Mmm Saucy

What have you been working on? I’ve been tinkering with this thing called “bumboles,” a jolly good new bowling game, a bit like English lawn bowls, but with a dash of dogging thrown in for fun. What do you reckon, is it quirky enough for your fancy?

[keeperthemultiversemom]

What could be consider laws of the multiverse?

Or is there no such thing?

Aight aight

Let's go, explanation for time

For this one I will speak as creator

This is infos I've shared before on my site, and I got the greenlight to share it here !

Reminder that @neonross was the og creator of Out of Bounds and I am merely one of the artist and writers ( and alternatively the lore gremlin that make sure everything is smooth good lore lol ( so for lore clarification yeh I'm the good person to ask haha))

So here are the "laws" of the multiverse and how it works in wttmv specifically !

Those rules apply only in our story, but anyone who wants to use those concepts are welcome, of course ! Neon Ross's og intent was to have rules flexible enough for people to make characters and have fun with the concepts, but we don't mean to be an autority of any kind and ruin people's fun... Anyway, explanation time

It's not really "laws" so much as rules for ourselves and for our story, to give it nuances and stakes and the right amount of lore scratching complexity

Some characters however might tell you that these are laws lmao

✨Out of Bounds ✨

___-Lore Guide-___

Out of Bounds (OOB) is a realm existing beyond the multiverse, operating by its own rules and devoid of time. This guide provides insight into OOB's nature, its role in the multiverse, and the mechanics governing its interactions.

Nature of Out of Bounds

Definition :

• OOB is a space outside of alternate universes, akin to the Void Realm in Towags where forgotten characters and places reside.

• Awareness of this space is limited, known only to those who reside within or encounter its inhabitants.

Television :

• Floating televisions within OOB display AUs, acting as viewports or portals for interaction.

• Televisions serve as a primary means for Multiversers to observe and interact with AUs. ( While it is the primary way, note that there are exceptions and other ways to travel )

Shows :

• We call "show" the stories within the multiverse. Includes the Original, Variants, Alternate Universes.

• The Original cannot be touched or interacted with by anyone.

• Variants are copies of the original with very minor changes (art style, design, head canons). They can be interacted with on varrying degree, depending on the creator of the variant will.

• AUs are copies of Welcome Home with major or noticeable changes, from the story, to the characters and their designs.

Vintage Tapes :

• AUs are stored within vintage tapes, with the film inside representing the universe's timeline.

• Tapes categorize AUs into Fixed and Flexible, depending on the level of interaction allowed by the creators of each AUs.

Interference Mechanics :

• Interfering with Fixed AUs poses risks, as altering their storylines can lead to universe corrupt and/or collapse.

• Flexible AUs allow more interaction, often featuring crossovers and Y/N scenarios.

Out of Bound Spaces

Channels :

• Spaces integral to the multiverse system, including the Observer's TV room, the Archives, and Admin's film room.

Shows :

• The AUs themselves, contained in the multiverse, then OOB

Lost Media :

• Spaces not categorized as channels or tapes, such as the Keeper's domaine, Trader's space, and Stitcher's atelier. (Often time those are kind of like shells of dead/collapsed/modified AU, or pocket dimensions)

Pillars of Creation :

• Vast space outside of the multiverse, a galaxy-like zone full of stars, that is said to be where the creators of AUs reside. Very few characters go so far in the OOB.

In between :

• The void between the AUs. It is devoid of breathable air, often dark and lightless as well. Some multiversers are unaffected by the lack of air, but stay careful ! We don't know what lurks or leaks in the in-between

Diagram made by Bloomenvogel and Neon Ross for the Out of Bound as we see it in WTTMV

Note : this diagram applies to wttmv, but feel free to use I with your characters if you want ! Just like all of those rules, we made those to help make the story as a whole

Out of Bound Inhabitants

Natives of OOB :

• The Out of Bound is often said to have a mind of its own... It will sometimes create its own variants of the core cast, for reasons still obscures to this day. Notable characters born from the OOB : Observer, Courier, Messenger

"Refugies"

• Cast or OC characters that had their worlds destroyed/corrupted/collapsed, and who are left to wander in the multiverse. Most often they will end up in Peacekeeper's domaine until they can be rehomed in a flexible tape or new universe, or adapt to the Out of Bounds.

