obligatory rock murder mention

#i think someone said earlier that they had kind of a lot of mind control stories 'back in those days' #dont remember where #but now im trying to think if we have a lot of them in new who #and if theres something to that in terms of like societal preoccupations #but i guess im just gonna have to...........continue my classic who watch for that and make notes #what do we have in new who? satan comes to mind #midnight but i feel like thats..........a very particular kind it's not like the hypnosis thing you see here #or with the master #or i think sarah jane in the hand of fear? #maybe its JUST because they had the master around who kept hypnotising people tbh like that seems possible #the unquiet dead but thats ghosts more than mind control #i feel like we've got more bodies being taken over than minds in new who? #like the gas mask thing. midnight like i said. 42 with martha and 10? #love and monsters. idiots lantern. the vashta nerada. that guy who got turned into an ood. the masters thing in end of time #11 and the flesh. the god complex perhaps could be mind control? but feels different to me too #but i also havent watched really a lot of classic who so i dont know the vibe of their supposedly frequent mind control #town called mercy. asylum of the daleks. crimson horror. journey to the centre of the tardis? cybermen #it all feels more about the hijacking of the body than the mind or will or whatever #would be intersting to actually look into #if i continue my classic who watch #biggest mind control in new who might have been those mummy monks in pyramid/lie of the land?

about to beat the game with this character so figured it was about time i shared her. estrel, golden order scion and D's apprentice/adoptive daughter. more about her under the cut because. oh boy this girl's got lore.

one day D came by the Bestial Sanctum to collect his incantations paycheck and gurranq just. had a kid. and he was like "...fuck it, i could use some backup anyway" and the rest is history

current working theory is that she came up from the deep siofra well? but this is all a big question mark.

D is the one who gave her the name estrel, to reflect her new surface life as a hunter of death (and because i fucking love elden ring's thing with characters having multiple names). uldin is her original name, but sees very little use nowadays

she's a golden order fundamentalist but she'll also employ bestial (of course) and dragon cult, erdtree and two fingers incantations, and also some misc. sorceries when the need arises. no fire or black flame until after farum azula, and no dragon communion/bloodflame/etc ever.

she wasn't actually that interested in lordship at first, until it became clear that pursuing it was the only way to change the state of the world and permanently free those who live in death. for most of the game her goal is just to weed deathroot

...well, until D dies. then she's out for revenge. she does kill fia; it doesn't feel as good as she'd hoped, but at least she's dead.

she also lands herself in ranni's entourage, but isn't aware at the time of her role in the night of black knives. when she does find out, she leaves ranni's service for a while

the whole game is kind of a crisis of conscience for her, honestly. it takes fia's death, and seeing the death-prince in person, for her to finally determine that she will do whatever it takes to stand before the elden ring and fix what she's come to see as a deep sickness at the heart of the golden order—the rune of death being only mostly sealed, an age where none can truly die.

(those who live in death, tarnished reincarnation—it's all the same. souls are trapped in a twilight, becoming sickened by death without the release and return it should rightly bring. the sun needs to set on the golden prince, so that they may break through the night to a new dawn.)

other misc npc questlines: nepheli (childhood friends at the roundtable), rogier (tries to help him behind D's back, regrets it), sellen (aids her), corhyn and goldmask (eventually gets the mending rune of perfect order)

#elden ring fanart #elden ring #tarnished #elden ring oc #the nemesis speaks #nemesis art #estrel of the golden order #ok she has a tag now maybe i will post more of her idk #elden ring brainrot real. sorry pla people. i have also been writing a little bit more pla fic if that helps #im purposely trying to keep this post to basics but if anyone else has questions... i would not be opposed to talking more... #i like how she mostly uses canon armor except for the mask which is like fuckin. 4 different headpieces mashed together #the talismans/seal on the belt are also not the ones she actually uses. i just thought the favor talisman looked cool hanging there #ok whatever that's enough rambling. hit post

