#You take a cowboy and a wizard and you get a ...oh.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

The most dangerous duel of all.

[roobgumball95]

im sorry but literally nothing is more ridiculous than thrawn. and like his entire fucking life. his sister is a space wizard at age 5 (he never sees her again ✌️). he meets anakin fucking skywalker pre-emo era (????) and instantly is like “ok so u&padme right?”. yeah. he is EXILED. from his ENTIRE GALAXY. and the exile is NOT ACTUALLY EXILE. (???????). he meets a space cowboy and is like “you must be a spy. also youre mine now” and said cowboy just has to fucking take it because for some reason thrawn usurps the entire chain of command and meets the literal EMPEROR ~5 days after being FOUND randomly this galaxy. then he’s a superest senior to ever exist oh and also he’s just like the Only One Of His Species. That Anyone In This Entire Fucking Galaxy Has Ever Met. Okay. then he climbs up the chain of command until he’s literally a FLEET ADMIRAL and he has even more space wizards around him (vader, morgan elsbeth, kanan, ezra, ahsoka). he also fucking hates the most iconic part of the entire empire (the death star) and downvotes it every chance he gets. OH AND, THIS ENTIRE TIME HE HAS NO IDEA HOW POLITICS WORK. HE GETS BESTED BY A 17YO W A SHAVED HEAD (#basictraining #thumbera #headstubble) AND IS SENT THROUGH SPACE AT LIGHTSPEED VIA SPACE WHALE. AND FINDS MORE SPACE WIZARDS.

What im hearing is:

Little crow feet outside my window bcs im feeding them- that’s besides the point!

Is there magic??? His shovel looks magic and they look magic

And do give me every detail you are thinking of for the series even if its in the distant future or not that relevant but you want to share

Crows!! Cute!! Also sorry i didnt get to this sooner my laptop BROKE (still broken but usable) and my mom and i have been looking for someone to fix it. Ive been drawing with it sparingly to be careful.

YES there is magic. Of course im still working on this storywise but im getting characters designs n whatnot done right now. Dynamics n stuff. BUT i do have some refs i made before my laptop broke.

I like to draw out certain stuff so that it helps with descriptions in the future; i have the worst memory so it helps to be able to do so. (More beneath cut)

Im so excited for moon's shadow form. Oh my god. Its probably my favorite thing right now.

Fun thing about it is that in this form he can touch you but you cant touch him. Something something you can be cast in shadow but you cant take it off yk? He's still light sensitive like this though, so if the area hes in isn't dark enough or he's hit with anything too bright he just reverts back. At that point he'd just have to rely on normal hand to hand stuff and his sand lol. The shadow form is just better for sneaking and speed. Really, he's some amalgamative idea of the sandman and boogieman. I thought it fit well with his whole "naptime attendant gone wrong" thing.

Sun's design, however, is more like if you mixed a cowboy, wizard, and gravedigger together. I made it a while ago on a whim with no intention behind it but then i ended up thinking "ykw would be so awesome".

The hat dips to cover the crescent side of his face (not intentional on his part) to symbolize his resentment towards moon and how he basically damned him to an hourglass. His eyes are easier to see bc of this which could seem more trusting (eyes are the window to the soul or whatever), but the thing is thats not normal for him (as we know) so it's meant to make him look suspicious and looming to 4th wall viewers. There's also the fact that i just thought it was cool too.

He also doesn't get a second form. Moon's sneaky and weird so i thought it would fit to give him some freaky thing iykwim. Sun, however, is a pretty "in your face" kinda guy, so his look and fight style is more extravagant and boisterous. Lots of swinging amd yelling and boom bang zap! Despite the showiness he's actually a longer range fighter. Mainly because unlike moon, thousands of years ago, he wasn't often one to get violent with his hands. His weapon is just obnoxiously large too though.

They are still one animatronic and their transformation is still triggered by light. Instead of an AI chip though (which is still in there but long dead), they live through the work of a soul. They're still physically inorganic but as far as spiritually they're as close as they're gonna get to being human. Their life and functionailty is derived from the magic itself, not the machinery. Like if for some reason they lost all their magic they'd just drop dead from a battery life long since drained.

The hourglass has a carousel-like design to it purely as reference to moon's level in Help Wanted 2.

Sorry for rambling so much but this is what i've got for you so far! I have a general idea for the plot but im tryna to make it more than what it is rn, so i dont wanna share too much of that just yet in case i change or completely toss away an idea.

jjk manga ends in 30 days which means i'm gonna nap on the highway after that last chapter drops :muscle:

[yuurivoice]

THE big man,, the man who I constantly stalk because I’m thirsty for content, Mr. YuuriVoice,,, I gotta say…you are a master at making stories.

So I gotta ask, what kind of media did (or do) you also stalk/watch and gain your inspiration from?

I gotta know what kinda shit they be feeding you because OH MY LORD you got me tweaking (I’ve watched the most recent Lost & Found episode at least five times this week.)

Aw, thank you so much!

So, I'll try and go by eras of my life because I think they've all played a part in getting me to where I'm at. This is by no means a comprehensive list of all of my key inspirations, but definitely what has touched me and got me to where I am today.

Pre-Teens

A variety of fantasy books I've lost recollection of (RIP)

That one wizard book series I don't talk about anymore

Lord of the Rings via the films (pops insisted I read the Hobbit first, I wasn't into it, I found the writing wasn't really my vibe)

Batman the Animated Series (and various other Saturday morning cartoons tbh)

A variety of male-centric films, the two standouts being Gladiator and Tombstone. Also the Austin Power movies definitely aided my crude humor lmfao.

