Summary of the current state of the Chess/AION ARG from both a real life and lore perspective as of 9:19pm PST below the cut, for any guardians interested in catching up. Copy pasted from Discord from a few hours ago but there's been little progress on the state of the board so. Sorry if it's a bit hard to read.

After compiling together a bunch of people's different chess boards they got from completing a game in Eris' throne world that can be done once you collected all the chess pieces in the world that spawned last week, a bunch of streamers were able to piece together a QR code that led to the following site: http://aion-archives.net/ If you complete the puzzle, which is 27 weird chess boards you have to solve, you will be able to interact with a bowl of water that says "the water reveals" and it will give you a four number code (Signal Frequency x----) from 0001 to 4096, along with a custom chess board that you should take a photo of. If you plug in your chess board to any kind of chess site and receive the chess notation or FEN number, you can go to AION and input the following: your frequency number, and then the FEN number minus a few pieces. This will give you one of three things: Green text saying match confirmed, blue text saying data corrupted, or purple text saying quantum spin failed. The last one means you input your FEN notation wrong, while the first two mean you successfully put in the FEN notation. Meanwhile, people are also piecing together each unique board generated to match a frequency by their borders, and lining them into smaller chess boards assembled out of either red or grey tiles. By finding the piece in that bigger chess board created by the smaller chess board that would create some certain checkmate condition, this piece can be plugged into the in-game chessboard and if you complete a square successfully pillars around the arena will light up. They have the middle square done as of right now.

A handful of numbers on the website from frequency signals, as well as a bunch of other random dates (typically in coordination with stuff to do in either Destiny/Bungie or actual real life chess history) will spit out little bits of lore from the terminal. AION stands for the Apollo Intertemporal Observation Network, and we previously heard a mention of an "AION Initiative" back in some of the dialogue you can unlock from Vesper's Host by progressing through the puzzles in the questline. This was mentioned alongside the likes of Rasputin and Soteria, who we know are BrayTech AI. This fact also came to us from Astraea, who herself is a BrayTech AI. It is also very likely that the corrupted data outputs in some way link to the Corrupted Puppeteer, which is a failed BrayTech AI attempt to simulate a Vex Mind that possesses the ability to jump across various hosts and was able to construct some kind of neural network hivemind amongst House Salvation refugees on the Vesper Station.

A dialogue piece that only unlocks once the questline is finished actually reveals the message that was received through the Anomaly, and it is essentially that of someone named "Lodi" communicating that they are adrift. It is very likely this person is connected to AION. Additional texts you can receive from the website are prompts about an experiment starting today, traveling to another star, and a bunch of shit relating to astrophysics. If you bug the terminal too much, it will literally IP ban you which has happened to some unfortunate people in the twitch chat.

What is most interesting is that the code for the chess puzzle was cracked by uncorrupting FEN notations held behind the following set of numbers: 10071956 (I believe). This date aligns with some super important game in chess history, but importantly, you can see it be one of the dates counted down on the satellite in the short Edge of Fate teaser trailer.

and basically that is what we have so far

also if you input bungie related dates you can get easter eggs like pictures of a chess board made out of master chiefs

Right now a LOT of dialogue suggests stuff about jumping through space and time, which aligns with both what we know about the Nine and how the whole ARG is basically a game of 4D chess.

laz companion route stuff copy/pasted from discord messages

I imagine him as either being a base game companion or part of a black ships/psyker smuggling focused DLC, since it kind of looks like Lex Imperialis won't be black ships focused (booo) Laz is probably introduced when you get a quest to hunt down a psyker who allegedly murdered his mistress and jumped ship at Footfall. A nonzero number of people also kill him once they find him, either for Dogmatic reasons or because they lack story comprehension and don't realize that he's recruitable. Regardless of alignment, he'll join up with you if you can convince him you're not going to hurt him. otherwise he freaks out and tries to blow you up with his mind.

He tells you within his first conversation the general outline of his backstory (he was raised as a lower decks pipewarden on a merchant ship, the black ships got him when he was around eleven or twelve, his sanctioning went wrong so he was sold under the table to a noble family). He basically has an approval points system rather than being locked to any specific alignment or choices, you earn points by choosing options that favor the lower deckers and by having conversations with him where you're nice to him and emphasize that he's free to go if he wants to. If you lose enough points by consistently picking harsh/disciplinary options with him and with the crew, he eventually tries to kill you too. Probably by trying to murder you in your room on warp jump, because we don't have enough genuinely threatening assassination attempts and he's not stupid enough to start a fight with the rest of the retinue.

he definitely doesn't have a mutable alignment, he stays iconoclast iii for the whole game, but he definitely does have some slight variations in the ending slides based on your RT's alignment. he just disappears if you're dogmatic. might leave you a note. heretic he's clearly unhappy but sticks around, but the heretic RT probably sacrifices him in the end. soul eaten by daemons eternal torment nexus very sad. Iconoclast and unaligned he's fine though. stays on your ship, prefers the lower decks where he blends in more as a voidborn, continues offering iconoclast advice, serving as a mediator with the worker clans, and maybe doing psyker underground railroad stuff.

I don't know if he's romanceable or not, I think if so you can only get his "true" ending by being a) male RT and b) iconoclast. dogmatic route he still leaves, it's probably the difference between whether he leaves you a note when he goes or just steals a shuttle and heads out. heretic route maybe RT turns him into an amulet or something. my unsettling cursed necklace that cries constantly.

An Announcement

(The announcement below is copied from my discord)

   Hey everyone! This announcement has been a long time coming, I’ve just been pretty busy these past months. This announcement will have some good news, but also, some bad news. 

   First off, the good news: 

   End of last year I graduated from college and a few months after I got a new job! I had to move to a whole new state and it’s been perhaps one of, if not the, best experience of my life. This job has been amazing. My new place has been amazing. And just my life in general has been amazing! I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so content in my life! Sometimes I’ll just start looking around and be struck with disbelief that things turned out so well for me. Basically, I got a really nice job in writing and I couldn’t be happier! 