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

so insane that this ep had a villain who wanted to literally blend the bodies of her n her crush together into some kind of terrible marriage chimera n she somehow came off as the more normal one

#ok yes. objectively I know that’s way crazier than going a bit silly living alone for a century. that’s something absolutely anyone would do #n even in normal ooo pb’s bullshit is on a whole different level than ice king’s #but it’s the masking it I think. like candy queen is very upfront about what she wants #even if what she wants is romantic murder suicide #winter king is hidden behind such a fantastical facade that his goal of ‘stay sane no matter the cost’ is to me at least #infinitely more unhinged than whatever candy queen is up to #sanders bullshit #adventure time #fiona and cake #fiona and cake spoilers

A very interesting cloud formation!

#I don't think I had ever really seen clouds like this before? it looks like a cool painting or something :0 #Pulling just a few images from my cloud and sky photos folder which has like 650 pictures in it becvause I'm obsessed with the sky lol #I will usually spare everyone the cloudposting but... in some exceptions when it's really cool I must Share #(upcoming covid mention in tags for those avoiding the topic) #I WANT TO BE ON AN AIRPLANE SO SO BAD I am going to start casting evil spells to explode all these 'back to normal' bastards who are out #spreading virus and shit HHHHHH... Covid is NOT over actually contrary to popular beielf especially for people with health conditions #that make them more vulnerable or would have worse consequences if they were to catch it etc. etc. wearing a mask in public is #in MOSt cases not THAt much of a horrific terrible evil inconvenience and it helps keep everyone around you safer including these #vulnerable populations!!!! Even if I didn't have any problems myself I would STILL be masking because it's a small gesture that can make a #big difference in people around me being comfortable. It's not like people with health issues just never have to go out or go to the stor #or whatever. There are still people out there who could be helped by extra precautions that are being overlooked. grrrrr... #Like at this point since I'm vaccinated and everything I would MAYBE consider flying on an airplane IF everyone else around me #was masking and being just as careful as me. But at this point it's just the wild west and I would literally be the only one who gives #a shit or who gets tested freqeuntly before after and during traveling and wears the proper type of mask well fitting and not half off my f #ce and blah blah blah. And precautions work best when EVEYRONE is participating. There's only so much you can protext yourself if everyone #around you is doing nothing. So.. alas.. I still do not feel safe traveling. And probably won't for years until more progress is made in #terms of like understanding and treating certain long covid issues and etc. Since I think it's inevitable that if I start going out again #I would get covid. Me and my household bubble are some of the only people I know who haven't had it yet (or at least not knowingly so - if #so it was one of the asymptomatic cases etc.). So if I was GOING to get it anyway I'd at least like the assurance that whatever long term #issues I inevtabley suffer because of it will be more easily treatable at that point instead of entirely disabling even further than I'm #already disabled. etc. AAANYWAY!! all that to say. I JSUT REALLY WANT TO be on an airplane!!! I dont even like traveling and going places I #hate vacations and would rather be at home working on my projects I'm fixated on lol HOWEVER I love the view from airplane windows #like the very few times in my life Ive actually been on a plane and the window is so COLD when you lay your forehead on it and sometimes yo #even see little ice crystals and it's like you're just in a landscape of clouds with a sea of clouds above and below and aaaAAAAAA #Literally I want to get on a plane just to go up in the air and then land and fly back. I don't even want to go on a real trip. I just NEED #to see the sky I need to be IN the sky I need to have that VIEW and the cold and everything!!!! gRGGHGgg... And I will do that the entire #time. I think my longest plane ride was 7 hours and I do not watch movies. I dont text or play games. I literally do nothing to entertain #myself except stare straight out the window for 7 hours (with a few eating and bathroom breaks). not even joking lmao. It's like a trance #I LOVE the sky and clouds so much and the view you get from an airplane is like incomparable!! also I love airports with the big windows an #people watching. but mostly I just long for the sky view again. GRRR.. sobbing and yearning >:T

Given that a lot of characters in Ben 10 speak their language without being translated into English, do you think that their language is so common that it's assumed you - supposedly an intergalactic traveler - have whatever language it is as part of your first, second or other languages that it was an oversight (depending on if the Omnitrix has a universal translator or not, one even Azmuth overlooked because something something that one comic about 'the basics to an expert look like advanced knowledge to a newbie') to not include a translation pack for those languages?

