Can you break LQ out of cage and have us anons and voices beat the heck out of narrator(and opportunist?)

The Opportunist used his opportunity to ran away while the Narrator got beat up

Do you have a plan for what happens when the beasts/virtues meet their other halves again, like when the ancients are back in their original time?

For Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla, a vague idea was made when we started the rp, but I won’t say anything for certain. That will develop with the rp. All I will say is Shadow Milk is even more desperate for Pure Vanilla when he realizes he is his crush he thought he accidentally killed.

For the rest, it differs slightly from canon and each other.

If you saw those fake Chinese (I think that was the language) leaks, Mystic Flour absolutely wants to take Dark Cacao as a trophy after she forces him to accept apathy. Then he will be the only person at her side when all others are returned to flour. Maybe Dark Choco and Cloud Haetae will be spared in her grand plan. Even in her apathetic guise, she does still care for some people and she could not destroy the child that appears so much like her love and fell to corruption just as she did, nor her loyal dog-child.

Without deciding if the Beasts could see out of the soul jam and he learns that way. Burning Spice finds out the merchant cookie who confessed to him and disappeared holds the other half of his soul jam. Or not. I can see both ideas being fun. Him not realizing the two, his crush and soul jam thief are one and the same until after he rips her wings. Or him very aware they are and thinking she is just as durable as he was with the soul jam rips them off thinking she could simply regrow them. Either way he is going to have a lot to make up for.

Eternal Sugar is cleaning the garden area she made specially for Hollyberry and where she planned to confess the depths of her feelings. She is more desperate for her to stay giving the last time she let her nervousness and sensibilities win out. When she summons the hollyberrians, she tries to get Pavlova, the Eros to her Aphrodite, to interact with Royalberry and his family. She wants both sides of their families to get along after all. This might make Pavlova to actually join the escape hoping Eternal Sugar will accept it as he staying with his future step-family.

Silent Salt is a mystery to me. There is a reason I spoke little of any interactions between them and White Lily. I want to wait still we have actual confirmed interactions. All I can say is that they is very confused about Dark Enchantress and her minions. She is a part of their love, but she and White Lily the soul jam holder are very much separate as of now.

I think one theory I saw once, regarding greens impressing men and golds not, is that dragonets WILL impress someone, because otherwise they'll die, so what happened was as Pern Society decided that fighting dragons shouldn't be flown by women, they stopped putting women in front of green eggs, so the green dragonets had to go "guess these boys are good enough" or die. Meanwhile, no such restrictions were placed before Golds, who had the nice feminine job of laying eggs, so they never had to make a choice.

Essentially, Girl Dragons impress Girl Humans, Boy Dragons impress Boy Humans. If there's none of the ideal sex present, the dragon will go "fuck it" and pick the other one, but only if they have to. Greens had to, Golds didn't.

i hear it. yeah, i agree, i think that's about how it happened, but i'll be real i think we can keep asking questions about that process.

why did they decided women shouldn't fight. why don't greens fight for the galleries, looking for the girls up there before the boys on the sands. why don't more greens just die if they're personally incapable of settling for a boy. why doesn't the very occasional bronze, brown, or blue (just like greens are supposedly able to get set up with a boy) by random happenstance think one of the goldbait girls is perfect. what exactly is a girl. what exactly is a fighting dragon. how does a dragon know what a girl is.

all of these have fascinating implications if you follow the rabbit hole!!

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

Interesting question…I’m kinda open to the popular ships in the fandom? The ones I can think of being PiperxCyclonis and PiperxAerrow. Like they’re cute, so I have no issue.

I don’t know if it’s a popular ship but RavessxAce is one I can’t get behind I guess. Or actually most Ace ships for that matter. I feel like Ace needs a very particular person to date and there just aren’t really any in canon. He needs someone he can respect, someone who matches his level of intelligence and skill.

I feel like Ace wants to be in a power couple, he wants someone who makes him look and feel good because he’s The Dark Ace, he has a reputation to uphold and most people don’t fit that.

Hope that answers your question!

