Pic context: Talking about the exy stadium at USC considering the fact that USC is a real school

I love how Nora just invents things in order to avoid complications with real-life things.

Like, using USC's football stadium as the exy stadium too would take a lot of work to figure out how that would be possible. Solution: invent a new stadium!

Having the characters play a real sport that already exists would mean looking into all the rules and regulations and history, etc, and there could be multiple elements of the sport that work against the plot of the story or complicate it in some way. Solution: invent a new sport!

I mean, it gives her full creative control over what happens in the story, and we as readers get to learn about a cool new thing without feeling the need to fact-check every element. Tbh, it makes so much sense to me.

Like, go off! Make stuff up! It's your world. We're just reading and enjoying and becoming obsessed with it!!!

#also the fact that palmetto state university is made up #it's based on an actual college but it doesnt actually exist lol #and again i think that makes sense #it allows us to become immersed in this fiction story even though it takes place in our world #i think having these elements unique to that world also makes it easier to go along with the plot #like imagine if neil was being hunted by his serial killer father and the yakuza while attending the university of south carolina #and playing hokey or lacrosse or smth #the made up stuff helps woth the immersion imo #anyway i just wanted to point out how funny it was that her solution is to make stuff up #like makes sense 100% work smarter not harder #tbh if the series wasnt centered around a fake sport i prob wouldnt have read it 💀 #like im just being real here #so thank you nora for going through the trouble of creating a whole new sport #bc im sure that was the final thing that convinced many people to read it (i.e. me) #anyway rant over #aftg #all for the game #nora sakavic #the sunshine court #tsc #the foxhole court #the raven king #the kings men #exy

#genuinely had no clue tsc was even in the making #I’ve been seeing stuff about it all day and had no idea what you lot were on about #I’ve just found out today lol #haven’t touched this series in like 7 years but now I’m reinvested #I’m so out of the loop I thought it was a new jerejean fanfic lolll #I may have to read this now #neil josten #exy #andrew minyard #the sunshine court #nora sakavic #the foxhole court #the foxes #ya #exy is sexy

Going feral about hinndredd and hinndredd Louie really all the hinndredd characters and versions of characters it’s where a lot of the older ideas regarding when hinndredd was on earth went along with the door lore, the Hamilton rip-off, the older version of current earth patchwork back when he was just a original patchwork reboot and not his own thing inspired mildly by bojack horseman, the older nightmare fuel reboot and associated lore, thauriel, Magnus tilby, more distilled and combined forms of characters that are sometimes somewhat demigod esc, the tower with myself at the top of it, azazel/cult on his endless quest to dig a pit, the scp characters, Magnus tilby, stuff regarding the origins of bauddalins, both types of joy(which ended up basically zombies without me noticing), every dropped plot thread that has ever existed, Magnus tilby

#hark says i #100%birdmade #ocs #<*| hinndredd #<*| bauddalins #oc lore #my oc lore is so self referential and tangled no one but me can decipher it #when you get two separate reboots of the exact same guy deep you know you’ve gone to far #when every remotely separate evolution of Louie Howard has been made into their own characters you’re in too deep #fuck I’m actually three patchwork reboots deep if I’m putting the first fully fledged form of the first proper patchwork reboot in hinndredd #hinndredd doesn’t count hinndredd doesn’t count #see having new ideas is hard so when I get bored I go back to old ideas but do them different this time #hence the fucking joshes(technically louies but Louie would be so pissed if anyone else had his name and I respect him) #I offer him a seat as a god of this world Ives made but he has no free will so he cannot take it I keep the option open for him though #oh shit there is another Louie Louie from back when they went to space but as previously stated Louie cannot think for himself so he cannot #actually be pissed at me #I could just not have louie from back when they went to space but a lot of hinndredd stuff is from just after his era and he and all the cha #racters surrounding him are so unique from their later counterparts I can’t help but include them #old Nora and Eira where fucking wild #plus like I want space travel and no one else does that except from Bob who’s lore is exclusively a David bowie animatic and becomes the god #of natural death after getting scooped by birds #aka god aka myself #so many bobs too I just don’t make a big deal out of it because they’re all from mostly irrelevant lore and I don’t like them

thank you @funkypoacher, @damejudyhench, @natesofrellis, @direwombat, @socially-awkward-skeleton, and @the-lastcall for tagging me to do this fantastic holiday meiker! it's so cute and has so many fun options, it took me forever

Micah Hale | Far Cry 5 - when you're married to John, ugly sweaters aren't really an option, but she's making the most of the holidays in the bunker with her husband and children

Lilith Mallory | Far Cry 5 - modeling the Peggie holiday jumper, with poisonous flower crown and an ornament that may possibly contain explosives. a girl's got to make her own fun in a bunker full of Chosen

Lore Jameson | The Outer Worlds - she's just bringing out the desserts and has no idea why everyone's staring at her and making such a fuss about where she's standing. she's also not too happy with the smug look on Max's face

Nora Jameson | The Outer Worlds - wearing the winning ugly sweater, Nora always goes all out, but right now she's just delighted snapping photos of her sister getting a mistletoe kiss

no one realizes the pain of getting a puck shot at either your hand or toe during a game. it hurts like nothing you’ve felt before. then you start going through the stage where you’re insanely scared that you broke a bone.

i experienced this type of pain by shots that were fast, but not rockets. now imagine this, but an nhl players’ shot. they shoot at 80-100 mph on average!

so remember this before you call someone a baby for leaving the ice after blocking a shot!!

