#zappy yaps

[biscuitsofthesevenseas]

So I was just thinking about how in Ovenbreak, the cookies technically "eat" the jellies while collecting them in a run. This is fine when the game was in its very early days, but with the introduction of jelly shapes, treasures, and some specific cookie skills that the fact has... become a bit weird.

You have treasures that produce jellies that probably shouldn't be edible (all of the legendary treasures so far, the magma Shard treasure, the submarine treasure, the cursed mirror treasure, etc.) and idk, it just feels a bit weird remembering that fact while your cookies consume literal obsidian and lanterns and ghosts

There's also the later Jelly skins, which I don't have a problem with, but I just happened to realise I can make the newer cookies eat jellies that look suspiciously like themselves. (Due to the later bear jelly skins basically being almost clones of the cookie they released with, ESPECIALLY the giant and rainbow bears)

Cookie skills. Astronaut consumes planets daily. Hydrangeas skills is just her eating a bunch of flowers. In fact, a LOT of cookie's skills are just them eating a bunch of flowers. Cream Unicorn eats butterflies and White Ghost literally consumes the embodiment of fear. There are many more insane ones but I'm not exactly bothered to list them all down.

Oh and they all eat coins too. Thought I'd point that out because on jelly maps and treasures, the coins count as jellies.

what is UP w my dreams lately. during yesterdays nap in my dream i lost control of my car and crashed it down a gully and had some other dream i cant remember details of but it was full of just as much Bad Feelings. and now the the same today??? multiple weird dreams that feeling fucking Bad.yhe fuck??

tho one dream was me chilling on the couch when i saw a bearded dragon in the house and i went to grab it to put outside (like the garden skink in the house from the other day) and i followed it into the hallway and it had a reallyy long tail and it was pretty chill so i watched it climb the wall and it stopped near this bright green lizard plushie (??) that was attached to the bedroom door frame (??) and i looked up and the hallway was filled w these balloons in the shape of jungle animals and the bearded dragon, now significantly smaller, grabbed onto a balloon string and it started floating thru the house and i was so delighted, trying to get loverboy to come look. and by the time it floated over to and dropped onto the couch, it was now a chameleon and i was gonna grab it before i began considering if i should just grab a chameleon bcos i dont know what their bites are like and thats when i woke up. what does that mean. what does it all mean

slightly Halloween related- some redesigns of the monster high g3 designs

first one is clawdeen since i felt she needed the most umm help(i felt betrayed when they deyassified her, no shade to the new one but yeah) one is more like her g1 design but more modern, second is similar-ish to the new one but a little cooler, more streetwear like. and for her glasses i changed it to a half glasses shape idk how to explain it, and shaped it like cresent moons since its a big part of her design

then one the next one theres draculara, frankie, and gholia. draculara i went for a sorta shojo style with the sweater button up combo, frankie i wanted them to wear something experimental (tee hee get it) and made their hair look zappy? for ghoulia i actually like her change the most, making her ride a skateboard and still being nerdy, so i leaned into it and did a mix of both. sorry for yapping a bunch and also not posting any finished art school has been rough but i have joined a fashion class at my school so thats cool

JOHN: whoa, it worked!

JOHN: ha ha, i remember this!

JOHN: oh man, this is great.

JOHN: hey guys!

JOHN: hey me!!

JOHN: you're looking almost as handsome as the other me i just saw.

JOHN: don't ask, it's a long story. all you need to know is we are both looking great, as usual.

JOHN: dang, this was such a cool moment!

JOHN: hard to believe it was only...

JOHN: hours ago?

JOHN: days ago?

JOHN: these zappy shenanigans are making me lose track of time.

JOHN: whatever, it was just a really nice surprise when you all randomly appeared on my birthday and fell on the grass!

JOHN: i would love to have this sweet reunion all over again with you guys...

JOHN: we had some great conversations here on this lonely stone henge planet. i really wouldn't mind listening to everything we said again word for word!

