#folkssoul

[fairycretur24]

Felt bad in my own life so I played some folklore, where people’s sadness is both validated and plot relevant. Finally finished Endless Corridor for Ellen, and now time to deal with it for Keats! I’ll finish this beautiful game someday.

Once I can manage to capture Folks using the beat capture system.

something about the way Livane says "The Netherworld is for the Living" really gets to me, and has been echoing in my mind ever since i first heard it, probably a decade ago

#folklore #or folkssouls ig #it's a video game. just finished it again #i think. that at the time i hadnt really encountered any piece of fiction that grappled with the concept of death #and how to process grief and whatnot #so the concept of the netherworld. a place considered to be the afterlife #but is really just an amalgamation of what people think the afterlife is like. #that the people of dead people you meet there are actually just memories. because the dead are dead. #and messengers just being a way to help the living process their grief of a loved one being gone #by communicating with what's left of the memories of the dead #i dont know i dont know #it's for the living #you are /alive/ #idk man #it just gets to me

UPDATE: GDocs Batch 1

Between writing projects, I've decided as a change of pace to resume updating my GDocs library. While I'm confident in Archive of Our Own's longevity, I'm a squirrel at heart and prefer to have backups for my backups for my backups. It's also been shared with me that some readers prefer having fanfiction stored on there for ease of availability (such as in the rare case AO3 is inaccessible).

My immediate goal is to upload all my AO3 and FFNet stories on there so they're in one place. Next, I'd like to include any works in progress that I've discontinued for various reasons and anything that I may have removed from my online spaces. In the long term, I'll be rewriting and editing every completed story, no matter its age, for the sake of posterity. Most of these things will eventually make it onto AO3, such as the improved versions of my stories, but I hate getting ahead of myself! Once I catch GDocs up, it'll be easier for me to concentrate on other platforms.

As of today, 11/01/2022, all 33 of my Kingdom Hearts stories and every instance where I wrote for a single fandom have been uploaded to my GDocs account. This includes: Gouhou Drug (Legal Drug), Trinity Blood, Transformers: Generation One, Penguins of Madagascar, The Bouncer (Video Game), Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), FolksSoul (Folklore), Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Psychonauts, Transformers: War for Cybertron, The Big Bang Theory, Hades (Video Game), Sex Pistols (Love Pistols) as crossovered with Hetalia: Axis Powers, Storm Hawks, Shimotsuma Monogatari (Kamikaze Girls), Transformers: Shattered Glass, Final Fantasy VII as crossovered with Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XIII as crossovered with Final Fantasy X/X-2.

There are some other stories that don't fit those perimeters that are already present from my previous attempts that I won't mention here. And I ask that Transformers fans please pardon the mess while I organize the folder better. When I first started this project years ago, I initially dumped them together, which looks confusing now due to the sheer volume of them. 😅 As I work my way through the different TF universes I will condense them further and combine them per series to make browsing easier.

Next batch will logically be me adding fandoms with 2-5 listings under them, and possibly all of Final Fantasy XV. To keep my health in check, I try and alternate between the smallest and largest ones. Kingdom Hearts was a bit of a test to see how I'd fair doing a huge chunk in one sitting and it was kind of a reality check, hah hah! I had to take frequent breaks, so we'll have to wait and see how I do next time.

Hey do you guys want a good playlist of background music for writing/drawing?

Bc I've spent the last two hours working with the Folklore OST in the background and it's fucking amazing. It's so good

#i cant explain how much i love this game #the music reminds me of some of my fave oldschool classical #and it fits so well with the vibe of the game

Ellen from Folklore (PS3). I always miss this game around this time of the year.

No shading because I’m exhausted; I’ll probably upload the finished version sometime at a later date, but I figured it would be okay to upload as-is for now. I’m just so busy packing up for Japan. I still wanted to get this out in spite of that.

This is because some fanart reminded me that the old game, Folklore (aka FolksSoul) exists, and @sinbinfamiliar reminded me that I love Scarecrow. So, for the last half of this month’s WIP topic, I worked on an outline for a fic for this. I have absolutely no idea when it would be even close to done; I don’t know when I’ll assign the next month of working on it, since I have several other stories planned for the next few months’ topics. But, at least I have something out there for it, now. I’ll put my ideas for the story under the cut.

