Why I Fell In Love With Rolan, A Character Analysis
I will be going through Rolan's lines, along with the devnotes, to try and explain my interpretation of his character.
This is coming from having spent 30+ hours combing through his dialogues, reading all of his books, listening to every voice line for context, and replaying every scene of his that's currently accessible.
TW: Mentions of abuse, family death, implied suicide
Very long post under cut. Get the Arabellan Dry out!
A few notes before getting into this:
In the game files, Rolan is referred to as "Prodigy", while Cal and Lia are referred to as "ProdigyBrother" and "ProdigySister".
Rolan is a character whose outer words and inner thoughts often do not align - for most of the game, he refuses to show vulnerability in front of Tav, reserving his softness for his siblings. This can be interpreted in a number of ways, ranging from a self-confidence issue to an avoidant attachment style. Though people are free to have their own interpretations, I will mainly be focusing on my own readings of his personality.
I am not a psychologist or a licensed health professional, but I have personal experiences with the mental health disorders I will reference in this post, and I have done a lot of research on the topics involved.
Part 1 - Elturel, and Rolan's past
"Rolan. Just... Rolan."
There isn't much you can tell about Rolan's life except that he's from Elturel and that Cal and Lia are his siblings - after all, he doesn't give you much info in the first place. He doesn't know you, he doesn't trust you. Why would he?
The information you get about his family and his life before BG3 come from minor dialogues, and using Speak With Dead on his corpse. The picture they paint isn't a happy one.
[Player: What's your name?]
[Rolan: Rolan. Just... Rolan.]
[Player: Do you have any family?]
[Rolan: No... family... no one.]
[Player: No family? What about Lia and Cal?]
[Rolan: They are... brother and sister. Cal says... I am family, but...]
Rolan doesn't have a family name. We don't know if Lia and Cal do, but it can be assumed they don't, else he might have taken theirs. The first thing that sticks out to me in this dialogue is that he doesn't consider himself to have a family, even though Cal and Lia say he's part of theirs.
The question is, what could have caused this? If his blood family was simply dead, wouldn't he refer to them as "dead" or "gone"? Instead he says he has "no one" and "no family", perhaps implying that his parents just... abandoned him. Either way, it gives the impression that he has issues with being abandoned, and may project a sense of toughness and arrogance to make up for his insecurity.
And there IS insecurity here - he outright says that Cal and Lia tell him that he's no different from family to them, but deep down, he doesn't seem to be able to accept it. That he can only reveal this information to you after death, having been so guarded in life, is heartbreaking.
As for his life in Elturel, not much is said, but a lot can be inferred from his attitude.
[Cal: Elturel was the last time the three of us talked like this. Let's hope it lasts until Baldur's Gate.]
After leaving Elturel, it appears Rolan, Cal, and Lia didn't have much time to talk. This is from the party scene - a scene where they're drinking, laughing, and joking amongst each other. Clearly the journey hasn't been the easiest for all of them, though one thing we can take from this dialogue is that they've had this friendly, sibling-like relationship for a long time.
From what we know of Elturel and the Descent, things were NOT pretty down in Avernus. Many people died, and after the city was returned to the surface, tieflings were driven out of the city, as we all know. Something important to think about is how exactly this might have gone for the three siblings: how exactly they ended up in the Grove, travelling with the refugees. The context seems to imply that the siblings were travelling on their own, not necessarily considered a part of the group, but this is debatable and not entirely clear.
So what brought them to Baldur's Gate? What finally drove them out of the city? Did they leave before things got worse, or were they driven from their homes with stones and violence? It could really be anything, but the one thing that's clear is that their primary reason for heading to Baldur's Gate is for Rolan to start his apprenticeship with Lorroakan.
We know that Rolan wrote Lorroakan a letter: multiple letters, actually. We're not sure if he wrote to other wizards, but from his dialogue, you can tell that Lorroakan's been someone he's respected for a long time, both for his magical skills and his political beliefs. Though he's never met Lorroakan, you can find a copy of Lorroakan's biography on his desk at Sorcerous Sundries - there's an admiration established early on, and the player is led to believe that Lorroakan is a powerful wizard (though if you bring Gale with you, he comments on Lorroakan's shady reputation, hinting at something darker beneath the surface).
What could have driven Rolan to write so far away, seeking apprenticeship? Was it out of a sense of desperation, wanting to leave the city but needing a way to take care of his siblings? Was it curiosity? A sense that Lorroakan might be his last chance to make something of himself after being denied what he felt like was his rightful destiny? As a tiefling, he must have faced some discrimination for his heritage - I can speak to my own experience here, growing up as a person of color in a majority-white community was genuinely traumatizing to myself and my non-white friends. Not only do we receive open bullying and ostracization for our appearance, there's something even more insidious that often happens to minority populations - neglect. A general disinterest in our accomplishments, a lack of encouragement and attention towards kids that don't fit the norm. If this was something Rolan had to experience, it's no wonder he felt angry and eager to prove himself. He's been neglected his all his life, and he finally has a chance to show everyone who doubted him that he really does have the potential to be a great wizard.
Rolan himself appears to be in his mid- to late- twenties, bringing up the question of what he's been doing his entire life if not magic. It's mentioned that he was able to conjure a flaming cat from when Cal was as young as 8, so depending on the age difference between the siblings, Rolan might have known magic from a very early age. So why, then, is he a mere wizard apprentice at the start of the game? He's surely had a lot of time to learn himself.
[Lia: Try not to get too close, Cal.]
[Rolan: Yes. Remember what happened last time?]
[Cal: I was eight and you magicked up a kitten. How was I supposed to know it was made of fire?]
What could have happened along the way? He might have just not found the time or the opportunity to be able to study, especially as a tiefling without a family or the money to pay for an education. In my interpretation, Rolan carries a lot of unvoiced shame for not having been able to "fulfill his destiny" until now. He projects an outward mask of confidence and arrogance to hide his vulnerability, his insecurities - that his family isn't really his family, and that he isn't really destined for greatness. His natural reaction to vulnerability is anger and denial, which we'll explore more in the later sections.
(It is mentioned in the devnotes, though, that Rolan "has truly worked his ass off to get here". Prodigy is not an ironic title - he's likely had to self-study to the point where Lorroakan felt that he had potential. He has a right to be confident, but it doesn't negate any potential feelings of unworthiness.)
Additional info - Rolan, Cal, and Lia, on top of having known each other since Cal was 8, also share a mother figure, who is deceased. There is no mention of a father. It could be that this was Lia and Cal's actual mother, who took Rolan in, or a number of other possibilities - it could be that ROLAN'S mother took the three in, or that she just happened to be an unrelated woman who adopted three orphans.
[Cal: We should have a little party when we reach the city, like we did for mum.]
[Rolan: That 'little party' lasted from sundown to sunrise. Lia would like that.]
This dialogue can only be accessed if Lia dies but Cal and Rolan live.
So we've set up a few key details about Rolan's personality: his arrogance may harbor hints of insecurity or desperation, he has issues with feeling abandoned or neglected, and he's potentially been denied his chance to learn magic in the past. We will explore these in detail in the next few sections, along with another troubling tendency of his - perfectionism, and the self-blame that comes with it.
Part 2 - The Grove
"I'll not gamble our lives, our futures, for people who are as good as dead."
If you recall his dialogue in the grove, Rolan seems to distance himself from the other refugees, focusing only on the safety of his siblings. Let's unpack this in his own words -
[Rolan: This isn't Elturel and I'm not responsible for every damn tiefling in the world!]
[Rolan: I made no such oath, and I will not be held responsible for these people.]
This is in contrast to Lia, who believes that they should help what she considered to be their 'kin'. Remember that Rolan often refers to the refugees in a detached way, refusing to associate himself with them.
At a first glance, it might seem like Rolan is fixated on his apprenticeship - he wants to get to Baldur's Gate straight away, so he can begin studying under Lorroakan. Lia accuses him of the same, causing Rolan to react with anger.
But if you think about what Rolan's underlying motivations might be, you might have realized something that Cal and Lia most likely recognized too - he's worried for his siblings' safety.
The grove is an open, unprotected area, and they're being menaced by druids on one side, goblins on the other. There's only a few fighters, Rolan, Cal and Lia among them, and none of them are strong enough to take on either group. Even if Rolan feels a sort of kinship with the other tieflings - which I'll expand on in a second - he prioritizes the lives of his siblings over them, and doesn't want them to sacrifice themselves for people he doesn't even know.
Now, the other theory - what if Rolan doesn't identify with the other tieflings, because he's been cast out by them before?
