#+ it was COMPLETELY fucking new lore

[carouselunique]

Cinch had three charges in her care once, Celestia entrusted her with the day-to-day care of Prince Blueblood, the new Princess Cadence and her student Sunset Shimmer - running a kingdom is difficult enough alone without three young ponies to look after - so when Celestia is absent (often) that means Cinch was in charge of these three ponies. And while the matron of the castle was always rigid about rules and wanted her three charges to uphold her reputation and to build their own budding reputations high, she cared about them very much. You'd have to, spending your time with the same three young ponies for so long, guiding and teaching them to be their best...

By the time Ditzy came into the picture, Cinch was down to two charges. She refused to fail them the way she failed...

Well, with one down, there were two left and she cared so much she wouldn't let anyone ruin them, especially not themselves. Surely they would come to realize Cinch was only helping.

stultifera navis rerun AKA thinking about Iberia hours again because a lot of the Iberians have such fascinating relationships with the concept of home but specifically Thorns and Lumen are eating at my brain. like where do you call home when the place that is your home Just Fucking Hates You? Elysium's rewinding breeze specifically makes a point to hammers home how differently Iberia treats its Liberi and its Aegir

(which is especially interesting since this comes right after a conversation where Purestream commented on how despite Leizi being a high ranking government official, there are still some experiences that are universal for all Yanese people - because the experience of what Iberia itself is like isnt universal for all Iberians)

But all that being said, Thorns also straight up states that Aegir is not his home, and yeah, how could it be? How could a place you've never been to, never truly known, ever be your home? How could it ever feel like a home?

so where do you go when the place that you are from hates your people and the place your people are from is completely unfamiliar and alien to you? Thorns' answer at the end of the conversation with Aya is: my home is where i chose it to be. my home is where there are people I care about and people who care about me

in the complete opposite direction, Lumen's oprec asks: why do you still stay in a place that wants you gone? because the people of Gran Faro like Jordi well enough but when push comes to shove, they will want the only Aegir in town gone

and yet, when Rald the messenger offers him a chance to leave Jordi turns him down and when he's forced to escape Gran Faro after the people there literally try to send him to his death (or worse) at the hands of the Inquisitors he keeps trying to go back because like everyone in stultifera navis, Jordi is clinging to his own dreams of a golden age

but the shape of that dream is unique to every character and for Jordi, his dreams are deeply, inseparably bound to the Eye of Iberia, the legacy his parents left behind

and it's this dream of becoming someone great, of bringing about that golden age that his parents devoted their lives to help create that ties Jordi to this nothing town because despite everything, despite the mistrust of the townsfolk and the hostility of the Inquisition and the danger from the ocean, he simply cannot leave it behind

(or, because i personally dislike the official translation,)

"I just see this place as my home"

so yeah. not sure what overall point i was trying to make here i'm just. deeply in love with these stories about chosing what is and isn't your home, of saying you will not call a place your home because it has given you no reason to or saying you consider a place your home even though it has given you every reason not to. deeply unwell about them <3

#arknights #asto speaks #not much of an essay writer i just keep thinking about them and i need to force other people to think about them too #thorns story fucks me up bc like. this whole almost found family adjacent idea of like #maybe home isnt something decided by your birth but something you can chose based on what truly matters to you #it just gets to me. i guess. #jordi gets to me in a completely different direction there's nothing personal about it i just find his story *fascinating* #just a guy. a completely normal guy. an absolute nobody caught up in these dreams of greatness while also fully aware of his own normalcy #but never letting either of those overshadow the other. never losing that self awareness or that fuckin obsessive determination #god. what a Character #i love jordi so much like genuinely #i joke a lot about him being just a Guy but thats also kinda like the best thing about him #the fact that he is the way that he is and does all the things he does despite being just a Guy #gently holds #for context i was so hyped about new iberia lore when sn was announced i read the whole thing as soon as it dropped on cn server #cuz someone uploaded all the story sections to bilibili right after it came out #and '我只是把这里当作自己的故乡啊' fucking hit me SO HARD #in like the greater context of elysium demanding to know why hes risking his life in like 5 different ways to return to gran faro #because yeah jordi just doesnt want to leave his home but like we the audience knows the full *weight* of what that home means to him #and the weight of the dreams that made him chose to see Gran Faro as his home and to refuse to let go of that #thats why i like the original a lot more than the translation i think like it really emphasises that active *choice*. #this is the place jordi has *decided* to see as his home and he knows what that means and what it means to him #side note the part on thorns might not actually age well depending on whether hg decides to ever release more aulus lore #i mean i'll gladly take the L if it means more aulus and/or thorns lore like #i just wanna know what (if anything) is tying him to iberia yknow #ak #iberiaposting

