Zero Tribe Lineup

Took time out one day and drew the members of the Zero Tribe. All of them in my canon are demigods that were sealed away as a terrible evil 500 years ago, each tied closely to a Chaos Emerald and its origin. From left to right: Mei Panda ("the Dark Empress") Valent the Blue Jay ("the Mighty Wind") Apollyon the Bull ("the Unstoppable") Talia the Monkey ("the Huntress") Kenji the Lynx ("the Resourceful") Ahote the Tenrec ("the Bashful") Len the Raccoon ("the Thief")

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

Him: Do you know what I was just thinking?

Me: What?

Him: Since Aloy had a focus since she was very young, she should probably be using a lot more Old Ones' slang than anyone else.

Me: That could have been a cute character quirk to highlight.

(i didn't include Zeniths because imo they're the easy answer, being the villains of forbidden west and all that)

Today at Inazuma Rock Fes 2024, FANTASTICS performed Got Boost? in front of an audience for the first time!

A post shared by FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE (@fantastics_fext)

Setlist Playlist

Fanrepos mentioned that there were children that came just to watch them perform Gavv's opening and that the actual dance is exactly like in the OP!

And on another related note, earlier today the Kamen Rider Avex Sound Web tweeted about the DX Fantastics Gochizo and accidentally revealed the single's cover 👀‼️

The tweet has since been deleted and was changed with a new one (above) but I managed to save the picture, so here's a sneak treat 🙈🍭

Got Boost? single to release on October 23rd!

For artists, storytellers, or just fans -

I don't design games, but I find some of this very useful as a creator of various other stripes.

In addition to some more technical matters, this talk goes into the thematic focus of the game, into Guerrilla Games' approach to creating the various people groups of Horizon Zero Dawn, and into principles of collaboratively creative workflow. There's also a lot of concept art, including npc costumes from different tribes.

This might especially be useful to fanfic writers who want new insights or ways of thinking about Horizon's themes and tribes!

the video is about an hour long

Tribe Nine, anyone?

The anime for "Tribe Nine" came and went last year. The game is finally entering a closed beta this month, and an English release is confirmed for iOS, Android, and Steam.

And I admit that I haven't really been feeling all that interested since the initial reveals. I watched one episode of the anime, but I wasn't feeling it. I meant to keep going or go back to it, but as of this point? I haven't.

I'll still try the game, but at the end of the day, no matter how "extreme" or gang-war-based it is, it's still centered around baseball. And baseball doesn't exactly fill me with hype, I'm sorry to say. :P

However, this is still a Tookyo Games' joint, so obviously there are Danganronpa/Zero Escape alumni involved. That mean I'm still kind of interested—particularly in the game side of the project. I do love me some action RPGs, after all, which is the genre they're putting this title into. Kodaka is listed as being on the staff behind the game in some vague capacity, and Rui Komatsuzaki's character designs are recognizably on display.

But what about you all?

Did anyone out there watch the anime? And if so—what'd you think?

Are you at all excited about this game?

I just want to hear how people are feeling about this whole venture.

zero tribe nine is NOT beating the evil overlord allegations

[archivist-the-knight]

also a good way to go into fantasy society worldbuilding or just worldbuilding in general is just to remember "no animal is inheritly evil, no human is inheritly cruel and deserving of punishment for being alive, and no species is deserving of a death penalty simply for how they look. no matter what."

like. if you have a species that say. is being ruled by an evil overlord and as such rules under a very violent society. however if person of that species is taken outside of this society, they can become a better person and learn from their misdeeds. if a member of the species isn't raised inside the walls of this violent society, they'll turn out just how their parents raise them, not how the society expects them to act.

but if you have a society where the species inside of it is "inheritly" seen as evil or stupid, where even raising a child out of this environment they are still mean no matter what. stop. that does not make sense. that gives off a very weird message. it's way more compelling and thoughtful if you state that its an upbringing, or a society, that makes someone who they are, not that its "inherit." holds up hands. back away from the stage a little. no one is inherently evil no matter what even if you dont like them. and especially even if you dont find them pretty or "cool."

WIP Wednesday but on a Friday

Zero Eclipse Ursa lives AU

~*~

Ursa felt terrible. Guilt ate her alive as she helped Kya gather berries. Why was she always ruining things for people? Here they were doing chores while everyone else was relaxing and having fun.

“That should be enough.” Kya wiped her brow. “Now for the fun part!”

“Fun part?”

“Come I’ll show you!”

After securing the berries where they couldn’t be stolen by other animals, Kya led Ursa up a snow covered hill. On top was dozens of cute black creatures.

“Otter-penguins. Perfect for sledding.”

Ursa gave Kya another confused look.

“It’ll be fun. Hold this.” Kya gave her a fish.

“Uh… okay…”

Was this another Water Tribe custom? Before Ursa had time to ponder more, the otter penguins suddenly gathered all around her. Suprise laughter escape Ursa’s mouth. They were all so cute!

“That’s it! You’re a natural!”

Kya scooped up an otter penguin nearly as big as she was. Ursa giggled at the ridiculous sight. Kya beamed.

“Now for the really fun part!”

~*~

Ursa remembered rolling down hills with her friends as a child. Her mother always scolded her for returning home in a complete mess but the laughter in her eyes let Ursa know she never meant it. So Ursa would roll down again and again; far past the age she should.

The second the otter penguin slid forward down the steep slope, Ursa was a kid again playing with her friend. Nothing else mattered. Nothing but the sharp turns, wind in her hair, and laughter in her belly.

She crash landed in a snow bank. Kya worriedly dug her out. The apology on her lips died when Ursa laughed so hard she cried.

“Let’s go again!”

So they did. Over and over and over.