   With this new job, it has also given me time to discover old and new hobbies such as writing my own new material, reading, and I’m getting back into playing/running Dnd! (And once I get my hands on my sewing machine next month you better bet I’m gonna start sewing again!! And get back into cosplaying!!!) 

   But with this all new amazingness comes with a down side. My new job offers little time in the terms of modding. By the time I’m done with work I’m usually exhausted. (this may also be health related which I’m trying to figure out, but we’ll see.) And on the weekends I find myself looking for new hobbies. 

   Let me rip the bandaid off real quick:

   For now, I will no longer be working on my mods. That doesn’t mean I hope nothing new comes out of them. I’m still hoping to make an announcement later that may open up *some* of my mods for fan made expansions (if users wish to do so,) but I’m still trying to get all that sorted out. There was a lot of update work being done, and I’m still figuring out what to do with it. 

   I also still love seeing mod patches like replacers, translations, and such (like always, just shoot me a message first so I know they’re coming out.) 

   This also doesn’t mean it’s forever over. One day, I may return, but for now, I’m stepping aside.

With that sad news said, I want to let all of you know what a ride all this has been! I first started modding because I wanted to find a creative writing outlet, then it turned into realizing I could make a portfolio for a future career with it, and then, finally, I realized how many people enjoyed my work. There were a lot of times where I self doubted whether or not I was a good writer, but seeing the overwhelming support over the years for my art has helped me get over that. My final years of college weren’t great, and modding and you all helped me through the vast majority of it. Because of all that, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support!

   Now, just because I’m stepping away from modding doesn’t mean I want to stop creating. Like I said, I still love writing in my free time, so maybe in the future I can post various personal writings I make here. 

   And with that, once I get everything figured out about the future of my mods, this server may be taking a shift in a new direction from being solely about Sidekicks of Tamriel, but just as a general Rabbitt Winri server and whatever personal projects I pursue in the future. (I will also be changing my various social media accounts accordingly too.)

   Once again, I cannot thank all of you enough for what you’ve done for me! None of this would have been possible without you!

(copy/pasted from a discord message so sorry if its formatted weird) Hi while im drawing Sam, I just thought of an interesting plot for her character development.

As we all know, Sam is a goth as a way to be "not like other girls", basically rebelling against both of her parents and the popular kids (and the fact that if Sam wasn't goth, shed probably be an A-lister)

But if you guys know ANYTHING about alt subcultures, they too can be very cliquey, even though the whole point of being "alternative" is to get out of the binds of other people's restrictions and being yourself.

Basically what im getting at is-- Sam, despite never caring about popularity or 'fitting in', becomes obsessed with this group of older goths and desperately wants their approval- even to the point where she is willing to dismiss her own likes/values/etc to try and assimilate into them.

Purple Hyacinth fandom, I need a second opinion

Ok so I was skimming through old discord messages in the fandom scythe starboard and like… they are way too good? There are so many amazing memes and texts that have me absolutely WHEEZING but the problem is that they kinda get lost in a sea of THOUSANDS of messages.

I really wanna go back to them so i don't forget but there isn’t a bookmark feature in discord and so I can only look at them once.

ANYWAYS TO GET THE POINT my question is; do you guys think it would be okay to ss/ copy-paste and repost my favorites old messages from the server onto tumblr? I want to make it a series so that I can go back to them but also to have a reminder about how amazing this fandom was (and it still is but its been a LOT less active)

Plus the humor there just fits tumblr so well and I feel like it’s a waste for such key parts of the fandom to be limited to just the server. My goal is basically to immortalize the fan interactions by reposting on a social media site so that it can be more easily looked back on.

But i dont really see it done, so I'm hesitant. Like, is there an unspoken rule that what happens in the scythe stays in the scythe or something?

Also to be clear, I do not plan on reposting analysis, theories, fanart, or fanfic because I feel like those are really personal to the OG creators. Just snippets of funny convos and inside jokes.

Please tell me guys what you think, maybe it’s not that big of a deal but I don't wanna over step or anything.

hi!!!! kicks my feet id like to see ur wiwi first death thoughts pls

- @suckinitup

MY BELOVED MUTUAL SUCKINITUP HOW ARE YOU. HEAD IN HANDS. I LOVE WILLIAM WISP. FUCK. i think abt him constantly but i almost never write down my thoughts because if i think abt him for too long i make myself sick. like fr. i love him too much. ouuguhghhg going to just straight copy paste this under a cut because it is SO LONG sorry for any typos or sentences that sound weird out of context bc these were originally discord messages:

ohhhhhhh wiwi first death. god . i have so many fucking emotions about wiwi first death. before i get into this im going to say fork found in kitchen to myself because so much of how i view wiwi comes from a VERY SPECIFIC type of dp fanon that it would take me 12 years to actually explain in detail so im gonna say just trust me and understand that william wisp is literally just a fuckign. walmart rebrand of a type of danny characterization i really wish people would just oc-ify (thank you charlie slimecicle for doing this for me)

okayyyyyy okay okay okay. i love there being like. a STARK fucking difference between william before the fall and william after the fall. william before the fall was so much... brighter. in every sense of the word. he looks ALIVE because he is! hes just a . regular fuckign 16 yr old boy. that weird kid in your math class. and yeah he has . suuuuper undiagnosed untreated depression but like its a small rural town thats normal i think. hes got his little group of friends to spend hours with going on cool hikes and reading about the paranormal at the library and sitting in circles talking about conspiracy theories and things. i think UPP is. awesome. i hesitate to get too attached to them in headcanon world just because i dont want bizly to then introduce us to them in s3 and i have to reframe my whole mindset . whatever. i have vague ideas of who they are but the important bit is like. i just think theyre really good friends. and they spend a lot of time together. and william is kind of their defacto leader because... he is the only one of them who actually has truesight. they all believe in ghosts and monsters and stuff but william is the only one who can actually SEE THEM. like. constantly. and thats a lot. and even though they believe him they dont really like.... understand. which kind of makes william feel disconnected from basically everyone around him at all times. i dont think truesight is probably a well-known thing?? so when he was little and started crying to his parents about monsters they thought he just had bad night terrors and then he just................. hes 16 now and still talks about it (less so now, hes learned the horrors of middle- and hihg-school Shame and not to be Super Weird All The Time) so its more like. hmm theres something Wrong here but we dont know what and we dont know how to help. other people (you included ros) have said this better than me but goddddd you knowww the dynamic btwn william and his parents is rough. they love him! so much! and they want to support him! and william loves them too! but they dont GET IT they dont UNDERSTAND and its like. you know what i mean. when you get a mental health diagnosis and suddently everyone is treating you like youre made of glass and nobody really knows what to say around you anymore or whatever. you know what i mean. that.

