I swear I'm being totally normal about this and not at all like... crying at how amazing it is. Completely, 110% normal behaviour.

(It's SO COOL though. I love them all so much, and the animation!!!)

Best third birthday present ever, I will not be accepting criticism on this point.

happy three years to @chrysanthemumgames !!!! as always i'm a little biased towards drawing hermes, but i love the entire cast and at least wanted to draw all of them :') and ofc, thank you jess for a game i always love and keep coming back to!!!

Elliot's not exactly an OC, considering he's a named recruitable character in Tactics, but he has about as many unique lines as Charon.

He was the de-facto leader of Ghoultown in Quincy. When the Beastlords (a cannibal cult with a mutation allowing them to telepathically control animals) raided the town and took both humans and ghouls hostage, the Warrior (the player character for Tactics) and their Brotherhood team rescued the hostages and defeated the Beastlords. If the Warrior saves his brother Gorgi, Elliot joins the Brotherhood.

(Side note: this is the Midwestern/Chicago Brotherhood of Steel that Bethesda reconned out of existence for being too different. I'm guessing because they were do-gooders who counted ghouls, robots, super mutants, and even deathclaws in their ranks, instead of being paranoid techno-fascists. But I digress.)

I've always pictured Elliot as a pre-war punk because of his post-recruitment portrait with all the piercings. I imagine him raising hell and protesting the war. After the bombs, he became a crucial part of Ghoultown, maybe not founding it, but helping keep it together.

Arlene and Evita used to sneak over to Ghoultown to play until Evita's mom (the town mayor and Arlene's adopted mom) had a fit. I can picture Evita sneaking over to Ghoultown and becoming friends with the other ghouls, including Elliot.

Once Elliot leaves for the BoS bunker, he holds his own as a tactician. He can shoot, but he's far more useful as a lock picker and logistician. His height keeps him from specialized duty--he's almost two meters tall.

When Quincy gets nuked, he gets special leave to stay in town and rebuild. (Canon divergence. In Tactics, the PC takes a live nuke from the ruins of Kansas City and uses it to blow open Vault 0. In my version of events, the big bads from the setting follow the PC and set off the bunker buster in Quincy.) The only human survivors of the blast are turned into ghouls. The place becomes The Hub but for radiation-resistant folk.

Elliot later rejoins the Warrior at Cheyenne Mountain and is there to witness the Warrior integrate with the Calculator (Tactics' good ending).

Astro Observations on Chaos Asteroid 19521

*image sourced from Pinterest

Last year, I was researching about Chaos magick and I recently read a post made by @a-d-nox and wanted to make my own predictions on my Chaos persona chart and natal chart.

@a-d-nox post is down below

Chaos, cosmologist, and the creator of the universe

What is Chaos to me?

Chaos represents a natural disaster that brings renewal to infertile crops or a rogue wave. It is neither good nor evil , it just is.

My chaos is in Taurus in the 7th house, 29°.

aspects- Chaos opposite Sun, Chaos conjunct Saturn, Chaos opposite AS

a) Where there may be uncertainty

*image sourced from Pinterest

intimate relationships or relationship with friends and enemies.

Making friends has always been easy for me, but maintaining the relationships becomes more challenging as an adult.

Maybe it's me wanting to materialize enemies to lovers or friends to lovers , but that's the vibe I'm getting from my placements -

( Sag stellium of Pluto, Chiron, and AS in PC) opposite Jupiter & Mercury

b) What I've created or will create that could be considered chaotically good & evil/ never be destroyed.

*image sourced from Pinterest

A book or novel

astro content

erotic novels??!

screenplays

forming alliances with powerful people

c) Where I am first at something-

*image sourced from Pinterest

Aries in the 5th house of PC, Venus and Moon sits here.

Ending generational trauma by not having children.