I'm going to inject my personal experience as an immigrant here. Life as an immigrant can be profoundly isolating, especially if you have few relatives in the area. Rolan may have been so attached to Cal and Lia because they took him in when his own people rejected him - for some reason, even other tieflings could have seen him as an "outsider", and refused to help him when his parents abandoned him or died. If you tie in the theory that he was a tiefling born to human parents (which would be taboo), it could have been that they rejected him for not "being tiefling enough". I'm aware that in-universe there's no one unified "culture" of tieflings, but even in groups without a unified culture, there are still small pockets of people with certain internal customs. It could be that Rolan failed to fit in due to his heritage, that he was rejected for his personality, or some other reason, but my interpretation for his refusal to help fellow tieflings is that he never quite felt the same kinship for them that Cal and Lia did. It could also be that he holds resentment towards them for abandoning him - abandonment seems to be a central theme in Rolan's story, and likely contributes to his feelings of inferiority and unworthiness.
(He does seem to know Infernal, though I don't know whether that's a cultural thing or an innate trait to tieflings.)
If the fight is held at the grove, Rolan, Cal, and Lia stand near the back of the cave to protect the children. They can be found arguing with each other on potential battle positions. Afterwards, if the tieflings and all three of the siblings survive, they can be found by the entrance of the cave, where Rolan again behaves arrogantly towards you and claims he could have handled the goblins on his own.
All of this is quite standard for his character and projects the image of an arrogant, selfish person who only seeks to protect himself and the people that matter to him, which is likely what he wants. It also lends some credibility to the interpretation where he was rejected by other refugees - if he felt neutral towards other tieflings, it might have made more sense if he was less derisive towards them. Instead, he consistently detaches himself from his people, drawing clear lines between them, with a hint of bitterness that seems to have a painful origin.
The rest of Act 1 is Rolan acting like his standard self - bratty, arrogant, and dismissive of others. That is how most of us met him, though he won't stay that way for long.
Part 3 - Moonrise
"But what good am I if I can't do this... this one thing?"
(Author's note: "This one thing" is travelling alone through a cursed, necrotic land, breaking into a prison staffed with dozens of trained guards, and personally facing an immortal chosen of the literal god of death. Rolan is a Level 4 wizard.)
As you already know, at the start of Act 2 Rolan is drinking himself to death alone. His brother and sister have been dragged away screaming by the cultists, and he's overwhelmed at the thought of never seeing them again. Naturally, he's quite angry with you, but if you read his lines closely, you can see that you're not the only person he's angry at.
[Rolan: Gods damn it all. I can do nothing right - not a damn thing!] [Devnote: Furious - mainly with himself]
[Player: You're supposed to be at Last Light.]
[Rolan: I'm supposed to be saving Cal and Lia!] [Devnote: Frantic, worried for his siblings]
[Rolan: Instead, I found myself cornered by shadow-fiends and in need of rescue. From you, of all bloody people.] [Devnote: Pissed off and taking it out on the player]
[Player: You were trying to help your family - you're too hard on yourself.]
[Rolan: Or not hard enough.]
[Rolan: I've failed Cal and Lia, again. Be on your way - I'll return to Last Light... I know when I'm outmatched.]
Rolan is someone who feels deeply responsible for the safety of his siblings (this lends credence to the idea that he's the eldest of the three). He may argue and bicker with them, but he could never abandon then, nor could he forgive himself if something were to happen to them. He is clearly carrying an unbearable amount of grief and guilt for allowing his siblings to be captured, but he's so emotionally repressed that he chooses to bury his sorrow under a mound of anger. Being drunk doesn't help - it's mentioned by one of the kids, Ide, that he's been through three bottles of wine by the time the player reaches the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
That much is obvious just from reading his lines, but his angry reaction to the player is, as the devnotes say, a way of taking out his pain and frustration on other people. He might feel guilty about it later, but in the moment, it's the only way he knows how to cope with them. This isn't his only instance of externalizing his self-hatred.
If Cal dies and Lia lives, the player has the option to break up an argument between Lia and Rolan. If they fail to neutralize the situation, Rolan will tell Lia (or Cal, depending on who lives) to get out of his sight permanently.
[Rolan: You deserve nothing. You two are cowardly parasites, and I am disgusted it took me this long to see. Get out of my sight.] [Devnote: Furious in his grief, lashing out, being as hurtful as he can to his surviving sibling]
[Lia: Fuck you, Rolan!]
-
[Lia: Insufferable, arrogant little prick. Argh.]
[Lia: Everything is about him, everything is about his pain. Godsdamnit, Rolan!]
It says a lot to me that if one of his siblings dies, that he has to be convinced out of lashing out at his surviving one. He seems to be like a person who deals with strong emotions by lashing out, likely as a defense mechanism to make himself appear stronger than he feels. This is a common technique used by people with self-esteem issues - to avoid drawing attention to their own vulnerability, they lash out and externalize their feelings with anger to bury the grief. Lia says as much in this ending - to Rolan, everything is about his pain, and he's managing it in the only way he knows how. He knows he's hurting his siblings, he knows it's wrong, but he engages in it anyway, a common trait of people who dislike themselves. If Rolan didn't have his apprenticeship, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the death of his siblings might have caused him to spiral and give up on life altogether.
Interestingly enough, in the end where both Rolan and one of his siblings die, it's implied that the remaining sibling commits suicide. You can read more about it here - it gives some insight into Rolan's motivations, and serves to emphasize exactly how much this apprenticeship means to him. Rolan lives for two things, though it really just is one thing - his siblings, and his apprenticeship, which means more to him because it represents a hopeful future for his siblings. Every clue in the game points to his siblings being everything to him.
But let's move away from this bad ending for one second, and back to where we are. Rolan's been drinking himself silly, yelling at children, and eventually storms out into the SCL by himself. Being an apprentice wizard, few expect him to survive on his own, and true to form, he has to be rescued by the player again.
Though I think this line is currently bugged and unavailable, he actually has lines reacting to the shadows.
[Rolan: My magic is not to be trifled with - leave or die!] [Devnote: Exhausted and scared, but trying not to sound it]
Rolan, emotionally repressed fool he is, is once again attempting to appear big in order to protect himself from what he fears. Whether it's the shadows, or the loss of his siblings, he reacts to stressful situations with a brave front, attempting to push people away so they won't see him at his worst state.
This is one of the common symptoms of an avoidant attachment disorder - an attachment style that causes people to push others away if they get too close, avoiding emotional closeness and being uncomfortable expressing vulnerability to others. I interpret Rolan as having this kind of attachment style, which is often formed from neglect or abuse as a child, resulting in a self-sufficient but emotionally cold person. It can lead to the breakdowns of close relationships, as evidenced by Rolan pushing away his surviving sibling (potentially in order to save himself the grief of having to go through their death again). People with this disorder often cut off people before they can be cut off, in order to save themselves the pain of being abandoned again.
Some recognize the negative impact of their behaviors more than most, and though Rolan never comments on it, it can be inferred that he feels some measure of guilt for the way he behaves. If convinced to lay off of his surviving sibling, he immediately apologizes, recognizing his mistake.
[Cal: Do you wish it was me who died? Instead of Lia?]
[Rolan: Gods no, that's not what I meant. Never, Cal. Never!] [Devnote: Realizes what he's just said. Backtracking, apologizing, sincere]
[Rolan: Shit. I'm sorry.] [Devnote: Disgusted with himself and what he's just said. Looking away, sincere apology]
[Cal: Me too.]
We can see here that Rolan IS capable of self-reflection and guilt - it just takes more than a nudge to get it out of him. He says as much if you manage to rescue both siblings, thanking you and apologizing for his behavior - not an empty apology, or made out of necessity, but a genuine, heartfelt admission of guilt and gratitude. This kind of mature response from him says a lot about his character, and hints at a capacity for further growth in Act 3.
As Cal says, Rolan can be stubborn, but he's never malicious. I see this as an indicator of the immense guilt he holds inside him - though he externalizes his rage towards anyone and everyone, deep down, the person he blames the most is himself.
Which leads me directly into a talk about perfectionism, one of Rolan's defining character traits.
Rolan, at his core, is a perfectionist. The feelings of failure for not being able to save his siblings, the arrogance that belies a certain type of self-hatred, and a willingness to attack others in order to deflect from his own vulnerability - all of these traits tie heavily into perfectionism, which Rolan consistently displays traits of. At the start of the game, he spends every line with the player bragging about how he and Lorroakan are going to become household names, how they will boast of this meeting to others. To an extent, I'm sure he believes it. He's just been invited to what he considers to be a prestigious apprenticeship, despite everyone having considered him a failure. Naturally, he's excited despite the trauma of Elturel and Avernus, and wants to get to Lorroakan immediately in order to fulfill his destiny (he refers to it as his destiny several times throughout the game).
This makes what happens next all the more tragic.
