Album Review: Exul by Ne Obliviscaris (Season of Mist)

Australian extreme progressive metallers Ne Obliviscaris are proud to present their fourth album, Exul, to be released 24th March 2023 via Season of Mist. Drum tracking for Exul started in March 2020. There is an ominous tone to that date: March 2020. The pandemic demarcation line. That month, Daniel Presland laid down his drums in Nashville, Tennessee, with American producer Mark Lewis. As…

I'm sorry but the headbutt blade-blocking the lightsabers thing is really fucking badass.

[eorzeanflowers]

Does your OC need to be believable (within the context of the fictional world in which you place them)? Or are you more interested in pushing the boundaries of what you can invent?

This is a bit tricky. I do try to be believable. But sometimes an idea gets away from me. Like Myste. He is a being composed entirely of Dynamis whose sole purpose is to help people. That's a little far fetched with what we know about Dynamis as is.

But I like making them lore possible. It lends an ease to writing or thinking about them if they work with little effort. But, as stated earlier, an idea can get away from me and I just have to see it through.

your roman empire with the one piece men

that small gesture or word he said that entered your mind and never left.

starring : zoro, luffy and law !!

word count : 889

author's note : again, i'm so sorry for posting so rarely, working and planning a wedding has to be the most exhausting thing ever, i promise to go through all of your requests and to be more present, tysm for your support ♡౨ৎ⋆.˚ some of these scenarios have been inspired by moments i often think about in my life, can you guess which hahaha??

zoro was smitten with you, and longed taking a step forward in your camaraderie, and everyone with a pair of eyes could see it. so when nami told him he was on errand duty with you and only you today, the swordsman knew it was his shot to get closer to you.

gosh, you were gorgeous walking around the alleys with the wind blowing your hair and diffusing your hypnotizing scent. and there he was, walking by your side like a guard dog with his hands the pockets of his jacket, listening to your enchanting voice.

the errands were nearly coming to an end, and zoro did not dare to "make a move", which he knew he would regret. the alleys got more crowded and he was afraid to lose you, especially since his orientation is not the best, though his senses would always bring him back to you. he knew that.

as zoro listened to you and internally debated on whether he should say something about his feelings or not, his body acted on his own, finally closing the distance.

as he gently grabbed your left hand with his right one, intertwined his fingers with yours, before putting both of his hand and yours in his right pocket, acting like it was the most natural gesture on earth.

and the butterflies in your stomach never died since.

luffy has always brought joy to your life and fed your desire for adventures and fun. he lit stars to your world and invited you to let go of pressure and have fun, not minding about third parties' opinions. a lot of people would question your couple association because of luffy's exuberance, but all them be damned. the future king of the pirates brought you back to life and no one could make you happier.

a sudden rain came down pouring on the grand line and the wind blew hard. the entire crew started running around to put back inside the furnitures that were left outside. the rain was so much that it started freezing and you started to run to your quarters. yet, as you were about to finally reach your door, a pair of elastic arms grabbed you and brought you back outside under the pouring rain, their owner sporting a huge, bright grin on his face.

"luffy!!! what the hell are you doing? it's raining and we'll catch a cold!!"

"chichichi, i wanted to dance with you, (y/n)!" he beamed, his eyes adoringly pleading yours to allow his antics as he started twirling you around under the pouring rain.

between laughters only him could exulate, you tried to bring him back to his senses.

"but luffy, honey, we can't dance under the rain! it's cold and there's no music playing!"

luffy did not mind your ramblings as he kept on twirling you around, his hand standing on your the small of your back the whole time, his thumb occasionnaly drawing circles. with a determined gaze and his signature smile on his face, he pressed his forehead on yours, the rain drops falling from his nose to your lips from the closeness.

