#then you make ur own lore

[sonicattos]

anyone else have a weird relationship with gender where your body naturally has traits of both afab and amabs because of some sort of hormonal or intersexual experience, so you’re pretty much not really getting that much body dysphoria, but still has the social dysphoria of being called your agab even though calling yourself that and certain terms don’t bother you because you don’t associate them in that way?

girl i am going to need you to tell me more about us being god

ok so.  if u tilt ur head just the slightest and squint a little,  u could say that we are gods.  our own gods,  since we are the ones who decide what’s best for us to the point that we limit ourselves.  but there’s always that part of us that will always want more,  or at least something better for us, and who knows what's going to be the push for us. 

the thing about the sillies is that they represent those primal principles within a human  (faith, hope, and love)  but they didn’t feel the urge to break free and push limits until anger  (the missing principle since,  to me,  anger is some sort of passion that could make anyone move)  drove them to stray from their initial purpose as god’s messengers.  so,  if u do squint and think about it,  “i” and the angels mirror us humans. 

we mirror “i” because we limit ourselves for our own good  /  selfish reasons.  we mirror the angels because they quite literally represent us.  it's up to u if u want to break free from ur only purpose  /  ur own loop,  so either ur a god,  an angel with a purpose only,  or an angel who knows their potential to become a god   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

he's not even hiding it at this point 🤪🤪🤪

I don't think Adam and Eve are specifically One and Brother One incarnate but they do have way too many shared traits to be purely coincidental reuse of character tropes.

Are potbeasts an original species of yours? I’d love to make one myself but I wanna make sure I’m 1. Following any species guidelines and 2. Not stealing your idea or accidentally making a oc from a closed species

fot a short minute I considered making them a species of sorts but even if i were to I would have made to an open one most definitely, i'm not too big only closed ones and I also fully encourage people making funny little guys :)

i think in the long run i do wanna ask to be crediter but it's not smth i'm gonna make a necessity 24/7! I'm glad you liked them enough to decide to make one of ur own ❤❤❤

from a chara standpoint i think ppl can and are allowed to enjoy the vampire ascendant ending and direction if they want to. i mean, we all kno of power fantasies and villainious routes being extremely hot and sexy. i just find it incredibly grating ppl love to enforce the "he doesn't know love anymore bc dnd lore state that vampires don't feel emotion" like maybe for you jan but not me! my man is infatuated and adores my tav as the ascendant. sorry!

[sntoot]

finally finished something enough to put it together in a post

anyways i looked at the sky pirate raids and i was like hey what if i put a whm in there. that couldnt make things worse right

more details about them under the cut in case anyone is curious

(gron ehsk means escaped tree in dravanian)

they r born and raised in gridania, and reach adulthood as the autumn war hits. thats how old they are.

anyways time goes on and they become more of a cryptid and harder to interact with until quarrymill kicks them out and demands the elder seedseer take them in front of the elementals for some kind of punishment. the elementals dont give a shit bc gron was doing everything correctly for the forest, just not the people

so they get banished from the shroud by the elder seedseer and head to coerthas instead. they get branded a heretic pretty quick from having horns and offering to teach the lowborn conjury, so they end up in anyx trine with vidofnir and the dragons there. the dragons there give them their new name and they stay there for a while. the dragons think they r a funny little guy.

after the calamity they find that not only does the shroud still not want their help but the people of coerthas also dont want them around, and even when they offer the highborn conjury they r rejected for obvious reasons (heretic). they r chased out of coerthas and end up in the sea of clouds instead of dravanian forelands, much to their displeasure

as theyre running from camp cloudtop, leofard takes pity on them and takes them to ok'zundu where the zundu are kind enough to let them use an abandoned hut a little ways off from the village to live in. the redbills find having a healer accessible is really damn convenient

leofard visits to ask them to join the redbills repeatedly and also to pay them for healing all the random injuries the pirates get, they repeatedly refuse and also make him eat vegetables from their small garden. it doesnt seem to make him less inclined to visit. (they remind him of his mother; they obviously want to live freely but something is holding them back)

when they hear about the mhachi stuff and the void ark they demand to come along because as a white mage its technically their job to clean it up, since amdapoor and mhach are why these magicks are forbidden.

over the course of the raids they go from hating cait sith to becoming besties, and they finally join the redbills officially at the end of the quests because they do actually like the redbills despite the idiocy

cfoolish morals are central to all the conflict he faces in such a compelling way. it's specifically the fact he holds himself to a higher moral standard then the people around him— he won't kill people and won't take revenge. and those choices cost him everything again and again and again and he keeps making them. he keeps choosing to be kind, to be forgiving, to be lenient, and throughout the story he loses more and more people— through betrayal, through distance, through loss of faith.