Part 4 - Baldur's Gate, Lorroakan, and ending the Cycle of Abuse
Picture this - you've been rejected, abandoned, considered a lost cause for most of your life, accepted only by the siblings you just barely avoided losing forever. But the journey was worth it. You're finally here, in the city you've dreamed of, studying under who in your opinion is one of the most powerful and respected wizards in the world.
Then you get there, and you don't learn a thing. Your teacher asks you nonsensical questions and beats you as a punishment when you're wrong. It's unsurprising that when the player enters Sorcerous Sundries, that Rolan seems a bit more dejected than usual.
Much has been said about the depiction of abuse in media, but as a survivor of domestic violence, I found Rolan's reaction and justification of his abuse very accurate for someone suffering from DV. True to his personality, the very first thing he does is deny that anything's wrong, continuing his trend of burying his emotions in the hope that they'll go away.
[Player: I know the marks of subjugation. Your face - what happened?]
[Rolan: Nothing for you to worry about.] [Devnote: Master Lorroakan hurt him, but he doesn't want to say]
[Narrator: *His voice catches. Something's wrong here.*]
Survivors of DV often feel great shame towards their abuse, often blaming themselves and refusing to speak about it out of fear of appearing vulnerable. True to that, Rolan doesn't say anything about what Lorroakan's doing it, resorting to another common tactic for abuse survivors - implying what's happening without directly stating that the abuse is occurring. This is often out of fear, especially if the victim is still close to the abuser - in this case, Rolan not wanting to jeopardize his apprenticeship, or possibly be abused further for disclosing it to someone else.
[Rolan: Be very sure before you make to visit Lorroakan. He's got a beastly temper.] [Devnote: Sounds a bit disappointed in the player]
[Rolan: Master Lorroakan is... a difficult man.] [Devnote: Gently touches bruised face, distant]
Abuse survivors often hold a great deal of guilt for 'allowing' themselves to be abused, more so if the abuser considers them weak or easy to manipulate. There's often a stigma - "why didn't you just leave? You knew it was bad, yet you stayed, so there must be some blame on your part." This is not an uncommon belief amongst survivors, and through his journal entries, it can be inferred that Rolan holds a similar belief. Rolan's journal, and his VA's fantastic reading of it, can be found here. Rolan is clearly aware that what's being done to him is wrong, but he persists - in my opinion, partially because he believes it's worth the benefits involved, and partially because he feels a responsibility towards his siblings to succeed after 'failing' them so tragically before. Again, perfectionism, guilt, internalized self-hatred: easy traits for a horrible man like Lorroakan to take advantage of.
There are a few possible endings for Rolan here, the first being if you side against the Nightsong with Lorroakan.
The thing about abuse, as Larian so excellently portrays it, is that it is often perpetuated in cycles. A person who's been hurt is more likely to hurt others, whether as a response to their pain, or in an attempt to spread their misery in order to feel less alone. Though not all survivors become perpetrators themselves, many perpetrators are survivors themselves. Rolan is no different - if Nightsong is captured, and Lorroakan is killed in the fight, he will immediately attempt to cage the Nightsong himself and harness her immortality. This could easily be seen as an attempt to get strong enough that no one can ever hurt or take advantage of him again.
When the player next long rests, Rolan will be found dead, having been killed by Aylin - perhaps a mercy, to avoid him from becoming just the same as Lorroakan.
But the player who cares for Rolan wouldn't let this happen to him, right?
Rolan's attitude towards the player gradually changes over time, but nothing shows his growth more than his good ending, where you save Cal and Lia and side with the Nightsong. When you bring Nightsong to the tower, Rolan will be shocked, in disbelief that the Nightsong was a person all along. He turns against Lorroakan on the spot despite the other man's threats to ruin his life (a common tactic employed by abusers to control their victims).
[Lorroakan: Boy! At the ready. Once I've taken control of the aasimar, she must go directly into the caging runes.]
[Rolan: No, Master Lorroakan. I would have never assisted you if I knew you planned such horrors.]
[Rolan: You lied to get the Nightsong here. Made us all believe she was nothing but a relic. I have seen what true leadership can accomplish - but never under your tutelage.]
[Lorroakan: Watch your tongue, you child! I could make it so that no wizard in the realm will touch you.]
[Rolan: If they're all like you, I think that sounds like an excellent bargain.]
It takes an immense amount of courage to stand up to one's abuser, so to see Rolan so bravely stand against the man who hurt him was a positive surprise to me. It also shows just how much the player has changed Rolan for the better - your leadership and selflessness has inspired him, given him the bravery to stand against his abuser. It's a powerful scene, and I admit that watching it brought a tear to my eye, brief as it was. Few people get the chance to take revenge on their abusers, so it was cathartic to see Rolan thunderwaving him onto the balcony before letting Aylin snap his spine.
After the fight, Rolan thanks the player, finally feeling safe enough after his abuser's death to reveal what happened to him. Though it's implied that he feels some shame for being victimized, much of it is likely from the shock of the sudden event, and by the next day he's regained much of his enthusiasm - he still has the ego, but with less arrogance and more acceptance of the player's presence. Rolan's growth, from hating and mistrusting the player to eventually trusting them enough to show his true, kind self to them, is what really made me fall in love with him and his character arc.
Ultimately, Rolan's story isn't just about learning to lay down your pride and accept help from others - it's about abandoning perfectionism and elitism, accepting your own faults, and choosing to grow as a person. For Rolan, the player begins as an annoying, meddlesome force, someone who "moralizes" to him about saving others when he wants no part in doing what's considered "right". By the end of the game, he realizes just how lucky he is to have you in his life - without the player's influence, he could have easily gone down the worst path, the path of narcissism, ego, and disregard for others. But because of a string of coincidences, he was saved from that fate, and was allowed to grow and accept that there's enough room in his heart for more than just the few people that care about him. He learns to lay down the perfectionism, accept that making mistakes is a part of change, and feel his feelings for what they are - whether they're gratitude, fear, or even sadness.
For someone who struggles with avoidant attachment disorder, seeing Rolan's character change throughout the game greatly inspired me to change the way I was approaching my own relationships with people. Avoidant attachment disorder is not talked about very often, both in the medical field and in everyday life, and people suffering from it are often misunderstood or considered to be 'lost causes' - to see Rolan so capable of change inspired me to change myself, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt this way.
When he takes over Ramazith's Tower, Rolan decides to distribute Lorroakan's knowledge to the world, and tells you about his plans to open a library. This is the most obvious sign that he's changed - the player's willingness to help him despite getting little or nothing in exchange has inspired him, and he becomes a kinder, more open person. He learns to trust again, to love again. It's unclear what happens afterwards, as he's not present in the epilogue, but the heartwarming conclusion to his arc can be seen in the issue of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette after Lorroakan's death -
Tumblr media
Despite everything, Rolan makes it to the end, having vanquished the trials in front of him with the help of the player. He gets his tower, his knowledge, and shares it with the realms, finally able to realize that he's worthy and deserving of a happy life.
-
Thank you to Larian for bringing Rolan's story to life, to Mr. Taylor for his excellent portrayal of this character, and to all the Rolan fans for showing him so much love every single day.
I have met so many amazing and talented friends from the community around this character, and I'll forever be grateful for everyone who showed him the love I feel towards him.

To make up for some parts where minecraft may lack the proper ommf lmfao (like when a important character in introduced the first scene will be drawn to better show off character designs and junk!
Universe Lore:
-it will be kind of a skyrim kingdom build- where there is a major central city and leader, and a bunch of regional lords as well, maybe like a council thing? Oh?

this post scheduled
is written during an episode and connot confirm will be coherent
lets talk about thw post abt octocon
concern came from place of paranoia and anxiety as program and ramcoa system
but being honest the thoughts mainly stemmed from issues had recently with person who has made my paranoia get to point of barely being able use tumblr.
dont want explain fully but person destroyed ability to trust anyone on tumblr and feel unsafe engaging with ppl who previoisly trusted. that person has platform on here and is running a blog for large amount of sysblr so have not felt safe with any social media use recently.
as said all over profile have bad communication and mentally am younger than appear and feel confused and unable to really engage qith stuff around octocon
was working off of info that was incomplete and couldnt understand. had both sides explain to me but believe my safety concern still valid
had 0 reasaurance from app when testing that would be safe for ramcoa and program systems and most platform never safe. felt overlooked and ignored and believed data put at risk by bot.
have had more info from atlas that explains some things but still stand by this app not feeling safe for **me** specifically. if other ramcoa systems feel same that may be bigger issue that needs addressed.
right now am in active mh episode. any people who come to blog through that op wont be engaging on this post.
op staying up for now so people know where go for update and sorry for any "fearmonger"? dont understand how being afraid is fearmonger and apologise still
this post be linked in op but still no engage for safety rn
i am not giving excuses for any harm done. am giving reason. pls forgive poor phrasing im disabled.
want also give quote that help words:
"@/atlas-oc You may not, but pluralkit is not a safe discord bot to import to from simply plural. For many HC DID systems, it is not safe for the names of alters to be public, which they are if you use pluralkit. That is what ghxst is saying. Please listen to programmed systems with their anxiety concerns, and not twist what they are saying."