Like imagine if Sotoragg (or whatever specific Sotoragg language SixSix and the copycats speaks) is like one of the more common language, if not the MOST common language, of the interplanetarily recognised languages. Whether it's predominantly first language or someone's second language (Mandarin beats out English on first language alone, but countries that predominantly speak English are also predominantly monolingual, English has more second language speakers that pulls ahead), I don't know, but if Tetrax Shard - one of if not the last petrosapien - can understand SixSix while we as the viewer stuck without the knowledge of whatever Sotoragg language he's speaking, maybe it had to be one of the languages he had to learn because guess what Petropian languages aren't very lively now are they!?

#sotoraggian #sixsix #tetrax shard #they're here but as an example #ben 10 #xenolinguistics #i know in the meta it's because it would be uninteresting to have every alien character speak english #having a masked character speak an alien language is a bonus because you don't have to worry how they'd make their sounds #especially the with the way sotoragg sounds or again- whatever sotoragg language sixsix speaks #another note- given that sixsix named himself after the caliber of his laser pistols #which have been helpfully translated into english for us #does that mean he's pulled the 'name yourself in a different language to make yourself sound cooler?' #like the english to japanese names- or the latin to english as a vice versa #which you could say the same for the 'shard' of tetrax shard but that depends on if it's his last name that flagged a accidental translatio #(his last name sounding like a more universal language that would translate to english as 'shard') #or him not having a last name- thinking it would sound cool to have one- and picking one that meant shard or straight up was shard #but that depends on petropian culture headcanons on if petrosapiens had last names or not

rambling in tags

#tried to talk about it on vc but no one's paying attention haha #talkin about it here cuz I've been meaning to share with. someone #hi if you're reading this:) #peter prattles #anyways. started a new project recently; i got a model for my mask so I'm thinking about printing it out? #got the STL (STereoLithography (file format for CAD software made by 3d systems)) files fhe other day; they look like they'll fit well toge #ther after i print them; so that's good. not a lot of sanding ill have to do on the main face shell; 8& #augh #*; it's already textured #i keep pressing comma. stop #anyways. got the files; it took FOREVER to splice but that's alright. i haveta do it regardless #*slice not splice #the whole process of slicing something (FOR 3D MODELING BY THE WAY) is really interesting; i should look more into that #the thing is; the files and info I got on them didn't say what orientation to print the mask in? that was odd #it also didn't say what fill / support types to use. but I'll figure that out in the morning #oh! my favourite part I'm working on for the mask is that it is able to attach / detach in specific sections; so it's easily disassembled #I'm using neodymium magnets (specifically 10mmx1mm or 1/16in discs) to connect it all together #I'm thinking about making it disconnect in about 4/6 different places? four for sure #not sure about the last two though. thinking about making the LENSES of the mask detachable; but i feel like they're more likely to fall of #uhoh i think i did something wrong #i printed (or started to print at least) the domed mesh on the 3d printer instead of the specifically labeled resin printer. i don't have j #I don't have a resin printer #wow there's a lot of tags. okay #so many thoughts in my head apparently #eh whatever. hear about my 3d prints boy #there's an option to make a ventilated mask; or one without the vents at the front #the vents are just small cavities near the front of the mask #right near the nose / mouth would be #ohh it's actually lined up beautifully; it blends right into the webbing on the front of the face #face? mask? eh

[running-in-the-dark]

okay my eyes are still really swollen and my nose still hurts and my head still hurts and I'm so over it. it's been what, 9 hours?? I'm not enjoying this.

