#AV1

[ybkitten]

Part of my gift to @annelaurant for the Aveyond Winter Exchange! This was the greatest prompt I could have fulfilled. I did, in fact, go back and play all of AV1 again just so I could immerse myself in the game and its mechanics just for this bit.

tbh some of the best warmups I've ever done for a piece of art lol

Me just making complicated wild ideas because it's fun. I mentioned that I like the headcanon idea that AV summoners have different "ways "poses" for summoning, so here they are.

Summoning hand gesture:

Lore(ish) headcanon that to "contract" higher rank demons (e.g the daeva) they need to actually know the demon's personal names. If the demon is in front of them they can do this to find out their names with this spell (cannot be done long distance):

All this for drama purposes that I don't really know how to write LOL.

Fave Protag was already done on the Discord server and Mel and Rhen tied xD

So it's time for... WORST ANTAGONIST OF THE SERIES! Who do you think was the worst? In terms of motive, character, moments that made you go... wtf-seriously?is-that-why-you're-being-evil?

Aight my first art piece done for 2024! This one was actually a wip back in 2022 so I’m not sure if this actually counts lol.

Anyway just enjoy the beautiful view with these babies as they live this happy moment. They picked an undiscovered location near Clearwater which was a whole meadow with flowers everywhere.

Remember that small cave in Clearwater that we go through to enter the forest? Lars accidentally blew the wall using those dynamites to prove a point during an argument (I don’t know what that argument was though lol), and VOILA! Secret location unlocked.

Of course they had to make a flower crown. Where there’s a field of flowers, a floral crown shall be made. Obviously Rhen was the one who made them and taught Lars as she was crafting them.

Happy birthday to dear Rhenellaine!

Do you like my art? Please consider commissioning me or buying me a Ko-Fi!

...okay, it’s actually not Rhen’s birthday, but it is ADF Rhen’s birthday. I thought she’d be a Taurus born in April 23 or 25.

So why do I call Rhen that? Simple: I thought it sounded cute. I didn't even intend it as a fanon "real" name; it was meant to be an affectionate long nickname at first! Ellaine is derived from the Greek 'Helen', and means sun ray or shining light. Coupled with the German ‘Rhen’ which means king or ruler, the name Rhenellaine makes for a beautiful name for an inspirational character!

Adding to my list of headcanons, I also think her favorite colors would be purple, yellow, and green. As it turns out, it is very tricky to balance such colors on her altogether! I now have even more respect for Remi and her craft... here’s her own purple, yellow, and green armor for Rhen.

In my (still ongoing) adventure to re-encode all the videos on my Jellyfin server to AV1 in order to save space, I’d like to present you all with the biggest success I’ve had yet:

A 19.06GB folder has been condensed to 9.2GB. 10 whole gigabytes saved by just getting my computer toasty for a few days. Absolutely amazing.

And we still have over 100 GB to go.

changing my mind on webm (we'll see about webp) but the filesize difference between two identical video streams in mp4 and webm, plus vp8/9 and vorbis/opus being open codecs (even if vp8/9 was developed by a company google acquired, and vorbis is kinda old now). i hope av1 ends up making it as standard in webm since it's completely open (no google offering it openly but also holding patents on some parts nonsense).

i do wish they'd pick a different file extension (i'm a bikeshedder, alright ? )

anyways if rhen had a gun she could pass it down the pendragon line. and then. edward inherits the Glock Excalibur and gets to fill gyendal with holy lead

The part in AV1 where I've just graduated and I'm heading towards the Wildwood Forest again always sticks in my mind. I think it's when I felt the most pride in on my first playthrough - I made it here all on my own!

Yes, I know the trees are all wrong for Wildwood Forest. I just hate drawing pine trees lmao. Can u do me a favor and pretend I did?

BTW this is a redraw (original from 2018):

I think we can all agree I got better at art.

This mod adds a new spell into the Necromancer guild's spell book. With this Lars can resurrect dead party members as "zombies" in battle (because, you know, necromancer).

Zombie party members will have attack and defense stat boost, but they cannot be controlled by you. They will just auto-attack the enemy.

