#sso introduction

[regancastlelion]

"I should've probably made this ages ago..."—Me, a minute ago when I hit the 🖊️

Hi, all!!

You can call me Reggie, as most call me anyway. I've been playing Star Stable since circa March 2020.

My favourite horse is my Nemain, Firebug, and my favourite breed is the Belgian Warmblood.

I play mostly on Sunbeam Palace for the AU/NZ/Asia region, and my home stable is Moorland Starshine Ranch. Feel free to come find me if you like 😊

My favourite animals—aside from horses—are grey kangaroos and fairy penguins. In real life, I have a dog—a female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—and two cats—a male light ginger and a female tri-colour tortoiseshell.

As you've seen, my character has somewhat olive/moderate brown skin, blue eyes and white hair. The only thing I have in common with my character physically is the skin tone, as Character!Reggie is canonically half-shifter—a story for another time.

A little more about me;

I'm half-white Australian and half-Indonesian by ethnicity, and Australian by nationality. This is because since before I was born, my mum has had her Australian citizenship. Therefore, I don't have a dual citizenship with Indonesia

I think that's all I have to tell you guys, for now. I need to take my dog out to pee, so I have to leave it at this.

so long, for now!!

🔮 ⤷ Introduction

Hello!

I've been stalking ssoblr for a long while now, and I think that it's finally time that I made my own little side-blog to start properly engaging!

I've been playing SSO since around 2016, and am a sad nerd for anything to do with the storylines or general lore shiz (as confusing and fragmented as it may be). I needed somewhere to dump the grand ol' Google Docs content that has been piling up over the last few years, and ssoblr seems like such a cool place to do so!

I will be interacting from my main (equally-nerdy) blog @feste-de-jester :)

🔮 ⤷ Maya (they/he)

[gunbeeing]

[jorvikcowboy]

Horses have been bought.. welcome home to those two stunning KWPN's! The top one is Frostfeather aka Jay, a stunning young gelding, and the bottom one is Eaglefeather, nicknamed Indy, who's a half brother to Jay and comes from the same facility. He and his brother both got started in dressage originally, but Indy never liked it particularly much. He took a liking to western pleasure however, so their former owner tried to find a buyer who could meet both of their needs!

[piperswiftmountain]

Juicey, nicknamed well, juicey.

[dustymisgestaltsso]

Hello, SSOblr! This is my proper introduction, moving over from my main @rz-053 over to a proper, dedicated SSO blog.

I play as Dusty Monsterback over on Wind Star. MY star stable/5th soul rider oc's proper character name is Dusty Misgestalt, though. I'm Aldous, he/him or it/its, 25. I'm very eager to be social with other players! I welcome friends to play with or just discuss lore and OCs with. You can contact me here or over on discord, where my handle is rz053.

If we ever end up playing together, don't be disheartened if i don't chat ingame. I prefer VC because of how absurdly awful the chat filters are ingame and it seems like they get worse every day.

ADMIN INTRODUCTION

This is an SSO RP account so I guess I should do a little intro.

Hi! I'm Spike and I will be penning Matthew, a kind hearted soul that carries a lot of trauma and damage, that has drawn him to a community of people who aren't the goodest in the Jorvigians' eyes.

I have about 4 years of role play writing experience form IGRP and I like writing more dark themes and tragedy so you'll see a few trigger warnings on my posts from time to time.

I have been playing star stable since I was a young teen, beginning all the way back in December 2017, so I have seen this game evolve in many different ways. some good, some bad, and I've finally come to a point where I want to make more out of my avatar. He is not a full reflection of me. the only thing I have in common with my avatar is skin tone and gender. Ethnic background, religion, and other characteristics assigned are all his own, and he is by no means a full reflection of me at all

my SSO name is Luna Graynight, and I play on the AUS/NZ/Asia servers, moving between Magnolia Jungle and Sunbeam Palace as I choose. I dont often use chat but if you see me in game you're welcome to say hi. :)

A little more about me. I am a genderfulid aroace person who identifies more with the masculine side of the gender spectrum.

I am Autistic and have ADHD and have had a special interest in horses since I was 7 years old, which is what drew me to star stable, when I could not afford riding lessons anymore. I love creating characters and sharing them with others, hence why I RP in my spare time.

I was born and raised in Australia as a white Aussie and I love the vast diversity of our biomes. I love travel and hope to travel around Scandinavia at some point in my life time.

