#so sorry for infodumping lmao

This isn't a request, but what inspired your Ocs into existence? Mine was that I wanted more people in Rocky's corner! So, I gave him a mom friend named Sadie Churchill or also known as Lucille Grace. She's known as the sweet motherly and unsuspected cleaning lady at the little Daisy Cafe/Lackadaisy, the unknown Siren Killer to the law and the crazy witch from a coven, killing all the people that were involved in the murder of her husband and baby to her victims. Along side an angry spirit known as a Wraith with a common enemy as her. Then, there's also the significant other to Rocky! Clarity Sable, Sedgewick's niece. Who is also a part of the same coven as Sadie. No, Sedgewick doesn't know about this. All he knows is that his niece was sent to live with him at 13 for reasons and she's 20 now.

That's so cool! I'll be explaining below. It's very long, whoops.

For me, it was mostly for fun? And then I got really into it. The girlfriends I mentioned before, Lavinia and Yvaine, are just my oc's as Lackadaisy characters. And then I kind of just had this thought of 'Rocky doesn't have any parental figures...Might as well make Lavinia and Yvaine his parents lmao'. I thought it was funny.

The twin's were really just an excuse to have more doctor characters. I have names for them now! They are of Japanese origin, Rin and Minoru, and because they moved to the U.S. at a young age they had to change them. Wren, was close enough to Rin, and Moreno, close enough to Minoru. They also had this little sister on her way, their mother was 3 months pregnant with her at the time. Originally before they moved her name was going to be Emiko, it then changed to Emily shortly after.

Wren was in training to become a nurse back in WW2 and when she came back home she was rather...prickly. She died due to being involved with a deal gone wrong with a gang and Moreno was left to take her place, quite literally. Since then Moreno had to study extensively about medical practices to really impersonate her. Grief was what motivated him. Atlas May found him and later employed him.

Then comes around my fifth character. He's Russian and officially named Anastasiy Baladin. He was originally going to be a buff lady. Not much going on with him except he was basically disowned by his family shortly after an incident. He has this really large scar that runs up and down his spine widening at the center of his back. Like the shape of a diamond. I was going to push him to be Rocky's love interest because I thought it would funny if Rocky fell for someone tall and intimidating lmaooo

I think I'm going for it anyway because I still think it would be funny.

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

[blistering-typhoons]

please can you tell us a bit more about your ocs? i am Enthralled by the snippets youve shared so far they seem rlly cool

*INHALE*

ok but for real i dont have much other than a summary of them that consists of a text i sent my friend (shoutout bubble) and some INCREDIBLY stupid character bullet points i will put under the cut sksjsk

i've only had them for a while but they genuinely keep me up at night-

anyways i am so sorry for how truly cringe these character refs are but they make me laugh lmao

fuck the monarchy unless its a silly guy you made up <333

Girl what did Arthur do in the legends

He got Morgana pregnant with baby Mordred

[nelyoslegalteam]

please tell me about your dnd campaign, stranger

hi hi hi hi hi hi hi do you have any idea how happy i am to get this ask. you have activated my trap card this is going to be SO long i am sorry in advance but The People Need To Know About My D&D Campaign.

so we’re playing in Adventures in Middle Earth, which is. supposedly a Tolkienverse-specific 5e mod but frankly it’s robust enough to fully count as its own system if you ask me. like it has its own guidebooks, character sheets, premade adventures, and features mechanics that 5e just straight up doesn’t have. it’s like if 5e were actually good. anyway. may i present to you:

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ The Mirkwood Campaign ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

so what, exactly, happened in the intervening years between the events of the Hobbit and LOTR? we did, BAYBEEEEEE!!

we are:

Murdoc, a hobbitish warden (adventures in middle earth’s version of a bard), played by yours truly!! raised in the shire and eventually moved out to the middle of mirkwood by an eccentric uncle who idolizes bilbo baggins, murdoc is the heir apparent to the brandybuck family inn. unfortunately for murdoc, he has developed extremely nasty prophetic dreams and is now burdened with the ability to see the future! a skill that has definitely left him with a very normal relationship to his new day job of Being An Adventurer!! i am unhinged and have uh. Talked About Him A LOT If You Care To Read This, but he is full of murderous rage and also tea and loves his friends very much. he also, more recently, surrendered himself as bait to the great werewolf plaguing mirkwood, trusting completely that his friends would come and save him. he was right. they did. and he lost his right hand in the process. :)

Ríros, an elven warrior (aime version of a fighter), played by @jaz-the-bard. tall, buff, sunshiny, and an absolute himbo. ALSO loves his friends VERY much and this is KEY. unfortunately for ríros, he is a redhead, and that does cause problems in a world where maedhros feänorion once existed. (stranger, i am so sorry if you are not one of my silmarillion regulars and did not know what you were getting into by asking me, a silmarillion blog, to tell you about my d&d campaign, and now have no idea who or what the fuck i am talking about). ríros is notably not maedhros though! he isn't even noldorin!! maedhros is a ghost who lives in his sword (and who is also played by jaz)! and who also maybe kind of accidentally possessed him one time, if you wanna read this here for a better explanation of ríros mostly but also all of the above.