"together, there's nothing that we can't do (y/n). after all, i'm the future king of the pirates!!"

his laughter hugged the atmosphere and made your heart race even more.

your relationship with law was a secret on the submarine, and it was hard for you to hide your adoration for your boyfriend. after all, what wasn't there to love? law was smart, composed, mature and commited. yet, sometimes, it felt so easy for him to "ignore" your status in front of the crew or anyone for that matter, which tended to hurt your heart. did law appreciate you the way you did? was it unrequited?

little did you know, law had a hard time not paying as much attention as he would when with the others. because he had a lot of work, even when the others were not around, it did not mean the two of you could see each other. therefore, the soft gestures he wished to cover you with were quite lacking. and of course, he was the one to have asked to keep the relationship a secret, and because of his prideful persona, he would not admit it was not a good idea.

you and bepo were getting ready to work around the submarines for your chores of the day. you were busy going around the submarine with your chores tool and bepo, and failed to notice your shoe laces came undone.

and of course, this would not go unnoticed by law. the captain could not stop himself from going to you with a frown, which surprised (and scared) both of you and bepo.

is there anything you did wrong? why was he looking so pissed off?

"idiot. you could trip and injure yourself." your boyfriend sternly spoke, kneeling to the floor to tie your shoe-lace, leaving bepo dumbfounded and yourself out of breath, with a racing heartbeat.

"you know i don't want you to get hurt." he said getting up, his hot breath tickling your cheek in the process, his warm hand resting on yours, silently promising to show his adoration for you like you deserve.

and you swore you could still feel the warmth of his hand from that day again.

Pecul abd Ariti are based on the word "peculiarly", meaning "an odd or unusual feature or habit"

a tablet engraved in a language I don't know from @365runesoftheamalgamations

What motivates you to write?

literally anything. overall, it's because I have the stories in my head and they're taking up brain space! I need to get them out! and it's fun! and in the moment to moment of it, it's that one singular idea or emotion that was tumblr through my brain spaces and I really want to capture it in THIS story, with THESE characters. so I do that. I like taking things that I couldn't previous convert from wispy colors and spiky feelings into sentences that can impact people, whether in such a way that it makes them giggle or it sucker punches them or whatever. I like to do the thing. and! bonus for me, 'cause at this point, after all these years, I'm really good at it. so that helps.

A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not, maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them):

there's not a thing I'm most proud of. I keep improving, you know, so I keep writing things I'm newly most proud of. but then also, I'm still really, really proud of things that I don't think are that well written anymore, but that represent something for me, some part of who I was or what I was going through. I don't know about "most" but, here's something.

a sketch, bold lines, chromatic (2021)

do you want a self-portrait? I can give you one.

my heart is here, on my sleeve, right next to my elbow. I keep it in a plastic bag so it doesn’t get wet, but you can see it. it’s real, and pulsing, and the love can come out of it just fine. love is not tangible, you see, unless it has already left the heart in which case I can put it in my hands and lay them on your cheeks and then it is very tangible in so far as you will allow yourself to feel it.

I wear my shoes with the laces double knotted and I rarely untie them. I slip them on for work and kick them off when I get home. they fall haphazardly by the door, but they are by the door, kept, not lost, and are ready for use when I need them.

my hair is large around my head until I tie it back, but it curls as it will and I let it, because that is what my hair does. it is mine, and I intend to keep it, no matter what color it is or if it’s only half-braided because I slept on my side. my freckles go away in the winter, but I don’t miss them because I know they’ll return. there’s a small scar beside my eye. it shows more when I’m tired, and it hangs there like a mark on the moon and I’m not ashamed of it. it does not say that I am shadowed, it just means that I fell down as a child.

I drape myself in the colors I like, not the colors I think I appear to be. others will see me and hear me and decide what I am, and I like that I am more than shades of purple to the people outside of my head. I am purple to me, and that’s the most important, but if you see me as yellow and it makes you smile then I accept it with honor, I wear it like a pin beside my chest cavity, a souvenir for when I’m sleeping and my heart has crawled back home.

I can go on. but I know you’re not listening, or seeing, either. I hold out my arm so that my heart beats directly in front of yours and yet you are empty and walled and distant. I can wait outside for you but if you won’t open the door I can’t force my way in. and I won’t try, either.

I wear my heart on my sleeve but it’s up to you to choose to see.

Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them, and what are they like?

I have too many ocs for this, but here's my main guys:

R - dramatic, flirtatious lad, always on the verge of self-destruction until someone pulls him back by needing him. he's 17 and lives like it, one quip at a time. his heart is large and melty, and he just wants to be good, and is learning how to put in the work.