The Matrix!!!!

Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX

Assorted JRPGs, shoutout to the Suikoden I & II remaster I need to get my hands on!

Teens

aka my Hello Japan (and Trauma) era

Evangelion

Outlaw Star

Cowboy Bebop

Basically the entire Toonami block tbh let's be real

Princess Mononoke

Star Wars KOTOR

Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2

Steep decline in reading, save for that Wizard fuck.

Young Adulthood

aka Loveless Marriage + Where Did My Early 20's Go?

Fullmetal Alchemist (OG and Brotherhood)

Dragon Age

Mass Effect

Black Butler

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

Dexter (the serial killer, although I fuck with the boy genius as well)

Several years are fuzzy, I couldn't tell you if I digested anything else meaningful or inspirational until...

Adulthood

aka I woke up and started living again, the pre-YuuriVoice era

Game of Thrones

Breaking Bad (and eventually Better Call Saul)

Mob Psycho 100

Berserk

Various Studio Ghibli films

Tarantino movies

?????? similarly fuzzy but more to draw upon

Yuri On Ice

This was a fun exercise, and unfortunately kind of a bummer because I realize how much of my life is tucked behind a veil I've put up. I am certain that there were more core inspirations throughout the years, but I've lost them to the abstract of my mind. There was a shift in my adulthood towards being much more cautious about the media I take in because I was very bitter that I had not begun to create. I'd see something cool that was similar to the dreams I had of worlds I never put to paper and it would hurt me.

Eventually I began to create in earnest and remained cautious because I didn't want to be influenced or driven in one direction or another. So I'm selective about what I take in nowadays, and if it feels a little too close to where I'm going, I pass on it.

I don't know where the desire to preserve my vision and style came from, aside from the insecurity of creative jealousy. Though I think I'm beyond that now, and it's more of a case of me being enamored of the idea of tapping into the well of ideas and stories within me without muddying the waters with outside influence.

Film has been a safe medium, and I believe that reading again will help me unlock things I've kept away from myself for a long time. So that's where I'm at today.

[clowntrickery08]

I for one would like to know more about your Wizard of Oz/Wicked(?) AU. (Also I think your art is fire! <3333)

Oh thank you very much nice to know that some people like my wicked Wizard of Oz AU. And to answer that question with the wicked? Yes the wicked is part of the AU. In my AU, the parts of the wicked story is also in the Wizard of Oz universe or my universe of Wizard of Oz. (And it would also have some parts of the. Legends of Oz. Because I love that movie so much.) The things that change a lot in my AU is the storyline and characters or redesigns of the characters

like first off Dorothy in this universe, she’s more of like a tomboy and shows more factors of being in the farm not like in the film version where she wears a dress. I take her more like to be a 12 and 11 year-old and I gave her short hair cause in the original book. Her personality would still be kind and caring, but also tough. She would be one of those kids who would get in a lot of trouble and don’t really think before they speak. And also the red ruby slippers or now cowboy ruby slippers. Why because I just really like cowboy boots

And the other characters like lion. I like to think he’s the second youngest to Dorothy, not as young as Dorothy, mostly being like in his 20s i’m still thinking about the timeline, I like to think the events that happened in wicked was a long long time ago, so what happened in the Wizard of Oz was like in the present tense what was happening now and with tin men or boq my favorite character in this AU would be more like heartless, but not heartless enough he still have a heart, but in the sense of insanity he would probably not give a shit anymore. I like to think after the Events of wicked and everything he’s been through and also being in the Chase in the run away from Nessa who still wants him back he would probably not give a crap so much anymore, and he would act more tougher and more stronger and more protective even more around Dorothy, who is a little girl that brings the father and daughter relationship

It scared crow wouldn’t change a lot. He would be the same old scarecrow, but I would bring the fact that he’s trying to help his ex lover and also has a father and daughter relationship with Dorothy, but I think he would act like he doesn’t have a brain, but he still has a brain to just protect Dorothy of what’s happening . He would be kinder and more smarter with his words and not be quite dancing through life.

I would explain more about my universe and my au of Wizard of Oz but I feel like if I did, we would be here for a long time so here I hope this answer your question. 🌟

[wenttotheairport]

get to know your mutuals!

tagged by @ballroomeddie 🙇‍♀️ this was so fun, thanks for tagging me!!

1. You get $100 to go thrift shopping. What are you buying and why?

clothes, purses, & funky glassware! i am a #fashionista and also #onabudget. i’m going for long skirts & men’s button downs, & leaving w a few skanky lil extras as a treat. i love purses & despite having a million of them, i am always hunting for more. i have a hodgepodge collection of thrifted martini glasses so i’d poke around to see if i could add to that. i also love a wildcard purchase—silk ties for a dollar a piece, vintage thimbles, decorative cameo plates depicting scenes from shakespeare... this is making me miss my favorite thrift store so much😭 why is it in another state😭

2. What's a song you could listen to dozens of times in a row and not get bored?

oh god there are so many. yesterday it was manchild by sabrina carpenter, day before that it was in california by joanna newsom, today it’s moanin’ by charles mingus. i go where the wind takes me truly!

3. What's a decade you really like music from?

70s!! incredible stuff happening in every genre. black sabbath & led zeppelin writing rock music about wizards, stevie wonder releasing hit after hit after hit, dolly parton’s jolene!!! jim croce!!! earth wind and fire!!! heart!!! joni mitchell!!! steely dan!!! & so many more that i can’t think of off the top of my head!!