Marrying a foreigner in my family ( Mars in Sag) 🧐

I am the first born /only child on my mother's side.

d) Where I have limitless power-

*image sourced from Pinterest. Art by Tope Fatunmbi, Serenity in Action

Persona chart- Sag Pluto, Mars, and Chiron in the 1st house, Gemini Jupiter in the 7th House.

gaining knowledge and sharing with a larger audience.

power through words, literature, writing, thought, and singing.

This could be a slippery slope because of misinformation or miscommunication.

Becoming an educator or professor.

Becoming a therapist, psychologist, or involved in crisis management.

Becoming a published author or screenwriter.

e) motherhood

*found on Pinterest -Artist Charon Rothmiller-Cash - Art piece named Two

PC Sun & Chaos conjunct 3° Gemini Saturn in the 7th house.

having two kids or twins after my Saturn return (ages 29-39)

OR

Deciding to raise pets instead of children (Taurus in 6th house of PC)

The 6th house rules pets, acts of service, occupation, routine, health, and co-workers.

Dude CRAZY lore drop in the sparring scene. I was caught OFF guard.

It turns out that people off Charon's route get that bit of information sooner than those on it. This is, of course, because they're even more afraid of telling PCs who are on the route. I imagine that scene will have a bit more of a proper 'intimate backstory reveal' feel to it, but they in particular want all PCs, on and off route, to know eventually.

I hope it was the interesting kind of surprise, in any case. I know a few people had guessed it, which is good! But it's also fun for it to be a bit of a shock, I think. :)

Theo's favorite videogames

In my bio I have "videogame enthusiast" but I rarely talk videogames on this blog (aside from the CILF—Character I'd Like to Fuck).

So here are my favorite video games!

and no, unfortunately Call of Duty isn't here.

Indie:

Celeste (Platform): The hardest game I've ever played—quite literally lost my sanity over it. I died around... 4k times? (Yes, the game actually keeps count.) But despite the challenge, it's absolutely wonderful. The story beautifully explores overcoming depression and, as creator Maddy Thorson later shared, the journey of self-acceptance and finding peace in one's identity 🏳️‍⚧️ There's a beautiful statement from Maddy that I'll leave here for you to read.

Hollow Knight (Metroidvania): Hollow Knight has my heart and soul. The world-building is phenomenal, and the boss fights are some of the hardest I’ve ever faced—making every victory that much more satisfying. The artwork is absolutely stunning (forever in love with the Queen's Gardens). If I ever disappear out of the blue, assume Silksong (the sequel) finally dropped.

Hades (Roguelike + RPG): Hades is one of the most fun games I’ve ever played—and one of the funniest, too! The voice acting is top-notch, and the artwork is absolutely stunning. The plot is fairly straightforward, but as a (tough) roguelike, its replayability is practically infinite. I love it so much that I own it on both PC and Nintendo Switch!

The Binding of Isaac (Roguelike): The father of roguelike video games. The full bundle is pretty pricey, but considering the infinite possibilities this game offers, it's worth every penny. Playing TBOI has actually taught me so much about video games, and I’ve gotten way better because of it. Plus, the creator is an absolute sweetheart. Just a heads-up: religious trauma ahead!

Stardew Valley (Farming Sim): This game is basically my version of a fidget toy—I play it whenever I’m stressed or anxious. It calms me down better than Xanny does (/j). I love it to the moon and back. Also, I’m a Shane girlie—like, what did you expect from a Simon Riley lover?

Undertale (RPG): If you haven’t played Undertale, what are you even doing!!! The RPG that revolutionized RPGs! It has a beautiful story and such a unique approach to gameplay. The way it subtly guides players toward different choices and playstyles is pure genius. The characters are wonderfully built, and it's hard not to grow attached to every single one of them. Forever, forever, forever in my top three favorite games.

Spiritfarer (Management Sim + Adventure/Platform) A tender, tender game about death. You play as Stella, who takes Charon’s place in guiding lost souls to the afterlife. It’s truly one of a kind in how it explores deep emotions, and I’ll forever hold it closest to my heart—nothing will ever come close to it. And, once again, the artwork is absolutely stunning.