it’s pretty clear that a few in-universe years have passed between botw and totk, but now I’m wondering when those years have passed

by which I mean, is the intro sequence of zelda and link exploring under the castle happening after that gap, or does the gap happen while Link is recovering from having lost his arm?

or third option, both?

because it’s clear that zelda has been busy before she disappeared. She’s found the dondon, she’s helped people, she’s started a school, etc

but at the same time, people have adapted to the events that followed the upheaval to such a degree (the yigas in the depth, the sheikahs in kakariko...) that it also feels like a while has passed since that happened...

#actually and tbh I get the vibe that Link and Zelda probably weren't together for a while before exploring the castle's underground #bc there's a lot of stuff that zelda did that's treated as complete news to link #possible it's weird localisation/nintendo kinda not giving a fuck about lore in this one #sadly I feel it's them not giving a fuck #jau rants

remembered how pissed i was with the two kyurem plot twist when it happened lol

#like okay MAYBE some legendaries you can argue it being possible for there being more than one of them #BUT KYUREM??? THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE #legendary pokemon are supposed to be gods a lot of the time it makes no sense for there to be multiple rayquazas #or the beasts #like there's some cool little character tidbits that would be cool if canon but jesus christ the legendary lore in the game upsets me #also in the new pla event it's implied that the pla protag ISNT the dppt protag or assistant and im just #NO THATS SO DUMB WHY #pleeeeaaase just have it so the pla protag's personality change a little after getting amnesia or something #them being like a completely different guy from dawn or lucas makes no sense to me #basically ignore masters lore because the info we get from it is stupid and i hate it #eternity island sweep instead

[oldfacesnewdawnoffical]

i've been looking for anywhere you've said so and haven't been able to find it so i gotta ask: what is an archfiend?

Oh gosh?? I could’ve sworn I answered this in more detail somewhere else, but I also can’t find it lol ^^’ So I’ll answer it again now!!

(And also add “archfiend” to the OFND dictionary-)

OFND plays a lot into themes of radiation and intelligence when it comes to specific characters and foes. In this post-apocalyptic world, creatures are split into two: mindful (creatures that have intelligence comparable to the extinct humans), and mindless (creatures that have intelligence that are the same to their real life animal counterparts). With that being said, any creature, regardless of the status of their minds, has the potential to be touched by radiation and develop unique traits.

When a mindless creature gets multiple of these traits, they also have the potential to grow exponentially in size - to about the size of a small school bus. This growth trait is not found in any mindful. When a mindless grows to this size, with all of their traits, their brains stay the same size, leading to additional aggression, less of a drive for self-preservation, and more of a drive for destruction. They are killing machines, and nothing more.

These creatures are called “archfiends”.

#old faces new dawn #you do NOT want to fuck with one of these #if you come face to face with one and aren’t completely prepared? #death WILL follow. #it isn’t a question of “if”…. just “when” #warrior cats rewrite #warriors rewrite #ask #pigeonpelt #this is why it was such a big deal when scourge came into town and wiped the ruins of the archfiends #not only driving some off #but /capturing/ some to keep those under him safe #important lore alert

spent 7 hours yesterday in a call with my friends spectating their dnd game and it made me into a new man

#river.txt #im joking. not completely new #but it did make me want to consider getting into dnd for the 1st time in my life #its still very intimidating but #man does it look fun #downloading b/g/3 as we speak #*sigh* guess im trying it again #not to mention i woke up at 5am because i had to feed the cats but then i couldnt fall back asleep #because i just started thinking about a new character and i had to hop on my pc to write down the Lore #and then long story short i figured b/g/3 has a pretty good cc from what i remember #and it is dnd world anyway #so i thought. man. fine. i will fucking try it ok. i will download it again. #we will see how far i get but #man #Man.