Hiiiii ^_^

I don't have a mouse plushy :(

Closest thing is shammy shery, a sheep-dog fusion. They are a medic and they love to frolic in the tall grass fields in their free time. Knows a lot about medicinal herms and loves helping people :]

just a quick question— I saw that one drawing you did with Stan sitting on Kenny's shoulders while kissing Kyle from a windows and I REALLY want to redraw it, is it cool if I do and post it?? I would give you original credit but I wanted to do it with my headcannons for the characters!

Of course! the fact a random piece of art inspired others to draw makes me so happy! make sure to tag me so i can see it :D 🩷🩷

[choirgamerfangirl]

Hello! Curtis (my Narrator) and I have stopped here on your blog for our tour! We wanted to thank you for being such an amazing person and to say how amazing your art is. We brought some candy too!

Dust thou except?

Oh! Thank you! I gladly accept the candy, but I do hope you can go check out my friends Narrator's too. I seen that you liked my reblogs from my friends as well. Definitely go check them out!

I'll go ahead and tag here so you can see them!

@peripalz @sketchygoober @troolyart @lilydoesdrawsometimes @chaos-theoryyy @bucketfullofstrawberries

Theres so many more you can see! Thank you again for the kind words.

What would you say your opinions of each of the team where when you first arrived on the condor? How do they differ now that you’ve gotten to know them?

Very good question! Hope the answer’s not too long.

If you didn’t already know, I was actually Cyclonian when I first met the team. I grew up being told to hate all those that opposed Cyclonia, so you can imagine what my opinions were.

I hated everyone XD though truthfully I hated that I was forced to be with them. Long story short, The Storm Hawks were supposed to make me “good” so I could help them in the war.

I didn’t want to be good, I just wanted to be back home. But eventually, they showed me home is where you make it.

Finn’s my best friend, I never thought we’d be so similar.

Piper’s like a sister I never had.

Junko’s a great friend and I’m happy he’s always there to listen to me.

Stork’s wacky but we have fun. He’s the only one who understands my darker interests ;3

Radarr’s the best snuggle buddy.

And Aerrow’s…surprised me the most lol. Never in a million years did I think I’d be dating a Sky Knight.

I liked this question a lot! It’s fun thinking about what makes life special.

How much do you like guys out of 10

10 out of 10. I also find gals and non-binary pals a 10 out of 10 as well

[saelrum]

Could you draw Emily of Hazbin Hotel?

Sure!

[drabbles-about-crk]

HAIII ITS ME YAPPER !!! I LOVE THIS AU SM I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS I WANNA ASK I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND!

First is that do that when the Ancients go back to the present do they remember their time with the Virtues? Or will the witches/Souljams do an asshole move and make them forget them. But if they do still remember, do the Ancients recognize the Virtues now Beasts in the present time? Obviously some wouldn't really recognize easily cause of the new forms, but I'd think Dark Cacao, Golden Cheese, and Hollyberry would have a sense of familiarity when first seeing their old friends, and if they do recognize them, will the Ancients refuse to fight? Or at least try to cuz they still pose a threat? If the events of canon still happen with some difference, would they all pull the same shit which is like "Join me, this isn't you and I know it." Kinda thing?

And (the possibility that they still remember their time w the Virtues) once they do defeat them, what will they think after that? Lots of empathy right? Conflicted thoughts, maybe. Especially since they have to pick up pieces from before receiving their Souljams from them and after and the time searching for the Virtues, but since time passed, to the Ancients it seemed like the world deemed them as never existing which hurts them, but they now meet them again as broken souls, and they pick up hints that there was some sort of time shinnanigans happened cause the Beasts kept on hinting how long they've been stuck in a tree and been look for them (the ancients).

And by connecting from that, Shamil would make sure that Pure Vanilla stays with him forever, cause of Shamil realizing that PV is his old crush back then, but if PV knew who Shamil was, would PV say something about it? Cause if we're following what happens in canon would that mean PV allowed himself to become Truthless Recluse just so he can understand Shamil's pain better? And once he awakens (I assume they do!) PV would have made a well thought out speech to Shamil, and probably having SLIGHTLY a better chance at him succeeding on being friends. (But obviously this would hurt Shamil more cuz he did deceive him and also he has romantic feelings for PV so it would've DEFO hurt a lot...)

