Sneaking into the advice corner: how do you write non-serious but also non-crack conversations? How do you balance the mundane friendship-building levity bits with the need for purpose and capturing the themes or progression you need without jumping directly into the heavy stuff?

Thank you!

so so so sorry it took me so long to answer this one! just busy and wanted to make sure I could give it the attention it deserves

now, obviously, the master key to this kind of question is just to understand people very very very well, because all questions of dialogue sort of eventually become questions of psyche, but thats a lot of work so Im gonna run through some things I use to address a few of the points mentioned above: non-serious but non-crack; balance between levity and seriousness; and how to avoid jumping into the hard stuff.

1. Non-Serious but Non-Crack

this answer might not gel with everyone but the truth is... just write the crack conversations. based on some comments ive seen on my own stories recently, fandom has turned the word "crack" into anything that isnt intended to be emotionally enlightening or significant. you might be looking at perfectly normal conversations as crack conversations. Or, you might be VASTLY overestimating the average intelligence of the conversations between friends. People are WEIRD. As long as you play it straight and dont make a joke out of your own writing, you can pass off pretty much anything as non-crack if its meant to be characters goofing around and being silly. How the fuck else do you think I pulled off daichi straight up biting a pencil in half in TETRIA or the Peace Sign in In The Woods? Crack content played straight is just regular funny.

2. Balance

im gonna say one piece real quick and then go more in depth.

**Your funny ha-ha jokes have to come before your serious Oh-Nos**

If you finish a serious conversation with a stupid joke, you've ruined the serious conversation. If you finish a joke by having the characters somber up, you've heightened the intensity with the contrast of humour. You know that scene in Mulan where they transition from "A Girl Worth Fighting For" into gazing into a razed village? Imagine how fucking annoying the scene would be if they found that village, and then when marching off to continue on their way broke into that song exactly as it was performed? Terrible. [TBH this mostly applies to scenes that flow into each other, not so much if they are separated by chapters, scene breaks or time skips.]

A much more challenging piece of advice is to try and have a good mental map of how all your characters feel about certain topics/emotions. for example, if you want your character to be avoidant of feelings, theres no reason to make them bad at avoiding feelings, you can use genuinely funny jokes to break up serious conversations and distract the reader (and other characters) exactly as the avoidant character intends to. This just requires some awareness of your scene and will carry more of a weight on the other characters who may realize (or come to realize) what that character is doing. etc, etc. For all types. This sort of transitions into the last one...

3. When to Get Serious (And How to Make It Natural)

now you've probably heard the classic writing advice "people will say everything except what they want to say" and I have a LOT of issues with that for various reasons, but its a good benchmark for understanding the timing on these things. Saying what you Want can be almost impossible. If youve ever had to break bad news to someone - and I mean really bad news, "someone passed away" bad news - youll know how paralyzing doing so can be. You end up doing everything BUT saying that. You pick up a glass sitting on the table and make a joke about how, from the corner of your eye, you thought there was a spider in it. This isnt true, youre making it up you need to tell them something important. You both laugh about how gross that would be. you need to tell them. You think it'll kill you if you say the words out loud but you need to say something so you joke about what would have happened if youd poured yourself some water and there was a spider inside. This is supposed to be a conversation about their father passing away. And now youre talking about drinking spiders. Everyone is laughing. (crack conversation amirite?)

Look, I have severe anxiety about expressing my wants and this bullshit happens to everyone. Do you know how many days I spent telling my roommate about the plotlines of haikyuu before finally suggesting we should watch it together? SO MANY. Because I was just terrified of rejection. This works for everything. People HATE feeling bad. People hate feeling bad so much they'll do the weirdest shit to avoid it. And honestly that's when you get your best humour.

Of course, similarly, since people hate that feeling, they're often likely to COPE by making quips. Typically, if two characters are fighting each other, I find it better for them to be 100% serious. BUT if two characters are communicating while fighting a 3rd thing, theyre WAY more likely to start making little one liners. Obviously if its the climax of your story, hold off, but the very classic "WATCH OUT!" "NO I WAS JUST PLANNING ON GETTING PUNCHED THANKS FOR THAT." (screamed across a field mid fight) kinda never goes out of style. you just dont want people making jokes WITH the things theyre fighting (in my opinion) - this whole concept can be combined with point 2, where these jokes can be inserted in a climactic conlict only BEFORE the emotional beat hits.

