Green and Purple's dynamic is one of my favorites actually, because Purple despised Green and vise versa; Green could not stand Purple. Dare I protest that Purple hated Green the most out of the quintet?
From how I interpret it, It all boils down to their contrasting personalities, goals, and beliefs. The two share as many similarities as they do differences, and this brings an interesting duo and an enjoyable relationship as the outcome when finally acknowledged.
When basing Green off a surface-level characterization, he's practically this goody-two-shoes. Great at every obstacle he is up against; He is amazing at fighting, quite an architect, and amazing with animals. Skillful with his fishing rod, always running on his two legs, and has quite this interest in musicals. He is numerous, confident, and extravagant ā just as much as he can be absurd, arrogant, self-centered, competitive, and honestly quite cocky and petty. Once he has his mind set to a specific goal, he will do whatever to achieve it. I can respect that!
But I do enjoy my favor on detailing and characteristics. It's up to you how you prefer to perceive it.
I feel as though it's worth crediting Green's forte in combat and parkour as a direct reflection of his established personality and traits. Of course, the entire friend group has this style of analysis sharply ingrained in them, Green isnāt some special guy that stands out in this media, but it's his analysis after all!
There is this defined parkour roll Green does. Officially called a "tumble.ā this swift move is a practical cheat for fall damage. When done correctly, it prevents your knees from experiencing Hindenburg on a miniature scale. When not, yeah, your spine and shoulder blades are absolutely done for. Green is, of course, a master at parkour as much as he is cautious of his surroundings and environment with his key of detailing in mind.
He knows when it's appropriate to quit, but he isnāt at all accustomed towards giving up without a fight, or to give up at all. It's definitely not something in his wordstock. In some contexts itās his strength and confidence depriving off based positive. In more sillier, unserious contexts, heās just stubborn like that. He's a strong-willed stick. What else can I say?
He is aware of his traits of perfection, and he has absolutely no problem on outwardly flexing these skills. However, conflict rises when these traits become overwhelming. He gives himself way too much credit on validation and attention, and this later develops into an addiction to inevitable pleasure by satisfying those around him for his own ingain; to feel held high. (Influencer arc, baby!)
Don't think it's really Green avam if you don't bring up this utter bond he has with his friends. He really holds them high, and he greatly appreciates their presence. He has this deep, close relationship with each and every one of them, and it rather grows when keeping his specialty of seeing everyone right through their own bounds.
But of course, itās due to this naturally observant trait that Green inhabits. This allows him to catch everyone off guard when confronted, and it especially comes in handy when up against.. unfortunate situations. But it always comes with good intent.
He just seems perfect, or at the least likable, no? Come on, he's great at just about everything, and he holds this deep love and care for everyone. He has much to go around. His overbearing demeanor is fun, his conflict on being a people-pleaser perfectly compliments his character, his flamboyance and gestures, it's no doubt on why he's quite the fan favorite within the community. It's no doubt on why he's considered "the best" by the AB team themselves.
ā¦which admittedly, isnāt for everyone. Or more appropriately said, isn't particularly for someone in this context.
Purple as a character keeps strictly towards himself, never allowing anyone to tread past this invisible barrier he had set for himself due to this desensitization he developed from his household. Once he has a word of command set for him, he would do whatever to secure it. He really holds a figure of authority valuable, much over anything and everything else.
Itās just the greater influence on how he was raised, and itās complicated to overcome that. Purple does not quit, he just strategically avoids disappointment.
And funnily enough, (but not at all surprising) he's incredibly anxious. Socially and physically. He is the definition of an awkward wreck if I can put it, but still holds this degree of confidence when finally opposed to a situation of battle. He won't allow his weaknesses to overshadow his favor of combat scenarios after all. That's just not him.
When overwhelmed with negatives, he has this tendency to run away, or to shrink in on himself - like an attempt to disappear from the scene entirely. And this isn't anything new, it's quite frequent and recurring from my standpoint.
Purple has a precise skill in acrobatics, and his elytra perfectly compliments his score. It's why he has such a catering interest towards it. Not at all that he's morally sucky at physical combat; he's incredibly well at combat, always possessing a boxer stance, but in a sense that he's just more keen towards that nice peck of "fresh air", to have just an ounce of control? Who wouldn't like flying around? Itās fun.
That being said, he was made to be a child of someone after all. Or maybe, just to be someone. To be apart of something, to be included?
And neglect is multifaceted, not cartoonishly obvious.
An inconsistency makes children subconsciously mark their caretaker as unreliable, someone who doesnāt meet those needs. It depends how the child perceives their environment overall. It plays a greater role on how they handle these issues, and it reflects on their attachment style.
And It's normal to have different aspects of each quadrant. As the mind is beyond complex, it should only be the case that there are those who won't be beholden to only one attachment styles. When studying an individual, there are so many other factors or psychodynamic theories which may be applied.
Within OrchidāPurple's mom, an Inconsistency of being comforting and attuned towards absent in the next, Purple isn't certain on what to expect, and it shows in how he rather leans from clinging for security towards confiding in himself. This stays pretty outward and prominent throughout the span of the series, but still quite implicit. It's definitely something worth noting when keeping references of Purple as a character, and Purple as a conflict.
And it isn't at all Orchid's fault. That's the most tragic bit for me. She was dealing with her own personal conflict, of courseānot in the right headspace. While not wanting to demonize her, being a bystander is morally unjustifiable in these kinds of scenarios.
He never bothers to reach out in search of comfort within someone when distressed, nor is it his initial reaction. He doesn't really expect to be soothed. He self-loathes. Even with an embrace, it takes a bit to acknowledge it upon returning. Itās this independence, and in this context itās much out of a negative light. Ultimately, he believed his parents' narrative as they're such influential people in his life; sabotaging his own potential from the very fear of failing. And it's quite a common trope if I'm being honest, but I still enjoy it regardless!
He really, really hates accountability, but he knows that itās a necessity and that itās the right thing to enact. He wants to do good, but his directions and beliefs overshadow his will to do so. Purple has a strong direction towards approval as it's the only other distraction presence he is familiarized with when up against grief. He avoids it, he huddles that sorrow deep into mind, doing whatever to suppress it.
His notions towards these views are a direct contrast of Green's own and everything heās familiar with and stands for. He is just plainly not used to it.