one of the most interesting to me is csam bc sam never hurts him, but it's sam's action in the prison that completely change how not just how foolish views Sam, but foolish's entire worldview. "Maybe you are right, maybe everyone's a scumbag". But this damages foolish's and sam's relationship to the point that the June 6th conversation is one of the last they ever have in canon. bc foolish's morals can't let him stomach being friends with someone who would do that. sam was his friend. And it's this loss of faith in his friend that shakes foolish to his very core— to the point he starts considering throwing everything he believes away, because why is he holding himself to a standard no one else is?

it must be so lonely, being kind in a world like that.

*asks you about world building*

*sickos haha yes image*

All my stories take place in roughly the same timeframe in largely the same environment: hesitantly named Synsolic as an analogue to Earth (I may change that later because I don't know if I like it but it's stuck for a while now so. We'll see)

It's fantasy because I am a sucker for fantasy, populated by humans, merfolk, fauns, satyrs, ipotanes, and nightlings- which are also called shadowlings or aveoliths in varying contexts. I know "faun'' and ''satyr" are largely used interchangeably in a lot of things, but they're different species, here, though they share similarities with each other as well as with ipotanes, the other ungulate species. Merfolk are actually made up of two subspecies, iarans and nix, but while they differ physiologically in a lot of ways, culturally they are one and the same, so they're generally grouped together. I think that's as far as I'm going to get into species things for now, because I've got *checks notes* 32 pages of species things in my own nonsense word docs and I really don't think you want all of that. Unless...

BUT

The world as it is now has been fractured. I hesitate to call it post-apocalyptic because that implies a level of supernaturality and/or violence that generally isn't present, but the gist of it is that over a century past, in the mountain range at the northern edge of the continent, the tallest peak erupted. Think Mt. Taupō or Mt Tambora, with some variation. The ash, the pyroclastic flow, the acid rains and sulfide clouds, combined with the continued effects that the material that made it into the stratosphere had on climate in the next few years, contributed to a heavy death toll. Even after the initial activity ceased, cities fell just because they couldn't feed themselves in the unnatural winter that followed, in the subsequent years' lack of a true summer. The sulfuric content released poisoned the air, especially close to the mountain, though if you were close to the mountain, you were probably dead anyway from that initial eruption, just from being buried in ash or debris. More people were lost than can be counted- in the hours after the eruption, but also in the years that followed.

Some were affected more than others. Merfolk, occupying mostly the southern seas and having the added protection of the waters' surface, retained more of their infrastructure, and with it, knowledge and history, more of their people, than terrestrial humanoids. Satyrs had typically occupied the forests in the north, and so there are very few, if any, true satyr cities remaining. As a result, merfolk are now known for their knowledge of technologies that were lost to others, and satyrs are largely travelers or scattered among other species, unlike fauns, humans, and ipotanes, who have places that are more theirs. (The species are not completely distinct, they live amongst each other in a lot of cases, but there are places that are mostly fauns, or mostly humans, for example, where other species are more a minority. Satyrs don't really have that.)

It has been a long time since the cataclysm. Nobody currently alive lived it, in fact, there are few that even remember somebody who did, and if they did, they were almost too young to know it. But it lingers in the way that things are, now. Cities don't really exist as much as towns or villages, small settlements that can support themselves with little outside influence. There's not a whole lot in the way of governmental influence, and there's definitely not any nations anymore, though they were more of city-states before, anyway. This is a double-edged sword, because the cataclysm made people come together in a way they weren't previously, but it also gave people who wanted to use or harm others an easy avenue to do it, with no formal punishment a disincentive.

The world is mostly in-betweens. Towns or herds or any other type of community are few and far between, and in the spaces linking them is just a vast wilderness that, too, has been changed by the cataclysm. Ash is rich soil. There are forests where there were once prairies and there are rivers that were redirected. The closer you get to the mountain, the more changed things have been. The landscape is scattered with overgrown ruins, again, with increasing density as you draw closer to the source. People are isolated because of this vast space they must span in order to reach others. There are many travelers, but they rarely cross paths, because how could they? There is so much space.

There is SO much more I could say but for the sake of your sanity I'll leave it here. Extremely swag of you to indulge me and if you EVER are actually interested in me elaborating on literally anything PLEASE ASK. I WILL GLADLY
