#ALSO THANK YOU!! IM GLAD YOU APPRECIATE MY LORE

[opal-owl-flight]

I absolutely adore your agent lore SO MUCH it feels really canon to me, just in a darker and realistic way!!

I am kind of wondering what your thoughts are on octavio, especially in this verse- if you have any of course LMAO 👍 so fair if you don't he just lives in my braincells rent free.

"You. Were not so different, you and I."

"|Shut. Up. Dont compare yourself to me. I did everything for this fragile world. A world you yourself almost destroyed twice.|"

"Aah, so did I, young squid. So did I."

3 rounds on the imprisoned geezer. Some thanks he got, after saving the world. The Captain was almost as bad as their old superior.

He only crosses his arms tighter as they clacked their beak.

"|The destruction of my world does not justify yours' survival.|"

Theres a dry chuckle from within the glass globe.

"Which world has the zapfishes. Which world is close to the sky? Which world allows everyone to...act the way you do. That annoyingly fresh attitude that just rubs in our face how much better you have it."

3s looking more unsure now, their hands clasping tight on their arms whenever theyre not signing. Thats a surprise.

"Mm. Do you understand, agent?"

The hesitance disappears, and their eyes and spots glint threateningly. "|Im the Captain now, and I will prefer to be referred to as such.|"

The king rolls his eyes. Mocks a salute.

"Stuffy kid. Damn. Alright, Captain.

Let me illuminate it a little more clearly for you.

You train your agents to keep my people underground. Sometimes, to the point of breaking their spirit. Because you want to keep them safe -- from me, from my troops, from anything the rough seas can throw at em. Right?"

"|I dont do it like you do. Hypnosis? Mind control? Eight ran away because of that!|"

"Who told you I used that on my entire nation? Damn old fool, that Craig.

As for your "Agent Eight"...

that one...

...had her reasons.

I hold no ill will towards her, or the others, for running.

In fact, I dont blame them one bit."

3 squints.

"They wanted a life that I cannot provide.

Its hard, underground. Constant energy crisis. Constant food shortage. Constant resource depletion. Who would stay? Except those who want to make it a better world to live in?

And you, Captain. What would you do in my place?"

And they stay quiet...

Before their voice rasps through a low hiss.

"Act...in a way... you wont."

"Hoh! So you can speak! Impressive.

But you know youd do similar. Ive heard how much Agent 4 hates your guts. Its not as easy being a leader, isnt it."

3 hisses louder, balling their fists.

"I...am not...you."*

"Yes. You. Are." The king presses his tentacles on the glass. "I did all I did for my fragile world. I continue to run my nation the way I do so everyone stays safe from the danger YOU bring. You and the REST of your nation. My troops are family. My troops are all Ive got."

He casts a glance at 4 (pre-Captain my Captain), who was approaching for her training.

"Even if they end up hating me."*

3 catches 4s gaze.

"Even if they end up deserting."

4 turns her gaze away, to look directly at Octavio.

"Do you understand?"

Now its 3 who looks, understanding dawning in their eyes.

Hes right.

"I must do what I need to, even if it hurts me. Id risk my life, my honor, my everything, for my people.

If I dont, who else will?"

3 thinks of the times theyd swooped in to save the newly returned 4 from hazards in the newer missions. The verbal and physical abuse from her beak and fists. The way they had to give her easier missions despite saying that it was tougher, just so shed have a more gradual growth. Have higher chances of surviving. Even if...underhanded.

4 herself breaks the silence, and their train of thought.

"Talking to the damn geezer again, Captain?"

"|He spoke first.

...but he makes good points.|"

"You cant seriously- hey. HEY! CAPTAIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

theres a loud crash.

"|I dont think it fair to keep him here after he helped us save the world.|"

"Hohohoh! You are not so bad, Captain."

"GRAMPS IS GOING TO KILL YOU."

"Hah! No he wont. I know your old man. And for once in his life, he actually made a good call.

Captain.

Agent Three."

The mention of their old number, to refer to them, almost made tears spring to their eyes.

Almost.

After all, this was the reason they were dragged into this mess. But can they really keep blaming him for all this, after all this time?

Octavio shows...a hint of a smile.

"You make a fine protege for the man I used to know.

Keep it up."