Aside from horses I love sharks and believe they deserve more love than people give them. They can be very docile and gentle creatures compared to the blood thirsty murderous beasts we have labelled them as. <3

And I own a 5 year old Border collie x Australian Kelpie mix named Blitz and he is the pride and joy of my life. He's a big goof and very loving. Just wants to come up and say hi to anyone who enters our little home.

SSO Tarot Cards

With today's card, the Major Arcana is finally finished :DDD This has been a long serie of drawings, as well as my introduction to tumblr (and the SSO community here, which I come to absolutely adore). I really want to thank everyone for all the kind words, theories, discussions, encouragement, reblogs... I am really moved by all of this, and I hope my art will continue to bring you joy and I hope for many more discussions to come <3 Moving forward, I plan to post more illustrations of my Jorvik OCs, introduce my AU, as well as continue posting more usual fanart. I'm also really interested in the events often hosted in this community, it really is so cool to see other's OCs and take on Jorvik. I also love making theories and writing... so prepare for a lot of yapping :DDD That being said, I would love some ideas for future projects. Is there anything in particular you'd love to see? Any art ideas, maybe venturing outside of Jorvik- inspired things? I've seen many people in this community are also into fiber art, so I'm tempted to share some of my works in that area too. Please, please, please let me hear your thoughts on this!

Riders of Fallen Dawn Introduction

It wasn't their intention to become the saviours of the world.

The Soul Riders were gone, the druids were tight lip and magic was being eaten alive. Literally. The Dark Riders need the Light Ceremony Book to bring back their lord but, like the four champions of Aideen, it had disappeared. Unable to use their magic to fight back and strung out between finding the Book and breaking Erissa free...

What are you going to do? Are you going to help the Dark Rider's with their quests or are you just trying to survive?

From September 28th to November 31st, you can choose how you assist the Dark Riders.

I know SSO prompt month is in October (hence the extended time) and from September to October, I'll be dropping some lore tidbits for y'all to go crazy with. October, I'll be writing fic with the SSO prompts and expanding the lore! Then, November...it's a free for all, baby! Have fun! Get creative! Use #Riders-of-Fallen-Dawn when you post!

OC's are welcom, Reader inserts are welcome, everything is welcome. Dark Rider re-designs dropping on the 28th so be ready to see how Sabine, Katja and Jay will be fairing in a zombie apocalypse, unable to use their magic.

[jorwik]

hi there :3

introduction post? you already know it

first things first:

⤷ i started playing star stable online in november 2014, however i played a lot horse games before (mainly star stable the summer riders)

⤷ i am from Poland, which means that english is my second language

⤷ this blog is mainly dedicated to sso and all games related, but be aware that sometimes i might get nostalgic for some other games :P

⤷ this is a side blog - my main one is @emolipgloss

okay, now let's get into why i am here:

around the end of august I realised that i really miss being a star stable blogger. i have never had a sso tumblr blog, but i had a blogger dot com since that was quite popular in the early 2010s among the polish community. i miss the creativity i had back then, the feelings for the game and horses and blogging... that actually made me fall in love with writing a diary and i still do it to this day, everyday :) discovering the ssoblr community made me want to try this whole blogging thing again and made me really excited and happy that there are people who are still as interested in these games as i am. see you around!

[horseslur]

Things I've learnt playing main story yesterday, in no particular order:

I was about 15 minutes of playtime away from freeing Linda these past six months

Even before freeing Linda I could've unlocked mistfall, the one area that I couldn't get into.

Dayblockers are 100% still a thing, and deeply annoying

When the dayblockers aren't there it's a different type of annoying, mostly in the shape of absolutely botched dialogue and also the fact the game is incapable of keeping track of where npcs are (Alex kept jumpscaring me by popping in and out of existence, notably being Right There as Linda talked abt waiting for Alex to get back)

Introduction quests to area's you can get to without doing the introduction quests are funny (Firgrove introduction). Introduction quests in the main storyline to area's that have their own standalone introduction quests are funnier (Ydris's circus)

The problem with morality in sso is that you have no option to be evil on purpose, and most evil characters are written badly enough that it's Really clear when MC is helping the bad guys by accident, making it just a Fascinatingly Dumb thing to happen (helping out Sabine kidnapping Justin, having Zero questions about giving magical five-leaf clovers (which. aren't that rare at all.) to a Literal Witch).

Mistfall is Very very pretty, I get why a lot of people put their home stable there.

