Hey! I just wanted to say that it’s really nice that you’re using healer instead of medicine cat. I’m also a little bit obsessed with this blog and story because I was in a group with a Clan named OakClan which splintered off from CedarClan after they stole kits to try and recover from a TNR program— so this is really fun to see play out!!

Now, a question for Whorlstar— do you ever feel like you’re in over your head? What do you do if you start to feel overwhelmed?

Thank you so much!! It is a really interesting concept to play around with - Small world that two wood named-clans got hit with the same thing u_u Unlucky

I couldn't fit your question in with my whorlstar answer comic but she does feel overwhelmed sometimes, esp lately. She only ever allows herself to confide in/look weak in front of Moorsnow though, and that's really only happened after they finally got together. To the other members of the clan she maintains a cold, solid front at all times

So basically if she's overwhelmed she cuddles her wife ;n;

If male Jordan looks female does female Jordan look like a male? … (let me fuck em both)

unfortunately anon you'll have to get in line - there's already someone by jordan's side and he ain't the sharing type

but on f!jordan design!! I actually didn't think much when making m!jordan cause i was just thinking of what my oc's type would be (pretty men) HBREHBFJHBERF but if i were to view f!jordan, it would just be m!jordan design but female? so they'd look something like this:

BUT YOU DID give me the Thought of .... short haired f!jordan so you also get a bonus brainrot doodle from yours truly <3

but same anon - same, i want to fuck em both

i feel like slightly younger than marius mael is the best just for flavor reasons lol. reeaally curious to know what you think

I think I usually land on slightly younger but not like a baby. Like early 30s maybe. BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOME THOUGHTS OF WHY I LIKE EACH OR WHY EACH COULD WORK:

Under 30: First of all because of Jesse's chapter in QOTD--Maharet was turned around age 20 I think? And for Jesse, I'm sure there's that sort of uncanny thing where your mind fills in blanks and makes excuses, like, her "aunt" has been around her whole life so like gee golly I guess she just looks young for her age! Except that there's like the vampire uncanniness too, so whatever you judge as an age doesn't super matter. So like, Mael blending in as one of her guy friends in his early 20s would make sense. Jesse DOES also clock him as not being human, so again I think the uncanniness might not make her peg either of them as a certain age.

I do worry if this clashes with the idea that he could properly be a priest? Caesar said that it takes 20 years to train a priest, but A) A lot of what Caesar said is like anti-Keltoi propaganda and might not be accurate since the Druids famously never left anything in writing, so there's very little first hand information about them. B) MAYBE IT'S OKAY BECUASE IN VC-VERSE TESKHAMEN IS REAL AND MAEL WAS REALLY COMMUNING WITH HIM SO IF THERE WAS LIKE MAGIC AFOOT IN THE COMMUNITY MAYBE HE GOT FAST TRACKED OR RESPECTED AS BEING SPECIAL IDK. I can work with it and make excuses lol.

I LOVE the idea of him being like a young man because of how much madder that would make Marius, plus the way he likes to mentor young blonde men lol. But it might like hurt him even worse if the author of all his misfortunate is like SOME KID.

In his 30s: Personally I usually land here because I DO wonder how long it takes him to gain status in his community and become a priest (in his 30s is still fast tracking it but maybe feels more plausible LOL) and I enjoy the idea of he and Marius being sort of similar to each other. Like, Marius often gets used as the example of Turning an Older Guy and what it means for his temperament and the way it translates to his immortality. I like imagining Mael as around Marius's age for that reason, like I want to remove all his excuses why Mael is a young stupid kid or even an old salty jerk--it forces Marius to confront that Mael is ALSO someone who is chill and smart and has had enough life experience. BUT WHILE THERE'S A WINDOW WHERE THEY COULD BE SIMILAR IN AGE, OR MAEL COULD BE A TAD OLDER, I ALSO STILL ENJOY MARIUS BEING LIKE "HE'S YOUNGER THAN ME I HATE THIS!" BECAUSE HIS AGE AND SELF-PERCEIVED WISDOM & EXPERIENCE ARE IMPORTANT TO HIS IDENTITY AND HE FEELS BELITTED LOL.

In his 40s: Makes sense for the above reason! But I like to skew younger personally just for the Marius ageism dynamic lol. Also there's something about him being a foil to Marius where like, if they're very similar in other ways it can kind of emphasize how their atheism/religion contrasts each other and affects them as people.

Over 50: ALSO POSSIBLE and it's hilarious bc in the audiobook the narrator reads him like such a grouchy old man lmao. I could see this causing a lot of resentment because Marius likes to be the oldest and wisest in the room. I could see him also being younger because Marius insults him every chance he gets and I just think he would've told us that Mael is like an old hag if it were true lol. Anyway wondering how this effects Marius's barbarian kink and how he submits to men.