JOHN: but i can't.

JOHN: i don't know if this makes sense...

JOHN: but when we all came together like this out of the blue, and had our long awaited reunion...

JOHN: i'm not sure if we really earned it yet?

JOHN: we didn't realize it at the time, but there were still a bunch of problems waiting to happen.

JOHN: like, some lingering issues that were going to pull us all apart again, and make us fight to get back together once and for all.

JOHN: but don't worry, i'm working to overcome all those problems right now.

JOHN: that's why i'm here!

JOHN: it's also why i can't hang around all day babbling like a fool. i really need to quit yapping and hit the road.

JOHN: see you karkat!

JOHN: i hope your pals don't take it personally, but you were always my favorite troll.

JOHN: the shouty tirades you are going to have on this hilly planet are going to be epic and hilarious. i will never forget them.

JOHN: kanaya, take good care of him for me, ok? thanks.

JOHN: dave! see you in a different reality, buddy.

JOHN: be sure to take care of mr. mayor too.

JOHN: your beautiful friendship with a cute chess man is an inspiration to us all.

JOHN: i hope and firmly believe it will transcend the boundaries of even the most ludicrous retcon shenanigans.

JOHN: (heheheh.)

JOHN: goodbye, rose. it makes me happy to see you alive and well, even if only for a minute.

JOHN: i'm going to make sure i never have to watch you die again.

JOHN: sorry if that sounds morbid and confusing, but... yeah.

JOHN: and if you see her around, say hello to roxy for me!

JOHN: haha, oh yeah. hey terezi.

JOHN: i feel like this is some big joke you are in on too.

JOHN: but you probably don't have the slightest clue what's going on, do you?

JOHN: maybe it's better that way, heh.

JOHN: anyway, the plan is going perfectly so far. ;)

JOHN: (i just winked.)

JOHN: so yeah, time to go get that ring.

JOHN: i don't know what's going to happen to you all once i change stuff...

JOHN: maybe you'll stop existing? i don't have a damn clue, to be honest.

JOHN: but just so you know, you will always keep existing in my heart.

JOHN: bye!

Imperial Agriworld Leboth - Great Toll-Fields of Marbod

 Titheworld of XVth Legion Jurisdiction

“WAAAGH!” 

The warcry of the greenskin horde roared over the once beautiful plains of Leboth’s northwestern continent, Marbod. The brutality of these warmongers was nothing short of inhuman barbarism. The farmers and servitors of rebels and traitors tooling on the foods that were destined for the billions of themselves and the worlds tied to their labors cleaved by churning chainweapons and brutish cleavers, hammers and mace.

The clean machines ploughing for new fields and uprooting the fresh crops torn about and bastardized into pollution-belching weapons of death the moment the enemies’ grubby fingers grabbed and corrupted what their greedy, insidious eyes set upon.

Limbs juicy of meat and blood crunched and tore into tusked mouth and needle teethed maws. Above these thousands of diminutives and hundreds upon hundreds of their musclebound masters, there was Him. The greatest of these howling upright beasts - of flesh, muscles and cybernetics - crushed one of his own yapping lessers under the metallic boot and clamped his great iron claw. The cruel sneer of boredom fresh on his face before seeing the darkness piercing through the crackling storm of stratosphere break. 

One of his Kruisers exploding into a brilliant blossom of fire and burning scrap. Then another and another until the fires became yawning maws of righteous hate, turning onto others to devour as great serpents. It was unnatural and wyrd. Next to him, his great wierdboy gawked with a cackling smile as his nose bled from an overcharging of new powers.

“Wha’ is it, ya zappy git?” The great warboss Bleeksmakker questioned, clamping his klaw again in idle threat. Those dark green orbs that the Wierdboy called eyes stared even more. “Waaagh, Boss.” He answered with his cackling growl and threw his arms up to the air as if embracing the coming carnage.

“It iz the WAAAGH that I have promised!”

