#what is going on in the main branch
Text
The Curse of the Moriyama Family
In another novel, our protagonist is a young woman. Married off to the Moriyama clan, she lives a solitary life, trapped before she could run away. Her husband Kengo does not kiss her; he does not have dinner with her. Her only company are her bodyguards... Until she has her first son: Ichirou Moriyama.
Part of her wishes that he was never born. For when he is birthed, it is Kengo who holds him. It is Kengo who does not give him back. Her heart screams when she realises. Ichirou's last embrace from his mother was in the womb. Even his name has no trace of her. He is branded as what he is: Kengo's first son. Kengo's heir. He never sees her again.
Her loneliness prevails; every day seems meaningless. The sliver of intimacy she gets is when Kengo is tired and has to rest in their apartment. Knowing he is in the building is more warmth than she gets from him in a year. It cannot be said what changed if it is Kengo's pale complexion, the dullness of the season, the tension in the main branch... Except that one evening, her husband joins her in her room, a chessboard set up in front of the fire and an empty chair.
It's a small stroke of fire; it burns slowly. When Kengo is not home, she resigns herself to watching television. Her brother-in-law has amassed a following for a new sport; they call it Exy. Her husband laughs at it but she sees the stubborn glint in the Tetsuji's friend's eye. Kayleigh Day says that Exy is the future; she believes it.
It is a mistake, in retrospect, for her to forget the cruelty of the Moriyamas. But she has become so cold. Kengo is the only sun she gets, the warmth that makes her days bearable. He kisses her sweetly and for a night she believes he is just a man. A man who cares for her. She forgets the unkindness of Moriyama men; she wakes up alone.
Many moons later, her hands drip blood onto the ivory tile, her mirror smashed into thousands of pieces - morning sickness. She knows where this is going.
It isn't worth screaming over: Kengo tells her that she cannot have her baby. His empire does not need a second son. Her tears trail down her face; her lip quivers at how he says the words. Cutthroat. Like her baby can be discarded. As if she won't feel the pain of him being taken away. Flashes of her first birth stab her heart over and over again. Her knees buckle to the floor and all she can do is beg. His face remains unchanged.
It is the night of her surgery, she sits in her bathroom, hugging her wrists and staring down the blade. She cannot lose another child; she feels like she may die. Her hands shake as she tries to psych herself up to the task, to pick up the sharp knife. The fluorescent lights drown her vision, tears flood her face... It reminds her of her wedding night, when she tried to escape through the venue's back window, crawl out the bathroom and run to god knows where-
-Her hand stills.
Motels are hard to come by, her racing heart hates the lack of exits in hotels, and nobody seems trustworthy... She finds it easier to sleep in back alleys. The lack of rest and food makes it so she has not grown too big and a kind stranger lent her a large duffel coat to keep away the cold (it swallows the signs of her belly). Money has been hard to come by and she cannot get on another bus. She hopes not to give birth soon.
Having a fever is not the worst part of giving birth, but it does not make it any less unbearable. It is a laborious process, and after it is done, she passes out, but not before sneaking a glance at her new baby. Wrapped in her old clothes and flushed with winter's cold, he lets out a soft cry. She hugs him tight, shielding him from the harsh winds, before her vision bleeds black at the edges and she hears the gasps of crowding strangers.
When her eyes burst open, the sterile walls of the hospital and a hand on her arm made her realise that it was not death who was speaking to her. Kengo was stroking her skin, muttering a prayer above her before his eyes met hers. Wet with tears. Wet because he was mourning. Later, the nurse hands her son, and her husband gives her that same remorseful gaze. Straight through her. Like a ghost.
"Jiro sleeps well," he whispers. He has an eerie smile on his skin, one that she wishes she could claw. Jiro. Second son. Her heart burns; her fingers clench.
"His name is not Jiro."
It is the first time she sees Kengo's mask slip from his face. It makes her death almost worth it.
Kengo's right-hand man is a hideous beast: Nathan Wesninski. Many men have been tortured by his knife, squealing like pigs. Under the Baltimore Butcher, death is welcomed eagerly. She peers up at him, and she can't help but shudder under his pale blue eyes.
From the beginning, she never expected a good life. Death always loomed over her. But in this moment, she waits, finally ready to accept it. Her husband sits in the chair furthest from the crime scene, cigarette puffing grey clouds from his lips as he avoids her hardened stare.
"You never told me what our son is to be called, Riko," he calls out, "I will give you that... before your death."
There is not much time to research baby names while on the run from the mafia. Her baby's health and survival always seemed to be the bigger priority. Now, she is at the guillotine. It is time for her baby to be taken from her once again.
Riko knows that it is a small price to pay- her life in exchange for her baby's. Unlike her firstborn, he will never be held by Kengo. Her husband has told her that he is to be discarded - left to his brother. Tetsuji will raise her son in Castle Evermore, the nest for tomorrow's Exy prodigies. Kayleigh Day's smile flickers in her mind. It is news that lets Riko be at peace.
Yet, here, she has unfinished business. The chance to do what she could never do before. Her baby will always hold a trace of her.
Riko can finally run away.
(A:N: This is me trying to avoid working on my WIP,,, Just straight up writing then posting,,, less structured than I'd like but GOD the idea of this unnamed character was so intriguing!!! The mafia side of AFTG ....)
#aftg#riko moriyama#kengo moriyama#creative writing#I was inspired by this EC line...#idk if nora has said different but I couldn't stop thinking about this cursed family#so this is my crazed scrawling.#pre canon#we don't know anything about her?#Also isn't it wild that Kengo has a brother! But all of a sudden Ichirou cant?? so she dies?? HELLO#what is going on in the main branch#feel free to ignore#i'm trying to release some creativity and idk what this story quite is but hey!