AAA:

Baldur's Gate 3: Yeah, the video game of the century. It has the most beautifully perfect balance between exploration and story-driven gameplay. Endless possibilities, countless endings, hidden shortcuts, incredible character development—you name it. Nothing has topped it yet, and honestly, I’m afraid nothing ever will. Gaming is ruined for me. 😮‍💨

Red Dead Redemption 2: RDR2 was my favorite game ever—until Baldur’s Gate 3 came along. Arthur Morgan has to be one of the most three-dimensional characters ever written for a video game. Scratch that: one of the most three-dimensional characters ever written period. The story is a heartbreaking mix of betrayal and (I know, I know) redemption. There are two possible endings, but let’s be real—you’ll only see one if you’re evil to your core (/s).

God of War: Ragnarok Father-son bonding at its finest. A beautiful story, stunning graphics, and fun—though somewhat limited—gameplay. I loved witnessing the wrath of a mother and exploring Norse mythology. I just wish there was more room for exploration, but alas, it leans more towards a story-driven experience (big plus: ending song by Hozier).

The Last of Us: Father-daughter bonding at its finest. Both games are incredibly dear to me—as a huge fan of post-apocalyptic worlds with a pinch of horror, they hit all the right notes. I wish I could say it’s just a story about zombies, but at its core, it’s about family and breaking the cycle of violence and revenge. Raw, unfiltered, and especially brutal in the second part, The Last of Us will always be a staple of gaming and storytelling (and Naughty Dog soundtracks never miss—God bless Gustavo Santaolalla).

Bioshock: An incredible game setting—I was genuinely sad to leave Rapture behind for Columbia. I’m not the biggest fan of Bioshock Infinite, the third chapter of the saga, mostly because of how visually bright it is. But there’s something truly remarkable about Bioshock's social commentary, and the characters you meet along the way are absolutely iconic. I will never forget the screeches of the Big Sisters and how I developed a pavlovian response to them (shitting my pants).

The Witcher 3: Geralt of Rivia, my beloved. One of my favorite characters to play (and hated to see on the screen I'm sorry). The Witcher 3 strikes a beautiful balance between exploration and story-driven gameplay, with graphics that were ridiculously ahead of their time for 2015. When I first played, I didn’t think my choices really mattered… but oh, they do. If BG3’s vast exploration feels overwhelming and you want something a bit more manageable, The Witcher 3 is the perfect place to start. Also, Gwent.

Professor Layton: Oh boy, where do I even start with this one? I own them all on the Nintendo 3DS and binged them back-to-back without a single break. No game has ever made me feel as stupid as this one did while solving enigmas—but also, no game has ever made me cry the way Professor Layton and the Unwound Future did. I couldn’t recommend this series enough!

If you have recommendations, please tell me all about it. I love to talk videogames! Just jump in my inbox and share xx

With love,

Theo 🦊

A missed potential in Hades (the game)

Ok, listen. I'm a fan of Supergiant Game's Hades (haven't played Hades II yet. Because my PC is a potato and I hope the full version will be in PS4). Yes there are bothersome inaccuracies, but...

The characters are fun, the game is surprisingly not repetitive yet consistent, the mechanics are cool, Hades and Persephone are actually compelling (a miracle in mythology retellings). And Hypnos is a fun lil goober.

But I feel like there was one huge missed potential. No, I'm not complaining about Dionysus for the 100th time or OdyPen being tossed in the trash in Hades II (gosh I hope it's a fake out and they're still together 🙏🙏🙏).

I'm talking about this guy :

This is Asterius, better known as the Minotaur. Yes it's the third time I talk about him today, but I just had an idea for him that I want to share.

I actually like what Hades did with him ! Again, I have more positive thoughts about this game than negative.

I'd even go as far as to say this is the best version of Asterius I've seen, imo.

