WOWOWOW NEW IDEA IN HEAD YIPEE !! HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMAN iTS FIZZAROLLI ANON BACK AGAIN WITH A FIZZAROLLI REQUEST !! SO THIS ONE IS MY FIRST OC X CANON REQUEST SO BE NICE TO MY OC,,,,, https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/liminxl/693314317818494977?source=share
so basically uhhhhhh lemme explain his lore bc this is REALLY really important: moloch grew up with fizzarolli and blitzo in the circus, and yk they all had separate fates (moloch got kicked out of the circus for messing up too much) and hes overall forgot about it besides the occasional photo he finds of all of them together growing up; basically i had the idea of maybe u could write a fic moloch going to ozzies and seeing fizzarolli and is like "bro i cant believe you just abandoned our friendship for this" uhhhhhhhhhh yhea if u dont want to write this dont answer lol i wont mind -w-''
DAMMNNNN YOUR ART!!!!!! SOOO GOOOD!!!!!!,, platoniccc heart eyeessss,,, WOWIEEE!!!!!
but yes!! my first oc x cannon, it would be a blessing to write it ;D ((hopefully i did alright,, sweats.))
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
Fizzarolli x OC, Moloch.
Moloch roamed the streets of Hell, yawning as his tail gathered dust behind him as it was dragged behind on the cold pavement. It was the dead of night, Hell's moon glowed brightly, in contrast to the dark, black clouded sky.
Bored and lonesome, he looked around, seeing the one and only, "House of Asmodeus" Humming on his options, deciding to see what the hype about this place was.
He watched the piles of monsters lined outside of the place, and slid into a crowd of quiet tall, and towering monsters, following them into the establishment, hiding from the security guard by an inch. Exhaling softly he stepped out of the crowd and gasped in amazement. The room was filled head to toe with coloured fire and magic, neon lights lighting up the various stages that had performers. Until Moloch moved his gaze to the main stage. His eyes widened as he took a seat close to it, watching the two popular performers.
"Fizz?" Moloch questioned out-loud, watching with a tilt of his head.
He sung proudly with Asmodeus, before bowing and a loud cheer and jeer erupted from the crowd, screaming and even flowers thrown on stage.
"You're too kind!" Asmo laughed out-loud and picked it up, kissing it, making an audience member scream in response.
"THAT'S MY FLOWER!"
Moloch rolled his eyes, before catching the attention of the starring and silent Fizz. Both of them stared at each other for a minute long.
"Well, it seems like Fizz found a long lost friend" Asmo announced, leaning down and whispering something into his "ear" before waving good bye and disappeared into the curtains.
"MOLOCH" Fizz smiled, rolling off the stage.
"I cant believe you just abandoned our friendship for this" Moloch blinked frowning, crossing his arms.
Fizz sheepishly shrugged, humming.
"IT PAYS WELL"
"and you get to spend time with your new, what? hubbie?"
"FRIEND!" he shrieked.
Moloch sighed in amusement, shaking his head. "'right"
Fizz twiddled his thumbs. "SO, WHY ARE YOU HERE? OH! AND DID YOU WANNA GET A DRINK?"
Moloch looked around at the rest of the patrons, as they all went back to their own performance or food.
"Well, 1, I was here cause I just wanted to? And yeah, sounds good." Moloch smiled, his tail waving back and forth.
Fizz took his hand and lead him to the fancy bar that was tucked away from the public eye, the stages being the main attraction but still had a good reputation of its own.
"WHAT SUITS YOUR FANCY?"
"uh, wine" he asked.
"ONE WINE!" He glared at one of the bartenders, they quickly going to work.
They both sat down at the leather stools, chattering softly, sipping on their chosen of beverages. Talking about their life, catching up.
At the end of the night both were, very, drunk, but their smiles were genuine.