The Bearer, a human slayer (aime barbarian), played by @thymo-leonta. grumpy old man. unwilling father to all these young and stupid adventurers he’s been stuck with. are they all adults? yeah sure. they’re still Children. we are making him go grey. also full of murderous rage. looks like he's running from his perfectly normal, happy, loving family. is actually acutely aware of the fact that he has been doomed to die. killed the werewolf that took murdoc's hand. as a consequence, became the werewolf that took murdoc's hand. has two dogs, both named Dog <3

Déorwyn, a human wanderer (aime ranger), played by @shadowkat2000. resident party Horse Girl. a fellow sufferer of The Bad Prophetic Dreams^TM. because this is not quite unfortunate enough for her, déorwyn Hears Dead People. apparently our GM gives her extra secret bonus ghosts that the rest of us do not hear or know about! this being the source of her foresight makes her pretty distinct from murdoc, despite them both seemingly suffering from the same thing, in ways that i have LOTS of emotions about. her horse is named windrider and Their Bond Is Unbreakable uwu

and @potatoobsessed999, our obligatorily Extremely Ominous GM!

(we are also occasionally joined by Ioreth, a human treasure hunter (aime rogue), whose player is unfortunately not on tumblr. a founding member of the party, has earned the epithet The Feral, mostly loves to hang out in the woods by herself, look for shiny things, and cause chaos. as a beorning, she CAN astral-project herself as a bear. it rules. once got possessed by a ringwraith, probably holds the most compassion for characters who have been through similar out of any of us. is usually covered in mud.)

initially in the employ of radagast the brown, a tenure that did not last due to murdoc's insistence that saruman is evil (i mean. yeah lol.), we're a group of adventurers traveling mirkwood with the aim to defend it as sauron slowly gathers power. we are

very

successful at the Fighting And Killing Things part of this

we specialize in:

lugging unconscious bodies through the woods!

lugging DEAD bodies through the woods!

lugging EACH OTHER'S bodies through the woods!

lugging things through the woods in general!

setting things on fire (usually murdoc's fault)!

making fun of our enemies so bad they just give up!

INCLUDING the ringwraiths (shoutout to ríros)!

serving annoying politicians subpoenas!

murdering them like the one time it was totally justified we promise!

accidentally convincing the council of mirkwood that murdoc's inn is a small fiefdom!

being generally cursed (except for ríros) (he just looks that way)!

HIRE US to take care of whatever problems are happening in YOUR local cursed forest! wights? patricidal politicians? generally awful politicians? sauron? the same fucking werewolf again? it's definitely just tuesday to us!

you can count on

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ the union of murdoc ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

anyhow, jaz is absolutely wonderful and has written several fics of our party, including (but not limited to):

Cooking Contest for the Free Peoples, based on an in-game conversation about beating sauron at competitive cooking,

In Which There Are More Ghosts, which is not canon to game but is in fact Extremely Representative of the exact kind of nonsense we get up to (campaign's haunted),

A Stranger With a Friend's Face, a canon to game horror story of how ríros got slightly possessed, the party acquired maedhros, and neither murdoc nor déorwyn managed to explain the presence of the vengeful ghost residing in murdoc's scepter and bullying him in his dreams to any of the rest of the party right up until this very moment,

and this wonderful drabble from the horror arc in which we were isolated inside of a haunted longhouse. complete with party memes here.

there's more, and i am going to a.) pick on jaz to add them if they can find them, and b.) pick on my beloved friends in general to Please Help Me Infodump About our Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Murdoc, the Bearer, Déorwyn, Ríros, Ioreth]

[valerieality]

WAIT I GET A TAG I LOVE THIS !!!! u must tell me all about ur fantasy dr now omg

RAAAAH OKAY. Im working on a Notion thingy that I'll link when its "done", and i loath everyday that i havent figured out the magic system yet, but heres the super basic outline:

- Its a european medieval fantasy setting, magic and mythical creatures and such (the only humanoids are like. Elves and Humans though, so not quite high-fantasy)

- I live with my adopted dad + mentor, Cassius, on this collection of floating islands called the Peregrine Islands

- Dragons are a fairly big part of the world but are severely under researched, so we work in a government funded program to study dragons. but this usually means just dicking around with them lol

- Gods are real (though not all powerful). the two primary Gods are Celia of the Moon and her sister Seraphis. Seraphis is commonly known as the sun goddess but shes technically a god of twilight and dawn. Celia's followers are all very different with different styles of worship but generally Celia sends signs through dreams, where as Seraphis dormant because every few hundred years she makes these big "miracles" and exhausts all her power

- The 9 levels of hell are real and each level has a legendary weapon associated with it. In order to keep the 9 Hells closed, the weapons are sealed away in each of the 9 capitals of the world. Eventually one of them (I dont remember which weapon it was my b <\3) gets stolen by this shapeshifter mf and pawned off to pirates but idk where that plotline is going juuust yet 👀