But when it comes to timing, it can be hard. Here are a few quick things to keep in mind:

1. If there is external pressure (man coming to kill you RIGHT NOW) that anxiety disappears. These are the scenes you want to break into 100% seriousness right away.

2. If there is tension to break or potential conflict between characters (are YOU the Killer??) characters will avoid this like the plague. Beat around the bush. Possibly for as many scenes as it takes to turn it into a #1

3. If there is bad news or a message to deliver (Your Mom was Killed by the KILLER.) you can hesitate and beat around the bush but it probably should be passed along in that scene.

4. do NOT try and break the tension with humour AFTER the intensity. Sincerity is a good thing, and allowing your intense scenes to be intense and to be heavy and serious even if theyre not funny is really important.

and finally, of course... all advice to be taken with a grain of salt. If you write a scene that breaks all of this advice, and you love it, and its exactly what you want... then that scene is perfectly written. Do what makes you happy.

thanks again!

EUNIEEEEEEE AUFHHH

[paperpennies]

Hey, so I just now had my mind blown by the books in Cassie’s mind

Take a look at this text: 

So I was watching someone stream this level, and the chat was wondering what the text said. Some viewer took part of it, translated it, and pasted it back into chat. Everyone thought it sounded like some random fairy tale. Which is what I thought at first, too, but then I realized it wasn’t.

I went and looked into it myself to make sure. (Apologies if someone else has already posted about this, but I couldn’t find it anywhere so I’m posting about it.)

So here’s the original Latin version in text form: 

Consilium Apum

Olim vespa dixit alvarium edam VI apes fortes incipiunt bombilare.

Primus apis fabulum narravit. Erat malus. Secunda cantavit pacis canticum. Eum non amavit.

Tetria auxilium a formicis rogabat. Et dixerunt nolo. Quarta apis usus est vite. Sed fregit solveris.

Quinta apis contata ea gelare. Vespa non animadverto. Sexta apis tandem vicit diem. Sed amisit eius mens.

Prima apis illa est maxima destituta. Multis defecit Illa prima erat. Fortior sui aedificabo. Illa dimisit eam misericordiam supra pluteum.

Alvarium reliquit fecit alium. Sed in alvarium illa est sola. Terret alieni. Et vivit ibi ad hanc diem.

And here’s the (rough internet) English translation:

Plan of the Bees

Once the wasp says it will feed the beehive. Six strong bees start to bombard.

The first bee told the story. It was bad. She sang the second song of peace. He did not love him.

Tetria was asking for help from ants. And they said, 'I don't want.' The fourth bee used the vine. But he broke loose.

The fifth bee tried to freeze it. Vespa didn't notice. The sixth bee finally conquered the day. But he lost his mind.

That first bee is very disappointed. The former had failed in many ways. Build stronger self. She releases her kindness on the desk.

He left another beehive. But she is alone in the beehive. It scares strangers. And he lives there to this day.

The translation is a little jank, which might be the rough internet translation, or the Latin being weird/wrong to begin with. Probably some of both. Like some of the pronouns seem wrong, and I think “Tetria” is supposed to be “Tertia” for “third”, given the context, and some other stuff. But that’s not the point. 

The point is, what does this sound like? It’s the story of the Battle of Grulovia and the aftermath for Cassie. 

The wasp, Vespa, is Maligula. The first bee is Cassie, with her speech. The second is Helmut, with his monologue, so on for the rest of the Psychic Six. [Had these backwards in the initial post, someone pointed it out. Fixed!] The rest is about Cassie locking herself away and living alone in her tower. 

I never noticed it on my own playthrough, but this text is all over the level. In fact, it’s basically the only text in the level. For real. Every path or wall printed with book text is this story. The full thing is printed at the beginning of the first three sidescrolling books. All the internal text of every book in the level is comprised of passages from this story, even the stuff that’s jumbled up or handwritten. 

Much of Cassie’s internal world is literally built out of this narrative, the tale of her biggest failure. 