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
TAADAAA!!!
hopefully moloch likes wine, if not i'll correct it :''')))

wanted to try and imitate the cards from the genshin wiki with my traveller oc ira and small mage tsubomi
more under the cut
some lore for tsubomi:
a funny friend from inazuma. she didnt have the best upbringing. she was around 13/14 when she got her vision and has had a permenant sprout pop up from her head since. since the outlawing of visions, her parents have always on edge when she's do her dendro magic. they were probably going to turn her in, they still loved her but they really didnt want to go against their beloved god. tsubomi freaks out and runs off before her family even got close to the inazuma militia. somewhere along the way on her perilous journey to liyue she lost her eye in an attack. while recovering she met an elderly mage from sumeru. they bonded and she studied under them for a while, learning the art of healing and how to better control her dendro powers. they're both catalyst users but her teacher specialised in healing. they cleaned up her wound and gave her an eyepatch. her teacher met venti on her travels and tsubomi was inspired to dye her bangs green. for whatever reason they had to split up shortly before tsubomi arrived in liyue (maybe there was another attack? the miilitia could know she is wanted?) now she hangs around the harbor trying to heal others/show cool dendro magic for mora.
extra: ornate dagger given to her the day/day before she ran away by a rich friend. its decorated with gemstones and expensive silver. her friend had no attachment to it but gave it away so tsubomi could protect herself, remember her friend and, if desperate, could sell it for mora. tsubomi would never sell it and doesnt want to use it, shes a mage after all. it could be a reminder that even though she cant return home, that she still has loved ones waiting for her. and her friend could secretly let her parents know she still lives if needed, tsubomi still sends her friend letters.
vision:
???
about tsubomi: "who, me? my name's tsubomi. pleasure to meet you,"
about inazuma: "you want to know about inazuma? sigh. its not everyday someone asks me about my homeland, so ill answer in brief. it is a beautiful country, but it can also be extremely dangerous if you have a vision, like me..."
tsubimi's interests: "i enjoy studying the land around us. the plants that grow, the colours of the sky around us... the birds and trees! nature is beautiful. truly a blessing from the dendro archon. i'd love to meet them one day, but on the other hand, i almost 'met' the raiden shogun once and that didn't end... well."
more about tsubomi: "you've certainly been hanging around me more. tell me truthfully, do i seem mean to you? i've never been good at keeping friends and... well. oh. are we friends now? should we make a blood oath??"
about travelling: "most folks call you 'traveller' don't they? im also something of a traveller as well. none of my adventures were quite as grand as yours, im sure. but i did learn a lot, i learned to hunt, to hide from enemies, and so much about healing too! feel free to call on me next time you get a paper cut, or better yet, i can teach you how to mend them."
about ira: "because of tagging along with you, i've seen so much of the world. i feel like i've grown as a person. and i only laughed when that slime attacked you for one minute! ah... what i mean to say is... im glad you asked me to come along with you. you're a good friend."
about barbatos: "the anemo archon? my teacher often told me stories about him. they even met him once..! do you think he'd notice i dyed my hair green because of him..? d-do you think its embarrassing? no?!"
about rex lapis: "ah. he seems strong. i think you know much more about him than me... do you think we could meet him one day? ive got all sorts of questions i'd like to ask him..."
about childe: "childe? or is it tartaglia? that tall guy ???? he's my best friend, actually. i mean technically he's my second ever friend. he was the one who helped me settle in liyue. we should go see him sometime, when youre free."

8.Why do you choose to write?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
9.Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?
Istarted with original and am alwaysdoing original at the same time as fic. I’m assuming this question is seekingan elaboration too HAH okay so notable codenamed excursions include:
“FM”(220 pages in private print edition), its sequel “BB” (281 pages privateprint); their reboot “SM” (122k words, not printed) – these 3 had way morepotential than what I was able to bring out of them, so I’d like to reboot itagain someday when I get over how bad these iterations are“D8” (First draft of Brill; 750 pages in private print)
ofcthen there’s also the mentioned Brilliancy which is currently in progress andteetering on the edge of being scrapped and started anew yet again (I willnever be satisfied :P)There’s also a million smaller ideas (ex.

14.Your favorite side pairings to put in?
Glynda/Lisa,Cinder/Winter, Beatrice/Happiness
15. Your guilty writing pleasure?
Ido a lot of rly long scenes of introspection where nothing actually happens butI’m just kind of taking a joyful romp through the mental state and opinions ofwhatever messy female character is narrating at the time. Also, rly edgy narrationmetaphors that aren’t really adding anything but sound cool
16.Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or make it upas you write?
Im80% by the seat of my pants and 20% vague ideas for things that should probablyhappen at some pointthe backstory/setting lore is usually fuckin hard set in elaborate stone tomesthough I plan that shit rly thoroughly (exception to the rule: offal hunt was planned pppprretty well probably thanksto being a collab so I couldn’t just keep it all nebulously floating in myhead)
17.Would you describe yourself as a fast writer?
OnceI get going: h*ck yes
18.How old were you when you started writing?