3 holds 4 back from rushing the Octarian leader. "Go...back. Take care...of your people."

"Aye aye. Heheh. So long, suckers!!!"

And he was gone.

Impulsively shoving a guy's hand in your mouth after having the thought "oh just like when my little sister used to prick herself on a rose thorn" and then immediately being treated like a pet who ate something they shouldn't have? Wonderful. Thank you, Thane.

(also not pictured is Thane apparently trying to scrape your tongue with his hand BEFORE pouring the holy water down your throat because NO. BAD.)

THEY USED THE LIVING TOMBSTONE SONG FOR THE CREDITS HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUTOMATIC 5 STARS

[amethystfairy1]

AMETHYST. “i wish id done things differently, i wish i had been brave” is CRAZY.

i just binged the whole thing upon realising that was the final chapter. here are my takeaways.

so obsessed w siren scott. xornoth and him are such a duo. “because im _trying_ to be the big brother here” so real xorny.

love me some worldbuilding. and also— siren lore?/ hello??? i hate that we never find out why they gave him away as a concubine tho. is it too much of a spoiler just to ask?

hybrids? having a regular conversation? in MY angsty minecraft au?

[ “Ah, my first sale was similar…don’t think I spoke in almost a month.”

“A month? I went three, then the next place I was sold to was this exotic bar…he expected performance, dude…”

“Like my third! She only wanted me because my wings shimmer…it was humiliating…”

“Was it? Huh…I wonder if he felt that way…”

“Hm?”

“Nothing.” ]

nah thats crazy. talking so casually about this stuff. the callbacks to grian and ren. when are we getting more of them btw

scott waking up and IMMEDIATELY at martyns throat. them arguing for the rest of the day. lqdkpskwpgkc ME AND WHO!!

ren and martyn totally being in love and jimmy just watching like “fuck are they doing” is literally the entire tt fandom.

also i copy pasted the dialogue wrong and because of tumblrs stupid system it took me like a whole 30 seconds to fix it please appreciate me

Thank you so much for all the details you enjoyed, I absolutely LOVE IT when folks do that, so thank you thank you!!!! Yes, it's all a whole lot of stuff kinda coming together, plus Scott fever dreaming his backstory for us, just...a whole lot! A whole heck of a lot!

i stumbled into the slime hrt series by accident (... the accident: i searched for shapeshifter hrt lol) and i have to say

BRBABBRBRBABABEBRBARBABRBRBRB This is like The Best thing i've read in a long while and im very normal thinking about it, it's really well thought out, the worldbuilding is brilliant, The Everything is amazing, the descriptions of all the sensations and physical/mental/social changes are making me Feel Things and. Aaa. also FIDGETING WITH THE CORE SOUNDS cool as heck. random pseudopod stuff. just. details and descriptions. aeauagaeauaue

so thanks a lot for the great writing i now want this and am very sad it's not a thing irl

first of all: agshjdkagsdhjaksafghsdj

second of all: thanks, seriously, i really appreciate hearing all that, i really try to make everything come across as I imagine it and translate my thoughts into coherent words, so I'm super glad to hear that comes across. I will say, to be completely, the world building is not really my own creation, I've only added a little to @darkmagenugget/@nuggetofthesea 's setting of hyper city (mostly by bugging them incessantly about it heh) and ofc a lot of the other lore is from the other AHRT peeps (too many to tag 'em all, but definitely worth checking out all the others) in specific might be up you), since I've tried to keep at least some coherance with that (partially to allow for any collabs) but I'm still super happy to hear you liked it aaa, i'm still reeling a little, wasn't expecting this, but it's really nice to hear. Also mood on the wishing it was a real thing, I can't even remotely pretend this series isn't massive wish fulfillment for myself. Guess we'll have to wait for science to catch up with our dreams hehe Also, if shapeshifting hrt is what you're looking for, stay tuned, I promise it's coming up!

If ya like slime/shapeshifter hrt @scrubbinn's and @calliecwrites's stories are also definitely worth reading as well as @mint-and-authoress's too!