Like...damn, Tim (and other relevant level designers). Y’all did not have to go so hard on something most people wouldn’t notice. But you did, and that’s why Psychonauts is great.

☯ + that moment Argath was told to shoot Tetria.

(( I finally got off my butt to write this. Under the cut in case anyone could be upset by: strong and foul language, violence, and blood ))

That man is a heightened fool if he thinks he can bargain a commoner for his own befouled blood with Lord Zalbaag, Argath thought with a slight upward curl of his lip. Tighter his gloved fingers curled around the shaft of the crossbow, christened ‘the knight killer’ by the outfitter who had granted it to Argath on the grant of House Beoulve. 

This would be over quickly before long. At least, it seemed it would had the frantic figures of Ramza, Delita, and their stalwart companions not come trudging through the violent blizzard. 

“Lord Brother!” Ramza cried, face blotched from the cold. “Argath!” The scorned nobleman looked at his better, that slender face filled with worry and perhaps fear. And he sneered at him in kindly. 

Delita however, seemed more focused on the bridge above him than the hostage negotiation– or rather, his sister, who was being held captive on the creaking and frozen splinters. “Tietra!” Heiral’s breath fogged out in a desperate puff as he stopped beside Ramza and looked up. 

“Delita!” She cried back, shivering pathetically in the loose summer dress that was not meant for the horrible winter weather here at the fort. She had to be more than was comfortably numb by now.  

Finally Gragoroth drew back, holding Tietra tightly as if she was his grandmother’s heirloom. “Withdraw at once!” He roared, like the animal Argath had known him to be. Just like the rest of his mates, all blooded and broken. “I’ll not warn you again!” 

Argath scoffed to himself. About this wretch, about how Ramza and Delita were going to try and play hero, about the absurdity of all of this. Just slit her throat and let us be done with you, cur. 

Zalbaag made a sound that Argath managed to hear above all the din of the winds that sounded less than pleased. “This changes nothing, Argath.” He said in a low voice before it suddenly grew louder. “Loose your attack!” 

The slight smirk Argath had grew into a smile that spoke to a satisfaction perhaps even beyond schadenfreude, as he lifted the knight killer crossbow and fired his first bolt. It punctured Tietra in her lung and rib cavities and she fell over with nary a gasp. 

“Gods have mercy…” Gragoroth seemed to voice everyone’s surprise save Argath and Zalbaag’s his eyes widening in surprise as his only bargaining chip crumpled onto the bridge and began to die of poison and a nasty wound in of itself. 

Delita let out a horrible scream, more terrifying and raw than any beast Argath had heard before. But the fear Argath was feeling was overpowered by deep satisfaction. 

Because even if Delita choked every bit of life out of him, Argath had taken one of the very last things Delita held dear in this world.

One of the more complex Suechained trolls for me to work out a good way to do.

Name: Selaci Lomeda (First name is drawn from Selachimorpha, the clade used for modern sharks; Lomeda is drawn from a heavily scrambled Megalodon, an ancient and massive shark. He usually goes by Bivali Poista- Bivali is taken from the class containing clams, while Poista is from the Finnish “poistaa”, meaning “remove”.)

Theme: Sharks. His theme within the Suechained group is seadwellers of colors lower than purple on the hemospectrum.

;~; You gotta fuckin’ know that I am terrified of sharks, and the image searches for this review were very trying for me but I love your trolls so so much I would look at a shark’s open mouth for them.

Age: 6 sweeps

Strife Specibus: Hookkind (though he rarely uses it any more)

Fetch Modus: Fishing, maybe? With him having to “catch” the card he wants and reel it in, and it resisting based on its importance.

Blood Color: Violet, though he currently presents as brown, for reasons which will be explained further down.

I read your reasons, and I think it’s a good one! I want a lot more information about his moirail, though, because stories about grief and the way it affects you are as much about the departed as they are about the living. I wonder if there’s a way for the moirail to be rustblooded? My reasoning:

Even if they died traumatically, there’s the added layer that they would’ve died much earlier than Selaci anyway, and that unwillingness to deal with the inevitable mortality of his loved ones (including his mom) would be an interesting theme to explore in contrast to his current bloodlust.