Purple never refuses a scenario of combat, but only if it was beneficial for his will to earn validation. He just really seems to hate things that he considers "nonsensical" or an intervention of his bout. It's just annoying, and it makes complete sense for it to be in his perspective. Once his surge of awkwardness from being confronted goes away, heās more than ready to attack, and he isnāt afraid to do so. He doesnāt hesitate, and he knows when itās explicitly okay to get serious.
It shows how he reacts and handles Red and Second. Completely 2v1, and he still managed to rock their shit! Just his dad's influence, like father like son am I right?
If you were to ask me, the set plan by King being interrupted was only to be expected and called for.
And it was Green to be that candidate of said interruption, and for me, that's as perfect as you can get towards setting up a conflicted relationship. And that intervention seems to really, stick to Purple.
With that out of the way, Purple, throughout the entire confrontation did not attempt to fight back, not once. His entire goal was to just break free from his grasp and carry out the plan, and Green was just a complete screw-up to this chain of work. He hates these types of people, who generally come off as burdensome and annoying. I mean, why wouldn't he be?
And Green was just as equally infuriated. Purple was nothing more than a coward who would run away from his consequences and do as heās told. Itās just so not Greenās style or what he's familiarzed with, and itās hard to become accustomed to those who are generally unlikable. People who donāt exactly try ā epecially those who haven't done anything worthy of becoming exactly ālikable.ā
With such bothersome difficulty, it would make sense for it to be tough to see through Purpleās lens, especially when Green is someone who is essentially sheltered with no experience or knowledge than what he's conditioned to. But with that being said, it just.. isn't Green. Far from it, actually. Green isnāt keen on giving up. That's his style, after all. He wants to understand.
Hell, even when Purple was a presumably lost case, Green still continued on chasing after him. Itās just so.. Green. Heās stubborn but thoughtful. As upset as he is (and as he rightfully should be), he reaches out towards logical common sense when that rush washes over, and he steadily observes.
And in the perspective of Purple, he despises Green, or may I say it can potentially reek from a place of subconscious envy?
Green's relationship with his friends is pretty well highlighted in Purple's mindscape. He's actively aware of their status and bond towards each other, and possibly really did want to reach out towards that. He had a place to belong, a place to feel included. A community to belong. But with his personal conflict of longing validation from an authority figure surpassing his longing for a friend group, he completely discards them. He has his priorities and desires, and it really isn't anything new when studying trauma responses.
Green overal was a repeating highlight in Purpleās mindscape. Heās well aware of how observant he is, and this prompts a small somber moment between the two. Green acknowledges that thereās more to Purple than everyone takes him for. And as sweet as this trait is, it comes off as nothing but a mess to deal with on Purpleās end as he just wants to be left alone with his journey of affirmation, in which he believes he needed. (In which Green isnāt predisposed towards giving.)
Green directly held Purple back towards this accomplishment of his goal with his fishing rod in hand. As mentioned, I believe this was his final straw. King's betrayal better strengthening that proxy. And Purple has an eye of clarity towards that.
And when Purple is in his episode, he confesses everything. There's really nothing to lose when you have already lost so much. Is there? Or at least he thinks he did
While Green does sympathize with Purple's story and his own conflict of being perceived as a āgoodā or ābadā person because of his actions, he doesn't exactly affirm any of his values, but acknowledges that he still needs to work on himself, and instills in him hope on doing better.
Forgiveness is a broad topic in itself, stopping who he aided and looked up to can be a strong step on reforming a relationship with the gang from there. Though that wasn't the reasoning for Purple's last stand. He's simply endorsed it because he believes it's the right thing to do.
While Green can't exactly speak for his friends, he still offered that scenario and waved away that pressure of how he would be perceived and how he should perceive himself. To just not force such high expectations and standards on himself. That pressure sucks. It really doesn't have the best toll on him if you can't tell.
Not in a way that he's either of the two personas, not in a way that he's both, but that he just sort of.. exists. And that's okay. And with a caring group, he can begin to heal bit by bit on his own time and reflection.
And Green offers that very well-needed comfort. Purple didn't reach out for it of course, but he accepted it and broke down nonetheless, and It's really sweet how the mini Green and Purple notes remain hugging compared to the rest of the gang until they are replaced by the actual embrace between the two.
And it can also be very possible that Green had to be held back by everyone while Purple went on to sacrifice himself considering their rearranged order. Animation error or not, however you chose to perceive it.

GET ENDLESS DIVE'D BOZO! Ok that may sound alittle too harsh but its true, Oscuri is not having a good time being dragged in there with Sfarx by his evil doppelganger, CD Sfarx, he managed to lure them in his own version of Endless Dive by tricking them into thinking there were formies & GPAs calling for help in an abandoned building but it was a set up to send them into a death trap! Times ticking down all they have is 5 minutes to clear ALL 100 FLOORS to escape feeling the pressure of trying to survive the onslaught took a toll on her physically & when she was being targeted by a replica Float clone, she is knocked down barely hanging on! Enemies from both her & Sfarx's past CD Sfarx pulls from their memories in the simulation to manipulate what they are seeing/fighting in his rigged game! Enemies have been buffed with double defense, speed, & attack power & what makes things worse is that if Oscuri & Sfarx delay any second to try to catch their breath/gain distance the enemies health that they been working hard to whittle down starts regaining quickly! (Think of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Mode) Sfarx isn't struggling at all but Oscuri? She having trouble trying to keep herself alive, at most is throwing HP capsules at Sfarx when he gets damaged taking down bosses however she eventually runs out of them! At floor 30 she gets stabbed in the sides of her stomach making her start to bleed out! Sfarx is able to defeat the Float Clone however CD Sfarx takes the chance to mock her situation. Instead of making enemies spawn right there he laughs manically in the monitor screen, watching them struggle was making him very giddy! Now that he witnessed Oscuri's limit he gets extremely happy. Confident they won't make it CD Sfarx mockery echoes very loudly in the simulation. Making Sfarx very annoyed, stressed, & angry he begins to transform into Linework! Before CD Sfarx can actually notice it, Sfarx blasts the monitor screens to shut off his copy's annoying laughter. Their rage lets them power through enemies with ease as linework, when Oscuri recovers its at the 30 seconds mark grabbing her quickly when a beam of light shows up to escape CD Sfarx's twisted simulation.