#stuff like this makes me angry #bc i just know that if those ppl got hit with a puck they’d be crying like a baby #nora rambles :0 #nhl lb

unpopular opinion the Maya models don’t look bad at all. But at the same time the only ones that look good to me are the ones in darker clothing, with darker skin, etc etc because YOU CANT TELL THERES NO FUCKING TEXTURING!!!!!!!!!

#rwde #also mostly talking about how the Maya models looked in v4-5 and somewhat 6 because #Wow the moment they put in that really chunky shading that looks ugly. IT LOOKED UGLY #characters like ilia looked good to me. no im not saying that cuz im her bff bestie forever friendship bracelet im genuine #adams design fucking sucked but I will not lie he looked good. and he looked fucking stellar in the short with his old design. #though again. that short had bloom lighting. and bloom lighting clutches all #they made his horns look like horns! yes we lost the mask texturing in the war but also WE GAVE HIS ASS ACTUAL HORN LOOKING HORNS!!!!! #ok enough stroking the only two characters I talk about on this account. #nora looked good! she wore bright colors yes but she also had that blacker jacket. #Ruby’s design also sucked but imo i feel it translated decently into Maya! #but then we get to v7 and you can noticeably tell stuff starts looking shitty outside of the backgrounds. #They smoothed out the girls faces. Will not lie it sometimes looks like they just copied Ruby’s base four times #and only editted the busy size or height to make the girls. The shading makes stuff look bad. The bloom lighting is gone. #Obviously I’m not wanting to blame the animators or modelers as they are for sure overworked to make this. #And as A 3D animator and modeler myself I do genuinely hope these people can be treated well. #But sadly just…. the models after v7 ain’t it for me

Does anyone know how long Andrew was with Aaron and Tilda before he killed her? Because I've read the series 3 times and I was convinced that it was never mentioned... until I was looking for something random in the first book and came across this:

So, here's a rough timeline of Andrew's life (mentions of SA, as per Andrew's backstory):

Born: put in the system

7 years old: His first time being SA. Steven (foster father) makes him say please

7 (or 8)-12 years old: SA at least 2 more times (Jesse and Samuel)

Overall 0-12 years old: moves around 12 different houses, none of them good

12 years old: Moves in with the Spears, start of Drake

12-13 years old: Andrew meets Higgins

13 years old: Higgins meets Aaron, Aaron contacts Andrew, Andrew gets himself thrown in juvie (in March)

(Side note in May of that year Tilda moves herself and Aaron to Columbia)

13-16 years old: Andrew is in juvie, starts playing Exy

15 years old: Aaron, Luther and Andrew meet for a half hour while Andrew is in juvie

16 years old: Andrew leaves juvie, moves in with Aaron and Tilda, Aaron and Andrew make their deal, 5mo later he kills Tilda, moves in with Nicky, gets Aaron clean, starts playing Exy in high school

17 years old: starts working at Eden's, meets Roland (who was 22-23), starts his thing with Roland, Andrew defends Nicky and get put on the drugs

17-18 years old (Sr year of hs): visited by Kevin and Riko

17-18 (most likely 18, 1 month after the Kev&Riko stuff): recruited to the Foxes by Wymack

18 years old: Andrew graduates, starts with the Foxes

18-19 years old: 1st year of college, Betsy tells Andrew the story of Robin Cross during one of their sessions

19 years old: meets Kevin and makes their deal

19 years old: The Foxhole court

19-20 years old: The Raven King, 2nd year of college

20 years old: The Kings Men

20-21 years old: 3rd year or college

21 years old: The Goxes go skiing

21-22 years old: 4th year of college

22 years old (February): Andrew tells Wymack to recruit Robin Cross

22 years old (July or August): (Robin joins the team in June) Andrew tells Robin to fight back, takes Robin to Eden's and they talk, Andrew allows Robin into the group and has her move in with them, starts sharing a bed with Neil

22-23 years old: 5th year of college, Andrew teaches Robin how to use Renee’s knives, Andrew (and the rest of the monsters that are left) help Robin get better at Exy

23 years old: Andrew graduates, he leaves Robin his knives (and Nicky leaves her a key to the Columbia house)

23 years old: Andrew joins his 1st pro team

24 years old: Neil graduates

24-25 years old: Andrew continues on the 1st pro team, Neil joins a different pro team, they make an effort to see each other

25 years old: Andrew joins a pro team with a former Raven as the coach, Andrew and Neil make an effort to see each other a lot

26 years old: Neil joins Andrew's team,

26+ years old: Neil and Andrew move in together and get cats, the rest of his life

(24+ years old (as in at some point during his professional Exy career but idk when): he qualifies for Court, they win gold at the Olympics)

That took quite a bit of research, but it was fun to make! Everything is confirmed through the books and the Extra Content. If there wasn't an exact year I put a range. Should I do a timeline for anyone else?

