I kinda want a Smallville-esque take on the Silmarillion. It's set exclusively back in Aman with the implication that Feanor's gonna start shit aaaany second now. He's working on some very impressive jewels in his workshop, Morgoth's looking pretty suspicious, and is that a giant spider I hear scuttling in the south? But its all fake outs, and it's just seven seasons of the messiest family drama imaginable. Noldor scandals and brewing rifts between them and the Valar. Maglor breaks a lute string and suspects sabotage. Aredhel steals a horse and gets lost in the woods. Feanor spends a really moving episode visiting the garden of his Mother's body. Finwe tries to be a good father and accidentally triggers a huge fight at least once a season. The Ambarussa make problems on purpose. Finrod befriends a wild dog. Nerdanel's latest statue of Maedhros gets its arm smashed off at the elbow. Finarfin collects novelty pens. Galadriel pretends she's above it all while being nothing of the sort. Gandalf stirs trouble. The very last shot is Feanor finishing the silmarils.
It wouldn't be good, but it'd be funny
#silmarillion#feanor and feanor's kin#noldor#lotr#tolkien#The build up with no payoff at all would make me laugh forever#It's also not a tragedy#it needs to vary from serious family drama to extremely silly comedy

Your Next Sexual Encounter (18+)
Pile 1 -> Pile 2
Pile 3 -> Pile 4
Deck Used: Erotic Tarot
Pile 1
WoF, 7oC, AoF, 4oF (rev), 3oS, KnoR, Empress, KoC, 10oF, 4oS, 10oC, 5oS, Hanged Man, QoS, 3oC, KnoF
Pile 1, you might come across someone randomly or unexpectedly, or you could go on a few casual dates through a dating app. Your social life may be buzzing with many choices, but you won't settle for just anyone. It takes more than sweet talk to get you into bed.
You'll be enjoying the dating scene and going out with multiple people, maybe even someone who is grounded and another who is passionate. You'll feel attracted to both of them, but you're holding back until you figure out who you want to commit to exclusively. Both individuals will desire both romantic and physical intimacy with you, and since the empress card appears between these options, I sense that starting a family or the desire for it could play a significant role in your decision-making process in the future.
Once you do make your choice, I feel the sexual encounter between you and your person will be very healing and therapeutic. You will both be recovering from past betrayal or heartbreak that left you feeling closed off to new love. However, once the two of you come together, you will each be able to lay all your cards on the table and ask for what you want both in sex and in love. Because of this, sex between you two will be intensely gratifying and fulfilling. You may decide to try some light kinks such as bondage, handcuffs or unusual positions, but you will both mainly focus on making the other person feel desired and at ease. One or both of you might love to talk dirty and this will drive the other person mad - making it hard for them to go slow or hold back. But in-between those moments, you will talk about the future of your connection and how much you are both ready to take the next step and see how things go. This will be a start to a beautiful long-term relationship.
Channelled Song: Hrs & Hrs by Muni Long
Pile 2
5oF, 6oS, Devil, Justice, 10oC, 3oF, 2oR, Empress, 6oC, Temperance, 4oS, AoF, Star, 6oF, 2oC
Pile 2, if this is someone you had a falling out with or recently split up with, they're coming back to show you how much you mean to them. They want to make things right and see if you guys can still patch things up in the bedroom like before. Despite the way things ended, they still feel that the spark and sexual chemistry between you is incredible. They truly feel that whatever caused the rift in the past will soon be a distant memory once you reignite things in the bedroom.
If either of you has felt ignored or left to deal with a broken heart, this person will go the extra mile to make things right. They will show you through their actions and how they care for your heart that they are ready to reconcile and be the person you need them to be. Once you are aware of their desires, it will make your climax together seem like the start of something new and beautiful.
Afterwards, they will express how much they regret taking you for granted or walking away in the past and will open up about their doubts from before. They see you as the most important person in their life and want it known that when it comes down to choosing between you and anyone else, there is absolutely no competition. After you guys hook up, they want to be with you forever.