[neekrobite]

Bro your OCs are around 30???? 21 is YOUNG to you? You’re OLD!

ite so canon ages for my characters

trix is 36, she can shift between being a zoroark and zorau at will, she seems pretty average age tbh

puzzles is 34, shes friends with trix

sap and necco are both 21, despite me being 18, and them both being fursonas and yea they are young i think personally

swift is 24, also pretty young tbh

cals is my second youngest character who is 20

honeydew is freaking 64, they are also, in fact, a parent

neekrobite is 18, he's just my age lmao i just up it everytime its my birthday, probably gonna do the same with the plus 3 years too for necco and sap tbh

and litchG is fucking 223 shes an old ass bitch

oh yea also blanks like 2 years old canonically because it is just a living drawing lmao

#and even then im making another new character who's gonna be 928 years old so fuck you #deadass i make age approiate characters instead of all 18 year olds #i have diversity #of all types #age gender species it's all diverse #well pretty diverse i think since swift is non binary but like everyone else is cis #well i guess honeydew uses they/them pronouns along with herm pronouns (don't look up herm just know it means shi/hir basically) #fuck i even have them be living completely different lives instead of all adventure or sci fi #and they are all canonically in the same realm (different universes but can see each other by travel) #but like puzzles lives quite nice life and is genuinely rich #while litchG is someone who's been abused violently by capitalism and has 14 bucks to her name #sap is a feral fennec who lives in a forest and makes potions for free for people and swift lives in the same forest as her #swift just hunts food in the wild #they are all different they are so different they have so much unspoken lore you wouldn't believe

i literally do not know what i want to do with adaline. like i dont necessarily want her to die but endwalker is It for her. she does not do any of the post-patch quests. she isnt there. thats not her. dawntrail? she isnt going. but she is like the least likely of all the scions to Ever retire. being the warrior of light is a type of atonement for her. it is what she must do even if she despises it. so the only answer for her really is death.

#.text #adaline rozovy #i dont want her to die because ive already made it clear for her that the reason she made it back to the scions #after the fight with zenos is because she wanted to see them again so bad it Literally brought her back to them #the thought of never seeing the twins grow up is what made her decide she wanted to live. #whatever happens in 6.5 is gonna be what makes the decision i guess... #im toying with the idea that she gets locked in the 13th but then with the premise of dawntrail. that idea is TOO funny. #like. adaline. the warrior of light and darkness. their most dearest friend. goes missing in a place they cant reach #in a place that might kill her. so instead of trying to find a way to save her they go on vacation. #ive already been playing with the idea of a new wol too. someone a lot younger. #like. 19 at minimum. but the premise of dawntrail ruins EVERYTHING #im not even the only one who thinks this. the amnt of people ive seen go 'this fucks up my lore completely' is so funny #nobody likes this. this is the worlds stupidest thing ever #unless its like an illusionary world the wol slash the scions get stuck in after 6.5 with the potential collapse of the 13th. #i dont see any reason for it. #its dumb. and also a little racist. #but whatever

[rizzler-tetanus-ball]

sticking up your gyatt for the rizzler you’re so skibidi you’re so skibidi/ref

{ 🕸️ :: so glad you sent this ask so i can reveal to the public that the rizzler's name is infact based off this, thank you. here i'll include his origins in the tags too hold on }

#tbcu #ooc post #he was supposed to be a shitpost character that served as some stupid joke counterpart for the wizard that would just say 'im the rizzler!' #and then go completely inactive being known as that one ball who just. interacted with the wizard and Said That #but then i got weirdly attached. and i got excited to join the tbcu. and people encouraged me. #and despite being begged to make a new blog that was hopefully more serious #i did not. #so now my only fucking tbcu oc is the RIZZLER and i REALLY LIKE HIM and his DESIGN #and i REALLY LIKE BUILDING ON HIS CHARACTER AND LORE AND ABILITY. and now im fucking stuck with this like shitty hyperfixation #on a guy named THE RIZZLER.