Linework Sfarx design by @prismaticquartz

how did you start writing books that had themes? iāve been writing since i was 7 years old and iāve always wanted to write a whole book one day, but i donāt feel like i write with enough intention for any of my stories to keep my interest long enough to write a novel. i love building worlds and characters, and i often understand the themes that i want to explore in a given piece, but i always feel like worldbuilding gets in the way of actually writing a plot or having something to say, or that iām too interested in stuff that doesnāt matter as opposed to actually telling a story. that or i feel like my stuff is too derivative.
So I did the same as you from a very early age, a lot of writing that was kind of directionless, lacking overarching structures. I don't want to say it was immature but in the way of kids playing imagination games, it just kinda.. went on and on with no resolution just pure interaction where any random thing could happen because it seemed like the next step. But for that kind of writing, "the next step" was based off the one directly previous to it. To make the jump to what you describe as books with themes, "the next step" can't be based off the one directly previous to it. "The next step" has to be the extension of every single previous step, including the very first, because the entire story is built from the ground up to be a single unified whole.
I think the jump from the directionless writing to writing A Novel (with all attendant structural conventions - different to fanfic, tv writing, screenplays etc) is that the novel is approached holistically with every single event considered at the same time, instead of each little part examined as a discrete unit that links to the next at the end of the chapter/scene/etc.
What I did was write my entire series out - all three books - in rough draft format, changing it and retconning it freely as I went. the continuity in these drafts sucked and the themes are all over the place but when I was finished with these three book drafts I had every tool at my disposal. at the end of my book 3 rough draft I had worked out all my themes and my events sequence etc. which meant that when I went on to start writing what would become the final draft of stbh (complete rewrites from the ground up, no reusing rough draft prose), I knew from the very beginning exactly how the story would end and it gave me so much freedom and space to approach the full story as a whole, add foreshadowing that wasn't there before, coded hints to how the last book would end (nobody's spotted them yet... as far as I know), and so on
As for themes vs worldbuilding, and what details matter more, ultimately it's for you to decide what you want to focus on. But you also need to understand when a particular element needs to be cut to serve the narrative. If it's something you really really need to include, then you need to restructure the narrative around it (the rough draft -> rewritten first draft method helps a lot with this). There's plenty of plotlines I really liked which I axed in the end because, cool as they were, they broke the causal chain and therefore had to go.
When choosing themes you can approach it not as "what do I like" but "what do I want to say". This should clarify a lot of things. Sometimes what you want to say is "wouldn't that be fucked up or what", it isn't always some deep commentary on the world. For the imimata story I went at it with the initial core of "I am talking about dehumanisation, abuse, and celebrity culture". So I have to wrap my worldbuilding around that, rather than start without direction. The fact that the situation for imimata is so dire is a result of this theme. And so on.
Finally for worldbuilding it is possible to overdo it. I personally get turned off a story very quickly if I'm hit with eighteen walls of exposition and detail unrelated to characters, because I only want one thing and it's disgusting (character interaction), so I'm happy with a very loose canon setting. Not everyone's the same. When you do reveal world building details, link them to your theme. Let's say in Inver my theme was poverty and I want to talk about my worldbuilding around diets. I narrate that through a character who grew up in poverty reminiscing about having to go collect whelks in the bay mud. That teaches us about the physical geography of the city, what the view out to sea looks like, the coastal habitats, the types of food gathered by the poor, and also something about that character as well. Additionally, you might know one billion facts and figures about your setting but do your characters have that knowledge?
Also your own interests vs others' - write for yourself first or you'll be miserable. And if it's derivative or not - idk I mean I just avoid pulling inspiration without twisting it into what I want (and I also avoid pulling inspiration from ppl on my tumblr dash because that's how things get stale). I am a contrary bitch first and foremost and I approach a lot of stuff like "everyone's doing this? well I'm doing the opposite" ... ymmv
#finally for me what helped was ditching the blank slate fish out of water protagonist#everything kinda clicked for writing books when i wrote about someone already entrenched in their world#with their own opinions and biases on this place. and then the worldbuilding doesn't have to be exposited#it can be observed#although i don't think stbh is the best ever example of that lol but it's better than my previous attempts

BIG ROBOT GO PUNCH (im running out of jokes for mech games)
Genre: Mech Game
Touchstones: Armored Core
What is this game?: Mobile Frame Zero Firebrands is a GMless mech game primarily focused on doing minigames for scenes rather than being a free flowing story
How's the gameplay?: MFZ:F uses small minigames rather than a full resolution system for mechanics, as such character creation is mostly just naming your character and giving them a backstory and personality, and gameplay is extremely simple
What's the setting (If any) like?: MFZ:F uses the setting of the already existing Mobile Frame Zero, a lego-based mech war game, the war game itself is actually pretty fun i recommend checking it out too
What's the tone?: It's a pretty damn dire mech setting, its not lookin' good
Session length: 1-2 hours
Number of Players: 3 minimum, you need a character for each faction
Malleability: the system is honestly so simple you could prob twist it into anything but you would likely need to rewrite quite a bit of it to do so
Resources: Uh, none required? i guess?
It's a simple game, but goddamn is it genius in its simplicity
#indie ttrpg#ttrpg community#ttrpg of the week#im actually not gonna do a read more in this one cuz its such a short write up lol

how come you don't like the spiderverse movies? (/genq, i have mixed feelings about them too)
i've made a plethora of posts about this in the past but nothing very concise + i truly don't love alot of my older posts on the topic so i won't link any .......
but Essentially they have been beyond detrimental to Gwen Stacy and most notably Gwen Stacy-65 [Ghost-Spider] as a character lol. In the Sony movies she gets grossly mischaracterized and rewritten, her mythos is ignored almost entirely, her abilities are different, her age and personality are all altered -- and the fact that most of these changes are made purely to make her a more appealing love interest to Miles Morales [giving her more steady morals. changing her from a twenty-something year old to a fifteen year old. watering down her personality into a nothingburger of charming-love-interest.], which is a character that she is Barely even friends with in the comics, with the exception of sitting in a tree [Latour & Bendis Spider-Gwen #16]
ā and this comic is a fucking nightmare scenario !!!. on Earth-8, Gwendolyn Stacy's grand escape from dying a tragically young death consists of her being wedlocked into a celebrity superhero marriage entirely away from home; her "happy ending" consists of marriage with a man that she barely gives a fuck about, and I don't think I need to explain why that is a laughably gross thing to do to a character that was created as a subversion and wraith like force in the face of the beautiful dead girl trope. [ontop of the fact that her and Miles truly do not work together. they are severely incompatible and in completely different age brackets + they are both preoccupied with worlds and love interests of their own. the fact that Latour and Bendis claimed to make this pairing for the sole purpose of 'coining a popular superhero ship' is also fucking annoying lol] which is why it is beyond infuriating to me that Spiderverse saw this comic and pairing and decided that it was *actually* a subversive and multi-verse shattering love story. because of course Gwen-65, a character who has never once shown any romantic reciprocation towards any other character within her source material, would actually love to be this boy's girlfriend and any adversity will be rewritten, rehashed or retconned. it is annoying and grossly misogynistic at it's core.