Jet - angry, tired, needing something to live for but unwilling to find it himself. he'll punch all your demons before confronting his own and finds too much exultant delight in the act. he doesn't want to experience emotions but he'll do it for you. and maybe, maybe for himself, as a result.

Nyks - sunshine child. delight of everyone's lives. he's lost his memory and his family but he has friends who love him. is always in need of cuddles and always gets them. encourager extraordinaire. a guardian angel, a baby.

(all my ocs can be found through a handy link in my pinned post if you wanted to hear me talk about some girls, maybe)

What process of writing do you enjoy the most?

draft 0. just writing whatever story comes out first and running with it. is it coherent? is it linear? is it on track to end? who knows! finding out is part of the fun! it's so enjoyable that I spend all my time here.

What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

dialogue is an easy answer. but also setting the tone, showcasing a particular dynamic in a short amount of time, and summarizing a very specific vibe or emotion with one pointed metaphor or paragraph. I do sensory emotion really well, and create whole atmospheres in just a few lines. maybe I don't mention where the heck the characters are but you definitely know what they're feeling (or what the pov is, anyway)

What is something in the writeblr community that is most enjoyable?

having friends! that I don't even just talk about writing with. we have random and strange and wonderful conversations about anything and develop inside jokes and I adopt a lot of them. it's great! and also I love tag games. I'm so slow about doing them because I am *rolls eyes* advancing in years and it takes so much more energy to do stuff *rolls eyes again* but I love them. I hoard them.

A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

scrivener is the best thing. I literally just updated to version 3 today and it's cleaner and smoother. I used onenote all through high school and beyond but then I just stopped? something about it didn't click with me anymore but I needed something with organization. I refuse to write in word or googledocs. so three? years ago I bought myself scrivener for my birthday and it's been amazing.

I do also keep a writing journal (I say journal very loosely) and sometimes bring it with me places and there's all kinds of random thoughts and snatches of scenes and what have you in there. I used to never write by hand because it's so slow, but my brain has changed a bit over the years and now I can write up to like, 4k by hand before I just can't anymore. I usually just do between 400-900 words though.

A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law, etc)

I love that the kids in Youth Story have superpower for literally no reason. I just stuck them in there and they just have them. it turns the slice of life into slice of surreal life and I love it.

and I love the cities in my stories. Sinderport and Rasterpool are the only ones with names at the moment but I have a bunch and they all have character and layouts in my head and specific attributes like being on a river or the gangs or the street slang. for being not a city person I really like to write about them.

and I love the magic in Guild Story. it's unwieldy and tricky and doesn't just "solve problems" and also I just love the three guild houses. they just came to me! and I was like "really, the ya x of x format" but c'mon. House of Favors sounds cool. anyway I gotta write more of this wip it's really interesting.

ɢʀᴇᴇᴛɪɴɢꜱ. ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ꜰᴇʟɪɴᴇ ꜰᴀʟʟᴏᴜᴛ.

(My main blog is @kittieshauntedourfantasy.)

After humanity in North America was wiped out by “The Great Light”, felines had to explore and survive in the world without them. In order to do so, the cats created "Colonies" – groups with their own skills, demeanors, etc.

ᴍᴏʀᴇ ɪɴꜰᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɪꜱ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜᴛ.

ᴄᴏʟᴏɴɪᴇꜱ

The Curet Colony rejects the ways of humans and domestic cats, instead favoring the lifestyle of their primal ancestors. They value independence, strength, and pride.

The Exim Colony cats dedicate their lives to everything the humans left behind, such as their technology, theories, and laws. They value knowledge, pragmatism, and ambition.

The Dacia Colony is a nomadic Colony that travels for trade and thrill. They value teamwork, courage, and athleticism.

The Mitis Colony embraces the lifestyle of farmers and shepherds, tending to whatever plants and livestock remain. They value compassion, wisdom, and patience.

The Vagari Colony roams the empty lands, scavenging through whatever the humans left behind to survive. They value resourcefulness, frugality, and perception.

Some cats choose not to be in Colonies. They are called “Solusses” (“Solus” singular).

Some cats may have been driven out of their Colonies. They are called “Exuls” (“Exul” singular).

ᴅᴏꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛꜱ

These cats are my OCs, and I'd love to see them be admired and have my fanbase grow! Despite this, I feel that there is a list of things you should and shouldn't do.

DO:

Make headcanons! I'd love to see what you come up with for these characters.

Ship! Yes, there will be canon ships, but I'd love to have people make other pairings.

Make your own designs! I may draw my own designs for these guys, but you are more than welcome to create your own designs!

Make art, as long as you credit me for the characters/story! I'd love it if you tagged this blog so that I can see it!

Make OCs! I think it'd be fun for people to create their own Colony cats.

Make AUs! AUs are always very fun (at least in my opinion), and I'd love to see AUs for the Colonies and their cats!

DON'T:

Sexualize these characters! They're CATS. Zoophilia isn't cool.

Use these characters/this story without credit! None of this belongs to you, so don't act like it does! This should go without saying, but just in case!

Repost! You are allowed to reblog, and I encourage reblogging, but do NOT repost anything! Again, this isn't your work!

Of course, I may have forgotten some things, but I will edit this list from time to time!

This list was updated on: 12/31/2023

ᴛʀɪɢɢᴇʀ/ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢꜱ

This story and blog will contain themes of:

Murder

Animal death

Injury

Blood

Gore

Fear

Like the dos and don'ts, I may be forgetting something! If so, I will update it.

This list was updated on: 12/30/2023

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴍᴇ

My main blog is @kittieshauntedourfantasy, but I will put some basics about myself here!

I am Courtney. I go by Court. I use she/they pronouns. I have autism, so I'm sorry if I come off as rude sometimes! Tone tags help me, but they are not at all required.

What Does Your Terrarium Look Like?

Hali Aloke ✨🌊

Instead of a terrarium, this became more of a water globe thing that holds everything that represents Hali. First is the ocean, which is her namesake, and floating at the bottom is two rings that symbolize her desire to find true love, an assortment of coral and shells, and a mermaid that I thought looked like Hali herself. On the surface of the water are water lilies, which are Hali’s favorite flower besides snowdrops, and I always imagined Hali’s pink hair looked like a water lily floating on the surface of the water. On the beach there is a telescope pointing towards the beautiful night sky and an Aurora borealis, which you can find in the skies above Sharlayan, her homeland. Then there is a castle with blue spires, and I thought it looked like Ishgard, the home of the man she loves. Lastly, there’s the street lamp, a light in the darkness of night, which represents her role as a Warrior of Light.

"Thank you all for coming."

"Of course. As it stands, unknown forces have made a beachhead on the main island, and are already offloading large quantities of troops."

"And unfortunately, Fenix is nowhere to be seen."

The Sparrow however, remained silent as he had no idea what to even say. Fenix was the one who tried to look after him more than the other Templars, so without him he lacked a voice.

"Rtas, ready the Royal Guards. Chika, I want you to assemble our military. We need all of them. Custodes, Victores, Exuls, Umbras. All of them. Send word to the other nations as well, ensure that their borders are properly fortified against this new force."

"Right away."

Chika simply nodded as she began making numerous phone calls. The Sparrow left to ready himself for battle as well. Rtas smacked his armored chest as he made for his ship; the Shadow of Intent. He's lucky these Imperials aren't aware of it's cloaking technology.

[necromatador]

Anyway my clone trooper oc who I swear I've talked about here before is named StarStruck, most of what I know about him is that his original number has three 7s so his name used to be Jackpot or something luck related until he got hit by dry lightning (literal bolt from the blue type shit) and due to a streak of bad luck immediately following that he was renamed StarStruck because "that was his lucky star hitting him on the way out".

The lightning fried his inhibitor chip though, so it didn't activate for Order 66, and he did his best to help his Jedi + their Padawan escape (he doesn't know if it was successful ultimately or not). StarStruck was forced to flee into hiding himself until eventually he couldn't run anymore and had to join the rebellion to survive.

He was a Heavy Trooper as well.

I do wanna develop him more and like actually use him for something.

(I've also got an Imperial Trooper oc named RO6351 or "Roger" or more specifically "Roger Roger" almost always written with a backwards second R because his name is a mocking nickname that Exul and Velata gave him because he's signed to try and capture them for the Empire.)