#all this just because I used some paint?? #my eyes feel like immediately after you've been crying for 2 hours #not nice #and if I want to try again I'll have to accept that this will happen again and. that's kind of unpleasant. don't want that. #buuut. I only used them for a short while but it was already so much fun 😭 couldn't focus on it that well because everything hurt but it #was fun! #maybe if I wear a mask? don't know if that'd make a difference for my skin but I guess it won't hurt to try #sucks that it's winter and I can't open the window completely #maybe that's the problem #but if I can only use them outside or in summer it's pretty much pointless anyway #ugh. #overthinking this as usual but I wanna use these damn paints so bad!! #I've found a different brand that I can try. I don't know if they use a different oil or whatever but at least these ones aren't of unknown #age so I can rule out that it's just that they've. idk gone bad or something #personal

what is the tumble town gothic au? i am interested 👀

aha! tumble town gothic is a wip that i have had since...august of last year. i've only written 4k of it and have completely and utterly been able to come up with a workable plot instead of just some loose ideas strung together. however, last week i sort of had some new ideas for it so it might be back in the running? as a workable plot?

calling it "tumble town gothic" (which might as well be the real title at this point lsdjfslkfj) is in reference to all those tumblr posts that would be like [location] gothic and have somewhat unsettling things listed. i once described this au to a friend in discord and was told it sounded a bit like nightvale. while writing it, i felt like it reminded me of the episode Midnight in doctor who (and fanfic i read once in another fandom.)

strange things happen in tumble town. there is a creature living there, who has lived there since the very mountains were raised up. tumble town knows it is real--other than that, only pixl knows of it and only within ancient myths, not real life. we never get a good description of what it is because that in itself would be revealing it, and my friend this is an entire fic about not revealing yourself. the creature keeps the town safe. most who enter the valleys and canyons of the mesa do not make it back. those who attempt to heist the town's bank do not make it back. tumble town never receives invaders, because those people do not make it back.

the mesa was here before you, and it will be after you. the creature was here before you, and it will be after you. respect is absolutely key in tumble town--the survival of the town is predicated on it. they respect the land, they respect the creature, they respect each other. respect is also a very real matter of life or death to jimmy, because the continued existence of tumble town depends on it. the creature does not intentionally protect tumble town--tumble town simply exists because it has crafted its entire way of life around keeping the Things in the desert pleased. if the town were to stop respecting the creature, they'd also be killed.

you should never show your true face--you won't be killed if it thinks you aren't human :)

#quara asks #tumble town gothic #in which i pull an empires season 1 and give jimmy a mask he wears all the time #a lot of the toy thing is a result of jimmy and the rest of tumble town specifically wearing masks and things #to make them look different or not alive or whatever #so some people DO have masks that resemble painted dolls :] #jimmy: the creature is fine if we all show respect! #also jimmy: nearly gets killed in the first chapter because he wasnt wearing a mask when there was light present

heartbreaking: the treatment for this chronic illness is equally as painful and annoying as just fucking living with the illness, AND it's expensive

#hi hello i am once again bitching about sleep apnea #i got a new mask and it sucks as much as the old one but in an unforseen way #also the tech or whatever was like 'give it at least two weeks and then if you dont like your mask call me and we'll try a different one' #so i did. i think it was like 16 days i called him and he fit me in at exactly the three week mark #and today he was like 'well since it's been almost a month this will probably be an insurance problem' like bro i did what YOU said !!! #rye.txt #like bro i'll just develop heart disease and die young atp i just want to get through the fucking night

💭 I think the masks themselves have very limited expression . . . Woe eternal smile be upon ye

#*points at my art* #i think itd be cute if they wore different masks for different performances #though the performance ones wouldn't be made of. whats it called #impossium #yeah #theyd probably just be. idk. whatever masks are made out of #each one especially made for different plays and roles