The association of sharks with blood in the water, which is a very human concept but rust would be the most immediate visual cue with their moirail’s blood being the thing that makes them snap

If ever there was a time to go for the “lowest of the low” blood caste trope, it would be here; it seems appropriate that someone so removed from the lower class would go for what they he would gain the most sympathy; if he cared about whether or not he was viewed as low caste, he would probably pick something higher up the hemospectrum, like an olive blood. In fact, olive blood also works quite well, since it would explain both his lack of psychic abilities and psychic resistance, as well as symbolize him as a troll who seeks greener pastures. Dealer’s choice! I’ll probably try oliveblood out in my redesign, but I’ll be happy to provide the other version if asked.

Symbol and meaning: Actual symbol is a simplified shark fin, though the one he’s using to hide himself has no meaning and was just something he drew up and thought looked alright.

If you decide to go with him using his moirail’s blood color, it stands to reason that he would also use his moirail’s shirt and symbol; it’s faster than making one up, and he can raid their hive for extra shirts

If that doesn’t track, my other suggestion would be to make his new symbol a simplified shark mouth with a tongue? As a bonus, it kind of looks like an open clam shell with a pearl.

Trolltag: ???

Old one could be…greatCarcharias? It’s pretty simple but in my defense Selaci didn’t seem like a very subtle person pre-getting-his-ears-ripped-off.

The new one…I kinda like the idea of a cheesy one like clamTastic.

(I just looked up the scientific name for clam and it’s Mercenaria mercenaria which is so ominous what are they planning, these shelled double mercenaries)

Quirk: ???

I mean there’s the very s^mple replacement of i’s w^th the l^ttle hats wh^ch looks l^ke a shark f^n along w^th th^s emoj^ o^^^^o to ^nd^cate a buncha fuck^n’ TEEF and also to m^rror h^s lusus’s dorsals in keeping with my suggestion below. (I originally tried owwwwo, but honestly I just saw an extended ‘owo’ which didn’t really parse with his personality I think.)

N{o}w that he’s underc{o}ver, I like the idea {o}f him using brackets ar{o}und the {o}’s like a pearl in a clamshell. It’s als{o} nice because it c{o}ntrasts what l{o}{o}ks like a sh{o}rtening {o}f the “I” s{o}und t{o} the lengthening {o}f the “O” sound.

Quirk Example (BOTH): The qu^ck brown fox jumps {o}ver the lazy red d{o}g.

I think it might be fun to have him slip up and use his “natural” quirk from time to time.

Important stuff: Selaci is currently masquerading as a brownblood in a desperate attempt to survive- within the past two sweeps, he’s managed to alienate many of his friends, get his lusus killed, and murder enough lowbloods to get the ones in his area to organize and attempt to execute him, resulting in him losing his fins. This honestly isn’t the first time he’s had to go on the run, though it is the first time he’s had to try to hide himself properly instead of just getting out of the area.

Lusus: Sharkmom, who had four pectoral fins and roughly all the teeth. Was killed maybe half a sweep ago by extremely angry lowbloods.

The lusus is usually the same “gender” as its troll, though for what it’s worth I’m p sure they don’t have a concept of gender and just answer to whatever their troll decides to call them. Given that you’ve listed his ancestor below as a woman, do you think he’s the type of highblood that researched his ancestor and decided to project some of those qualities onto his lusus? If not, “Sharkdad” works just as well, though I’ll continue to use Sharkmom throughout my review.

In terms of a shark lusus that doesn’t look like a traditional shark, what about this scary-ass dick shark that I am afraid of looking at directly:

I actually like the idea of four DORSAL fins; cuts a very intimidating and impressive figure in the water, and it’s the part of a shark that’s probablyt he most iconic.

Personality: As ruthless as anyone would expect of a young seadweller, and enjoys hunting down his “prey” the way most people enjoy their favorite video game. Right now, he’s doing his best to play the part of a meek little lowblood.

Hemoloyalty: Have you even read the rest of this? (He’s horribly, terrifyingly hemoloyal, and fails to see any real use for the vast majority of lowbloods other than cannon fodder and lusus food.)

Quadrants: None right now. Had a moirail, who died in a freak cliff-based accident a sweep ago and whose death did nothing good for his mental state. Has developed a friendship with Tetria.