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

Hello! I know you're one of the people who ship Moon and Solar (TSAMS) And y'all have gotten me into the ship as well! XD I'm not caught up on the lore of the show(s) So i haven't even seen Solar IN SHOW before (i am very behind to before Lunar was Sun and Moons brother :' D) But I have some ideas I'm debating writing for the ship buttt....I have no clue how Canon Solar acts??? Do you know if theres somewhere I could find a Summary on his personality? (and I suppose...new Moon?) I'll probably unintentionally make them OOC...never written for anything TSAMS related, but i'll try!

And is there a ship names thats...like used for them instead of Solar X Moon or is it just called that?

Anywho, I hope you have a good day/night!!! You make awesome stuff! (And I know theres been some people making drama over the ship, I hope you don't let them get to you too much tho!! <3 /P)

🦈Anon

AWESOME!

Heheheh. Thank you. I've been shipping these two since June 2023 so I'm glad I can share the brainrot and some people are more welcoming and cool then I expect. (mostly the ones who can't think critically are the youtube audience but that's expected. Since a lot of the youtube target audience are... like.. minors or really young adults who can't conceive the concept.)

I rewatch that Episode where Solar changes his name and rebuilds the Daycare in a week just for Moon constantly cause it's just... so much admiration and appreciation Moon has for Solar in that episode. I swear I don't know if it was a flub on the actor's part... but I swear Moon calls him 'sexy' as he's dragging him to charge. the stock sound effect of "OOOOH" doesn't help my APD and I've listened so many times and I have no possible idea what Moon could be saying to Solar other then 'come here you stupid, sexy-...." (trails off) sooo... idk. I might have misheard that severely but that's just what I'm hearing.

Like, in terms of New Lore of the show, it gets pretty complicated.

So complicated in fact, TSAMS themselves released a new video on the subject.... But it's NOT a very good guide, as it misses a lot of things. (and no I don't mean the stupid guest cameo stuff) this is more or less an abridged take on what happens with no emotional impact:

Like, this is a good starting point if you want the barest of bones, but it misses so much stuff. I think they don't even mention how Solar gets introduced into this family. lol. Just like "yeah Im here and I helped kill Eclipse" fheahehf. It's a super well made video though, and I don't mind the editing mistakes (clearly when the actors change the avatar on screen.... whoops. Happens a few times)

There is also the Fan Wiki, but as of now, it is incomplete, (@twinanimatronics is working tirelessly on updating the wiki and I wish they got more reconignition from the tsams community as a whole ) but it does give a decent look into Solar

There is also the huge TSAMS Lore Document, which Ceph(twinanimatronics) also worked on which contains a further detailed explanation of the story so far, for those who don't have time to watch 2 years worth of youtube content that aren't in a concrete playlist. (TSAMS. PLAYLIST YOUR STUFF PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TWO YEARS OF LORE HERE)

Liike.... yeah... this is okay but like..

This is VRchat. Aka the lore. Which also includes when they play videogames in VRchat, which don't impact the story... Like Uno, Amongus and SCP stuff.....

And it doesn't divide the arcs. Something that TSAMS severely needs more then any other SB Show channel.

Also, in the early days, the gameplay videos USED to be part of the lore. As the concept of Eclipse itself, being a rouge evil ai that lived in Sun's head (as it was presented initially but we know the truth it was the killcode moon planted in Sun when they separated.)

These days, they kinda dropped the gameplay videos being directly connected to the over arching plot. Other then just saying that their vids are pre-recorded or "we're back" after an annual halloween takeover.

Not to mention... When Earth and Lunar got a show, they became intertwined with the Sun and Moon show. LAES is very much it's own thing, but it's the ONLY Security Breach Show that consists of two Original Characters spawned from the Sun and Moon show. A rarity. So their lore continues off from the Sun and moon show, giving more info on Lunar these days and Earth (their sister)

Then you have the Monty and Foxy show (which is my least favorite of the shows... Personal Preference. I try not to complain cus I know some people like it. But I do not like the plot points in that show, or the character writing and weird directions they take while being connected to the same universe.)

And Monty is a character voiced by Davis, who also voices Sun. So Monty started out as a prominent character on the Sun and Moon Show, and then got his OWN show... at a point in TSAMS history after Eclipse got the star and killed Lunar.

So yeah. I wish the playlists were better organized here. So we knew when each era starts.

