#this is just my version and my thoughts

is Rio omnipresent? does she have many embodiments around the multiverse at all times?

hey anon, this is a great question!

yeah, so she is death for all beings, in this universe and the others. technically she's a cosmic being, but one could almost consider her more of a concept than anything else, if that makes sense? she lives a completely different existence than someone who's present as one, present being, so it's sort of difficult to write from a roleplay perspective.

technically she is the big three: omnipresent (present everywhere, at all times, at the same time), omniscient (on the basis of death, and knowledgeable of all lifelines and where they begin and end) and omnipotent (although i don't really lean into that as much for the sake of roleplay purposes). but this includes control over time, and manipulation of reality.

i mean, think about it, millions die every day, across every universe. she would have to be omnipresent, otherwise she would be SEVERELY overworked lmao. many instances of her, many manifestations of her, like i said it's sort of difficult to write from a roleplay perspective but i think the concept of infinite selves is also difficult for us to conceptualize in general. her realm, the one in which she "lives" and rules, is the realm of the dead, for all beings. i go into this more i think in my carrd, but it's like what you would imagine to be the "underworld", and obviously not every soul exists there if they have a different religion, or different ending point, depending. but, that's sort of her grounding point, i suppose you could call it?

i like to humanize her in a way when i write her, having her focused on one universe at a time, physically and mentally present there, during the timeline of my threads. it also helps when it comes to writing the more human parts of her personality and her motivations.

the problem with writing death as a being with emotions, a soul (maybe), feelings is that having her also be omnipresent is a bit difficult at the same time. so, although the answer is technically yes, it's not likely i'll mention this all that often in threads because that brings up some difficulty. she has a physical self, and can be touched, so there very much is a her as well. and she can mentally exist wherever she is, and be fully present in the moment.

but if you think about it from a technical perspective, she isn't all there, not fully, if you really think about it, and even in the show there's a lot of times in which she literally just disappears. i don't think, at least in the way i write her, that there are "other" conscious versions of herself walking around that she could run into. i think it's a subconscious thing, her existence just is everywhere, and she takes bodies and souls without thinking about it. if you can visualize mentally, the idea of her soul being split into a trillion difference instances, the essence of her off doing her job as death. while the emotional, mental part of her is one place at a time. but then of course this brings up the conversation of when does she actually choose to be the one mentally present to help a soul cross over, so i do think that her omnipresent selves have to have some bits of her, some pieces of her personality. see where it gets hard to conceptualize??? lmao

basically, i think the easiest way to describe it is that if you want the real, talking, walking rio vidal, with a sometimes-human face and a wicked laugh, you'll need to find the real thing. the part of her with a heart, exists as one sort of cosmic being, and the rest of her presence, concept and existence stretches across everything at all times.

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

People keep on asking for more Baby Robin and Papadile so here is more Baby Robin and Papadile. Now never ask anything from me ever again

Ellie and Raven have a complex relationship

So! This is an AU where Dan is Trigon, and Ellie joined the Teen Titans. It's not really a Story, but I thought it was funny.

...

Robin: I have a Question for the two of you.

Ellie: What's up?

Raven: Hm?

Robin: You guys call eachother Sisters, Cousins, and in one case you called eachother Aunt and Niece. What's your exact relation?

Ellie: Well that's tricky. See, my Dad is the King of the Infinite Realms, and his true name is Danny. Raven's dad is Trigon, but his true name is Dante.

Robin: And are Danny and Dante brothers?

Raven: No, not technically. See, Dante is an Evil Alternate Future Version of Danny, so they are technically the same Person. But then Dante came to the past, got beaten by Danny, and got shoved into a Mortal body for a while.

Ellie: If that was all, they we could just call eachother Sisters or Cousins. Our Dad's are technically the Same Person, but they consider eachother Brothers.

Raven: Except Ellie isn't a normal daughter.

Robin: What? How?

Ellie: I'm technically a Clone if Danny, not his Daughter. So I'm simultaneously Raven's Sister, Cousin, and Parent since I'm a Copy of a version of her Dad, but I could also be considered her Aunt since Danny and I called eachother siblings before we decided I was his Daughter.

Raven: So Ellie is my Sister/Cousin/Aunt/Mom/Dad.

Robin: ...what the hell.

I was reading - or rather watching - the book dedicated to Daydream Hour released this year, and I came across some pages dedicated to the various characters who give each other Christmas presents. I found it very funny from what little I understood with Google Lens, and was wondering if there was an unofficial English translation. Thanks in advance if you can find it. P.S Pages from 130 to 135 in case you don't understand which ones I mean.

Oh boy, I do have a translation but I think this version is so confusing, it's from when it was in ryoko kui's blog i think

Too much information for me LOL

Here's the untranslated daydream hour version

Yes that's where the Floke family christmas pic comes from.

“When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.”

HEY guess who's being completely normal about episode 7 :)

anyway it sure ain't me, so I made myself a baby Malleus! I used the single-headed version of Choly Knight's hydra pattern (link will be in replies ↓↓↓) as a base, and just messed with some of the pieces to make him more Mall-y. including sewing all those little claw pieces, then pinning them on and realizing I actually liked him better without them...oh well. to heck with accuracy, I want stubby little dragon legs!

unfortunately, he doesn't photograph very well, especially his forehead scales (they're there! I promise!) (they're made of glitter HTV so they are actually SPARKLY in real life, yet apparently they come out completely invisible in photos, woe). but he is super cuddly and soft so I'm happy with him! just as in canon, he is a product of LOVE. :>
