You may have heard or maybe played this game. That is, Zombie catchers. A wonderful game that saved me now and as a child. In fact, these arts are already a month old, I just don't want to leave this page empty. Therefore, catch art with zombies and a couple of sketches :D

Fellas, pals, strangers, enemies, mortal enemies, foes of the neutral variety, and everything else, thank you for gathering here today, come together to watch as I SOLVE FICTION!
This started with me trying to just do Peppino's family tree. It was not meant to go this far.
Excuse me while I tag all the characters for the next 30 minutes, and please save any questions for after.
Nevermind I ran out of my 30 tags I'm gonna have to reblog with the rest of them several times this was a HORRIBLE idea

Играю в zombie catchers
Я застряла на 40 уровне тк мне нужно словить ещё 3 зомби-гремлена на снежной зоне. А они мало того что выпадают очень редко так ещё и я их упускаю.
Ещё бесит ждать между охотой 20 минут. Это уже слишком а если я до последнего уровня дойду между ними уже сутки будут или что?
Но так игра мне нравится. Она ничем не изменилась с детства. Как вспомнила то снова скачала и довольна этим

I just saw Anthony do fifty women out of Lily’s ten women characters list. I also saw Lily using ocs on her list so ima jump the gun and add my top ten female ocs; with commentary in the form of alternate text to provide insight into them.
Gobbo’s top ten women characters (oc edition)
10. Guinevere
Guinevere, the older sister of Ceridwen the current Onmphar of Morbay. Guinevere would’ve been the Onmphar if not for her great grandmother who wasn’t the nicest and actively sabotaged their lives. But this didn’t stop Guinevere from being her little sisters advisor and mentor. She’s able to not just see the visages of the departed but the image of someone once there or on a different plane of reality. She used this to stay in contact with their father after he was put under a procedure by the great grandmother that made him a zombie husk. She bottled her pain and struggles until an incident changed things.
9. Naomi
Naomi was once a human but was brought back by an unknown forger who tried to make a muse without the proper trainer. She’d learn to live in this realm she never knew of before but would quickly grow to love it as it allowed her more flexibility than she could’ve imagined having as a human. She’d marry into a polygamous relationship with a voltic gaiaus named DiAngelo (himbo retriever man) and Hawke (intersex nonbinary, bean). She will carry both her spouses and is a force to be reconned with at PTA meetings. She’s got the patience and constitution of a patron saint but the bite and fight of a hyena.
8. Annalise Ravencroft-Jay
Annalise is a fairly young elem, her mother is from the states while her father is from the elem world equivalent to Romania. She’s a dreamweaver elem and she and her mother create very special webs that resemble dreamcatchers, these webs when hung above the heads of someone’s bed with form beads made of the dreams and nightmares of whoever sleeps under them, but it doesn’t end there as they can be viewed on the catcher when interacted with. Annalise also helps her father with his bookstore that also provides informational literature for those who aren’t initiated with their elem background. I forgot to mention she was born in the late 19th century and is still alive today, her husband is a year and few months younger than her and is around too. Hehe
7. Glenda Teca Gunderson
Glenda, a hummingbird inspired light/forger elem with a radiant smile and bubbly personality. She’s also the newest ambassador and head of weather cultivation for her homeland, being essentially South America. She may have gotten a crush on the ambassador for the north eastern areas who’s triple her height and started dating in “private”… ok that actually happened and they’ve been married for a long time now and have two kids. She’s sweeter than sugar.
6. Constance “Connie” Galahad
Connie is a strong powerful woman who wears a poker face well to lower guards of men or anyone who thinks they can take advantage of not just her but her girls (other women who were kept in a brothel by an awful elem). She can produce a toxin and antitoxin that will act faster than what is known or drawn out. Yes she’s killed a man before and yes it was her pimp, we aren’t dancing around the truth here. She would effectively become somewhat of a mafia boss for the small town the brothel was in and ensure it would become a safe haven for those who are seeking sanctuary and a halfway home.
