do you have any thoughts on Placide from look outside? Extremely tertiary character but he has charmed me for some reason. Weird snuffleupagus boiler man.

i wanna thank him for his hard work sooo much

LET ME THANK YOU PLACIIIDE. having him watch from the pipes is a small price to pay for working water. ESPECIALLY hot water

Good morning everyone!

We have some exciting news this morning. We not only have updated and reworked the Nailmaster class, but we also added a new subclass as well: The Rush Style Nailmaster! Who's art was drawn by @furiouskettle (aka @crankyteapot) who also did the art for the other Nailmaster subclass pictures.

@darksnowman13 has completely overhauled this class with a dedicated focus on damage and crowd control, which we think everyone will enjoy.

The link to the updated Nailmaster is here: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/bSiIkziOKjsX

beh, take my gabumon abbies (in both ways lol)

AAAA SHES SO CUTE!!

[furiouskettle]

You like digimon?

vaguely? I've played some digimon games, watched some of the anime... i could not name a single one of them except agumon but i am fond of them regardless

[furiouskettle]

i’m so interested in ur oc abby does her skin have separate consciousness… is their relationship like commensalism or parasitism? (presuming maybe not mutualistic bc the skin seems to be crawling away in that one pic as if to say get me outta here)

isdgkhgdkh idk if any type of symbiosis is a good descriptor... its her skin!!! she grew it herself! it just so happens that it came off. she wears it and she feels gross and dry and crusty if she goes a while without it. would you apply a symbiosis label to your own skin???

The skin itself has no opinions other than just trying to wrap around something and trying to crawl away if something hurts it. It doesnt have a consciousness in that it's about as intelligent as a jellyfish. Idk if jellyfish have consciousness but thats what im comparing it to.

in which i put sam in a timeloop

au idea idk what to do with so im setting it loose. feel free to borrow it if you wanna!

setup:

what is says on the tin! Sam wakes up in bed and does not resist the urge to get up and look out the window.

Sam wakes up in bed and decides not to look out the window.

The events of the game happen as usual but the loop is reset to day 1 every time sam dies or gets transformed/assimilated/unravelled/etc. He remembers previous "runs" but it takes a few loops for him to gain that awareness proper. The previous day is generally pretty hazy for him but certain details may stick out / he'll remember stuff that comes up a lot.

Supposedly the only way to break it is to get in contact with The Visitor. this locks this au into the completed ritual endings (denial/truth) who knows if this actually breaks it but he's BASICALLY immortal far as we know so it'll take him a while to find out

timeloop is only fully consistent on day 1 - the rest of the days will have little differences that can build up.

some other characters who get to be aware of the loop:

Sybil is sort of aware of the timeloop but I imagine it's about as hazy as her own memories so she gets really intense deja vu.

Jasper is also plagued with deja vu but he doesn't get to keep any loop memories.

Edwin: idk what he can do with this information.

Roaches: aware of the loop but doesnt care.

Mask: possibly aware????? idk to what degree or what they even do about it.

Spine: whatever edwin did to it let it retain vague loop memories. (better than sybil, worse than sam)

the fun stuff to consider for au:

sam having to go through the whole "OH I DIDNT REALISE YOU COULD SAVE JOEL"

sam, especially tired on one run, just letting in people that he knows are fine without any question and THEY start to worry that he's a serial killer or smth

Sam calling people by name before they get to introduce themselves

idk if he can HELP jeanne before it gets particularly bad but maybe he can check on on her more before the heads get a chance to eat too many ppl?

stops leigh's chase in her tracks by just giving her a really bored look. she's at a loss and really annoyed bc HEY. RUN, IDIOT. WOULD IT KILL YOU TO SCREAM A LITTLE?

gets into the darkroom at some point somehow (idk if violently or not. could be either) and gets to know abt lyle's project. fun!

tries to punk-proof his room. despite all his efforts it never works. he tries to make it as unappealing as possible and they just make fun of him for having a nasty bedroom as they take over it.

I love Lyle... Lyle is my favorite.

Forfit all mortal possessions to Lyle....

that's cool! i dont know how to respond to asks like this

[furiouskettle]

I am so itching to hear more of your takes/headcannons on Hellen's character. You seem to have a different grasp from what I've seen, and I'm really curious about it 👀

(You seem to really embrace the brutal/maniac aspects really well based on that one fic you wrote)

eheheheheee thank you!!

I looove hellen's whole standoffish vibe. She's pretty particular in her mannerisms and i enjoy it sooo much.

Some Hellen components that are vital to me personally:

She's a really confident person. She knows what she's doing pretty much all the time (or at least she's definitely acting like she does). are you going to argue with her? better have a good reason for it. (She's fine not taking charge, but her boundaries are ROCK. SOLID.)