- im Super Cool and also Arospec in this reality so in my dr i naturally have a love triangle goin on 🤘 plan is polyamory but we'll see how it goes lol. One is a boy-next-door type from an old-western-style town me + Cassius visit sometimes, other is from an arctic tribe with these cool seaglass beaches i found on pinterest and immediately adopted into the universe jdbsksbsj

- yeah generally Stuff Is Going On LMAO but 99% of my time in my DR is me going on research trips, special requests from the princess, and housekeeping for dragons lol. eventually im gonna have to write a wholeass BOOK on them and even defining what a dragon IS is going to be such a task oml. but i <3 my work

- other animals like jackalopes and unicorns and phoenixes and merfolk will exist for sure for sure for sure, but ive always been autistic about dragons and that WILL NOT change there

- My riding dragon is a pretty common one but hes my bestest friend ever ever everrrr. Hes an orange + white feathered wyvern called Solstice and I'd die for him a thousand times over. His species typically keep to family groups in these like, year-round autumn forests near the peregrine islands? but during certain times of year theres like. 30-50 of them hanging out in fields to even out the food sources yk. without the camouflage of the forests they just rely on strength in numbers :] i have to go every year but honestly its a vibe. theyre a very docile dragon lol

- Cassius' riding dragon is a very serious girlie called Juno !!! Cassius worships Celia of the Moon very dutifully so even his dragon is moon themed lol. Juno is like a SUPER DUPER rare kind of dragon where they have a really long life span because their eggs almost never hatch. they only hatch on eclipses, and theyre super fun too because if they hatch during a Lunar Eclipse you get the horned variant (Juno), and if they hatch during a Solar Eclipse you get the frilled variant :D!!!! I gotta sit down and properly design them one day but AAAA

- OH Familiars also exist here!! they basically work as like a reservoir of magic if that makes sense? The spell it takes to get one is super tedious and draining but Cassius helped me with like, support spells so i managed. Familiars basically either can double the strength of one spell, or allow you to cast an additional one. They can take on basically any shape so long as its mobile because magic isnt stationary. Mine is a blue tiger cub named Tybalt/Tibby (Hes based on my favourite stuffed animal lol). most familiars are semi-tangible and pretty small - Tibbys about the size of a small rabbit. Familiars natively make like. Wind chime/glass clinking noises :3

[devilcat3d]

*summons you, but gets nervous cause ur attractive and infodumps to you instead of what i initially planned*

the ground where you drew the pentagram starts to glow, and fire starts to spawn around it. you look upon your ritual with excitement in your eyes, the summoning appears to have worked! soon youll get to meet an all powerful demon, one youve read about in all the old books that are strewn about the floor. you lick your lips, since you read this demon is known for its lustful nature, youre very excited to do certain- things with her. what will you make her do first, you wonder? maybe youll make her get on her knees and use her throat, mke her choke and gag until she cant breathe... maybe youll take her to the nearest bed and rail her brains out... ohh the options are endless, and the thoughts are all running rampant through your head. finally after a minute or so, a shadowy figure starts to rise out of the pentagram, and it is accompanied by a gust of black smoke billowing out from the center. you are hit with a flash of light, blinding you, that forces you to look away. after a second the light disperses, and you look up anxiously to see the sexiest, most beautiful woman you have ever laid eyes on. her skin is red, her body is to die for and she is wearing a skimpy little outfit. she has a set of absolutely gorgeous horns, that must add at least 7 inches to her total height. she makes you seem so small and weak just looking upon her, you start to get nervous that maybe she'll be the one using you. she looks around the room with curiosity, before finally setting her gaze on you. she opens her mouth to speak and her voice is like an angels, ironically.

"well well well. another mortal. let me guess, you want something from me dont you?" she seems annoyed slightly. "i was in the middle of something important you know. so. what is it?"

"i uh um please um can we- uh" you stutter.

"spit it out human. i dont have all day." she says in a commanding tone.

"um well you see i- i want to- uh well did you know that in the original banjo kazooie game theres only 5 colors of jinjos but in the second game there are 10 colors and the grey ones are extinct?"

she looks confused. "...what? what are you talking about?"

you anxiously let out another tidbit of autistic infodumping. "in banjo kazooie when you use the mumbo transformations sometimes he'll turn you into a washing machine and joke about how he's going to wash his clothes with you..."

"huh wow. thats quite interesting actually. its cute how anxious you are cutie. wanna have sex?"

and then you get to fuck a hot autistic demon girl because you got anxious and started infodumping. love wins!!!!