I love her she can step on me
5. Adelaide Hurley
Adelaide, based in a black and trumpet swan. Her fathers gave her the world and encouraged her dream of dancing for the world. She’d travel with a performance group from town to town gracefully moving across the stage like a winter breeze carrying the snow. She was entranced with the music and would find her way to her husband who was bewitched by her ballet. She struggled for a long time to have kids but her first son was the world to her. She wears a heart of pure gold on her sleeve and doesn’t hide her true feelings and emotions.
4. Grendel’s mom (my version of her)
She’s a scaleless draconic who walks like fog very poise and careful. Tho many retelling paint her as a dangerous mother of monsters, she’s no more human than you or I despite being an elem. she’ll do everything she can to ensure her son’s safety even if it means letting a man sleep with her and take her wealth. Jokes on that man, she’ll steal his wife and please her more than he could. She’s got big ol Owl Lady energy.
3. Diantha Gratia II
Diantha is a queen, literally, she’s calm reserved and holds so much love for her people and family. She’s been married four times, her first two husbands sadly dying doing selfless acts to protect someone or multiple elems. She’s smart and out of the previous rulers of her land she’s made the most impact with her negotiation and alliances due in part to being mom friends with many of the allies (they would all meet up to let their kids play and have brunch, they’re very good friends too and will talk about their spouses and what’s going on in such a genuine way). Diantha wont go down easily and crumble like a flower she’s stubborn and threatening when she needs to. She’s a floras serpent who’s not afraid to spit venom (literally) at those who cross her or her children (she’s a mama bear who will put the fear of god in you if you hurt any of her babies).
2. Beatrice DeLacey
She’s based on an Eurasian magpie, she’s powerful and confident despite having been born with a chronic disease that eventually kills her. She plays coy and aloof to lower the guard of those she knows won’t see her strengths and will turn around and display her intelligence and wit. She’s not weak and will tower over men who try to sweep her. She’ll put them in their place.
1. Aylin Valinroy
Queen Aylin, a sharp and intimidating woman standing at 5’4” she doesn’t reveal her thoughts so easily and masks behind a cold and stern gaze. She met her first husband while preparing for her coordination but only in passing, it wouldn’t be until she was looking for a fiancé that she’d truly meet him. See, Aylin didn’t want to be courted, she wasn’t a prize and she wanted her future husband or wife or partner to know that she wasn’t weak and dainty; so she has her suitors challenge her to a duel. Lucian (first husband) was a semi decorated soldier/guard who was the only one who could match her ending up having to call a draw via a stalemate lasting two days. They were still engaged when while out on a diplomatic matter, Lucian was ambushed and killed while Aylin was pregnant (elem gestation is a topic for later uh ye. Dreamscapers are like kangaroos in being able to pause theirs while it doesn’t affect the embryo)• a war later in the middle of the night an unexpected attack would take place on Amaterasu. Instead of running away and escaping as her staff pleaded with her, Aylin while still in her nightgown dawned pieces of her fiancé’s armor and grab her rapier to fight and evacuate any staff who was still stuck inside. She would encounter the supposed organizer of the attack (the attack is a right of passage ceremony for a certain group of elems, this one is a naming ceremony that will officially acknowledge and welcome the one who’s doing it). They would end up clashing and having back and forth banter that Aylin and this stranger were enjoying ending up in the greenhouse where for the first time Aylin was bested by someone. The stranger realized that he was fighting and about to not just take one life but two and he couldn’t handle it-
shit I started sperging about Aylin and Koray’s love story! My bad
Oki that’s my list took maybe an hour to write but it was fun! Hopefully it sparked yalls interest in my series lite life more 👀

Any rc writers you'd recommend?
Well what you'll like depends on your taste entirely. But I'll list the writers I like, with some notes to hopefully give you an idea about whether you might like them as well!
Personal favourites:
Arina (Theodora (complete), W Time Catcher (ongoing)) — great at writing complex, adult characters and making you cry. Her LIs are always very compelling and diverse, including female LIs, I want to romance everyone. Very light/dark academia core.
