KIP'S BIG POST OF THINGS TO MAKE THE INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY SUCK A LITTLE LESS

Post last updated November 23, 2024. Will continue to update!

Here are my favorite things to use to navigate technology my own way:

A refurbished iPod loaded with Rockbox OS (Rockbox is free, iPods range in price. I linked the site I got mine from. Note that iPods get finicky about syncing and the kind of cord it has— it may still charge but might not recognize the device to sync. Getting an original Apple cord sometimes helps). Rockbox has ports for other MP3 players as well.

This Windows debloater program (there are viable alternatives out there, this one works for me). It has a powershell script that give you a little UI and buttons to press, which I appreciate, as I'm still a bit shy with tech.

Firefox with the following extensions: - Consent-O-Matic (set your responses to ALL privacy/cookie pop-ups in the extension, and it will answer all pop-ups for you. I can see reasons to not use it, but I appreciate it) - Facebook Container ("contains" Meta on Facebook and Instagram pages to keep it from tracking you or getting third party cookies, since Meta is fairly egregious about it) - Redirect Amp to HTML (AMP is designed for mobile phones, this forces pages to go to their HTML version) - A WebP/AVIF image converter - uBlock Origin and uBlacklist, with the AI blacklist loaded in to kill any generative AI results from appearing in search engines or anywhere.

Handbrake for ripping DVDs— I haven’t used this in awhile as I haven’t been making video edits. I used this back when I had a Mac OS

VLC Media Player (ol’ reliable)

Unsplash & Pexels for free-to-use images

A password manager (these often are paid. I use Dashlane. There are many options, feel free to search around and ask for recs!). There is a lot that goes into cybersecurity— find the option you feel is best for you.

Things I suggest:

Understanding Royalty Free and the Creative Commons licenses

Familiarity with boolean operators for searching

Investing in a backup drive and external drive

A few good USBs, including one that has a backup of your OS on it

Adapter cables

Avoiding Fandom “wikias” (as in the brand “Fandom”) and supporting other, fan-run or supported wikis. Consider contributing if its something you find yourself passionate or joyful about.

Finding Forums for the things you like, or creating your own*

Create an email specifically for ads/shopping— use it to receive all promotional emails to keep your inbox clean. Upkeep it.

Stop putting so much of your personal information online— be willing to separate your personal online identity from your “online identity”. You don’t owe people your name, location, pronouns, diagnoses, or any of that. It’s your choice, but be discerning in what you give and why. I recommend avoiding providing your phone number to sites as much as possible.

Be intentional

Ask questions

Talk to people

Remember that you can lurk all you want

Things that are fun to check out:

BBSes-- here's a portal to access them.

Neocities

*Forums-- find some to join, or maybe host your own? The system I was most familiar with was vbulletin.

MMM.page

Things that have worked well for me but might work for you, YMMV:

Limit your app usage time on your smartphone if you’re prone to going back to them— this is a tangible way to “practice mindfulness”, a term I find frustratingly vague ansjdbdj

Things I’m looking into:

The “Pi Hole”— a raspberry pi set up to block all ads on a specific internet connection

VPNs-- this is one that was recommended to me.

How to use computers (I mean it): Resources on how to understand your machine and what you’re doing, even if your skill and knowledge level is currently 0:

This section I'll come back an add to. I know that messing with computers can be intimidating, especially if you feel out of your depth. HTML and regedits and especially things like dualbooting or linux feel impossible. So I want to put things here that explain exactly how the internet and your computer functions, and how you can learn and work with that. Yippee!

Marshmallow Keychains | Alexia Putellas x Reader

synopsis: want that cute (overly expensive) jellycat? Lucky for you you've got a very generous girlfriend.

warnings: none . But it is my first time writing for Alexia so consider that your warning lol

wc: 1k words

“Oh my god–  baby look at this one!” You hold up a small pink bashful bunny, showing it to you the girl beside you. You and Alexia were in London as your footballer girlfriend has a few days off of training. 

“Si. That’s nice, mi amor” She said in the most monotonous tone ever, but you didn’t mind her less than enthusiastic response, you were far too enamoured with the soft stuffed bunny in your arms. 

You put the bunny down and move on to the next adorable thing that catches your eye. “And they’ve got marshmallow keychains! These are so cute!” You've been roaming the store for a few minutes now, caressing and cuddling all the soft stuffies, much to the entertainment of your girlfriend. However, these marshmallows are different. The two marshmallows, one white and one pink, were holding hands and smiling sweetly at you. “I need them, Ale” 

Alexia just stares, seemingly unmoved by the cuteness of the little marshmallows with little faces. She raises a perfect eyebrow at you, unconvinced. “Do you, amour?”

“Okay maybe I don’t need it– but I do want it…” You look down at the cute keychains in your hands. Turning the price tag around, you visibly wince. If you were to buy two, that would be nearly £50 British pounds for two small keychains. You move to put the marshmallows back on the shelf, hoping they’ll still be in stock when you can willingly afford to splurge on them, but your girlfriend grabs them from you. 

“I’ll buy it for you” Alexia says sweetly with a kiss on your cheek. The bright smile you gift her has Alexia feeling like she’s on top of the world. Over the years that you've been dating, you've gotten used to Alexia literally throwing her card at you whenever she could. She knows that you can afford to buy things on your own, you've got a job that you loved and it pays well, but gift-giving has always been her love language. She liked taking care of you and you gladly indulged her. While you did not care much for designer clothes and luxury bags, you loved the little things– like the silly little marshmallows keychain that Alexia currently has clutched in her hand. 

You look around the rest of the store where there are shelves and shelves of stuffed animals. Rows of Jellycats lined the shelves, each one seemingly more adorable than the last.You gasp suddenly, grabbing onto your girlfriend’s tan arm nearly startling her. “LOOK OVER THERE–“

Leaving her behind, you literally sprint over to the shelf not the other side of the shop and pick up the object that caught your eye “A sandcastle with a little face– oh muy amable” You coo at the yellow stuffed toy in your hand. You snuggle the sandcastle in your arms, rubbing your cheek against the soft material. 

“muy suave, amor” Alexia corrects gently once she has made her way over to you. Unable to resist how cute you look, she lays a sweet kiss on your cheek. You’ve been learning Spanish, attending language classes and regularly being flown out to Barcelona by your very generous girlfriend. She insists that regularly exposing you to the culture and the environment will allow you to pick up the language quicker. It’s also part of the Spaniard’s plan to get you to move in with her as soon as possible– but she would never admit that to you willingly. 

