Y’know what, fuck it *posts a bunch of Oc/Reborn Nuzlocke stuff I’ve made over the past month*
Tumblr media
Local idiots run out of money and sign up for a motivational poster thing to get some
Riptide (He/they, Dewott) needs so much therapy
David’s (He/him, Flaaffy) first reaction to his home getting destroyed was running around a random building for 20 minutes until his older siblings found and informed him of their dad abandoning them
I nearly gave Trevor (he/they, Swirlix) the wrong hand before posting this.
Annie (They/them,Girafirig) and Thing (She/her, Girafirig tail) originate from a Friendlocke a friend did. The only other context I’m giving is that the reason why the summoning circle is pizza is that Annie and Thing had a really weird time in the Pc
Dira, otherwise known as The Director or Dira Keeper (He/she/they, trainer), is the phone.
This drawing is the reason I made Andy (He/they, Weepinbell) and Rachel (She/her, Pidgeotto) a couple. Also Andy is shiny (this is a Reborn Nuzlocke which is why the colors are different)
Honestly I didn’t really know who would scowl so I just chose Nathanial (He/they, Sewaddle), he’s also shiny, which is the entire reason he and Andy are brothers
I made Jon’s (He/him) design on the spot. I’ll probably make an actual design for him later
Laura (She/they/it, Sudowoodo) died in game but unfortunately (or fortunately) for me I come up with stuff about characters along the journey and I grew really attached so now she’s co-trainer’s with Dira. She’s also a robot.
Tumblr media
Bird girl and shiny plant boy
Tumblr media
Doodles part 1 - featuring people who either died or “left” (in universe they left, in game they are dead)
Also the parallels are between Dira and a sibling of her’s, since they both have little mer sons (except one is a shapeshifter who just likes looking like a fish and the other is more like a half selkie…? Eh close enough, Dira’s son boy Edwin is still alive, he’s just in the box)
Tumblr media
Doodles part 2 - now with more readability
I like to think Dira fixed Laura himself so no one would take them back to their creator after realizing that people usually don’t have wires and oil instead of veins and blood.
Which is also why Laura has an x on one eye: They couldn’t replace the optic because they spent the money on everything else so Laura just decided to paint an x over the eye until they can get an eyepatch or new optic

if you can't read the lights... | a mixed tape
Track 16 | The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco
                  Rachel felt uneasy walking along the scaffolding up in the rafters of the school auditorium. Her careful steps contrasted sharply with Niki’s casual stride. There was a lot of cables and lighting equipment strung throughout the rafters, all of which was encased inside a plaster shell with slits cut into strategic sections for maintenance and performance purposes.
                  Down below the stage was lousy with actors in full costume. A few uncostumed members of the crew scurried around, both on the stage and behind it. A handful of others – actors from the UIL class not cast in the show – sat in smatterings all across the seats in the auditorium.
                  Rachel and Niki were initially among them until the latter suggested heading up to their current location. Rachel agreed with a shrug. Why not. Sounded like fun three minutes ago. Now she wasn’t so sure.
                  “Have you ever fallen from up here?” Rachel’s shaky voiced matched her sense of balance.
                  “Nah,” Niki said with ease. “I’ve done this a hundred times.”
                  “Really?”
                  “Not literally.” Niki looked down through one of the slits with a view directly in front of the stage. She could see Tyler sitting on a purple bridge that was part of the chocolate factory. Tyler wasn’t alone and he was socializing with others in the chorus – killing time as the acting director Ms. Leading finished going over modified blocking with the lead actors. “Probably more like nineteen times, in all truths.”
                  “Okay.”
                  Niki looked back over her shoulder to see how Rachel was doing. “You okay?”
                  “Y-yeah. I’m fine.”
                  “Are you scared of heights?” Niki scratched the side of her neck. “I wouldn’t have asked ya to come up here if you were.”
                  “Not really,” Rachel shook her head. “Or I didn’t think I was until now.”
                  “Oh. You wanna go back down?”
                  “N-no…”
                   “I don’t want you to be all freaked out or anything.” Niki shrugged. “I just come up here to get high.”