9-10
19.Why did you start writing?
Akid’s gotta get their edgy OCs down on paper somehow
20.4 sentences randomly sized chunks from your work that you’re proud of
It was September now, and a chill clutched the air in Kumasawa Chiyo’s lungs, squeezing all warmth from her body. Ms. Hachijo had deigned to accompany her, and looked entirely unfazed by it all in her long winter coat. She emerged from the car like a long-dormant spirit, shaking the tethers of Hell from her shoulders, sleek and elegant and deadly. She looked at her wristwatch and clicked her tongue. “We’re early,” she said. (Skin Game)
“We’renot leaving you behind!”Winterflinched as if she had been struck.“Don’t,” she whispered, andthe commanding tone had been replaced with soft pleading. (Offal Hunt)
She wasfabricating it. She was hallucinating. She knew that.
Itdidn’t go away. Textbook knowledge hadn’t dispelled it. She was glad. Her poor,dying brain could at least feel less alone, even if it was an illusion. Thepresence comforted her. Its guiding light felt familiar—a projection of her ownmind—like a reflection in an unsettled pond, similar but distorted inunpredictable ways. Like an ancient echo tying species to their ancestors, shefelt pieces of herself and those she loved in it. (Offal Hunt)
Takano Miyo was fifteen. She had fallen out of the world of humans—no, it was more apt to say she had been taken from it. And the devil Ikuko had seen mercy, pulling her from the cold jaws of God’s dog-eat-dog rule, and given her something invaluable—strength. Perhaps she had exchanged her soul for it, traded over Ikuko’s table in bits and pieces each time they met. A devil had many uses for a soul like Takano’s. (Skin Game)

*turn around in shorts that say its time for my fuckin opinion on the ass* hey sweaty read to choke on my bns hot takes for uh lets see here uh ... t-two thousand words....
first of all... im pretty easily entertained so if u fail to do that its so like something has gone horribly wrong. i can enjoy pretty much anything halfway decent and i hate nitpicking on shit. but nitpicking implies small problems and sometimes the problem is the whole fucking thing. but man the direction bns has been going in is like. it really be like that, it really be just the most blatantly boring and uninspired it could go and here’s my fucking video essay that i will not do you the honour of being read aloud since the force of my opinion would crush your skull like a grape if spoken in the real world.
first of all. i generally didnt have a problem with act1 bns story, i honestly thought it had some cool characters, some COOL as fuck cutscenes and as a person that loves lore juice a lot of the characters held a lot of promise and the diary was a fun read despite being the absolutely worst most stupid way to deliver any sort of lore content.
the circular narrative, the tight ending and the callback to all the characters was pretty well-rounded, a little but hammy but adopting the hongmoon kids nad becoming the master of your school was pretty novel. i really felt like there were so many new places to go with this dynamic, like bns could do something new by giving the mc more stakes in other characters rather than being a complete wildcard drifter.
but they keep doing this fucking thing were they repeat story themes in a way thats become incredibly unwelcome. i can understand why npcs would become recurring characters, why certain objects etc are still relevant but the fact that beat for beat the endgame again is divine mandate, mushins there, namsoyoo in danger and someone gets killed off for the sake of idk tragedy i guess.
i think the worse thing is that the game tries to be tongue in cheek about its tropiness and normally id be like ok cool but the tropes are executed just so fucking blandly and soullessly its kind of insulting like. they really absolutely did not fucking try in the slightest for this one. not at fucking all.
ryu saying ‘oh it would be so bad if you passed out form poison at an inconvenient time’ and the obvious death flags from bunah and bunyang are incredibly grating when you have absolutely no fucking stake in the story, know exactly whats coming cause the writing repeats itself over and over and know the exact same beats.
at the very least most people can stand tropey anime, hell you can even ENJOY it if you are absorbed into the world and characters and the tropes are executed well. but this story is wholesale just same fucking shit slightly different npcs. it feels like they tries to manufacture drama in the most blatantly cheap way and it really lets itself down. i could honestly see them killing ONE of the kids for cheap and dirty tearjerking but man all of them leaving you alone again with jsy is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unebelievably lazy. we have entered asian tv drama levels but at least those are fucking interesting. even the dance number in this act was shit.