Channelled Song: Thinking out Loud by Ed Sheeran
Pile 3
KnoR, WoF, 9oC, KnoF, Hanged Man, PoR, KoR, 2oC, 3oS (rev), 7oC, Death (rev), World
I sense that one of you is slow and methodical while the other is more wild and spontaneous, so there may be somewhat of a challenge to find a pace that works for both of you. However, despite your differences, you both will bond over your mutual desire to explore each other’s deepest sexual desires and naughty kinks.
Here, I see lots of foreplay, dirty talk, sex toys, bondage, mutual masterbation and roleplay. One person may enjoy sitting back and watching the other person dance or your partner might want you to dress up in lingerie and give them a lap dance until they c*m. Once you’re in the bedroom, you will both take turns being in control and bringing the other one to orgasm over and over again, no matter how long it takes.
Pile 3, feel free to express yourselves here without any need for impressing or proving anything to anyone. You will both come to each other as you are, ready to indulge in unbridled pleasure and release. With others, one or both of you may have felt they had to hold back in fear of being judged or laughed at, but with this person, you will be able to explore every fantasy in the comfort of each other’s arms. You will not only feel liberated and unrestricted, but also receive support and care on every level. Some of you may feel hesitant about exploring this connection at first, but there's no need to fear anything other than fear itself. Don't miss out on a wonderful experience that could come your way.
Channelled Song: Sex with Me by Rihanna
Pile 4
Empress (rev), KnoS (rev), 8oS, Lovers, QoS, 3oR, 4oS, 5oR, 6oC,7oF, 4oF, WoF, HM, Justice (rev), AoS, AoF
Pile 4, your next sexual encounter will most likely be with someone from the past. It's possible that you'll reconnect with someone you once deeply loved but had to walk away from because they couldn't commit. You got tired of being the only one putting effort into the relationship, so you withdrew your energy. Now, this person is feeling left out in the cold by you. They used to enjoy all the attention and affection you gave them, but now they realize that their player tactics and tired lies no longer work on you like before. They're finally seeing that you've caught onto their game.
Anyway, this person might suggest going on a vacation or a quick escape together, using the opportunity to mend things between you two. They'll want to share their feelings and set the mood with passionate sex, but you won't be as interested as they are. You'll still have a good time and enjoy yourself sexually, but if they bring up getting back together or taking things further, you will reject them and make it clear that you don't see a future with them anymore. You'll treat them like they deserve to be treated and then move on to the next person who catches your eye. You’ll feel like it’s what they deserve for how they treated you in the past and you won’t gaf how they feel about it now.

Circle of the Sands | What if circle of the land (desert) was more unique than a spell list
PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.
My Kickstarter has only a week left! Become a weredragon before its too late! Get in on the tycanthropic awesome!
It's week 5 of our four week series on mayhaps, and so I do something different. This time, inspired by the new game I'm a player in, a desert themed druid.
Sand Veil
This ability was inspired by Gaara's shield of sand power. Originally I was to make it more expensive and use a pocket sand inspiration, letting you blind people who try and attack you in melee, but then I added spray of cards as a spell so it felt superfluous
Animated Sands
Sand monsters are cool. What if you could summon them?
Shifting Masses
Misty escape from the feylock is cool, what if you AND your sand monsters could do that, sandily?
Oh yes, and make all your summons sand, why not? Why not change the elementals? Because that wouldn't make sense. And the fire elementals would be shit out of luck in water
Animated Hordes
Not a lot of druid circles call for the spend two wild shapes cost on the level 10 feature. It'ls kind of neat. So here I give you the intended animated sands, but game balance is a thing
Quicksand Vortex
And here's what I did in lieu of making a quicksand spell, because I decided that would be awkward. Instead I have you tear a hole in space as a capstone. Very reasonable, I know.
Sandstorm
So we have Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Tornados, Full control over the weather, but no sandstorm spells? nah man.