i know tommy is a tertiary character or whatever but after rewatching all the begins i desperately want to hear him talk more about that time at the 118 from his perspective. i want to know if he was afraid! i want to know if he wasn’t! how much did he know about himself by then, an inkling? nothing at all? all of it?? i want to know about his guilt and bridging the gap to friendship and if having made amends back then feels any different now that he isn’t hiding anymore…
#AND I KNOW WE PROBABLY WONT!! there aren’t enough minutes in an episode and they’re not going to spend development time on#a character who isn’t main cast#but i want to KNOW!!!#they were all friendly by the end of his time at the 118#he was a lot worse when chimney started#but he does become the first one after eli to get extend an olive branch and bring Chim into the fold#and he makes A comment with hen but even that could be read as a poorly landed joke at east coasters not at hen#especially recontextualizing shots of him when hen takes her stand#like! i want to know! with this new information abt him. what was going thru his head#the quick shots of him looking vaguely shamed and nervous… with new context… MAN#they really struck gold on accident dude i still can’t believe how much shit lined up UNINTENTIONALLY#like. wasn’t the ‘you don’t find it son you make it’ guy named thomas#Buck’s life being defined by multiple gay men named tom#anyways. I haven’t felt normal in weeks#iinryer post

My kingdom for a "So you say” (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#Helix#ZEX#Dexter Favin#Hhhh they ;; Their ''first'' interaction!#Officially up to three cryings - not that I'm surprised I love Dex <3#My head was fully abuzz during this scene there are so so so many interesting details!#So interesting to see which ''held true'' and which were left behind - which ones became Helix while others didn't!#At this point I almost see Helix as an alternate timeline - kind of like how Defeated is a branching arm off the main body#Not terribly dissimilar but the details that are different are too interesting to let go of so just make it all canon in its own way! Hehe#Especially since Helix is largely from Max's 3rd person perspective so the way he tells it is different than Dexter haha#Very interesting what he leaves out in his retelling hehehehe ♪♫#Anyhow enough of Max he's not even here rn sheesh ♪ ZEX! And Dexter ;;#Hghhghh it's all set up so deviously <3 That fact that up to this point ZEX has been relying on Zelnick especially to give him credence#And then as soon as someone he ''knows he trusts'' comes to throw a wrench into things - Dexter has as much weight or more!#He's specifically engineered to sow doubt and confusion! Gosh what a place to grow his character from <3 <3#ZEX's pride undoes him completely it's So well written ♥ Truly a fatal flaw for VUX and the way he's picked apart aghh <3#And?? The fact that I can hear ''Max's'' voice in ZEX's syntax as soon as he doesn't have a good argument??? Hello????#I know they come from the same base but like!! How!!! Masterful 💖#As I drew it it's a bit out of order - Dexter says he can't protect Max (😭) before ZEX starts crying it all got a bit mixed in my head#I was very emotional at the time you understand haha#It's all so sad! They're so close in some ways to being or having what the other wants but both fall just short#No wonder they took what little comfort in each other they could <3 ZEX comforted by his voice and Dex comforted by caring for his body#They have so little to offer each other trapped as they are ;;#It's all so interesting and distressing!! There's so much to think about as everything falls into place!