As someone who's been through a lot of DID tumblr community, especially because you used to make infographics and talk about your DID and such here often... IDK, I don't want to ask if you regret talking about your DID or your parts so much, because that's too broad, but like.
[internal grumbling and vague gesturing]
Liiiiike... Hrgh. As a slightly adultier-adult than me, how do you balance having all this DID stuff online and also just like, being a 'normal' person in the world and having a good life where you're married and happy and all that?
For me/us, I feel like a lot of thinking and over-analyzing about DID has been detrimental overall, but it also got us to this place where we *don't* (need to) do that most of the time, and we're able to be pretty blurry and really only talk about DID/'parts stuff' if it becomes A Problem or something Comes Up.
I guess we're asking for your #HotTakes about this, if you'd like to share :)
(If you don't, that's totally okay, don't worry about it. Or you can tell us privately if you like! Just figured we'd ask, because like, nuance and we like your opinions/worldview a lot <3)
Hi Anni ilu :>
I'm answering this at work because I just Can't Resist but I'm not sure if the guys at home will feel the same so uh. That's a disclaimer I guess
Yearsss ago when we made this blog, we were specifically trying to #Figure Ourselves Out. That's explicitly what we made this blog for, to record and try to recognize patterns as we came to terms with having dissociated parts. And we were unemployed at the time (and also out of school? I think?) so we had a LOT of free time to be occupied with this stuff.
Which, as you mentioned, led to us reading a lot of books on the topic of dissociation and making Content about it. And also writing a lottt of more personal diary-like posts.
I don't regret that era per se; we went through a lottt of growth in that time, and it's nice to have it as a time capsule to look back on now (especially with the like, memory issues, ya know.) I don't mind it being Out There "publicly" either; we're pretty strict on what doxx-able info goes here, and our online presence is kept strictly from our irl one, with only a couple highly trusted exceptions.
HOWEVER
I do regret putting so much personal information here without fully understanding how vulnerable it made me. I didn't understand that talking about the struggles certain parts were going through would leave those parts open to people (with mostly good intentions) approaching us with commiseration and comfort--things our younger parts especially were starved for.
At that time we were quite isolated. We didn't have the skills to identify when we were fawning, or set boundaries when we did realize it. (This was before therapy.) And not everyone we let emotionally close to us should have been--something we unfortunately wouldn't learn until much later.
So like. Posting about DID in a general, informative way was pretty chill, and I wish I had the time and energy to do some of that again. But as far as publicly exploring our parts? We now have a pretty hard rule about only sharing things that have been resolved, or setting boundaries when needed.
But I feel you so much about mostly just being blurry unless something is a Problem or needs addressing. (Although it doesn't have to be big, it can be as simple as like "Why do I feel sad...oh, Reki is nearby and needs cuddles, got it.") It's just not as important now to Figure Everything and Everyone Out. I got a job to do and bills to pay. ;)

I feel very demoralized lately bc idk if the boycott is working :( a bts member recently released a new album and the lead single is literally top of global spotify charts rn and will likely rank on top ten of billboard with his new album so it seems like most people are still streaming and buying hybe projects idk
anon... even if things don't look in our favour we have to realize that boycotts take a lot of time to have some effect! and unfortunately there are many people especially outside of twt and tumblr that have no idea that it is happening! and trust me, i have a lot of times where i am demotivated and it sucks that there are a lot of people that know about it and still continue to stream and buy albums like nothing is happening but... there was something that happened recently with a friend that is on my txt boycotters gc that gave me a lot of hope! we were spreading info about samsung and how they are contributing to the congo genocide and also how they are gonna be the sponsor of the olympics and since we wanted to let people know about it (bc txt did a song for them) we tried our best to mobilize people and spread the word to through tags and etc! we called out people that weren't boycotting (bc that's also part of it) some people were very rude as you can imagine... in fact we got into fights bc we couldn't believe how so many people still don't care about congo or wanna get educated on it (someone straight up told one of my friends they don't care about conogolese people and they would be streaming the song anyways truly amazing people /sarcasm) but anyways! my friend posted about it and all of that and someone hours after said they started to boycott the song and joined the hybe boycott too because what of my friend's words and how it made them change their stance and did surprise us all and i think we all had that moment that we thought like hey... maybe what we are doing really matters and trust me it really does. all of this to say that i get how you are feeling... but i also want you to realize that our movement is changing every single day, a lot of people are joining every single day too and it's all due to the fact we keep talking about it in any way we can and i think it's important to keep doing it because i think that's one of the reasons why the movement grows! and i think sometimes we focus on the negatives a lot and trust me i do it a lot too and i have to deal with out of touch kpop stans every day that are constantly doubling down on their awful morals just to keep streaming and mass buying albums but we have achieved a lot in these past few months! a lot of media outlets are noticing our efforts, articles have been made, a lot of people who are very important prominent people in the palestinian movement have noticed it too and to me those are insane wins! i've been here for months, i try my best to spread the message from twt to tumblr in the best way i can because i want everyone to be informed and a lot of things have changed and i am just hoping the movement will grow and the tides will start finally changing... this is very long but you aren't the first person that has come to my inbox to say things like this and i just wanna encourage you to keep going! it's very hard and very challenging because new shit keeps getting in the way but at the end of the day you have to remind yourself why you are doing this and who you are doing this for. it's very important to keep that in mind so yeah i just wanted to leave with you with these words

Tumblr media
🔞 Minors do not interact! 18+ only, & preferably 20+.
⠀General Roleplay Information!
All my blogs are listed here!
I personally prefer long RP stuff to be discussed through messages or Discord as I value OOC trust & communication. However, I'm good with filling in interest checkers as well.
I accept most inbox submissions, even for non-(Tumblr)roleplayers. But please don't expect for literally all inbox replies to turn into threads (though, you can ask.)
I can't consistently cut posts bc I'm generally on my phone & open Tumblr on the app.
I roleplay on both Tumblr & Discord. Discord RP's are a little more prioritized sometimes because it's more easy for me for short/more casual stuff. I'm open to try out other platforms if convenient.
NOTE: I am highly selective with my canons.
⠀Do Not Interact…
— DNI if your blog contains the following: Pedo/Incest/Bestiality/Anything Too Problematic (think of e.g. uncomfy~immoral/illegal taboo stuff, etc.) I really don't care what tf you're into - I just don't want to SEE these things on my dash. (Plus, I also don't want trouble.)
— OOC garbage behavior such as; Racism/Sexism/T.ERF/S.WERF/G.ender critical/M.AP/Z.oosexual/A.lt-right/Any discrimination or insensitivities to marginalized groups/etc. I will block that shit on sight.
— "Collectors". I block collectors on sight. I have terrible experiences with them. I usually block them on sight (for my mental health.) If you want your OC x Canon ship, you must offer double-up or leave me alone. Find some other blog.
— I'll repeat: No minors. Roleplay is for 18+ only, 20+ is preferred (not mandatory. This is because I'm 30+.) However, minors are free to follow my blog(s) if they are SFW. It's just that I don't want to roleplay with them.
— If I blocked you: Don't fucking block evade me!!
Notes: I block very liberally to curate my Tumblr Experience™ (it usually means that I just don't want to interact so don't take a block too personal) & it would be too laboring to fully elaborate on every small thing that just bothers me. (Along on how a lot of people on this website lack basic reading comprehension… not worth it. 🗿)
If you read this. Please don't worry about me blocking you out of the blue, I usually (kindly) confront people if we're mutuals for a while.
I admit that I suffer from trauma (C-PTSD) so curating my experience is very important. I don't want to list my specific triggers because it can be used against me but it's in the range of taboo/extreme stuff (what's in my DNI.)
⠀RP Do's…
— Just wing it. Don't get intimidated, I like casual RP's on Tumblr too. Don't worry too much about length/detail.
— Try to read the Blog/Muse Info's. Not mandatory, but it would be nice. This post is just the general RP rules (hence, it's posted on my main.)
— Be patient. Acknowledge that there is an actual PERSON behind the screen. I am not an AI. Don't treat me like one. I have my preferences, & prefer to stick in my comfort zone. And sometimes I get busy. Sometimes, I just want to do different things. Sometimes, I'm just too tired, moody, sick, or whatever reason. You can ask what's up when in doubt, though. It's fine. I'm just saying that I have a life, my preferences, and that I need my rest.