The shopkeeper restocking a shelf nearby noticed your excitement. "Ah, you’ve found our special edition," she said with a warm smile. "We only received a few of those. It’s part of a summer series they released.”

You gasp and turn to Alexia with that look on your face. The look that can get you whatever you want– one that your girlfriend was very familiar with. Before you can say anything, Alexia is already rolling her eyes and reaching into her back pocket for her wallet. 

Smiling the biggest smile in the world, you reach a hand towards her gold amex card that she dangles in the air before she pulls back just before you can grab it. You pout at her. 

“Do not pout, mi amour.” Tugging playfully on your ponytail, she lays a quick smooch on the side of your neck knowing exactly how ticklish you are. You try to swat her away, but not before she somehow manages to steal one more kiss from you. “I just wanted to be sure– that’s all you’re buying, si?” 

With that, you turn to the kind shopkeeper from earlier with the biggest smile on your face. “Do you have any more limited editions Jellycats? My girlfriend is feeling very generous today” 

You both leave the shop with one big bag filled with seven new jellycats to start your collection, but with barely a dent on Alexia’s card. On your crossbody bag dangles the marshmallows keychain, and another pair is nestled inside the shopping bag that your girlfriend insists on carrying for you. 

A week later Alexia walks into the locker room, her boots in one hand, and her training bag thrown over her shoulder. She walks to her locker, putting her bag down on the bench. The locker room is loud with chatter, the girls catching each other up on what they got up to during the break.

Mapi is walking over to her locker right beside Alexia when something new catches her eye “¿Qué es eso?”

Alexia stops what she was doing and looks to where her teammate is pointing. “…Jellycat.”

At first Alexia had protested, or at least she tried to. You loved the marshmallow jellycat keychain so much, and made sure to hang it on every bag that you wore out– even when you would borrow one of your girlfriend’s very expensive, fancy bags. You could be using one of Alexia’s Louis Vuitton bags and the marshmallow keychain would be hanging on the side.

Alexia, on the other hand, was less than enthusiastic to use her keychain. During checkout, she had thrown in a keychain for herself last minute, thinking she could get away with you just knowing she has one just like yours. However, you insisted that she had to use it. You explained that the marshmallows would be sad if they were left behind just collecting dust on her bedside table. In response, she rolled her eyes and grumbled something about you being “a pain in the ass”— at least according to the little bits of Spanish that you could understand. 

The following morning, your girlfriend left you in bed– you with your messy hair, flushed cheeks, swollen red lips, and her with her hair neatly in a ponytail, and her training gear on. You watched with a smile on your face as Alexia left the house with a very familiar keychain dangling against the side of her Barcelona training bag. 

need me a rich athlete wife who can spoil me with jellycats too

also im really loving these shorter blurbs because it allows me to just write whenever im inspired without worrying about a low word count.

the euros final is tonight, if you care lol. may the least shittiest team win x

Liminal Spaces w/ 141

A thought I made with a few friends who fleshed it out more:

Liminal spaces! But you know, 141 are the monsters :P Now, the rule is that as long as you're compliant and not trying to escape, your liminal space is going to be heaven. They'll make sure of that to ensure you don't associate anything negative to their space. Can't have that, hmm?

Each man has their own domain. :)

Price - Suburbia:

Quiet, infinite neighborhood, everything looks the same. There's people but they all seem to act exactly like you'd imagine Stock Images people would act.

You can't really talk with them either. Strange how when you approach one of them, they just disappear in a blink of an eye.

Price would prefer if you act as his loving partner :)

The fridge is always stocked! Beds are warm and cozy. The television plays anything you want.

You also get WIFI. Don't bother messaging anyone (that isn't your husband.)

You can try to 'exit' the neighborhood. There's a car even! You can drive in it. There's unlimited amount of fuel. Too bad the road never seems to end and the houses are still there...

Not to worry. You can exit out of the car and enter any one of the houses. Price is always waiting :)

Got that all out of your system, hm?

Gaz - Shopping Mall:

Shopping mall has everything and anything.

Movie theaters, designer clothes, outlets, cafeterias, anything you want- it's there! Have fun exploring :)

It's just you though. No one else is in this mall.

Gaz's voice will always guide you over the speakers, should you ever get lost.

Or, your favorite music always plays over the speakers. You can ask Gaz to skip any song or play whatever you want at any moment of time.

Arcades, cafes, even a pet shop! Gaz will be happy to join you if you wish for company :)

The doors to the exits don't budge open. Stop trying.

There's an Internet cafe and library in this mall. Anything you want to read, watch, listen- it's all there. Still can't talk with anyone... Shame.

But you have Kyle. Who else do you want?

Soap - the Woods:

The Firewatch tower in the endless, dense woods.

It's pretty cozy.

Food is always stocked in the fridge. Plenty of water too. If you want something fresh, just ask! Soap is happy to hunt for you :)

You can watch sunsets and sunrises with him. He loves it :)

No WIFI here unfortunately, but, really- say goodbye to your electronic devices and embrace nature. It's good for you.

If you want to explore the woods, always have Soap beside you. He'll guide you around. Maybe you might find a small, beautiful clearing beside a lake. It's a perfect campsite. Could go swimming, fishing, canoeing...

Don't worry. No harmful bugs or creepy crawlies you dislike.

Oh? You want to go rock-climbing? Why how convenient that there's this cliff right beside us. With harnesses and such attached to the wall! And would you look at that, it's very easy to climb.

Plenty of things to do.

Starwatching. :)

As long as you're with him, no harmful monsters are going to bother you two.

Never go alone.

Ghost - the Beach

It's... a lovely beach.

If it weren't so foggy in most days.

But that's what you have Ghost for. He's your personal heater. :)

Seriously it gets freezing at night and the small shack by the ocean isn't really keeping the cold out.

Don't you worry. Sand won't get everywhere. And it's smooth. Calm your tits, Anakin.

Some days, when the Sun is out, the sand is just the perfect warm bed for you to lay down and just... sunbathe.

You can tan with Ghost to get that impeccable bronze. Don't worry, you won't get sunburnt. Of course... could always ask Ghost to lather sunscreen on you. He'll be happy to help you with that :)

The water can vary in temperature- from freezing cold to a nice sunny warm.

You can swim and wade in it. And you can try to go deeper but isn't that strange? The depth isn't changing and you just don't seem to be leaving the shore too much.

The currents do get stronger when you keep on trying. Don't bother, you're never getting past it.

Plenty of food and water in that shack. And spare clothes, towels...

WIFI? Babe, this is the beach. You don't need it. You have Ghost.