(people say Matpat should get on this show lore... And noooooooo no thanks. Keep him away. We got you covered. Ceph honestly has enough info to make a video guide at this point.)

But long story short, Solar is a "Good Eclipse" from another dimension that the Old Moon introduced to Lunar, when Lunar was struggling with his trauma of leaving Eclipse. Good Eclipse and Lunar become friends.

Anyway, here are some key episodes that outline NewMoon and Solar's relationship, as Solar had never met the Old Moon.

Old Moon had never met Solar. It was New Moon who introduced himself to Solar to help defeating Eclipse once and for all. (and by this point lunar had died)

He was actually surprised that this Moon was a chill Moon and could be reasoned with and talked to, considering he was living a rather oppressive life from his own Moon.

There's also a whole episode saga of just these two bantering and talking while they work on the satellite together. I can't remember which specific episodes those are.

You can also see the difference between the Evil Eclipse and Good Eclipse here in one of my all time favorite episodes:

Moon saving Solar's life: (also the death of the bad Eclipse)

Everything is good and happy after Eclipse dies for awhile. (aside of Ruin and Bloodmoon wrecking shit) He goes back to his own dimension... and you get to see what his sad life is like:

From his Moon calling him "byproduct" and failure very often.

But... Something happens and Solar is forced to come to Moon's dimension

here's Solar at his poor little meow meow "I have nowhere to go" stage and just... thought to go to Moon immediately due to their history.

Moon's only question about Solar moving in, is that if he wanted him to blacklist his dimension once he heard what was going on with his Moon.

And immediately, Solar jumps in to help Moon with his problems.

Also during the halloween takeover part 2 electric boogaloo, Solar was the one to help get Sun and Moon back after being teleported to a different dimension with no hopes of returning

Also, after Ruin was cured and Bloodmon ran off, Solar rebuilt the ruined Daycare in a week. And Moon is so grateful for it. (i rewatch this episode a lot. It cemented the ship in my mind and built the commodity that they've been building up for months)

We also get what Solar's daily life is like so far... How out of place he feels, being someone from a different dimension, despite the Brothers (and sister's) insistence, he still doesn't really feel like he's part of the family. He feels like an outsider. (He also has less opportunities to hang out with Lunar. As he expressed interest in playing games with him like the good old days, and as of recently, they have not yet)

also a good example of the Celestial family changing minds on family dynamics because they are robots. Lunar flat out rejected Vegeta-Animatronic is his brother even if he technically is. Like, they're robots. They can change their relationships to each other based on their word. I like to see it more flexible then it is in reality with actual people/humans.

Moon also trying to make Solar feel comfortable and feel like he's adjusting well here. Expressing his concern for him doing so much for him and his family. And hoping to not pressure him into so much work.

As of recently, his Sun died, and he killed his Moon. And in his therapy session (on the Lunar and Earth Show) he expressed regret over "Leaving" them...

But he has not properly told anyone about this.

My reasoning is that he probably thinks that the family will jump on the chance to call him "Evil" .....They don't have good luck with Eclipses.... and every Eclipse they met other than him has been Evil. (that must weigh on you. Every version of yourself is deemed as evil across every dimension. You are the only good one. Maybe there is something wrong with you)

I'm already at the video limit, but on Lunar and Earth show, there is an interesting episode where Lunar goes into Solar's head, and his mindscape looks like the Willy Wonka TV room, because it was a movie he watched with his Sun before they separated and Sun died. Showing that he did care about his Sun a whole lot... Which is probably why he doesn't interact with our Sun that much alone.

He also compartmentalizes everything before he can feel emotions, playing his own memories in third person as if he's not experiencing them.

Not to mention, he organizes and separates his thoughts on NewMoon and HIS Moon, just so he won't associate the two.

I also missed what episode it was, but Solar is always the first to call Moon out when he's being angry, or irrational, and Sun admits in his therapy session, that Solar is the only person who can calm Moon down. (mainly cus he's used to it, but unlike his old moon, this moon listens)

Anyway...

I love Solar a lot, can you tell?