^ Gwen/Miles aside (though I do find it to be the center of the issues I take with Sony's portrayal of Gwen Stacy, alot of changes have been made to her character to make her a better side piece to his character in these movies.), Gwen Stacy is generally just wildly out of character and leagues more uninteresting than her comic counterpart in these movies ā Jason Latour [the primary person responsible for her original comic characterization & the writer for her very first comic run.] had a hand in writing her for these movies and openly admitted to him seeing it as a "do-over" to rewrite his initial comics, which is crazy given that he was still fucking writing his Spider-Gwen run during the creation process of Into the Spider-verse. laughing crying emoji.
but so anyways. death, a lack of agency, trauma survival and loneliness are all very core parts of Gwen Stacy's character and stories within the Ghost-Spider comics, she is a genuinely interesting character who is extremely tied to her deceased 616 counterpart and the fact that these things are all erased in these movies for the sake of turning her into a different person entirely drives me up a wall -- and these movies haven't been exempt from comic synergy, either. Stephanie Phillips [the writer for Gwen Stacy's current ongoing run] Ghost-Spider is *also* wildly out of character with four previous comic runs being ignored or watered down in their entirety, with the author [yet again] admitting to using these comics as an avenue to rehash and rewrite the character. it is dire and gwen stacy fans have not had a win in their life since like 2017. death loves gwen stacy jot it down. read Latour Spider-Gwen (2015), McGuire Ghost-Spider (2018), McGuire Gwenom vs Carnage (2020), and what the hell maybe even some of Flores' spidergwens .......... and of course reading amazing spider-man & spider-man blue (2011) are required reading as a prerequisite to every Gwen Stacyism.
and she's literally venom in the comics which is seriously badass and awesome










look at my panels boy
#i wrote this all at once and did not proofread so i will probably add more things in the future who's to say. i think this works though ....#gwail#gwen stacy

Unpopular opinion for the ending
After reading everywhere that the majority want for Zenshuās ending:
Natsuko going back to her world and realise that was all a dream
Luke dying like in the original movie
Natsuko meeting a person in real world who resemble Luke and fall in love (Why? I donāt understand! They are different people)
In my opinion, it makes no sense that the anime will end in tragedy like the original movie. The title means literally āremake everythingā, so at least it should end in the opposite way of the original movie. Thatās the minimum.
As for the first point, Natsuko returning to real world does make sense. Even though for me it will be a bittersweet ending.
It makes sense because:
Her lifelong dream is to become a master animator
she has a unfinished job to do
A theme of the anime is that she need to learn about love so that she can represent it in the movie she is working on
However, she can also decide to stay in the isekai:
If she keeps her power, she can animate everything she wants
If becoming an animator was only a mean to feel connected with the movie that impacted her so much, she has no reason to go back
does she have anything she care/she miss in the real world apart her job?
So, to resolve all this point, my hypothesis for an ending is:
The bird director was right, for how much Natsuko tries to correct the story, the end of the world will happen anyway because she is the āgodā of the world and is omnipotent
Natsuko is about to lose the battle, but she came up with a last method to save everyone thus rewriting the story. Although she loved the original, she thinks that it isnāt wrong to create her own version of the story
Natsuko will draw a time-machine (Steins Gate reference maybe) and send Luke and everyone in the past at the beginning of the movie, when the Nine Soldiers were just founded. And they keep the memory of the āfutureā
Natsuko canāt go with them, she will awake in the real world
Thanks to the isekai experience, she is able to complete the āHatsukoiā movie and began to relies on her coworkers. The movie will receive mixed critics, but she is satisfied with the results anyway because she could create the story she wants (not sure if she will go for an happy ending or one in which the couple will separate)
After this movie, Natsuko decide to go on hiatus. After awaking she was absorbed in work and had no time to settle her feeling or feel heartbroken because she had to separate from everyone. She wonders if what she experienced was a dream or not, but prefer to think it was real. She wonders if the time travel really worked
in the meantime, the time travel worked. Luke and co still remember of Natsuko and with the knowledge of the future they managed to prevent all the void attacks without losing anyone
The bird director just observe the new timeline and thinks that nothing will change anyway. She thinks the character are just postponing the inevitable tragedy, but she began to get annoyed that they managed to survive for very long
The bird director try to test the characters, put them in dire situation to trigger the tragedy, but they never lose to her. The director realises she is losing control of the world
On the other hand, while on hiatus, Natsuko reflect about her purpose in life. Since she was a child, her dream was to become a master animator and she did achieve that dream. She even got promoted to director. But why did she tried so hard to become an animator in the first place? She loves drawing, but once she entered in the āindustryā she lost her way. All she does is working
To clear her mind, she decides to watch A Tale of Perishing once again. When the movie was about to enter the ādepressing arcā, the movie stopped. Natsuko thinks there is some problem with her TV, but the screen began to flash and when she open her eyes she is once again in the world of the movie
Like the first time, she is in a desert, but the void doesnāt attack her. She began to walk toward āLast Townā but the the town is not called āLast Townā. She wonders in which point of the movie she is
Then the void alarm rings and she see from afar Luke and Unio going to fight the voids, she goes to a place to see the scene better and then spotted Justice (can still fly) and the Nine Soldiers that were supposed to be dead. That wasnāt a scene of the movie she is familiar with. The situation seemed very dangerous and she fears someone could die, her power awakes and manages to destroy the void army.