i think the most annoying thing is that bns is one of the first mmos i played way back when and i still genuinely like the game up to a point and i like the world and characters. im literally always moaning bout how they did fuck all with the eight masters but gave them the barest most tantalizing hints of interesting characterisation in the diaries. but i think that’s all you need. it doesnt need to be 24/7 ballz to the walls worldending tragedy shock tactics to be entertaining. it somehow feels like they played it so incredibly safe that they looped around and made the worst decision possible and i just really wish theyd hire just your random ass average fucking ln writer cause theyd at least make shit entertaining. like the long form story telling of a truple a game thats reaching nearly 10 acts now should definitely be better than this like. what a fucking way to drop the ball.
now. my second bone to grind. tell me why they actively REMOVED? ALL SIDE QUESTS? what kind of game, especially an mmo would fucking remove its OWN lore? why would that make any fucking sense? especially for how lore-light this game is but how vast its world is like sidequests felt like the absolute BARE minimum way to furnish this admittedly underdeveloped world. they at least gave us that slight illusion of depth and some of them were even fun! interesting! i still remember the sidequest where you go on a ‘hostage rescue mission’ to save an npc’s son who was kidnapped by lycandi and the npc who fucking gave you the mission murders his own son in front of you cause he was bumpin with the lycandi like. it’s not fucking riveting writing but it gave some more context to the places you visit, it’s SOMETHING about the supposed people that inhabit the world and it clearly makes some places more memorable than just ‘cool sky desert’, ‘cool sky city’, ‘cool sky village’.
im vaguely aware that this was done cause it ‘confused players’ who thought they had to do blue quests to level up to endgame and firstable idk why bns pushes endgame as the only ‘good’ part when its like in my humble opinion really fucking boring. you know people play mmos for different reasons? not just to reach lvl 100 super tier omega hongmoon thornbuster breakre 5000 and be no.1 in pvp. just looking flashy and good combat isn’t really enough to compete these days. im guessing its a push to the esports scene but also like you really want to serve one side better by doing relateively arbitrary thing that fucks over pve ppl? like?
also there ARE genuinely people interested in the world and content and story as exemplified by all the oc and various comics and even even some official webcomics like i honestly dont think nc at all in any way nurtures that side of their mmo nearly enough especially when you see how healthy and thriving ff14 and other communities are in their oc scene. the sheer fact that people still stuck around despite the experiene of playing bns being patently awfully optimised and an uphill battle in every single way is testament to the fact that maybe some people just genuinely like the game? gutting it is absolutely antithesis to that.
i actually cant wrap my head around purposefully deleting lore cause it makes ‘grinding to endgame’ too confusing like does the story take that low a priority? the fucking ACTUAL game and the story is less important than people mindlessly burning themselves out to endgame, grinding dungeons and buying lootboxes like you cant do in literally every other game anyways? why would you get rid of some of the only shit that makes your game even slightly different? like im not out here saying it was the most revolutionary great shit but at least the side quests TRIED to give a modicum of flavour to bns. like they at least attempted to add to all the zones and make them places rather than set pieces were story happens to you then you leave and never come back. it doesnt even have to be revolutionary amazing writing to do that it just needs to be serviceable to give even the slightest sense of depth.
but for some reason rather than idk. just tell people theyre just flavour text and theyre not compulsory or just toggle on/off the fucking blue quest markers you decide to fucking? nuke the already translated (which someone no doubt paid for), completely unintrusive, absolutely functional, if somewhat tedious sidequests? making the whole fucking game even MORE barren and lifeless? FOR FREE? what a fucking deal.
i literally cannot understand this clownery this absolute idiot idea could only have been concocted by the specific brand of stupidity found only in corporate sales dept. but like i think its also emblematic of how this game has no creative direction other than make Money which is fucked cause theres genuinely many parts of this game that i enjoy from like characters, music, visuals theres A LOT of promise in bns even if it takes a lot of legwork to get to it. as much as people give htk shit he absolutely made this game what it is visually and thematically, the soundtrack fucking rocks, theres some solid characters and story elements, a lot of the game still holds up visually and som of it dare i say looks fucking good. give bns a try its free to play.
maybe ive just been spoiled by fgo and gbf and literally every other popular game ACTUALLY trying to write good shit. trying to give their readers lore, trying to make things genuinely ENJOYABLE as a game should be rather than a part time job. but man i always forget after act1 bns really reveals why its never broken out from being a midweight grindy mmo
#time to go back to just playing story and sleep#it wont even load for more than 5 seconds wo crashing tho#better delete some more sidequests to fix that yall#if bns hired me it would be exclusively to point a knife at the writers when they try stupid shit#renbns