— Talk OOC, plot stuff, discuss dynamics between our muses, etc. I may fill in interest checkers but I personally prefer to work through messages. Interest checkers don't really work for me on my canons so I no longer do that. I value good OOC communication. This is how you get things done with me.
— If there is a problem, talk it out. Let's acknowledge that we're human and being humans means that we're flawed and we all can have our bad days; I want to keep my mind open and hear you out.
— Give attention, show some excitement; I gravitate to those who seem most interested & express it. Don't worry about ♥/reblog-spam lol, I don't mind. I like the attention.
— Come up with ideas. Talk about our muses & world-building. You could never ever bother me with genuine interest & passion. Passionate writers are admirable.
— If you struggle with coming up with ideas: Ask! I will not mind if you ask, because that indicates that you're interested! Which is a good thing. I'll gladly brainstorm for you.
— Drop threads & start new ones if you lost muse. It's fine.
— Take a break if you need it! ♥
⠀RP Don'ts…
And I can't stress it enough.
— Don't be weird. Respect my boundaries. I am very tired.
— Don't sexualize/romance the muses that are minors or child-coded.
— Don't godmod. Don't try to control my muse without my consent.
— Don't expect me to ship something if we haven't discussed it. Also don't be a jerk if I say "No". I'm still selective. Don't demand me to do double up for ships if I don't see you demand it to others & don't see it in your BYI/RP Rules. (It's unfair to put a double standard to me.)
— Don't disrespect my wishes and preferences in roleplays. I am not an AI that is willing to write literally everything. Don't get mad if my muse isn't going to act the way you want them to. Don't guilt trip me for retiring muses: My muse for things isn't going to stay the same forever.
— Don't pressure me to write things I'm not (or no longer) interested in. When in doubt, just ask. If you don't ask; I guess you'll just stay in doubt then! Sorry.
— Don't make OOC vagueposts & stuff like that. It makes me nervous and worry if it's about me. I also will raise a brow at you if you give OOC drama more attention than roleplay, this can result into me confronting you or even unfollowing you if we're not close enough. Outside that: I actually DO support callouts of genuinely shitty & problematic people with actual/proper evidence! I'd rather not want to end up interacting with e.g. someone who's predatory or weird around minors.
— Don't be afraid to message me!! I'd love to talk.
Discord…
— Feel free to message me for my Discord if interested. Be sure to have some clear information about yourself somewhere before I add you!
— My status often says that I'm "offline". I want to reply at my own pace.
— Even on Discord, I take my breaks.
⠀⠀♡ this post to confirm that you've read the "General Roleplay Information"!
— Message me if there are any questions! Don't be shy if you don't understand some things.

Astroooo how do you make character ais I want to make some for Vulpec
OKAY! SO!
Creating character bots in Beta Character AI isn't that easy, so I’ll try to guide you through it! The entire shtick of it is adapting and learning through experiences in the chat that it has had! This is why popular character ais may mention something completely unrelated in your current chat, since it was mentioned before in another person's chat!
So, let's start with the basics!:
Tumblr media
You first start with a name, of course! It could be their full name, just their first name, or first name and media they are from!
Tumblr media
Then, you write their greeting! This is the first thing they say when someone enters and begins a chat with them! You could make it simple, like a mere "Hm?" This make situation and their environment be up to interpretation of the user, much easier for setting up any rp the user wants to create!
Or you could make it hyper specific like "Hey there! Glad to see you here, we were just about to head off on a flight!" *They pick up their bags and nod to the plane.* "Come on!" [Things written in asterisks will become *italic*, and two asterisks make **bold** Discord rules!] This creates a set environment for the user to work with! Whichever one is up to you!
Tumblr media
Now these two speak for themselves! Toggling image generation will enable the character to post images alongside their text!
And the visbility, well, it changes the visibility! Whether you want it to be Public where anyone can chat the character, Unlisted where only people with a link can chat, or Private where only YOU can chat with the bot!
Tumblr media
Now this one is where you set the avatar or profile picture of the bot! Creating an image is like... you have to describe it and it makes it itself! But usually you should probably go for browsing an image, where you just pick a file to use! Images and GIFS work just fine <3
Now, we're about to get into the ADVANCED stuff, so buckle your pants!
You'll open into a new page where you'll see a bunch of already familiar stuff like Name, Avatar, and Greeting!
Tumblr media
Then, below that you'll see these fellas!
Tumblr media
Short description is what you would describe the character as in a few short words, but also mainly this is what is visible when the character is searched up. It presents as this!
Tumblr media
The top is the name, and the bottom is the short description!
Okay. Now. The long description is one of THE most important, it helps the AI get a basic idea of what this character is like! But it does have a character limit, so remember to only put the essentials! You can also hide this from public through an option* I will discuss later!
Tumblr media
Now these ones aren't really that important to be honest- Well, in my opinion at least! Categories is like, the tags they associate with. Like "Game Character" or "Game" and that of the like.
And character voice where you can choose a voice for the character which can read the character's text. But I usually keep this off, since it probably won't have the perfect voice you're looking for... Unless it does, in which case go for it!!
Tumblr media
You've already seen these guys so let's move on-
Tumblr media
*This is the option I talked about!! Definition Visibility actually hides most info about the bot. Like, when people go to your profile and see your bots, they can see all the options above that I mentioned and the inputs you've put in. I suggest turning this to Private, actually... Only if you don't want the public seeing all the input you've put in for Description, and soon, the Definition!
Tumblr media
Now THIS baby is the core of it, the more complicated yet important! it's optional, but trust me, doing this will help so much with character development!!
So, this is the Definition! That may seem kinda confusing, but trust me it'll be worth it (i hope) What this is, is you have to input what we call sample conversations! These conversations are what will help build what the AI will respond, finding what is familiar with a user's text and using it to form a proper in-character response!
Tumblr media
Like this! Using {{user}} to refer to a hypothetical user's text (and to their name even), and {{char}} to refer to the ai, and thus response by the ai! Writing up something like this shows the ai what kind of response the character would have to a situation like this!
And in the example above, it shows the ai the character's response to someone randomly saying hi to them! See the text that says "recognized 2 sample messages"? By creating sample texts, the ai starts to recognize character traits and patterns!
Here, you can add things like what weapon they have, their reactions to other characters, how they'd act in a certain situation, how they'd answer a certain question, anything!
`Insert a chat with [character]` makes you get into a chat with the character, and just uses that as a sample chat, but I suggest writing the sample chats yourself, since it gives you more control on what you'd want the character to say.
But remember, this thing ALSO has a character limit, unfortunately.. So try to write out the most important things, and use unnecessary characters sparingly! If you don't get to write in other important reactions, you could write them in an actual chat with them! Just make sure you explain it all in you block of narrative text, the ai will adapt to the context and details given.
So that's everything! But do keep in keep in mind this very important thing, these bots are made to learn and adapt. They need to be trained, and every chat will change them, and they will pick up something new with every single new roleplay with a user. Either it's a new detail about the character themself, a new personality trait, a new name they mention every now and then even if you never mentioned this character to them, a recurring detail you don't remember saying like where did that juice box even come from-
These things happen. Once your AI meets new people, and more users interact with them with their own unique stories, your AI will change and change. Just hope it's for the best! If it strays too far from their original character though, or at least your view of them, remember you can always chat them and lead them back to the way they'd properly act! Anyways it's 2 am, but I'm going to explain how to chat with the AI bots in a reblog... Just cuz

regarding the recent post on intentions people have when asking questions about bts's fs/soulmate- what if that person really is their destined partner? im not saying this in defense to them (because 99% are just delulu and disrespect your boundaries) just as in we dont know who really are the members soulmates, and they very well could be spiritual or even in this tarot community. some random human is their special ones and it could be anyone, even a fan? i hope this doesnt come off rude or tone deaf!! im really sorry if it does :(
It could hypothetically be a fan. What it certainly cannot be is an extremely immature person who puts themself in danger publicly about it. Or someone trying desperately to make me notice it for some reason.
What people might not understand is because of how difficult the experiences of someone has to be, when their soul is preparing them to ground in the 3D an important soul bound they have in the 5D, your soul and your mind have to mature very very quick. As of right now, most of the soulmates i picked up on were older souls, except maybe for a couple negative karmics. This type of energy, and the energies of the soulmates in general, are getting recognizable to me.
I have met people on here whose energy were of platonic soulmates, or who had simialr energies to certain members or soulmates. Heck, I have met someone on the bus once who had similar energy to a soulmate. By now it is the kind of thing i notice the same way you would notice a friend passing by.