And a small question for Etsuga's plans, would she brainwash the Hollyberrians like in canon when the teleport her to her garden or do they let her have their free spirited mind in the garden, when they talk to Pavlova? (I assume the second option right?) And despite everything she did for Hollyberry, I'd assume that when Hollyberry wanted to leave she had a much bigger breakdown than in canon :((

They keep their memories however given the absurdity of going back in time, they question how real it was. Also, with the Virtues kinda being erased from history outside of BeastYeast, they can’t really confirm it. In addition, a few didn’t realize they were in the past (Golden, maybe Holly) or knew they were talking to a Virtue (Golden, Pure, kind of Cacao). So yeah… they remember.

In terms of recognizing the beast version, that varies.

3. Shadow Milk’s whole memory manipulation and shapeshifting causes Pure Vanilla to not believe the person he met in the past (who talked about Fount as a different person) is the Fount and Shadow Milk by proxy.

2. Golden Cheese sees the resemblance and assumes she was crushing on the original owners son/creation.

1. Dark Cacao recognizes her as Granter but does not know she and the priestess disguise are two people.

5. White Lily learn this throw Elder Faerie who told her about the Beast being the Virtues (she learns during her stalking the Knight is a Virtue.)

4. Hollyberry knew she was a Virtue and knew what she looked and acted like. This corrupted version is so similar yet different.

There desire to fight is still there.

4. Hollyberry kinda wants to just hug Eternal but she also hurt the garden residents and has put Holly’s people in danger. Thus, she has to try to talk with Eternal though mist stuff follows canon’s major strokes in regards to interactions between them

2. Golden at first is even more angry thinking Burning Spice killed her crush or did not care about it. Overall, even when she realizes they are one in the same, canon still happens with a few adjustments like Spice talking about keeping her caged and how she should prove her worth as she once claimed, but by the end she realizes the truth and warns him that he is no longer worthy of her. Now the roles are reversed so he should earn her queenly hand.

3. Pure Vanilla doesn’t realize until really late in the game and is basically his canon self. Shadow Milk thinks PV forgot about their past interactions (insanity and clouded memories make him forget about the disguised thing for a while and by the time Shmilk remembers the disguise PV cannot trust his words. His Recluse self basically rejects the idea outright and is very antagonistic about Shmilk trying to ‘pretend’ to be that friend.

1. Dark Cacao is guilted with the backstory realizing his part in the situation but he is a king. He needs to save his citizens, so he lives with the guilt of needing to defeat her just as he does with him fighting and injuring his son. He is more sad knowing the priestess he befriended died and when he learns they were one and the same…. That leaves him more depressed and confused.

5. Can’t say much for White Lily without the update. She definitely projects the guilt of her own past and how she does think she deserves forgiveness on Silent Salt.

Actually for the ShadowVanilla end scene, the major idea is this: Pure Vanilla kind of finishes the wedding/binding ritual Shadow Milk tried to make before he disappeared in the past. Him stating they are meant to be together triggers his side of the binding to be complete. Now, they are doubly bond; Shadow Milk is both over the moon that they are finally wed and devastated his plan failed. The honeymoon period is wild.

Most would be utterly brainwashed, but the royal family would not be. They most likely are to the same extent Hollyberry was as in they overlook weird details but otherwise very conscious. Also, yes, her breakdown is worse with Hollyberry leaving and the aftermath is sadder with her kind-of son Pavlova leaving after aging up with the excuse to ‘convince’ them to come back.

i've been wanting to get into pern rp, do you have any tips/suggestions?

hey sorry for the late response, for some reason tumblr forgot to tell me

thank you for this ask!! i would love to answet it fully and completely but it would be a very long answer!! basically a breakdown of how to scope out an rp that will fit you.