Bonus:

Credits to @angelcqre for this line:

something about the boys all going to Gaz’s domain at random points to pick up shit they don’t have in their own domains [...]

Yes.

Yes they would. They absolutely would.

With a total of 1,176 votes tallied, the preferred plushie poll winner with 28.8% of votes is…

What a close one! Jonathan came in with 27.7%, the mysterious Mr. Morse with 24.9% and, delicious irony of ironies, London Dracula with 18.9%. Rest in pieces. Now, what does all this mean going forward?

First, just to reconfirm: I will absolutely be looking into the costs for having more than one plushie character produced at a time. For all that Mina has the top spot if it comes down to a solo run, Nobody Wants to Separate the Gothic Horror Soulmates, even as wee little plushies. It hurts my heart to think of. Mina and Jonathan deserve to sit side by side on everyone’s pillow. Just as Quinn Morse deserves to haunt the pillow next to theirs while casually throttling and carving London Dracula into pieces. For enrichment.

But beyond that, some other key things:

How is this getting done?

Sadly, I was not a cool enough kid for Makeship to greenlight a collaboration with me. Tragique. But while I was sitting around waiting for them to get back to me, I had time to browse around for other options. During that sniffing around I dug up a couple of promising manufacturers—one of which has some really neat options for not only plush toys, but all sorts of bric-a-brac like stationery, shirts, bags, cups, et cetera—and I plan to reach out to them for quotes to start with. Nothing really gets to move forward until I can nail down prices and the amount of X plushies to be made.

I am more than a little hesitant to tell anyone MAKE ME 1000+ PLUSHIES, PLEASE, THE TUMBLR POLL SAID THEY’RE GOOD FOR IT. These aren’t as simple as print/make-on-demand products, so I need to be careful estimating the amount of folks ready and willing to drop money on the little guys. But I will keep everyone updated on the numbers regardless!

Sooo is this a crowdfunding thing or an investment or what?

Don’t know yet. I am still between jobs at the moment—reminder to check out my Ko-Fi if you want to drop me a buck or commission some art!—but if this is something I can safely drop some of my own money in with the guarantee that it will let me do better than break even, I’ll do what I can out of pocket. However, if the cost of making something of good quality turns out too steep, I’ll start looking into stuff like Kickstarter and Backerkit and so on. I want to be sure I’m not gutting anybody’s wallet to pull this off and I want to be double-sure that what we’re paying for isn’t some flimsy throwaway junk. We are all here on the same Dracula book club starving artist site, so It Has to Be Worth It and not a money-sink for anyone.

Got it. Any other info to spare?

For the plushies specifically, this is when I’ll start:

Polishing up the current four designs into cleaner illustrations with different angles to provide for mockup samples with whoever I pick to manufacture with. If I get stuck on something—(which is likely)—I may throw up another poll to bug everyone about palettes and fashion choices. I have a few more designs I haven’t dropped yet for Epilogue Harkers, a non-Bloofer Lucy, and keychains that I’d love to share too!

Eyeballing materials. I’m already picturing a very close-cut cloth for the build and clothes, but I need to decide on filling too. Stiff overstuffing to hold a pose versus softer/lighter plush for floppy cuddleability. 

Poking at other character roughs, ala the Suitor Squad, the Weird Sisters, Van Helsing, Renfield, and Baby Quincey. And if all of those go well…

…maybe some designs for other favorites in the public domain playground. (Looks meaningfully at Clarimonde, Carmilla, Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, the King in Yellow, too many others.) ((But that’s all far-future stuff at the moment.))

Cool! But you also mentioned something about other merch?

I did.

Because goddamn do I want some Dracula-themed stationery. Journals! Memo pads! Pens! Every day we don’t have these things with the Harkers’ mark upon them is a victory for the forces of Count Dracula’s document-destroying evil. Likewise for shirts, totes, mugs, keychains, face masks and other things that could use some novel-flavored goodies. Hell, I’ll probably even get on with making stuff for The Vampyres to link on my website too. Because I am. Maybe behind on that. By several months.

Anyway.

I’ve got to start working on some designs for those too while the plushie process is progressing. Pray that my carpals don’t get tunneled.

Nice! Sounds like your plate is pretty full. So that’s it, right?

:)

Arcane?

:3c

Arcane. I need you to tell me this is all you’re working on.

>:}

Arcane.

Please stand by.

I have a little treat brewing for the Dracula Dailiers and @re-dracula folks in honor of a very special day for our good friend Jonathan Harker.

[kedreeva]

Any bird artists/graphic designers/photo-editors out there that might be willing to make a logo and/or a merch design for our local small game bird association, after the new year?

Story below the cut if you want more info

I'm currently in the process of taking over my state game bird association's website stuff, to help them recover after incredibly bad leadership did their level best to wreck it entirely. It's a "State" association, in that it's for people in this state but isn't run by the state, it's just like. a few people who like game birds who have made nonprofit (like an actual 501(c)) club for other people that like game birds. There's less than 100 members in it according to the registry I saw, to give you an idea what it's like. I'm dealing with one 70+ year old lady, one Older Mom (who isn't even in the association anymore) that helped transfer stuff out of her name, and one Other Lady (who is apparently the sister of one of the hospital board members, but who lacks her sister's desire to watch the world burn I guess) that I've only had phone conversations with so far. I've so far been able to get their website under control and I'm working on getting their facebook back into their hands (it's still being held hostage by a hostile board member they're trying to get rid of), and to try to help them all limp into being a functional association again, like it was when I first started interacting with it 20 years ago.

That being said, in the transfer of the site, the previous site is 100% lost, including all old graphics. No one still in the association has any of the old graphics saved. That's fine, they were.... terrible. Like, this is an old preview pic of the site banner

Truly terrible. So, not gonna lie, kinda glad it's gone forever.

There is an OLDER banner, from before dickhead mcfuckface took over the association, and it's "better" but it's very clearly got an 80s vibe like you would not believe

But, the old lady that is running the association now asked me about having a header on the front page, so here I am. I told her that there were a TON of talented artists that would be happy to be paid (all of the following would be PAID work, if the association can afford it and if not they will just do without, I was VERY clear about needing to pay artists for work) to design a logo and/or some kind of graphic designer that could help with a little banner for the website. She also asked me about selling t-shirts and hats, since some people at the swaps have asked for them. I told her that a nice looking logo would be a good start for that kind of thing, but that I could ask around and see if anyone wanted to draw a game bird design to sell at their bake sale table or maybe redbubble or something similar so people can just get what they want.