[martynsimp69]

HEY! as the second round of the mcytblr sexyman bracket settles in i wanted to take the time to thank everyone that turned out for #saintsweep in the first round. genuinely don’t know how any of this happened, but i was rly touched by the outpouring of support and positivity and enthusiasm from everyone who was willing to commit to the bit. (33%!!! 33!!!! A WHOLE THIRD!!!! 2206 PEOPLE!!!) 

i wanna thank specifically zloy and the bracket team for being good sports about the whole thing -- the nomination started as a joke, but it was from a place of genuine excitement and goodwill, and i’m glad we all got to have fun with it. sorry for not actually fitting the “yt” part of the mcyt sexyman tournament LOL. 

but, speaking of. i’d joked about making a minecraft video if i won when i first saw the nominations, but after everything that happened here in round one i’m probably gonna do it even tho i lost. i feel like i owe it to everyone who turned out and got really invested and also really confused about who this gay little tv was and why they couldn’t find him anywhere (SORRY ABOUT THAT). 

SO!!! one of the things i wanted to do with the potential video was possibly a bit of a q&a; about me/saint, darkwoods smp, the bracket, lore, builds, whatever, idk!! but i figured, y’know, if anyone has questions they wanna ask feel free to send em my way, either in replies to this post or just straight in my askbox, anon or otherwise. 

anyways!! thank you all again for everything -- i appreciate being allowed to take this whole thing and run with it as much as i have. it was surreal and hilarious and overwhelming and i am going to be riding the high for weeks. the bragging rights i got from this are insane. im putting official mcytblr sexyman nominee on my resume. godbless. 

here is a little saint i doodled at work today while i watched the percentages on the poll tick up. love u guys forever 📺

[theresattrpgforthat]

hi! firstly, i wanted to thank you for your blog :) its actually gotten me into ttrpgs and you run a great service! secondly! im in the market for a two player ttprg for people who… haven't exactly played ttrpgs ever before! we both like the genres horror and comedy. as for mechanics, we love character creation and coming up with lore / improv on the fly! any games that fit this would be great. thank you so much, mint!

THEME: Duet Games for Beginners

Hello, and thank you so much for your message! Welcome to the hobby, there’s oodles of fantastic games out there and I’m glad that you find my posts helpful. Let’s get started, shall we?

First of all, I’m also going to shout out @jeffstormer 's Party of One podcast, which was my jumping off point for looking for 2-player games that would work for you. I heavily recommend checking him out, as he has years of experience playing (and running) games for two, regardless of whether they’re designed to be played that way.

Second of all, I tried to recommend games that either come with a lot of tools or that are pretty short, because I wanted to give you options that either really guide you through the process or don't overwhelm you with instructions. Your mileage may vary, but I hope something here stands out!

Dead Friend: A Game of Necromancy, by Ghostly Rituals.

Dead Friend is a roleplaying game for a necromancer and a ghost. That is, it's a collaborative storytelling game for two players. You will each play the role of a friend, one living and one dead. You will ask and answer questions to develop the characters, their community, their history together, and the motivations leading up to their final conflict.

The script follows the dramatic structure of a necromancy ritual, and you will use the spellbook of instructions throughout the entire game like a witch reading spells from an ancient grimoire. The mood may be spooky or intimate, heartwrenching or hilarious — it is up to you as storytellers. Dead Friend requires 1 Tarot deck or 1 deck of mundane playing cards.

I think this game looks like a good combination of horror and comedy, as it carries horrific tones but allows you to choose the mood. You’ll be answering question prompts throughout the game using tarot cards, so this is another excellent method of creating lore as you play. This game has an actual play episode of it with Jeff Stormer and Dani Costello that you can listen to if you want an example of play as well!

Standoff, by Matthew R.F. Baloušek.

The necromancer shrieks with cruel laughter, plunging the glowing dagger into the warrior's heart. "Fool! All your struggle was for naught. Your soul will be but a tasty morsel for my dark master!"

He starts to pull the dagger out, but finds his wrist stopped cold by Francesca's iron grip. She stares back with an icy glare. A glint of light catches the necromancer's eye, and he looks down to see the talisman of protection.

Wresting the dagger from the necromancer's cold hands, Francesca grins. "I hid all my vital organs in a pocket dimension!" Taking a free hand to dip a finger in what appeared to be blood, she tastes it and chortles. "You wasted the ichor of Ag'tekk on nothing more than a large ketchup packet!"