Interests: Enjoys fishing, and has a knack for building stuff. Used to make jewelry from the bones and horns of his kills, though that’s obviously not an option any more.

Dislikes: Has an intense fear of heights, and dislikes being away from the water for long periods of time. When he still had them, hated having his fins touched; as it is right now, he’s still highly uncomfortable with allowing anyone to see the scars from their removal.

Title: Seer of Life (No clue how I decided on this, honestly.)

Hm. I really like Doom given his theme around death and working through it. I think…maybe Mage of Death? Like his current issue is that he’s not actually engaging with his grief and is instead acting out in other ways, and I feel that Skaia would want him to confront that before he’s ready to win a game, not because it’s better for his personal growth, but because it would make him a more effective player.

A Mage of Death, I think, would have had to come to terms with the inevitability of death. He’d have to be positively ruthless in following the rules to win the game to its logical end. Of course, this doesn’t mean he has to do that! Sollux was a Mage of Doom who learned to be happy when he abandoned the role that the game had assigned him, and it’s possible that Selaci may do the same! Or, he may overembrace the role and kill others even if the game is technically winnable with them in play.

Land: Land of Cliffs and Basins (His quest is to refill the basins, bringing water to the consorts.)

I like Land of Fame and Fortune to complement his inflated self-importance as a highblood. Probably very Vegas-like in nature, with a vibe similar to LOHAC. His quest could be to erect a mausoleum for dead consorts to get them to appreciate the fortune of being alive? I don’t actually know if it tracks…

Dream Planet: Derse (as he’s trying desperately to avoid the fate his ancestor suffered.)

Hm. I wonder if it would actually be more interesting to place him on Prospit? I like the idea of him being literally haunted by the memory of his dead ancestor every time he sleeps. Imagine the paranoia it would breed! It would also tie into the theme of inevitability granted to him by the Doom aspect.

Ancestor: The Huntress, who patrolled the shores near her hive and killed any lowbloods she found. Was eventually caught by a group of lowbloods she had attempted to kill before, who cut her fins and limbs off, strung her up from a cliff in a cage, and left her to bleed out.

As stated above, a troll’s ancestor is typically the same gender as they are unless there’s a specific design reason, but I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to change the title and I will refer to her with she/her pronouns throughout this review. For what it’s worth, I chuckled over “The Hunterer.”

Dancestor: ???

How about Charia Lomeda, after the great white shark? Given her Alternian self’s fate, I like the idea that she’s a lifeguard who allows certain lower-blooded swimmers to drown (with the argument that their blood color indicated that they would die soon anyway, making them not worth the effort), giving her a passive role in mass death.

Beforan self: ???

For ONCE I actually have an idea about this, which is that this is a universe in which Sharkmom stays with the Sharkman and the two hunt in a tag team for lowbloods who have angered the Condesce. He loses his fins one day when his mother mistakes him for prey, straining their relationship. However, when Sharkmom is killed by the local lowbloods in an effort to establish a base, the Sharkman begins silently picking off the remaining lowbloods regardless of their crimes, until a brave lowblood (possibly based off his moirail?) shoots a hole in the air tank he must now use to breathe underwater. The pressurized can explodes, and he finally dies.

Hive: Currently living in a simplistic, abandoned hive, as the one he was living in before (taken from an indigoblood, who was promptly fed to Sharkmom) was utterly destroyed by the latest attempt to kill him.

Appearance notes: The blood color he’s currently using is that of his old moirail.

Other notes: The whole thing with how Selaci’s ancestor died is intended to reference what usually happens to sharks caught for their fins. Additionally, the clam thing in his alternate name is a character design reference for him, as he was originally going to be clam-based.

I like that part especially, since one of my favorite parts of Homestuck is the lore referencing “hidden” parts of the story.

Anyway, on to the redesign!

As usual, let’s go top to bottom. I actually designed pre-finless Selaci before figuring out what he looked like after going on the run.

Horns – I mean Kanaya-like horns may not be the most interesting of horns but it matches his symbol shape so well.