I'm sorry that this is vague, but beyond the logo/site header, I'm not sure exactly what they are going to want, just that they are going to want An Artist Or Three. You'd be dealing with me once I've wrangled them into telling me what they exactly want for anything outside the website.

As for the website, I actually don't mind the basic design of the second banner (the 80's one, a rectangle, circle badge logo in the middle, game animals to either side), and I think it would be good to bring back that general feel, but cleaner and brighter on colors, and different animals. The club does not really deal with deer or raccoons regularly, and pheasants are not the only game birds. I was thinking maybe just doing birds on both sides. Peacocks, pheasant, chicken, turkey, ducks, quail, and dove(s) are the most common at swap meets, so some combo of those would be nice (doesn't need to have all of them), as that's what members will mostly be raising.

If that's something you feel you might be interested in, and can provide your pricing & an example of your style so I can bring it to them and tell them I want them to pay you to give me things for the site and/or association at large.

For the laughs, here is what I "mocked up" for them as an idea

But they also liked the idea of a plain badge logo like this one (because they don't live and breathe peafowl I assume, it's the only explanation)

anyway. if you have the art skills and wanna help a bird nerd group out, please let me know!

[ganondoodle]

yeah no of course i cant stop trying still ...

currently trying to get out of the mindset -draw what could be popular- by designing some rough ideas for the weapons shops in the new totk rewrite (fuse isnt a thing here)

to explain; during the first part (before villain rauru reveal and change to shiekah arm) the way to repair or craft weapons is with a new type of NPCs; they are smiths that can repair your weapons, craft them, and have some avaible to buy (mostly for arrows but also small selection of weapons), it costs material and some money, or if you dont have the material/all material, it costs more money but is still doable, price depending on how valuable or hard to get the material is you dont want to spend on it

then after the switch to the sheikah arm and zelda taking on the role of your permanent companion, she can both repair and craft as well (might be limited but expandable with quests, as in that zelda learns more skills- so theres new quests after the switch and you cant just do everything before that) with the difference that you need to have the required materials but it costs no money

this would mean that while no giant change before and after the halfway point of the game, it is definitely different feeling, plus its a convenience that is good to have in the second half but shouldnt be sorely missed in the first, the difference between NPC smith and zelda gives you the option to spend material or money- so you arent forced to grind anything if you need either for something else, plus new quest rewards for the second half and new points of interest in general, similar to a stable but not too close so theres still an element of exploration; they arent super frequent but around the map of the surface enough that you can reasonably reach one in each region (perhaps after aquiring the yiga as allies/or before that in disguise they can do the same for you but are only found in the underground)

it would also allow for more diverse gameplay, if your favorite weapon is about to break (it might not fully disappear but if you use it up it would go into a condition like the master sword when its lost its power, not usable or doing tiny amount of damage, but not gone forever if you accidentally use it too much-) you can decide to throw it away or keep it until you find the next smith, depending on if you already found one and see you are close or havent yet, or spend the material if you have it to instantly repair it

(i havent decided yet if rauru might be willing to repair your weapons, but not to craft them since he lacks the skill (would never admit to it) and he only wants to give you just enough support to enable you to do what he wants you to do- i think that might work better bc its still a difference to zelda, since she can craft too, but not too much so that you would feel like the games forcing you to use the smiths in the first half ... possibly its unlocked with one of the enigma stones, when rauru can claim he is able to do that now bc it lets him recover some of his strength)

what im wondering now, which is a bit important i think, is .. should the smiths be wandering around a set path or have a lil stationary shop? if they wander around it would make it a bit more depending on situation of you wanna use them, but bears the risk of making it annoying if you dont know here they are or happen to be too far away and a lil weird bc should have something to work on there, like an anvil, which would be a lil strange to carry around; a lil shop could potentially turn into a location you keep teleporting back and forth though im leaning towards the shop; you could make helping them build it a quest too, or saving them from monsters? overall i think this idea is a rather nice balance

SAGAU-adjacent not-Creator Creator 3

Summary: You knew, viscerally down to your bones, that you did not create this world; Teyvat had no grand creator, no single hand designing its wonders. It did, however, have something of a catalytic agent, without which it would not exist.

You.

[Previous] [Masterlist] [Next]

The next morning, Diluc accompanied you on your way to Liyue Harbor. According to him, he had business at Wangshu Inn, but by your experiences in Mondstadt thus far he was probably actually there to escort you. Frankly, you would take it. You knew zealots could go to extreme lengths for the sake of their beliefs, and this world was full of them. If always having a bodyguard at your side was the price, that was getting off lightly, in your opinion.

Two days of meandering brought you through the Stone Gate and to the outer edges of Dihua Marsh. A Statue of Seven stood prominently beside the road, this one bearing the visage of a handsome man sprawled on a throne and holding a cube aloft. It, too, called to you.

Diluc watched in confusion as you approached it. As before, you laid a hand on it -- and as before, the world expanded in your mind. You became aware of every pebble beneath your feet, every boulder perched atop cliffs, every inch of Liyue’s land was waiting to be discovered if only you would turn your attention.

Pulling back, you repeatedly clenched a hand as you considered your power reserves. A bit less than a third, you thought, which matched your expectations if this was the second of seven local gods. Five to go until you regained your full power.

Seven Archons, seven statues. Seven portions of your power.

It wasn’t as if you strictly needed to retrieve your power from the statues since you could just wait a few millennia for it to regenerate within you, but you had already planned to go to Sumeru and thus Liyue. That was three out of seven nations, you might as well complete the set.

You looked around. No Archon came to greet you as Venti did.

“Your Grace?”

“Who is Liyue’s Archon?” you asked.

“It was previously Morax, however, he passed away the year before last. Liyue currently has no Archon,” Diluc promptly answered.

And yet the ley lines weren’t scarred, as they would be if a god died. Curious. You considered the question for a moment before putting it aside. Despite what Mondstadt’s people had expressed, you weren’t the reigning god of Teyvat and had no authority over how its people wanted to live. If the Geo Archon wanted to hide for whatever reason, that was his choice.

“Let’s keep going,” you said, shading your eyes as you looked towards the setting sun, “I don’t want to sleep in a marsh.”

Wangshu Inn was an impressive construction built around a tree bigger than the one at Windrise, and thankfully there was a mechanical lift so you didn’t have to trek up the many, many (many) stairs. It was also good that Diluc knew the proprietress, Verr Goldet, well, and could vouch for you because you suddenly realised that you had no local currency. You were, to put it bluntly, penniless.

