there is a creature creaching on your dashboard

[mantisgodsdomain]

the house is established vi and tsm2 vi play a board game together who do you think is winning

The House Is Established Vi has approximately fifty seven years of experience in cheating at games and approximately zero years of experience with board games but it's very good at catching on to new things and will be DELIGHTED to play something new after a century of almost nothing being new so it mostly depends on how quickly tsm2 Vi can catch on to its sleight of hand and start cheating back

[bugs-in-situations]

finally drew tsm2 hoaxe/the wasp wizard he's a funny little guy. he roughly takes venus's role, being the boss of chapter two and then showing up randomly for healing later

the healing comes from these little will o' the wisp things

What is Snakemonsters 2 Vi's relation with HB?

hb is 1. one of the very few bees left from the same generation as vi and 2. one of the very few bees to take any sort of interest in getting to know her (even if for entirely scientific reasons) so vi latched on to her like a barnacle

we're trying to work more on the roleswap aspect of tsm2 so we're tossing around the idea of the explorer's association being attached to the bee kingdom instead of the ants. in that case, hb would be sort of like rebecca in a way? she's not super important to the story, just someone left for vi to relate to in any way at all

also in that case, vi would learn her own equivalent of bubble shield in a very different circumstance. possibly north-related. that's a different post because we don't have that all Thought About yet

Fungus Vi, 1, 3, 13, 19. Your choice of Mothiva, 9, 4, 19. Your choice of Selkie, 11, 7

1 describe what [fungus vi] looks like physically

she's varying shades of green and greenish blue, as we couldn't think of a better color for wind magic. as with snakemonsters leif, she's very visually fungal, with prominent growths on her head, legs, and abdomen. she has a unique swirl pattern on her wings and is always staring like this O_O

3 what is [fungus vi]'s stance on religion

vi being completely unimpressed by the divine once the novelty of seeing venus wears off is fairly consistent across our AUs. this version is "she makes plants grow and i can't? so what? i control the wind and she can't do that. she's not That powerful" flavored

13 how does [fungus vi] deal with pain, physical or emotional

by complaining about being hurt but not actually accepting help for it, usually

19 how does [fungus vi] connect with people around them

sort of in the way a shelter rescue cat connects with a new owner. you gotta be patient and if you try to force her to socialize it will make the situation worse for everyone. if she's warmed up to someone then she'll start engaging in typical vi humor and banter, and in the physical sense she's quite a lot more cuddly than most other vi-riations (vi variations) (for parasite reasons)

9 how does [selkie mothiva] fare in cold or hot climates

she Does Not like being in places that are too hot or humid. she yearns for the cold arid steppes in Middle of Nowhere, Asia and she's been cursed to live in brazil. truly she suffers more than anyone else we've written

4 how does [evprim mothiva] act when she's sick

pathetically

19 how does [snakemonsters mothiva] connect with people around her

this is... something that's uniquely difficult for her! sirens in general have a brand of magic that makes genuine connection with others a struggle, and for mothiva it's nearly impossible, as anyone who hears her speak will be wrapped in infatuation that's impossible to see through. she trends towards forms of connection that involve minimal verbal communication in the few close relationships she does maintain as a result

11 how is [selkie kabbu] seen by people [in the north]

as a prize, more often than not. selkies are very rare there, and the population of bugs who would poach a selkie for their pelt is more substantial. that was most of his motivation for traveling to bugaria, more than wanting to see bugaria itself

7 what's a food that [selkie vi] would never turn down

vi is the absolute stereotype of her species when it comes to cheese. cheese For Bugs is less varied than cheese For Humans since the only source of "milk" is aphids, but vi can still detect the minor differences and has an elaborate ranking of which cheeses are better. she'll take any of it regardless, and explain at length where it is on her cheese ranking and why while eating it

Hmm we have at least one fungus thought now. Vital & important question for Snakemonsters 2: does The Hive still exist by the time that Vi escapes Snakemouth Den, and how do they react to TSM retrieving a very formerly dead bee from the depths of Snakemouth Den?

the hive still exists, but there's only like two (2) bees left from the previous generation so nobody knows vi and she doesn't know anyone either. we'd imagine the general reaction is A Whole Lot Of Confusion and probably concern about the possibility of her propagating, but all of the actual worry for her is... impersonal. the hive may not be putting her in the child blender themselves in this timeline but it seems to vi that they don't actually care about what happened that much

Someone liked the post of tsm2 and The House Vi playing Monopoly together so we have to do the secret board game lore for The House now. Watching Leif play Kjdrira in any manner of board game is like watching one of those fucking stupid high-level chess tournaments where both opponents are playing, like, five dozen steps ahead and they're, like, counteracting strategies that are full game states ahead, and watching Leif play Vi and ZB-159 is like watching that exact same chessmaster lose miserably at chess against a chihuahua and a golden retriever.