Somehow the dialogue makes "experienced rider" sound like a slur to me. Maybe I am but how would you know, girl who's been locked up in a castle for six months

Ydris calling me horsewoman right before/after killing my internet connection and thus both my stream and my game, however, sounds like he knows I have a tumblr and had to get my url past the sso chat censor.

erissa introduction rewrite

this is written with the intent that players wouldnt have been told by sse that erissa is a dark rider, so we dont immediately know who she is. also it wouldnt take place at the current time in the story, this is mostly written to fit into an imaginary entire rewrite of the story. also, this is just some ideas off the top of my head, there are plenty other ways to rewrite it!

we're in jarlaheim and a cat runs past with a ball of yarn in its mouth, and this girl who's chasing it stops and asks us for help, almost crying, her yarn is gone. mc is like oh i will help you dont worry!! we race the cat on horseback (silly race with cat jumping on fences and stuff as we chase it), and get her the yarn back, but its kinda ruined now, and she sobs, telling us she's trying to finish a crochet project as a gift for her best friend, and she shouldnt have tried to play with the cat, shes angry at herself for letting the yarn get ruined, it was the last ball she had in that colour. mc is empathetic and goes like "wait! maybe i know some people that can custom dye yarn" and it leads u on a classic sso quest, talking to idk, farah, daxton, mrs holdsworth, collecting plants for dyeing, until we've made her new yarn.

as we do that, we're going around with erissa tagging along riding double on our horse - she comments "i wish i had my own horse, too! maybe i will crochet one!" and mc is like haha yeah thatd be cute :) and everyone else we meet for the quest just sees her as a sweet kid too and cheer her on for her project, farah talks about how great it is to create stuff and how happy she is to see kids doing handicrafts.

this questline finishes with erissa happy for our help, and we get a crocheted doll saddlebag pet from her as thanks, "ive made several of these, theyre my own special design, you can have one!". she also says, "this yarn we made together will be even better than what i had before, because its infused with your energy!" mc is like: um yeah sure! power of friendship :) (the item description for the crocheted saddlebag pet says something like "aww! this little yarn friend wants to come with you everywhere you go!")

later after other random quests (time matters! it shouldnt be immediately after! we have lots of other stuff to do around jorvik) we've met up with linda at her room in jarlaheim, first we talk some soul rider stuff, then we're going out to have a snack at a café, as we pass by jarlaheim's fountain, we see it has yarn art on it ("yarnbombing", aka yarn graffiti) and maybe some other objects have too, and linda is like "yeah, that stuff as been showing up lately, i admire the creativity and the skill it takes, but im not sure about doing it as graffiti. it looks nice though?"

we get to the café and as we sit down, we overhear someone at another table talking about that the yarnbombing problem is getting out of hand. their postbox was covered in crochet this morning and they couldnt get it open! "and i was looking forward to reading the latest gossip in the jorvik gazette, too!" linda and mc mostly think its funny and not a big problem. "maybe this artist will become jorvik's own famous street artist soon, and then that postbox could sell for 10k shillings!"

we might talk about some other soul rider related thing quietly at the café, but then we walk linda back to her place. as we arrive, though…. we notice that linda's front door has been yarnbombed and cant be opened without removing the yarn art. "um… maybe it is getting a little bit out of hand", linda says. there are moons and some other symbols in the crochet design, alongside crocheted eyeballs. "thats a bit weird, huh? its gotta be coincidence, but its funny there's moons on this… or could one of our druid friends be doing this? those eyeballs remind me of the scene in that episode of--" … so linda and mc take down the yarn, linda says she'll bring it inside and use it as a throw blanket if her cat doesn't get to it first, and we say bye for now.

after this, theres a few quests i havent planned out in detail, but basically, every soul rider get a crochet object thru different quests. alex' beanie gets torn during some other quest, and mc is like "hey i know a kid who can make you a new one!" - we go back and see erissa again. (maybe mc is thinking to ask her if shes doing the yarn bombing, but decides against it, since shes a sweet kid and seems so nice.) alex starts wearing erissa's beanie. erissa also tells us, "remember how i said i wanted to crochet a horse? well, i started working on it! i cant wait to show you when its done!" idk what objects lisa and anne get, yet, but for lisa it should be relatively easy to come up w something. anne is given something but maybe doesnt actually use it/keep it because it doesnt fit her style.

while doing various quests, we have those DC drone thingies spying on us and have to break them or get away from them. "how do they keep finding us?"

sometime later, we're with the soul riders investigating some GED or DC stuff in epona, it might be related to CHILL (tie in the rest of the soul riders to that plot!). we have races and stuff like, "race all the soul riders to x location" for fun during the quests. we eventually go to that toxic dump pond near crescent moon, and then into the village. as we ride over to talk to npcs, we hear "…it was one thing in the towns, but now there's a bunch of that graffiti stuff out in the mirror marshes, and its not good for the environment, the poor animals and plants can get caught in it!"