...In your defence, mora didn’t exist when you first came to Teyvat and no one asked you to pay for anything in Mondstadt. Honestly, you were surprised this hadn’t become an issue earlier.

But your accommodation was secured despite your bankruptcy.

As you walked up the stairs to your room, you wondered how to word your request. Finally, in the hallways, you called out to Diluc. He turned to you attentively.

“Thank you for your company these past few days, really,” you told him, neatly sidestepping his actual purpose here, “but I’m sure you have better things to do than traipsing around the wilderness with me.”

He frowned almost imperceptibly. “You are far more important than anything else,” he protested, but you shook your head.

“I can tell that you’ve put a lot of work into your winery as well as Mondstadt, it would be a shame if they decline,” you said. He still looked mutinous, so you went in for the kill. You leaned in. “Those Liberation casks you opened for me tasted divine,” you confided, “can you make sure they’re of equally high quality the next time I visit?”

At this, Diluc seemed to, somehow, simultaneously droop and straighten. “Your wish is my command,” he stated resolutely.

Mission accomplished!

You promised to have breakfast with him the next day which appeased him much better.

You opened the door to your room and immediately jumped. There, waiting for you on the balcony, was a green-haired young man with resentment clinging to his aura. Distantly, you could feel Geo struggling to reach you through the great height to thrum, Alatus, golden-winged peng, Anemo, Yaksha, bound to the Lord of Geo.

He too carried a wisp of your power locked away within a bauble, this one attached to his glove.

You were accustomed to Teyvat informing you of its favoured Vision-holders by now, so you were confident in your address when you closed the door and called out, “Alatus.”

He dropped to his knees almost instantly. “Your Grace the Overseer,” he greeted reverently.

Another zealot. You held in a sigh. “Get up, please. Why are you here?”

He seemed to almost shuffle in place, looking distinctly ruffled, before rising to his feet and settling into a posture you had seen in more than one military during your travels. With his back straight and arms stiffly at his sides, he reminded you of nothing more than a product for inspection. “Emperor of All, Forge of Days, it is this one’s pleasure to welcome You to this land. One is pleased to report that Liyue prospers under Your benevolent gaze. If it would please Your Imperial Majesty, the adepti and mortals of Liyue are in the midst of preparations for a grand feat to celebrate Your arrival.”

‘In the midst’, he said. That explained all the activity you detected towards the south. Alatus continued while you fell into brief thought.

“We await only Your immortal presence,” he concluded in a rush.

However, you shook your head. “It’s late, and I’ve agreed to have breakfast with Diluc.” You smiled to soften the blow. “Another time, perhaps?”

current fixation is imagining it’s summer (because winter has me so done!!!) and Dominic comes home early for lunch and he sees the reader in the backyard with the children playing but they have water guns and unfortunately drench the readers shirt…

Naaauuuuurrr, getting the cogs in my brain turning here, Anon 🤭

TW: Dominic Being a Creep, Fetishisation of Reader, Dominic Being a Borderline Neglectful Father :-(, Manipulation, Clothes Stealing, Mildly Suggestive Content.

♡ You know he's going to be super weird about it.

♡ Internally, of course.

♡ He's throwing himself into the heart of the action like his life depends on it, rolling up his sleeves and joining the fun.

♡ He wants you to think he's more than Dominic Laurier, CEO of...well, whatever it is he's the CEO of.

♡ He wants you to see his warm side; the side he wants you to think he's letting you to see - his vulnerable, fun-loving, fatherly side.

♡ Yeah, his kids are a little weirded out by the fact that their father is actually getting involved on their lives (for once), but hey, they're not complaining ! They're just happy to see their father instead of him retreating into his study the minute he comes home.

♡ Dominic tries to distribute his time equally between you and his sons, but seeing you with your shirt drenched makes for a most opportune distraction.

♡ He tries not to let his staring become glaringly obvious to you, even going inside the house to retrieve his designer sunglasses. But alas, you will still feel eyes in you; the weight of voyeurism in broad daylight hanging over you like a cloud.

♡ Dominic takes this time - this brief window of opportunity - to get as close to you as you will allow, all but tackling you, gently shunting you - anything to feel your skin against him.

♡ He has to resist pulling you into him when you hide from his sons, tucked behind the trunk of one of the oak trees in his back yard. You fit so well within his silhouette that it's all he can think about, having you leaning against him, his hand on your shoulder to 'steady' you.

♡ And you know for a fact that he's going to use this water fight as an excuse to give you a change of clothes.

♡ You can try to attest that the weather is warm enough for you to bear wet clothes for a little longer - long enough to go home and change there. You know, considering you live right next door.

♡ "Mais non, what would your parents think of me if I were to send you home soaking wet!"

♡ He shudders to think. He thinks too much. Wonders.

♡ "It wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me."

♡ He finds a pair of Marilyn's pants he knows she doesn't use anymore (because he doesn't let her use them), as well as one of his shirts.

♡ It's clean, but lightly worn. You can still smell him in it.

♡ Just as he indended.

♡ He tells you he'll wash your clothes, that he'll return them to you tomorrow.

♡ He can't lie now. Can't just keep your clothes for himself.

♡ However, he spots an opportunity.

♡ He'll keep something of yours - something small, minimal. A sock, perhaps.

♡ He'll say it got lost - must've been integrated with their washing after he'd dried them. He'll buy you a new pair - something luxurious and beyond the realms of comfort you're used to. All the while, he gets to keep something of yours before you return his shirt to him, your scent staining it.

♡ Two treasure troves at the price of one voyage.

-

Last week a man who lived down the street was taken and disappeared. People are talking about it. It was the employees of the Space Pet Home Company who caught him. Those disrespectful aliens roam the galaxies, capturing random species to sell. This is contemptible. Still, there's nothing anyone can do about it. Under the gaze of a powerful space civilization, the planet you live in is trampled like ants.

On the way home, you browsed the news with your mobile phone, and found that some people searched for the man's photo and selling price on the official website, and posted it on the discussion forum. They offer to raise funds to buy him back to the planet. This is already the most likely way to redeem them to their original planet. You clicked on a link to the pet company's website. Ironically, that's a cute design with clouds and a rainbow, and a little animation that brings the pet home. The website loaded for a while, and a picture of the man was displayed. He looked at the camera with a calm expression on his face. You have no idea what they did to him.

Name: ▄▆▄▂▅▅▄▃

Price: 200000

Below is a description of the pet. You read a few words and feel so sick and horrified. There is also "More Recommendations", which introduces pets of different species, from cats, tentacles, humans to supernatural creatures.