[shanedoesdoodles]

So remember how I talked about possibly wanted to make an octosona? Well. I made him. And gave him lore

Hes a little guy that lives in my brain now I guess

He goes by a few different names but the one he remembers to use the most is Nontical

#Short and sweet of his lore is he was going to be sanitized #Escaped halfway through the process #And the partial sanitation fucked up his memory to the point where he just completely forgot who he was #So he created a new identity based off some forgotten human stuff left in an archive #The scars are unrelated. He got those by being a dumbass and hopping face first into a broken fence #While forgetting to turn to swim form because he was very drunk at the time #Also the weird pupils just a fun contact he wears because he's not a big fan of how the sanitation made his eye look #shanes doodles #shanedoesdoodles #splatoon 3

[stormlore]

aaaaaaa im gonna fuck up my progens i need to love them again

#scatter breed change new genes they're gonna be completely different dragons #new lore for them too i think #not that they have much to begin with #fuck it its been a whole fucking decade we're starting over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

milf necromancer v2.0

patch notes:

changed her from high elf to seldarine drow

gave her some sick clothes

more wrinkles

#kit speaks #also remembered some ancient lore about her: #she's very fucked up but she Thinks she's like super well adjusted #she has a raven familiar who was her only friend for a very long time #got into necromancy because she found a cool tomb and wanted to do archeology better #had a human lost love that she's kinda devastated about but she's Fine #she just works all the time to distract her from the hole in her heart but that's Normal. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT #she's not going to do necromancy on him because he was explicitly 'if you revive me i will kill you' paladins 🙄 #anyways as for new lore i've decided that she has a couple of half-elf kids with this guy and she's an absentee mum #bc she thinks that's better than being completely overbearing like her mother was #we hate moderation here! #oc: liliana

My “favorite” thing about the bloodborne AU is each time I get a burst of excitement and inspiration for it, the very first thing I have to do is scrap tens of thousands of words of written work because it’s cluttering the story.

I’m not deleting them, but good god each time I look at this monster I realize a huge problem is I’m doing the equivalent of trying to explain all the backstory and lore in the fic itself. Which, like, most of my worldbuilding has been more for me than my readers. For internal guidelines and rules to follow, but they would detract from the story if left in.

I am just not used to doing this kind of in depth world building, so I have to stop come up with explanations and background to help me chart out the plot, and then painfully realize that there is no way for me to include some of these things at all.

I have a hole document just for Etherian Customs and Practices, a deep dive breakdown on the main types of blood (one of which I don’t think even makes a named on page appearance), major institutions, political historys and alliances, important items to the story, and a timeline that stretches over the 72 years the broader fic takes place during.

And today I realized I need to focus in on one character’s story if I ever hope to finish this.

I’m glad I’m making it better! Just! Would be cool to write something that will actually be in the fic. :)

#I think Catra farming blood vials will make it #and there's a few thousand words that might work out with some major tweaks/edits #me: I don't want to write a novel because of all the intensive behind the scenes work! #also me: okay but what if I had to piece together bloodborne's many theories on lore into a cohesive thing- #and then have to completely re-write it to be a proper fusion story and then re-write that to be a workable story and- #re-write that to be both readable and enjoyable #me feeling a sense of dread overtaking me: that would be wild wouldn't it.... #anyhow finally figured out that since Catra's story is the one I'm most interested in it's the one I should write #even though she doesn't have as many overarching story beats as Adora or Glimmer #All the major turning point in the AU happen because of Catra by her choice or existence #hurray for writing about cycles and choices and fate #this is also the most not spop fic to be a spop fic #what if I took everything I love from this franchise and invert it to fit the spiritual antithesis to it? #purposefully trying to not break any characterizations but having those characters be put into this new world so unlike their own #ugh #complaining about writing #just needed to vent a little lol #super annoying to want to write only to open the folder and see all the docs and immediately feel overwhelmed #been trying to put new ideas in their own docs just to get things moving and on paper #it will all count in the end and make the story richer and better but fuck damn dude let me live