                  “Yeah.” Rachel nodded slowly. “Literally.”
                  “We can go back down.”
                  With a fierce shake of her head Rachel said “No, I can do it. I’m fine. I just…need to get used to walking up here.”
                  Niki gave a quick nod. “That’s fair. D’ya wanna, like, hold my hand or something? For balance?”
                  Rachel nodded several times in a row. “Yeah that sounds good.”
                  “Oki.” Niki made her way back to Rachel and offered her hand. “No worries.”
                  With a shaky smile Rachel grabbed Niki’s hand with her right. The scaffolds were too narrow for them to walk side by side, so Rachel remained a pace behind Niki, occasionally clutching Niki’s hand with both of hers when her footing felt wobblier than usual.
                  Niki walked them towards the back of the rafters above the light and sound booth that sat between the twin sets of double doors leading out to the main hall. Niki pointed at a ladder with her free hand.
                  “That ladder goes straight down to the top of the sound booth.”
                  “Yeah?”
                  “Chyep.” Niki nodded once. “You can get straight into it from here. It’s the only other way up here but they usually lock the doors to the booth so y’know,” she shrugged. “That.”
                  Rachel nodded, too. “Cool.”
                  Niki laughed. “Really?”
                  Rachel shook her head with a small smile. “Not really.”
                  “So, uh,” Niki scratched the back of her head. “I’m gonna need my hand back. If that’s cool.”
                  Rachel gave a short nod and quickly added, “Yeah okay.” She let go of Niki’s hand.
                  Niki smiled at her. “I just gotta take a few hits then you can hold it again if you still need to.”
                  “Oh,” Rachel’s eyes widened slightly. “Um, sure. I mean, you don’t, I don’t need to keep your holding your hand or anything.”
                  “Oki!”
                  Rachel watched Niki pull out a pipe from the top left pocket of the latter’s red flannel shirt. Niki removed her grinder from the pocket on the opposite side. Rachel watched Niki pack the bowl before putting the grinder away and pulling out a lighter from the back pocket of her black cargo shorts.
                  After taking her first hit Niki coughed a couple of times and extended her hand towards Rachel again – this time holding the still smoky pipe. “Wanna hit?”
                  Rachel took a breath. She wasn’t against smoking, but it wasn’t something she ever tried before. She wasn’t sure how it would affect her, especially now while struggling to keep her footing steady on the scaffolds. She exhaled with a shake of her head.
                  “No thanks. I’m good.”
                  With a friendly smile Niki shrugged. “No worries!” She took a second hit.
                  “Thanks for offering though.”
                  Niki took too long of a hit and coughed out a mouthful of smoke. It was the grossest cough Rachel ever heard.
                  “Fuck.”
                  “Are you okay?”
                  Niki laughed in between another spurt of coughs. “Yeah,” she croaked out. “Accidentally swallowed a Scooby snack.”
                  “A what?”
                  Once she was sure she was done coughing Niki took a breath. “Little burnt pieces. Sometimes they get sucked into the pipe. Nasty as shit, dude.”
                  “Ew yeah, they sound it.” Rachel reached over and patted Niki’s back a few times. “You good?”
                  “Chyeah,” Niki coughed once more. “Thanks.” She took another hit. This one went down smoother. “Ah yeah okay. That’s better.” She covered the bowl and put it, along with the lighter, back into their respective pockets.
                  Rachel and Niki could hear movement below that sounded like another run through of the scene, but neither was terribly invested in watching that scene for a sixth time.
                  “So, why do you come up here to smoke? Other than the view, I guess.”
                  “Cause it’s the only place in the school where I won’t get caught?” Niki shrugged.
                  “Oh. Yeah. That makes sense.” Rachel felt like an idiot for asking that question now.
                  “And sometimes I get to smoke with Coach Bodee up here every once in a while.”
                  “Wait, seriously!?” Rachel was taken aback.
Niki chuckled.
                  “Yeah, furreal.”
                  “Behemoth Bald-Headed Bodee? The physics teacher?”
                  “Chyep. Same guy.”
                  Rachel shook her head in disbelief. “That’s buck wild.”