Jester (Moonborn (c), Legend of the Willow (c), Psi (c), The Thunderstorms Saga (o)) — always delivers a solid story with cool plot twists that aren't pulled out of his ass. Mature characters (mostly), subdued romance, political intrigue. Love his MCs, wish he gave more screen time to female LIs. Dry writing and the plot can feel slow at first. I don't agree with his social critique, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Tepish (Sails in the Fog (c), Love from Outer Space (o), Love, Sin & Evil Volume 1 (o)) — the king of variability, mini games and easter eggs. Utilises the interactivity to the full extent. His characters are very two-dimensional, but their simplicity works with the genres he's working with (adventure, comedy and slasher). Has a diverse set of female LIs and gives them screen time. Con is that he takes an eternity to write anything...
(Note that Moonborn and Sails in the Fog are literally the first stories on the app, so they do feel a bit outdated now in terms of art and writing.)
Writers I like, but there's nuance:
Langley (Vying for Versailles (c), 7 Brothers (o)) — similar to Tepish in that her stories are very interactive. A little more character focused. Treats female LIs with respect and overall very queer-inclusive. English is her first language, so I can attest to the fact that the writing is great! Nuance is that her LIs are not to my taste, and I don't like the setting of 7 Brothers at all.
Wincy (Heart of Trespia (c), Soulless (o)) — delivers a solid story, clearly puts a lot of thought into plot and worldbuilding. Also English speaker and queer and wlw-friendly. Wrote two explicitly aspec LIs! Nuance is that I only like one of her stories (Soulless), but I love it so much. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, every LI is deep and compelling in very different ways and MC is just amazing.
Honourable mention to Alexandra (Wave Patrol (c), Path of the Valkyrie (c)) — I loved her stories, but she didn't get to finish either one properly, and now she doesn't work for RC anymore. Forever sad about that.
They only wrote one story, but I like their work so far:
Yim (Hell and High Water (o)) — interactive, diverse, complex characters, queer-friendly, poly options. Another English-speaking speaker. Melancholic and heart-warming tone. A little slow, especially in the beginning, and has been on a hiatus for a whole.
Alexandra (Heaven's Secret: Requiem (o)) — appeal to my tastes specifically. MC is a cold-blooded unempathetic brainiac who can become a little more or less of a psychopath depending on your choices. All romances are fucked up in some way. The vibe is like 2000s post apocalypse zombie game/sci-fi thriller anime. If that's something you're into as well, you will eat this shit up.
Veronica (Dracula: A Love Story (o)) — I am rereading it right now, and the beginning is so corny it's lowkey embarrassing. But the characters win me over every time, and the romances fuck so hard. Veronica grabs me by the heartstrings and never lets go; I don't know how it works, but I'm not alone in this. Cons: takes an eternity to write anything. Gives her only f!LI crumbs.

So... since it has been on my mind for a good chunk of the day, I want to go over what classes I think Darksiders characters would in different MOBAs. This post will be starting with what classes I think they would be in League of Legends, and maybe in reblogs I will go over SMITE and then Heroes of the Storm. I'm going with League because that is the one I know the most about.
FURY: I have mentally gone back and forth between Skirmisher and Diver, leaning more towards Diver with the moveset I gave her in a previous post, it feeling more leaning towards Diver territory.
DEATH: I have also mentally gone back and forth between Skirmisher and Diver for him, leaning more towards Skirmisher, also just based on how I built his moveset.
WAR: He's a Juggernaut. He's big, he's strong, but not the fastest out there. He's hanging with the likes of Aatrox, Garen, and Shyvana.
STRIFE: He's definitely leaning more towards Marksmen, but I personally feel his abilities could potentially, even if very unlikely, land him in Specialist.
ULTHANE: Vanguard. He's an offensive tank like Ornn, one of my inspirations for his Passive.