4. What's your dream hair?

i would love to try dying my hair darker or cutting it short! but i have very little patience for styling/color maintenance, so i know i would instantly regret it :(

5. What's a chore you actually like doing that surprises people?

i can have fun doing almost any chore given the right circumstances (procrastinating doing something else, blasting music, having a lil afternoon 🍃 etc etc) but i’d probably say grocery shopping! i like the whole process. clearing out the fridge & writing out a list on an index card, checking all the clearance sections & examining the produce. i find it weirdly soothing.

6. Do you fidget? How, or with what?

ohhh yeah brother. i’m twisting hair ties around, taking bracelets off to play with, & fiddling with necklace charms like. almost constantly. if i’m not wearing jewelry, i’m using my finger to draw loop-de-loops on my leg or messing with a strand of hair.

7. Tell me about a current hyperfixation of yours.

right now i’m reading about the relationship btwn pirates & early colonialism! i was obsessed w pirates as a kid, so it’s been interesting to get a better sense of how piracy existed both outside of & within the legal systems of burgeoning empires. fascinating & disturbing on many levels!

8. What's your favourite animated movie or TV series?

i don’t watch a ton of animated stuff, but a friend got me very into dungeon meshi a couple years ago. love the manga, can’t wait to see how they adapt the rest of the anime!! i’ve also watched a few episodes of mob pyscho 100 & cowboy beebop with my brother that i really enjoyed.

& tho it’s not really a full animated series, shoutout to terry gilliam’s animated bits in monty python’s flying circus. such a weird, distinctive style, love it!

9. If you were forced to lose one of your five senses, which one would you choose?

man this is a tough one!! initial instinct is smell bc i don’t have a very keen sense of it anyways, but that would also impact taste… so i would actually just say taste so i could still smell the important stuff like flowers & herbs & fabuloso and then maybe find a way to enjoy eating based on texture.

10. What makes you feel put together? What makes you feel like you have your life in order? You know, that thing that makes you go, okay yeah no I got this.

clean hair 100%. the second that i wash my hair the world is my oyster! bonus points for a fun outfit & tidy house, but those are secondary.

Bonus question: For Star Wars fans, who is your favourite Jedi and why?

very casual fan, but i’m still gonna answer this one. yoda. he’s weird & funny & lives in a swamp!! i need to get wasted with him at a space cantina. i think we could drink a lot of neon blue liquor out of a fish bowl & then convince the band to let us jam out with them.

tagging: @thirdwheelravi @thatbuddie @celestielbeing @tanktopdiaz @809eddie & anyone who wants to participate!

Weasley Ranch

New au just dropped. Cowboy Weasley Au. Do they still have magic? Yes because wizard cowboys. And my cancer doctor unit care appointment is tomorrow so I need to distract myself badly

William ‘Bill’

Would be the town historian/artifact collector type. Often would go hunting with Charlie as well. He’s going to be the guy you go to if you ever have a problem with anything at any hour at any time. Except the full moon. Ain’t no one allowed to mess with that man when the moon is full. Unless ya like to leave with a few new stories to a few new scars

Charlie

The horse wrangler. Never been a horse he couldn’t tame, because he doesn’t tame em. He respects them, and they respect him. Not a single breed he hasn’t been able to get on and ride. Your man, on the ranch, you go to for any horse related issues ever. Need a horse? Wondering why yours is sick? He’s got it all handle. He’s also got a few tricks up his sleeve for the other wild life liking folks

Percy

Town doctor. No doubt about it. He’s always patching people up. Making sure everyone is healthy, and properly caring for their wounds. Keeps mostly to his books, and had plenty of test subjects for his care. When you have five brothers, and a sister, on a ranch you learn a thing or two about medicine real fast. Especially when you grow your own herbs to begin with

Fred and George

They run the General Store. But they sure don’t run General things. If you know what you want, they’ll be sure to make sure you get what you want. Won’t be cheap, but they’ll have the highest quality around. The best gun powder, the best guns, oh they got it all. With candy for the kids, so you can go home with a slice of home

Ron

Grew up to be the towns Sheriff. Not like the last one was any good competition to begin with. He’s doing what he can to take care of everyone in the town. He’s doing more than what the plate has room to offer. He’s trustworthy, and if you have a problem he ain’t afraid to play bounty hunter for you

Ginny

She is still figuring out what she wants to do, in life, given all her brothers have some kind of successful job or another. Until then, she’s the best ranch hand you’ll ever damn see. Can ride a horse that can rival the likes of Charlie. Can shoot any target you give her, and lasso any bastard you need. She’s a jack of all trades. You’ll often see her helping teach the other girls some trades as well. Trying to make the world have a few more cowgirls to love

CHERUB ROCK 🪽🦇

Chapter three: Reptile boy pt. 1

<<prev. Masterlist. Next.>>

⚠️none I think xo angel 💕

You all sit in Buffy’s room watching a cheesy soap opera in Hindi. Xander braids willow’s hair in neat little plaids and Buffy puts butterfly clips in yours. He complains that he doesn't understand what is going on and doesn’t know why they're singing on the show. Willow tries to explain the confusing musical storylines with lovers, wizards, and a weird fish maypole thing.

“Hmm. And we thought just because we didn't have any money or anyplace to go this would be a lackluster evening.” Xander snarks.

“I know! We could go to the Bronze and sneak in our own tea bags and ask for hot water.” Willow smiles excitedly. you smile along with excited by her excitement.