So, this is Jill, my latest OC. Jill is a New Yorker who was visiting Ireland when she found Scarecrow washed up on the beach. She saw his Id flailing in panic and helped shove it back into his skull, and when he woke he was understandably baffled about why he hadn’t faded away due to a lack of purpose. Jill has a ton of questions and can’t let this opportunity go to waste, so she promises to help find him a new purpose in exchange for information about the magical world.

We have two character arcs here, therefore: Scarecrow dealing with depression now that he is no longer Ellen’s imaginary friend, and not knowing what his purpose is; and Jill having the selfish desire to feel like a special Chosen One interacting with the magic world. Ironically, she is a Chosen One: the Traveler for New York. Not to the Netherworld, since that’s only accessible from Doolin, but to the Fae world. However, this only works if she has the desire to help other people, which starts with her genuinely wanting to help Scarecrow, rather than wanting to go on a special adventure. Her outfit above is her Cloak, the Urban Cloak of New York.

The mystery they run into is that people have been disappearing in New York, all over the state, and Scarecrow has a sense that it’s magical. He helps guide her to the first Fae world, which is full of people worried that something evil is taking over. They discover that the people disappearing are also being erased from memory, so no one else notices they’re gone. Eventually, Scarecrow realizes it’s coming from Jill’s apartment, right under their nose. The entity behind the Cropsey murders has been staying in a hidden door, much like Prisoner Zero in Doctor Who. There’s a Doctor Who moment here where Scarecrow gives Jill the speech about the “thing in the corner of her eye” and “such a big place, with so many empty rooms and so few people in it,” about her apartment.

This leads them to the final world, accessed from the Empire State Building, where they fight Cropsey. Jill falls and Scarecrow saves her with a huge flock of crows, realizing his new purpose is to help her protect the Fae worlds. This takes all his energy, though, and Jill has to absorb his Id to keep him alive. One of the Fae, who has been helping them through all this, leads her to a creepy basement area to “bring him back,” but this has the unexpected consequence of bringing this Fae’s lover, Cropsey, back. Someone’s life force must be given to stop this, and rather than let Scarecrow sacrifice himself again, Jill weakens herself to do it. Thus both their character arcs complete. This stops Cropsey, but also brings Scarecrow back as Jill’s imaginary friend, tied to her life force.

I don’t have many details beyond that. I’d like to have a rooftop scene where they have a fun dance with the Fae. Mostly I just want Scarecrow to be happy. He deserved better.

"What a striking resemblance."

Because I wanted to draw the biggest dork that exists with a little bit of spoilers (who on earth is not going to lose their mind after discovering who really is?) and because our fandom is dead.

Folklore/Folks Soul Ending & Final Bosses

This is such an underrated game. Please play it. It had such a great story.

[fairycretur24]

Just played Folklore/Folkssoul yet again. And fun fact ITS STILL ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE EVER PLAYED. Like yeah its gameplay didn’t age the best but it aged so much better than most other games so we can cut it some slack as we listen to the fantastic soundtrack and look at the stunning visuals from a game from over a DECADE ago. 

God can you imagine seeing a remake/remaster of that game?! It’s be fucking INCREDIBLE. I cannot get over how GOOD this game could be if it got brought back!

#Folklore ps3 #Folkssoul #Video Games #Please someone else learn about this game and like it and make it a cult classic with me so we can someday get a remake #Metal Wolf Chaos got it why can't Folklore

[hal-against-cgl]

really off topic but I was thinking abt this jrp I used to be really into and the fandom is so dead and I haven’t seen any ship/LGBT+/mental illness hcs so uh

Ellen and Keats are a godtier trans+gay duo, they’re too powerful to be reckoned with.

Belgae is gay, but tbh I also hc him as pan??

Livane is an ace lesbian (the reason her and belgae get along so well is bc they’re both ‘obscure’ sexualities)

Scarecrow is agender and loves both men and women sm

Suzette is gay as hell but has been repressing it for a long time, demi-girl (also repressed)

Charlie is so fucking gay and he loves his tall and emotional s/o Scarecrow sm

Ellen, Livane, and Suzette all have ptsd. Keats has autism. Ellen has depression. Scarecrow has ADHD and abandonment disorders