• A character that adapts to the Out of Bounds will then be called "Multiverser" along with the native of OOB

• Characters considered "refugies turned multiverser" in wttmv : Peacekeeper, Filante, Trader, ShopKeeper, Watcheye, Stitcher, Croupier

Multiversers :

• Multiversers are the inhabitants of the Out of Bounds. Often times, they are anomalies that have developped specific abilities allowing them to reside or survive in the Out of Bounds. Those abilities often includes being able to travel to multiple flexible tapes, but not always. A multiverser will almost always be a variant of a cast character, and rarely, if not ever, a y/n or fan oc. (If you wonder why y/n and ocs are excluded from being multiversers specifically, it's because Y/N is at its core a you self insert, but *you* are supposed to be viewers in the story. It's fine when in a pocket universe like Keeper's and Trader, a y/n can exist there, but in the oob it could causes some problems of logic with viewer influence and control, or the focus of the story could go astray to fit a y/n, which is not a story we want to tell. It kinda goes for ocs too)

__________________

I tried to say as much as I could without much spoilers... For the reminder, I already explained the main, general chronology of wttmv on the site

Ik, ik, it's a bit of a hassle to go search and look and all. Tbh the site is kind of a way to give a bit of a treat for the really big fans who are ready to go on a separate site to get lore lmao /lh

But now I get to ramble here too ! Hurray !

TLDR :

OOB is big and weird. The AUs and Variants can be interacted with only if allowed by the creators. Multiversers are the weird cast variants living in the oob. The OOB is kinda like an onion, it has layers. Most characters always stay in the multiverse part.

Animatic update! Steadily making my way through this convo :)

[taradactyls]

That whole 'tHeRe'S tOoOoOo MaNy Bridgerton CHILDREN! EIGHT OF THEM!!' random bit that Cressida's mum does is just so strange... that is not a lot of siblings/children for that era. For them all to survive to adulthood, yeah, lower odds, but HAVING that many??? Not at all weird.

So like the very normal person I am I did some research into viscounts in 1815 and their family sizes and now you get a history lesson. I excluded all the viscounts that were subsidiary titles to Earls, Marquesses, and Dukes. So that means no honourary titles, and left only people of an equal rank to the Bridgerton family. According to wikipedia there were only 20 Viscounts like that existing in 1815 (some titles went extinct later in the year, or gained a higher title, but oh well I included them) and I did my best to find the number of legitimate siblings and children they had.

8 out of 20 were either part of, or had, a family of 8 or more children. That's 40% and the majority of those included 10 or over kids.

12 out of 20 were from/had families of 6 or more kids. 60%.

And I couldn't even find information on them all! At least five more could potentially get to that threshold.

One had 13 kids and 8 siblings

(and an earl who was also a viscount had SEVENTEEN kids but he's not included in the maths)

So the number of Bridgerton kids is a non-issue, people tended to have either large families or very small families. 8 over 17 years isn't even that quick for the time?? A lot of women would be pregnant more often than Violet Bridgerton. No one would be shocked or surprised by that, let alone think it something salacious...

AND IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SCANDALS INVOLVING THE BIRTHS OF A VISCOUNTS CHILDREN

May I introduce you to Henry Devereux, 14th Viscount Hereford?? BECAUSE ASIDE FROM ABANDONING HIS FIRST WIFE TO LIVE ON THE CONTINENT WITH HIS MISTRESS, MARRYING BIGAMOUSLY TO A DIFFERENT MISTRESS, AND HAVING LOTS OF BASTARDS... THE MOTHER OF FOUR OF HIS BASTARDS AND THE MISTRESS HE RAN TO THE CONTINENT WAS HIS HALF-SISTER AND YES THEY BOTH KNEW!!