ANYWAY ALL THIS IS FUCKING. PREAMBLE. GOD. the fall. man. i think there is a STRICT UPP rule of "dont go into the whispering woods alone" and thats the case for the ENTIRETY of their friendship. DONT go into the woods alone. william knows exactly what kind of shit lives in the woods and he knows hes the only one that can reliably see them and he doesnt want anyone to get hurt. MINIMUM of two members for whispering woods investigations. (this is not a town rule or anything. i think the adults of deadwood are aware that its a weird place but it all gets brushed off like . aha everywhere has quirks! and the UPP are like. the conspiracy kids that know the Real Stuff going on. very..... house of anubis is the closest Real Media vibe i can think of rn. UPP pre-fall is like the closest u will get to . scooby doo style monster of the week shenanigans that arent really super serious because theyre safe as they can be about it! bunch of kids doing a ouija board. you know how it is)

uhhhhhhh and then william starts acting weird! i think all of them are on a whispering woods investigation together and theyre all walking together and then william starts lagging behind, staring out at something none of them can see, kind of like. zoned out. tranfixed. and when theyre like "will what do you see?" he shakes his head and snaps out of it like. huh? what? nothing lets keep walking. (it was a wisp btw. obviously) and there are a couple more incidents of him doing this same thing on that one hike until eventually they decide to call it because theyre not finding anything else and tbh william youre kind of freaking us out here. will you be okay? and hes like yeah of course i will guys its nothing i swear. and then they all go home.

and thennnn without telling anyone a couple days later, william goes on a walk in the woods alone. he broke his OWN rule . on that hike he saw wisps and they were just too far away to see clearly off in the distance between the trees but he just Kept Seeing Them and the curiosity was just nagging and nagging away in his brain so much he had to know what they were (thats wisp magic babyyyy you know the mythology around them i dont need to explain that to you) . (and also there is a fair amount of. lack of self preservation because of the previously mentioned untreated unmanaged depression but if i start talking about that in detail i will overshare and also be soooooo emo forreal. know that that is an EXTREMELY important part of this decision but im also going with a little more of the teen mystery angle with this rn. bloody gory mental illness is for after he falls) so he packed his monster investigation backpack and he just. left. didnt even tell his parents he was going he just walked out of the house after school and went into the woods. and he saw the wisps again, but now that he was alone they were Closer and Brighter and they would move whenever he got close and then there was a trail of them ! like they were Leading him somewhere

and i think with some of the monsters he sees he can feel whetehr or not theyre out to hurt him . and the wisps dont feel like that. they feel... well. cold,becaue theyre ghosts, but also warm at the same time? inviting. they dont want to hurt him (they do) they just want to show him something and william "too curious for his own good" wisp wants to know what that thing is! i think he knows the woods really really well because he spends a lot of time out there. so somewhere far away in the back of his mind he kind of knows what theyre leading him toward. but he still jsut Has To Know, so he keeps jogging, keeps hopping over fallen logs and around low branches and theres always a little blue flame juuuuust out of reach so he keeps going . and then he gets to the cliff. its like a full on. burst out of the trees there is a wisp juuuust on the edge where the ground falls away. i think he trips on a root and falls flat on his stomach before he can completely just run off. it gives him a second to catch his breath, to look out and See where he is. for things to kind of come crashing down on him. if he hadnt tripped he wouldve run right off the edge and fallen and it was close enough of a near death experience for it to scare him. but the wisp is still there, and its the biggest brightest one hes seen yet and if he looks around he would see it looks like the entire forest behind him is glowing with tiny blue fires like theyre all watching him. i dont think hes really. thinking coherent thoughts at this point he just kind of. realizes now that hes out here he doesnt really want to go home. he doesnt want to go back to school, doesnt want to eat lunch in the bathroom and think about his brothers empty bedroom across the hall and have his parents look at him with such a weird mix of love and awkward pity and he knows his friends say they believe him but he can see it in their eyes sometimes that the things he says scares them and he really just has been a freak his whole life.... and he realizes as hes thinking all of this he's gotten to his feet and walked toward the wisp on the edge of the cliff. and hes just standing there feet on the very edge staring at it. its floated away now, hanging over the drop at eye level with him but its probably still close enough he could just... reach out.... and try to grab it...... and his feet slip on the rocks and JUST as he closes his hand around the wisp it almost feels like something pushes him (probably just the wind.. right?) and he falls.

he does Not remember hitting the bottom thank god. he remembers falling, and falling, and in the fall he realized he was still holding the wisp he grabbed in his hand and so he pulled it close to his chest as he fell and it almost felt like it was burning him but it was *cold* and .. then he woke up! he woke up in a misty foggy field in what looked to be the middle of the night but if he looks at the sky too long it looks *weird* its just black and empty and there are weird bluish swirls in it that could be clouds but look different, and there are trees in the distance but whenever he tries to walk toward them it feels like theyre moving the same distance away so it never really feels like hes getting anywhere.. and he trips over what he thinks is a rock and lands in the foggy grass and looks behind him and realizes *oh my god thats a gravestone-* and then he wakes up again, for real this time !!! (<< that scene is like. thats His Island. thats his lair or whatever. remember when mal first took him to the spirit world and they were in the graveyard and mal told him that was his. im going with dp style spirit world lairs and this one is williams. hear me out)