Recent game related things .. hrmm...
#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff#so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the#actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically#like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common#language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0#actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other#art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks#with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky#if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i#you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby#or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning#'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real#Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere#around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an#independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed#upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and#political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild#country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area#border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change#or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area#feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that#handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever#ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background#of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day#have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T#As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

Throwing my hat in the relationship chart ring. 1bit/beat charts credit to @//likesaly and @///silvercrane14, if this bothers either of you please let me know so I can delete it!
1bit relationship spaghetti breakdown:
Platonic
Romantic
Familial
Negative
#Also feel free to ask for elaboration on anything#pieceofcake.txt#Saying Koza is related to the cats is weird but I didn't want to put “pseudo-familial” for Merue and Shitsuna so whatever#adoptive family is family(cats count)#Replaced the close friends line with respect but in hindsight 'friends' could range anywhere from besties to#spoke a couple of times and got along pretty well. Oh well#the 1bit one in particular's timeline is wonky because I don't think a lot of these characters would know each other /during/ 1bit but that#it also leaves out a lot of relationships that would have formed by the timeskip/relationships that would've developed and changed by then#Was tempted to add the main characters to the 1beat chart but(if my 1bit chart wasn't apparent enough) I'm very flippant about how#I want the main character relationships to go#There wouldn't be much change tbh. More of them would be friends maybe.#I did say Izuchi was familiar with the Blue Sun trio to an extent but I lied#which is to say I forgot that they said Blue Sun College of Music and not just a general college#Going to run with it having other branches in the area so maybe he's /heard/ of them or has even watched them perform before#But they're not like schoolmates or anything#I kind of want Sora to be friends with the cats because he shares a va with one of them but I have no idea what circumstances#would lead to them meeting#Also intrapersonal relationships between the fatcats but I haven't decided on those#Got a little too silly with the ''dislike'' lines for Sora and just ended up opting to remove them entirely#they're there in spirit though

when i was 12 this was the coolest most mindblowing shit ever i was genuinely so obsessed with it I'd read it very day like the bible. I would die for a version of this with the post 3D world content over my country
#i hve vs super mario bros on my switch bc i wanted to chronologically play through the storied hero timeline and i couldnt find a rom#I think it has the same appeal as spid.erverse kinda except instead of multiple different people filling the same role as sp.iderman its#the same guy it's still mario but the changes come from things going differently at certain points in his life do you GET ME!!#LIKE!!!!!!!! MOST OF IT'S DETERMINED BY WHAT HAPPENS IN YOSHIS ISLAND AND THERES ALTERNATIVE PATHS IF HE WINS OR FAILS!!! GAME OVERS HAVE#CONSEQUENCES THAT BRANCH INTO THEIR OWN TIMELINES MARIO CAN END UP WITH DIFFERENT PARENTS ITS SO COOLLLLLL#and i love how each of the major branches has their own theme like “action hero” is the one with all the gameplay-focused#mainline titles “storied hero” is the one with all the M&L rpgs and more plot-heavier stuff and “blue collar hero” is this third one#with all the donkey kong titles and wackier/arcade titles WHERE i might add his design had a blue shirt and red overalls#and the tl builds off of those games into nsmb so i like to hc that he kept his early 80s design well into the later games <-autistic sorry#AND how thetimelines represent how their different backstories have influenced their personalities and thought processes a little like#what happened to mario in the blue collar branch like he either becomes EVILL!!!! and kidnaps donkey kong leading to dkjr or#divorces peach and has a self isolation arc after nsmb2 whats going on w him...#and i LOVE how all of them have a sort of common event where bowser invades the mushroom kingdom and in each timeline its#represented by a different variation of the original super mario bros game with action hero's event being represented by smb itself#which is fitting since thats the branch where mario and luigi ended up with their intended parents and everything went as planned#and i think a general theme here is that the more things go against intention the sillier it gets dont even get me STARTED on the time#travel shenanigans in bottom right which lead into the handheld remakes i love this so much its unreal#i do wish paper mario wasnt explained away as a dream but like thats its whole other world and art style and itd be difficult#to fit it into one of the major branches so i get why it was done. i probably wouldve just given it its own isolated bubble in the corner#at that rate i probably wouldve added so much more shit to the main tl im talking game&watch games i look at this and i see a pitch#for a full feature length autism production you understand