here are some broad based ideas to get you started as you shop for an rp:

check activity. find an rp that aligns eith your preferred activity level -- if you want to perfect every post and trade replies weekly, look for evidence of that, if you want daily replies, look for that

check recently approved characters to see if they match the vibe you want -- a lot of times the lore doesn't match the vibe of the site, so something can look really cool based on the lore but actually have become a different vibe over time

pern rp particularly has a pretty bad time with staffing all of their ranker-players. if eventually attaining a ranking/leadership/plot relevant character is your thing, look for evidence that the admin team does that (evidence, not them sayimg so in the rules)

here's some things i do that may not work for you:

i don't bother to read the rules until i've basically made up my mind if i'm going to try to play there. i go for the dragon info page (and wher page if the site does whers) and read through the description of the canon and special colors. are greens forced/expected to be stupid sluts? are bronzes forced to be noble knightly chads? biiig pass. the way these pages are written can give you a great idea about how flexible and story-oriented the site intends to be. i lean hard either "let me do anything" or "make the restrictions interesting" so ymmv

for jcink rps: go to the bottom of the site, get "today's active topics" and change it to see the past month. pay special attention to who is active in the rp. look at their characters. see if the vibe is right for you

check out the adopts!!! mega points if the admins are cleatly trying to get people to enter leadership positions. big demerits if there is some kind of ban on newbies having leadership. (buying rankers can be neutral or bad, it depends on the site)

for getting into pern rps specifically:

for this purpose i'm going to assume you, nonnie, are somewhat familiar with the books and at least passingly familiar with the art and commentary in the pern tag here on tumblr. i assume you like the books?

it is very important to remember that if the site you are looking at is up front in praising the books, says they really love them, etc., this is a BAD SIGN.

pern rp fandom is (maybe a little bit uniquely?) in an argument with canon, not in conversation with it. there are so many aspects of canon that just suck in an rp setting (ex. lifetime appointment of the senior weyrwoman, meaning the only way to shake that up is for her to die, everything about flights) that even the most canon weyr has yo make concessions to make it playable/comfortable in a group setting.

so if a site up front is like "we're canon. not like those other sites. we actually care about the lore." this is actually a dogwhistle for blatant transphobia, homophobia, favoritism, and really shit moderation. likewise, a tone of anger or vitriol towards more canon-leaning sites is a red flag, they tend also to have extremely narrow views on what the "right" way to play is.

the best way to play a pern game is to take the books as a framework, like baking a cake, that's your flour and egg, you're getting the structure from there but your cake isn't going to taste good unless you get a site willing to spice it up with its little extras and go to the effort of putting some basic butter and baking soda in there to fluff it up. pern in the novels does not work as an open, public rp, it's not a recipe for cake, so everyone adjusts it, the people who say they don't are Lying.

anyway

suggestions

i don't feel comfortable recommending an rp for you nonnie without knowing what you're most interested in. i have heard that at least one site is just starting up so that could be a great place to start.

i'm in the middle of making a site but it's not ready yet

@ followers, kindly recommend your rp spots for nonnie! (don't just drop the ad, give them a feel for the rp. don't leave out the rough bits either, we all know every site has them)

[stormseclipse]

Whats your favorite part about the Storm Hawks fandom in general?

Great question! I like how creative it’s always been. People have been making ocs and writing stories since the beginning and it’s nice to see it’s only picked up since then. We’re a small fandom but that makes it cozy :3

[mastemamothpriest]

oooh 🧸

Gamiguri is your assigned plush! A bat-cat-mochi. Coming all the way from Asia (the manga store) and wearing their most fancy attire (a hair bow I was gifted), Gamiguri flies in as a mischievous neutral party! Loves playing pranks on others and gets away with it due to being so cute.

[sleepykoi]

Not an art request, but just curious: thoughts on mabcifica (Mabel/Pacifica)?

Not rlly my fav. I certainly dont hate it, but i just view them as really good friends, they view themselves as sisters even.

but the ship itself doesnt rlly bother me! i cant see myself ever drawing it, but it certainly is better than some other gf ships

so uhhh yeah 5/10 for me lol