SAMAEL: He is another I think could go for Diver. Either that or maybe Juggernaut. So either of the two subclasses of Fighter. His ability of lifesteal I gave him is similar to that of Warwick's, who himself is a Diver.
URIEL: Skirmisher. Her overall almost Riven-like moveset is why I say Skirmisher.
The ARCHON: I'm thinking maybe he could be a Catcher, considering one of the abilities I would give him is to root someone in place, akin to the likes of day Morgana. Either that or maybe a Battlemage akin to Swain.
The DESTROYER: I'm torn kinda between Juggernaut and Vanguard. Considering he is a big dragon, the final boss of Darksiders 1, I'm leaning a bit more towards Vaguard for the high-end tankiness, but, to me at least, he also feels like he should be a Juggernaut due to thematic connections to War and how it feels like he shouldn't be too tanky.
WICKED K: Considering my two inspirations for his moveset, Fiora and Jax, are Skirmishers, it feels fitting that our favorite zombie is a Skirmisher.
ABSALOM: I feel like Vanguard works very well, especially as a contrast to Death, his brother, his killer. If Death is a Skirmisher meant to shred through enemies, then Absalom is a Vanguard meant to tank as much as possible while disrupting enemies.
WRATH: Another Vanguard or Juggernaut. I want to lean towards Juggernaut, mostly because if I do basically give him the same Ultimate as Sion, I don't want to just make the guy a straight-up copy of the Champion from League.
AVARICE: I think that since in his boss fight in Darksiders 3 he is quite mobile, and despite me in a previous post saying he could have a similar moveset to Fafnir from SMITE, I do think Avarice as a Assassin could be fun. So if I do make him an Assassin, I think I gotta change up his moveset a bit.
SLOTH: I think he's one that could be fun to make a Warden, where a good chunk of his game plan could be essentially causing his enemies to exhaust themselves, hopefully allowing that he and his team survive.
LUST: I'm kinda torn between Enchanter and Diver, as I took some bits of inspiration for their moveset from Renata Glasc, who is the former, and Wukong, who is the latter. So, maybe with Hybrid champions like Yone and K'Sante, Lust could be a hybrid champion potentially?
GLUTTONY: I'm thinking another Warden, as I believe Gluttony's moveset I gave him could work quite well for a defensive tank. Or maybe Gluttony could be a Catcher instead?
PRIDE: I guess you could say fitting for a Pride, I think they would be a Specialist. The moveset I gave her, especially with the small bit of inspiration from Kayle.
ENVY: I'm thinking Specialist, mostly because with three of her moves being copies of three of the Horsemen's, her game plan in a match could be a bit odd, in a sense. Like imagine combing Teleport Slash, Stoneskin, and World Ender for maybe something akin to going into a fight as Graves, who himself is a Specialist. Or imagine combining any of those with the Ultimate you copied.
AZRAEL: Enchanter. I imagine he would primarily be in support, so making him an Enchanter just feels fitting.
Alright! That is it, for the time being at least. I noticed as I typed this out that as I got to non-player characters, it became a bit easier to put them in certain classes, as well as it feeling like I leaned heavily into Vanguard despite me probably not even deciding all that many fit that classes. Next time I talk about the idea of Darksiders in a MOBA, I'm probably going to go over other characters that exist and some I probably gotta get really creative with for their moveset.
Also! Do any of you agree, disagree, have any different ideas for what classes these characters could fit in? Don't be afraid to share your thoughts if you so wish!

Different kinds of Nightmares in the Rayman Franchise (Headcanons)
I feel like rambling a bit about my headcanons concerning the different kind of Nightmares in the Rayman franchise.
While editing Reverb I came across a segment where this is touched upon, but I just don't have the time to spare to infodump all of those little nuances without interrupting the story at large, so I thought instead of rambling to the folk in Discord I could just take this here for once :D
In the Dreamcatcher Lore Nightmares are not created equal and there are definitive differences among them. There's a bit of a Hierarchy amongst these, too.
