currently thinking about the time i said “i think lloyd allen likes birds” so many times that paul shapera gave him one canonically.

i think i need to relisten to astonishing tales of the highly improbable because i keep remembering things that happened in it but i can’t remember why they happened or if they didn’t and i just made them up. like the time lloyd almost fell out of the narrative and david turned it into a love confession or the time they all wanted to go somewhere that was made of stone (i don’t remember where) but didn’t know how to narrative hop so they just held hands and chanted “STONE STONE STONE.”

Excerpt from Tradewinds, coming January 31st:

A sudden, heavy flapping sound; distressed wing-beats. Matan looked up, alarmed, to see Udir in true-form, winging low towards the caravans at speed. Matan saw dark flecks of liquid shaken off Udir’s body with every stroke of his wings. He was bleeding. He’d been wounded. Pale yellow eyes barely took him in, a beak open and sharp tongue panting. Instead of executing a neat landing, Udir slammed straight into the second caravan, leaving a smear of blood on the tarp. He fell in a flutter of wings as Matan rushed towards him. ‘Udir! Are you all right?’ The great, injured bird said nothing. A patch of ivory-cream feathers on Udir’s chest were stained dark with blood. Udir wasn’t shifting back into hybrid or human-form because he was in too much pain. Everyone knew that when a shifter wouldn’t change back, they were trying to use their true-form to handle the worst of an injury. ‘Hey,’ Matan said, making his voice soothing. ‘Hey it’s okay. It’s going to be all right.’ He had no idea what he was talking about. He stiffened and looked around for any signs of birds or fae approaching, anyone who wanted to do them harm. There was no one around. He carefully tried to reach for Udir, wanting to pull him out of the churned up dirt at least, but Udir’s hooked beak went for him, snapping weakly. Then he stumbled, a wing stretching out to stop him from falling sideways. Matan clambered up the second caravan, ready to wake Biani and Mara, when Red and Kaulo arrived – huge shadows in the sky that made Matan cringe and feel a terrible, primitive fear. They landed, changing into human-form immediately. ‘Pack up! We’re leaving now!’ Kaulo shouted, and he disappeared into the second caravan. ‘Come here, Udir,’ Red said, approaching Udir, a stern look on his face. Udir wasn’t listening to any of them, eyes wild. Red didn’t flinch when he took a nasty beak slash to the arm. His movements were steady as he firmly grasped Udir in his hands. ‘That’s it,’ Red said softly, arm bleeding as Udir struggled in his grip. ‘We’re getting out of here, Udir. Calm down.’

Hurt/comfort in a Fae Tales story? It's more likely than you'd think!

Curse you, Paul, for making me learn environments!! The Room is one of my favorite characters though. I hope I'll finish all the different "eras"! This is when he was a "Room of ill repute", after the Second Playhouse and before NARH. (And during the Gang of Three as well)

Some details under the cut! (CW some vague allusions to the type of work setting he was, wink wink)

Extra explanation in the alt-text! I don't usually do environment design, this was very fun! In general, I tried to make it reflect his welcoming and nice personality, and to make everything kinda scrambled together from wherever he gets his base resources from.

Raven: I miss my boyfriend...maybe I should kill myself about it

Lloyd: I miss my boyfriend...I should definitely kill everyone else about it

[totally-canon-new-albion]

Lloyd: Now, let's read this fanmail... "do you like men." Man is a hopeless creature. I don't like much of anyone.

Oh, if you meant sexually, then yes.

[chtozaepta]

I love them all

the good thing about having to work tomorrow again is that I will finally be able to finish the Tales C:

AHH i'm going through and listening to the astonishing tales of the highly improbable podcast for New Content, and it is SO fun, HIGHLY recommend it!!

i've been really interested in lloyds character as of late, and there are so many fun little tidbits of information sprinkled in here! like his parents, and his distaste for new albion, and his LOVE OF RAVEN!! god he adores raven. they're truly meant for eachother <33

not only that but lloyds personality is so fun to listen to. and the stories are really entertaining! i thought i wouldn't ever be able to stand listening to more than a few episodes of a podcast, but i've been proven wrong

Lloyd: “You are valid, because the goo worm says so.”

Me: “Thanks Lloyd, I really needed that.”

split Game Theory into three today because of reasons

came up with three different titles because of reasons

realised i had to write a fair bit more plot and cut out some sex scenes so i don't get banned by certain storefronts because of reasons

(no ETA, do not even ASK)

Part two of my Room designs! The New Albion Radio Hour era, where the Room had an... interesting roommate. Closeups of some details under the cut! i put descriptions in the alt text.
