Now that March of the Machine story has been fully released I can ask, how did your ocs weather the Phyrexia invasion of the multiverse?

Arnoss: Was on Ocaelum prepared to defend it from an invasion that never came. Now feels bad he did "nothing to help" during it.

Zarunpel: Worked alongside her sisters to keep her home and land safe even after the courts fell. The Alernis territory has the advantage of being closer to the Wilds and their influence, which the Phyrexians had a very hard time dealing with. It doesn't always make sense to Phyrexians which tend to be very scientific about things. Also, with the help of a couple of her sisters and borrowing her mother's sword, she fought @socialpoison's Traenor in his compleated arm and armor, and subsequently cut.

Ysara: She defended the Kaladesh village her home was nearby from. She died in the process, and left to her apprentice/assistant to clean up her skull and bring it to where she was from.

Farell: Heard about the troubles in Paliano, and couldn't resist coming to help Celin, the woman he loves. She was fine, though there was a lot destroyed. Also them being in contact again has led to exchanges about Farell's brother's death that makes everybody involved very sad, because they're living a tragedy.

Dolores: Thankfully her home on New Capenna was in the Mezzio, not on Park Heights. Her partner, @astrisjanus's Inza, stayed back on Capenna to fight the Phyrexians while Dolores herself took advantage of the chaos to go back to her home plane of Ferely. She was aiming to enact a vengeance there unnoticed. She was noticed.

Lhur: Recently consolidated his position on power and prepared his troops when he heard of what may be coming. When it happened, he saw no choice but to climb on his father's throne of shadows to coordinate actions and defense all across his country while channeling his own magic to limit the appearance of branches and portals over it. He emerged from the invasion exhausted, and then came the weeks more of exhausting work to manage the aftermath.

Jaspar: He was on Ikoria, in Indatha, trying to both survive and learn what he could of Nethroi and the Whispers. He fought how he could during the invasion and capped it off by using his magic through his Elderfang and spread over Indatha by Nethroi's whispers to call upon the echoes of Indath and essentially end Phyrexian (and some non Phyrexian) life in the area. He came back to Kaldheim to news of the death of his deity, Koma, and of the very foundation of Kaldheim. He doesn't yet fully accept the truth of that.

Alamir and Nksdv: They had been on New Phyrexia for intel and action for months by the time of the Invasion. Their last contribution to hinder the phyrexians was to remove their anti-planeswalker defense that scattered the assault team, before the Invasion even begun. It turned out to be a compleated planeswalker linked to Realmbreaker, @socialpoison's Ellidus. Alamir removed them and carried them away from the Tree, trying to reason with them and break through Norn's programming. Alamir knew what it was to be made and treated as a weapon and empathized with them. Seeing the planar instability before the end of the planar swap, Nksdv took them back to the Haven, and left Alamir to choose for themselves if they wanted to see the end of their world.

Sezashi: The orochi was fighting on Kamigawa, grown to oppose a compleated mech, and got stabbed by a branch of Realmbreaker in the back. He survived, and Norn's death rendered the oil inert before he could be compleated, though he might have a more metallic scar in his back now. While he was out, he received visions and ideas from the Myojin of Cryptic Dreams, but the Myojin is aptly-named, and he hasn't fully understood them yet.

Nyrhen: Fighting on another plane, then as soon as he got wind of the fact the attack was on every plane, went back to Eldraine to defend his Sanctuary in the Wilds. He killed a lot of Phyrexians that "happened" to find their way towards it.

The Cursetamer: She lost a lot of her collection of Apostates from Ferely on Innistrad and most of her planeswalking agents to compleation, and even she and her wife had trouble getting things under control after that. Her people actually helped her for once instead of the other way around, even if their home gave to Realmbreaker. Her latest Mana Core prototype was also lost, but that one self-destroyed before it could be compleated. Due to its nature, it had more safety features and contingencies than actual functions.

Kinahel: She was on Winrovah, fighting in a corner more desolate than average, in case she needed to use the Worldslayer or lose it into Void and hope for the best. Anything better than letting Phyrexians get their hands on it, even if she had no idea of the potential consequences. She burned herself out fighting and died as soon as she stopped (this is fine, she's a phoenix).

There's more but that's already plenty and I don't want to pollute people's timelines any more than that. If people want to know more about any of those or other characters, either for this arc or in general, you can ask!

Comment peult avoir joye - Josquin des Prez

Comment peult avoir joye Qui fortune contrent? L'oiseau qui pert sa proye De neus ne le souvient Au boys sur la verdure N'a point tout son désir De chanter il n'a cure Qui vit en desplaisir.

Alright, time to bring up some of the developments about my fanwalkers from 2022 (and some more recent in 2023)! Send me an ask about them, and I'll tell you what has changed about them. Ones that have had bigger changes are Anedia, Arega, Dolores, Lhur, Alamir and Zarunpel. Though there's been a few things happening with the others if you really want to ask about it.

Shoutout to Lost Ark for the most WTF monster name I’ve seen in a long time (yes that does in fact say “Bladder Collector Doujebe”)

Not sure how much further I’ll get now I’ve hit 1100 since the RNG mechanics stink, and my lack of progress on either my novel or my fic is annoying me, but if you see me on Stonehearth, feel free to say howdy.