You close the page and want to donate some money. However, you feel a cold, prickly sensation in the back of your neck.

Half a second later, as if stepping on air in the sky, you plummet.

-

Blade was more irritable than ever. This time, the target of the mission made a provocation, leaving some traces, deliberately mocking them. He then "solved" them, a little rougher than usual. The problem is, for the next three days, he was just as "rough". He even declined Silver Wolf's invitation to play a racing game together. Silver Wolf remained expressionless, indicating that she didn't care, but the atmosphere became a little depressed.

"Bladie, did you know? Elio said you're getting a pet this month."

"I don't need a pet." No doubt, that's stupid.

Kafka's eyes narrow, and smiles. She said in a certain, seductive tone. "Are you sure? Imagine getting that little kiss after a mission…kneeling down to relieve you…"

"No," he snapped, getting up and walking into the darkness.

-

"Currently scanning for physical condition-"

"Number E92730012 is in good condition. Everything is fine."

"Suggestion: Transform the nipples into a breast-feeding state, and add drugs to enhance sensitivity."

You are in a coma, two robotic arms grab your hand and stretch out, and two needles are aimed at your nipples on both sides to inject medicine. Some subtle changes are transforming your boobs.

"Hmm…" Your head shook slightly, but your eyelids were so heavy that you couldn't open them, and you could only bear the sensitivity and a little pain on your chest. The machine continued to inject the medicine without mercy, and gradually, some white milk flowed out from the flower buds, dripping on the ground, exuding a sweet smell.

-

Not this… and not this.

None of them fit.

If the other Stellaron Hunters saw Blade now, they'd think he was nostalgic about something and wouldn't bother. No one knew he was looking at the official website of Space Pet House. He has searched with keywords, but the results are still not what he wants.

He decided to go to the store in person.

-

It's been three days, maybe… five days?

You can't believe that you've been captured and sold as a pet. The store was decorated like some kind of spider web, some kind of hideous lair. Placed across from you are about thirty transparent cages of various species, including six humans. Some people try to resist like you, slapping the cage and cursing at the clerk, only to get some accusing looks from them, like they are really looking at a naughty pet. Some had given up and stayed quietly in the cage, looking at the guests curiously.

Your neck is covered with a black lace choker and a heart bell. Clean water, food and toys are placed in the cage. You can't believe it and don't want to play with those toys for cats.

When those guests visit, they always whisper which pet is better and more suitable. Among all the customers, you are impressed by a certain man. His dark blue fringe draped over his forehead, and his waist was covered with long hair. His hair dangles along with certain bandages as he walks around the store. He's… charming, in every sense of the word, but creepy, with those red eyes that wander from cage to cage and finally stare at the cage you're in. This situation lasts for tens of minutes, scanning your information and prices.

You don't know if he wants to buy you, because when the clerk asks if he needs to go further and allow him to play with you for a while, he just walks away.

-

"It's been seven days… still no one wants to buy this pet. Why…"

"Maybe we can help."

-

"No…don't! Please! Please, I'll be good!"

You plead as you struggle. The clerk still pulls down your sheer clothes, exposing your breasts and locking your hands above your head. The tears in your eyes are swirling, whimpering, thick milk flowing down the swollen breasts.

The door bell rang and two guests came in. They looked around the store. When they caught a glimpse of you, their eyes visibly lit up and they walked in your direction.

"Today's special offer, milk production anytime...?" One of the guests read out the information under your cage in a low voice - that's the first time you know what's written there. The way they look at your naked breasts seems to be on fire in you. "sounds good."

"Didn't know you were interested in that." Another guest snickered.

"Such a beautiful little thing can change my mind. I hope this time the pet will not be destroyed so quickly…"

You shudder at the implications of his words - this is a lunatic who isn't taking care of pets. what should you do? What if you were bought by this person? You may be facing a more dire situation than you are now…

There is a raging and dangerous atmosphere wandering in the store. You see that familiar face from behind the two customers. He stood behind them, but didn't seem to see them at all. He feels his crotch tighten when he notices your breasts dripping with milk.

-

He licks away any sweet milk that pervades your swollen buds, sweet, rich, and creamy. His hand is rubbing your other breast and pinching your nipple. It doesn't take much force, the milk is already squirting. Your bewildered moan turns into a scream as your lower body bounces, the fluid squirting against his cock.

In the orgasm, you stick out your tongue, address him unconsciously, and touch his palm. It's cold.

"Blade." He said his name.

“…?”

You touch his chest, where the heart is beating and echoing. A warm feeling sinks in.

I FANCY YOU (I LOVE YOU!)

— In which they spoil you

Characters - Ayato, Childe, Diluc, Heizou x fem!reader

Genre - fluff, a bit suggestive in Childe’s part

Are you really surprised that Ayato spoils you to the brim? He did this even before the two of you got together. Always finding a way to figure out what you wanted, he says it’s as a way to thank you for being his friend. And hopefully soon, more than friends. You remember always being greeted with gifts whenever the two of you would met. Flowers, jewelry, clothing, it didn’t matter what Ayato had given you, it would all be designed by him to your liking.

He didn’t want you to receive just any normal gift, he wanted to make it known that it was by him. You still remember the day Ayato had asked you to be his. I mean, how could you forget? With the way he had set up dinner for the two of you, with the surprise firework show he had planned, and all the flowers he had gotten you, it was a night you would never forget.

It got even worse when the two of you become official, ayato who would leave small gifts to you first thing in the morning, making a promise to spend the afternoon together once he had finished his duties. And of course, that only meant more spendings for the man that cherished you. Eyes stayed glued to the two of you as you walked about, gasping at how many bags the two of you carried (which was mainly stuff for you as a matter of fact).

It didn’t matter what others said about his unbelievable spending habits on the one he loved, Ayato knew that you only deserved the best. He also knew that it was a way to show others who belonged to him. So why not spend as much as he can on the one who deserves it?

Childe who never seems to run out of date ideas, how does he even come up with them? One thing though that never changes is the ungodly amount he will spend. “And? Cmon babe it’ll be fun I promise!” And oh. It was amazing. It was like an adventure for you two, the way he even surprised you with a boat for two of you to stay in made you gasp with excitement.

And of course, the little stay on this boat trip was only filled with the best of the best. One to be exact was the food, oh how amazing the food was, how did Childe even get this food? And the price? You knew he would spend a fortune just for you to enjoy the food. Yet one of the greatest joys that came with this was the fact that the both of you would cook together. You always loved it when he showed of his cooking skills, and when he allowed you to help? Gosh it only made you fall deeper for the man.

