Reblogging to support the incredibly hard work of a talented person in the Aeor Is For Lovers Shadowgast Discord! They have been working on this for a very long time, and it’s been amazing watching the process and offering bit of feedback here and there when requested of the group!

It is time- (Or: It Has Begin XD)

Greetings, my dear readers, it has been quite some time. First and foremost I would like to assure you that yes, I'm alive, and no, I have not abandoned my writing. But, I HAVE been distracted by somehing in the last few months, and I think its time to reveal it. I made a game! And not just a game, a Shadowgast game. I would like to present to you:

Beacon Run.

Ko-Fi This game begun its existance as a homework project for a game dev course I took about a year ago. I was supposed to implement a simple chase and pickup game and I thought, "Why use some random sprites when all I can imagine is small chibi Caleb chasing small chibi Essek around while Essek is trying to nom beacons?"

This idea lit a fire in my brain, and I just had to implement it but I had a very short time for the assignment. Iended up implementing something very simple, but I just couldn't let it go afterwards and vowed I was going to finish that small game and get it out for the fandom to play.

It has since been rewriteen, refactored and recoded several times, until I had something workable to show others. This is the place to mention the major contribution the people fo AIFL had on this little game. As I was maing this game, I shared its early stages with the server, and people have been kind in thier enthusasm, gave me ideas and provided invaluable criticism and feedback. They kept me motivated and kept me going through the lows of frustration one gets when coding. I got @bumble-b-goode 's permission to use their designs for the Weezards and drew my own sprites using that as inspiration. I ended up creating most of the assets for this game. Drawing the art assets took quite some time and I've learned a lot in the process.

Beacon Run not big or complicated as a game. In essence, is a tribute and a love letter to the Critical Role community and the CR crew. To the people who brought to life the Mighty Nein and have shared, and continue to share their stories with us on a weekly basis throughout the years. For Liam and Matt, who have weaved the tale of two broken wizards mending each other into better people, and keep their children of ink and paper alive for us to enjoy. The game: You as a player, are randomly assigned a little wizard to play for each match, so you can play as Essek or Caleb. The board dimensions and obstacles and even the flooring art are randomized for each match so each match is different. Your goal: to collect as many Beacons as you can during the allotted time, and end up with more Beacons than your rival which is the other wizard played by the computer. You gain projectiles over time, which are fake Beacons you can throw at the other wizard. If hit, the rival wizard is stunned for a short time, and drops several of his picked up Beacons for you to gather. However, beware! The rival wizard can also shoot you and stun you for a short while, and make you drop beacons as well. (You might notice that Essek gets stunned by sour lemon Beacons, while Caleb gets stunned by hand-knitted wool Beacons XD) In addition, when the rival is hit, he may drop a Magic Abeyance Bead which contains a Chronurgy spell. if you pick it up, it will provide a short time bonus for the match. In short, the game is a small, cozy game, made out of love for the wizards and the fandom, and I hope you'll enjoy it! I it still in the late stages of testing and development, as the feedback players provide is invaluable and lets me find bugs, add ideas and content suggested and tweak the mechanics to make it more enjoyable. So I would very much appreciate feedback, suggestions, con-crit etc. I would be happy to head what you like about it, what you think needs tweaking, ideas of content to add.... you name it! Also it is worth mentioning that as I fix bugs, add content and tweak things, I upload new versions of the game so its worth following the Devlog and updates. The game is avaliable for play in the embedded player on the page, and also available for download to play offline (Though you might need to redownload it with every new version as I don't have an auto updater for it.)

In addition, if you like my work, feel like enabling me to make more of these or just want to buy me a coffee, It is always very much appreciated as it sure helps me stay afloat! Tip Jar

So, I hope you forgive me for my lack of writing for the last few months. I really wanted to get this out. I am trying to keep writing in my spare time, but the muses haven't been with me lately. I hope that now that this is out I can finally get my mind off it XD Stay tuned!

Percy De Rolo 

Anyone else watch Vox Machina in one sitting ? XD 

[ahmoseinarus]

Reblog this if you would not only accept, but welcome fan art, moodboards, etc. of your fics

All of these used to be so common for people to show their appreciation of different fics and authors, and I think it’s a shame people don’t do it anymore. I love seeing fan work for my fics!!

