runes inscribed on every link in Viktor's chains (and also on the shackles.) I ended up putting a strange amount of thought into how these god-tier magical restraints would actually work, lmao.

I imaging that they had to create a mold or something to produce these chain links rather than doing it all by hand. Though each one still had to be carefully checked over, probably by Jayce himself. Enjoy this window into Jayce's horrible life during act one of this story.

The big rune on the front and back is the Resolve rune, which in League is related to turning damage into health/strength, which plays a part in marking sure it can all withstand Viktor's power.

Jayce is definitely dedicated to the craft, even if he's kind of regretting being so good at his job now.

Character design explorations of the characters from my story, Stillness

[arcadekitten]

Who are all of your human characters and what percentage of the world do you think humans are?

Well there's Embry, Embry's mother, Rune (debatably), Sunny, Aubrey, and a bunch of more "background" characters. I'm not sure what percentage of the world I'd say humans are, but they are far far outnumbered by the other animal species in the world!