They should let Querl have those "I'm way too tired to even begin figuring out what you are on about" low empathy moments.
He definitely does have a spectrum of degrees of expression when it comes to his own feelings/responses to others but yeah.
In general we need to see more of that low-empathy but high compassion, bring it back, because it makes for great dynamic and story telling to drive home that just because someone is nice and may show empathy doesn't mean they are a good person and someone you can trust. I feel it's important for people to really recognize this.
#not sure if this is where you were going but this is where i took it#querl dox#i haven't even read all of the current losh stuff but what i have i just couldn't engage with to the same degree as others#which is sad because losh is sort of like the compass of the main continuity for dc even if they have nothing to do with one another#most of the time#like whatever losh exists is a marker for what continuity we are in so it's sort of important#idk i went off there i just want dc to take it seriously instead of going the comedy route#which i mean bendis is sort of known for a certain branch of humor but come on

also no one I know of the small circle of Genshin players irl is keeping up with the main story right now so I have to go through the most jarring situations sometimes and then just Move On With My Life without DMing someone 8000 times in a row??? Okay.
#Same with character quests!!!#I perceive a Genshin impact experience and I’m supposed to act like my brain chemistry is unaltered???#When I was going thru the bulk of Sumeru and the Fontaine#Good lord.#At least the. I knew some people that had done those tho#But one person stopped to take a Genshin break sometime after sumeru#Another has t played since finishing Fontaine#Partner is still in early sumeru#Other friend is still in inazuma#Me falling to my knees today: caribert….. not again…..#And none of them have done cyno quest 2 lol#That was a fun one#WHAT ABOUT NATLAN NONE OF TUEM ARE GONNA KNOW NATLAN LORE WAHHHH#me now that I’m caught up: burdened with knowledge#Well I actually still have like 8000 other quests to do lol#Like the branching archon quests that aren’t the MAIN main story but unlock from it#Like I still have one from liyue to do that I keep forgetting is there lol 😭#And sooooo many character stories and hang outs#Omg I keep forgetting I can do kaeyas hang out now!!!!!!!!#Beloved…..

retconning stroud out of the deep roads so i can shove laure amell and the hawke siblings and varric and anders all into the same little camp. they would all have such a bad time
#carver: dying of blight. with an inferiority complex. but mostly dying#danie: MY BROTHER!!! MY BABY BROTJER HELP HIM!!!!!#anders: oh god oh fuck. wait a minute. i recognize this area. isnt this where the commander should be? oh hell#varric: we are all going to 🪦die⚰️ in a 🕳 hole. not even a GOOD hole#warden commander laure amell of ferelden and amaranthine: oh. anders. glad you're not dead or a darkspawn but Why The Fuck Are You Here#anders: oh hell. uh.#warden commander laure amell of ferelden and amaranthine: actually shut up. darkspawn incoming. its too open here so follow me to camp#'uh- commander-' 'shut it. there are shrieks about. this is a nasty area to be in with non-wardens' [glaring disapprovingly]#they awkwardly walk to camp. sigrun and a couple other wardens are there. they all sit down & drop their stuff#amell sits on a stump and pulls out a corked bottle. pops the cork. sniffs it. takes a swig. her white hair almost seems to glow?#she coughs then asks anders 'so why *are* you this far in the deep roads with a band of nonwardens? how'd you even get here?'#anders pulls out the map and hands it over. she looks at it. her expression darkens. she rolls up the map and says 'Anders.' he looks up.#she whaps him on the head with the map and gripes 'do you have ANY idea how long I spent looking for these fucking maps?!' whap 'you dick!'#she whaps him one more time then stuffs the maps into her bag. 'that still doesn't tell me WHY you're here. out with it.'#varric speaks up: 'my asshole brother locked us in a thaig. we came down on an expedition and found an idol that he betrayed us for'#amell frowns. 'a *thaig*? there aren't any records in the shaperate of any out this far. this isn't even a main branch of the deep roads.'#'it could be ancient!' sigrun offers 'or an unsavory secret the shaperate 'lost'. like Caridin?' amell nods & turns back to varric.#'so you're looking for a way out.' they nod. 'and just happened to come by this way?' anders says 'no commander- we need your help.'#amell takes another swig of her bottle. her hair is definitely glowing slightly. 'who *doesn't* these days. but for a pair of old friends-'#she winks at anders. 'what is it you need?' danie interrupts. '-please- my brother is sick- if you can't help him he'll die!'#amell looks at hawke then at carver. gets up and steps over to him. kneels in front of him and unceremoniously grabs his face#tilts his chin up (carotid + jugular blackened) peels his eyelid back (sclera greying and bloodshot) pries open his mouth (tongue greying)#then releases his head and stands shaking her hands. 'oh yeah. that's blight for sure. this is why you sought me out?' anders nods.#'we'll take him. but you know- he may not survive the joining.' 'any chance is better than letting him die!' 'i agree.' amell says coolly.#'youre lucky. we can do it here but the prep will take time. rest. eat. be on your guard. and DO NOT touch my whiskey if you're not a mage.'#it takes like a day of prep. also no one has used amell's name so they havent figured out the Cousins thing yet#eventually amell pulls carver over to the fire and hands him a cup of the joining potion and says 'you get one warning. *don't flinch.*'#he drinks it. he lives. but he's unconscious. amell sends the party on their way#to anders: here. i found this not long after you left. *hands him the phylactery* you and justice be careful. it's getting chaotic out there#to hawke: for what it's worth im sorry. if ever you need the wardens' assistance i grant it under the authority of warden-commander amell