aaand. when he wakes up for real. he is at. the bottom of the cliff. EVERYTHING hurts. everything hurts so fucking badly but also everything is like... weirdly numb? and he doesnt really remember that weird dream with the fog and the trees and the grave its all kind of fading as he wakes up more and more and ... his hands are empty hes not holding the wisp anymore. he doesnt know how much time has passed. was any of that even real or did he just have some kind of nervous breakdown and jump off a fuckign cliff? i think he fucking sits there and cries about it for a loooooong time. and everythihng hurts but its gonna start getting dark soon he NEEDS to go home before it gets dark, his parents will start to worry about him and he doesnt want to do that to them. also he might need to get to a hospital or something but hey! he can move! he can stand up and walk! so he must not have any broken bones or anything he just. is bruised and sore probably. and so he. sooooo slowly. so slowly. makes his way back up the cliff (theres. a path. he doesnt have to climb i promise) and back home. alone. no wisps or anything, just william alone with his thoughts. which is . goddd its bad. thats why it takes him so long. ohhh my god what am i even gonna fucking say when i get there. hi mom and dad sorry i needed to clear my head and follow some weird ghosts and in the process i tried to kill myself and it didnt work? fuck?

so by the time he gets home... huh. the door is locked thats weird. its not fully dark yet and his parents know he stays out late with his friends a lot of the time so they usually leave the door unlocked for him. so he knocks. and his mom answers the door and takes one look at him and just fucking breaks down into tears. and so his dad comes in from around the corner to see whats going on and he starts crying too. and william is so. freaked out by this. guys whats wrong what happened. turns out he has been missing for. two weeks. nobody knew where he was or what happened and the woods are alive and weird and anyone who went out in a search part just ended up getting lost themselves and came back like an hour later with nothing. they thought he was dead. (which. i mean. he was. but like. not in the way they thought). so theres this big huge emotional family group hug or whatever with william all dirty with leaves and twigs in his hair and torn clothes and mud on his hands and feet and his mom and dad are just like oh thank god youre alive thank god youre home what happened to you and... man. euguhhhhahghhhh. emo. sorry. god. head in hands .

i thiiink. he kind of ends up telling them what happened. he leaves out the wisps though. his watered down version is.. i just needed to clear my head, i went out into the woods, i got lost, i tripped and fell. (remember how william downplays it for dakota when he asks. i tripped and fell) he doesnt tell them about the wisps but like. that almost makes it worse becuase they KNOW about his bad mental health even if they dont fully understand it and.... this version makes it sound suspiciously way more like it was just a direct suicide attempt. which. william IMMEDIATELY regrets as soon as it leaves his mouth. but thats his story now. so everything kind of... goes back to normal? normal ish??? as nrmal as they can i fucking guess?? for a couple days and he has to go back to school and. god it fucking sucks. gossip . you know how it is. hey that kid tried to kill himself and got lost in the woods for two weeks what a weirdo he freaks everyone out . that kind of stuff. so hes more isolated than EVER and even his friends wont really talk to him although theyre more... sad. than anything else. they just dont really know what to say. theyre teenagers. idk. uhhhhhh then one day he reallyreallly REALLY doesnt want to be somewhere so he hides in the bathroom and.. doesnt realize it at first but he goes invisible. and its not until a couple other kids come in and leave and dont acknowledge him at all that he notices something is weird (he feels bone chillignly cold but like. its a shitty old school building in the very beginnings of winter of course its gonna be cold) and he looks in the mirror and realizes he cant see himself. and after that more and more of his powers kind of. slowly manifest? and he is VERY bad at controlling them and he plans not to tell anyone at first (hes already enough of a freak) until one day his dad finds him like. halfway through the floor in his bedroom and its this . kind of funny ridicuous but also really scary moment. and william has a realization at some point like. oh. i think i *died*. and auughhghg. i think thats all i ahve for now. but . man. when i tell you i think about this soo fucking much man.

hear me out: "No Longer You" animatic but w/ chara as odysseus and the riverperson as the prophet (and clover as penelope)

!! Spoilers for undertale pacifist and genocide route !!

to elaborate: i got epic the musical stuck in my head one day (specifically no longer you) and thought of a comment i'd off-handedly made to my friend in a discord call. i'd said "what if epic the musical, but with undertale?" and then just sorta brushed past it bc it was just something i had in my head at the time and i have a habit of just spitting out whatever comes in my mind

so then as i was listening to no longer you i thought "huh... what if someone animated this, but with undertale?" and so, my brain being as hyperactive as it is, got straight to work on that idea

you like cocoapowder? alright, that's gonna be put in. these lyrics match up with certain parts of the lore? boom, done. you want the first half to talk about paci and the second to be about geno like you're doing rn in your playthrough of utr&y? done.

soo, to explain what my brain came up with, i will just be copy-pasting the summary i gave to a friend (same friend i mentioned the ut x etm to) over to this post, then try to explain anything that might be unclear/kinda confusing. I was picking out specific lyric chunks and explaining what i thought up for each scene so this might seem a little odd/unorganized. sorry bout that

also this will have my input while i was texting it, so just disregard it if it bothers you. i just want to let ppl know my entire thought process. and i do have my name and pfp blocked out, along with other unrelated messages, so don't be alarmed by that

^ this is (mostly) abt the first part of the song, aka what i think would be more so abt the pacifist route. this includes chara's backstory and their death since (i'm pretty sure) paci is the only route we learn their full backstory from.

^ this right here might be a bit confusing. i forgot to talk about the part in between the repeating lyrics, so it is put AFTER the yapping about the second. but basically the part in between would talk about how chara's palace was covered in red (dust) and their ppl think they're dead, etc. etc. it's mentioned up there. then clover is shown talking to flowey and i imagined them (clover) reaching their hand out as they're both seemingly talking as if they're about to shake flowey's hand or something (sorry, this isn't very descriptive but that's the only way i can think of it ToT). then for second it would show genocide rather than pacifist, showing the change between the two and how it affects both clover and chara.

