Update

I want to start off by apologizing for abandoning the two fanfics I have going at the moment. I haven't abandoned them completely, I have a plot line thought out and I'm in the works of writing another chapter for both of them!

As I'm sure many of you can understand, sometimes real life just gets in the way. As it is, by the 3rd of May I have to have around 9k words written for a uni essay and then another 6k by the 10th so I'm a little overwhelmed with writing!

But fear not, I will return! Soon! And when I do, oh boy, you're all in for a lot of chapters, a lot of twists and turns, a lot of long speeches and banterous interactions.

Thank you all for your support so far, this fandom is amazing. ❤️

I loved Harmony in Hell chapter 1 and I can’t wait for the next one! :)

Ah thank you so much! Honestly it means a lot when someone likes my work! I hope to have another chapter up soon but, long story short, I'm in my last year of uni and have a lot of deadlines in the next two weeks, thus the delay. Fingers crossed, the next chapter should be up next Friday if not then it'll be the Friday after that! ❤️

Sorry, I'm still a bit new to tumblr, so not sure how to message, and a little bit of both if possible, please.

You're fine, no need to apologise! I'll get straight onto working on something and tag you when the first Chapter is up 😁

Howdy, I've been on Tumblr for a while and was wondering if there were any writers on this site that could do a request? If you can do it I shall be happy. I was wondering if it was possible to have a Deputy x Seed or Reader X Seed where the Deputy/Reader has anger problems and was abused by their father. Constantly scared when they loose their temper or have a argument, scared that their anger will make them like their father.

Hey there! First of all, thanks for sending in a request, I'm more than happy to tackle the idea and give it a go! Secondly, is there any particular Seed you'd like the reader to be shipped with? Or one that you'd like it to focus on most? Or do you want a little of each?

Far Cry New Dawn

So I just finished New Dawn for the first time and I gotta say... I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun game, the ability to upgrade the home base was great and the plot was well done. But playing £40 for a what is essentially a dlc number of missions is a little spiteful. You got more missions just in one region of the map on Far Cry 5 than you do in New Dawn. I would have liked to have seen a lot more from the new characters like Gina, Bean and all the other specialists that you recruit for Prosperity but instead they were just pushed aside.

The game was visually beautiful and I loved the ending (although the boss fight was a little weak) but the game had so much more potential. Hopefully we get a couple of dlcs for it at some point to continue the story a little!

Harmony in Hell (Chapter 1)

Synopsis: You're a musician, chasing your dreams, when your younger sister decides to join a cult. What lengths will you go to in order to protect her? Could you kill for her? (Joseph X reader, female pov, warning in advance for smut in later chapters)

Warnings: None for this chapter

.

.

Clearing your throat, you spoke into the microphone in the small bar, trying to keep the nervousness from your voice. "This is a song by a British band who've meant so much to me for so long... It's called Four Winds and it's by the Levellers"

You quickly tugged a few of your guitar strings just to double check they were in tune before you began to play.

"Summer came round early this year, and winter swung around soon after. The scent of spring was high with fear, the autumn crows call disaster" You sung, eyes closed in concentration. Your face was a picture of pure angelic innocence, your hair curled but tied up, a few stray strands framing your face perfectly. It had been a few weeks since you first stepped foot into Hope County, a place where you'd quickly learned that people were divided. Your sister had already joined Eden's Gate. She seemed happy enough but you couldn't help having your suspicions about them. When Mary May had asked, seeing your guitar that was almost always strapped to your back, for you to play for the bar one night, you couldn't resist. It was a welcome break from watching your sister from afar.

"Because the north wind blows so cold, chilling the warmth of my desire, and the whispered words we know, tell of a future burned with fire."

Unknown to you, you were being watched yourself. John had persuaded Joseph to join him at the bar that night, tucked away in the corner where they wouldn't draw attention to themselves. He'd seen you around the town many times now, seen the fire in your eyes and heard the conviction in your voice. Joseph had been searching for someone with a musical inclination to join them, to write the songs of Eden's Gate. It was early days for the Project, anything that could do to attract people to them would help.

"The music that now fills the street, falls to the rhythm of marching feet. I find no comfort here, not in this or any other year"

She has a beautiful voice, Joseph thought to himself as he sipped a glass of water. He couldn't draw his gaze away from you. Even though John was talking quietly beside him, it was as though his brothers words were a mere breeze of wind floating past. A beautiful voice to go with a beautiful mind. He found himself hanging on your every word as you repeated the chorus, each word seemed to match his own thoughts of what he could see happening to the world and of the visions of the future that filled his head.

"A stranger asked me what do you know and just where are you going? I told the truth, I just don't know. If you don't mind, I'll just keep going."

The song meant so much to you now. Although your sister was blind to a lot of Eden's Gates activities, you'd seen them firsthand. Seen how they gathered members. Seen how the more physically strong amongst them were beginning to be trained, to protect and destroy. There was a thin layer of tension floating above Hope County, a layer that would shatter any day now into full bloodshed. You repeated the chorus one last time before you fell silent, finishing the song. Once you'd stopped playing, there were a few claps from the people in the small, dark bar. Maybe something happier would have been a better choice. But as your gaze scanned the crowd, you locked eyes with Joseph. Oh. Hello. He was more attractive than youd imagined he would have been. Less pretty than John and less rugged than Jacob but there was something about him, a classic and casual elegance that you couldn't help but admire. Even in his current state, sitting silently, it was as if he was commanding the room. You gave him a small smile. He returned it before he leaned into John, whispering into his ear.

"Bring her to Eden's Gate. She will be our muse and we will be hers."

Song credit goes to The Levellers! Check them out on Spotify if you want to listen to the song, they're a band I adore and I was so happy to be able to include them in some writing!