(not necessarily the most useful of spells and is mostly just there for the sake of fun and laughs, install and use at your own risk)

Instruction:

Backup your Aveyond 1 game first, just in case

Unzip the mod file

Place in Aveyond 1 game folder

If prompted, select "replace file"

[Get the mod file here]

Additional mechanics notes (don't read if you want to surprise yourself with the mod):

a. Spell is specifically learned at level 60. Just like with the built-in spells, you learn it by reading the spell book at the appropriate level (not auto-learned).

b. Since your zombie friends are technically "dead", they will just go back to being "dead" after battle. Use Cassia leaf or normal Revive spells to bring them back to life as usual.

Time to vote for your fave battle theme of the series! (sorry AP fans xD). I know many of us grew up playing with the default RPG Maker Battle02 theme in AV1 (I know I did!), but to make things consistent, I'm using all of Aaron Walz's versions of the battle themes.

To refresh your memory, I've inserted the themes below:

AVEYOND 1

AVEYOND 2

AVEYOND 3

AVEYOND 4

VOTE AWAY!

so mel marries lars the eighth if she doesn't marry edward, which means, if we calculate eight generations back while assuming every single one of lars' lineage has at least one son who is named lars, aveyond 3 takes place 200 to 250 years after aveyond 1. incheresting!

#it's important to note though that rhen is a sort of legendary figure for thais by the time of av3 #so i imagine there wasn't a consecutive one two three etc for lars. but. if there was. LOL #it's also weird since shadwood academy is aware of thais i'm surprised they didn't have more veneration for her in some form #aveyond blogging #aveyond #av3 #av1

A Nobleman's Quest to Settle Down

Summary: Lars doesn't fit in with Clearwater. What does a rich and smart guy like him do? Make his own town. AO3 Link

A/N: Separate post so I don't hijack @herecomesremi's gorgeous Larshen art. This is decidedly aligned with canon, because I'd never let ADF Lars act this high and mighty at the end of the quest.

(line break)

When a certain nobleman from the Eastern Empire moved in, Clearwater turned upside-down.

Lars Tenobor doubted if this was a good idea. Living among the commoners brought discomfort for everyone involved, after all. But, by some miracle, his mother agreed that he take his share of the fortune and allowed him to build his life wherever he wanted to. Of course, the sensible thing was to spend that money to build a nice house, buy some land, and hire workers to take care of the said land.

Unheard of, Clearwater said. For generations, the lands had always been shared among the community. Working for a businessman - especially a foreigner - was humiliating and more harmful in the long run.

However, between coming here and making Rhen stay in Ghalarah, this was undoubtedly still the better option.

Weekly incidents involved escalations with the village elders - over, again, the land ownership thing - arguments with passing salesmen - because a lot of people would rather let themselves be scammed by these crooks than listen to him - and, admittedly, from time to time, experiments.

It wasn't really Lars' fault, no. People heard running water on that side, so Rhen asked Lars to help her look into it. He didn't even want to do it in the first place and somehow she got mad. See, he even used dynamites instead of his own magic --

And so a portion of the cave blew up.

Everyone blamed Lars, since it's now, magically, his fault that they had to build a road along the cliffs instead of going through the caves. (They're wrong. The cliffside road, even if it would make him dizzy, was much preferable than the dark cave where he could not breathe and risk having his companions go the wrong way, ambushed by the resident monsters, and get blamed for bringing them to trouble when they ran into the trouble while he was warning them not to get themselves in trouble!)

Anyway, the mayor tried to banish Lars to live on the other side of that newly-opened cave. Before he could defend himself, Rhen opposed for him. Proud of her, of course he treated her to a new pet: a nightingale even more exquisite than that of the Veldtian Queen's.

But, in the end, love did not shield him from the consequences of his actions, and Lars had to cave in. He made sure to tear down his beautiful house and revel in the silence of horrified naysayers who, undoubtedly, was planning to seize it from him in the first place. He wanted to sell the land back to the greedy mayor who took his money when he first bought it. As expected, the terrible old man opposed, so Lars gave portions of the land - including their titles and legal rights - to Old Dyonna and the people Rhen truly cared about.

(The mayor couldn't oppose the former Chosen and ex-princess of Thais who brought salvation to the world, and he finally let them be.)

Lars then moved to the other side of the cave, found a lush forest with a running river, and built his new house there. He hired househelp to keep the manor tidy and the animals well-cared for, then he hired guards to make sure that those annoying Clearwater mugs would never touch his property. He struggled with business for a while (those Sedonian crooks), but soon enough, he had people working on his own orchards.