“Hop off the outlaw train, Will, before you land us all in jail.” Xander says sarcastically

“I, for one, am giddy and up.” You pretend to tip a cowboy hat to him.

“Yeah besides theres a kinda hush all over Sunnydale. No demons or vampires to slay, I'm here with my friends…” Buffy tilts her head at the TV. “So, how does the water buffalo fit in again?”

The next day at school cordy catches you and starts talking about her new boyfriend. Richard is a couple years older than her and in the delta zeta kapa fraternity. She shows you he fake laugh that she saw in one of dr. Debi’s books. Cordelia explains her teachings on flirting.

“See? Dr. Debi says when a man is speaking you make serious eye contact, and you really, really listen, and you laugh at everything he says.” She starts fake laughing again.

You see the gang walking down the hallway. Buff and willow stop to get a drink by the water fountain right next to you and cordy

“There's really no comparison between college men and high school boys.” Cordelia looks Xander up and down. “I mean, look at that.”

Xander smiles sarcastically at her comment. “So, Cor, you're datin' college guys now.”

“Well, not that it's any of your business, but I happen to be dating a Delta Zeta Kappa.”

“Oh! An extra-terrestrial. So that's how you get a date after you exhausted all the human guys.” Xander jests proudly.

“You'll go to college someday, Xander. I just know your pizza delivery career will take you so many exciting places.” She snarks and walks away as Xander looks gobsmacked. You look over too the girls and they both have smirks. The school bell rings and Buffy has a look of realization spread across her face.

“Oh! I told Giles I'd meet him in the library ten minutes ago! Aw, he won't be upset. There hasn't been much paranormal activity lately.” She says as she runs of to the library

“Well we’ve got to head to geometry.” Willow says as Xander wraps his arms around the both of us.

“And where are you headed to my ‘friendly with Cordelia’ friend?”

“Xander I’m friendly with everyone.” You shrug “Lias just nervous about her new boyfriend and needed to talk to someone about it… and I’m heading to English we have a big lesson on Ralph Waldo Emerson today!”

Willow blushed “Emerson wow, he was quite the romantic.”

“Who’s Emerson?” Xander asks

“ He’s a poet from the 1800s, a lot of his work is about… love” you say adjusting your backpack.

“Ah you ladies and your dead guys” Xander sighs

You shake your head and you take his arm off your shoulder, giving his hand a little squeeze. “Ha-ha.” You said flatly. “I’ll see you guys later!” You wave off with a laugh.

“‘The love you withhold is the pain that you carry’” ms. Miller reads alouds the quote, walking back to her desk to put the book down. She never sits still for more than a minute at a time. You think to yourself that it must be a coping mechanism. She was attacked last year by an invisible girl and you don’t think she has gotten over her near death experience, you don’t blame her though. You have had your fair share of traumatizing experiences.

“Ms. L/N?” Your head snaps to her. “I know you have a particular fondness for this sort of stuff.” Ms. Miller smiles. “Can you tell me your interpretation of the quote please?”

You look down at your book embarrassed that she caught you not paying attention, but you look back up to her and explain your thoughts. “I think that some experiences we face can affect our day to day lives, how we treat each other and ourselves. If you had a bad experience talking to a classmate before, you might not be amped to talk to a classmate who’s being nice to you. You may not trust them because of said experience, but I think you should give everyone a chance, everyone is different and a bad experience with someone shouldn’t stop you from making a new friend.” You ramble

“Very good, Ms. L/N.” She turns to the class and explains her thoughts on the quote and gives us a writing assignment. The bell rings and you head to your locker to grab your things. You see Willow and Xander and jog to catch up with them.

“Boy, what a long day.” Xander sighs

“And you skipped 3 classes.” Willow chimes in.

“Yeah and of course, they flew by.” He waves off. You see Buffy sitting on the railing of the stairs and greet her.

Willow looks at her suspiciously. “Aren’t you supposed to be doing your homework in the library?”

Buffy sits up a little straighter. “I’m dawdling...” She slips her arm through xanders and leans her head back onto your chest “with my friends!”

“Works for me!” Xander says as Cordelia bumps into Willow and continues down the stairs without any acknowledgement.

“ Are you ok Will?” You ask and she nods with a jeez. You all watch Cordelia walk up to a black, darkly tinted bmw. The windows roll down to reveal who you are assuming is Richard, her new college boyfriend. Xander ignores her and starts talking about tonight’s potential plans. You’re a little confused when she looks back at you guys. She starts walking back up the stairs and grabs on to Buffy’s hand.

“Come on, Richard and his fraternity brother want to meet you.” She urges

“Well I don’t really want to meet any fraternity boys.” Buffy shrugs.

Cordy yanks her off the railing and drags her down the stairs. “Yeah and if there was a god, don’t you think he’d keep it that way?”

“Uh I-i believe we were dawdling here!” You hear Xander yell after her.

“Relax xan she’ll be ok” you comfort him. You all watch as Buffy talks to Richard and tries to walk away only to be followed by his friend, Tom. You hear him introduce himself. He’s a senior. You think that he’s way too old for her but then you think back to Angel who is way older than him so you forget the subject. Tom says something that makes Buffy smile.

“Uh huh. Right. Like she’s gonna fall for that. Xander says, crossing his arms. Buffy and Tom have a little back and forth small talk while xander stews in his own jealousy “She’s gonna walk away…now!”