Sand Tomb
What if we just dropped a heap of sand on top of people? Can I say that suffocation is a weird rule to work around? And why is this a sphere instead of a more typical conical shape as expected of a fallen heap of sand? As much as I wanted to troll the 5e shapes guide by making it a 20 ft cone pointed down, that probably would have caused needless confusion
And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.
At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:
To Shreds, You Say?
Chimeric Hunter Conclave
I Costs an Arm and a Leg
Skeletal Amagams
I also have four classes, and a splatbook over on DriveThrueRPG to check out:
The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.
The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.
The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.
The Beguiler. A spellcaster dedicated to illusions, enchantments, and general fuckery.
d'Artagnan's Adventurer Almanac. A compendium of races, subclasses, feats, spells, monsters and more!

This takes place in Au Chromacrash (Wild Rift Skin exclusive). There's nothing official, but Jinx and Ekko are at least officially friends in this universe. But in my version, they are lovers who live together and work together.
Jinx: Ideology is a silly game where crazy people pretend to be sane. So they can say that all their crazy actions are completely sane and justified. And that's why there are so many wars in the world...
Ekko: Jinx!
Ekko: It's 1:38 in the morning, go to sleep!

opinion on the porcelain Graves skin???? I don’t hate it but I’m mad it’ll take another year or more until we get another one and porcelain is such a boring theme. Stick him in an interesting skin line for once riot.
Sincerely? I tried to like this skin, I really tried, but.. :/
Well, on twitter I compared Porcelain Graves with the WR exclusive skin Dragon Lantern Graves (not the special edition) I'll transcribe it here.
Let's start with splasharts. Wild Rift's Splash arts are generally criticized, many times I don't agree, some of them are of even higher quality than those of League, which is the case of Dragon Lantern Graves. Even though it's not Graves' best splash, or the best skinline splash, it's pretty and pleasant, my only criticism is that it's a little too static, there's not much movement
the Graves porcelain splash has some problems, at first glance it is.. pretty, but whenever you look at it, there seems to be something wrong, it really is a strange splash, and it's not the fault of the artist who made it.
Porcelain Graves Splash Concepts by Santiago Parra
in the end, they(riot) decided to increase the proportions and add a lot of texture, to achieve this result, so... yeah, it's not the best splash. but it's pretty
Dragon Lantern: 1
Porcelain: 0
About the VFX, let's be honest, they tend to do something very mediocre with Graves when it comes to visual effects, apart from his legendary skin (which it would be stupid of them to do something too simple) Graves' recent epic skins haven't received as much love.
Even though the Dragon Lantern skin has basically the same sounds as the base skin (i guess) the quality of the VFX is absurdly good (better than his legendary if you allow me to say). The Porcelain one.. is... mediocre.. ofc they couldn't put something cool like Lux and Lissandra's skins, right?
I can't post more than one video in a post, so here are the links so you can see the difference between the VFX of Dragon Lantern Graves and Porcelain Graves.
Dragon Lantern: 2
Porcelain: 0
Ok, let's get to the part that irritated me the most. The narrative..
Yes, we agree that Graves is not a big "important" character in Runeterra, he is not there to be a protagonist. That doesn't mean he can't cause real chaos, and set Bilgewater on fire just in an attempt to get revenge on his current partner. Why did I bring this up? because it is absurd to portray Graves as a pathetic and irrelevant character.
With that in mind, read Porcelain Graves' bio:
Not long after gunpowder was invented, the Zodiac searched for a new protector of the Dragon Relic. Though ancient and wise, the gods struggled to find someone worthy, so they settled for Malcolm Graves. Eventually his expertise in firepower was pointed in the right direction (away from all the breakable vases)
It's ridiculous, don't you think?
They are so fond of abusing the fact that Graves is, in some ways, a comic relief, that they make him the real joke, to the exclusion of everything else about him, and making him "unworthy". It's like they're saying "ugh, should this guy really be here? Who called him?". Whoever wrote the narrative of porcelain skinline seems to hate him, for real..