                  “Eh, he’s pretty chill as a smokeout buddy.” Niki shrugged. “I don’t think we’ve even talked once.”                   Rachel couldn’t find anything to say. She didn’t have Bodee as a teacher. Physics wasn’t a class taken by freshmen. She had another two years before becoming his (potential) student, but Coach Bodee was famous around campus for having a quote-unquote “larger-than-life personality” that could be seen and heard in the hallways during passing period, occasionally.
                  “I hope I get that dude at some point.” Niki was swaying back and forth to a song stuck in her head. “That class will be an easy fuckin’ A.”
                  Rachel shook her head again. “I still can’t believe you’ve gotten high with Behemoth Bald-Headed Bodee…!”
                  Niki laughed again. “Yeah I know. I legit thought I was gonna get suspended or something when I saw him already up here that one day.” Niki cleared her throat. “Eck. I can still taste that fuckin’ Scooby snack.”
                  Rachel took a breath and exhaled. She undid her ponytail and let her fall down before scooping it back up to redo it.
                  “Oh wow your hair is hella long, dude.” Niki remarked.
                  Rachel smiled awkwardly. Her hair medium-brown hair went down just a few inches below her shoulders. She didn’t feel like it was all that long. “Yeah, it’s a little longer than I usually keep it.”
                  “Cool,” Niki said with a slight nod. “It’s just you usually have it up so I guess I didn’t notice how long it actually is.”
                  “Yeah that’s cause I don’t feel like managing it.” Rachel dropped her hair and sighed. “It’s a hassle, sometimes. Most of the time.”
                  Rachel’s hair wasn’t completely straight but it wasn’t curly either. It was mostly an unruly sea of waves that curled up in a few places when it felt like.
                  “I like it.”
                  Rachel could feel herself blush. She hoped Niki didn’t notice, or at least if she did, she wouldn’t didn’t say anything about it.
                  “Thanks.” Rachel started twirling some of her around her finger, nervously. “I guess I can leave it down more often. Every once in a while, at least.”
                  Niki shrugged. “Do what thou wilt.”                   “?”
                  Niki cheesed. “It’s some dumb quote I saw once.”
                  “Sounds like it’s from the Bible or some shit.”
                  “Maybe.” Niki sniffed. “Never read it. I just saw it somewhere once and it stuck. I’ve used it as a tag a few times.”
                  “Oh.” Rachel stopped twirling her hair and ran her fingers through it, trying to make it feel…better. She was annoyed by how tangled it all was. “When have you done that?”
                  “Have I not told you? I feel like I talk about that shit all the time.”
                  Rachel shook her head. “No, not that I can remember. Unless I just wasn’t paying attention.”
                  Niki laughed. “Relatable.”                   Rachel found herself laughing, too.
                  “Why do you ask?”
                  “I dunno.” Rachel forced a shrug. “It’s sounds kinda fun though.”
                  “Oki!”
                  Rachel smiled.
                  “I’ll invite ya along the next time we do it.”
                  “We?”
                  “It’s usually me and Ricky. They’re the only other person I know who’s up for that kinda shit.”
                  “Oh, okay.” Rachel still wasn’t all that familiar with Ricky. She only hung out with them a few times while already chilling with Niki. “Sure, that sounds fun.”
                  “No ice!”
                  “Noice!”
                  Niki laughed.
                  “Um,” Rachel started putting her hair back up. “Do you mind if I take a hit?”
                  Niki’s foggy eyes lit up. “Hell yeah, dude!” She quickly reproduced the pipe and lighter. After removing the makeshift lid she handed Rachel the pipe. Rachel asked Niki to light it for her and she obliged. Rachel breathed in, hard. A couple of seconds later she exhaled a massive cloud of smoke.
                  “Nice one,” Niki nodded. “I was fully expecting you to cough yourself to death.”
                  Rachel cleared her throat before agreeing. “Yeah, same.” She handed the pipe back to Niki who slid the cover back over the top and pocketed it and the lighter. Rachel exhaled slowly. A tingle ran up her spine when she felt Niki’s fingers brush against hers. Rachel swallowed before her fingers interlocked so easily with Niki’s – the latter clasping her hand tightly around Rachel’s who repeated the gesture. Smiling to herself, Rachel took another breath. Her mind grew hazier by the second while Rachel felt a comforting warmth fill her body as Niki’s fingers tangled with hers.
