Just a heads up!

((One day I'll come back...and when I do I will most likely have a major overhaul to do, oh my goodness. Maybe I'll even move Lucas' blog, to get a fresh start.

Remember when I told you guys about how I was gonna be writing a fic chronicling Lucas' journey? Yeah, that's become my passion project over the months I've been working on it-))

[immortalarizona]

so the artificer is now a goat and the bard fucking died

at this point, I've come to expect my OotA sessions to be just a little bit batshit, but this one. . . this one somehow outdid all the ones that have come before it. I'm too tired to write up a full play-by-play, and to do so would probably take me the better of five character limits, so instead, I'm just going to share the recap I sent out to my players after the session was over and give context to each major point via Numbered List. buckle up!!

“So. It turns out that Jimjar Silversinger—or Aitne Mehre, or Tamril Brenten, or Elthym T’sear, or any of the other names they’ve gone by(1)—has more than a few tricks up their sleeve, including both the means and the mission to unmask the man you thought was Elion Brybalar(2). It turns out the real Elion died years ago(3)—except no, he lives on (in a fashion) in the mysterious, fog-shrouded blob on your map known as the Labyrinth(4). Lucien freed him through one deal with a hag, but found escape from his own curse in perhaps the worst manner possible through another(5). Jimjar left to report back to the Vigilants of Aevus who had sent him that his mission was complete(6); Sarith decided to accompany the real Elion on a mutual journey of discovering what, exactly, had happened to them(7); and last you saw of Selaros, the demon rays were gnawing on his corpse(8), so that leaves just seven people in a band of what had started out as fifteen(9). Soon to be six, once you drop off Stool at their home of Neverlight Grove—something which the little myconid is very excited for.”

let's go.

if you missed my last update, the tl;dr is that both I and the moon deity pretending to be Jimjar Silversinger have been pulling a backstory for this fucking guy out of our collective asses. as part of the Big Flashy Reveal intended to keep the bard's secret under wraps for just a little longer, I had Jimjar cycle through some of the other guises his doppelganger spy/assassin has taken. in order of names, they are: a human priest of said moon deity (fun fact this is actually the original human form of said moon deity, and no one fucking knows this but me), a copper dragonborn paladin of Bahamut (it's fine, he gave the moon deity permission to borrow his holy symbol for a bit), and a drow mage (because I wanted to give a bit more spice, okay). not named but featured in the session was Ekha Rhuriak, aka the crow behind Jimjar's bullshit "yeah, uh, I know how to fly for reasons that are Absolutely Not Suspicious At All" story. the significance of these separate forms is that I decided to yoink wild shape mechanics, which led to a very...... interesting combat. shoutout to the ranger for being the only sane one in this party and being willing to talk things through with Jimjar as opposed to just Violence. this meant that Jimjar finally got to give context to his previous interactions with the bard. . .

so as it happens, two of Jimjar's forms are capable of casting dispel magic, and it only took him two tries to unmask the bard (I set the DC at 18 beforehand and rolled out in the open for both castings, just so my bard player could be certain I wasn't pulling any bullshit to screw him over). it was so fucking !!!!!!!!!!!!!! when the reveal dropped and everyone realized that the Philanthropist inverted was never about Jimjar, it was about Selaros Elpragh (the bard's real name, which I discovered in-session that I had been mentally pronouncing wrong for months) the whole time. the party then turned against him, and Jimjar-as-Tamril wound up nuking him (and healing the fighter, rogue, and ranger) with his radiant breath.

Selaros' backstory is that he was a drow man enslaved by a cruel mistress alongside a half-elf named Elion Brybalar. due to a deal with the setting's god of treachery, Analith, he murdered Elion in order to escape and took on his identity through a reworked version of the Mask of Many Faces invocation. this was a hot minute ago. now, the bard player was thinking about playing the real Elion as a reborn sporeblood sorcerer (a bit of homebrew I cooked up), and I was contemplating a way to introduce him organically. . .

at this point, we're back to what I had originally planned for the session, before the whole thing with Jimjar and the bard blew up in my and the bard player's face. shoutout to whoever it was that came up with this, because it was a blast to run. and, as part of the deal (I was planning this all the way back when I gave the ranger the Merchant inverted during his tarokka reading), I was going to have the hags offer the party a deal that could free them from their curses. . .

Lucien was the party artificer (and had recently multiclassed into wizard), and was the one who wanted the homebrew curse to turn him into a goat man. the artificer is making deals left and right with these hags as everyone else watches in amused horror, and when Nanny Plunk offers to free him from his current cursed form, he accepts. I warn the player out-of-character that the hag's "cure" is going to be turning him into a literal goat. he's like, "okay, I'm gonna roll a wisdom check, and if I roll below a 5, I'm gonna take the deal." he rolls a 4. ultimately, I do not stop him. he made this decision with full knowledge of what would happen next. the party left the goat behind with the hag, and is now looting the stuff he left on the boat (the rogue has already claimed his hat and his bag of holding). the player is now making Another new character, and I sincerely hope this will be the last time he needs one.