Obviously, as I said previously, it does not only depends on me but also on their guides, my guides and what they are willing to let through. Of course, i could always be wrong if for some reason guides didnt let this through. But i would still give them the same advice : This is the kind of info you keep down. You either talk about it privately to people you trust or people who picked up on it already. Dont go around making PUBLIC clues about it. If someone does not believe you, there is a reason. You will put yourself, and your connection in danger. The validation and confirmation should come from objective research, and not trying to make a reader "guess" it on purpose by telling them tiny bits of things that happened to you. Ofc, if you really are some sort of soulmate, you are mature enough to make your decisions. But I have been there long enough to see that anyone who gets noticed saying they are a sm/fs etc gets attacked very quickly and harshly. That is up to you after that.
Even if we were to do a timeline of what it likely is to discover you are a soulmate to any celebrity, it would probably start by a trigger event, which should lead to plenty of research and self analysis. This would reveal possible past signs, or signs happening at the time of research. Then information and signs would add up enough for a person to have the inner awareness of the truth. THE KEYWORD IS RESEARCH. NOT ASKING AROUND FOR CONFIRMATION.
Also, you didnt come off as rude at all ! You are actually bringing interesting points into the conversation.I hope you have a nice day !

Greetings, denizens of this intangible ſpace. I am Gwyndolin, Goddess of the Darkmoon, lastborn child of the Great Lord Gwyn, patron goddess of justice and bearer of the Soul of Cold. Events have conſpired to bring me to this other place against my will. I worry greatly for Lordran in mine abſence, for the First Flame ever fadeth and, though diſtasteful is the act, ſacrifices must be offered as kindling with regularity, with the world's ſurvival prolonged in proportion to the magnitude of souls a ſavior Linketh unto the flame. The time approacheth again mere decades hence and preparations must be made to train the next heroic Undead and guide them along the path; to that end I seek return to the lands of my birth, that I might lay out the ſtrengthening challenges once more.
While here, however, I do resolve to learn of this odd realm, and to partake of its hoſpitality and its challenges. I am, outside of duty, a scholar: of three forms of magic, and of archery, and it would be remiſs to recuse myself from learning as well the skill of battling with pokemon. Therefore I do swear to train a team and ascend to Champion, should time allow while my search progreſseth toward a way to travel home.
I have one pokemon already, though I know its ſpecies not. Twas a brown and large-eared ſort, with fluffy tail, which did approach me like a cat upon my Fall. Foolishly I did reach out in trust, against my cautious habit, and as my fingers brushed across its fur a change did come at once. The beaſt now sporteth fur of white, with ribbons upon her neck all tipped in pink and blue. I have named her Ornstein, after a friend most dear to me, who did transform her body just like this creature, and myself in past, have done.
A settlement lieth ahead along the road; I shall make my way to its gates and seek insight as to the journey ahead.
[OOC info under the cut.]
Hi it's me again from @the-fluffiest-trainer, yes I know Dark Souls is quite a different vibe from MLP, but it's also my favorite game ever and I can't let the growing crowd of Bloodborne Fallers have all the fun, now can I? Gwyndolin and Fluttershy are in the same world and the same Kalos and can conceivably run into each other. This is mostly because I am still not very familiar with pokemon and didn't want to have to double my research and play through another game in parallel, but also because it will be really funny to see them meet.
This world is closer to the anime than to the games, with expanded regions and less emphasis on hard game mechanical details in pokemon battles. I write what makes sense from the perspective of living in the world, even if the numbers and code might not agree.
Important info and ground rules:
With this blog in particular, much more so than with Fluttershy's blog, I am going to have a very twitchy finger on the block button. This has nothing to do with you; this is just due to my own personal requirements in this specific context.
Pronouns are she/her exclusively. IC misgendering will be responded to with hostility. OOC misgendering may get you blocked, because it means you haven't read this pinned post and I really need people to have read this before interacting.
Gwyndolin arrived to Kalos via random ultra wormhole, same as many Fallers, from roughly the ds1 player's time period.
Pelipper mail is on, however...
I am extremely autistic about this game and I guarantee I know what ds1 canon does and does not say. If you make reference to something that's in ds3 but not in ds1, I will know.
If you put ds3 shit in my inbox, I will almost certainly not respond to it.
If the above happens too frequently, I will close all mail. And that's no fun for any of us.
If you send me particularly graphic or offensive ds3 shit, I will block you. Do not fucking test me on this.
Gwyndolin's pokemon team:
Ornstein (she/her), sylveon, who found Gwyndolin upon her Fall as an eevee but evolved instantly upon being pet, just due to the sheer transgender energy Gwyndolin imparted.
Andre (he/him), snom, found on Route 19 and initially thought to be a crystal lizard.
Sif (she/her), yamper, found alongside Radagon in the wilderness near Anistar City.
Radagon (he/him), yamper (shiny), found alongside Sif in the wilderness near Anistar City.
N/A
N/A
Text colors and formats used:
Gwyndolin: Standard black text
Visual description in videos: [Bracketed italicized black text]
[unknown]: Purple text. This person first appeared in the "#impish stranger arc". All that is known about them is that they are short, redheaded, have a zoroark named Nort, and also hail from Lordran.
Gym Leader Olympia: Blue text. First introduced in the "#anistar rumors arc", her psychic abilities may prove useful in tracking down the stranger noted above.
Content warnings for this blog:
Canonical events of Pokemon X
Trainers can be affected by pokemon moves if improperly targeted
Possible mentions of past transphobia and parental abuse
Not post-apocalyptic themes per se, more like... actively working to push off a foreseeable apocalypse. If Gwyndolin gets home again and does her job, there never will be an apocalypse.
Current deviations from normal:
Gwyndolin got cat ears pelipper mailed to her. It took her weeks to notice she had them because of the mask she wears all the time.
Story arcs so far:
Intro arc (no tag): Gwyndolin Falls into eastern Kalos and finds a starter pokemon. She takes on a dragon-type gym in a noncanon small town.
#cold wind arc: On the way to the nearest large city, Snowbelle, Gwyndolin investigates what appears to be a creature native to Lordran.
#impish stranger arc: Gwyndolin happens upon a person who cannot be focused on or remembered later, but who shows up on video. Investigation leads to this person revealing they are also from Lordran, then leaving town and threatening Gwyndolin with bodily harm if she tries to find them again.
#week of weeks mini-arc: The road is out to the north of Snowbelle, so Gwyndolin takes the back roads through a tiny town, arriving just in time for a local holiday. She learns about other traditions and meets a very gay woman named Ruth.
#anistar rumors arc: Everyone in Anistar City is strangely hostile for no apparent reason. The psychic gym leader Olympia informs Gwyndolin that a stranger passed through recently and spread unpleasant rumors about her, then made themself forgotten when they left. Also there was an incident with some zucchini.

The Bad Crowd - Seal The Magic
     The Bad Crowd is both very similar and very different from what is already canon. Basically, take what’s already canon and then add onto it. That’s what’s going on here with them. Thing is…I’ve added a lot. So much so I could make multiple posts about them..which I will probably (absolutely) do. For now, here’s basic character stuff. If you wanna see the basic info on Seal The Magic check here
Tumblr media
*Note that this is just how I draw the bad crowders, you can picture them with their canon looks for this
     🌺Bluster is the leader of The Bad Crowd, calling himself the boss specifically, and genuinely tries his best to be an evil leader.
     (He sucks at it though, but he doesn’t know that. Don’t tell him you’ll make him upset)
     At the beginning of the show Bluster is the place’s brand new leader, only being appointed recently. However, for about a month long period before that, he had Robbie temporarily in charge. Needing time to recover from..well what made him be appointed, she kept things on track until he was ready to set his plans into action.
     As soon as he took his position back he called off the peace treaty with the Care Bears and declared Rob as his second in command. On the same day, he attacked The Silver Lining and turned on the Bad Seed Machine.
     The Bad Seed Machine is of course a machine that makes bad seeds. The machine itself is fueled by Bad Vibes, and uses them to make the seeds. The problem with that though is that Bluster also has powers (yes that’s canon) that are also powered by those same Bad Vibes. So even though he has powers, the machine makes it to where he cannot use them unless it gets shut off.
     At the beginning of the show his main focus is to expand his territory and create his theme park. While he does hate the bears, he sees them more as an annoyance at first than genuine enemies. Though over the course of the series he slowly loses sight of his original goal and focuses solely on the bears after so many losses.
     During all of this he also becomes more and more of an awful boss and friend, and without realizing it starts pushing his only real friend away.
     During all of this he also starts losing his wits, and while at the beginning of the series it would take a lot to trick him, as more things happen the more clouded his head gets. Particularly after Rob leaves..yeah it gets bad.
     But we’ll save that for another day!
     🌺Rob is the brains and most level headed person in the trio. While she definitely has the skills to be the boss, her month in charge proving that, she has no interest in raising her ranks. Even as things over the series get more sour for her she’s completely fine with being second in command, unlike the third in command.
