on a scale of 1 to 10 — 1 being the least and 10 being the most — how confident are you in surviving an imposter sagau situation?
short answer: i, a non-native in terrain i’ve only ever navigated with 1) a glider 2) no fear of death 3) via a vessel 4) with a map, against various well trained armies, all hellbent on killing me? you’re funny.
now, the long answer…
the long answer, of course, depends on your preferred brand of isekai, as well as the various traits within that. i will… attempt at brevity, but cannot make promises. oh, and there’s no particular order to this list.
1) blood. i myself am more inclined to blue over gold, but that doesn’t matter for this topic. what does matter is if its present and if it manifests immediately.
2) teyvat. is the earth on my side? do the plants and animals know it’s me, or do i need to ‘prove’ it? does it resent me for whatever reason? what’s it’s level of influence (which sounds dumb, but do i have the power of earthquakes and storms or just a few animal helpers?)
3) the imposter situation itself. is there a physical imposter already there,and if so what’s their level of influence? origin? i’d rather go against a wayward traveller than celestia’s puppet. do they have powers? how does teyvat react to them, if at all?
4) speaking of, celestia. are they on my side, the fake’s(if there is one), or staying neutral? what brand of sagau are we even using here? i know i made a post about my version of sagau lore, but one of the key changes since then was celestia. what version of lore are we following?
5) teyvat’s people, emphasis on vision wielders. do they have that subconscious Know? do their visions act up? how do the people overall feel about the one on the throne, if there is one? if there isn’t, is celestia involved in their opinions somehow? what about the traveller, or my vessels?
6) my influence. what can i do? do i have creator abilities, and if so do they take time/some other cue to manifest? is it something i train, or just Click one day? what level? is it an element by element basis, like the traveller, or does that not apply to me? do i have an inventory? if so, can i access the character menus? the map? waypoints? can i move my party, still? do statues of the seven heal me, does food heal me, how do hillichurls and various abyssal beings react to me? ancient gods, such as rhodea (i spelled that wrong) or dvalin or that fucker in the sea outside liyue (yeah i. forgot his name) or azhdaha or yo(u?)kai, if i’m in inazuma? where are we in the in-game lore, by the way?
7) teyvat, again, but this time in terms of biology. i have a few headcanons about teyvat, notably that their gravity is lesser (less fall damage), weather less severe (global warming), and is overall much more temperate/cooler/less humid (global warmingx2 and also just a touch of idealism), so do these apply? this ties into the other points about teyvat, i guess: does the earth let me get cold? can i just shelter in dragonspine?
8) plot armor, for lack of better phrasing. will teyvat let me die? oh, and do i get timeloop’d, or kicked back to my world? do i die, go to my world, then go back to teyvat when i sleep/next log on/whatever? again, tying into other points about teyvat, but will it protect me from death? is my skin like impenetrable or something, or whoops, god is dead, sorry. if i revive in teyvat, is it like that one recent piece i did where the earth moves me? what happens when (if?) i die? does teyvat take revenge?
the long answer… is that it depends.

Silver 5 & copper 5 for Abby?
Symbolism of Metals OC Questions
(I should probably tag these answers too but ooooh well)
Silver 5. What is something that your OC would find incredibly hard to lie about? Even if they really wanted to do so...
Ooooh oh man. Abby doesn't like to lie in general, and she hasn't really had cause to lie? Oh wow this is really fucking hard. I genuinely have no idea.
Copper 5. If your OC were to be immortalized in art, what would be their preferred medium? An epic poem? An exquisite statue? A flattering painting? Or something else entirely?
Aegon hands down has a tapestry made in her likeness (I included one of Abby as a river nymph in the King's rooms for the Haunt Me side story, Kissed By Fire) and he wants statues and poems and anything else because she's his bb girl.
Abby, on the other hand, is not one for thinking she should immortalize herself in art, however: She does want gardens to be her legacy. She found a lot of escapism and comfort in Rhaenys' garden in the Red Keep, and so she would like her own garden to be remembered by.

Still reading part time soul mate and the idea of like a spark form is interesting to me. What was the idea behind that or did you just think it sounded cool? (It definitely does I'm just curious)
I'm glad you're enjoying it enough to ask questions, I feel VERY honored.
My thoughts and feelings about magic are drawn from a lot of sources and I like to build my own sort of pulls from it. At it's core, yeah I like the idea of Stiles having a Magical "beta" form that looks Sick you know? Like bright silver veins, glowing eyes, almost fae like that really cements his magical connection. But really it's because I separate magic types and put them in their own little spaces.
In teen wolf, Deaton as a druid states that they have to stay neutral and that their powers are tied to that (it makes sense, if you go one way or another you're not akin to nature, more to something else). Spark he states is within, there is a spark in all of us, meaning that people pull from the nature within themselves or around them - like an element or something that connects them. Stiles tapping into that spark would look different than say Lydia or Noah or Claudia.
Derek states that your soul and who you are on the inside changes the form of your wolf - so why wouldn't the type of magic you choose also change your shape and form? It's supported by lore and I mean, if lizard = opposite of wolf, magic can have a fancy form IMO.
My idea for the spark form was the phrase "what would Stiles look like if his magic had form" and then I went from there. Oh also Stiles with silver veins sounded hot.

it's interesting (derogatory) how in most cases when it comes to making a poll that's about identity in some way or another, the possible answers are usually "yes, i am part of [group]", "no, i am not part of [group]", and maybe "i am questioning ". and as someone who is in a few cases neither part of the group nor not part of the group, it can get a bit exhausting. ppl on tumblr start considering experiences outside of their dichotomies that do not have the goal to fit inside them eventually challenge

You answered about Michael, but what about Lucifer? How do you imagine he feels for Michael after the events of the book? Does he miss him, still love him, think of him? Or is Michael someone Lucifer no longer longs for, someone he detests for choosing God over him?
Sometimes Lucifer runs his fingers through Baal's hair and pretends those curls belong to someone else, then he pulls as hard as he can (he imagines scalping, imagines blood and hair all clumped together on the floor).

Yes! Those plants! Are not food for poros. Not taste good! So poros remember. Admittedly, the fact that she can understand the poro's language, which seems to lack most proper nouns, is pretty impressive! But she is impressive.
Anyway, the poro wiggles a paw and chitters more! Was curious! Has heard that she is magical! Does the human magics! Thus, must be snuggly. Is logical!
She sighed and crouched to be on a closer level to the small poro.
"Yes, I can work magic. I'm a sorceress after all." Like her mother, and probably the other that came before her.
"Snuggling is something I don't do often, with the exception of my hounds when they are feeling like it." Drake hounds were not known for being snuggly inclined creatures. To amuse the little critter, she ran her fingers through its white and fluffy fur. "There you go. Happy now?" She had no idea how to be soft without the intentions of manipulating the other person - or creature in that case.