Whumptober 2024

Time to crack my knuckles and start brainstorming! A few hours ago, the amazing Whumptober Team posted the prompts for the 2024 Whumptober Challenge. Let's fuckin' do this! Hop on over and take a look at them and feel free to join the fun! Or message me if one of the prompt set grabs you and you're dying to see that one featuring our boys! No promises, I'm already comin' up with a few ideas myself, but I'm open to suggestions/requests this year! Still sticking to Perc'ildan, happy to bring in the rest of Vox Machina, but Vax and/or Percy will be the focus of these fics, and no, I am not entertaining any ideas involving them with their in-canon pairings. Liam instructed me in Ep 13 of Campaign 1 to ship Vax & Percy, and I said "O Captain, my Captain", and never looked back, SorryNotSorry.

My Briar Stained Saga Fanfiction series on AO3 has a Spotify Playlist now, given that all the chapter titles are song titles!

Story details: Post Campaign 1, does not follow canon, slow-burn Perc’ildan end-game. A very dark, difficult journey of abduction, brainwashing, loss of identity and fall from grace after finding redemption, in which Percival de Rolo finds himself in the claws of Sylas Briarwood. Vox Machina are desperately trying to find him, but time marches on, and Percy is walking by Briarwood’s side more willingly day by day.

Mind the story tags

New screenshots just dropped for season 3…. The looks on their faces back there are terrifying! WHAT DID HE JUST DO?!?! OMG I’m gonna die before this season even starts!!!! He either just confessed to some terrible crime, or just tried to make another really fucking stupid self-sacrificing deal! OR BOTH!!!! Gods dammit de Rolo you absolute little twat!!!

[ahmoseinarus]

Now all I can see in my head is Ludinus taking a deep, dignified breath and lifting his arms in a grand gesture, before flying off the handle and letting out the most utterly deranged screech of “FLUFFERNUTTER!!!”, like he’s auditioning for Iron Maiden, as the final incantation to release Predathos, and then just yeets the fucking god-eater in the general direction of Exandria like a Fast Ball Special…. 😳

……. 🤘<=== (that’s Veth)

I know Ludinus is supposed to be one of the smartest people in the world but every time he starts talking about releasing Predathos, he sounds like Nott trying to explain how setting off a homemade bomb in a tiny room with all of them inside is absolutely 100% going to work.

“Think about this. She throws it. I fire. It explodes. No structural damage, only damage to the creature. That’s how I see it going down.”

perc’ildan shippers shall never forget.

So I posted this

And @mookybear12404 said

And I thought “huge brain idea” and very quickly made this

[ahmoseinarus]

Omg I just can’t fuckin’ even with this 😂😂😂

[ahmoseinarus]

😆😆😆

I don’t necessarily go here but for anyone who wants to see it

Liam O’Brien getting his shirt taken off by a drag queen 😭

[ahmoseinarus]

This is EVERYTHING

obsessed with this video of matt performing bring on the men with a beautiful drag queen

[ahmoseinarus]

Just a doodle I did for the Briar Stained series of Percy being a shit and getting on Sylas’ nerves.

[ahmoseinarus]

I mean… 😏

The Legend of Vox Machina is a deeply philosophical show that asks important questions such as: “what if the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov had a gun?”

[ahmoseinarus]

Percy, with crazy in his eyes: Do you know what this means?

Vax'ildan: It means you haven't slept in three days, Freddy.

[ahmoseinarus]

@nowyoursoulisforfeit omg have you seen this?!?!?

They broke the world for each other.

This one was first published about a month ago on my Patreon. I tried to imagine what kind of portrait would Delilah and Sylas commission a painter to decorate Castle Whitestone have they defeated Vox Machina. I love how they weaponize their sexiness alongside their sheer lack of empathy for everyone but themselves and their evil god to obliterate their enemies. Relationship goals, really.

Sylas and Delilah Briarwood were created by Matthew Mercer and are property of Critical Role.

I miss your fics… when will you start posting again?

Okay, full disclosure here… I’m HOPING to get out the first chapter of “Briar Fount” in May. Also, hoping to get out another chapter of “Blood Feathers”, “The Lord & the Lotus” and “Ghost of a Broken Heart”  sometime in May as well, hopefully one or two of those before the end of April, actually. That being said, progress on them is not going as quickly as I would like, because I finally wandered into Baldur’s Gate III…. 😳 sooooo, needless to say, I’m a little bit distracted…  😅 I am working on them! “Briar” is currently in progress, and I’m working on chapter 6. I want to get to at least chapter 10 before I start posting.