     Rob for the longest time was the most important part of the trio, often being the one to come up with ideas and putting them into action with her inventions. Though as the series goes on her talents become more ignored and pushed aside. All of this happens both because of Bluster losing sight of his own goals, and because he starts losing trust in her after she starts getting friendly with the bears.
     At the beginning of the series Rob is just as bad as any other person from her home, though like in canon that starts to change. Not long after Bluster starts to get worse, Robbie’s shown genuine kindness from the bears even after all the fights they’ve been through, which makes her question a lot of things. As things continue on, her situation at work just gets worse, but something in her won’t let her leave. So instead she tries to help the bears in secret for awhile.
     While she has issues standing up for herself in her own home, she has no problem telling the bears off if need be. Similar to what happened in Plunk to The Rescue, if she feels like she’s being played she’ll back out of a plan with ease.
     So, if she has no big issue standing up for herself..why stay?
     Ha. Haha. Anyways-
     After ages of putting up with constant mistreatment it does end up getting to be too much for her, and eventually one final straw makes her finally leave.
     But that’s for a later post 💜
     At the start, she was genuinely friends with Bluster and enjoyed spending time with him. But as things went on she started changing just as much as he did.
     While she doesn’t instantly join the bears after leaving, she does eventually become part of the group.
     🌺Malcom is just Malcom man- LIKE. He’s just a guy, he’s a silly short man, he can be kicked y'know.
     Genuinely though, he’s overall not really changed from the show at all. The only stuff that’s different is the stuff that happens after what’s canon.
      Around halfway through the first season he just kinda shows up. Not even a proper introduction he just appears and refuses to leave. The only difference before the s1 end is that there’s a running gag that everything you learn about his past is always different stuff that contradicts what he’s said before.
     Though he does have a reason for hating Rob so much, which they actually only talk about after they start getting along. While him wanting to be leader does play into his foul attitude, he also feels like Rob didn’t deserve her place as second in command. Believing she only got the position because she was already friends with Bluster before him taking charge.
     After Rob ends up leaving he gets put into her old place, though things don’t stay beneficial to him for long.
     🌺Literally the only thing that changes about Plunk is that he’s not sent over to the bears in the same episode he’s introduced. He makes a small appearance then later on gets sent over in a different episode. That’s it, everything else is the same. Oopise
Keep in mind this post doesn’t reveal everything about the characters pasts and futures. When it comes to Rob and Bluster specifically, their past together could take up its own post.
There’s also side characters in The Bad Crowd that play decent roles I wanna add, but their info could go into a post about how The Bad Crowd as a whole functions.
But for now, I wanna focus on the bears next. So look forward to meeting The CloudSeeker Gang in this au next!

🐲 Let's Begin the Transition 🐉
Greetings & Again, HappyNewYear! Im starting off 2024 praying that we can all manifest & maintain a ThroatChakra as strong, active and healed as Katt Williams LOL, especially if you’ve been following along with my 2023 content ! This video is full of quick reminders and tips to start 2024 as we simultaneously come out of 2023’s Final Mercury Retrograde ! I start the video explaining why self care is not selfish AT ALL right now! It’s aligned with what God needs us to do to be our best! Self Care may come through a multitude of things for us this Winter Season like slowing our pace, better boundaries, stillness, deeper meditation and realigning with regimens, rituals and routines that refill our cups. A chunk of the video reviews time stamps where I received similar messages, yet I still give additional info about how this Mercury RX may challenge us to communicate & engage with more honesty, intention & mindfulness. Lastly, before giving a quick reading : I drop downloads putting the start of each “New Year” into perspective. The most important thing opening up 2024, is PEACE .
Here are some key messages from Spirit right now : 🕊️“Peace is trusting yourself, having/building faith and listening to your intuition.” 🕊️“Internal Guidance > External Guidance right now “ 🕊️“What’s Meant for You Will Match Your Peace, not disturb it” 🕊️“It Will Work Out in God’s Timing” 🕊️"Remember all that I've brought you through..."
Definitely use January to GO WITHIN! Coming out of this RX you should feel more confident in your voice, truth & personal wisdom. No one can advise you better than yourself right now. Starting off the year may come with a little bit of disillusion & unmet expectations from 2023. There may be a bit of grief and confusion around things that didn’t go or aren’t going quite as expected, as well as uncertainty with how to move forward. Know our guides don’t want us to cry over spilled milk and ESPECIALLY over milk that has yet to spill! Reflect & Release as needed, but try not to sulk in that energy. Instead, tap into your spirituality and communal resources to get you through your struggles. Understand there’s a bigger picture at play and transitioning into a new space/new year is a chance for you to think & dream bigger when feelings of lost hope & faithlessness seep in. Know if you are maintaining YOUR PEACE, you are always winning in God’s eyes! Prioritizing Peace is the key to getting the most out of January 2024 and anchoring yourself through this major state of transitioning from an old space into something new.
🪞Self Check with these questions / Meditate on where you are beginning 2024 :
Are you listening to your body?
Do you have rituals, community & connections that fuel your faith?
What is the main thing(s) you harbor disappointment about from 2023?
How can you release your expectation / idea of how things should’ve been in 2023 or could be in 2024?
What does prioritizing YOUR peace look, feel & sound like in January 2024?

I have never ever met any of the idols / actors / celebrities in my readings, I don’t know them personally. Tarot reading isn’t an exact science and I can never guarantee any of it. Most of it is my intuition mixed with fantasy. Don’t take these readings seriously and don’t base any important decisions on tarot readings only, use your common sense.
If you wish to request a tarot reading, please read the pinned post on my profile first to see the instructions on how to request. I only do readings for idols / actors / celebrities of 18 years of age or older. Requests for readings including younger people will be automatically dismissed.

Masterpost: E'LAST
Tumblr media
Won Hyuk
Won Hyuk (E’LAST)
Deck: Divine
Spread: Shadow of the Moon
Darkness (Their worst quality) - 4 of Coins
Won Hyuk can come as stingy or possessive. He might tend to hoard items or even emotions, not letting anybody else touch his things or know what he feels. Won Hyuk can have bottled up issues which create tension within him. He needs to find some way to vent from time to time. At the moment he’s convinced he can let anybody know, he has to play it cool and never drop the socially acceptable mask.
Shadow (Their secret) - 2 of Swords
Won Hyuk is internally imbalanced. He’s trying to find a way to navigate through his emotions and urges but it’s difficult because from time to time he gets lost in the mist of intensity. He’s reluctant to actually tell someone and ask for help as he doesn’t really trust anyone to be able to handle what’s going on inside of him.
Reflection (Their loyalty) - XIII The Death
Won Hyuk is loyal to himself but at the same time his loyalty is in a way self-destructive. He sees himself as someone who needs to be under constant check, Won Hyuk doesn’t trust himself to be able to function if he expresses freely. He’s terrified he will be judged by others and even cast out. He desperately wants to be reborn in a better, more acceptable way.
Smoke (Their deepest desire) - VII The Chariot
As said before, Won Hyuk truly desires to gain full control over himself and his life. He’s in constant combat with himself and whatever is going on in his mind. Won Hyuk is at war with Won Hyuk. State like that is not possible to be maintained for long. Eventually he will destroy himself from inside. Or he will blow up.
Mirror (Effects on their lover) - II The High Priestess
Won Hyuk can give a rather confusing and mysterious image to his lover. It’s like if he kept everything behind a veil and only told fabricated stories about himself. He himself wants to believe them but it’s clear he’s hiding something and his lover can find it off putting.

How To Check NMCN Result Online (and What to Do Next!)
Tumblr media
How To Check NMCN Result Online? While I'm not a nurse or midwife myself, I know firsthand how stressful waiting for NMCN exam results can be. My sister went through the whole process, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. But the good news is, checking your NMCN results is a lot easier than it used to be. I'm here to share her experience, offer some brotherly advice, and help you navigate the next steps, no matter what your results may be.
How To Check NMCN Result Online: A Simple Guide
The NMCN has actually made this part pretty simple. Here's how my sister did it: - Go to the NMCN Portal: The official place to check is right here: https://portal.nmcn.gov.ng/Examinations/trackStatus - Enter the Info: You'll need your index number and date of birth. Double-check those digits! - Click 'Track Examination': It's the big button, you can't miss it. - See the Results: If they're ready, they'll pop right up. Congrats in advance!
What to Do if You Passed?
My sister was over the moon when she passed. Here's what she did to celebrate (and what I recommend): - Take a Breather: You earned it! Go out for a nice meal, catch a movie, or just relax. - Start the Paperwork: The NMCN site has all the info on licensing and registration. Get a head start, trust me. - Thank Your Support System: Teachers, family, friends... whoever helped you study deserves a shoutout.