Examples include (in no particular order):
Shadowborn Sentient Nightmares born from very strong negative feelings towards another individual. Jano (from Polokus) and Raymesis (from Rayman) are prominent examples of this. They usually are equally as powerful as their counterpart and inherit the dislike for the ‘original’ they spawned from.
Darkness Particularly Powerful Nightmares with mysterious origins. Usually shadowy creatures, sometimes amalgamations of multiple Nightmares. As a raw force of nature they are usually driven by instinct and no more intelligent than an animal, with the exception of Mr. Dark. His intellect is what makes him particularly dangerous. Prominent Examples of this are (as stated above) Mr. Dark, the “Hades Hand” and “Dark Creatures” from Rayman Legends or “the Beast” from Dream Catcher (1). Arguably the Darkmess from Mario + Rabbids if we want to include this.
Jano-Spawn Nightmares that were directly created by and from Jano; “the cute ones” - in his own words. These include the Mini Janos, the Psychlopses, the Antitoons. These can be used by Jano as scouts for him to scry and peer into the world without having to move from his spot by the Cave entrance. They usually sport an uncanny likeness to his own physique. Sometimes Minor Nightmares (like Boney Arms and Darkroots) are used for these purposes as well.
Magically Conjured Created with the purpose to be a living weapon. Not sentient, but highly dangerous and deadly to the touch. Notable examples include Bad Rayman from R1 and Shadow Rayman from the Haunted Paintings.
Corrupted Sentient beings that started out as regular dreamfolk but turned to “the dark side” at some point. Usually more powerful due to their broad experience and history. Prominent Examples include all the Bosses from Rayman 1 and Origins, Ales Mansay or Glombrox. Technically the Hoodlums if we want to stretch it, though Jano does not consider them part of his jurisdiction. (You do not mess with the Lums, the Lums are older than the Gods themselves).
Cave-Tethered Can be born off of anyone; any horrendous fear or bad dream in itself someone might have at night, may that be Polokus or your neighbor Teensy. These are born into and usually never leave the Cave of Bad Dreams and thus do not pose a threat to the Glade at large; but they are likely to cause trouble in the Cave itself and do not listen to anyone (not even Jano). Raymesis loves to “purge” them to let off steam.
Flora E.g. Darkroots and Tulips. These are not sentient but are reactive to their surroundings. Those Nightmares are not usually created consciously and more so an effect of a Nightmare infestation to a plot of land (aka the ENTIRETY of the Land of the Livid Dead, the Cave of Bad Dreams). Not to be confused with the common Flora that just happens to be dangerous like the green darkroots or sea anemones.
The Livid Dead E.g. the toxic fumes with faces from R2, the Skeletal Arms from the Cave or the Tomb of Ancients, the Zombie Chickens or the inhabitants of the Land of the Livid Dead. What makes them exceptional is that they refuse to die (e.g. the First King) or are born undead (Zombie Chicken Eggs). These Nightmares have the means to repopulate naturally. Usually, they are content and peaceful if left alone, though they can be territorial or protective (of their nests or gardens e.g.).
Not-Really-Nightmares
Minions Often confused for Nightmares this category encompasses anything that passes as regular Dreamfolk. The “Common Enemies” encountered in the games that are never seen redeemed and are actively out to cause trouble. E.g. the Lividstones and Hunters, less so territorial native wildlife, like the Piranha. Calling someone a "Nightmare" is a popular insult for people who are a nuisance (depending on the situation either used jokingly or as a legit slur).
Various Just because a character is an enemy doesn't strictly make them a Nightmare. The Knaaren are their own culture from their own god, and the Pirates were an outside force (which is why Polokus was willing to deal with them and Jano attempted to help by spreading rumors of a treasure hidden in his cave - but that's a headcanon for a different day :D)
Is all of this a shameless plug for my fic? Maybe :'D (you can find more about that here /cough). Is it me just wanting to Infodump? Also Yeah. I do it rarely enough here - and the Rayman Nightmares give me brainworms.