Now let's go to Dragon Lantern Graves' bio:
Graves, a free-spirited mercenary from a foreign land, can hardly wait to join in the fun at the gala. For this burly maverick, harmless ol' lanterns are no more than impractical ornaments—he much prefers filling up massive dragonflame cannons and setting the night sky ablaze with 'em booming explosions and dazzling lights!
1000% better, right? It's almost a delight. It's fun, brings out a little of who he is, and doesn't degrade his image :D
Dragon Lantern: 3
Porcelain: 0
AND WE HAVE A WINNER

yes I caved in, here's my Welcome Home ARG OCs - Paige & Tabby Trouble <3 (ft Barnaby and Zircon, @raetreaderarts's OC)
the idea I had for these two is that they're meant to be characters original and exclusive to a potential Welcome Home cartoon show that was in the making (which explains why there's no puppets of them) but got scrapped or maybe it never aired - Paige and Tabby were created to appeal to older kids who were more into whacky characters like Tom & Jerry, and to cause more action and shenanigans within the neighbourhood
more info abt them under the cut!
I designed them with the idea of. yknow. when cartoons have remakes or reboots and extra characters are added to appeal to the current generations, but they're a little disconnected from the original cast that it causes old fans to IMMEDIATELY dislike them? so it causes this rift of "OH IM A FAN OF THE OLD WELCOME HOME!!" kinda vibe.
Paige runs the local library (which also doubles as the siblings' house) and has a one-sided rivalry with Frank. Paige is ALSO implied to have been just as reckless and wild as their sibling Tabby, but "mellowed out" after moving to Home <3 the running joke is that they act very strict, elegant and mysterious but lose their marbles very easily.
Tabby is an energetic prankster who never grew out of their mischevious phase, most of their pranks end up causing a lot of trouble for everyone involved instead - which they're forced to fix at the very end. Since Paige is trying to clean up their act, Tabby feels like they have to make up for it with double shenanigans. They lie a lot for fun and love to play sports.
I imagine the educational aspect would still remain somewhat, so Paige would teach useful school stuff like using planners, making to-do lists, library etiquette, etc. And Tabby would urge kids to stay physically active because of all the sports they play, the rules of most games (with their own TWIST!!!) and so on. BUT ALSO!!!
they're NYANBINARY rep and meant to help kids explore and normalize queerness - some cats are neither girls nor boys, some are both, some are more and they're still the coolest cats in the neighbourhood, nothing wrong with that <3
I also like to think that Tabby really looks up to Barnaby since he's the resident clown and that they get along with Sally and often volunteer to help. Or rather, that Tabby likes to volunteer to help their neighbours with anything, so a lot of scripts were about them helping others like, Howdy at the store or Eddie with the mail, Sally with her plays etc - but they always leave things halfway through because they have the attention span of a fly.
And Paige really gets along with Polly and Eddie because "they're good influences" and it makes them feel all grown up to hang out with responsible people.
i love these dumb sibling kitties so much oughhhh
#welcome home#welcome home arg#welcome home oc#welcome home barnaby#digital art#purinsu art#i had ideas for horror elements but im too lazy to describe those#paige is also besties with my friend's oc. ronette lovebug#and tabby loves to lie to virus' oc. zircon

AO3 sings "The Horror and the Wild" Witcher collection 2023
You know those "AO3 sings [insert Hozier song here]" lyric videos? We're making one exclusively with witcher fics for the 3rd anniversary of The Horror and the Wild on February 28. Technically, it's February 29, because of course they released an album on leap day. The thing is, there aren't witcher fics titled after some of the lyrics yet, and we need your help to write them and/or upload art to the archive!
Edit: all prompts have been claimed, meaning all lines in "The Horror and the Wild" are now available for bonus entries! No need to sign up, you can just add to the collection and I'll make sure all 10 versions of "give me back my heart you wingless thing" make it into the video 😘You can still register as a pinch hitter and we may call on you closer to the event.