Standoff is a game where everyone works together to tell a ridiculous story full of twists, ripostes, counter-feints, and triple-double-crosses.

This is a chance to take turns one-upping each-other in a world of your own design. You’ll need a number of index cards in order to write down what you introduce to the world, but little else. What I appreciate about this game is the structure it provides - I find that structured sections and examples help new players get used to coming up with pieces as they go.

This is improv comedy at its finest - and it can also play with a larger group! There aren’t specific characters assigned to each player, but if you want to take more responsibility for either the Protagonist or the Antagonist then you should still be able to do that. This game looks exceptional, and I hope you check it out!

What’s A Vapourwave, by fen slattery.

A two-player, 200 word RPG about explaining vaporwave to your grandpa. Based on a true story.

One player is Casey, who kinda knows what vaporwave is. Another is Grandpa, who loves Casey and wants to understand their life. Played via text message.

This is a simple game that can be played via text message that navigates a humorous attempt at a grandfather doing his best to understand his grandchild. I love the aesthetic of this game, and I can see how easy it is to let the conversation within this game devolve into hilarity.

Heart Full of Trash, by StarshineScribbles.

Heart Full Of Trash is a  2-player roleplaying game where you play as raccoons on a date! 

Sort your recycling as you create your characters and tell the story of their romantic endeavours. Will your date be a triumph or will your raccoons develop a deep and long-lasting friendship?

Either way, by the time the game is over, your recycling will be sorted and ready for correct disposal. 

This is an adorably cute game that leans much closer to the comedy side of your request. The two of you will actually sort your recycling as you role-play - so since you’re using something you already have in your house, you don’t need to go and buy any extra gaming materials! This game is a bit closer to an improve game as well, so it might be a good introduction for someone who is less familiar with traditional character sheets and rolling dice.

You’re in Space and Everything’s Fucked, by Nevyn Holmes.

You’re in Space and Everything’s Fucked is a love letter to sci-fi cosmic horror and gore-filled splatter films.

You're In Space And Everything's Fucked emulates the trappings of isolation space horror video games through the lens of a tabletop role-playing game and is inspired by similarly fucked-up situations found in the Dead Space, System Shock, and Alien franchises.

The Station takes on the role of monsters and setting; generating both as the Struggler explores. They take a bird's-eye-view of the story and throw obstacles and objectives at the Struggler.

The Struggler fills the boots of the hapless sap that ended up in this situation. They scavenge, sneak, and generally work to survive by any means necessary in the face of horrifying creatures and untrustworthy NPCs.

The Demo version of this game is designed for two players, although it looks like the Kickstarter that Dinoberry Press ran back in March is for a bigger game down the road. The game includes a character creation section, a hint of map generation, and a handful of generated Boss Monsters! Because you generate the map as you go, I think this gives you a chance to come up with lore as you go. If you want chilling horror and a constant struggle for survival, this is the game for you.

My Duet Flirty Games Post.

My Epic Two-Player Games Post.

[midnightfire830]

I am doing good! 😊 i wanna ask about Nix in Inky Mystery AU, not sure if you answered that before- but whats his role exactly in IM?? Is he an ally to the questers?? And whats his talent?? :3

Interesting question! I’m so glad people are showing interest in Nix! I appreciate it a lot!

I wont explain too much about his backstory right not (because that’s a whole mess of lore) but he was picked up by Mickey’s circus in Europe and taken to America. He performs in the circus by doing flying and fire trick stunts. They call him the “human pheonix” (ironically enough). Whenever he’s not doing shows he helps in any way he can to make other shows go smoothly. (Also making sure that there aren’t any fire hazards that could burn down the circus) and is (kind of) a quote-unquote “magic expert” on fantastic creatures or any kinds of magic the circus comes across (although his knowledge on the subject isn’t all that vast).

Later on as mickey and ozzy become more involved in the quest he’d show up from time to time offering to help the questers in any way he can. Mostly running errands for red, granny, and oddswell. Delivering messages between the house and the circus. Helping to distribute medicine for the sick. (Especially after the fire) He uses his ability to fly to help people in any possible way.