#the longer this season goes on the more difficult im finding w/w/d/i/t/s to watch #its really really hard watching outright abusive behaviour played for yuks with n/andor and m/arwa #and like... his behaviour towards g/uillermo has always been awful too #but man seeing it play out in this context & to this extreme is BAD #at this point i actively dislike n/andor as a character & get upset/pissed off when he shows up #and im super not shipping n/andermo anymore i dont WANT him to get a big redemption romance #the show has just.... taken his entire character in this really ugly direction and its soiled so much of the show for me #i think the distinction is when he was treating g/uillermo like crap it was sort of couched in like #''well hes a vampire he views a human familiar as lesser its not personal its just a Vampire Thing'' #which SUCKS but its like.... Consistent With The Lore #this is just him being a complete dickhead to his literal wife #for NO REASON #i hope m/arwa fucking stakes him and n/adja turns g/uillermo because they need a new permanent flatmate

btw i have not posted art in a few days bc again we are in the process of moving i dont always have time to draw but i feel like my brain is going to explode with the amount of ideas i have that i cannot for some reason talk about. at all times i am thinking abt a hundred things and i post about one of them maybe sometimes. youll never know about the incredibly in depth persona 5 destiny au that has been forming in my brain for the last three weeks

#not art #albeit i have not caught up in destiny in like a fucking year. my knowledge of it spans from #red war to beyond light. anything before or after that i dont really know and i didnt really pay attention to some of the seasons #like arrivals and uhh the caiatl introduction one. sorry im just invested in the eliksni mostly. but like #a lot of the lore and concepts of the destiny world drive me insane i am so deeply in love with the idea #of guardians and light and darkness and what it means to be chosen by a god and the question of identity #when you cannot remember anything about your past and are expected to simply start over and let yourself #become something completely new. some kind of perfect living weapon of destruction for a wordless faceless god #that eternal question of who is that under the mask. who are you when you have nothing. when your light is destroyed #what makes a guardian. what does that mean. what happens when you take that away #what parts of you are ingrained so deeply that you have kept those traits through death and amnesia #and what parts of you are so different as to be unrecognizable because of the way you live now #what does free will mean when you exist at the whims of a higher power. when your life was picked at random #DESTINY IS SO AWESOME CONCEPTUALLY IT SUCKS THAT ITS PAY TO PLAY AND DOESNT REALLY WELCOME NEW PLAYERS #AND THAT SO SO SO MUCH CONTENT YEARS WORTH OF CONTENT AND LORE HAS BEEN SUNSET #AND IS NOW PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCESS AND YOUD JUST HAVE TO READ ABOUT IT THROUGH OLD LORE ENTRIES AND POSTS #AND EXTRAPOLATE FROM CUTSCENES WHATS GOING ON. DESTINY IS GREAT. ID LOVE TO PLAY AND ENJOY IT #sorry i like somehow really deeply imprinted on this space shooter game back in 2020 somethings wrong with me

Me: The only way I'm going to spread my wings and get myself out there in the world is if I meet new people and let myself be known

Also me when I have to talk to anyone who isn't my two friends or my family I talk to everyday:

#i've had too much trauma with friend groups completely fucking me over the thought of talking to new people sends me down a spiral #like why would i put myself out there if in the end i'm just going to get thrown out and discarded #people try and talk to me and i just ghost them it's so self sabotaging but i would rather burn someone else than be burned myself #it's just hard cause so much of being an adult especially in my field of work is networking but i just can't meet new people #i wish i could just zap my lore into people's brains so i wouldn't have to open up to them they'd just know #roma tomatoes
