i think the next arthurian adaptation we need is a nature documentary abt the questing beast, narrated by palamedes

[the-blossica-fan]

Been a while, been busy, but now I'm here to ask some.

So, to start off, last night while my sibling and I were on our way to work, I was thinking about Reverse 1999. And then I had a flash of an idea. A terrible idea. Something that I would not expect to ever be added into the game, but I want your opinion on it.

An Arcanist. An Awakened. Something that has literally shaken the globe and the traces and repercussions of it can still be felt to this day.

I present, the Awakened Atomic Bomb.

Comrade what made you- nevermind, Manus Vindictae must not know...

Don't worry, I've been busy as well, it's okay. Ask anytime you want, I'll answer them even if it takes me a little.

My dear comrade you just made Click's trauma into a character. I'm just being silly.

I think it'll be quite an interesting character to have but it might also need its own event to be introduced. It seems promising, I can picture it being a second main character in the event, probably a 4/5* knowing full well how the game works but if they wanted to, they could make it a 6*

It could probably hold some sort of remorse as well, whether newly created or already used, knowing full well its own danger to everyone. Maybe it'd be quite polite and silent, or maybe talkative.

Either way, it could be implemented into the game but in an event or as a story character, too interesting and too tied into the story (1914, remember) to just be.

Any Arthurian knight after a fight with his girlfriend:

[rauferes]

Emmrich is, unquestionably in my mind, so very into foreplay. There's patience, and then there's him, next level: he once had a lover where they fooled around for over an hour a day for four days without going any further, and he was absolutely delighted, because that just meant the day they finally gave in to their impulses would be all the sweeter. He lives for flirting, make outs, heavy petting, teasing touches, nips, grinding, all of it. You think begging and pleading can sway him? Not on your life. He gets off on that shit.

But sometime, early on in his relationship with Rook... It's been only five minutes that he's had them pressed against his bookshelf on his balcony, and he reaches a teasing hand down under their waistband, meaning to give one gentle stroke that would leave them preoccupied for the next half hour while he toyed with them. Instead, he finds them already so aroused that moisture leaks through their underwear.

Emmrich freezes, eyes widening.

"You-- you're--" he chokes out.

Rook licks their lips.

"I want you," they say, honestly. "Badly."

Emmrich drops to his knees so fast that he'll be sporting bruises for the next week. He tears Rook's pants down with enough force that Rook almost unbalances; Rook has to rest their hands on his shoulders to stay upright. Emmrich lets out a moan at his first taste of them, and he doesn't pause for air once, his mouth almost frantic in his eagerness.

He'll soon learn that his iron self-control means very little when it comes to Rook-- and he'll love every minute of it.