At the upheaval, great ships pierced through the debris like leviathans following an even greater one. Scarlet-skinned with glistening trims of gold, the fall of vengeance slamming like an angry knife onto a table. Each strike of torpedo hammer crushes pockets of the ground, taking ever ork in it. Another and another with lightning crashing all the same. 

Then came a rain of objects. Dropships. Droppods. 

Seeing the great destruction as his own Kruiser and ships was coming to meet with the enemy, the Warboss smiled for once in this month-like raid. “Yea...now this is wha’ I want. A real fight. A real...WAAAGH!!!”

SKY//FLOOD - The Huntress - Blooming Rose (wip)

Bancroft. The place Veca first appeared, and Calee's once-home. A big town, now ruins, on the southern edge of Myera Rainforest. As her story went, Veca was attacked here by Sicara and rescued by Calee, and went on to search for Jade. It's as good a place as anywhere else to look for her...

Calee and Taylor search in and around Monsa and Deilos. Miko, Aubrey, Leo, and Staxia search Seipora. Jade and Corvin search Mt. Balos, Bancroft, and anywhere inbetween. They each team up specifically to stay safer - obviously, they aren't the only ones looking for Veca.

Oh. Oh, faaar from it. In the town square of Bancroft, where the mossy, broken, dried fountain and rusted metal fence sit on cracked cobble, Pierce Arturo and his Reapers sit in conversation. Jade and Corvin sneak up closer, hidden within a nearby red-brick ruin and cautious of any would-be sentries.

Pierce: That's what I'm tellin’ you! She ain't fuckin' hea'!

He seems to be talking to someone with that thick accent of his... but none of his subordinates are responding. A quiet squabbling in a deep tone calls back to him; Pierce huffs angrily.

Pierce: Th'fuck?! List'n, jackass, I'm tellin' ya: The zappy bitch ain't fuckin' in this shithole! Shutcha yap, cripplin' bischap.

Corvin narrows his eyes. He's obviously talking to someone.

Piece suddenly grows even more agitated, shoving off the fountain's edge, holding his palm against his right ear, and shouting.

Pierce: No! No, you listen to me, bitch! I am sick and tired 'a yer shit! Ya don't get'ta waltz ya shady Hunter ass up in my face and order me around like this! We had a fuckin' deal, and you are not calling it off!

Jade leans forward a slight bit over the edge of the rubble to get a better shot of the conversation, accidentally knocking a few bits loose. Immediately, Pierce and several men snap to Jade's direction. Pierce himself finds himself smiling sadistically as he marches closer, dropping his arm down to his side. The shape of a slim, silver headpiece on his right side shimmers in the hazy afternoon light.

Pierce: Well. Hah. We ain't found that Vermin, but we sure as hell found sumthin' else. ???: What? What is it?

The woman's voice becomes ever so faintly clear through the quiet. Jade and Corvin begin to back up; the sound of rubble being crushed underfoot signals their being cornered in.

Pierce: You know Vermin's little girlfriend and the bastard who helped broke us up? Hehahah... ???: Wh- Jade?! No- No! Pierce, stand the fuck down! You are not to har--

Pierce rips out the device and crushes it in his hand as his Sigil glows across his lower left ribs. His smiles nice and wide with eyes gleaming with sadistic excitement. Corvin quickly grabs Jade's arm and makes a break for it, coating his opposite shoulder in deep violet electricity and shoving the man behind them aside. Pierce calls after them with a hint of joy in his voice.

Pierce: Where ya goin', ya lil' shit?! Come back he' an' getcher just-fuckin-reward for stabbin' us in the back like you did!!

---

Pierce: You're goin' back in pieces to that Hunter, like it or not, Vin!

Corvin growls low at Pierce, his broken arm slowly draining away at what's left of his energy. Jade's bruised cheek and bleeding belly stain her flame-coated silhouette. The two steadily back up, arm-in-arm, away from the juggernaut before them. Cut, burnt, and shocked, nothing seems to phase him. Did he get stronger? He must have. Corvin managed to take him down before, but now...