Someone commented on Freefall today to ask if Miri's class was bard, and it really got me thinking about how different her life would have been in her canon timeline if the people in her life recognized the skills that came naturally to her instead of forcing her into the Taveric family legacy. She spent so much of her life in the shadow of her sister who is seven years younger than her and inherited their father's gift for wizardry. Her older brother is following in their father's footsteps as an artificer to eventually take over the family business. But Miriam? Her grandmother is from a nomadic tribe in the Anauroch that migrated south several generations back and currently reside near the Alamir mountains in eastern Calimshan. Magic runs in their blood too, and it's raw and unfiltered and, most of all, taught in a very, very different manner from the structure of the life she was given. And out of the three Taveric kids, she's the one who inherited her grandmother's artistry and wanderlust and desire to create for the sake of creating.

The problem is, that trait skipped a generation, and she spends her youth relatively shut away from her heritage because her mother ran away from her culture and never looked back. And the irony is she may have made a pretty fine artificer if she'd just been allowed to learn via the fuck around and find out method, but her introduction to the Weave was steeped in theoretical magic and memorization, and she just doesn't grasp it because she isn't wired that way.

So she grows up thinking she's broken. That maybe the powers her family members wield so easily just passed her by, and she's never given an alternative to her future.

Now, a big part of her later arc deals with the fact that she does have sorcery in her blood, and after she gets involved with her pact and starts exploring magic more freely, she begins to learn how to use that power. But at that point she doesn't know it comes from within, because the idea that she does have it in her is so foreign to her at this point that she doesn't even consider it within the realm of possibility. So even when she does develop those skills, she's convinced they're tied to her patron, and ofc her patron goes ahead and lets her think she's nothing without the power he grants her, because he's got a vested interest in her feeding his power in return with every kill she racks up.

But what if she's been allowed to indulge her instincts growing up? If her magic had been encouraged in the way she needed, or even if she'd been allowed a bardic pursuit early on? If someone would have told her it's okay to be undisciplined and wild sometimes, it's okay to be distracted by the color of the sky or the sound of rain hitting the paving stones? To tug at the magic that feels right instead of constantly inscribing spells that never seem to stick in a spell book she's constantly misplacing anyway? Bard or sorcerer would have been the natural choice, and if she'd been allowed that she probably would have been seen as an equal to her sister instead of held up as a cautionary tale. Instead, she runs away from her responsibilities, falls in with a dangerous crowd, and makes choices that are objectively bad but also narratively consistent to the idea that everything she does is fueled by a need to prove to herself she's better than what people have told her she is.

Anyway in the end I feel like she and Gale getting involved is a bit like lighting a match next to a puddle of gasoline. Suddenly he's got someone validating everything he's been second guessing. She's got someone who's encouraging her deranged ideas because what's discovery without a little risk? They have broken the brake pedal off of the clown car and are passionately making out on top of the accelerator. Nobody is holding their leash; in fact, it's lying shredded in a ditch as we speak. They're going to Do Things and they aren't going to necessarily be Smart Things but by the gods they're gonna be the Most Characters of all time or die trying.

#miriam taveric #fanfic meta #diz writes #its 2am and I'm drowning in my clown feelings like i didnt invent all of this myself #in an ideal world she'd probably be a sorcerer with like three levels in bard but alas #her life is kind of a cosmic joke 🥲

Ellidus as of ONE, with the incredible card design by @niuttuc .

The Order of Heliud hired @niuttuc 's Alamir to disable the Listening Post, and in the confines of the tunnels under Mirrex, Ellidus could only watch through dozens of eyes as the main tool of their duty as Phyrexia's new sentry was disabled.

Jin-Gitaxias and Norn were most displeased. Ellidus was stripped of their status, their resources, everything. In their need to make up for the loss of the Listening Post, they volunteered their knowledge studying the Immortal Sun to augment Phyrexia's latest project - A barrier around New Phyrexia, meant to impede planeswalking.

They bound themself to a mycosynth pillar that Realmbreaker was coiled around, impaled themself on Realmbreaker's tendrils. They coursed Realmbreaker through their spark, out through the Mycosynth and around the plane, subjecting themself to constant agony, in exchange for the proof of their worth, of their right to exist in their own eyes. They would still watch over New Phyrexia, and bring doom to those who would try to harm their homewold.

Cutscene: "What Happened?"

====

Rebel! Thad, off screen as the Earth was shown: Two years...Two years was all it took for the entire planet of Earth to be destroyed by "Them"...The Syndicate of Steel...*The planet had then been set ablaze and hovering over it was the symbol of the dreaded faction*

Rebel! Thad, as images of Uzi becoming more and more insane began appearing and disappearing: Two years is all it took for someone I knew live long enough to become something "Much" worse...*The final image was of Empress Uzi sitting upon her throne with a condescending smile while holding a wine glass full of oil*

Rebel! Thad: Two years...Has made me finally realize that enough is enough! I knew I couldn't fight this threat by myself, so I've decided to form my own rebellion against The Syndicate of Steel...The Drone Separatists! *The Drone Separatists' own symbol had appeared along with Thad...That slowly added more and more members of the rebellion in the image*

Rebel! Thad: At first, We had started out small but we soon began getting more brave soldiers willing to fight for their freedom! Even those from unlikely places! *Defector! N had shyly waved along with a bunch of other disassembly drones who wanted nothing to do with the empress at all*...My name is Thad Jockington and "We" will stop at nothing to fight for "Our" future!!