Thank you @avatamriel for suggesting Joseph X female reader, I hope you liked the intro and will enjoy the series!

The Wolf and the Deer (Chapter 2)

Warnings: Swearing

"Ah, hello? Anyone there? I saw ya go into the cabin, thought ya might need some help? M'names Hurk Jr..." You paused your searching for a way to talk back, listening cautiously, "The Monkey King says we gotta help people who need it and ya look like ya need help real bad... Im gonna come down and I can help ya get to my dads house, he's real good at patching people up. Please don't shoot me when I get there cause that wouldn't be very nice."

The man had a kind voice. A little dim sounding really, but kind, the type of person you'd be happy to see right now. While you waited, you began to search the cabin for anything that might be useful, not finding much at all. A little money, some old magazines, some ammo but no guns. A letter was pinned to the bedroom wall though, catching your attention.

"Jess,

Jacobs men are getting closer, I can hear those damn wolves of theirs. He's probably still mad that I killed some of his Judges, things had it coming though, it isn't right what they're using those wolves to do to people. Isn't fair to people or the animals. Better to put them all out of their misery.

I'm gonna make a run for it. I heard there's a jail down south where some people are resisting faith. If I get there, I'll be one step closer to the border and getting out of here.

I'm sorry. I'll miss you but I promise I'll come back, one day. Or you can come find me when you've dealt with Cook. But I gotta do what's right for Peyton, she deserves better than growing up here without either of us.

Love always,

Isabella"

Your mind began to wander then; how bad were things here that someone was scared for their lives? And Jacob... That had to be Jacob Seed. Brother of Joseph Seed. Eden's Gate. What the fuck had your boss gotten you into?

Your vision began to blur, causing you to sit down on the bed. Damn, not now, you were so close to getting help. You could see headlights in the distance. It had to be Hank. Or was it Hulk? Your brain was too foggy to even remember the man's name, much less go and move the table so he could get in.

As everything went black, you heard the window break and a voice.

"Miss.... Miss you okay?"

....

....

....

When you woke, you were still in a bed. Only it wasn't the same bed that you'd passed out in, this one was softer and cleaner. Sitting up, you looked around, blinking as the sunlight hit your eyes. It was a little difficult to stand but someone had fixed your leg up, you were still in the same clothes from the day before which was reassuring.

Slowly, you made your way downstairs and outside. The warm sun felt good on your skin and it brought a small smile to your face. Maybe this wasn't all bad. The air in Montana was a lot cleaner than anything you were used to back home and it was impossible to deny how beautiful the view was of Hope County from the mountains.

A hand on your shoulder brought you back to reality.

"Morning, miss. I'm Hurk Drubman Sr. My son brought you to me last night. Looks like you were in a pretty bad state, Jacobs men hit ya?"

Turning to face him, you replied with a nod. "I think so. Honestly I'm not sure who they were, everything happened so fast. Thank you for helping me. But... Who is Jacob? What's his deal?"

Guiding and supporting you with a hand on your lower back, Hurk Sr let out a small chuckle as he helped you sit down in a camping chair that was set up on his porch.

"Jacob... I'll happily tell you all about him and that awful family of his. What they've taken from us in Joseph's name. Settle in, missy, this is gonna be a long story..."

You know, it occurs to me that Judge isn’t just some blank persona that Deputy has taken on; it a combination of traits from all the Seed siblings.

I remember reading that when you activate Judge as a Gun For Hire, they appear from out of nowhere in a cloud of fog.  I think maybe that’s a nod to Faith and how she used to appear in a cloud of Bliss fog.

Their whole appearance is a nod to Jacob’s Hunters, not to mention the choice of name- ‘Judge’- is also another nod to him.  Joseph has probably told Judge/ Dep to test those that wish to find him and judge their worthiness.  Trials, anyone?

Then there is their whole role as a Judge, judging sinners and probably (?) helping them reach the atonement, likely not through any gentle or passive means.  Sounds a little like John, don’t you think?

To round it off, to sum up this short character analysis of a person who is made up of the traits of many, think of the only time we see the Seed Siblings together.  Its right at the beginning of Far Cry 5 and what are they doing?  Standing silently at Joseph’s back in shadow.  What have we been told about Judge?  That they are silent and always at Joseph’s back; that they are his shadow.  Might be reading too much into things, but it was fun to think about.

Edit: Wow, this blew up.  Also, forgot to tag @nick-rye-the-pilot-guy and @theeonlyroman

John: Say 'Yes' and you will-

Me: Yes.

John: Wait, I have a whole thing I have to say.

Me: Go ahead, but you had me the second I saw shirtless Jesus.

John: *Stares blankly*

Me: And when he said he was 'The Father', you know I have a Daddy kink so...

John:*pinches the bridge of his nose* I can't- I can't do this anymore. *Leaves*

Me: Wait, is there like a Mrs.The Father or-

@sleepydaydreamz Okay but has this been done yet? 😂

[pandorasboxofmuses-blog]

Yes please, I need this!

Okay but what if-

-Even in New Dawn, that borderline supernatural influence each herald had over their regions still lingers even after 17 years

You’re in Holland Valley and as the wind blows it almost sounds like the soft whisper of “Yes”

You’re in the Henbane River region and you get bliss hallucinations. You hear giggling or a soft, familiar voice singing the lyrics to “Oh The Bliss” as you pass through the fields of flowers, or see twinkling lights in your field of vision.

You’re in the Whitetail Mountains and occasionally you can hear the just-barely-audible tune of “Only You” playing in the distance, but there’s no source you can find.

These kinds of of small details paying homage to the heralds should be in the game.