[lumiereandcogsworth]

kinda random but it’s something I think about often with robselle soooooo what colors do Adam and Belle love seeing each other in? And clothes, if they like anything specific. I know being king and queen they must have a pretty extensive wardrobe so 👁️

hiiii i’m sorry i kept forgetting to answer this?? BUT OH WHAT AN EXQUISITE QUESTION!!!!

okay okay okay okay so the thing is. fashion is adam’s number one special interest. he knows EVERYTHING about it. think miranda priestly from the devil wears prada. he’s That Bitch. (i want to write an au sometime where adam is miranda and belle is andy. and it deviates at some point obviously so that they fall in love. But Anyway.) adam loves fashion and knows alllll the latest trends (and sets a lot of them himself, since he is, THE KING ! )

it really worked out perfectly because belle doesn’t care about fashion at all. obviously she grew up with Very Limited Options but she still just hardly gives it a moment’s thought. which means that adam gets to pick out all her outfits and be very excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

belle definitely has her limits, and there are certain dresses with Too Much Frill or jewelry that’s Way Too Much where she has to pull adam back down to earth for a minute. but he looooves to buy her dresses. he’s so ridiculous. i have this one wip that i wanna finish so badly, basically belle is trying on all these new dresses and she’s one by one coming out of her dressing room getting more exhausted by the process of taking them on and off (With Plumette’s Help Course !!!!) but then she sees adam holding baby renée and they’re both greeting her like :D and she can’t help but smile and do a twirl for them afjskdk 🥹🤧

anyway my point is adam often picks out their outfits so they can match, at least early on. belle gets the hang of it and finds her own flavor of dress for sure, but sometimes she still goes to adam to ask for his opinion and he just explodes very autistically about it. He Is So Happy To Give His Fashion Opinion. BUT OKAY SO YOUR QUESTION YEAH—

i’ve had the headcanon for a while, and i don’t know why, but i think belle Loves to see adam in red. i think it may be because it’s kind of rare? he mostly prefers cool tones, blues and greens and purples, so on the rare occasion he’s wearing red, belle just really wants to take it off of him?????? 🔥 lmao

in general, i think adam likes seeing belle in everything. (and nothing at all 😉). but he notices that she really likes floral print, so he capitalizes on that shit and gets her A Lot of floral dresses !!!!!! and he gets lots of floral suits to match as well.

i also think he definitely has a soft spot for when she wears yellow…. since it reminds him of their first dance 🥹🥹🥹

she still has ✨💛That Dress💛✨ in her wardrobe and i have ANOTHER wip about their teenage daughter juliette coming in one evening when belle is going through her wardrobe and adam is sitting in there reading (and giving his unsolicited opinions about every dress belle pulls out) (also they just can’t not be in the same room if they are able) (also neurodivergent body doubling!!!!! belle was distracted all day until he said he’d sit in there with her) BUT ANYWAY UHH!!!!!!! juliette sees ✨💛The Dress💛✨ and she’s like whoah i haven’t seen you wear this :”0 and adam and belle just LOOK‼️ at each other and belle says she hasn’t worn it in years, it was the dress she wore for her first dance with her father. and adam smiles and says “it was the dance that started it all.” and they’re both looking at each other like 🥹🥹🥹 and juliette’s like “Should I Leave, Or…” afjskd no i’m kidding but belle does say that juliette should try it on !! that if anyone should wear it it should be their daughters !!!! but it’s still in the wip phase, alas 😪

anyway, hello? did i even answer your questions. belle loves seeing adam in red, that’s very important. and adam loves fashion and loves dressing his wife (and undressing his wife!!!!! 😉😉😉) okay i’m gonna go i need to stop the horny jokes goodbye

actually rereading your ask, on a last note!!!! they DO have an extensive wardrobe!!!! i think one of the hardest things for adam to deal with when they got married and belle moved into his chambers was that he was full on using Both Dressing Rooms to store all his clothes 😭🤧 and now he has to give one up????? he does, of course, but reorganizing all his clothes into one room was both annoying AND ALSO THRILLING BECAUSE EEEEEE SORTING!!!!!!!! i think when he needs to clear his head he goes to his dressing room and reorganizes his clothes. you know i should really make a post about fashion being his special interest just in general because i clearly have a lot of thoughts on it. what was even my point here? OH the dressing rooms. yeah so they both have a dressing room (with an adjoining door between them) BUT adam does still keep some of his excess suits in belle’s room because let’s face it, he’s always gonna have more clothes than her afjsdkj 😌✨

[ilovettrpgs]

rip Magnus Carter you would have loved causing problems for the general public and also not having mad cow syndrome

[allegorism]

thinking again of that poll about woobified characters in which dimitri fireemblem was included and. tbh, i don't even think he was That woobified. like, sure, people tend to focus on his possible romance with byleth and reduce everything to "Woman(TM) that has to fix the Angsty Main Character", but the game KIND OF leans into that. that aside, the fandom has always taken more seriously anything that happened to dimitri (and his arc) than to edelgard for example.

anyway, the real woobified characters of fe3h are claude and ferdinand. claude is woobified to the point that some people truly believe that what claude does in few3h is ooc for him because he's not the "haha, funny guy that represents the neutral path" that everyone thought him to be (and that he never was). and ferdinand is one of those cases in which a character has soooo many traits that make him autistic coded by accident, so ofc he Had to be a "soft lovely uwu boy who could do no harm", when he's the one character in few3h that says that he will kill shez if they had betrayed them. shez, who is a person who. yk. he has known for years.