But yeah, this is just sort of a silly idea i had. also as you can tell i haven't figured out EVERYTHING yet, that's why i'm posting this as a (maybe) animatic idea for anyone who wants it, or just to read as an interesting idea(?)

really sorry nothing makes sense T-T it was made entirely in my head and i unfortunately can't draw so here's to anyone who is interested in reading all this. props to you.

This is copy-pasted from my message in the Discord hhhh

VELDIDRONES

Murder Drones X Sitcom au.

First off if you haven’t watched Murder Drones, go watch it. It’s by the same studio as Digital Circus and it’s a sci-fi horror comedy and it’s the first online thing that made me cave and buy official merch from (however if you choose to watch Murder Drones, tw for gore, body horror, cannibalism, vomiting (just in one episode), abuse (but it’s not a huge focus) abandonment, and probably some other stuff but the most common ones in the show are the first 3)

Secondly, spoilers for Murder Drones

Basically it’s the Sitcom au but in the MD world, with a few Murder Drones plot points thrown in.

Alex and Mortimer are worker/solver drones while the Veldigun take the role of the disassembly drones but can use solver, as well as being somewhat physically different. Basically, they’re Dissassemblers mixed with Veldigun.

Other mportant details:

-This is shown for a few moments in the show but it’s more significant with this au: drones with Solver can create hallucinations

-The Solver symbol changes to a triangle with 6 circles, yes it’s Six

-Falsified workers tend to grow quite a bit and take on more animalistic traits that are shared with the Veldidrone which changed them.

-Any worker drone can be falsified but only those who have parents who are/were solver drones can have solver. Alex’s mother and Mort’s dad were solver drones.

-Veldidrones work similarly to regular Veldigun, they eat workers and can use the knowledge in the worker’s cpu. They also grow larger with every worker they eat.

-Flock is a Sentinel

-Veldidrones are basically robot Veldigun in appearance, however they have disassembly drone eye screens and the eye light headbands. The eye lights are the same color as the Veldigun’s eyes, with 2 of Klaus’s lights being blue

-Veldigoop is nanite acid now

Alright I’m done rambling *slams head on table*

[all-seeing-ifer]

Connoe ats for the character opinions bingo

oooo VERY good question....

look. I get it. I get why people don't like him. he is not likeable. and also. more importantly. not well written for more than like 3 episodes. BUT HEAR ME OUT. he has so much potential. on paper he is such a fascinating character. I find his dynamics with angel and cordy (insert various caveats here) so fascinating. I'm still in denial about the fact that the jasmine arc was bad. and I think in certain episodes (peace out and home especially) it's sooooo easy to see how great and tragic his storyline could have been.

but also he's funnyyyyyy!! he's silly!!!!! he literally lived in quor'toth and doesn't know what anything is! i don't think he knew what a woman was until he was 16 years old. that bit where angel tells very seriously that he's gonna have to kill him if he becomes a danger while unsouled and connor is like "yeah sure" and angel's like "if I become dangerous" and connor's like "yeah got it" THAT'S SO FUNNY. I LIKE HIM A LOT.

also speaking my truth. usually i do understand people not liking him but i do think some of the shit people say about him in season 4 is actually nuts considering he spent basically the entire time getting groomed. sorry about to copy paste from an angry discord message i sent to my friends. normally I do get the connor hate even if I disagree bc yeah you know what he is an unlikeable little shithead who's basically never well written. And I agree that the bit where jasmine kisses angel (for some reason???) and connor is like "every time I like a girl you have to make a move on her don't you" is a STRONG contender for worst dialogue in the show in a season full of strong contenders BUT Why the hell are so many people saying "oh it's weird bc she's his daughter". A) she's an all powerful ancient god who possessed the mortal body of his stepmum/aunt figure and convinced him to sleep with her so she'd get pregnant and give birth to herself in physical form. They do not exactly have the most traditional father daughter relationship. B) SHE GROOMED HIM. WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE

i'm normal about him tho. anyway if no one gets me i know naz @treasureplcnet gets me

BEWARE

(Original Link) (This post is a copy & paste of the original)

PLEASE READ! THIS SCAM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY BE VERY CONVINCING TO SOME!

The scam will open with someone either from your friends list or from a server you share DMing you. They will send a message saying they accidentally reported your discord account for something really bad and if you don’t file an appeal, both your account and IP address will be permanently banned from discord. They will say how sorry they are and include a screenshot of a discord email that states this offense, a ticket number, and instructions on how to file an appeal. The email screenshot will look real and even has the official discord support email as the sender. However it is faked.

The person who was hacked will then ask you to reach out to the ‘discord support member’ mentioned in the email, encouraging you that they’re doing the same and if you act fast, you can save your account.

The ‘support member’ I was directed to went by the name of Chao Chen. This same scammer may be the one speaking to everyone who falls for this, or it may be someone different, but either way, be wary. They will have a profile on discord that claims they’re a discord support team member seeking to rid discord of scammers (the irony)

They will also send a transcript that contains some of your account details, to make you think the scam is real.

The scammer will ask for basic information like your age, date of birth, and other questions seemingly related to your account identity. They will send you an official-looking card affiliated with discord that shows their specialty and position in the company. They will also request your discord ID number and then request you to temporarily change the email associated with your account to a burner email for “screening.” I made the mistake of letting my anxiety best me and agreed to this, but this step is how they steal your discord account. Once you have changed the email, you require a code sent to that email to change it, meaning you are now locked in to the scam email.

After this step, your account will be stolen and near the end of the scam or once you find out something is wrong, they will change the email, kicking you out. I tried to log back in using that email and my password but to no avail; they will change the email as soon as they can so you can no longer log back in.

If you haven’t figured out til now that this is very suspicious and is likely a scam (sadly I did not) they will next ask you to complete a “federal security check” and request you send them a small sum using your bank, PayPal, or card. They assure that the money will be returned in accordance with policy, but this is a lie. This was the point I finally got some sense and realized I was being scammed, and blocked the fake support member before I had my money taken. They then kicked me from my account and are now using it to spread the scam to others.