So, uh, in conclusion not one person would ever find the amount of kids Violet and Edmund Bridgerton had to be surprising or scandalous

[okcoolthanks]

Ok I love jrwi. But please they need more female characters that aren’t like. Related. Or in a romantic relationship with the pcs or other npcs.

Please

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

alright. know what? with Secrets of the Obscure right around the corner and plenty of new Mists-related sky island settings coming with it, I'll just bite the bullet and interest-check a little something I've been turning in my head for a long, long while.

would YOU be interested in a Mists-based GW2 roleplay guild that uses a lore compliant multiverse system to allow canon, canon-adjacent, lore-breaking, and otherwise 'contradictory' muses to coexist in the same setting?

simply put: every writer's cast would be set in their own self-contained universe. as such, everyone could bring whatever muses they want with their own personal headcanons, and no one could dictate what is or isn't canon for anyone else. so long as your muses are GW2-based, you're good to go! bring your Commanders, bring your canon-divergent OCs, bring your canon muses-- and yes, even the ones that are 'supposed' to be dead. who can say what might have happened in a strange world far across the Mists, after all?

neutral hubs and in-character safety guardrails would be in place to keep all muses on a relatively even playing field regardless of their power, history, and prestige, too. play hardball if you like, but it might not end quite the way you'd hope. the main rule would be to maintain good OOC etiquette at all times: no godmodding, no metagaming, no theft, don't blend IC and OOC, and so-on.

if that sounds like something you might have interest in, please interact with this post! and if you've got questions or concerns, I'd love to hear them; feel free to send an ask or a DM, or just reply to this post!

Happy September🍃 It’s my birth month!! Felt cute, too.

(nonbinary, they/them)

[rawrsatthetree]

Idk who needs to hear this, I know I do, but if you have a coochie and are Non-binary. You are not a woman. You are not just an confused girl or woman adjacent. You don’t owe any one gender ambiguity or neutrality. Your tits and hips do not make you less non-binary. You are non-binary not a woman. And if women try to push you into their spaces or treat you like just one of the girls tell those bitches to get back to the kitchen because you are not one of their “girlies”

[muirneach]

okay wta!

Personal, initial ranking of the Ateez Golden Hour Pt.1 tracklist (not including "Golden Hour", which is more of a random monologue fit for a music video than an interlude I probably won't get the significance of unless I was into the confusing Ateez music video lore):

Blind I'm trying to figure out if the instrumental break has a harmonica or accordion playing*, but it's the best part of the song *(85% leaning towards the accordion because the notes and the flow don't sound very 'sharp' and 'harsh' + Golden Hour Pt.1 takes heavy inspiration from Latin music, and what little Google searches I could do tell me the accordion is apparently prominent there (please forgive me if I'm wrong about this))

Shaboom The moment I saw this on the tracklist, my nonsensical English in a 2nd gen Kpop song, fantastic elastic loveaholic robotronic rizzness loving bones knew I would love this song. I stood corrected <3 I mean, the song that got me into Ateez was "Bouncy" and I still don't understand what "slow it down make it bouncy jigeum buteo fly" is supposed to mean lol

Work / Siren "Work" took some time to grow on me and I can't get over how they put clarinet music over a flute in the music video...my poor former flautist eyes xD But the pre-chorus lines are so smooth and catchy

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

trying to find diplomatic but firm ways to articulate 'hey man this is really fucked up, please reconsider' about wan/derhome--or whether to make a post about it at all--because its creators seem like the types to approach it in good faith, but i have no idea how it would go over or if they'd even see it at all. but i finally decided to take a look at it after getting it in a charity bundle last year, and as a disabled mentally ill trauma survivor god that was incredibly hurtful and upsetting, holy shit. days later i'm still not super okay over it, let alone that it won awards and is considered a masterpiece in the medium