[sedgewick-gayble]

oh btw quick question could any creole/cajun people who are familiar with lackadaisy comment on it's portrayal of nico and serafine savoy bc one of my friends pointed out things they thought were kind of weird but none of us are like. qualified to tell if theyre actually misportraying cajun/creole/black people and all of that so um thank you 👍

[chloelouygo]

can i gently ask for a little bit of info about your ocs? what are they like? :3

AAAA the gentle ask, you know how to get to me 😌💜 Kayden (they/he, bi, grey eyes, teal hair, 26 y/o) was the first character I started to flesh out in my head, they've all been through so many iterations in my mind but they were the first one who came to me this time around ig?? They're a complete golden retriever, a happy go lucky lil baby, a little menace, and such good fun to be around! They're bilingual (French/English), a complete slut (affectionate-) and unironically love girlypop from the mid 2000s. A vegan, anti-capitalist punk who goes out every night, but can't sleep alone. Loves classic literature and is definitely smarter than he acts sometimes. Very much in love with Zabeth, though he'd not admit it. 💙 Playlist

Alix (he/him, bi, blue-green eyes, red hair 26 y/o) is Kayden's best friend, the pair met at uni and quickly realised they balanced eachother out well. He's a black-cat, sterotypical "friend's-older-brother-is-a-dealer" type guy, looks so grumpy but would do anything for his sister and bestie, and will absolutely beat you up if you look at him wrong. But he's a sweetie underneath❤❤ Inseparable from Zabeth, was a father-figure to her growing up as their parents weren't around, and cherishes her dearly. Is an atrocious cook, swears in every sentence, and is probably high at any given moment. Playlist

Zabeth (Elizabeth) (she/her, bi, blue-green eyes, purple hair, 25 y/o) is my babygirl💜 Alix's baby (by like, a year-) sister, and Kayden's flatmate, she's a long suffering sweetie of their antics, helping clean up their messes. Very much in love with Kayden, though she'd not admit it (notice anything?-). Cares for her stupid brother endlessly and has the best time being the apple of his eye💜 Loves trashy TV, animals and plants, is so excited to move out of an apartment just so she can have a garden to nurture. Playlist

They all dye their hair together once a month in a ridiculous ritual that uses all the hot water up; they all hang out whenever they can and go to gigs or just get stoned together at home; they all call eachother silly nicknames which would never ever fly if anyone else tried to use them lmao

[daz4i]

since idk if i'll actually turn this into a fic (if i do, i'll clean it up, change things to have capital letters n shit, and ofc add a proper beginning and end lol) but for now have a part of what i wrote bc why not

i'll also explain some of the terms and background under the cut so we're all on the same page, if you're interested 🫡

ok you can skip this if you prefer and just read it as is, i'll add some mark to signify where the actual fic starts!

pandora = the planet at the core of the borderlands series. a bit of a wasteland, tho in bl2 there are other areas as well (lots of ppl don't like it but eh it works with what i need for this story, so)

hyperion = a company in the universe mining pandora for resources. originally, its manager wanted to wipe everyone on pandora bc he thinks they're disgusting and it'll be heroic to do so, but here i decided the owner is fitzgerald and he's just mining pandora for monetary reasons (and. doing other things i will elaborate on if anyone's interested)

opportunity = a city built on pandora by hyperion. in the game it's not yet finished, so i decided to go with it here too. you drive a really long road to reach it, from an area called "the highlands", filled with monsters and bandits, tho this area has a lot of hyperion work in it as well. might touch on it as the story goes along but not yet

threshers nomad bruiser (so you know what each is meant to look like hehe. otherwise bandits are Just Some Guys)

other thing you might need to know: guns in the universe are manufactured by different companies. bandit guns look like they're built from scrap parts. also, guns can have elements to them, and one of them is fire 👀

tw for violence, death, implied cannibalism

background: kunikida is a hyperion worker who never left his home planet or hyperion's lunar base before, now sent on a mission in opportunity. nothing big, just meet an investor there and watch how the building process is going. on his way there, in the highlands, he passes a bandit village built inside a high ceiling cave, some of its houses build on its walls, and he spots the bandits trying to get to a little girl standing at the entrance of one of the higher cabins. kunikida tells the driver to stop the car. dodging threshers and shooting them in the eyes till they leave him alone, he makes his way towards the scene. 

"leave her alone," he tells the bandits.

they leer at him, faces half covered by masks. a bigger one - a nomad - waiting on the ground and holding a shield speaks, "we found her first. come back later for the leftovers if you really want a piece." 

the girl at the top sounds shaky as she says, "y-you're not getting any piece of me! just go away!" 

a bandit tries to grab her leg, and she stomps on his forearm with her other one. a small crack sound is heard and the bandit drops from the ladder into the shallow waters below, yelling in pain.