Hair – I love giving seadwellers short hair because in my personal opinion it’s the most convenient. I gave him a mohawk with 4 spikes to remain consistent with the redesign of his lusus. For the finless version, I tried to imagine what the hairstyle would look like if he was growing it out for the first time. The awkwardness is deliberate and draws from personal experience of what it’s like to grow your hair out. As an added bonus, his new hair’s softer ridges sort of resembles a carton clam.

Eyebrows and Eyes – I took off the eyebrows because honestly not a lot of the trolls have eyebrows in their sprite unless it would be considered a defining feature. For the eyes, I notice you used one of fan-troll’s standard ones, but I figured that if I was gonna hammer home the “4 dorsal fins” design concept I might as well stick ‘em on the eyes as well. Yeah, yeah when we started this blog we said only women had eyelash definition but a) given that you’ve given him a female lusus and ancestor there’s a design reason and b) Hussie’s creation of like 3 alien races that adhere to the gender binary is silly and I don’t really think it makes a lot of sense.

Mouth – for the pre-finless, I basically looked up kids’ sharkteeth (where some teeth grow behind others) and did my best to replicate that in a whole mess of pixels. I also gave him shark bite piercings for what I hope are self-evident reasons. Post-finless, I imagine he wouldn’t smile quite so much.

Shirt – I will cop to changing the shirt just so I could have enough area to fit the new symbol. As of the Hiveswap leaks, we can confirm that, while trolls usually need their symbol on a black shirt, it doesn’t always need to be centered, so I moved it to the side. Shoutout to fan-troll for the base of that shirt, and for those of you reading who want to make quick, easy, beautiful sprites, I highly recommend you check that sheet out.

Shoes – I changed ‘em to the Rugged Shark outdoor shoes using fan-troll’s template.

Aaaand that’s about it! As always, thank you for the pleasure of reviewing one of your fantrolls.

One of the first Suechained trolls I had an idea for, and one whose powers I honestly love.

Name: Amacye Buvari (Their first name is drawn from two types of psychogenic mushrooms, Amanita muscaria and the genus Psilocybe; the last name is the scientific name for the Colorado river toad, Bufo alvarius, smashed together.)

Theme: Toads and mushrooms. Their theme within the group is unreasonably powerful fantrolls.

Age: 6-and-a-half sweeps.

Gender: Agendered.

Strife Specibus: Claims to not need one, but usually uses knifekind to stab or slit the throats of anyone who isn’t frightened off by their powers.

Fetch Modus: ???

Hmm. I mean, Sollux didn’t use his modus at all, since he could just use telekinesis. We don’t even know what his fetch modus was; only that he eventually traded with Karkat for his encryption modus. In light of that, how about they don’t think they even need a modus because obviously they can summon anything they want when the time is right?

But I like the idea of them having a legitimate modus to discover that they’d had all along when they finally enter their session. How about a PARBOIL MODUS? In order to retrieve an item, Amacye needs to allow the card to “boil” for a sufficient amount of time; if they remove it before it’s ready, they’ll actually receive a hallucinated copy of the item, which will fade over time. This will also render the card itself unusable. It’s a modus that will require a lot of patience after they’re so used to supposedly getting what they want with a snap of their fingers.

Blood Color: Red.

Symbol and meaning: An extremely stylized mushroom, for… rather obvious reasons.

Trolltag: actuatedAberration (“induced hallucination/abnormality”, though done with synonyms as to fit the GCAT pattern. They came up with it before their mind became warped to the point that it is now, and have mostly kept it for the sake of it sounding cool.)

Quirk: (I have no idea please help)

I’m tempted to go super simple with this one and just have them capitalize the letters D, M and T. Anotehr option is to try to make a toad with text??? 8{|}

Special abilities (if any): Amacye, while physically weak even by the standards of redbloods, is capable of producing intense and realistic hallucinations in almost anyone lower than cerulean, at the cost of sometimes warping their own view of reality. They’ve used these powers since they were absolutely tiny, trying to make themself seem extremely, unrealistically powerful (shooting fire from their hands, controlling the weather, flying, you get the idea). After a good six sweeps of this, though, they’ve hit the point where they actively believe themself to be as powerful as they’ve always presented as being to outsiders.