While Luke was elaborating what happened, Natsuko appears behind him. It took him some time to realise he wasnāt dreaming and that Natsuko has really return. On the other hand, Natsuko didnāt expect him to remember her
After exchanging information about what happened during the separation, the bird director pay Natsuko a visit. The director declares that she has lost control of the characters and the world. She also states that the world seems to love Natsuko, thatās because Natsuko love the movie more than anyone even the original creator

codex: notes from the inquisition
i'm rewriting that letter (THAT one; minor veilguard spoilers for those who haven't gotten there) not because i didn't like it (i loved it) but because i can and because i wanted ellinor to be able to respond. tag list: @elfroot-and-laurels @captastra @mournholdmushroom @vvakarians @galaxywhale @creaking-skull

My love,
It seems one of the pups got to my half-written work before I could, or before Tara could, for that matter. Sheās a good mum and usually keeps a close eye on all of them, but if it takes a village to raise a child, Iād dare to say it takes two villages to raise a litter of mabari.
Iāve wrapped up all I could at Skyhold. Our quarters here felt strange enough to return to after all of these years. They feel stranger still without you here beside me. But I leave the fortress behind in good hands, and although Iām surprised at how many Inquisition veterans so quickly answered our calls for aid, I am eternally grateful. I make for Minrathous tomorrow morning, though I loathe to imagine how Iāll fare at sea again for the first time since returning to Ferelden from Kirkwall. I know what youād sayātake the longer route through Orlais. But first, we both know thatās counterintuitive to the urgency at hand, and second, Iād rather let Dorian win a score of chess games against me before I spend a minute longer in Orlais than I have to, for anything.
Speaking of Dorian, he told me in his most recent correspondence that youād already tried to adopt about ten cats from the streets of Minrathous. Darling, we both know Cat isnāt fond of competition, weāve got a full house as it is with the new pups. How do we plan to feed these cats? To house them? To transport them back to Ferelden? Please considerā¦reconsidering.
I digress. Ellinor, I know you are more than capableāof anything, of everything and more that I could never dream of doing myself. You are the strongest person I know. Still, it goes without saying that I worry for you. I fear for your safetyāitās kept me awake, tossing and turning, every night since you left my side. All these years, and Iāve never been able to stop worrying. If I could be there now, be your sword and your shield and your advisor all over again, Iād do it in a heartbeat. In a single breath. All this is to say please stay safe and be careful, and I will be there as soon as my feet can carry me.
All of my love, yours, eternally, Cullen
~~~
Darling,
Youāre right about the urgency weāre dealing with. I donāt even have to say this, because youāve seen it firsthand as well as I have. But in better times, I certainly would suggest you take the longer route to get here. I know you despise Orlais. Believe me when I say youāre going to despise Tevinter as well. In fact, when I told our friends you were on your way, Harding took on an especially sympathetic expression, and Dorian merely cackled in my face. Thereās magic abound here, love. And I know youāve gotten more used to it, and I know you cope better now than you used to, but I still need you to know. Itās not like the south. Itās unchecked and itās everywhere, and I just want you to be prepared.
Maevaris is looking forward to meeting youāDorianās all but sung your praises to herāand so is Rook, though she reminds me at times of Hawke and I imagine your personalities may clash a bit, were the situation at hand not so dire. Morrigan is here as well. I can just about see your eyes rolling as you read this. So get it out of the way now, before you arrive.
As soon as your feet can carry you? Poor Lady. Sheās quite spry for a mare her age, and itād wound her to know you discredit her efforts this way. I promise not to tell her you said that.
Iām sorryāitās not fair for me to joke. I know you mean every word that you say. In truth, it hurts my heart to see you worry this way, especially after all the pains weāve gone through to build a quiet life for ourselves after the Inquisition. I wish it were not so. I wish this wasnāt happening. I wish we were at home again, picnicking in the fields with no bigger concern than what fruits we want from the market the next day, or which friends we want to visit with next. I hate that I have to be here. I hate that Iām without you. Worst of all, I hate that you have to travel to Tevinter of all places just to be with me again. If it were in my power, Iād have made sure you never set foot in the city of Minrathous, because I know youāre going to hate it here.
Dorian saw me write that. He said you need to grow a thicker skin.
Anyway. Iām being careful. I promise. I will see you soon, my love.
Yours, Ellinor
P.S. I did not adopt ten cats. Dorian made me put one back because apparently it belonged to the fruit merchant, and I was āstealing.ā

Artwork I did but also here's some information on Renata!
Renata is a character that's still a work in progress so stuff could change in her bio I'm split between making her half human or a human.
Info:
Her name isn't a real name by the way her original name is Violet Aster, born into a family that had a stable life and good wealth it was simple but she was happy with her that and who wouldn't be? Her father was an archeologist traveling to many countries around the world his research being on demonology and his curiosity of the being named Sparda, one day he brings something home to do research Renata grew curious of the dagger wanted to look at the odd object that was what looked to be made from bone. Her father forbade her to go near it for the time being until he had proper equipment for themselves to look at the object since he knew how she was when it came to his research, ever and always curious.
Thus the day her good life takes a halt, her family is slaughtered by demons, nearly on the cusp of death the dagger reveals itself to her in her time of need and urgency. Granting her a deal of survival and vengeance and to become her blade in exchange for a promise it made a long time ago. ( I am still trying to figure that out my brain is legit dead so bare with me. )
The weapon revealed its name to be " Donn. " and acts as a mentor... And an annoying one at that. Donn is a demon arm yes, but like any other demon relies on it's instincts and survival sometimes taking control of her when needed if a situation becomes too dire. She uses the money that she obtained from her family to investigate into the demons from her own fathers research taking everything else with her but leaving her home behind to live in a secluded apartment building now doing her research on Sparda.
After the events of dmc 3 happened these two goobers, ( Dante and Renata ) become " good friends " with eachother that were once enemies, now working and living together. Funny how that happens. But now for some wholesome stuff here.
Because of being reminded of the past, Renata will have breakdowns not wanting to be bothered by anyone. What she had to lose has really affected her and typically just wants to be left alone, Dante tends to try to help make her feel better, he sneakily steals her sketchbook to write or scribble things in it ( btw this leads to her to getting a new seperate one because he kept drawing on all of the blank pages, she doesn't mind it however, ) usually asking " do you want to talk? " " you want to get pizza? " " I got us Icecream! " and so on sometimes goofy stuff which she secretly enjoys and finds it cute.