Tom flicks his head over to Richard and Cordelia, who is fake laughing so loud you feel like the whole school can hear it.

“So uh, my friend invited your friend to a party we’re having this weekend.” He cringes and the sound of Cords laugh. “You know, actually he’s not even really my friend. I only joined the fraternity because my dad and grandfather were in it before me. It meant a lot to them.”

You see Giles booking it across the quad. You shiver when you see how mad he looks. He yells out to Buffy, points to his watch and huffs back to the library. She says goodbye to Tom, heads up the stairs, grabs her bag from Xander and heads to the library.

“I hate these guys.” Xander huffs. “Whatever they want just falls into their laps. Don’t you hate these guys?” He turns to you and willow.

“Yeah, with their charmed lives and their movie star good looks and more money than you can count? I'm hating.” Willow jokes

“And I will be hating at home.” You laugh. “I've got a pile of geometry homework to do. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” You wave while walking down the stairs. They both say goodbye and watch you head to your car and pull out of the parking lot.

At home you make your parents “breakfast” and your dinner. They work graveyard shifts at a laboratory so you don’t get to see much of them but they make a lot of money and they love what they do. You don’t know specifically what they’re job description is but they tell you it has to do with biochemistry. You say goodbye to them and sit down and watch some tv. Nothing of interest is really on so you settle on some British soap opera. The dramatic arguing is the last thing you hear as you fall asleep on the couch.

God of Cowboys and Fools - Chapter One

Well. No time like the present. “I am the King in Yellow, and you are now my slave,” I tell him, because that is the truth and we might as well get it done.

He is a god, awakened in the crater of his birth. Somewhere out there is the Wizard he needs to ensure his misplaced immortality.

Now, if only the Wizard would just do as he was told instead of fighting back, they could get on with the business of living forever.

----------------------

Chapter One

It’s a hard day to walk across a desert.

I didn't know about deserts. Well. Knew about them, but only as a concept—a memory of a memory, facts and figures. Not feelings. Not the actual fucking experience of walking across this arid, arrogant land that dares burn me, a god, as I traverse it.

Human bodies, I’ve decided, are walking pieces of shit.

Heat shimmers, screwing with my vision on top of everything else. Or maybe it’s the dehydration. Still, I think I see a place up ahead. I’m sure I do. I am right. I will it so.

Then I trip and fall—not for the first time—and land heavily on this hard-packed dirt, on the sharp little stones, and now, for the first time in my existence, the first time since I gained flesh and blood and a heart to pump it, I speak: “Fucking damn it! Gods damn… shit fucker… shit!”

My stupid human hands bleed.

Well. At least yelling made me feel better. I’m not sure about the reason for that, but I’ll take the relief.

Up, King. You are holy. You are important.

Yes, yes, I know. Shut up, voice. Whoever that voice is. Keeps trying to tell me where to go. Didn’t want me going this way. But it’s wrong. I have to. I feel him up ahead. The town (I will it to exist, not like some mirage) awaits my arrival. Ready or not, you fuckers, here I come.

#

It is a human town of modest means. Dust on everything, dust in the horse-water (Troughs, supplies the voice), dust on clothes and in hair and on skin. People move like they’re conserving energy—small steps, no wasted movement, eyes shaded against the cruel sun, and lips in tight and terrible lines.

Everyone notices me here.

Good. They damn well better. They may not know it yet, but their new god has come, and they will honor him.

Me. They will honor me. Damn this confusing language.

You’re doing fine, King, says the voice.

Fuck that guy. I don’t… remember that guy. The voice was there when I woke, was there to tell me of clothes and water and names of body parts, was there to say what happened at the end (and I don’t remember what happened, but his recollection feels wrong), and is just there now.

I don’t know why I don’t trust him, but I don’t. Still. I’ve done everything he says—except staying where I was. I couldn't do that. What I want wasn’t back there. It’s here.

A man in all black with a battered but polished star-shaped badge meets my gaze and holds it. His own eyes gleam under his wide-brimmed hat, and his expression seems wary.

I should blast him.

Don’t blast him, says the voice. Not yet, anyway.

Fine. I stare back, giving as good as I get (for which he should be grateful because he isn’t melting).

“Afternoon,” he says with a nod, touching the tip of his hat.

I can do that. “Afternoon,” I say back, returning the gesture.

“New in town?” says the guy.

Law enforcement, says the voice. Just play nice. You aren’t at full power yet, and a bullet would still hurt you.

“Yep,” I drawl, because he drawled, because this newly-woven brain absorbs knowledge at a rate I’m sure would terrify this simple human.

“Plannin’ on stayin’ long?” he says.

Careful.

Like I needed to be told. Stupid voice. “Depends on what I find,” I allow, drawling even harder (take that).

“Oh?” He tips his head back a little. This man moves smoothly; he’s older than I thought, his hair gray on the sides of his face, but his eyes are sharp, and his hands are steady. “What is it you’re looking for, stranger?”

“A man,” I say. “A very specific man. I know he's here.”

“Well, I might could help you out there, seein’ as I’m the sheriff of this town, and I know just about everybody,” he says, taking his damn time to say it, too, and pauses to spit some brown, nasty poison on the side of the road.

Chew, says the voice. Tobacco.

Ew! “Kind of a private guy. Travels. Big into nature, plants and animals, that sort of thing,” I say, drawling even slower. “Goes by the name… of Arthur Lester.”

The voice hisses in my head. That’s new.

The sheriff goes real still. That’s bad.

I keep myself real still, too. If he tries to shoot me, he won’t be too happy how it goes.