Lusus: A large, toad-like thing, with a pig’s snout, tusks and ears, and hooves and antlers like those on reindeer. Generally referred to as Toaddad. (The toad parts are because of the Colorado river toad, known for producing a psychotropic toxin from a few glands on its body, and the pig parts are in large part because pigs were sometimes used to find mushrooms. Reindeer in the wild have been known to consume Amanita muscaria, apparently for its psychoactive effects.)

Personality: Extremely easily frightened by almost anyone stronger than them, though they try to put up a front of being extremely tough and powerful (assisted in large part by their actual powers). Around people they’re more familiar with, they’re fairly kind, and will happily agree to anything that sounds fun.

Hemoloyalty: Is frightened of highbloods, partially as a result of their seemingly being unimpressed by Amacye’s displays of power, but otherwise doesn’t care about the hemospectrum- after all, why would they, when they’re so powerful?

Quadrants: None, but is close friends with Xiupai and may have a flushcrush on Lanide.

Interests: Enjoys music and cooking, as well as watching terrible movies. While they can’t swim, they’ll happily sit at the edge of the water and screw around in the mud. (Also, drugs, for obvious reasons.)

Dislikes: Can tell there’s something very, very off about Tetria’s behavior, and avoids her as a result. Also dislikes being indoors for long periods of time, or being away from their lusus.

Title: …maybe a Mind player? I almost want to make them something really important like a Time player, really, but…

So there are a couple theories on how classpects are assigned:

1) The game assigns you whatever it needs to go to completion and make a new world

2) The game assigns you a class that will really let you come into your own if you embrace it

The thing about the first one is that it’s impossible to determine a character’s class by its description, and also means it doesn’t make sense why there are so many doomed sessions.

And while Time and Space seem more difficult to assign as aspects, you definitely have certain characters who are plagued by the timeline of their life or by the space they inhabit.

With that said, I think it’s possible that Amacye is a Hope player? Their current issue is that they’re too open to possibilities; they need to trim that down in order to gain clarity. So I think it’s possible they’re a Prince of Hope, whose role is to either destroy their hallucinations or else to destroy through them. I personally go by classpect inversion theory, which means that their inverse would be a Sylph of Rage, who mends paths to better narrow down the options. See if it sticks!

Land: ???

I like Land of Fractals and Toadstools, where it’s just a very very loudly colored world to walk through, with the quest of shepherding the consorts to select toadstool clusters where they’ll be safe from the trippy rainbow monsters that inhabit the world. Your quest is considered complete when you can successfully get the biggest mushroom on the Land to billow out until it covers half the landmass, thus creating a large enough space for the consorts to safely rest.

Dream Planet: Prospit. They use the clouds there to help augment their “abilities”, as future sight is one of the few things they most definitely can’t do on their own. (Their dreamself is also significantly better off mentally than their real self is, and is aware of the actual nature of their powers.)

Ancestor: ???

Let’s do the Soothsay, a prophetic hippie type who was often sought out for counsel.

Dancestor: Musila Buvari, who learned early on about the drawbacks of his powers and avoids using them other than for purposes involving getting high. Think Gamzee but… not actually Gamzee.

Beforan self: ???

Ehhhh I mean we don’t really meet the Alternian trolls’ Beforian selves either, do we? If you’re looking for a name, maybe the Psychote, who terrorized other lowbloods with their hallucinogenic capabilities.

Hive: A small hive by a stream in a pine forest.

Appearance notes: Constantly unkempt and wild-looking, with tattered clothes and messy hair. Avoids wearing shoes- when they were younger they thought the extra contact with their environment might keep them from losing themself to their powers, and now they’re so used to going without shoes that they won’t even consider it. Their horns are intended to mirror the upper part of their symbol, and the tusks to tie into Toaddad’s pig-like parts. The second sprite is intended to be them in the event that they actually calm the heck down.

Other notes: Amacye was one of the first trolls in this group who I thought up the powers for (indeed, it was a lot of my inspiration for starting Suechained in the first place), and I quickly fell in love with the concept of their incredibly self-destructive powers and how terribly they would fare when they entered the Medium and suddenly they couldn’t do anything to most of the monsters they were fighting.

As usual, this is a very strong concept for a fantroll. I don’t really have any concrete design notes since they’re sprited reasonably well and, while the horns look similar to one from a recognizable template, they fit the symbol and the troll perfectly.