In terms of people he interacts with he’d be kidna close to Boris and Winston. (Especially when boris starts coming around for sword lessons with mickey) and Winston because…. Fire. I’d like to say that he’d interact with cup from time to time (but that might be just because I’m obsessed with cup lol) and Holly and Felix a little because ancient magical creature. :P

(I try not to push my OCs into main plot stuff. Bc that always feels weird to me, but sometimes i like to indulge)

His talent is Sight. He has weirdly good vision. I have a list somewhere of his capabilities but i dont really care to look for it. Main things relevant to IM is he’s able to see for long distances. X-ray, heat signatures, he can see through some magic (like glamor spells), and he can see everything in color. Thing is he doesn’t realize he shouldn’t see color so he’ll offhandedly mention how much he loves the colors of some flowers or compliments someone’s eyes and just get weird looks in return.

Thanks so much for the ask Melody!

[ursidanger]

im sorry i am extremely autistic

bgrizz has never left my head since the first time i saw you post about him on here & deviantart, he's just so aesthetically pleasing to look at, and ive really grown to love the way you've portrayed this version of him, it's so awesome, he exudes Energy i love it

can you share any lore behind him and his existence? and also... do you mind if people use your art (with credit!) on discord & random socials for fun? thank you for blessing this part of the internet with such an awesome artstyle. you are LOVED!!!

Love to you as well! And thank you.

I am glad you enjoy my AU design so much as to keep it in mind for that many years. If you’d like, I invite you to DM me about this! I would be more than happy to share whatever lore I still have with someone so genuinely interested.

But I am not comfortable with bringing my fandom works back onto this blog (I‘ve had pretty unfortunate experiences within fandom spaces online and irl that have left me keeping my safe distance)

Using my fanart or miscellaneous artwork on discord / socials would be perfectly fine with me! Credit is appreciated.

Just don’t claim my art or characters as your own/refuse to credit and we won’t have any issue.

i just binge read dove and i love it 😭 i think its a very original and nice way to write the bodyguard trope with leon and make it feel like it actually fits w the lore of the game, im not personally a big fan of slow burns but this one serves more than leon at military service 🙏(english is my second language and its also like 2am where i live so im sorry if something i wrote doesn't make sense hehe i just had to show my appreciation for ur fic)

Thank you, lovely! Your English is amazing, please never apologise. I'm in awe of anyone who can speak more than one, I can barely write in English some days.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it 🥰 Hope to have the next part up soon xx

i am stabbing riize anon, mona! sorry i do not know u haha. i had to ask that question for my friend who was … too shy… to ask… even in anon, because we really love ur works and the lack of riize fics are just 💔💔💔

anyways, i’m really loving your night terrors series rn, beam! it’s such a breath of fresh air (especially for me since im typically not one to read fantasy x readers that are less focused on romance haha, but urs was just too good not read). it also brought me back to me days as a deobi, since jichang was also one of my biases (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ im obsessed with demon!changmin and y/n’s dynamic, and the overall tension between them during their hectic journey 😵‍💫 not to mention the little ways they care for each other without flat out saying it—its just too good! from the start of their coincidental meetups to their sudden alliance. also so so in love with the .. world building? or is it more like lore building? regardless, it’s evident that a lot of thought was put into it, which just shows how much you treasured this series while writing it, and it’s so nice to see that for an author!!!

tldr: i love ur writing plz dont die

stabbing riize anon (but also not anon) welcome!!! haha

noo pls don't be shy, i promise im really not scary, just super silly 🤸‍♂️ but thank u sm for reading my works i really appreciate it !! :')) and im glad to hear u and ur friend liked the sungchan fic too <33

i really have had a conversation abt maybe writing for riize but i'd need to,, think abt it some more haha 😅😅 sohee /is/ really cute..... but i always hate hearing when there's a lack of fics for a certain groups, it always makes me so sad 😭💔

omg wait ur hangup119 right?? thank u sm for reading night terrors :')))))) im super stoked that u did, and i'll def be going thru those reblog tags soon ^^ i also don't really read a lot of fantasy x reader aus that aren't super romance centered, so i totally understand where ur coming from!! and a MUCH bigger thank you from me for giving it a chance 😭 RAAAAH U WERE A DEOBI???? WHO WERE UR OTHER BIASES??? can i convince u to come back to deobiland.................. haha jk.... unless.....

ahh yes i really did treasure it 😭 i think this fic in particular hit so many marks for me, creatively esp :'))) thank u!! world building AND lore building i feel can be pretty hit or miss so yay!!