if microsoft was smart they would make a dedicated crash bandicoot studio called "wumpa studio" or something and make crash 5 along with spinoffs (like a puzzle game for coco, tomb raider-style game for tawna, cooking simulator for dingodile, etc etc)
#everyone clowns on the shadow game from sonic but it had the right idea of just branching out LOL#without impeding on what ppl know the main series for#i think the super mario series does this really well with stuff like mario RPG and odyssey co-existing#crash RPG would go hard ngl.....#crash bandicoot

ok you’ve convinced me to watch bsd so where can I watch it? and do I need to read the comics? if so, in what order and where can I read them?
EEK OMG YAY! okay so one thing about me im a little student girlie #ihaventboughtmilkinaweek so i will always consume media the free way lmao. the site i read the bsd manga on is 'bsdmanga.com' which seems very legit but does also do pop ups a lot for me so just make sure you've got an adblock going. if you want to properly buy them though ive seen bsd being sold in almost every waterstones! as for the anime, the sub and dub were both free on crunchyroll AND funimation back when i first started watching it, but not anymore bc everything is awful. the main less-legit site i use for anime is 'animesuge' and that has it there :)
#animesuge has literally never let me down i swear by it but like i said im p sure it's not as official#so again just be sure you've got an adblock!#okay okay back to bsd SO there's 4 seasons (the 4th currently airing!) as well as a spin-off called bsd wan that's more silly/lighthearted#and also two films in the form of dead apple (my favourite anime film of all time) and the beast live action#that i havent watched yet bc my go-to piraters are LETTING ME DOWN#as for the manga it's a tad confusing at first glance so i'll give u a quick rundown bc i promise it's not as intimidating as it seems#like it's a GOOD things that bsd has sooooooo much content like even i havent consumed it all yet im not strong enough#so there's the main manga that's now on chapter 105.5 (a VERY good chapter)#but i started reading where the anime ended (a good halfway through) and havent felt any problem with that#so if u dont want to tackle the entire thing you could do that!#there's also a bunch of light novels that act as prequels and/or is just asagiri writing fanfiction for his own story lmao#like what was beast if not fanfiction come ON#so yeah those are very good also#there's a lot online about what order to watch/read it all in if that bothers you#but honestly you should be fine sticking to the main content (the anime and main manga) and if you like it you can branch out#i watched all the animated content first before i even touched the manga/novels and that worked well for me#i will say i personally found the anime really slow for a while so my rule with reccing bsd is to tell people to at least wait for chuuya#lmfao like once it gets going it GETS GOING and also he is the most character of any media EVER#so just give it a chance!#okay ill stop talking now <3#bsd#ask