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

hiya, I’m bored so I’m goin around and asking my mutuals this question cause I’m curious :]

if someone gave you unlimited budget and time to put towards making a movie/show and you could make it about anything you wanted what would you make it about?

ohhh man this is hard. i have a few things.

in terms of shows:

1.) make a toh season 4-6 OR the original pilot universe of the owl house the way dana had in mind. preferably probably a pilot toh universe spin off.

or too- make a toh spin off based on my vampire au fanfic. with dana. though idk how well she'd be into it but id want her to be on the process too. anything toh i want her to be working on it because its not toh if its not her. but if we did a production based on my fanfic? that would be so cool..?? iconic actually.

2.) the locked tomb would be so cool as a animated show potentially? like an anime. NOT live action. none of that. it just could be so cool. it would fit animation. would fit more as a show too though because the lore just wouldnt fit in with a movie. theres too much and i dont think any parts of it should get cut out. in terms of the cast?? uhh.. gee idk

movies?? i have a couple.

"she gets the girl" by rachael lippincott and alyson derrick could be SUCH a cute romcom. i absolutely adored it and like i cannot talk about my enjoyment of the book enough. i would watch that movie SO much.

"one last stop" by casey mcquiston!!! I JUST GOT DONE WITH THIS BOOK TODAY BUT I WANT SO MUCH FOR THIS TO BE A MOVIE LOW KEY BECAUSE OH MY GOD IT WOULD LITERALLY SLAY SO HARD AND I WOULD BE SO ENCHANTED BY IT ALL.

[dnpg-hiatus-survivor]

imma be real i’ve never done this before so i don’t know if im doing this right but oh well

would you read a dnp “time travel” fanfic where 2009 dan has a full crisis of “what if me and phil stop talking” or “what if phil actually hates me”, but then he somehow gets access to the videos from then to 2024 and then he has a full-blown freak out of “omg i haven’t died yet and i’m still friends with phil and there is actually hope for the world”

i really hope this makes sense

yeah!! are you planning on writing such a fic? because it sounds very cool, i really like the concept and i would deffo give it a read if you are!

[insomnya777]

hi! how do you. describe characters so you don’t just use pronouns like 37 times in a row

(Especially when characters all use the same pronouns 😭)

omg ok wait this is one of the hardest things ever. i hate using like descriptive words like "the blonde man" "the taller one" etc because it just like icks me out for some reason so usually i just use character names often and then switch to pronouns. it can still get vague or confusing sometimes so then i try to just reorder the sentence/phrase it differently

JP lore thoughts n rants yknow the drill

because i have too many thoughts and i must speak

mostly about JP's plans and role as the antagonist in WT

the usual warnings for World Tour spoilers of course, also it really is aimless rambling there is no thesis here:

Currently, the most recent DLC release was Ed, and we're looking at Akuma's very soon.

Quickly on Akuma, I don't expect much main WT story advancement with his Master dialogue or bond levels and what not. So far, Rashid, AKI, and Ed have all had major connections with Shadaloo, and therefore, have important roles in the main story.

I just don't think Akuma is going to have too much in terms of... Ken being framed, or Neo Shadaloo. Though who knows. We're also getting a major patch update with him too, so I'm half wondering if it'll also include WT quests and story... Copium: huffed.

Anyway, I'm thinking about JP (period. like, all the time) and his involvement with where the story will lead into the future.

He's the main antagonist of SF6 after all, and while he's had a hand in some important events in the story, we only NOW got some clarification about his goals: to convince Ed to become the new leader of Neo Shadaloo, to help revive the organization.

And even then, we aren't too sure about WHY he wants to do this. Other characters related to the main story have very clear motives and plans.

FANG (and therefore AKI) want to revive Bison. They're at odds with JP however, though we aren't entirely sure why.

Ed wants nothing to do with Shadaloo's remnants, nor Bison. He just wants to save survivors, and specifically now, find Falke.

Ken and Bosch: these two in particular have major beef with JP, so they likely want revenge. But we'll have to see how the story decides to resolve their narratives.

Kimberly is in a similar boat, but I think the way they set her story up in WT is far too similar to Ken and Bosch's storylines. I really HOPE they give her more of a role, but I somehow doubt they'll make it interesting... in a way that isnt just "Bosch's narrative but done worse".

And the handful of characters who are investigating JP and Shadaloo's remnants: Cammy, Guile, Chun-Li and Li Fen, Rashid... could all be major parts of the future story line, in particular, to stop JP and Shadaloo from reviving.

----

All that said, it's INFURIATINGLY UNCLEAR what JP wants and why he's doing it.

