Introducing the Erased AU!!! or as I like to call it: The Mysterious Disappearance of Normally Oak

Hehehehe I actually came up w/ this back in May (with the help of @kaseyskat <3) but it's been modified to be more canon compliant since some recent things got the brain gears turning :]c

The premise is essentially Norm and Dood do some. very silly goofs. aka w/out telling anyone Normal decides to go back to the Doodler's home dimension w/ Dood to keep them company and through some magic shenanigans everyone now has no recollection of Normal or the Doodler apocalypse- everything is a picturesque happy ending... or is it?

Sparrow is the first to realize something's up due to her new art studio being where Normal's bedroom used to be, but the others aren't very far behind. They all have to put the clues they discover together in order to figure out what happened and bring Normal back. Speaking of, I dunno how long a human can last in an eldritch dimension after all...

EDIT:

1 2 3 4

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads s2 #dungeons and daddies season 2 #normal oak #sparrow oak #the doodler #cal draws #erased au #teheheheheehehe #i actually love this au so so much #essentially it was born out of me going #i love the norm and doodler dynamic but i think if left to their own devices they would make some reckless and impulsive decisions #this au is so angsty but also. lowkey kinda funny to me #the timeline didnt change btw. memories were just altered #so as far as everyone THINKS the s1 epilogue never happened #people have weird gaps if they think too hard and lots of weird stuff seeps through sometimes #bc this magic job was done by. two kids AKWBGEIAHDHF #how did they pull this off? its a secret. (that is to say sparrow and the others will figure it out)#LMAO if u have any questions 🥺 i would love to answer them as best i can #ive got more comic ideas planned hence the TBC so hopefully those will come out soonish #also yegah. sparrows gender is transed. JABSGAIAHD AFTER the memory alteration too #so norm and dood essentially transed her gender before dipping it's incredibly funny to me

The worst thing is, Viconia would've fit perfectly in Shadowheart's storyline. From Viconia's (non-romanced) epilogue, we know this:

Viconia does found a cult of Shar in Waterdeep and she is betrayed by one of her followers. She is, not Shar. Shar, in fact, admonishes Viconia for this, showing she clearly never ordered that. And Viconia does not give a damn. This is the woman who left the cult of Lolth and went to the 'lighter' option that was Shar (compared to Lolth). She already deals with agents sent by Lolth, she's not going to let Shar tell her what to do.

The nature of the betrayal Viconia was the subject of is left entirely up to the player. With Viconia and Shadowheart's backstory being what they are, Shar's plot for a Selûnite child could've been perfectly inserted as the reason for Viconia's falling out with Shar.

Viconia left Lolth because of how children were treated, how she was treated herself. She did not turn to Shar to do the same thing. She would reject Shar's plot the moment the order came, and that would be the perfect trigger for one of her follower to turn of her. Shar's cult being what it is, I don't think taking down the whole lot is overkill to avoid further backstabbing. There aren't many who will pick their priestress over their goddess, especially not with how Sharran's faith emphasizes self-effacing. Can't make a decision for yourself when you don't think for yourself.

Shar's reprimends following what Viconia did further proves this wasn't what the goddess wanted. Complete that by adding she's incensed Viconia rejected her order and slaughtered her willing clerics, and you've got the perfect connection between Viconia and Shadowheart.

In BG 3, we could've met Viconia in Baldur's Gate, rather annoyed because she's been getting an influx of Sharran agents after her, and she's tracking the source to put an end to it. A Shar-aligned Shadowheart could've the mission to purge the cloister that failed to kill her, while a Selûne-aligned Shadowheart would work with her to put and end to the cloister, to give them both some peace and quiet.

Epilogue could've them both sharing tips on 'How to best kill an agent of faith sent after you'. They both have sharp tongues and a similar past, they could've had fantastic banter.

Instead we have this mess.

#baldur's gate 2 #bg 2 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate3 critical #viconia devir #shadowheart #i like shadowheart #why did they make me hate her quest #with a shar aligned shadowheart you meet a drow informant #who's really helpful supplying information about the sharran cult of the area #supposedly she's sent by shar to assit shadowheart in her quest #and it fits because this strange drow's doing everything a sharran cleric should #so why would anyone be suspicious #at the end of the house of grief amongst the other revelations #we discover the ever so helpful informant was actually viconia devir the traitor this cloister failed to eliminate #who used shadowheart's mission as an opportunity to get rid of the sharran after her #and now she's long gone #shar shadowheart is of course angry and makes it her mission to track her down once the netherbrain situation is handled #when you meet her in the epilogue she's still on the hunt though she had close encounters with her quarry and is eager to get back to it #with selune shadowheart viconia reveal herself for who she truly is and you get more dialogue and time with her #she joins you for shadowheart's quest as a temporary companion #with her and jaheira bitching the whole way there #you get the opportunity to convince her to stay to fight the netherbrain #she's there during the epilogue mostly keeping to herself but chatting with shadowheart a bit #mainly about their respective evasion of agents of the faith be it shar or lolth #more bitching with jaheira obviously #possibly with minthara too #they would probably dislike each other #the one person a drow is least likely to trust is another drow