“You sure about that?” said this sheriff, low.

I wish you’d waited for me to come to you instead, says the voice.

Yeah, no. “I’m sure.”

“How’d you even…” The sheriff stops and shakes his head. “Fine. Fine. I’ll tell you where you can find him, friend: in Jack’s Bar.” He points down the way toward a saloon. Faint honkey-tonk music filters past the batwing doors, out of tune and atrocious, and I just know that place will smell.

Why would an immortal wizard be there? “You sure?”

“Oh, yeah.” The sheriff doesn’t hesitate. “Anybody asks you questions, you can say Dowd said you’re okay for now. For now, mind. No shootin’, no breakin’ shit, no ruining anything in my town, you hear me?”

Ruin? Ruin?

I could wreak havoc on this place. I could burn it down to ash, to embers and screams, I could roast their bones over the fires of their flesh, I could—

Laughter creeps out of the saloon. Fuck. They’re doing things without me. I never thought of that before. The world continuing, emotions soaring, all without my knowledge or permission.

“That’s quite the look on your face, friend,” says sheriff Dowd, and it’s not nearly as friendly a tone.

“I just want to talk to him,” I say, because it is completely true. “I don’t plan to stay here a minute longer than I have to.”

“That’s what I like to hear,” he says. “Off you go, now.”

Teeth clenched (what a weird feeling), I stalk toward Jack’s Bar.

#

It stinks, just like I thought it would.

Alcohol, vomit, and sex all linger here, just wisping past me like old smoke, and I briefly hate being in a human body. This weird form reacts to those things, like it wants to throw up, too, or something.

The men in here are sweaty. They wear suspenders, simple shirts, trousers of leather or linen, hats, and boots. The women wear voluminous dresses, cinched tight, that somehow manage to hide everything and reveal everything at once.

Fuck, this place smells like rotten teeth. Fuck.

It’s just for now, I remind myself. For now. Obviously, Arthur Lester has found a way to overcome this, or he wouldn’t be here. Fortunately for me, he’s easy to spot.

He’s so much better than all this fodder. Arthur Lester sits at the bar, leaning forward. His robe drapes his shoulders and falls in wide strips past his legs, just brushing his knee-high boots and held in place with his wide leather belt. There is no hat in sight.

I can tell by looking at him that he does not smell like the humans around him do. For one thing, his nails are perfectly clean. His hair—an indeterminate brassy color—is brushed back, neatly tied at the nape of his neck, and curls a little into the hood of his robe. He grips a mug of dark ale like a life-raft, staring into it and through it, like this is the only thing keeping him tied to this plane. His face and his eyes are red, like maybe he’s been crying. And all around him, warping the air, leeching color from floorboards, blurring the faces of anyone near him, is power.

Oh. Oh, this man. This is what I’m looking for. Right here.

My King, I could provide anything he could with significantly less trouble.

Whatever, voice. Shut it. I have my target now.

I approach him, unblinking. My stupid boots make noise, clunking and clonking. The leather of my vest creaks like some traitorous skin, and my poncho rustles. Even so, Arthur Lester doesn’t look up until I’m practically on top of him.

His eyes are solid blue, no pupil. Holy fuck. He’s blind?

“What?” he says, and something about the way he says it—the emphasized air in the wh, the crispness of the t—tells me that he speaks with an accent different from what I’ve so far heard. Fascinating.

Well. No time like the present. “I am the King in Yellow, and you are now my slave,” I tell him, because that is the truth and we might as well get it done.

Oh, for heaven’s sake! says the voice. Then the world explodes in fire and screaming, and the voice in my head is calling me names he absolutely should not.

[chapter two] [masterpost]

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

1: What "fictional place" would the duo act out when they play? Like medieval times with wizards & dragons, modern secret spy place (metal gear solid) or outer space defeating aliens. Etc

2: When playing cowboys (stand off), who gets shot first? Or since they are Star Wars fans, who's Han Solo & who's greedo? XD

3: What type of story and/or map(s) would you create for the duo, Jon & mar'i, in a COD zombie type game?

4: Who would be "uno" in a game of uno between the duo, mar'i, and the supersons?

5: You know how there is versus matches between popular characters for plot reasons (Batman vs Superman, Godzilla vs Kong etc) how would the duo get into a fight? Maybe mind control?

I would like to say thanks for answering my amazing questions for the past 9 months (wow, been that long). Really glad to see your universe improved (especially Chris and Jake)

For now, I’m going to stop (don’t worry I’m still around to chat and tag you in stuff XD) cause

1: kinda hard to ask what type of questions to say and remembering if I asked a question already

2: we kinda do chat about stuff almost everyday

Until I figure out more, see you later buddy! (Flies away on nimbus from dragon ball XD)

💙💜💙

Sorry if it took a long time to get this my friend @pin-crusher2000 but after much looking over and consideration, here shall be my answers ;-)

1) Oh too easy; either ancient Kryptonian and Tamaranean warriors from their history, fighting against their numerous enemies whether it be the Gordanians played by their plushies or even each other as a fair duel, so basically Space warriors OR As a Royal Prince and his Bodyguard Knight against demons and enemy knights like in a fantasy world akin to D&D

2) Chris = Han Solo

Jake = Greedo

and yes Han Blasts Greedo First

3) Okay So, the Kents and Graysons would find themselves waking up in a corrupted and twisted version of Bludhaven, swarming with hordes of the red eyed Undead, hellhounds, Demoniac Bats, and even Three Headed Canines (functionally the latter two are akin to the Parasites and Margwas). They have their superpowers albeit severely dampened and diminished to which they can only take down at most the zombies at the same time before they need to strike again.