“Childe stop! You’re gonna make a mess and I’m not going to clean it up!” Currently, your boyfriend was throwing flour at you since he had proposed to make a cake. Now he has turned this into a food fight (with only him fighting). “Don’t say that [name], you know you love it when I’m messy baby.” He now had you on the kitchen counter, with him in between your legs as his tried to grab your face with his hands covered in flour. You only groaned as he managed to grab your face, your face now contained flour due to the man in-front of you. “I don’t even know why I agreed to this.” “Because you love having fun with me.” He said that as he looked deep into your eyes, a smirk now on his face.

Yet you had your own little plan, before he knew it you had grabbed a bag of flour and threw it all over him. This caused Childe to gasp out loud with you laughing like crazy. He opened his eyes with a slight annoyance until he saw you laughing. God. He loved the look on your face as you smiled and laughed so brightly. He stared at you in awe, then chuckled. “I admit you got me babe, but two can play that game.”

Who ever thought the Diluc would spoil someone to the brim? I mean yeah he had the money obviously, yet many never viewed him as one to show affection much. Unless it was you. Diluc was never the best with his emotions, or words, so with you he wanted a way to show you how he cared for you. Which would be with giving you items that he had put thought into. Unlike some, Diluc would wait until the perfect moment to gift you anything. He wanted it to show his thought and what he felt right in the moment with you.

Everything about it was romantic to the brim. You knew deep down diluc alway loved to be romantic with you, also because of how you would stare at awe of everything that he has planned. “Diluc it’s beautiful,” the scene was right out of a dream, the platter of food laying on on the long table with the room being covered in roses that reminded you of your lovers hair, fairy lights that made the place seem more intimate and cozy. It was perfect.

“If it’s for you, then I’ll make sure it’s beautiful.” God the way his words affect you, it’s insane what he does to you. “Somehow you seem to out do yourself, Luc.” You looked back at him, flashing him with the grin on your face. Now it was his turn to be flustered. Diluc loved that warm smile of yours that he fell in love with. You two shared the same passion in your eyes, looking at one another passionately.

Your lover had stepped forward, in order to get closer to you. “You flatter me too much [name]. Like it’s said, it’s you who deserves this.” He pulled you in by the waist, giving you a kiss to the top of your head. “I love you [name].” “And I to you diluc” he grabbed your hand, leading you to the table for the two of you to enjoy the dinner he has planned. Little did you know he had another surprise awaiting you in a small box he had in his pocket.

Your boyfriend always had a knack for surprising you, bad or good, Heizou always found a way. So it was odd when you found a trial of sticky notes leading towards the door of your room. None had anything written on it, only the one placed on your nightstand. “Good morning love! When you wake up, make sure to follow the trail that I set up. Then, continue with what is it to come.” At the very bottom, was the name of your boyfriend and next to it, and winking face.

After each sticky note, it would give you a new direction or place to go next. First, was the breakfast after you had awoken. The breakfast made by the one and only, heizou. Once that was done, the sticky note then instructed you to go over to the city and do your daily errands, he has said what place to head to and in what order. Whenever you got to that destination, you were immediately greeted by a staff member and given a bag. When you looked inside, you would find things that you remember telling heizou that you had wanted. So this is what he planned.

By the last sticky note you had gotten, the sun was starting to set and the moon was soon to come. You were instructed to go to Chinju forest to see your final surprise for the day. Once you got there, you saw the one who masterminded this whole plan. “You’re here! Welcome, come, let me get those for you babe.” You laughed as heizou grabbed all the bags and set them next to what seemed to be a blanket laying on the ground. It looked like it held a basket of food and goodies. He had more gifts for you.

“What’s this all about Mr.detective?” You questioned but it’s not like you didn’t appreciate what Heizou had done. “Cmon, can’t I have some fun surprising you [name]? You have to admit, it is cool the way I had set this up. Thought of this all by myself, just for you babe.” You looked away, heizou grew a grin on his face. That’s when he grabbed your hand and dragged you over to the blanket that you saw when you got here. “Look, isn’t it amazing? Especially when the sun sets the view is ten times more amazing is it not?” He wasn’t wrong, it was beautiful. “Did you plan a date for us?”

“Of course I did! It’s been a while since we’ve had time to ourselves. So I wanted to spoil my favorite girl. Enjoy yourself pretty girl.”

What is an adoptable?

An adopt is a pre-designed character that I create, and you can ‘buy’ to be able be able to use and claim as your own character. Of course, since these are splatoon based I’m not selling the concepts of splatoon, just the idea and design of the character itself.

INFO + RULES:

Once you buy the adopts, they’re yours. You’re welcome to redesign, alter, give away and/or trade as you see fit. The only thing I don’t allow is reselling for a higher price (same or below is fine).

Though these are meant to be splatoon adopts, you’re welcome to use them for any setting that you please! They’re not inherently limited to splatoon; especially the more unique characters.

The placeholder names, personality, and info are just.. placeholder/concepts! You can name them whatever you want, give them any pronouns, personality, lore, whatever! I won’t feel bad lol

Once I receive payment, I’ll send you a full size, transparent, unwatermarked image of your adopt!

I can hold them for up to a week!

If one is on hold, you can still message and ask to be next in line if whatever they’re being held for doesn’t work out.

AVAILABILITY + PRICING:

Base price for each adopt is currently $40 USD (A bit pricier than my usual ones cus I worked really hard on these ones + they're really detailed), however, you can check out some discounts at the bottom!

Also, please keep in mind that my last adopt post had an issue where I could not edit the post after posting it, so if you see this message, PLEASE check the notes to see if any have sold, as this list won't be accurate.

“SCREAMO” - ON HOLD [3/10/23] A horrorboros that decided to put their voice to use instead of filling their mouth with slime. Quit your big run, join my screamo band!

“CAROUSEL” - ON HOLD [3/11/23] After sneaking a peek at Wahoo World, this horrorboros fell in love with the aesthetic of the beasts on the carousel, and became inspired to work on some fashion... in between battles, of course.

“LITTLE PRINCE” - SOLD [Note: this is a 2 for 1, do not separate them <3 ] A cohozuna who's taken it upon themself to raise this silly little... noodle into a proper king salmonid.

“THE TOWER” - SOLD A young teen horrorboros who wants to be a stinger, not a silly booyah bomb thrower!

DISCOUNTS + DEALS

Yeah, we know this is what you’re here for!  I’m going to offer several discounts and deals, which are subject to change, and may or may not pop in and out! This is my first time trying some of this.