"you there!" she turns her attention to kunikida, "you're hyperion, aren't ya? go on, take me back to opportunity, or... or I'll never forgive you!" 

kunikida squints, but her recognition of his clothes is enough to get him moving. he is here for a mission, after all, and it seems she might be related to it somehow. 

he dives and kicks the nomad's legs under the shield. as the nomad hits the ground, kunikida uses the same shield to jump on as a boost to get near the other bandits. he uses the butt of his pistol to hit one of them in the head, and shoots another in the leg. 

there are three bandits left, but fighting the threshers beforehand emptied his ammo. soon, they will surround him. 

"here, take this!" he hears from above him, and something small hits him on the head. he yelps but grabs it - a package of pistol rounds. the girl at the top looks at him pleadingly.

he reloads his weapon, and aims at the other three. one, another shot in the leg. two, in the shoulder. three, in the hip. they fall to the ground. 

"those were probably all of them," he says, "you can come down now. I'll bring you back to the city." 

"mister, watch out!" he hears the girl call right as large, muscular arms wrap around his neck. a bruiser is holding him in a chokehold. 

"you think you're gonna waltz in here and take what's ours? nuh-uh. maybe we should add some hyperion scum to our dinner tonight!" 

kunikida tries his hardest to grab at the arms holding him, thrashing and kicking, but to no avail. his first mission on pandora, and he hadn't even made it to his objective, nor save the girl. he didn't even know her name. 

"hey, asshole!" a yell echoes in the cave, and then a gunshot. the smell of burning flesh hits kunikida's nose before the bruiser's screams reach his ears. 

the arms around him let go and he inhales deeply. the smell is awful, but he's grateful for the air back in his lungs. 

he hears someone go down the ladder, then little steps through the water around him. "mister, are you okay?" 

he looks up, and there's the girl looking at him worryingly. 

"yes. yes, I'm fine. thank you." he stands up and straightens himself. "what's your name, girl?" 

"aya."

"i see. and tell me, aya," he raises his voice - "what the hell are you doing out here by yourself in a goddamn bandit village?!" 

"hey, i didn't come here on purpose!" she yells right back, then lowers her voice. "i was just… wandering around. i came here with my dad and got bored, so i started walking on the bridge -" she motions to the big bridge they were standing under, the long drive to opportunity - "and threshers tried to grab me, so i ran here. i didn't know there were people here until i heard them yelling about how delicious I'd be," she recalls, her horror clear on her face. 

kunikida softens at her story. "you walked all the way here?"

she nods.

"what did you shoot, to…" he motions to the now burnt bandit at their feet, "do that?"

aya holds up a little red gun, clearly not hyperion-made. "i found it in the cabin. i think they made it themselves, it kind of smells like gasoline and piss." 

“leave it here. we don’t know if it’s safe.”

“hell no! i found it, it’s mine now.”

“you-” he groans, “fine. but let me keep it safe for now until we can find someone to fix it up into something better.” 

“promise you’ll give it back?” she raises an eyebrow. 

kunikida gritted his teeth. “as soon as i find you, i will give it back, yes. but please only use it in self defense.”

“aw, fine.” she frowned, but handed him the gun anyway. “what’s this about finding me? i’m coming with you!”

---

future plans if i ever continue: they go back to opportunity. the investor is aya's dad. he suspects he hurt his daughter somehow, and pulls strings to get kunikida fired. now stuck on pandora, kunikida tries his best to survive. aya joins him - running away bc her dad is shitty and kunikida DID promise to give her back her gun (also he was just nicer to her than most people she met since coming to this planet), and together they roam the planet, fighting monsters and bandits, and uncovering some of the horrors hyperion commits. also, at some point they meet the rest/part of the ada, whose stories i will figure out at some point lol. i do plan to make the person kunikida goes to to fix aya's gun to be one of them but i'm not sure who yet 🤔

anyway. hope that if you actually read this you enjoyed and i might've even gotten you interested in borderlands :P mwah 🖤🖤🖤

New follower here, if u wanna, tell me about ur ocs i want to know everythin about siso and emery go wild i wanna know everything (if ur willing to tell)

EDIT JUL6 2023: these r largely outdated and/or changed !!!!

ANOOOOOON tysm for this mwah (⁠ノ⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠)⁠ノ

siso and emery are my one piece ocs !! they're mother and child basically, estranged up until wci where they reunite after 10 years of separation

siso is NOT a strawhat, just a major ally (enies lobby + marineford + punk hazard → wano)

this follows a timeline wherein yamato escapes onigashima pre-timeskip after siso washes up on onigashima one day, frees him from the exploding cuffs, and they basically explore the world together

gonna be very long so i'm putting it under the cut

emery: fishman, formerly part of whitebeard's crew before leaving (on good terms). she has complete mastery over the Voice Of All Things which pushed her to find people like her and form her own crew, the aegis pirates. they dominated the south blue, and after literally witnessing siso's birth and adopting the child, moved to paradise once roger died and the great pirate era began. personality wise, her motto is "if someone helps to you, go all out with gratitude. if someone hurts you, go all out with revenge".