I didn’t go into details with the stuff in the books but I totally could. I already have a timeline of specific events with exact dates in the books if anyone is interested. Let me know and I'll post it!

#that took like 2 hours to make #but i was reminded of a lot of stuff while making it #aftg #all for the game #andrew minyard #neil josten #andreil #aaron minyard #tilda minyard #robin cross #the foxhole court #the raven king #the kings men #nora sakavic #extra content #aftg extra content

Old stuff from a story I want to write set pre islands of wakfu.

Basically a few years after Nora and Efrim hatch (there like 6-7 maybe), Chibi has already passed away and Yugo is currently the king and Qilbi is plotting to overthrow him and to launch the Zinit again.

In IOW it’s said that Qilbi is supposed to be training her so it’s her leaning about their people and the recantation the council has etc from Qilbi and Yugo.

#Glip and Mina are here aswell #I imagine that they all are grieving in their own way over Chibi’s death because he was the main driving force that held them all together #and Nora obviously doesn’t remember him since she had been reincarnated #Also the dragon twins are here to I’m just not good and drawing them 🥲 #Nora watching her two brothers passive aggressively assault each other every time they are in a room 😐 #Yugo talks about how he had to learn more responsibility and put away being an adventurer to lead his people after Chibi’s death #Y: ‘’ You can’t just make her your errand boy you need to teach Nora stuff.’’ #Q: ‘’Perhaos your right but that worked for you didn’t it?’’ #N: ‘’👁’’ #wakfu #wakfu nora #wakfu yugo #wakfu qilbi #islands of wakfu #pre islands of wakfu #eliatrope council #eliatrope

Make Me Admit Stuff #4, 17, 18, 35, 50

thank you for the ask Cari! I'll answer for Trys and Nora if that's okay (they probably have far more interesting answers than I do, lol)

> make me admit stuff

4. Is trust a big issue for you?

Nora: Sort of. Maybe.

Trystan: Kind of.

Nora: I don't trust people up front.

Trystan: I think my assumptions get in the way even if they mean well. It is a defense instinct almost.

Nora: I think it's good to have some barriers.

Trystan: I think so too. However it works out differently too. My siblings. I trusted them with my whole life. I trusted my family, some of my closest companions. I will never get that lost time back.

Nora: I hate it when they call it a "trust issue". It isn't black and white.

Trystan: Precisely.

17: Who do you feel most comfortable talking to about anything?

Trystan: My sister, Marguerite.

Nora: I'd say my uncle.

Trystan: And sometimes this one too (pointing at Nora) when she is not bullying me.

Nora: I am nice. Come on. Tell them I'm nice.

Trystan: I taught her too much of my snark. But she is a very good listener.

Nora: Yes, because I don't normally want to talk.

Trystan: So that's your reason for listening to me yap about Emily Dickinson?

Nora: No, I actually like the sound of your voice.

Trystan: Aw.

Nora: Don't make it into a thing.

Trystan: I definitely will.

18: The last time you felt broken?

Trystan: Where are the fun questions?

Nora: I think when I am grieving.

Trystan: I think the same. I do not do well with loss of anything.

Nora: Yeah. It's a tough question.

Trystan: I think I have a list that rivals Mount Everest.

Nora: Honestly same. We'll move on.

35: Do you ever write in pencil anymore?

Trystan: I prefer royal blue ink pens. There is a cathartic release in filling up the cartridges.

Nora: Yes. Yes. Pencils are great, man.

Trystan: That's it?

Nora: What more do I say?

Trystan: You have an assorted collection of pencils you nicked from hotels.

Nora: They are very good for sketching.

Trystan: You named them too, did you?

Nora: I don't name pencils. It is what they're called. HB. 2H. All that stuff.

Trystan: You called one a Headless Horseman.

Nora: Yeah. 2"H".

50. Ever used a bow and arrow?

Nora: No.

Trystan: Yes. There was this incident with an apple and a nightingale.

Nora: You've told me that story plenty of times. You shot the apple and not the bird.

Trystan: I wanted an apple. Easy. And I have told the story approximately one time. It pissed off a lot of diplomats though.

Nora: Why would they be mad you didn't shoot the bird?

Trystan: I actually did not know what they wanted me to shoot at.

Nora: This is the equivalent of learning kiddie breakdancing at school and being forced to perform for your relatives.

Trystan: Except they expected dancing and I instead played a piano with a violin string.

Nora: Still a mystery, huh.