Prompts (All Claimed!!):
deep beneath your bed
let them not hear
you're the daughter of silent watching stones
you watch the stars hurl all their fundaments
forever asking more
you are that space that's in between
every page, every chord and every screen
you are the driftwood and the rift
we're drunk but drinking, sunk but sinking
all the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold
you are the son of every dressing-up box
and called me child
by day, oh lord, three things I pray
that I might understand as best I can
how bold I was, could be, will be, still am, by god, still am
Rules:
1. Witcher-only content, using the title as the prompt you were assigned. 2. OCs, kink, dead dove, and all ratings are allowed. No minimum wordcount. Use archive warnings where they apply. 3. Only submit E-rated content if you are 18+
All prompts have been claimed! A few things to note:
Submissions are now open to ANY line in "The Horror and the Wild" (just the one song, if you want a lyric from another song on the album to be added to the collection I'm happy to approve it, but it won't be in the lyric video)
I'll check in with you in early February to ask how it's going. If you know you can't fulfill the prompt, let me know ASAP. If I check in and don't hear back from you within 3 days, I'll assume you can't finish the prompt in time and will look for someone else to fulfill it
We're still accepting pinch hitters in case someone has to back out
You don't have to FINISH the work by the deadline if it's multi-chapter. One chapter is enough, take your time and have fun!
Submission deadline is February 20, 2023. You can add items to the collection anytime before then
The tag I've been using on tumblr is "The Horror and the Wild 2023," not necessary to use it when posting but the option exists
Don't hesitate to reach out with questions, brainstorming help, and requests for betas. I'm here to help!

So Baldur's Gate 3 has now fully released, and it kinda fucks?
Okay more than kinda, Baldur's Gate 3 should be the new standard for larger studios in terms of quality and, more importantly, how they treat players. I can't believe I'm saying that about a D&D game.
So for context to that last bit: I'm super fucking jaded on D&D. I've pretty much jumped ship entirely to any other TTRPG (namely Pathfinder 2e) because I hate how Wizards of the Coast have handled D&D 5e and how they treat their customers.
I fucking love Baldur's Gate 3. It's still got some of the D&D things I'm not overly fond of, but that's a personal taste thing, and overall this game fucking rules. Larian is really out here just making D&D a more fun experience than the actual Wizards of the Coast, it's honestly kinda wild.
But more than just in the context of "a D&D game" I want to talk about Baldur's Gate 3 in the larger scope of videogames as a whole, primarily in the triple A scene. There's a reason Baldur's Gate 3 is doing so well and why it's very quickly become so beloved, and it's not just because of the bear sex. That reason can be largely boiled down to "Larian respects their playerbase, and more importantly respects their money." Too often we're seeing games from big triple A companies that already have way too much fucking money just being absolutely filled beyond the brim with monetisation for something that's likely already $90-100 AUD. Or worse: games that borderline lie to you about how much they cost, Destiny 2 I'm fucking looking at you and your "genuinely the worst monetisation I have seen in a game." Or just straight up gacha games that are purpose built to fuck you out of your money and use similar tricks that the gambling industry uses to make money.
But Baldur's Gate 3? Pay the full price up front, and you get a full game. There's no hidden "gotcha!" monetisation, no battlepasses, no rotating digital storefront, no fake "premium" currency, no "but it's only cosmetic" microtransactions. I'm not even gonna gripe against their pre-order stuff like I normally would, because you could actually play the game before it was released. Baldur's Gate 3 was in Early Access for literal years before it fully released, and it used that time quite well! It's fascinating seeing where it came from and how much has changed since then. But more importantly: if you "pre-ordered" the game (read: buy it in Early Access) you could still play the game, you still immediately got something for your money. If you didn't like it, you could still refund it if you wanted to. As a nice little bonus: the game mostly just works! It's not perfect, there's some little oddities here and there, but I haven't had the game break yet. But then again, I'm one of the people who somehow managed to have a pretty bug-free Cyberpunk 2077 experience at launch, so who knows.
And plus it comes with couch co-op! Why is that so rare these days?? It feels like the only games you can really sit down with and play with friends these days are party games.