siso: you know how much the sea plays a role in the narrative right? yeah. that's basically siso. he's the human embodiment of the sea. and i know how overpowered that sounds, but trust me, he's just some guy!!!! i am so serious

backstory......complicated.! wait for their wikis ^_^

trivia timeeeee (siso only, emery is still fairly new and i haven't had enough showers to think abt her character yet)

・。.・.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・

siso

is genderfluid, but only uses he/him pronouns

6'7 hunk of a bear.....he was already 5'7 at 15, had a growth spurt from 6'5 to his current height during the timeskip. he's built like a fat heavyweight guy (healthy fat, not obese or overweight). hairy all over except his face and thighs. his hands are as big as chopper's head

i KNOW that isn't very tall in the one piece universe, but keep in mind that the unaturally tall characters are usually infamous pirates/marines and he's spent (almost) all his life blending in with normal people

cringefail. can and will cry crocodile tears in front of children and scam good-natured people to get what he wants. will bring out his pathetic/lazy side so people would look down on him only to surprise them with all of his lovecraftian loser energy and laugh when everyone else thinks theyre going mad

quite literally incapable of lying—not out of guilt, but of laziness. why bother lying to someone when the depths of the ocean will swallow them whole someday and show them truths they cannot comprehend? either say the truth, keep quiet, or kill them. works like a charm!

has no sense of duty or moral obligation, much to his and everyone else's detriment. he will do and not do things based on how much fun he thinks he'll have, then complain and sulk and be generally unhelpful when wrong until he gets off the task.

odd-job man! used to be a pirate (aegis at 0-16 y/o, donquixote at 16-18 y/o) then decided to become nomadic and lay low at places where marines are prohibited (19-24 y/o) up until the year the strawhats debuted as pirates

siso's reasons for being Heroic and saving those he loves are not simply "i love you and i care about you" but more like "you're the most fun i've had in my life so who the fuck do those bitches think they are to take my happiness away from me"

has a casual manner of speaking and writing, but not so much as slang or informal. he just doesn't care all that much about honorifics and respect in formal spaces EXCEPT if he holds any personal reverence for the person he's talking to (i.e. robin)

deeply, earnestly, respects robin, even going so far as to bow, offer his seats, and say "po" and "opo" to her (filipino honorifics), even if she's just 4 years his senior. robin is like. the oden to his yamato except no kinnie stuff.....the burning of ohara and robin surviving it really moved him and made siso view her as his inspiration and light in a world so needlessly cruel

↑ also the reason why he even met the strawhats in the sea train to begin with, because he heard that robin was in danger and rushed to help

likewise—deeply, earnestly, hates zoro, but his hatred is not born from malice or ill will, but from feelings of helplessness too overwhelming to process. there stands the man who is his exact opposite, who bases his entire existence on his role as protector just to fulfill a promise to a friend long gone and to a crew too dear to lose. reckless, self-sacrificing people like him who are consumed by guilt and duty are fated to die in the most painful ways possible and siso doesn't want that, he wants zoro to live long and to fucking take care of himself, but he's helpless. he wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense into him—you'll never be the greatest because your standard of greatest is a desire too grand even for the sea to grant, i don't want to be the one that will bury you in the end, fucking listen to me—but it's no use, really. all siso can do is stand back and watch zoro slowly kill himself for the people he loves. and he hates him for that

WOAG sorry that was long . this was meant to be sillayyyy (head in hands)

has a complicated relationship with sanji. on one hand, sanji's dream in finding the all blue washed away a deep-rooted despair in him and reignited his hope in becoming whole again and finding that lost part of himself, so he has high hopes from the cook and admires him. on the other, he's just so fucking weird around him. amorous to the point of being condescending whenever siso identifies as a woman. throws his used cigarettes into the sea. fucking pathetic loser of a human man. smells like uncooked fish. has a crush on him that he tries so desperately hard to hide but fails because siso doesn't lie and he can sense when others do. again, smells like uncooked fish.

like seriously what is up w u sanji-kun........stop glaring at me ur sweating thru ur pants. i can see ur bulge. stop (siso, probably)

is in a qpr with yamato!!! i call it a qpr because although you can technically classify their relationship as romantic since they kiss/pda/make-out alot, but it's a little more queer and arospec than that. siso is very conflicted with human labels and yamato grew up loveless so they're experiencing All This for the first time

literally got each other's backs 24/7. they travel together 99% of the time by ocean current or by riding sea kings—siso is responsible in keeping yamato dry and away from the seawater, yamato is responsible for keeping siso's cringefail ass away from physical harm

they don't travel together all the time though, as in both times siso appear in enies lobby/sabaody yamato isn't with him, and yams only debuts in punk hazard after the aokiji vs doflamingo vs smoker encounter

one day sanji will be welcomed in the qpr and turn it into a polycule. idk how though. maybe when she's less emotionally constipated (takes a dramatic drag from my fake cigarette)

aaaaaand that's all for now ^_^ i don't want this 2 be too long . i'll make a separate post for sisos relationships with the other strawhats teehee

I have to say! working on the ita dub tag has showed me that indeed, this show has more differences in adaptation than I expected, even if I still find most stuff is the same. it's really fun for me to find and compare.