At this point, he no longer knew if he was still considered a resident of Clearwater or not, but he could, of course, be the better person and simply name this land, have it marked on the map, and start a new town altogether.

As smart as he was, the brilliant new name of this mystical new place for himself never came to his genius. Rhen suggested they go on a walk around 'Tenobor Town' - no, that name was too simple!

Not-Tenobor Town was not exactly a town yet, but in the future, it would grow into one. Right now, all it had was a gorgeous waterfall next to his luxurious mansion, rows of orchards and plains for growing food on the other side. His employees already resided next to the lands they cared for, cozy in their little huts and with their own families. They could still clear more trees on the other side to make way for new members of their ever-growing community.

(And what, have everyone call him their mayor? No, no, he was their Lord. Lord Tenobor. Rhen refused to be called the lady of the land. One day, she'd come to her senses and find that this was a privilege and not a power trip.)

A yet-untouched portion of its former large forest stood across the river. Now, Lars didn't allow anyone to venture beyond the river just yet. He simply had a feeling that he had to leave it be.

Rhen, ever so inquisitive, pulled him towards the forest. Even when not in gear, they should be strong enough to face whatever danger there would be. What would be the danger? They'd gone against beehives, poisonous snakes, and multiple-headed wolves before, and they'd triumphed over each foe as rookies fresh from Shadwood. As adults who'd done in Ahriman, they presented more danger to the local fauna!

But Rhen's little risk proved to be a fruitful effort. The birds and the deer cleared out of their way, and after skipping over a few fallen logs and thick briars, the forest stopped. Lars' jaw dropped when the bright light beyond the woods shone over a meadow. Flowers of all colors grew everywhere, and butterflies hovered all over. Beyond the horizon, a rainbow formed above the mountains.

He definitely should restrict this area for just himself and Rhen's use.

Rhen, ever the childish one, immediately pulled him down to the grass and told him to pick flowers. She wanted to make flower crowns for both of them. Though he was too old for this game, Lars rolled his eyes and humored her request. Of course he picked out only purple and white flowers, assuming he'd make it for himself.

When she saw her choice of flowers, Rhen flushed, but didn't make a comment. Instead, she went on to teach him how to delicately weave the stems and leaves together. Don't pull too hard; get the base going first; add in the smaller ones after.

Luckily for his teacher, he was a fast learner. Once finished, Lars held out his crown proudly. Rhen cut his celebration short by grabbing his crown and wearing it for herself.

"I think this fits me more than you," she declared, before promptly adding her crown over his head.

From the craftsmanship and the form of this crown - which made it seem like there was nothing holding it around his head - she'd gone with something that seemed more difficult to form. Not that it looked like he was wearing something, when his flower crown was almost bare of flowers and full of leaves. (Rhen one-upped him again. Again. Again! He loved, loved, loved her too much to be mad at her.)

Now flushed himself, Lars crossed his arms and huffed.

"I'll make the better one next time. You'll see."

"Oh, you! Come here!"

Rhen laughed and jumped into his arms, and he welcomed her as they rolled onto the grass that she so fondly compared his hair to. Her purple hair fell perfectly over her face, even when this messy. He brushed the strands away from her blue eyes that mirrored the sky above them, and captured her lips in a lasting kiss.

"So, what are we naming this place? Larshen Town?"

"Oh, Rhen, please don't ruin the moment."

His wide smile betrayed his amusement, so she snuggled against his chest and dared him to think of a better name than that.

Moving to Clearwater (and to Maybe-Larshen Town after) wasn't too bad of an idea, after all!

So, like I said I was, I'm re-encoding all the videos on my Jellyfin server as AV1 to save space. I've been doing that for about 4-5 days, straight, at this point. So, I'm gonna give a progress update at just how far I've gotten in those 4-5 days.

So far, I've managed to re-encode a singular folder that was about 13.72 GB.

I still have many other folders to go, that all total up to about 109.12 GB.

I'm going to be here forever.

On the bright side, re-encoding the videos as AV1 fixed some of the corruption that caused a lot of them to become unplayably stuttery.

Also, what I have finished re-encoding was once 10.15 GB. It is now 7.70 GB. So, while it is taking forever, I have managed to save over two whole gigabytes by simply running my videos through a program that essentially makes my computer get hot.

So with this level of success without even scratching the surface, I'm excited to see how much space I'll save when all is finally completed.