Very direct and blunt when speaking.

i LOVE that despite this (or because of it?) she's pretty bad at emoting and/or expressing herself.

hellen if you want the knife just say so.

she keeps LOOMING instead of saying she likes something. She doesn't do it all the time but it's happened more than once. can't tell if she's doing it intentionally or if she's like. "i really want the thing but i dont wanna overstep"

Hard to gauge if she's good with kids cause she does start interacting with rat kid like approaching a small animal? so i like to think she doesn't like dealing with kids all that much but she's not awful at it. (ratkid being the exception but also ratkid is a little critter)

(that being said her tone gets so much gentler when talking with rat kid? so it seems her bluntness is just towards adults - could be that she just has her guard up way more around people?)

Dutiful. sometimes the duty is eviscerating some inhuman horror, sometimes it is washing the dishes cause the guy who let her crash at his place made dinner. (sometimes it's letting the guy know that he's doing a horrible job of keeping his plant alive)

hot sauce enjoyer.....

I don't think she's exactly... insecure, about her face. I don't think she likes it much, but she seems to have accepted it as fact that her face alarms people. (hence why she hides it. it's quite bothersome to try to talk to someone when they keep screaming)

(I headcanon it's less that it's scary and more something abt the spiral that wigs (almost) everyone out whether they're prepared to see it or not)

(one time i had her take her mask off and she scared herself lol)

she was probably already tall and intimidating before so she's kinda used to it in a way.

She's pretty particular about her bloodlust it looks like??? she tries out the blood ghoul game and immediately decides "nah not my thing" but she's SOOOOOO into the wraithscourge game. maybe she loves the whole hunt part of killing things and it just isnt right without it.

i think its so funny that she DESPISES crosswords. She lets you know this very clearly.

thinks abt her coming to your door to ask for a place to stay.... like. she didnt have to do that, she's totally capable of just taking it by force if she wanted to.

if i recall, if you attack her at the door, she'll just say "oh. okay." AS IF IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE SHE ASKED FOR HELP HAS ATTACKED HER...

just. idk. it feels like she's putting a LOT of trust in sam.

anyway I LOOOOVE character that are kind but not nice. that's Hellen to me.

I feel like sometimes ppl make her too soft or shy/internally anxious for my liking... ok i am also guilty of making hellen more sweet than i feel she is so like. I Get It. but also

(this is NOT a critique of anyone's thing btw you guys have fun!!! 😎👍)

anyway this is long and i feel i havent even exhausted all the things to say abt hellen but i really should go sleep

[furiouskettle]

thouts on papineau? 👁👁

i think he's cool! i dont have a good read on him tho bc i got him so late in my game tho... i respect his quest so much

[furiouskettle]

Do you have some extra headcanons about failed ritual Sam? I really like your art of him

hmmm... nothing specific, really! my own interpretation of him fluctuates all over the place bc theres so many ways flawed ritual sam could go! Mostly i think he just gets depressed about his mutation if he stays lucid but he's not special in that regard

tbh i just like to vaguely think abt scenarios where he goes about surviving the post apocalypse and trying to rebuild things with his local community once the visitor leaves.

[furiouskettle]

Do you have any ships you fuck with? Or are you not really care about/for any of them

I don't have any that have gripped me much (tbh this might be due to LO's short timeline - i'm a slowburn enjoyer and two weeks is NOT enough time.) BUT that being said. most of the ships i've seen have at least intrigued me in some way bc i dont think theres a single one that's functional and its rly fun seeing how ppl go about it

Sam x Lyle - toxic yaoi!!! its fun to think abt if Lyle ever manages to take his idea of sam off of that pedestal and what he's gonna do abt his old "project". i think he's gonna keep those photos to his grave and its gonna haunt him forever.

Sam x Dan - dont know much abt dan so i cant say much but i can respect it. gamer x gamer. vibeswise it feels like its gonna be a Mess

Sam x Papineau - bbig man 👀

Sam x Hellen -

that being said- it has to be the slowest burn of all time. OR the funnier option imo: Sam gets an inexplicable crush on Hellen (despite being still kinda scared of her) but it's unrequited.

helleigh - i am loving the chaotic vibes of this. no notes.

bonus : sam x mask and sam x spine - i loooooove when ppl put their interactions under a microscope and potentially make them worse. straight up noxious yaoi in spine's case.

[furiouskettle]

it only took me like a month to catch on to the pun

[furiouskettle]

Oh wait did you ever draw Sybil? Cause I’m really curious how you imagine her out of her apartment…well. If you don’t picture her as part of the building that is

lol, i haven't! i do really love her as a character but uhhhh its hard for me to imagine her as anything other than just. her eyeball. or a mass of wall meat
