Tattletale/Lisa Wilbourn

The ultimate high school mean girl. Has the super power of ‘cold reads your biggest secrets then hurts your feelings with them’. Grew up rich. Constantly manipulates all of her friends. Is generally manipulative. Is blond. She deserves to win this, 100%

Literal superpower is bullying people. Pissed off a good chunk of the most powerful people in the setting by being targetedly mean.

She's blonde. She's very mean

She is blonde. She is a supervillain. She uses her power to make superhumanly accurate guesses about how to best f*k with people.

Rachel

Was the protagonists first and most valued friends until she decided she was jealous of him and tried to kill him I've heard that ToG is so popular and Rachel so well know and hated that in South Korea being called Rachel is an insult

Challenging a Queen from Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

Challenging a Queen:

The main selling point of Stray Gods is the music. Musical numbers happen in-universe and the choices you make have a tangible effect on both the song and characters. There are multiple decision points in each song letting you choose between one of three paths to take, giving a ton of variation per song.

There are four different OSTs that highlight the different choices you can make. The red, blue, and green editions show what songs sound like when sticking to a consistent tone throughout. The Pantheon edition mixes choices in way that is both similar to how a real person might play and avoids too much overlap with the other main versions. The main composer for the game, Austin Wintory, made a video explaining how the different versions compare and contrast along with some extra behind the scenes tidbits.

I just love how instead of just having plug and play verses, songs in Stray Gods went the extra mile to make sure things flowed in to each other in such a way that you can believe each version is a definitive one. With 17 different endings and multiple ways to get there, there’s boundless potential in this song. (I’m not adding the video that shows off all the endings. It’s over an hour and I feel like I’m pushing my luck.)

Thaddeus is the father of main character Lenore

He disowned his daughter when she became disabled and locked her in an attic room because he was ashamed of having a 'hysterical spinster' for a daughter. When he received news that the building she was in burned completely to the ground, he didn't even acknowledge her existence. When he was finally asked about her, his response was 'I don't have a daughter'

Jahad is the adopted father of thirty girls.

He uses his daughters as weapons and kills them if they step out of line.

Rachel

Ok in tower of god everyone's trying to climb the eponymous tower because if you reach the top you can have your greatest desires fulfilled whatever okay Rachel is trying to climb the tower and for whatever reason she was the only person to visit our socially isolated protagonist who lived in a fucking cave and was essentially his only friend (this is before they're climbing the tower). in fact the whole reason the protagonist is climbing is because he wants to be with her and you know what she does? she fucking. fakes an injury and then pushes the protagonist to his death while he's caring for her injury, which he only survives because of his plot armor. she KEEPS BACKSTABBING all her new allies just for a chance to get to the top and yet our protagonist keeps finding it in his heart to forgive her. she's awful and horrible and yet somehow. she is still climbing that thang and you've got to give her credit for that

Galadriel

ok so by the time LotR rolls around she’s a fancy queen in a whole special girl kingdom but she STARTED as the youngest daughter of the youngest son of a king, with five million cousins and three older siblings who were all older and probably better-respected than her; and then some shit happens and the king dies and they all decide to leave Elf Heaven in order to chase down the guy who killed their grandfather, and she is SPECIFICALLY noted as wanting to leave because she wants to rule a kingdom of her own, and she can’t do that in Elf Heaven where there aren’t any openings to rule bc everyone already has a king. so she goes with most of her extended family to try and make their way across the ocean and back to the continent their grandparents travelled to Elf Heaven from, where they hope to avenge the king and also rule some kingdoms (although it’s worth noting!! that other people already live there, and they all KNOW this), and then some more stuff happens and some of her cousins on the “leaving” side start a fight that escalates into a pitched battle where they kill! her mother’s father’s people! (bc she’s also a princess on her mom’s side, lol) and in some versions tolkien decided that she actually fought AGAINST her cousins and killed some people in defense of her mom’s side (which is a BIG DEAL for an elf to Choose to do). after this, her dad is like “actually i Will Not be leaving with you people, murder is Not Okay and i’m going back home to ask the gods for forgiveness and if you had any sense you would too” but galadriel decides SHE’S STILL GOING. anyways then some more stuff happens and her entire extended family on her dad’s side dies, but not before killing some more of her extended family on her mom’s side and also (indirectly) her favorite brother; amongst all this she spends some time as a handmaiden in her great-uncle’s court but eventually decides that that’s not enough for her, so she packs up and heads further east to found her own kingdom, which incidentally will be populated not by her own close family’s subjects, but by some people who at one point were subjects of her great-uncle and may or may not have decided to leave his rule. and then once all the first age drama has died down, even though there is very much a new, undisputed high king of their people on her father’s side who’s still ruling (and doing a damn good job of it), she just Doesn’t swear fealty to him or join his court. instead she founds her own realm. some more intrigue happens and sauron stuff too and she’s forced out of power so she leaves; there’s a war, the king of the place she’s been staying in dies, and then a while later there’s Another big Problem and his son (the new king) just dips, so she just Executively Decides that she’s gonna be in charge of his people now, and THAT’S how she became the Lady of Lothlorien. and then she hangs out being Queen (functionally, if not nominally) there for like two thousand years while occasionally going other places to use her vast magical powers to fight sauron but mostly she just protects her fancy special kingdom. and then LotR happens and she does some mind magic on the entire Fellowship which is also at least a LITTLE creepy, and she admits that she’s Very into the idea of having the power of the One Ring, but doesn’t take it bc she’s got Wisdom now (and also imo bc she’s HAD her chance to rule a kingdom for a very long time so she doesn’t crave power now in the same way she did when she was young). and tolkien writes about her like she’s Perfect but genuinely she’s kinda fucked up and power-hungry! good for her!

Goddess/Bianca

"Goddess" is her preferred name lol, which tells you pretty much all you need to know about her. She's like if a teenage girl got powerful superpowers and used them to become a dictator of an entire planet via mind control, and then retained that control for like a decade with no issues whatsoever

Rachel

The Red Tower (Thomas Ligotti) "Short enough of a story to just link directly!

Quick propaganda: This is a cosmic horror story about a factory that is presumably alive, definitely malevolent, and actively at war with the equally hostile natural world around it! It produces and distributes strange artifacts of a world hostile to humans, including "an ornate music box that, when opened, emitted a brief gurgling or sucking sound in emulation of a dying individual’s death rattle… [and] a pocket watch in a gold casing which opened to reveal a curious timepiece whose numerals were represented by tiny quivering insects while the circling “hands” were reptilian tongues, slender and pink."

It is a story of conflict between man's creation (now set free to run unfettered) and the natural world, and of horrible, unimaginable life struggling to be born in the awful depths of industry, with the dire conclusion that it is developing far worse and more complex creations to inflict upon the world."

The Green Gods (Nathalie & Charles Henneberg) "The long-threatened greenhouse effect which scientists have been predicting as a possible outcome of the world's atmosphere crisis was anticipated years ago in this novel by the talented Nathalie and Charles Henneberg. Here is the world beneath the greenhouse sky, where vegetation has evolved into huge and intelligent species and where humanity finds itself, after its own disasters, reduced more and more to servants of these Green Gods and foreseeing their own extinction. Only the daring sea prince Aran and the puppet queen Atlena stand against doomsday… and this is their surprising adventure."