The scammer will also say small things to sway you into believing their lie. Threats like they have higher-ups monitoring the situation and telling you to “be careful and follow the instructions exactly”, official-looking documents, transcripts, etc, and acting like above all else they wish to help you get your account back.

The friend/server member who initially sends the scam will have already fallen prey to it, so block their account and be sure to warn any mutual friends/servers you share.

TL;DR; THIS DISCORD SCAM WILL STEAL BOTH YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOUR MONEY! BE WARY.

If your account was hacked, please reach out to Discord Support immediately. I will update on wether or not I get my account back and what they did to help, as of right now I am still awaiting a response.

Stay safe and please share this information where you can

everyone, what do you think of my rpg game combat system ideas? copying and pasting this from a discord message lol

every character has a class/battle role and an element. also every move has a combat type (like heavy attack, slice attack, projectile attack)

elements would probly be basic ones, battle roles would be ur usual supports, stunners, various dpses, sustains, but probably with some flexibility for their role like maybe a character could be a tank dps

enemies have two bars, a stun bar and an element bar. stun bars can be lowered by any character, maybe certain attack types like heavy attacks lower it even more.

element bar is filled up by ur characters' elemental attacks. and effects can happen if you fill the elemental bar up with two diff elements that synchronize

like fire + water will cause a scald effect, or plasma + fire will cause explosion effect, ect. some enemies will be immune to some elements or attack types

also characters can get a faction bonus if theyre in the same team as a friend

(Copying and pasting this from my Discord messages for ease of posting)

Are there any people with ADHD (or similar neurodivergency/mental illness) that have had experiences similar to this? I'm trying to figure out which feelings are sleep deprivation, which are possibly medication related, which are ADHD experiences in general, and which are just normal "creative person problems"?

Basically I'm trying to figure out if the feelings I'm describing are just a personal neurosis or if other ADHD (esp ADHD + depressed) creatives have similar struggles.

The main ideas I'm interested in hearing shared experiences/advice on are

After being an unmedicated ADHD creative for so many years (and also depressed), how do I tell what's "too much energy" and what's just, the normal amount of energy I was so deprived of by executive dysfunction/depression that it feels abnormal to actually be normal? And then, by extension

How do you deal with having so much extra energy and pulling your mind away from the mindset of "oh my god I never have this much energy/motivation, I need to squeeze every single second of productivity I can out of this before it runs out or else I'm wasting time/energy/creativity/potential"?

About those 3 Anon messages recently...

Yes, there's 3 now. Third on came up while I was finishing typing about the 2nd one.

tl;dr context: peeps defending a fictional 2D lego character, questioning the morality of esau (despite the lack of lore context), as well as for some reason a personal attack on me... also smol chinese jesus??? :'D

DISCLAIMER:

I respect y'all's opinions and headcanons and whatnot. It's all valid. However. I expect respect on my own opinions and headcanons return. That's literally all I'm asking.

That's common sense and I will from this point on just delete anyone else's anon asks if they try to argue with me about my standings on these matters mentioned in here. Or this post in general.

There's literally no point in arguing over words written in a story, or debating whether or not pixels on a screen are hot or not.

With that disclaimer being said...

Case 1:

I'm fully aware of the entire discussion thing of Nezha being eternally 12 and all that, but I'm also fully aware of how LMK Nezha is more of a parody on the original. LMK Nezha is more of an adult 2D character who took the characteristics of the source, but then was turned into an aged-up parody.

It's not weird with the context of how things even came to be in the AU. It does involve a form of "infection" that changes those that are infected. In ESAU it's just slightly different from my original story's OCs to appeal more to the Reader. There are people out there who seek comfort in their own superiority complex too, especially if they can never explore that part of themselves normally. If that doesn't appeal to you, that's fine. But don't assume it's weird just because you don't like it if a fictional master/servant relationship isn't for you.

Now, this ask wasn't really bad or directly disrespectful. That was just basic questioning on the general relationship of the AU as well as the LMK Nezha being 12 discussion. So I went to bed, cuz I didn't wanna respond with my rather aggressive response to the topic. Like, I ranted about it to my Discord server, but it was already around midnight and I knew I'd come off as aggressive, despite the logic and facts, if I just copy n pasted the way I phrased the rant. So I went to bed. But then I woke up to an essay in another ask...

Case 2:

I'm assuming this is the exact same person, based on the timeframe and the writing style..? Maybe even the same person who asked that question about whether I'd make Nezha's relationship towards the Reader romantic or platonic..??

For the sake of this entire thing being unworthy of an unnecessary discussion, as well as the fact that the person sending this isn't worth directly responding to if they hide behind an anon face, knowing they would get flamed, I will solely respond to these for my actual viewers, who do enjoy ESAU.

As in, I noticed how almost every single point is easily arguable. Like, they literally just made it up as if every single relationship between the Reader and their champions is romantic. Which couldn't be further from the truth. This is a point I wanna get more into due to how it covers the Master System more. A random anon sending me questions, or rather statements, like this doesn't deserve to get a detailed response to this directly either. My viewers do deserve more insight though. Be it to avoid more people thinking this is automatically grooming, or just to give interested people more lore dump.

To keep it short: Everyone who wants to be a Reader, is a Reader. I myself am a Reader of fiction, which is why I use my persona to fill in the Reader's space in any drawing I do for ESAU. Which is also why Macaque referred to their Master currently being female in that one drawing- Because in that moment, in my drawings, I'm technically seen as their Master.

So when you see the champions swap between their Master using non-binary or female pronouns, this is why. If you see me draw them referring to their Master as a "she", they're referring to basically their current Master in that exact moment. However, literally anyone else can also be placed in that spot.

Whenever I refer to a Reader's reincarnation, I usually mean either "the same person, but another life" OR "different people of the same/a different life". As in, the Reader can imagine themselves having had multiple past lives, or their "past life" is actually another Reader. We're all the Reader. That's why I kept saying the Master System is rather philosophical.

