#thats where most of their lore is

A few more pieces of my ocs, Atlas and Rosie!

Both of them gained a specific magic gift in an event that trapped the town under a magic dome, with Atlas being able to manipulate light and Rosie able to manipulate plants. While Atlas is living a relatively normal existence with their new powers, Rosie decided to become a supervillain and cause lots of minor property damage.

okay i meant to make this post forever ago but my personal opinion on why so many people were so dissatisfied with lightfalll (disclaimer: i am not one of these people, i love lightfall SO much), is that lightfall was kind of subjected to a really aggressive marketing campaign.

like, stick with me here, i feel like almost all the lightfall release content (the trailers especially) were so focused on battling the witness, how this battle has been centuries in the making and this is the Second Collapse Finally Finding Us, only for there to be,,, no real resolution. the end was left on such a severe cliffhanger, but not only that, there was NO battle with the witness. the witness didn't even seem to be having a hard time at all with what we WERE throwing at it.

and for narrative reasons *i* am obsessed with this ending; in terms of storytelling i adore practically every creative decision that was made in lightfall, but i think the reason that so many people were so upset about it is because lightfall had such intense marketing and was rooted in the implication that this was the End of Days, only for us to get almost no closure, and instead so many more questions.

(there's also something to be said, i think, about the fact that the people who ARE most upset about this are like, the youtube gamer dudebros who's content is very very often rooted in the aggressive, violence-and-warfare, pvp-centric, no-interest-in-lore approach to destiny, and that the people i've seen primarily ENJOYING the narrative decisions (or at least being understanding about it) are the artists and writers and loremasters of the fandom, but i'm not quite sure,,, how to expand on that point.)

The Wyrm could've chosen any pile of rocks and holes to make his kingdom

Yet his arrival and death was a self fulfilling prophecy

The moths could have ignored him, or the wyrm could have rejected them

Yet they weren't so loyal to their mother

And it is on a wyrm's nature to accept bugs into its thrall

He could've stopped expanding his kingdom at any point, yet the betrayal that doomed it was also the one to birth it

okay i tracked down the forum post i won eyne from and apparently my memory cant be trusted and i won both of them from the same raffle. they came as a set. (i could have sworn i bought rhys as fodder but what do i know) so that explains how they ended up in the same clan. but i guess the mystery now is how the hell did i forget they were siblings?? and how do they look so different? i have ZERO memory of scattering/breed changing them, but this was nine years ago so.

ANYWAY the long lost siblings angle is too dramatic not to use so im going with that instead of the real story which is i Fucking Forgot. fuck it we ball

That's it. I'm making my own Relativity Falls AU lorebook.

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol

[carnation-damnation]

I have sooo many thoughts about Rouge. Of all the main Sonic cast we know the least about her. She's a stealthy spy. She worked for the president despite being a thief and probably a double agent in that case?? She's extremely cunning. She's capable of detecting the emeralds despite not having that innate connection with them like Knuckles can.

In her theme there's a persistent sense that she doesn't like to be helped or controlled, possibly. She's searching for something she can call her own and that can only be hers. Nobody else can take it from her.

There's this sense in sa2 that she doesn't trust who she's working with, exactly. She doesn't show it by being cold like Shadow would, for instance, but she puts on this air of professionalism despite sometimes not thinking ahead (Giving herself 5 minutes to find 3 chaos emeralds despite it originally being fifteen and getting her locked in a vault as a result.) And this shows in her empathy and compassion. She doesn't show it as openly as somebody like Amy but she clearly cares and finds herself affected by the relationships she's gained since her introduction. She's probably told herself that she doesn't need anybody, that she can do everything by herself, she doesn't need to lean on anybody for help but she forms Team Dark herself.

Say what you want about the shady buisness practices or the 13+ child murders, damn can that middle aged man pull off a skirt.