Corvin: Back down, Pierce. You know Quartz will come for your ass if you do anything to us.

Pierce scoffs snidely, cocking his head with an unimpressed sneer.

Pierce: Yea? You think I care, Vin? You killed so many of my boys, you two... it's only fair I knock off a few 'a hers, too.

A loud gunshot-like sound startles him. It's so familiar, too... Is Calee nearby? No, she can't be. She should be in Deilos... Pierce sighs, flexing his hands as he closes the distance quicker.

Jade: Back the hell off! Pierce: Shutcher yap, bitch!

Pierce skips forward, throwing a punch directly at Jade. She rolls forward, scatching the back of Pierce's right leg as she passes him. He throws down his hand, catching Jade by the middle of her shirt, and hoisting her upward. Corvin throws his open palm against Pierce's chest unhindered, surging the brute of a man with his volts. Pierce laughs and slams Corvin backward into a wall with his free hand, then throws Jade away and down into the broken pavement. She shouts as a loud crack rings out; she bounces back and finds debilitating amounts of pain invading her chest.

Pierce laughs as he takes up Corvin with both hands, repeatedly slamming him into the wall over and over, as blood begins to splatter against the wall. A distant look takes to his eyes. Pierce whips Corvin back at Jade, throwing his ragdolled body against hers. His back is bloody and smashed, Jade is stamped with his blood as he hits her. Pierce grins wide as he slowly stomps toward them.

Pierce: This feels right. This feels great, beatin' a lil' traitor like you, Vin. I should do it more often.

With no regard to Jade at all, Pierce stomps on her left leg as he passes over, making her scream in pain as the bone snaps instantly. She writhes in pain, seething with sharp breaths. He stops just in front of Corvin, crouching down and shoving him over onto his back to glare him down in the eyes.

Pierce: I'm gonna drag your lil' pompous ass back to the Gash, and we're gonna have a hell of a time, Vin. Just you and me. No need for the trash, you know... Now geddup.

Corvin strains to breathe, weakly gazing up at Pierce. Grown impatient, Pierce picks him up by a tuft of his shirt like a sack and stands tall, dragging his along as he leaves Jade broken.

???: Arturo, I told you to stand the fuck down.

Pierce freezes as the woman's voice rings out. Jade sees the silhouette of a woman step toward her... digging her hands under Jade's back and knees and picking her up. Jade winces as her left leg jostles, making the woman sigh.

???: God damn it, Pierce. Why the fuck would you do this? Corvin, I can understand, but Jade... You've never even met her. She didn't deserve this, she is innocent.

Pierce huffs, whipping around and glaring at the woman. Jade can't quite get a good look at her quite yet... the sun's bright light make her out like a shadow.

Pierce: She got in the way, Rose, and she's with that Vermin bitch. Had it comin' to her, 'specially with this prick at'er side.

Rose holds Jade tight, her expression unclear... but her voice makes her sound as if she's holding back a furious rage.

Rose: Just- Drop the kid and I'll forget this little contrivance ever happened. You and your croneys get the fuck out of Bancroft. You go off where I never have to see you again... I don't need someone who can't follow simple orders, and I'll blow a hole in you if you refuse.

Pierce clicks his tongue and drops Corvin. He falls limply, like a corpse... but after several seconds on the ground, continues breathing as before, though even more strained. He seems to be on the edge of death itself...

Pierce: Gah, fine. But next time I see this bastard, though, he is dead, got it? Rose: Please, just get fucking lost, already. Pierce: Feh. Hunter bitch...

Pierce marches off with an air of dissatisfaction. Left alone, Rose sets down Jade, ever so carefully, and steps over her to Corvin. Jade hears the nasty sound of flesh peeling from stone as Rose turns him over.

Rose: Jesus fucking christ... What a fucking monster. You're still alive, right? Corvin?