QUEST: "MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL"

Glawen • Half-Elf | Ranger | Noble Post-Epilogue Adventure • Baldur's Gate III + part ii When the Hero of Baldur's Gate descends into Waterdeep's Dungeon of the Crypt following a lead on the long-lost Cloak of Dragomir (that he might once again grant his lover, the vampire spawn Astarion, moments in the sun), he finds himself hunted by one of the last descendants of the Unseen—an ancient group of shapechangers, illusionists, assassins, thieves, and other evil creatures driven into the underbelly of the Crown of the North over 100 years ago. Armed with little more than wits, a ranger's proficiencies, recountings from Professor Gale Dekarios and the few Unseen histories chronicled in Volo's Guide to Waterdeep, Glawen slowly realizes he is facing a demon even more terrifying than Orin the Red—a greater doppelganger with access to every thought, experience, insecurity and desire he's ever had, with an insatiable thirst to see both him and his beloved ended before the secrets of the dungeon are revealed.

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille

#possramble #ignore this im just babbling but #the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel #and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession #platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together #like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married #convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist #but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain #like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just #the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends #the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me #like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed #the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk #people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!!#but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out #don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck.#i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing.#she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it #and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not.#she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over #like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics #and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with #they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic #it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out #like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched #love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it #anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me #it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3 #it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

Authentic Story of the Shining Force - Saint Fencer Max - Chapter 4

Translation notes:

This is the last boob joke. We're free at last.

Here's the retranslation of every scene with the Spring of Recollection in the game. Overall, her speech here is fairly close to what she says in Waral in-game, with a few details from her final appearance sprinkled in, like her care for Cain. It does misses a few nuances though, like the Legacy being more than just Dark Dragon.

I don't think I've ever seen art of the Spring, but notably, she gets a portrait in the GBA version, and it looks a lot like the manga design, with the slightly wavy hair and especially the blank eyes.

Obviously, the manga rushes through the plot since it's short, thus a lot of places are skipped. I didn't even feel like pointing them out before. However I will point out Waral not being here this time, because Waral happens to not be in the beta map either, and it has very contradicting lore between the ASCII guide and the World Book, meaning it might have not been well developed. Besides, Chapter 5 is very weirdly structured. You get two ship battles that are basically the same, you get to Waral by accident, you advance the plot by going to Ring Reef for no reason and everyone telling you it's off-limits while letting you waltz in anyway, and hardly anything happens in the shrine besides you hearing about the Manual, which is not even a big deal because you get to Rudo by accident later (two ship accidents!! why repeat this plot point!!) and would go to Dragonia anyway to help Bleu. Basically, I obviously can't prove it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean shrine was initially thought off as only a plot scene, and the battles/town added much later for gameplay reasons.

Perhaps worth mentioning, the GBA version also makes a point to mention that Max got lost in the shrine alone, and everyone was worried about him, which does remind me a lot of the ship scene here.

uh oh. i hit image limit for the first time and i don't wanna remove either of these pics. more notes on a reblog later.

#shining series #shining force #saint fencer max #saint fencer max translation #sfm max #sf cain #so. gamers. fans. friends and followers. are we good? are we normal? are we normal about the last pages? i'm not #unfortunately my typesetting does not do it justice but at least i put up a fight #those unending creaking noises mess me up so good #it's just. so good. all of this #why did the gba version wasted time with boring villain epilogues #when it could be giving me the Good Stuff (angst of a long haired anime man)#also is his hair dyed? the eyebrows kinda imply that. i'm not sure i like that but i'm not sure i dislike that either #his hair is so good tho #anyway i could talk about him forever and i will but i gotta talk about the spring too #i really like the sword of light being here. it works aesthetically at least. the mishaela plot is very dumb #i had a whole thing about the sword of light typed but i took it out for later cause it doesn't have much to do with the manga #will probably come though! the three max cain plots are the same basically but there have some difference in the details #that has mashed together in my brain #so i wanna pick that apart at some point #anyway back to the mango. i dearly miss the nuance about the legacy even though it took me a while to notice it in the game #between this and the pseudo-magic introduction the manga does suck a bit at portraying the ancients #but i like how despite the weird pacing of the manga this part kinda flows better #with the spring's revelations all here in the middle #instead of popping in manarina like 'yeah boy you're hero of fate wait three chapter until we elaborate on that though'#naturally the game has good battle content to keep you happy through it #but the manarina scene feels kinda useless to me #anyway i probably had more to say about this while translating but i'm very sleepy #i will never shut up about this chapter though. mark my words