COMMISSION BUNDLE If you buy a character from me, you can also get a get a commission of that character for 25% off to come with it! This only applies once, and has to be worked out around the time of purchasing the character. You choose the type of commission you’d like! Commission info is here.

PASSION DISCOUNT If you do a piece of fanwork for one of these characters- come up with extensive lore, a piece of art, a piece of writing, etc- and I can tell you actually put some effort and passion into it, then you can get them for 30% off… making them $28! It doesn’t have to be anything fancy and I’m not going to judge you by how ‘good’ your work is- again, it’s only judged by passion for the character. If I can tell you genuinely enjoyed it and had fun and will love the character you get (instead of having them simply sit on a dusty shelf or resold, etc), you get the discount! If you’re worried about the work taking a while but you want to wait until it’s done to buy them, no worries! I can hold a character for up to a week for you.

BONUS LORE If you wanna shell out an extra $5, I can fully flesh out the placeholder lore for you and come up with something much more fleshed out! Names, backstory, personality, all the bells and whistles. I can also work with you to fit it into any preexisting lore or characters you might want them to be worked with! Once again, you’re welcome to change any of this- but I’ll work with ya on it to make sure it’s something you like!

TRADES I’m a bit iffy on art trades or character trades, but I’m not going to say they’re out of the question. You’re welcome to ask!

Commissions for Palestine!

I'm opening commissions to support Palestinian fundraisers. To start, I want to focus on Ezzideen's:

The organizer, Boshra, is currently doing a donation match, which Cosmo ( @blackpearlblast ) has been keeping track of on Tumblr.

The process

Donate to Ezzideen's GoFundMe.

Let Cosmo know on this post so that Boshra can match the donation (check the reblogs to make sure they're still taking donation matches).

DM me with your commission idea and a screenshot of your confirmation screen or confirmation email (I really just need to see the amount and the campaign - no need to include your name or anything)

Things I will draw

humans

furries and fantasy bipeds

robots

plant/mushroom people

plants and mushrooms

weird creatures & monsters

clothes designs

nudity that is "safe for tumblr"

Hatsune Miku/other fanart (some things I'm familiar with: BG3, HxH, BOTW/TOTK, MP100, One Piece, Dungeon Meshi, Gravity Falls, ATLA/LOK)

I can also do graphic designs/photo edits to make covers.

Things I won't draw

complicated backgrounds

gore

nudity that is not safe for tumblr

spiders (spider-inspired elements are fine but I'm not gonna use a spider as a reference picture)

What you'll get

Note: if you are paying in US dollars, the amount you pay will be slightly more than the euro amount. Commission prices are in euros to match Ezzideen's fundraiser.

You can mix and match these by price, so for instance, for €30, you could get two €15 busts or three €10 sketches, etc., instead of a full-body portrait.

These are all drawings I did for myself, so some of them are on lined paper. Your commission doesn't have to be!

€5

Post-it note portraits in pen or pencil

€10

Rough sketch portraits (traditional or digital) or Tumblr mini covers

€20

Digital color bust portraits in simpler styles or more refined pencil portraits. Add extra characters for €10 each.

€30

Busts in more time-consuming styles. Add extra characters for €20 each.

€50

Digital color full-body portraits in any style. Add extra characters for €30 each.

(these aren't quite full body but they're the best examples I have)

Some more info on the Mass Effect board game, from co-designer Calvin:

"Hi all, Calvin here, co-designer of the game. I've gathered all the frequently asked questions on social media and bgg and gathered them into some answers for you. Feel free to ask more questions if yours is not answered, and if I can answer it I will. I will be updating this as more information about the game becomes available. Release info - The release date is (hopefully) November depending on the gods of shipping - Price is confirmed, the game will be $50/£40 - The team is currently working on translation deals for 9 or so languages. More details soon. - For info on pre-orders go to https://www.modiphius.net/pages/mass-effect-signup - There are currently no plans for a collector’s edition vs standard edition - It is not crowdfunded, the game is direct to retail - "If you'd like to support the game right now, there's nothing better than going into your local FLGS and asking them if they'll stock the game when it comes out. With the vast amount of great games coming out every week, retailers rely on fans asking about the game. This helps them gauge how much to buy, the more people ask, the more buzz they know there is, the more confident they are to buy enough and the more likely there's one waiting for you on the shelf when you go in :-) That feeds up the chain; the more retailers ask their sales reps at Asmodee, the more Asmodee goes, "Oh wait, let's order more, so we have enough for all the shops". Plot - The game is set on the planet Hagalaz, early during the events of Mass Effect 3 - The players are tasked with investigating a crashed Cerberus research cruiser which could have info that contributes to War Readiness and could help stop the Reapers - The game is designed so people who have never played Mass Effect can still enjoy it. Eric hasn't played the games as much as I did so he got to do what he calls “the meathead test” on all the theming and story. - We worked with Bioware on all the plot and theming. - Yes you can do calibrations in this game Basic game info - Co-operative squad tactics - 1-4 players - Included are six 32mm minis, masc Shep, fem Shep, Liara, Garrus, Tali, and Wrex - Not many other components to keep price and complexity low - 45 minute missions - 3-5 missions per campaign - Branching paragon/renegade choices + sidequests - Enough missions to replay the campaign several times without repeats - Solo play is really fun, in fact I like all the player counts equally, which is something I’m very proud that we were able to achieve in this game - Solo play is basically multi-handing, you control more than one character. - There is no legacy aspect, the game is fully resettable - There will be new original art"

[character limit text break]

"Gameplay info - Low rules complexity, but with lots of tactical depth. We aimed for an audience of Mass Effect fans who might not know anything about board games. Board gamers should still find something to enjoy if they’re into co-op tactics. - A group that just wants to turn their brain off and blast through the game should have an easy time - But a group who wants to get the best endings, complete all the sidequests, get all the level ups will have to min-max pretty heavily - The game has relatively low randomness. Planning, prediction, and preparation are very important to avoid bad outcomes - but there’s still enough randomness to avoid AP as players try to plan out perfect turns. - Important gameplay elements include positioning and combo-ing abilities with other players. - There is a tactical map. - Players will level up their characters by performing in game actions and learn new abilities. - We got all 6 Shepard classes in there. It is one of the things I am very proud of doing. - Re: alpha gamers, Eric and I do not believe it is the designer’s job to solve for jerks at your gaming table. Obviously we have designed the game so that every player has something to contribute and there’s plenty of info so that it’s hard to track. But we also recommend having adult conversations with your table partners.
