#set as unable to be reblogged bc this is mostly me rambling but if people are super interested I can unlock it

[ratasum]

I think I maintain that Zojja would have been better served by bringing her back during season 4. They didn't HAVE to have her kidnapped like Taimi (that was their original idea; they didn't do it because they'd just had the Taimi Kidnapping).

But Taimi's kidnapping COULD have been used as a way to bring her back.

Number one, Joko leads into what will eventually be our final fight with Kralkatorrik, the very dragon that Destiny's Edge sought to destroy in their ill-fated adventure. Number two, Taimi is her ward and her apprentice. There's no way she wouldn't have rushed in to have our EARS for her getting caught in all that.

Struggling with a sense of place, with the echoes and pains of the past, with letting Taimi grow up and letting herself grieve and heal. And getting to be present to see the end of the very thing that led her mentor to his own death so many years before.

It also means she gets to be there during Legacy, to hear Snaff's voice one last time, and to have him finally let her let go.

Hi I am going around to everyone who reblogged that post with tags: please use this ask as an excuse to ramble about your ocs I want to hear about them

Omg dawg that's so many people, kudos

Aight so the reason I said I'd drop it in the chronmune at some point is bc a lot of it's still secret (and a few of them follow me here so 🤐)

But I'll gladly do an overview of the chronmune and my characters yeah

So, the chronmune (originally "the ceaseless watcher's special little commune") is a tma based rp that started in april 2021 on discord. Following tiktok user crowpunkin's t party livestreams, where over a few months he and the chat brainstormed a fictional castle commune.

Once the discord was made it was swiftly turned into mostly being about the rp (though we still have plenty of beloved folk in there who don't rp)

I ended up being the one to develop much of the lore about the actual castle and commune and all that jazz in the rp.

And so, my bullshit:

The castle had existed for a very long time, longer than even the history I know of it. But what I do know of it is after it had been abandoned for only a few years. A couple moved in, known to us as Mx Chron and Ms Eye, and their child. Chron and Eye would do anything to protect their child, and fortunately for them, they had magic they could employ. So they took the opportunity.

A barrier, encompassing the entire castle grounds, to keep their family safe. Their child was away while they installed it, so they hoped it would be a nice surprise to return to.

But, of course, it went wrong.

The barrier instead made it so that members of the Chron-Eye family could not leave the castle grounds. And so that is where Mx Chron and Ms Eye died, after begging their child to never return, lest they also be trapped there.

Fast forward to the 1880s

The Chron-Eye family was still around, though the name had been bastardised. After dying of tuberculosis, Mee6 Cronie found themself to still be around, though no one could see them. They were a ghost.

Mee6 had always been a rambunctious child in life and took this opportunity to start a grand exploration. Which originally was just further into the city than she'd previously been allowed to go. But eventually took him across oceans to different countries.

1947

Mee6, much more corporeal and confident in their ghostly abilities than when they first died, found themself dealing with a new issue. The inability to leave a castle he had thought looked fun to explore.

And the worst part was that she was alone. There was a long time where she was unable to communicate and interact with others, but there were always people around.

But now it was just him.

And a swirling pattern on a wall, that seemed like it was trying to comfort them.

1965

Someone else entered the castle. Varis Zima, current representative of Chron. Not that Mee6 understood what that meant, but they were thrilled to find out that he was planning on bringing more people to the castle. Making it a beloved and fairly safe space.

1969

Varis- The High Priest finished setting up The Eye Commune, bringing in its first wave of inhabitants, and workers. For the commune was not just the commune but also had a fantastic cheese factory. These cheese makers would generate the main source of income for the castle.

The High Priest hadn't chosen this castle at random. It was a very spesific mission he went on to find the castle once inhabited by the first Chron avatar. He knew about the barrier and, being a Chron avatar himself, managed to gain control of it.

The cheese makers could not leave.

A young person, they couldn't have been older than 20, was visiting the town the castle was in. They saw a poster for the castle's cheese factory grand opening sale, and thought they might as well check ot out.

They were invited into the castle to look at the cheeses still maturing.

They could not leave.

Wow, what an incredibly long post for me and I didn't even get to the modern stuff, but that's more plot than lore anyway