                  “How doin’?”
                  “Good,” Rachel nodded with a faint smile on her lips. “I’m good.”

genuinely stunned at the fantastic choice for Percy not to pray to his absent and unknown father—like he did in the books—but to his mother.
the show is really taking us to one of riordan’s central theses straight off the bat.
parenthood isn’t about power and legacy and the recognition of shared blood.
It’s about the incredible act of showing up for your child—again and again and a-fucking-gain. That’s how you inspire respect. That’s how you become a child’s patron and beloved god.

truth serum / system reveal au where shen qingqiu gets hit with an uncloaking spell that reveals the system in the reflection of his eyes every time it pops up.
during one of his missions, in the treasure hoard of some dragon-like creature, he finds a golden, oval shaped hand mirror, its gaudy style more victorian based than anything (airplane you hack!), that doesn't seem to do anything when he looks into it. but when he does, it reveals the system's screen in his eyes.
he doesn't notice this, of course, because he can't see it, and the system, surprisingly, stays quiet.
the peak lords think he's cursed.
maybe mu qingfang is the first to notice, during the mandatory post mission check-up, when shen qingqiu is scrolling through his most recently accumulated points and mu qingfang can see the strange vividly-blue lines reflected in his pupils. it's gone when shen qingqiu blinks, like it was nothing but a trick of the light.
it comes out when yue qingyuan is visiting and, just as he's done laying out the plans for a new mission, shen qingqiu's eyes glaze over and a bright blue box takes over the whole of his iris. shen qingqiu goes quiet; the thing in his eyes moves, shifts, pulses for a second, like static worms crawling all over his pupils. then he blinks, and it's gone, and shen qingqiu accepts the mission that yue qingyuan was almost sure he would decline.
maybe there is an intervention, when the peak lords corner shen qingqiu at qian cao peak and try to figure out what's wrong, subjecting him to all kinds of treatments and curse-finding spells that turn up empty, they can't find anything.
of course, the silencing threat is still very much up and running. at first shen qingqiu was kind of confused by the whole ordeal, but when the peak lords start describing a "strange blue box", he realizes, with sickening suddenty, that they're describing the system. and he can't say anything.
this only makes everything worse, because their fellow peak lord now keeps evading every question and acts like he doesn't understand. liu qingge points right at his face and asks, "that blue box, what is it?" and shen qingqiu laughs nervously and starts talking about how bright the weather is and surely it's the sky and nothing to worry about!
even worse, during the intervention the system thought it was a good idea to start talking to him, so now even the peak lords who hadn't seen it and who might have been persuaded by light tricks and reflections, get a first row view that no, that definitely isn't a trick of the light.
they try to do the whole thing of "are you in danger, blink twice" but shen qingqiu can't even do that because it's still a direct admittance!
maybe eventually he starts saying vague confirmations that don't actually confirm anything, like "this master hears what you're saying", or maybe he goes with a classic "this master can neither confirm nor deny that." but the system starts warning him for that too and eventually he stops saying anything, which worries the others more.
luckily mu qingfang catches on that every time they ask a direct question about the box or shen qingqiu says anything vaguely confirming, it appears. it doesn't appear when they ask about curses or demons, so it must not see that as a threat.
for a little extra angst: maybe the peak lords keep pressuring him for answers, and at some point shen qingqiu gets fed up and snaps out something like, "why don't you understand that i'm not allowed to answer that!" the system counts this as a direct admittance, threatening it's existence. so it punishes. shen qingqiu has a qi deviation so bad it lasts two weeks and takes two people every day to cleanse his meridians. the system doesn't appear in that time. it doesn't appear for a long while after that, either. the peak lords stop asking, mainly because shen qingqiu will instantly leave the room if they do. they don't stop searching for a cure, though.
shang qinghua returns from a business trip and catches on the second someone mentions a blue box and forced silencing.