( bro I fucking love cute headcanons they make me feel so damn happy let these two be happy fr on god bro RGFGRUEH )
Alright that's all I got. For now as I said there will still be some changes and rewriting ( also not the best writer like I said I am still also trying to figure out lore and timelines because as I've said I don't wanna look like dumb dumb whilst also having some creative freedom. ) also I dunno if I should do Oc x canon so it's why I put the quotes on them being friends. Too shy to do it man lmao.

Monster Spotlight: Vilderavn

CR 16
Neutral Evil Medium Fey
Bestiary 5, pg. 268
Unlike our last few articles, these horrors are decidedly not just little guys, and are in fact one of the most vicious Fey we've ever seen. Unlike many malevolent Fey which are merely born from mortal misery and anguish, Vilderavn were directly created by an unnamed fey lord for the express purpose of destroying mortal armies and kingdoms, something they excel at to such a degree that they make excellent overarching villains in a campaign featuring a looming war and political intrigue. A Vilderavn, more than any other monster we've seen in several weeks, is not a monster to simply be dropped on the party! These bloody birds thrive at being shadowy puppetmasters behind a conflict, advisors to (what the party believes is) the Big Bad, or even potential backstabbing allies and resources to the party themselves, turning on them at the climax of the adventure!
And the best part is that it's extremely unlikely the party will see it coming. Don't think it's just as easy as spotting an ominous black knight with a raven motif; Vilderavn are accomplished shapeshifters with an extremely wide repertoire of possible forms, able to take on the form of any Small or Medium Humanoid, a black-feathered Peryton, a wolf, or a Dire Wolf. You may find it strange that a raven-themed knight doesn't turn into a raven, and that's because it already is one! The above picture? That's after it's shapeshifted. A Vilderavn in its NATURAL form is a gigantic raven, and this is the form it uses to swoop over battlefields and kingdoms it plans to destroy... and to appear before prospective allies as an omen of fate, offering nobles, soldiers, and mages its skill as an advisor, an oracle, and spellcaster to give them the edge they need in the coming war.
If you can't believe some ostensibly smart people could be so easily tricked into believing a dog-sized bird is here to help them, don't be so judgmental! That might seem suspicious to someone from Earth, but on Golarion the culture surrounding such events is quite different; after all, not only do stories of heroes cursed into the forms of animals and deities appearing to people in the shapes of animals abound, but the Psychopomps as a whole are often associated with carrion birds and possess powers over fate and fortune, both of which Vilderavn can manipulate with their powerful spells and Raven Hexes. Those Hexes have numerous uses both in and out of combat, one of which includes the ability to send Dream spells to up to 6 people a day, letting them sculpt a first impression LONG before they appear physically before their target.
This isn't even getting into their skills, such as +30 to Bluff and +21 to Diplomacy (and further heightened by their Charm Hex), or their spells, such as at-will Suggestion or a 1/day Mass Suggestion to steer opinions, send anyone who could call their bluffs out on errands, and create trust where there was none before, or even a 1/day Modify Memory to completely rewrite a victim's knowledge of events until the fey appears to be some sort of saint or savior. They can also offer a Limited Wish once per month to a mortal being to sweeten any deal they make, making them seem trustworthy even as manipulative malevolence swells within their hearts.
Even if appearing as an animal doesn't work, they can freely change into generic wise sages, charismatic nobles, intelligent generals, or imperfect copies of just about anyone... unless they pull a kill-and-replace. Any creature killed by a critical hit from their bite (including a coup de grace if they're unconscious or helpless) has their soul devoured by the fey, and from there on out, the Vilderavn not only has the ability to perfectly assume their form, but has access to all of their memories, making their imitation literally flawless unless someone can see through their disguise with magic (and it will likely HAVE to be magic, because their Bluff and Disguise shoot up to +40 when imitating a devoured victim). Even then, good luck convincing anyone of what you see, as everyone else is likely under the raven's dewclaw as it steadily kills its way into more and more important positions until, eventually, it can take command of events entirely.
Wow, all this and we haven't even gotten to what it can do in combat! We're going to have to put the rest of this under a cut!
Vilderavn tend to avoid combat right up until the point they can destroy an entire army with a single blow to its leadership, right after it's spend weeks or even months carefully sculpting their confidence by leading them to numerous smaller victories. Until then, they serve as excellent advisors and powerful spellcasters, able to use Dispel Magic at-will to shield themselves and their allies from enemy magic, Detect Thoughts at-will to sniff out dissent and betrayers among the ranks (along with anyone who could view them with suspicion), and Scrying at-will to spy on anyone who lacks protection from such invasive magic. They also have a handful of constant spells which make it almost impossible to sneak anything past them: Deathwatch, True Seeing, and Tongues. No vampires, illusionists, or hidden conversations in foreign languages will corrupt and mislead the leader the raven is trying to corrupt and mislead!
And speaking of corruption, Vilderavn are masters of the corrupt art of curses. Immune to curses themselves, they can freely cast Bestow Curse to personally torment anyone they desire and Geas 1/day to force annoyances on petty quest, and their aforementioned Raven Hexes also have a menagerie of debilitating curses and debuffs among them as well, including the crushing Misfortune, the action-economy-ruining Agony, the absolutely Fighter-punishing Retribution, and the ever-reliable Evil Eye... and capped off by the damning Dire Prophecy, a permanent -4 penalty to not only their AC, but most d20 rolls as well, including saving throws. The Prophecy can also be cashed in at any time by either the Vilderavn (if it's nearby) or the DM (if it's not), imposing a -18 penalty on the victim's AC or on an attack roll, combat maneuver check, skill check, or saving throw.
Where's the -18 come from? Well, they use their Hexes as if they were an 18th level Witch, and all of their Hex effects (as well as the DC, which is 25) are modified by the fey's Charisma rather than its Intelligence. Powerful enough on their own, anyone who's played alongside a high-level Witch knows that Hexes are extremely potent force multipliers when the rest of the party can take advantage of them, and this means if a Vilderavn has allies, it can safely sit back and use its 110ft fly speed to keep it out of trouble as it debilitates the party with its powerful Hexes... and caw-haw-haws at them with Cackle, keeping the punishment of Misfortune, Agony, or Evil Eye rolling round after round as its allies tear into the debuffed party.