The basic story is that before being sent here, the four were tipped on what was a summoning ritual by some cultists who were trying to summon Trigon, likely led by Brother Blood and while they prevent Trigon himself from coming out, the spell was corrupted and activated anyways so now it’s up to our heroes to gathered enough of their strength and find the source of these demonic Zombies in order to escape this Hell. Guiding them though would be one young voice; a girl who sounds no older than Mar’i but intelligent and willing to help them as they traverse this hellish city in exchange for also helping her, wherever she may be. This ancient evil beyond their imagination summoned by those cultists and their sins was invited and she concludes there’s far more to them than this…how their very world maybe even their multiverse itself is now in danger and they can stop it with her…..her name is Samantha, she’s going to tell them how all of this really began.

While not exactly Wonder Weapons in the traditionally sense, the Mystery Box would grant our heroes gauntlets, capes, headbands like what Chris and Mar’i wear and other accessories which do grant them enhanced powers that function like them. One gauntlet Jake can equip on his gloves can cause a chain reaction electric shock to the Zombies he punches a la the Wunderwaffe DG2. The map itself while a sprawling city with a central hub in the City Square with branching areas including the Dockyards, Downtown, the Suburbs, Bludhaven Stadium and the Pack A Punch location being Titans Tower, has numerous Kino/Der Riese style walkways, barriers and corridors allowing players to vary their play styles whether it be camping, training or going with the flow.

So yeah basically a combination of Mob of the Dead, Shadows of Evil and Maur der Toten with a tiny pinch of Origins

I shall dub this Map;

Jugend der Untoten (Youth of the Undead)

4) Mar’i; she trounces all of the boys without any fail but doesn’t cheat. Her secret is to always get rid of her cards that have the lowest number first

5) hmmm……

Christopher Kent, Nightwing Phantom VS Son Gohan

Jakand’r, Jacob Grayson, Skybird VS Bailey Briggs, The Amazing Spider Boy*

Oh I say maybe Inter-dimensional Tournament which puts their respective worlds at risk of destruction should they lose. Naturally all these combatants would ally to overturn the rules and save their worlds together as a team

(Yes he’s a real character ;-) )

Thanks for the asks again Buddy

💙💜💙

[beardedmrbean]

Oh take care of your father, I understand the delays

But I wanted to thank you for liking my magical black American wizards ideas I do as I want to show that not all black people have victim complex

Because that magical negeroes

“Oh yes black writers, who are willingly to live in one of the most expensive and godforsaken cities in America and work in one of the most corrupted industries on the planet. Please tell me how the average black person must act like a slave to mainly upper middle class white people given the trailer.”

Perhaps it explains in the trailer, but how the fuck we got magic but still subverted? Did we meddling with druids and witches or something?

Not to mention a lot of white people were confused who this movie was meant for as they mention they would be down for a black Harry Potter

Funny enough my magical America idea came from a Disney channel sitcom and cartoon that was to cash in on the HP phenomen

Ain’t that bitch

Also as you picked up, I would focus on the cultural divergence. Like the American druids in general created their own culture and they and the Irish ones see each other as “cousins” than say brothers

Also for native Americans wizards, I will do jokes that the native tribes will probably like

A American wizard: Oh shit this native monster is going to kill us! What should we do?!

Native wizard: I’m from ANOTHER tribe, we need to go to the one that dealt with this guy

AW: Oh…i thought you would know…

NW:…I’m from a Iroquois tribe, this freak from Washington

AW: Wait there other Iroquois tribes?

NW: IT WAS A FUCKING CONFEDERACY AAAAAAAH-

Oh another one about outfits

AW: Oh okay, we got this ritual ready-Wait why are you wearing Victorian era clothing

NW: Because my ancestors wore these?

Aw: Oh….i thought you would wear all that precolonial garb..

NW: You mean, what that term we begrudgingly agree upon using for outsiders? Oh yes the full shaman gear? Well 1. We had to keep our most powerful magic away from our enemies prior to the Europeans. And 2. You need special permission from the tribe elders to get such items. Which I’m not in the mood to argue with

Aw: Does everyone have family issues?

My joke is that I will point out the different native tribes. Like a visual gag of a Cherokee and a Californian native being shoved into the same group much to their frustrations

Also as you mentioned Shaft and Black Dynamite. I was going to make character that homage to them and create a new wizardry group that came from the influx of Chinese and Japanese immigration. Basically a lot of Asian dispora created magical gun martial arts, though like if they fight someone from the ancestral home. You can see the difference between their tactics

By the pope, could there be someone with both cowboy and samurai ancestry I could make? Is that possible? How I don’t make it goofy as possible?

You could do a lot of cool shit if look past America beyond the surface levels

Gonna be Friday now it looks like, better these things go wrong in the hospital though, gotta make sure to have a nice flavorful meal for him when we can finally get him home.

Heart surgery is bad, but 2 weeks of hospital food it torture.

But I wanted to thank you for liking my magical black American wizards ideas I do as I want to show that not all black people have victim complex

You're excited about it and I can tell that makes it double worth reading

Perhaps it explains in the trailer, but how the fuck we got magic but still subverted? Did we meddling with druids and witches or something? Not to mention a lot of white people were confused who this movie was meant for as they mention they would be down for a black Harry Potter

Good question for #1 and for #2 there's also a lot of us that don't feel like being talked down too and told they're racist

Funny enough my magical America idea came from a Disney channel sitcom and cartoon that was to cash in on the HP phenomen Ain’t that bitch

Nothing wrong with being inspired by Disney, Walt was all about that.