For a fact, he was the chief financial advisor for Shadaloo before the organization's fall. Per *his* words-- never a good thing to believe at face value-- he wanted Psycho Power to see the world as Bison did. And he also acknowledges himself that someone in his position as 'accountant', really has no need for such a violent, combat oriented power as Psycho Power.

Why did Bison agree? How did JP survive the mind crushing influence of Psycho Power? Did Bison even agree to this, or did JP in fact, obtain it another way? How long has he had Psycho Power (because I do not trust his claims that he's not very good with using it, i beg to differ mr. "can teleport, can summon ghost mimicks, can control them precisely, can adjust his Psycho Power output to either give someone it OR completely fry them from the inside out")

----

With Ed's update, we get a TINY bit more into JP's plans. Ed has the potential to use his Psycho Power just as Bison did: to brainwash victims and control them. Ed of course, never wants to do this, but he acknowledges that he *could* use his powers this way if he decided to. JP and the other Shadaloo remnants are said to want Ed as the new leader, presumably to control the world using this brainwashing power for their benefit.

So it doesn't seem like JP wants to revive Bison, but rather a new leader with the same abilities to rule the world... who also is under his control??

I really don't see what JP would get out of the situation other than 'world domination', which I guess he admits to in a way, with how he "wanted to see things through the same lens Bison did". But while Bison was driven by a hunger for absolute power, I'm not sure if that's what JP wants?

He's someone so secretive about his personal identity, going so far to change his name, even get plastic surgery to change his appearance (this was mentioned in the World Tour Guide book by the devs). So, being the leader of a giant criminal organization is probably not great optics. Likely why he wants Ed to take that spotlight instead (along with, the fact that Ed could brainwash people).

That said, JP's *known* publicly as the CEO of successful NGO's. And he surely isn't shy about putting himself in the limelight (as with Nayshall) if it's to help see through his plan. BUT WHAT PLAN,,,, would have him DO all this,,,,,,

----

My only guess is that his own Psycho Power just isn't strong enough or capable of brainwashing and controlling other people's wills.. so he needs Ed to do so. And I don't think it's for any 'philanthropic 'consequentialist morally good' reasons, like, brainwashing everyone to agree so there's no conflict. That type of shit.

But consider: here is this man who is exceptionally talented at manipulating people, able to lie, convince, and threaten people into doing what he wants-- WITHOUT brainwashing powers. And to me, it seems that he genuinely enjoys manipulating people. I think I talked about it in another rant post, but he's got that, "lmao life is meaningless! :D" flavor of nihilism going on. He's deeply perceptive about human nature and entertained by how people behave. But he's remorseless about what he does to others, partially due to the "everything is meaningless" attitude.

It reads like he has fun toying with people... but he's also very efficient with it. He isn't doing it purely for entertainment, nor does he put himself at risk *just* to get a kick out of scamming someone. Like, he frames Ken and hires Luke as a bodyguard, but then quickly cuts ties with them once they aren't useful to him anymore.

He doesn't toy with people out of spite or MERELY cruel entertainment, which is all the more baffling because we don't know what drives him to do this at all. Why does he need to launder so much money? He's used it to restore old Shadaloo bases, sure, but what does he get out of that? Once he does establish a new Shadaloo from the remnants, what is his goal?? If he doesn't-- or cannot-- lead this new Shadaloo as the leader... what does he get out of reinstalling such a criminal organization again???

----

I feel like I didn't get anywhere with this rant, just venting some questions and frustrations, if I want to call it that.

I have never seen such a compelling and charismatic villain with such unclear motives as JP. I need to put him under a microscope. I need to pry apart his brain for answers.

why is he like this seriously,, all i can hope for is that WT gets more chapters and we get some conclusion (or justice) for what JP's done... and more scenes with cybele, please

Hiii!! Im doing a little bit of inbox spring cleaning, so there's a possibility I might try to answer some messages sent in quite a bit ago! I hope you wont be too surprised if you find one of your own old messages suddenly answered <3 But I may also have to delete some redundant ones or ones I just simply wont answer. Anyway! I'll just tell you when the clean is done if I do end up answering a few old questions.

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that

if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it

[st4rstudent]

why do you draw brain so much I know people draw cogs but people draw you (your toon) and brain together did you make him did you help with the design or do people just ship the two of you

I'm going to answer the second half first! So for clarity, Mac isn't my toon, nor was I involved in making it. I also wasn't involved in making Brian. For future reference, I think I should state that I've never been on the clash team (and I've never worked on anything that's in game or anywhere else that's official. All I've done is my own stuff aka what you see on my page). Both characters are official characters and I've had no influence on them.

As for why I draw him so much, I guess the easiest answer is just I like him! He fits into the two big traits of characters I like and also his design is easy for me to break down into shapes.