UNLIKE a Witch, forcing a Vilderavn into melee doesn't mean you're home free, oh no. They're dangerous enough in their raven form, where Bloodbird tacks a stacking 1d6 bleed damage onto its Claw-Claw-Caw-Caw attacks, the former doing 1d6+11 and the latter 1d8+11. If you think that's a mistake on my part, no, the Vilderavn can indeed make TWO bite attacks with its beak whenever it Full-Attacks thanks to a constant Haste effect on itself. If that beak damage looks low, it really isn't, because it's got a critical range of 15-20, threatening a critical hit 25% of the time instead of 5%. With a single Full-Attack, the unkind knight can deal an average of about 70 damage AND stack up to 4d6 bleed onto a single victim, then fly backwards the next round and strike them with a Hex or two before flying back in to do it all over again.
But of course, it's rare for a Vilderavn to have allies it doesn't plan to slay itself. When it has already used (or cannot use) its spells or Hexes to weaken its foes, or when it simply wishes to display its martial skill and fight on even terms with a human, it takes the shape of the Raven Knight, shedding its natural armor and its terrible beak and claws but gaining +5 Full Plate and a +5 Cruel Keen Falchion. Its AC goes from 34 to 38 in its knight form, and its melee goes from four weak natural attacks to four powerful sword swings (despite its low BAB; remember a permanent Haste gives it an extra attack!) dealing 2d4+21 damage... while also keeping the same 15-20 critical hit range AND the stacking bleed, potentially dealing around 50 damage with one swing instead of needing four attacks to achieve the same result.
So, let's see, that's the offense, how about the defense... High AC, check. High saves? +17/+21/+18, check. DR 15/Cold Iron and Good, check. SR 27, also check. Permanent Freedom of Movement? Of course, we can't have a battle end with a single Hold Monster now, can we? No elemental immunities, but it IS immune to energy drain, death effects, and all forms of fear. I'm also receiving a note about its saves, hold on. Ah, no, my mistake, its saves are actually +22/+26/+23, because the Vilderavn DO have power over fate, which includes the ability to add +5 to any one saving throw of their choice each round as an immediate action, something they're likely to save when they're targeted by a powerful Save-or-Suck that they're not immune to, such as petrification, sleep effects, or nausea. There's no per-day limit on this ability, only per-round, so maybe ask your allies to pile on all their most powerful abilities at once?
Hah. 'Allies.' There's no one here that's your friend. At least, that's what you're going to think while in combat with the Vilderavn; anyone within 30ft of it is not only vulnerable to its Frightful Presence, but its FP is also attached to Shatter Loyalties, an ability that causes anyone affected by it to treat all other creatures as an enemy, thwarting not only teamwork, but teamwork feats, as well as flanking bonuses, movement in tight spaces, and of course: willingly accepting beneficial effects. Any creature whose loyalty has been shattered has to be forcibly administered any positive effect (and is allowed to make a save to resist such effects), and doesn't count as a valid target for any effect or ability that counts 'allies.' This shattering effect lasts until the victim is no longer within 30ft of the fey and bypasses fear immunity entirely, so the party Paladin may not be shaken up by the Frightful Presence, but if they fail the DC 26 Will save anyway, suddenly all their beneficial auras shut off for everyone else, leaving them more vulnerable to the raven knight's fierce spells and Hexes.
If the Vilderavn pauses its assault momentarily when it has someone at death's door, do not mistake it for a show of mercy. Remember that they can tear the souls from their mortal victims, but they can only do so while in raven form, as Soul Eater very specifically triggers from its bite attack. A party held at bay by its magic or laid low by its damage may only be able to watch in horror as it assumes raven form, climbs atop their fallen friend, and drives its beak deep into their chest, shearing their heart from their body and their soul with it (frightening everyone who sees it, or shaking them up if they succeed a DC 27 Will save). From there on out, it has full access to their memories, their personality, their very face, ready to destroy their lives and everything they had ever hoped to create... and if the DM is especially cruel, it may use Modify Memory on the only conscious witness to the act to make them think their ally is fine, that they managed to get away from that fiend! A fiend slithering its way into the party as it wears the fallen allies' face. Waiting for the chance to tear hope away from you all one final time.
You can read more about them here.

the untapped Enemy Of The State Potential is one of boones best funniest traits tbh like ok since im in charge of Awesome Flawless FNV Remake Available Exclusively On My Beautiful Mind im rewriting boones personal #journey arc primarily by expanding on it because i mean yeah fatalistic thinking and the question of agency vs authority and having to live with having done something inexcusable and The Denying Of Closure are good themes but to me theyre not enough here. that lack of closure about something that really intrinsically can never entertain the idea of closure is all well and good, but... lets keep going lets put a pin in that. lets turn once again to boones potential for becoming wanted by the ncr government. boone i know you want to go apeshit. its time to admit that its always been about the system youd been conditioned into never questioning and which you continued to mentally cling to as you felt there was no other purpose or direction to your existence in the wake of all the disastrous events in your life. but its time to develop a grasp on your agency as a human being boone. and yes some of that is going to make you feel worse because, Well. The Complicity. bitter springs. but you know what, it is also freeing and the right thing to do. release your inhibitions feel the rain on your skin. youre already there just look around you. youve cut the ropes that held you back, now its time to rip and shred the ropes that still are wrapped around you. its there. youve physically gotten out. and its time to evolve. "now if iiiiii were to assassinate the president š¤" i know you want to. im not saying you should but i know youve thought about it before. "guess that settler was well-connected" yes isnt that fucked up i know you think thats fucked up. and oh your friend the courier just did something fucked up at mccarran and all these ncr soldiers and staff are trying to shoot them? of course its the courier youre defending when faced with the immediate choice i mean if its between "fuck the ncr. die" and "fuck the person im ride or die for because theyre a force of destiny that entered my life to change it one way or another and now i care about them deeply. die" well of course youre choosing the path of Leave My FACKING FRIEND Alone You Beasts. but of course the situation doesnt have to be this immediately dire. it doesnt have to stem from an immediate danger to your new object of loyalty. we dont have to let it go down this particular route. no need to have something this drastic happen. you can reach this conclusion simply by giving into the desire youve repressed for years to go apeshit at the ncr government and every arm of its hegemony. that bubbling rage? that "if i let this fester inside me im gonna do a fucking murder-suicide about it"? that in a certain timeline you do in fact end up doing a murder-suicide about? thats not just hateful desperation. thats a feeling, hitherto bottled up and unrefined and volatile, that you should allow to breathe and photosynthesize and grow into something beautiful and true and let it blossom and bear fruit. boone, there is no need to feel alone and helpless and directionless in your unfulfilled desire to cut the umbilical cord.