Also as you picked up, I would focus on the cultural divergence. Like the American druids in general created their own culture and they and the Irish ones see each other as “cousins” than say brothers Also for native Americans wizards, I will do jokes that the native tribes will probably like Joke goes here

true how come they're in their traditional garb and we aren't? german heritage American Wizard needs magical leiderhosen.

That'll be a group from Oakland/San Francisco then, get the most crossover between the groups there.

Damn right you could.

KANO: Oh there’s another way I can rearrange your guts, love.

Y/N: ...How big is that knife?

-

Y/N: So you are the head of The Black Dragon? How filthy.

KANO: And dangerous, love. You’d also make a fine Black Dragon.

Y/N: Hmm bet I can tame you then. (smirks)

ERRON BLACK: You casted a hell of a spell on me darlin’.

Y/N: And now you’re mine, cowboy.

CASSANDRA CAGE: So… are we playing Light as a feather, stiff as a board?

Y/N: (rolls eyes) Just like your father, living in your movies.

CASSANDRA CAGE: Maybe I should start calling you Nancy Downs

-

Y/N: So you’re the one that defeated Shinnok?

CASSANDRA CAGE: Impressed? Or scared that you’re next in line for an ass kicking?

Y/N: Oh but you stand before a beast far greater than Shinnok by many levels.

-

CASSANDRA CAGE: Come on, stop with the villain shit so we can go out.

Y/N: Negative, darling, wreak havoc with me.

CASSANDRA CAGE: Is that really all you do?

BI-HAN/NOOB SAIBOT:

alright lets talk ttrpg goals for 2023! this post is about games im writing that i want to finish this year, ill make another one for games i want to play in 2023.

i have. so many half finished games. in fact i even have several games that are written!! they just need to be laid out and put out there. so heres the goals and the order for said goals

1- Record Collection 2K23, and the yet-unnamed game for it that ive been writing up over the past few weeks. part tarot-driven game, part... play? there’s stage directions in there in any case

its based off the four wind albums by the Oh Hellos, later on the two characters in the play only talk to eachother via lyrics from each album, moving through the seasons as they move through their story.

ofc i want to finish this one during the jam, which means by the end of january. very much pushing myself to just Get It Out There and not worry so much about it being exactly what i want, because i can always come back and update it later. its horribly (affectionate) self indulgent already so to b clear i am writing this game for Me, so the only person who needs to like it at any point is Me :3

2- There Is An Anger Inside Of You. ive been noodling at this game for over a year now, with the creation date on the word doc being may of 2021. its done!!! its finished, i swear to god, i just need to lay it out, and i already know how im going to do that i just need to *grabs myself by the shoulders* fucking do it

its a game about being angry when youre not able to express it, the struggle of keeping your anger under wraps being played out as a rather unfair game of chess. and i am going to get it out by the end of february.

3- The Lady, The Tiger, and The Accused, a hack of For The Queen based on the short story The Lady or The Tiger. its another one that is currently completely written out, but rather than laying it out and getting it out there my goal with this one is to get it formatted for playtesting. its a three player game, players taking on the role of either The Lady, The Tiger, or The Accused, and answering the prompts as such. i really love it, but it needs to be played by people and revised before ill feel comfortable declaring it finished.

also, i want to actually crowdfund and print this one, with art and editing and maybe some pretty extras and such. so my goal is to start playtesting it by my birthday, the 17th of march. after that... im not sure! crowdfunding it by the end of the year would be wild i think, since, in true For The Queen style, id love to get a gaggle of artists to draw Princess cards for it, and that takes time! so the goal is more to have it ready for crowdfunding by the end of this year, and if that happens sooner then thats cool and good!

4- Someones Simple Book of Spells Volume One: Paper. This one is also FULLY WRITTEN *sounds of agony in the distance* i just need to LAY IT OUT

and honestly since i already know how i want to lay it out lets put this one for the end of april. yes this is pretty much a game a month for the next bit but theyre all SO CLOSEEEE to being done anyways its just that final push, i could accomplish most of these goals in a weekend if i just did it so. im going to!! do it!!!

5- ok finally, one thats actually not almost finished, its The Center of the Known Universe. a small anthology of games originally started for the weird west jam but never finished.

its got some of my favorite concepts ive ever thought of though, a game about aliens freezing time in a small western town and LARPing as cowboys, two wild west wizards battling it out at high noon, a game about supernatural cowboys falling in love while experiencing all the seasons of the desert, and more. its a love letter to the small desert town i currently live in, and i want to see it come into being. im going to give myself the summer for this, lets say the goal is to have the full first draft written by september. i also would love for this one to go into print, so a secondary goal is to have it ready to crowdfund in time for ZineMonth 2024, so february of next year.

i think thats probably all the projects i can set goals for this year, october-december is always very busy for me so im not gonna set anything besides the two i want to get ready for crowdfunding in 2024, though i do have several other half written games lying about (looks nervously at my over-4000 word “ttrpg ideas” doc).

maybe ill get into the swing of actually finishing games and get to them as well! but if not thats just fine :3

you can always find all my games over on the Grey Jay Games itch.io page, and i may make a sideblog just for GJG, but for the moment all game news and stuff from me will be right here @resident-corvid​