The Reader can imagine themselves if they met their champions as a child or as an adult. However, nothing in ESAU is forced to be romantic or sexual. If you were born as a prince/princess/royalty, that doesn't mean your servants are immediately destined to be romantic or sexual with you, right? That entire portion is up to the Reader to decide and imagine. I do not control what another person thinks of and imagines. If they chose to pick a darker path, the fuck do you want me to do about that? Unless it ends up hurting anyone, or they actively push the topic onto others, I see no issue with however a Reader wants to think up what happens in their life with their servants. All I do is create material for others to play with.

Except for the First Master, any other Reader can be considered either the same person or various people. That's up to the person behind the screen, whether they feel more comforted with one idea or another.

On the Nezha being 12 topic... Do people know what a parody is, I-

LMK Nezha looks more like THIS-

Not as young as THIS-

And he was never said to be 12 years old in LMK. Nor does he look 12, act 12, speak 12, sound 12... LMK needs to be seen and accepted as more like a parody AU of the original story, if that wasn't obvious enough. I find it funny how they brought up my own age though-

Cuz yeah, I'm 21, almost 22, and I do understand the difference between reality's religions, fictional 2D pixels, and the difference between the source and a parody. Wow. Shocker. I know.

Or as I said it in tags earlier today-

Also I'd just like to add… If we go by the theory of specifically LMK Nezha still being 12, despite literally thousands of years having passed, his body being depicted as a fully grown adult in basically every single goddamn aspect of his character within the show… Literally all he got is his paperwork saying he's 12. Like- LMK Nezha would literally just be one of those people that were born on February 29th. Just him not getting any birthdays. Do you assume after literal thousands of years, with his body and mind being mature, and only his paperwork saying he's 12, this dude wouldn't be tryna explore more of himself and his interests, wh-

Like- LMK Nezha isn't the original source Nezha. Simple as that. Just accept it's a parody and be done with it. If you don't agree with it, that's your opinion and I respect that. But don't you dare fucking push that opinion on others who do actually accept the show as a parody and wanna live out their fantasies in said parody.

Your opinion does not mean it's the opinion of others.

Like, the entire age thing in LMK is such a headcanon thing to the point where no one seems to have a solid age, besides maybe MK, who I've seen people calculate his age for due to his driving license and all that. LMK Nezha is confirmed to be depicted as an adult within the show, which is the headcanon I'm going with, regardless of whatever bullshittery people are trying to argue with.

In conclusion: Nezha may be eternally 12 in a story. But that story is NOT Lego Monkie Kid.

On a side note, something I found ironic and funny, is if an aged up character isn't allowed to be sexualized, then I guess if someone ages a character down, suddenly that original source of the character is no longer allowed to be sexualized either, just because that character suddenly has a younger version of themselves. It's not even the younger version that's being sexualized. That literally is the entire logic of this debate on not wanting a fictional character to have an aged up version of themselves.

Good job, nobody wins. I guess nothing can be sexualized at that point- But then again, Rule 34 wouldn't exist then.

Okay, but now this, THIS is where I got REALLY annoyed, cuz NOW we're getting into more personal territory of nitpicking at ESAU. And those who know me are aware of how I go Asian mom mode when my creations, or younger friends and mutuals, are being wrongfully disrespected.

In general, their entire point is a snowflake-behavior nitpick. Branding is also seen as a way to claim ownership over something. The torture part is basically just the pain of it. I could've also just have the champions have one of those toy stamps for lil children be slapped onto them if you really wanna snowflake it all for tHe PrEcIoUs cHilDrEn...

C'mon. I grew up with FNAF and Creepypastas. Which tend to be usually two of the first fandoms I see children get interested in and hyperfixated on. Mentions of brandmarks that have fully healed ain't nothin' at all.

Like, I literally met a boy who was 8ish years old, who was so happy and hyped about FNAF that he asked me to draw Freddy and Bonnie.

Creepypastas also might make one edgy for a while, but they do grow A LOT from it once they leave that phase. So far, everyone I've ever talked to about Creepypastas in the past became such a good person. Because they look back, and recognize morals so much better. They have seen what bad things can happen and we all know where to draw the line between what's fine, and what's not. Nitpicking on LMK Nezha and ESAU doesn't mean anything since it's just that, nitpicking. I know where to draw the line, but this line these people set is a line no one but themselves can imagine.

Show children bits of reality's darker side and they will know how to deal with the knowledge much better and faster as they grow. That wasn't even just about branding, but I'm tired of people saying how we need to keep children safe. Well yeah, keep them safe physically, but they will never fucking grow and become more independent unless you fucking let them think and process the good AND the bad for themselves.

Also on the topic of adding content warnings- Like, the fuck do you want me to even add? Those asks other people sent of the Reader being basically raised by their servants need no warnings, X Readers in general need no warnings, the brandmarks need no warnings cuz they're just there as aesthetic symbols for anyone not invested in the lore, LMK Nezha needs no content warnings-

Literally the only content warning I'd ever need to add is something like gore, which I do admit I didn't add on the ESAU!Nezha X Reader one.

And I'd just like to add a little something that made me raise an eyebrow: They complained about me going against "Wukong's celibacy vows" when they literally admitted to actively looking through the LMK X Reader tag. While that doesn't necessarily mean they would marry or bang Wukong, that means they're at least curious or interested in what a relationship with any of those characters would be like. Which by all means, would not be possible without it being fiction/fanfiction, and without them having some curiosity or interest in the 2D show of LMK.

Like you're literally telling me I'm practically hurting a fictional character's feelings on the matter, but then turn around and try to get with another character.

Fanfiction and AU's are a thing, man. It's all opinions, headcanons, and literally made up shenanigans. And there's nothing wrong with it when it differs from one person to another.

But dumping empty accusations onto me, someone who thinks more logically than emotionally, literally doesn't help your case. Like, you're debating whether or not this 2D character would actually give a shit if someone would wanna bang them cuz they look hot to the other person.