so. enough rationalizing things as rotten spots and necessary burdens in an otherwise inevitable righteous system, you knowwwww thats pure bullshit. my advice, do some reading. reading is fundamental, and luckily for you, you literally know a very literate anarcho-communist. i can guarantee you that you could walk up to arcade and be like "šš hi gannon soooo i want to get into critiques of capitalism and of the military, and into anarchism and other leftist theory. i want to know about Other Ways to run things. could you give me some recommendations? for books and essays and so on. thanks" and he would be like "boone, yes. Absolutely. yes. i will prepare a reading list for you. gosh." and youll be given a stack of books, with notes and a directory. however, if you two are currently on really bad terms to the point where he doesnt wanna talk to you at all, hey, theres other followers of the apocalypse that would be happy to help. providing education is literally one of their main things. either way, youll finally feel vindicated about things that used to make you feel like you were just going insane. boone you werent going insane you were in fact being onto something. baby that time you saw an ncr military police on the strip facing away from you and there was a loose brick on the ground and it was calling to you like the green goblin mask? that time you were at camp forlorn hope and folks kept saying shit like "that red beret is looking good soldier" and you didnt respond or even look at them because you were focused on containing the urge to grab them by the shoulders and start shrieking? well you see those are actually instincts that tell us you have potential. you have the power to end these patterns. you want to. you need to. thats where you should go. theres a world of ideas waiting for you to tap into and be liberated by. you have nothing to lose but your pitiful pension (you can even keep the beret like who cares). there is so much you can do. its not about allegiance or moral debt or soothing personal guilt, its about doing the right thing. there are so many paths in front of you. also youre trans. like, that one also isnt just you going insane, its real and its right and its you, you are transgender
#craig boone#catherine boone#had to make it catherine flavored even if it means a narrower audience of the post. so what. so what. shes real.

WinterFrost Fics
IronFrost Fics
Lokis return by Moonybird I Chapters: 32/32 I Completed Loki Lives
Takes place after "Avengers Endgame." Just a humorous little, what if, what if our dear god of mischief had a return by the very end of the movie?
Coalescence by MisstressSezza I Chapters:15/15 I Completed Canon Divergence - Avengers: Endgame, Avengers Family, Kid Loki
Innocence, once lost, can never be restored, and those most aware of the horrors of the world ā those with intimate knowledge of terror and violence and blood ā were always the first to lose, and also the most keenly aware of what they had lost. Age and truth killed the child within. And Loki was very, very old. *Set post-Infinity War/during Endgame*
I'm Listening by CourtesyTrefflin I Chapters:17/? I Canon Divergence - Avengers, Mind Control, Brotherly Love
Loki talks. Thor listens. It changes everything. Or, Iron Man doesn't find Thor as quickly after he took Loki off the quinjet, and the brothers have a much needed conversation with unexpected revelations which sets off an unforeseen series of events.
Tony's New Assistant by MarbleGlove I Chapters:38/38 I Completed AU - Canon Divergence
A trickster god does not go about acquiring power by brute force. AKA, the one where, instead of becoming a supervillain when he fell to Earth, Loki somehow ended up as Tony Stark's personal assistant.
Life In Reverse by @veliseraptor I Chapters 44/44 I Completed Alternate Universe, Loki's not good but he's working on it, Friendship
Home is where you make it. Or, the AU where Loki falls to Earth after Thor, wanders around trying to work out what to do with himself, and somehow ends up working for SHIELD. (Mostly because supervillains are so plebian.)
Rules of Hospitality by hauntedbotanist I Chapters 1/? I Loki Series, Loki & Odin, Loki as God of Stories
He has visitors sometimes. They are more familiar than not, to his chagrin.
Blue is the colour of life, yet it remains unloved by Elicrpse I Chapters 24/? I Loki God of Stories, Not Canon Compliant with Movie: Thor: The Dark World, powerful Loki, bamf Loki Loki & Thor, Loki & Loki's Children, Avengers Team Members & Loki
Loki, once the god of lies, now rots in a cell built to erase meaning. No illusions. No voice. Until Thor arrivesānot with chains, but with a warning: Midgard is unravelling. Memories shift. People forget. Reality is being rewritten. Freed into a world that looks like Earth but behaves like fiction, Loki finds himself tangled in a war of edits and echoes. The Fates are watching. The Avengers are wary. And somewhere between myth and algorithm, someoneāor somethingāis rewriting the rules. With Thor at his side and old enemies for uneasy allies, Loki must decide: To forget or to be forgotten.

You do not have to walk on your knees by @veliseraptor I Chapters 1/1 I 5+1 Things, Possessive Loki, Rescue
It's not that he's invested in keeping them alive. The idea of someone else killing them first, though, is a bit offensive. Or: a funny pattern starts to emerge between dire situations involving various Avengers. "When you started thinking that Loki might be looking out for them in some kind of weird, possessive, only I may kill you sort of wayā¦that was a sign youād been in this business too long."
life's great lie by @laeveteinn I Chapters 1/1 I Loki series, Time Travel Fix-It, AU - Canon Divergence
Loki stares at his hands, slowly realizing that magic still works in the TVA. Perhaps not every kind, but Asgardās sorcery can take hold here- in particular, Asgardās illusion magic. Lokiās proven it with every step heās taken. If magic didnāt work at all, heād be entirelyĀ blue. (Or: even beyond the edges of space and time, he is Loki of Asgard.)
In Want of a Boon by RUHLSAR000 I Chapters 1/1 I Loki series, Loki & Odin, Loki as God of Stories
Haunted by watching his son fall from the shatter rainbow bridge, there is nothing Odin won't do to find out what became of him, even if it means breaking through the fabric of space-time. So when he finds out there is a person, a guardian, protecting and watching the timelines, he knows he must seek a boon from this God of Stories to find his son. But the face that greets him reeling.