the visual imagery of a partially drowned cemetery is extremely cool in theory as a showdown spot but as someone who lives on the gulf coast, a few hours from new orleans, i am so so so unnerved by the idea. thats floating corpses o'clock right there. that's the swimming dead. like maybe it's a historical cemetery so theres no actual bodies left but STILL. get them headstones somewhere else for the love of god
#the visceral southern reaction to seeing a partially submerged cemetery#why do you think theres so many mausoleums! because bodies sometimes FLOAT UP#it's a NIGHTMARE#i don't actually know what the authorities might do with historical cemeteries that get flooded permanently#enough to need a 'deep water' warning sign#i would HOPE they'd at least rescue the headstones. actually this sounds like a cool rabbit hole to fall down at some point#i wonder if caitlin doughty's ever covered this#brb about to go write some random barely-connected-to-canon owl house fanfic about. this random cemetery.#they have to be living somewhere in the northeast right? bc of the witch-hunting town?#so really where is all this water coming from unless they are RIGHT near the coast but it's all so wooded#if it's from torrential rains then the water should evaporate/sink in before a warning sign is necessary right?#idk i don't actually know jack about northeastern usa topography#ok its time to shut up now. it's time to shut up and do some research#or idk do something thats actually productive with my time#but i really wanna know about flooded cemeteries now soooooo#actually theres a historical cemetery behind my local library's main branch! i wonder if there's reference books about it somewhere#or if i can ask someone there hmmmmmmmm#YALL........ rabbit holes upon rabbit holes it's time to resurrect (lmao) my dormant interest in cemetery practices#see if any of my theories hold any water (lmao)

Cats have always been a huge part of my life and the more I think about my story and how it’s growing I’m unsure of what kinda cat I want to go with.
While kinda used a lot lions are always a great option especially because they are social by nature. Tigers are used as much but also stripes are a bit tiring to draw lol.
Some interesting extinct species (from the wild/generally extinct) that could be interesting are the cape lions, American lions, South African lion, or the snow leopard.
If I want to go more old extinct saber toothed cats are a option.
Orrr I could stay sorta easy terrain and just go with some wild cat species like the ocelot, European wild cat etc
Idk just stuck
#I think big cats would be fun#especially as I want my cats to need a lot of space#the thing is that I want the cats to mingle with a outsife group#so maybe the main focus (branch) is based off lions while the outsiders who came from#a forest are some form of jaguar?#maybe even Lynx. love a good Lynx#I could go full fantasy and do like griphons but hmmm idk#I do love them. woudk open a lot of idea#but it’s also farther from real life which is what I kinda didn’t want to do#ruse rambles#my story#brainstorming

need to do smth w the idea of iterations of grisha displaced in space and time post devouring the unicorns young attempting to kill grisha throughout their life and Other grishas killing those ones in order to assure their life is carried out properly. not out of any concern of timeline fuckery or a genuine wish to live but bc that grisha NEEDS to live in order to suffer the agonies of their life and atone for the sins to be. and these frequent attacks play a big role in influencing grisha throughout their life and its just a constant spiraling case of grishas on top of grishas inadvertently guiding other grishas to make the same choices which they already hate their current self for
#taking the psuedo suicide ideas from engie bee and giving them to grisha LOL#like grisha watches a mystery assassin draw a blade from their own blood and FEELS how truly strange+unique it is and--#--that is what inspires them to later go thru with the very dangerous almost fatal process of forging a blade from their own--#--blood. things like that. a grisha warns them of the mass murder of their brethren to come and another grisha tries to kill them the--#--night they flee for the audacity of such cowardice and a third kills that one. maybe a particularly fucked up--#--grisha was behind the conspiracy+mass culling as a whole ?#thule gets real nervous around any timeline fuckery the same as they do w the thought of Permanent death so--#--the main honey sweet planet has like. idk how to word it but its got smth like a Solid timeline run throughout no--#--matter what. even though with the grisha fuckery and other unicorn related stuff and babble+mutter and the shepherd constantly--#--splitting it into doomed dead branches in order to feed the animate intestines of the existence dragon--#--it should be INCREDIBLY fucked up it just Is Not#WAH. something with the idea of grisha and their shattered mirror copies being an everpresent--#--Staple in the timeline somehow ? fully bc the idea of it is cool LOL idk what that would actually Mean or Represent or anything

I've really got my work cut out for me this time I have NO IDEA which GX character I'm gonna draw on the cover of tortured poets ✋😭
#because like nobody really fits content wise yknow??#but like aesthetically? I'm drawn to aster? who yeah is a repeat because I put him on folklore but we all know I don’t care about repeating#but also if I'm allowed to branch out of the main characters which I mean it's my rules so yeah I can do whoever I want#I'm kinda fixed on the idea of echo.....#that poor poor girl who was murdered by the piece of shit guy she was in love with and for what?#tbh might do variants so I can do aster and echo just like for fun? I DON'T KNOW#ALL I KNOW IS THIS ALBUM IS ALL I'M GOING TO BE LISTENING TO FOR THE NEXT MONTH#yugioh gx characters as taylor swoft album covers#taylor swift#ts ttpd#ttpd the anthology