Of course, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't truly alone here. Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West have come out as full games with no monetisation BS and working fine, albeit stuck to PlayStation for a long time before releasing elsewhere (although BG3 is currently PC exclusive, though that should change next month). God of War, while I've not personally played, I haven't heard anything egregious about it. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is such a fun time, but at $125 AUD it's a hard sell, even knowing all the work that went into it (Though that did drop to just $95 AUD on PC). I'm even going to give Cyberpunk 2077 an honourable mention, because if you had a computer that could run it at launch it was still a damn good time. Though that one unfortunately came at the cost of "should never have been released on last gen consoles" and "worker abuse through crunch."
But all of those examples have the "pre-order to maybe get something" issue that Baldur's Gate 3 avoided through its Early Access launch. You also can't really share those games with friends. You can maybe let a friend borrow the game and then talk about it after you've both finished it in your own time, but that's kinda like watching a movie separately and then talking about it. It's just not the same. That's not even mentioning how small that list is. I'd say it's just single player games, but both Bethesda and Ubisoft have shown even they're not safe.
I haven't seen any game from a large studio respect the player as much as I have with Larian and Baldur's Gate 3. I definitely don't feel bad paying full price for this one. Once they're wrapped up with BG3, I don't suppose I could bribe them to make a Pathfinder game? Pretty please? Already like halfway there with Divinity: Original Sin 2!
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#videogames#big ol rant about the state of gaming#I do hope that BG3's success starts a fire somewhere in big studios#I doubt it though unfortunately#why would they give up making all the money for just a lot of money?

REBOOT
- is a story of mine on Wattpad and Quotev, currently titled under the guise of "Glitch in the Matrix." It contains numerous scenes that aren't suitable for younger audiences. If you're ready for a wild ride, make sure you know what you're getting into.
°
Three years ago, a series of mysterious rifts tore through the Undertale universe, displacing every character from their familiar realms into a world completely devoid of magic. This new world was stark and ordinary, a place where mana, monsters, and the essence of determination had no existence. Stranded and powerless, the monsters faced a dire choice: hide from the humans or try to assert dominance over them. Many expended their dwindling reserves of mana, with no way to replenish it. This unfamiliar and alarming presence sparked fear among the humans, who soon formed a specialized team of researchers to study and contain these strange beings. Captured monsters were subjected to rigorous experiments and classified by their potential threat, rated on a scale from 1 to 12. They were then segregated into seven distinct Sectors, with Sector 1 exclusively dedicated to housing the most dangerous creatures, those rated Level 10-12. In this grim new reality, both humans and monsters grappled with the unknown, each side striving to survive and understand the strange world they now inhabited.
Three years into this altered reality, the reader—a hidden Frisk of this strange new world—finds themselves assigned to investigate a dangerous anomaly that was apprehended and hidden away in their Sector. This anomaly, far too perilous for their assigned area, brings them face-to-face with Error Sans. And so, their story begins.
°
I repeat, there's a lot of scenes unsuitable for younger audiences, and you might end up hating me for some of it since some of the good characters turns bad and very uncharacteristic. Some AU's will be mentioned, and it's completely non canon, and I do apologize for bringing other's characters into this. This is just my own version of the story, and— I repeat— it's a dark one.
It's a gender neutral story (female oc in my comic) that's going to have some character development and suggested love interest pairings (mainly Error), and some characters will be unalived. But if you do enjoy a good heartbreaking, heart pounding, heart stopping, rage triggering story, well, there you go. 💀
Mentioned character (Error) is from @loverofpiggies 's Errortale 😊 I loved it so much that it inspired me to create this unique story.

Gaahhh This Seraphine Skin Was Made Just For Me!!!
As someone who adores Seraphine but usually prefers the "mad" character archetype this is literally perfect. If you didn't know this skin is a reference to the Mad Hatter.
Sucks everyone seems to hate it. Yall are just scared of green and yellow istg. Unfortunate that it's Wild Rift exclusive. I hate playing phone games because I get really bad cramps. Can they hurry with that console port already!