(the pls don't die im crying)

Ok so i was going to mention this in the ao3 comments but since youre active on tumblr i thought why not just come here!

So ive been re-reading rf again (for the 7th time... sorry) and im not sure if ive already mentioned this or if somebody else did but ive been thinking about kaeyas nickname for reader-dove, and the symbolism behind that because like- DOVE the animal representative of peace and love and FREEDOM, being placed on reader means so much. The story literally deals with the tension between inazuma and mond, reader being from inazuma and having such a great sincere love and sense of protection for mondstat is such a good character out of all to be named dove, especially from kaeya's perspective, he sees her as a symbol of genuineness compared to the other soldiers, someone who has risked their life for freedom when leaving inazuma, for peace when sacrificing themselves for ewald, and love for confessing to kaeya knowing she could have gotten in so much trouble. Reader is unapologetically so caring and delicate with everyone, a blanket of security that kaeya indulges in and lets his walls fall down around, his dove and flash of light in the grittiness of war. Im so sorry i could talk abt them for days😭😭 i love kaeya and reader and cant wait for their comeback, i hope you are doing well and thank you for such a well done fic, i know its not complete but ive read it so many times and genuinely it is better put together than about half of the books on my bookshelf😭 take care!

selkified! You are always the sweetest. ❤️❤️❤️

and ohmygod you made me fall in love with reader all over again. you're right, she's so sweet and genuine, which is what kaeya's character is attracted to the most, especially in the beginning of their relationship.

while writing them, i had to find a common ground for the two to connect. Kaeya seems like the type of character that needs deep and genuine connection for him to...obsess over someone enough that he will do batshit crazy stuff for them. reader's unapologetic perspective in freedom and chasing after what you want are quite contrasting to what we know of Kaeya's lore. he's used to hiding behind deception, despite the fact that he's very much driven by love. he suffered so much ever since his childhood, and reader's outlook in life is like a fresh air to him. but it's sort of unfamiliar to him that it feels scary. if you squint enough, he's not exactly the nicest to reader's feelings either. he doesn't know what to do with her lol he leads her on a lot then squash her feelings last minute

as for his nickname, dove, i didn't originally mean for it to stick. (i was in a Hawks (MHA) high and fanon Hawks uses "dove" a lot so i kind of wanted to implement it.) i did a research and found it to be perfect and now Raging Fires!Kaeya hasn't let go of this nickname since then. since Rin Minamoto isnt really reader's actual name, Kaeya had to use a more personal name for her, and that happened to be an endearment. i'm glad everyone is positively reacting to it too lol

anyway your insights are well appreciated. im also glad you are loving them !!!

hey man, me and my boyfriend are absolutely obsessed with your clefdraki art and playlists on spotify! you have a really deep and unparalleled understanding of their really complex lores and relationship, and your art is literally like snorting crack!!! i really appreciate what you do for the scp community and your art and interpretations, it also is really nice because me, my boyfriend, and my best friend have all been obsessed with SCP and its how i met my best friend like five years ago, and you help us like bond over this content again also your kondraki and clef give us violent gender envy thank you for what you do! keep going! -dell

Thank you as always it means the world haha! i dont think my thoughts arerlly all that unparalleled I sometimes feel like that the office pepe silvia scene when i get dragged back into the clefdraki brain hole bc a lot of the writing for them is purposefully dumb and hammy and objectively Not That Deep but im unfortunately such a sucker for character dynamics playing out across different timelines & doomed romances & general middle aged patheticness… ive thought abt them a legitimately embarrassing amount at this point theyre able to encapsulate so much of what i think is interesting abt the foundation as a setting I love insane office politics i love the idea of clef as this massive hypocrite who keeps tearing his humanity out of himself only for it to grow back in i love men dialectizing on every conceivable point of their worldviews with each other it really is peak coworker shit.

It does flatter & startle me though hearing stuff like that haha! Im not trying to be much of anything within the scp community I just have to have a place to exorcize my demons, im so glad its able to be smth so meaningful 4 u all! :] Here’s a song I wanted put on that playlist but couldnt cause its not on spotify! From me to u