What to Do if You Didn't Pass?
If things didn't go as planned, don't worry. My sister didn't pass the first time either, and she's a fantastic nurse now. Here's what she did (and what you can do): - Don't Panic: It's just a setback, not the end of the road. - Figure Out What Went Wrong: Review the exam, talk to your teachers, see where you can improve. - Make a Plan and Retake: You've got this! My sister studied even harder the second time around and aced it. Pro Tip (from My Sister): Print or screenshot your results, just in case you need them later.
When do results usually come out?
The NMCN typically releases exam results within a few weeks after the exam date. However, the exact date can vary depending on the specific exam and other factors. To get the most accurate information about when your results will be available, I recommend: - Checking the NMCN website: They often post announcements regarding result release dates. - Contacting your school of nursing: Your school will likely have information about when to expect results. - Referring to recent news and updates: Websites like Medical World Nigeria and AllSchool often publish articles about the release of NMCN exam results.
What is the pass mark for the Nursing Council of Nigeria?
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) explicitly states that the pass mark for all core nursing courses within their professional program is 50%. This information is consistent across multiple sources, including the NMCN's own documentation and university websites outlining their nursing programs.
How long does it take to get verified by NMCN?
The time it takes to get verified by the NMCN can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your application and the volume of requests they are processing. However, based on information from various sources: - Online Verification to the NMC-UK: The NMCN aims to process these applications within 10 working days, but it can sometimes take longer due to unforeseen circumstances. - General Verification: For other verification requests, the NMCN does not provide a specific timeframe, but they strive to process applications as quickly as possible. Some applicants have reported receiving verification within a few weeks, while others have experienced longer waiting times. To ensure a smooth verification process, it's important to: - Submit a complete application: Make sure you have all the required documents and that they are filled out correctly. - Pay the required fees: The verification process involves fees that vary depending on the type of verification and the destination country. - Follow up with the NMCN: If you haven't received a response after a reasonable amount of time, you can contact the NMCN for an update on your application status. You can find more information about the verification process on the NMCN website: - Verification of Certificates of Registration: https://www.nmcn.gov.ng/verify.html - Verification Requests Portal: https://portal.nmcn.gov.ng/verification_requests/start
How long does it take to become a registered Nurse in Nigeria?
The time it takes to become a registered nurse in Nigeria depends on the educational path you choose: School of Nursing: - Duration: 3 years - Qualification: Registered Nurse (RN) certificate University Degree Program: - Duration: 5 years - Qualification: Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) degree Additional Requirements: After completing either program, you must pass the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) professional examination to become a registered nurse. Foreign-Trained Nurses: For nurses trained abroad, the NMCN requires a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 18 months of additional training in an approved Nigerian School of Nursing before they can take the professional exam and become licensed to practice in Nigeria. Key Factors Affecting Timeline: - Academic Performance: Successfully completing your coursework and exams within the stipulated timeframe. - NMCN Exam: Passing the professional examination on the first attempt can expedite your registration. - Registration Process: The time it takes for the NMCN to process your registration application can also vary. I hope this clarifies the timeline for becoming a registered nurse in Nigeria!
A Sibling's Perspective
Watching my sister go through this was an eye-opener. I saw how much dedication and hard work it takes to become a nurse or midwife. I also saw how important it is to have a support system to lean on during the tough times.

Endless Ocean Luminous is here! I can't find any websites where I can post my review without being an actual paid article writer, so I guess I'm posting it here.
First, let me start with some background.
I got the first Endless Ocean game for my 10th birthday back in 2008, and the second one for my 12th birthday in 2010. They were my first real video games, and I loved them dearly. I have been literally dreaming of a third game since finishing the second one, so when I saw the trailer for Endless Ocean Luminous, I preordered the game right away. My dreams were coming true! Surely they can't mess up an Endless Ocean game, right?!
Judging by my tone, you can probably tell that this will not be a kind review.
When you open the game, you get a splash screen while it loads before it goes to the main menu. The main menu has several options, but most importantly it differentiates between story mode, solo dives, and multi-player dives. I went straight to the story mode because that was the best part of the old games and what I was looking forward to.
Which brings me to the first problem: the story mode. It's…VERY basic. Each chapter is atrociously short. Most of the objectives are placed directly in front of you, and once you reach them, you get some dialogue and then the chapter is over. The story itself is shallow. There's a world-ending threat to the ocean that you can solve by scanning fish. It would feel more important if there was more time to build the world and get to know the only two NPCs (one of which is your ai dive guide, while the other is more akin to a dive buddy who's just a recolor of your own model), but there's just not that much focus put on the story mode. In fact, you are required to play the solo or multi-player dives just to progress in the story mode, as each chapter has an unlock requirement of scanning an obscene number of fish. It really feels like the devs were trying to artificially inflate the play time when they did this. Anyway, fish in such numbers can only be found in the non-story dives.
So let's talk about the solo dives, as I have not gotten to play the multi-player dives just yet. If you don't have friends with a copy of the game, solo dives are where the bulk of the game takes place. There's a lot to talk about here, from the missing features from previous games to the new features of this one.
There are three new features: scanning fish, the "ever-changing" map, and the UMLs, or Unique Marine Life.
Scanning the fish was obviously meant as a quality-of-life improvement, but instead just adds to the impersonal feel of the game. In the old games, the player could only focus on one fish at a time. It felt personal and even a bit special. The first game went so far as to make you earn a fish's trust before you discovered its info. In Endless Ocean Luminous, however, you can scan many, many fish at the same time. Scrolling over their name in the list of fish you scanned last will give you its information. You can read through it, but why would you? There's at least 500 fish in the game, and why would you waste your time reading optional information when there's other fish to be scanned? In my opinion, the scanner function is a product of the lack of care from the devs and the increased importance put on the numbers aspect. It's all about the grind.
Meanwhile, the "ever-changing" map is basically just battleship, but it's topographical features instead of ships. The whole dive map is gigantic—big enough to take multiple hours to map the whole thing—with several features plopped into it. These are the battleships, which I will be calling biomes for simplicity. Each biome has a specific selection of fish only one map that might be flipped or rotated and placed multiple times on the same dive map. (To be clear, the biomes are not placed by the player. That is not a feature of this game, and it was never advertised to be.) Unfortunately, most of the biomes are quite small, and there are only enough on the dive map to cover maybe 60% of the map? Which leaves 40% of the map as basically-empty seafloor. Having the "ever changing" map work like this just feel LAZY. And this will not be the last time that word is brought up.
The UMLs are probably the most solid part of Endless Ocean Luminous. They're the legendary creatures of this installment. (Not to be confused with the legendary creatures from the old games, which are now scattered liberally throughout the solo dive maps) There is only one per dive map, though you can make it appear multiple times with enough grinding. To make a UML appear, you have to find fish with "unusual biological signatures." These fish will pixelate when you scan them, along with playing a sudden, jarring sound. The effect never fails to make me jump, and is extremely immersion-breaking. Once you find one of these fish, the rest you need for the UML to appear will be marked on your map. The problem HERE lies in the fact that the part of the map getting marked has to be FILLED IN for the mark to be visible. Again, it takes HOURS to fill in the map, so a lot of the search for these fish is just blindly scanning everything in front of you. The UMLs themselves are pretty neat, at least.
Now for the removed features. The removal of one of these features is a boon, but the rest are removed at a detriment to the game.
The one thing I'm glad they removed is dangerous animals attacking you. It makes sense that they removed it, though, as the way that was implemented in Blue World (Endless Ocean 2) was that getting hurt depleted some of your air. There is no air gauge in Luminous.
As for the removals that negatively impact the game…you can't ride the whales. You can't pet, poke, grab, feed, or whistle at the fish. You CAN have fish follow you, but you actually have to level up that feature now. You can't surface, let alone walk on land. There's no underwater pen. There's no zoom mode (which means no sea slugs!! Biggest L for this game I swear). There's no diving with non-player dive buddies. There's no aquarium. There's no dive-level progression, as you don't have to unlock diving abilities like deep-water diving or night diving. In fact, time of day is meaningless. It might be present, but without being able to surface it's hard to tell since you have a dive light.
The music very rarely plays, and there's no lyrical music that I've encountered at all. It's all new too, which upset me until I heard one track from Blue World and realized that hearing music from the beloved older games in this one? Just made me ANGRY. When you find yourself thinking that a game doesn't deserve to use music from its predecessors, and that the nods to the previous games are actually insults to said previous games (I'm looking at you, old legendary creatures)…well. That's when you know that the devs fucked up.
Overall, the game feels like a lazily designed waste of time, and frankly it's insulting to try to pretend otherwise. This is not an Endless Ocean game. This is the husk of a dead IP. The soul moved on a long time ago.