"whos doing graffiti in a swamp?" lisa asks, making a face. "hey, graffiti is the people's art, maybe it's the swamp monsters' art, too" alex says. pamela moonriver starts talking to us (shes met all of us before). "oh, im glad to see you all, there's a problem. look, my beehives were covered in yarn while i was making dinner! who did this?! i mean its nice handicraft work, but my poor bees cant live like that. maybe it would help keep them warm in the winter though?" "oh, we heard someone talking about graffiti. did they mean the yarnbombing?" we ask. "yes, its really becoming a problem, its showing up everywhere. would you mind helping me free my bees?" we help take the yarn off the beehives, pamela offers us some tea in the kitchen and we update her on some of our investigations (since shes part of CHILL) - maybe she gives us some new info to consider about what to do next about GED stuff etc.

as we leave, we hear an angry old man complaining loudly nearby. hayden is trying to rip apart a piece of crochet, failing, and just dumps it angrily in the trash instead. "you irresponsible youngsters with your stupid hobbies!!!" hes pointing a finger at us. "dont you care how this affects the eco system!!! no, you only care about your stupid 'fun'!!! pah!!! nonsense!!!" "uh… you've got the wrong person, we didnt do anything!" "well, that beanie (alex') looks exactly like all those stupid things showing up in the marshes, so i dont believe you!" (there might be more dialogue here but idc.) the soul riders already had some reason to check out the swamp, related to GED/CHILL plans/etc. its gotten dark outside but we head there anyway (or maybe have a reason to try to spot some suspicious GED activity in the dark etc). as we get there, we see big yarn "spiderwebs" on the trees in different colours, with crochet plushie flies with sad eyes - wrapped up in yarn, stuck in the web... crochet eyeballs covering rocks, a bunch of mildly creepy yarnbombing art.

i dont have super clear thoughts on what happens now exactly (i came up with all of this pretty quickly after all) but basically as they ride through the swamp, maybe nearing that one pandoria portal?, erissa finally shows up. mc and the others are first like, "oh wow, what are you doing here, kid? its you making all this!? i cant believe you did all this yarn graffiti by yourself!" erissa is like "hehe… i didnt! i had help from my… friends!!!" the little crochet dolls come out from around her and are moving on their own. everyone is shocked, "whats going on?! they're alive!" mc is holding the doll erissa gave us in our hand, as we watch it start moving, dropping it in surprise. "shes using some kind of magic… but im not getting a good feeling about this… could it be--?!" erissa goes, "my friends are so helpful, you see, they let me hear what they hear, see what they see… its important to have a network, isnt it?" (the shot has her by the yarn spiderwebs and with her dolls) "im so glad you treasured my handmade gifts! sabine always rejects my presents, she's so ungrateful." "sabine?!" alex pulls off her beanie and stares at it. "hang on… could it be, if shes with DC…??" "thats how they knew where we were! thats why those drones kept showing up!" erissa interrupts and goes, "hey mc! you know what? i promised to show you, and i finally finished it… my biggest project yet… my own horse!!!" dramatic shot of her getting on her crochet horse, etc. maybe there should be strings of yarn kind of sticking out from the horse and around erissa almost like tentacles or arms, it would feel more threatening than just a yarn horse. im too tired to think of more dialogue rn but there could be strings of multicoloured yarn starting to climb up the legs of the soul riders' horses, everyone goes, "run!!!" and then theres a challenging mini-boss race through the swamp. avoiding getting caught by erissa and her yarn creatures, the yarn spiderweb obstacles, and maybe we have an option to actually use magic, so mc and alex are trying to zap erissa's creatures as we ride.

i dont have energy rn to come up with more - the point of this rewrite was to show how you could build up meeting erissa and seeing yarn stuff in the game over time and over several quests, the way that most stories would to create intrigue and foreshadowing. lots of details could be changed, and maybe other dark riders show up after erissa brings forth her horse, maybe theres something with the pandoria portal in the marshes, etc.