[sonknuxadow]

been thinking about how some sonic characters have last names and some dont and i wonder what the in universe reason for that is.. maybe its just a simple cultural difference. as in little animal guys from some places have them and others dont. or maybe its not common for them to have last names at all and its mostly the ones who spent a lot of time around humans at a young age and adopted human behaviors who have them which is what happened with amy. or maybe most little animal guys DO have last names but its a common practice to not disclose it, especially if youre a public figure or just dont want people digging around in your personal life for whatever reason. like for example shadow choosing to say his name is shadow the hedgehog instead of shadow robotnik because that last name might raise a lot of questions he doesnt feel like answering. but even if it is that third option and everyone has a last name we just dont know about i still dont think sonic would have a last name. not having one just feels right for him

*i played a lot of those girl game brain surgery on elsa or whatever games where everythings all candy colored and simple and was too small to imagine it being anything else. when i found out what actual brain surgery was i was still into it but decided i probably wouldnt actually do it anymore u_u **i wanted a burger restaurant because i was/am a vegetarian. the plan was that id never be tempted to eat the food so id make more money and have fun cooking withought being hungry the whole time

i swear no one hates the pale princess and the six pygmies more than anyone that tries to make sense of genshin lore for any extended amount of time

like i am starting to feel at least like 85% confident (among many others) that we might FINALLY have our first fucking semblance of a clue as to what the events depicted in it could even be with the 3rd descender lore reveals bc like. 3rd descender being the light prince just Really clicks with multiple beats in there including but not limited to the specific mention of a "curse" falling the six pygmies from the remnants of the prince like. HUH. when the gnoses made from the 3rd are also described as a curse. and thats genuinely incredibly exciting bc it feels actually plausible.

but. because this book is still the actual worst designed to torture us all. that just also makes everything even more confusing 😭 bc one fairly prevalent thing (that i personally found quite compelling) with pale princess theories was her possible identity as the seelie ancestor who fell in love with a human and led to the downfall of their race. which has always been highkey giving the night mother destroying the moonlight kingdom and cursing the people of the pale princess into an "undead state, lingering at the point between life and death forevermore". like thats Way too on the nose with how the pale princess is literally the light princes lover so. yeah seelie ancestor always a strong contender for that one. but also what the fuck does that mean for the timeline

and dont even get me started with the pygmies like. who the fuck are the pygmies it makes me want to morb. obviously a ton of theories have tried to fit the archons as the pygmies but its always been a little ehhhhhh at least when attempting to fit our current archons as a whole (+ the whole. 6 pygmies 7 archons things). but the pygmies = cursed from the princes remains part is also like. very gnosis aligned after the fontaine AQ reveals so go figure. i hate this shit 😭

i also saw a speculation on the pygmies as the sovereigns given its likely scyllas already kicked the bucket at the point the 3rd descender happened (since he was already dead when the shade of life was creating egeria) so 7 lizards turning into 6 remaining pygmies in the story has no numerical dissonance. but that keeps raising questions still bc of how gnosis coded the princes death and the ensuing curse feels!! i hate this book have i mentioned that already. but i do find it a compelling argument solely on account of how much better the sovereigns would fit the timeline of sth that happened thousands of years ago Especially if the fall of the seelie queen is involved in any form. also read a good point that some of the pygmy descriptions could arguably fit the 2 of the ancient sovereigns slash likely candidates better than any archon, specifically apep for the pygmy only caring for its own garden and azhdaha for the blind one.

but then its like. if the betrayal of the 3rd was by the defeated and remaining sovereigns it kinda makes the gnosis thing another question mark. like we still lack so much info on the connections and the timeline between the stolen thrones of authority, the war of vengeance and ensuing weakening of the POs "functions" leading to the establishment of the vision system and the archon war and where the gnoses fall in all of this. hhhhhhhhhh

so like whether the six pygmies are some assortment of archons or the sovereigns or some other group altogether we are still so utterly clueless its terrible 😭

i think the only real theory that i think ppl should just let die is tsaritsa as the pale princess tho like. lmao aintnoway hoyo will ever make a playable character who has a very good chance of being the obligatory bronya expy be someone with a canon male love interest are you hearing yourselves 💀 its not even that i think itd be like shit writing or sth im just purely asking ppl to be realistic with the unfortunate self imposed limitations of a gacha game developer. though the tsaritsa somehow having a connection to the pale princess and the events of the story (assuming its the 3rd descender debacle) would be very fascinating.

also someone noted that the exiled pygmy taking the princes body to a "tree hollow" may not be literal at all and instead imply the 3rd after being killed and turned into the gnoses being integrated into the irminsul and all ensuing samsara rebirth cycles which.... interesting.

anyway. i hate pale princess and the six pygmies!!!!!