He's an actual character, capable of speech. He's not always seen as Theseus' sidekick, even having his own moments with Zagreus. He's the more intelligent one, he's more human than Theseus and I love that about him. Like Achilles, but to a much higher degree, he mellowed down in the afterlife and lost his murderous rage.

The ironic friendship with his murderer is also very cool.

But we could've done so much more with this wonderful concept. Hades is essentially a game about mending broken relationships: Persephone and her family, Orpheus and Eurydice, Achilles and Patroclus, Thanatos and Hypnos... but Theseus and Asterius never really contributed to the main plot. They're just kinda there, doing their own thing.

I think adding ONE element would change everything, an important part of the Underworld (so Zagreus can interact with it) and something interesting for both Theseus and Asterius : the three judges. More specifically Minos.

A plotline where Minos and Asterius' abusive relationship will be discussed and Theseus actually being a good person for once and standing up for his friend.

Maybe with Minos apologizing and seeing that Asterius isn't a monster. And Zagreus being the catalyst for fixing the relationship, because in all those encounters, he learned to know who Asterius is.

Bonus point if Ariadne and/or Phaedra are mentioned. I see the latter appearing. Heck, maybe the former in a "Dionysus wants to resurrect her" storyline.

But this post is about Asterius and Minos. Between the underworld themes, the broken family of Crete, Asterius' humanity, Theseus humbling himself, it'd have been integrated so seamlessly !!

Just by adding a room for the three judges, with whom Zag regularly interacts, or fights as bosses, or just NPCs like Charon/Chaos with unique gimmicks.

Maybe fun interactions with Radamanthus and Aeacus too, though I have less ideas for them.

Please tell me there's a fanfic out there exploring that ! Or that Hades II will somehow do it 🙏.

No way, I love Pumpkaboo! I made a group of pokemon mystery dungeon ocs once, and Pumpkaboo was one of the three members! Her name was Charon and idk why but the lore was REALLLY deep. I'm currently recycling them into a fanasty world so that I can use them for a possible novel if I wanted

(The others were Mimikyu (aka Kyu) and and Banette (aka Raz)

🎄

That sounds absolutely awesome ( ≧ᗜ≦)!

I haven’t played any of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games yet actually, I’ll definitely try playing through one when I get home if the pc is free!

Also Pumpkaboo is also easily one of my favourite Pokemon btw, easily 3rd after Sylveon and Mimikyu (˙ᗜ˙ )!

What if Charon and Cream swapped places?

I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO LATE!!! I did not see this in my notifications until I opened up Tumblr on PC!

I think that it would be utter chaos. That was my initial thought as soon as I saw this.

Charon is way out of her depth in the mainline Sonic world. She would hate how people infantilize her and see her as this cutesy little bunny. Keep in mind that this is an immortal deity!

She would hate how smothering Vanilla is and thank the stars that she has distant but still present Nyx as her mom. Charon would miss her boat and miss the tranquility of the Underworld rivers.

She would, however, adore Cheese and try to abduct him to bring him to the Underworld. Probably all the chao. Hades would just sigh and tell her to give them back.

I think Cream can be a pretty tough girl, but in the end, she's just a child (and a young one at that). She would rightfully be rather terrified in the Underworld, despite it not necessarily being scary. It's a brand-new place with a lot of intimidating faces and places! She would probably cry for her mama and Cheese.

I think Persephone would find her and take her in, let her walk amongst the pomegranate orchard and visit where they keep the creatures. Hades would also adore her - he has a very soft spot for sweet, polite little kids. He has a soft spot for kids in general hehe.

Fanart for @abigailmoment ‘s fangame, A Dream of Silence! My own Tav is featured as the pc, and the return of the painterly style! It’s not as detailed as I would’ve liked it to be, but the background was giving me grief- and I’ll admit I’m not great at them 😅

Anyways, I hope you enjoy, madam!

(Edit: and I just realized I put Charon’s braids on the wrong side- even though it really isn’t noticeable. F*ck.)