Corvin struggles to turn his gaze to Rose, but makes enough of an effort to tell her "yes." She breathes with a heavy air.

Rose: Good. This might sting a bit, but it'll keep you alive. Bear with it.

Rose places her hands just over Corvin's back and steadies her breathing. A gradual warmth, like warm water, gently fills his body... a familiar sensation, at that. His back stings horribly as something changes... Jade watches as Rose treats Corvin, an almost non-existent bluish glow radiating from the upper-left and lower right of her back.

Rose huffs as she pulls back, panting as if a great deal of strength was taken from her. She wipes her head with her right forearm and stands up.

Rose: That should be enough for you to breathe. Can you get up?

Corvin finds the pain from his entire back significantly lessened, but still horrible. He groans, fruitlessly trying to push himself up. Rose sighs, bending down to help him up.

Rose: Go on, grab my shoulder. I'll help you up.

Doing as he is told, Corvin places a hand on Rose's lowered shoulder. She takes hold of his hand with her own, slowly standing up and taking Corvin's other hand with her free one. He groans in pain as he rises to his feet, wobbling as Rose cautiously lets go, holding her hands out ready to catch him.

Rose: Hey, hey- Take a breath. You'll be fine. He ain't gonna hurt you again, not today.

Corvin's breathing is heavy and labored. He nods, straining to stay standing. Rose cautiously takes a step back toward Jade, glancing down to be careful not to step on her.

Rose: Easy. I'll pick up the girl and see you somewhere safe, aight?

Corvin still can't respond outside of a nod. He watches Rose from the corner of his eye, watching as she once again picks Jade up from her back and knees like before.

The two finally get good looks of Rose as she steps up beside Corvin. She's a little tan, with icy blue eyes and hair flipped over her left side and the left shaved short and messy. A reddish scar marks beneath her right eye, and she holds a large gunblade sheathed to her back. A faded red shirt underlies an open black combat jacket, with black jeans and black and silver boots. Her eyes have a worn look to them, as if she's been through a lot, but...

*She's pretty.* It's the first thought through Jade's shadowed mind, and briefly startles her.

Why the hell is there a dessert paradise breakout (it's not even a proper one just random challenge for some reason) but no TBD breakout, despite the TBD having more than enough maps to make one, and the fact that it's extremely popular. Oh, and they decided to make cotton candy the mascot for the dessert paradise despite Blue Slushy, someone actually affiliated with the place, being RIGHT THERE.

[biscuitsofthesevenseas]

how come the night of the witches exists if all the witches died and turned into Earthbread? Because in the trailer for Witch’s Castle the witches had a spell go wrong which made them disintegrate to become Earthbread and you can see the ancients if you pause which if you include the beasts is a whole nother can of worms.

And for Ovenbreak how come during the Labrinth of Memories GingerBrave’s friends all quickly believe that GingerBrave is the reason that bad things happen when in actuality he’s done nothing wrong? I’m a big GingerBrave lover and I just felt like that scene was stupid

For the first question, I'm pretty sure since Ovenbreak and Kingdom are both set I different universes, Witches Castle would be the same. I also think that is the reason why Dark Enchantress doesn't exist in witches Castle, like, at all. The Ancients I feel would be touched on in later Crwc lore but they won't be prominent because crwc already has the 'Firsts' as their OP line of cookies. Heck, since crwc is in another universe the Ancients may have another story to themselves that may not be the one in Kingdom, and it might not contain the Beasts.

For that one scene in Ovenbreak, I am fully convinced that part was made for plot enhancement and nothing else. There's not many climaxes you can think of for what is basically a memory garden, and I guess the devs wanted to go with a relaxed approach where the main plot point is the friendship between the characters being on the line. I do agree that it's a little stupid, but it was mostly Amber Sugar actually blaming Gingerbrave for everything, and it's in line with his character to do that. (it was also him convincing the others that gingerbrave was the wrong one here)

Hope that answered your questions!