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that

if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it

#snap chats #no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game #oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH.#id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k #OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think #my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious #rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final #HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE #i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that #i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki #someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it #like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but #i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital #the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe #cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion.#yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3 #its a real head scratcher ...#a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think #it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little #and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened'#im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways....#sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly #idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me #THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED #i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell #is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form #i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments #BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow #im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

fav thing abt hag romance is that shri’iia is shorter but she’s more toned and has defined muscles whereas astarion is a head taller but he’s scrawnier, kind of lanky, makes for an interesting visual dynamic

#in my head he’s rlly thin and doesn’t have any abs..!!! like he was starved n probably malnourished #and his face is pretty gaunt. so in the epilogue I like the idea that he’s gained a good amount of weight and his cheeks are more fuller #like his jaw /cheekbones still defined but not like before. also like the idea of shri’iia gaining some weight too bc of the diet change #from eating underground food which I imagine was a lot of mushrooms and fish. and spiders probably to Bread…….#like imagine her eating bread for the first time bc a) idk if they had grain down there b) if they did she wouldn’t have access to it since #she was poor prior to joining her matriarch’s house and I’d imagine bread is an imported thing #shri’iia becomes less evil bc she eats bread and pastries for the first time that’s so real to me

accurate depiction of me reading Rio's anniversary story hehehe

#ikemen prince #rio ortiz #ive already skewed certain sentences about swords and fighting to fit my narrative hehe #too bad there was no chev appearance #that would have made me feral #silvio popping up did make me laugh #ahhh yesss the only way to love a sibling is to make sure #you annoy them as much as possible #all the damn time #their little meet up in the epilogue is such a funny scene #as an aside my jaws are so tense from work ugh #but reading rio's story and epilogue lightened me up so much #all the damn love in this world for this man

Magni/Anora has been making me go lowkey insane for the past 24hrs ngl lads.

#harper.txt #i imagine first and foremost it is a political match and both are aware of it.#yet in the 6 months between the dao epilogue and awakening they start caring for each other #and regularly write letters to one another. not just to keep one another updated but for companionship too #erlina being sent away some mornings because anora is letting her husband braid her hair in the dwarva style #magni dedicating a proving victory to his new queen when one is held after he is declared a paragon #anora adjusting to the fact she is a stepmother to two dwarven children and even arranging visits to orzammar so #they can see their papa on their birthdays and accompanying him #even witch hunt - magni goes through the mirror to meet kieran but...#he's moved on from morrigan. and she accepts that #and after a short time with kieran and morrigan he makes the decision to return to anora.#tells her the truth about how they and loghain both survived the blight and anora #in all her practicality and sensibility #smiles slightly and tells him. i am glad you did. you spared me the grief of losing my father #and i have become quite fond of you too #sorry this is an essay in the tags but know i'm going deranged tonight #pair: magni x anora

i read all 205 chapters of demon slayer last night in one 11 hour sitting. it was pretty good! surprise! the anime people have been raving about for the past several years is actually good quality. who would have thunk it. anyway i wanted to search up some reviews of the anime to see what other ppl thought of it but then i remembered the youtube anime community, with a few notable exceptions, is allergic to media literacy

#demon slayer #tanjiro is a very good protag and really embodies the themes of the story #very fresh too kind of like emma tpn #hes got a phat ass and wining personality like all other shounen protags but unlike most he isnt just talk #like he actually goes the extra mile to purposely be kind and it justifies why ppl like him so much a lot better i think #i was unfair in comparing it to bnha when i didnt even watch it #bc unlike bnha the author has a clear direction and kept things concise to drive home the poin #every character and plot point had a purpose #at least it does now since i havent had much time to actually pick at it yet #but anyway its got the standard shounen sexism but i think it was a LOT better than like. bnha or naruto #the girls are few and far between and arent as deep as the boys mostly #but i liked the love hashiras examination of womanhood in the taisho era #and the depiction of sex workers is surprisingly respectful #also the romance subplots arent forced (cough izuocha cough) like maybe you get the sense the characters have crushes?#but like! there are demons eating people! who tf cares! “im glad kanao isn't dead” yeah tanjiro me too youre such a romantic #but yeah the romance between the love and serpent hashira was pretty nice if lowkey #and otherwise i like how the ending just indicates that they may begin to like each other and the epilogue indicates they eventually did #how did it happen? idk! what the fanfics come up with would be better than what the manga would have squeezed in!#also i love how inosuke wanted a homoerotic sasunaru-bakudeku rivalry with tanjiro but tanjiro was too nice #and for the pervert/coward type character zenitsu was fairly likeable as well #i was worried nezuko was just going to be a glorified macguffin for tanjiro but she at least DID have agency sometimes #though i think they should have explored how she felt about the demon thing more and also show her casually with tanjiro #bc it feels like they only show her doing stuff when its a big angsty battle but i want her and tanjiro to annoy each other a bit!#shut up pandora

somewhat pleased to announce that in case someone wanted to know, and i really don't see why they wouldn't, the cameras that atz use in the cawaii men photoshoots are

fujifilm simple ace p&s camera (for taking photos), and

most probably? pentax spotmatic (the one hj, sh and jh pose with)