Case 3:

This one just got dropped into my inbox as I finished typing out the last paragraph and just- This is literally just a unnecessary and only somewhat personal hatred thing at this point- But I'm wheezing at the idea of a smol Chinese Jesus-

Bro, as someone who was forced to be Christian on paper, but never gave a shit about it, because Religion doesn't prove anything or form you, I really don't care. And even if that were the case, I wouldn't complain. It's all fiction dammit. You're again, defending pixels on a screen. Besides that, that wouldn't even be the original source character, again. Also in general, honestly, I see any religious story as fiction anyway. Cuz that literally is what a religion is- You put a belief onto someone over a being/a story-

If you're religious, I respect that. But so do you have to respect that I'm not exactly religious myself.

Case 3 was probably the most directly aggressive one of the 3, but also the most unmeaningful one and so unnecessary one... as if that would be the one to prove a point.

Anyway, rant over, I'm done with this.

If I see any other personal hate on me for not sharing the same fucking opinion on such a niche debate, I'll just ignore and delete it all. This is such a pointless topic.

ESAU is supposed to be a comfort zone for those who actually do feel connected to it. If you don't, that's fine, I fully respect it. If people believe Nezha is 12, I respect that. But don't push that onto those who literally are just here to have a nice time away from shit like this. If you wanna "keep the children safe", fucking keep them away from this sort of nowhere-leading discussion topic.

Literally look at Genshin's Twitter Community, this just feels like the exact same type of unnecessary drama I see there.

And no I will not tag these 3 anons. If they respect me enough, they will either just keep quiet or block me and move on. I don't mind. But I refuse to let this bullshit be a whole ass discussion when I'm just trying to have a good time connecting to my viewers after a long day at work. If they look for a fight for some reason, I won't give them one. They can pick someone else for this bullshit, it's not worth my time as it's all OPINION AND HEADCANON-BASED.

And such debates don't end in peace. So I'd rather be the bigger, more mature person and just say "This is the line. Discussion over. We're done here".

Have a nice day, anyone who actually is nice and respectful towards others and their own takes/opinions on things! Weekend's here now tho so y'all ESAU lovers might see some wholesome lil doodles! :D

[cypresscries]

ok so some people wanted my rw lore dump so so here it is ::3 i just copied and pasted it from discord lmao i am NOT taking another 20 minutes to write that shit

okay so first i gotta explain the main components:

1. the cycle - Basically everybody is in a timeloop. nobody can die permanently without ascension [dying permanently], so when you die you wake up again.

2. the ancients - Basically humans who want to break the cycle and die permanently. most of them see the cycle as suffering so they want to die lmao

3. iterators - big sentient supercomputer that reach higher than the clouds thats how fucking big they are. they were created by the ancients to help them find a solution to break the cycle [called the great problem]

ok now the storyline

an iterator by the name of seven red suns sends the potential solution to five pebbles. but the solution requires intake of a shit ton of water to be done successfully which causes problems bc of his neighbor, looks to the moon uses the same water supply as him [iterators need water to function] so uh. pebbles is taking all the water and moon is like "oh my god you are fucking killing me please stop" and pebbles is like "STFU UR NOT MY MOM" or smth and bc he had to lock in like crazy to do his project correctly he fucks it up bc moons message distracted him so now he has robot turbo cancer [called the rot]

seven red suns sends out a messenger, spearmaster, to deliver a pearl [pearls are data storage. like google docs] telling pebbles to stop immediately. hes like "NO STFU GTFO" and spearmaster goes to moon and shes like "yo can i rewrite this? k thanks" and she rewrites it and gives it connection to the communication arrays [iterator discord] to announce shes fucking dying. spearmaster takes it there, the message has some soppy bs in it about how moon is thankful for everything everyone has done n whatever but thats it then she dies

so another iterator, no significant harrasment [weird names ik] makes like a fuckin slag key thing to get her atleast slightly functional again and sends out the hunter to give moon the slag keys and they r successful and moon is like "thank you bro but uh you have cancer get well soon 🙏" and idk man hunter dies and i get sad

im keeping out irrelevant/slugcat only bs btw play the game urself for that [or ill make another infodump just on the slugcat campaigns]

so giant fucking timeskip to the far future!

pebbles is fucking dying to the rot and some slugcat, rivulet shows up and pebbles starts venting to it like "i feel so bad for what i did to moon shes like my sister and everything wah wah wah take my last power cell and give it to her i dont deserve to live anymore" and riv is like "alr sure i guess" and takes his fucking heart out and riv makes its way to moon like "hey man i got ts for u" and shes like "omg i think u just killed somebody anyway go put that in my superstructure for me will ya sweetie" and riv is like "ok anyghing for god 💚" and blah blah it puts the cell thingy in moons systems and shes able to work better now and shes like "i can finally read all my missed messages yay" and she sends out a message to the communication array and is like "hey guys im back online i missed so much also i forgive you pebbles" and pebbles is like "ty bro🙏🙏 while im still alive lets be best friends forever"

anyways more timeskip to the far future!

its fucking cold and snow is everywhere. some slugcat, saint, has some weird ass attunement to the world and can like ascend stuff so he ascends everybody and whatever 💚 he cant die tho so. uhh everybodys dead the end i dont know man play the game the dialog is a fuckibg masterpiece

[toletoles]

its perfect i love ittt 🫶🫶 i wasn't expecting you to be done so quickly lmao im super impressed! hope you get more requests soon ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

TYY i'm glad you like it :3 i originally planned on doing it later but i was bored so i did it like right after i replied to your request 😭😭 ALSO!! for the image link that i used for the widget!! i accidentally put a temporary link, so if the image disappears then that may be why if the image disappears and you need to put a new link, use this link to fix it ! (also linked on the source) i meant to put a permanent link while making the layout but then i got too excited to complete the whole thing and forgot...

(if this doesn't make sense, then basically images in rentry need to have links in order to be shown correctly - but if you put a link from discord/any messaging app then the image link used will most likely expire, making the image no longer visible)

i'm also going to be fixing the link in the actual layout so you could probably just re copy and paste it if you need to ^^ if you're not sure on how to replace the link then i can help