I was reading up on other internet posts about changes in keroro, and someone mentioned a clip in episode 23. I had no idea there was a change here!

Since gundam and its lore are pretty much unknown in italy, it's... fairly understandable they'd try to omit them. But the way they went about changing this scene is interesting to me because it still works in the context, even if it's like... flat out wrong in the context of gundam.

dialogue is as follows

"what are you saying? I'm the original!"

"decide who stays, the rest goes!"

"it's incredible, unheard of, a true heresy!! do you see the red star on the helm and this yellow star? they don't have it, and I do! the original (authentic) robot has the pointy helmet, but the imitation that's a knockoff doesn't have it! have I been sufficiently clear??"

"who cares about this stupid stuff?" "yeah, and the pointy helmet is useless anyway!" "QUIET, YOU DON'T HAVE THE STARS!!!"

"hands off!" "don't touch it! this is my stuff! and this is my house! get lost!"

"sergeant keroro?"

"I'm almost tempted to kick out all of them."

So obviously that's not a knockoff, he's specifically referencing Char's model against the other common one. But speaking as someone who just watched four eps of the OG gundam after not knowing anything about it for my whole life... I wouldn't have gotten that. So? I mean... obviously it sucks they removed the references to gundam this way, but I understand why.

And they do start mentioning gundam by name from s2... which, I think I've never seen on tv, actually, because a post mentioned that they reintegrated the eyecatch from s2, with a dubbed phrase by keroro, but I don't remember that. Fascinating, I'm gonna post the eyecatch in a sec.

And like. I don't know, I think it's kinda smart to turn it into a "real vs knockoff" scene, because those are indeed fake copies of keroro he's battling against anyway, so it still works? and when the average quality of adaptation truly has me finding scenes that LOSE ALL SENSE because the people in charge didn't care... I can appreciate this for what it did. I guess it is similar to them removing the mention to Amuro and Tem (look at me knowing their names now...) and substituting it with another joke that works in context. I appreciate the effort to... put SOMETHING there, you know??

Other stuff... apparently the jpn dub doesn't call her Angol Mois all the time... just Mois. And it seems thankfully the crush Tamama has for Keroro is mostly untouched... so they say. I'll see about that. Though I must admit it's really obvious so far.

WAIT ONE LAST DETAIL I READ ABOUT. APPARENTLY!!! in one episode that's an homage to magical girls, keroro says a magic formula that in the original is a series of mobile suit model names. obviously, that wouldn't have made sense to an italian audience, and you wanna know what it was changed to? guess. take ANY guess.

wrong. you guessed wrong, because they referenced Ojamajo Doremi instead. Well, the italian version of her magic formula. (she usually says "Magi Magia Doremi!" instead of "pirika pirilala popolina peperuto" and according to this post he says "Magi Magia Magi!". I'm honestly dead... the adaptations... they're communicating...) And I'm not even surprised because doremi at that time was quite popular to the audience that would've watched keroro (kids). And honestly fuck everyone and everything, this was done for me... that's my top 3 favorite anime. Damn. Ok that's all.

Hiii I just finished reading your soul eater au and i really like the conflict that you’ve already kinda given Ren and Martyn it’s really interesting.

Does it mean that like if Ren where to be caught that he would be in some serious danger?

Sorry if it’s meant to be obvious I haven’t seen soul eater in a really long time.

First off, AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed my little fic, you have NO idea <3

And yes, that’s the idea! It’s sadly not dived into as much in night the anime / manga since the focus is on the conflict between witches and the DWMA, but according to Free, only werewolf in the series, werewolves also have a unsteady relationship with humans like witches do. It’s not clear if it’s a belief still held by a majority humans in the present day, but Free mentions that werewolves were hunted in the past due to the belief that they were demons taking the form of wolves.

How they actually managed to hunt and kill werewolves is a separate thing to tackle since according to Free as well, werewolves are immortal, but that’s not relevant at the moment.

Free also mentions that a soul like his is still considered unworthy by the rules set by Lord Death. Whether he’s referring to his werewolf status, his magic due to having the magic eye, or both, is unclear. But, keeping the past in mind, I’m choosing to believe it’s because of both.

What exactly would happen if Ren were to be caught, I’ll leave that for you to find out in future updates of the fic. I wouldn’t introduce a conflict without clear stakes in mind, I promise! Regardless, you can probably guess it wouldn’t be anything nice.

Simply, I’m sure Lord Death definitely has his reasons for setting the rules he set. But has he considered,,, that Ren is pubby??

I think he should consider that Ren is simply pubby. He wouldn’t hurt a fly! Too busy being pubby, clearly 💅🏽✨