okay back to my Jimjar Backstory Bullshit. Aevus is the name of the shapeshifting moon deity, and their priests are often referred to as Vigilants, because I Think That Sounds Cool and it also fits with some of the other naming conventions in the world (some priests of the sun god are called Lightbringers, priestesses of the grave goddess are called Raven Ladies, etc.). so basically, Aevus-as-Jimjar is like "yeahhh, I'm here because.... my own church sent me......" and bullshitted a whole backstory about having been an assassin in the employ of the drow who was saved by the church of Aevus. this is all lies, in fact, but no one can verify it, because Aevus is a god of the surface and they're in the Underdark. before he left (in-universe because the jig was up, out-of-universe because his "greater doppelganger" statblock was not balanced to fight alongside the party), he gave the ranger a blessing that is going to help with the upcoming full moon. somehow. we'll figure it out before next session.

so while the party is in the Dark Mirage (aka the Labyrinth), they free Elion. the fighter violently objects to having Elion travel with them, and it's somehow decided that Elion is going to go on a journey offscreen to figure out how he came back from the dead with fungus powers, and that Sarith is going to accompany him. okay, sure. this is fine. (I'm going to miss Sarith, but oh well. they can always come back later!!)

the fighter (who had been affected most by the bard's manipulations) yeeted his corpse overboard as soon as she could. (little does anyone know that the ex-bard and I are plotting a possible eventual return of Selaros as a deathlock of sorts.... little does anyone know that I'm already doing this with Buppido in Gracklstugh......)

Ront, Derendil, Buppido, and Shuushar are dead. Sarith and Jimjar left, and we're down two PCs. backup characters won't arrive until Neverlight Grove. I think the only factor keeping the survivors together is the children (Topsy, Turvy, Stool) they're still responsible for. oosrp is sad and so am I.

to quote the fighter: "when you lay it out like that in a recap, this was easily our most deranged session, and it's not even a contest."

......yup.

Two vigilantes are born, and two dads are worrying.

Chapter 2 baby!

[aevus-blogging]

Hi, I'm not sure if you're going to still do my fic request (the karaoke one) after what happened with RH (and I don't blame you, what he did was disgusting)

Unless you're going to do the "Seperate the character from the person" thing @how-do-u-art suggested, I'm fine with the fic never existing (I don't even know if you're still in the RT/AH fandom tbh)

😼

Hey there. This, oof, this took me a while to answer, one part not checking my inbox, and one part me debating on what I was even gonna do with all my ah writings. And well, I ended up deciding to drop all my wips that had JRH in it and just take a bit of time. I’m still going to write for ah, mostly fahc and aus, in fact I’m revamping my Fahc animorphs au and once i have the first fic in that series mostly plotted I’ll begin writing and posting that. The only other Fic of mine I’ll be revamping is Fallen Androids, as that au initially started out with ocs with a friend that fell through and I decided to flesh it out with ah. But that one is taking a back seat till I can restructure the plot to still have the basics of what I wanted and make it not feel like I’m just slipping someone into JRH’s role.

As for your requests, and any others in my inbox about JRH, Some, like the penthouse fuckery I’ll keep, and use them to help me ease back into writing fahc, while the karaoke one I might not do. I’m dropping JRH forever. I simply can not separate that vile beast of a man from his creations. I will never use another iteration of that man in my fics unless it is for him to be the villain who gets violently killed for catharsis, and even then it’s not likely.

And as a final note, thank you. Thank you for all the prompts you’ve sent me and the support 😺.

💜

[gav-slitty]

Haha! First chap of Fallen Androids is up! If any of ya’ll are interested here you go I’m also working on writing some lazer team stuff as well, and a whole ass au I haven’t spoke about here yet

[silverdeer]

Royal Ball AU

((Sylvia will be joining the AU, so here’s a quick write up on her.))

A fairy queen, Sylvia has strong seelie powers associated with the Spring Court.

She mingles with humans when not tending to her court because, to her, it’s entertaining to mess with them.

Included with the usual seelie magic, Sylvia can shape shift.

The only people who are aware of who she is are fellow dieties (i.e. Reshi, Aevus) and those given awareness beyond the normal streams (Lucas at @timebranded​)

Sylvia will grant wishes! Only if it’s entertaining to her or at a high price.

She has a tendency to cause mischief if she is bored. Her antics include changing tapestries, leading pokemon around with magic, or dazzling people so they see illusions.

Unlike main verse, Sylvia is now 5′4″.

Symbols associated with Sylvia are stars, morning glories, and the color silver.

Tabitha: THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESNT MAKE ME FEEL FUCKING ANCIENT BY COMPARISON. Only gay in the server who I might NOT call a disaster all the time. 10/10 would hide her writing book so I could watch her go through the writing process again.

The interactions with her and Cai make me feel all fluffy, you can tell how much they care about each other. Complete OTP. 10/10 ship so hard

((Writing Temporal Platinum (which I linked in this post for convenience btw, wink wink nudge nudge) has basically led to me retconning a good number of things off the bat. The biggest of these being Lucas' friendship with Aevus.

Now I have it that Aevus was a somewhat persistent presence over the course of Lucas' journey. Like, if he was an actual NPC in the games, he'd probably have appear almost as much as N does in B/W. This is mostly because Aevus knew something was going to happen, he just couldn't know what it was or how to stop it (which is a hc for another post). Lucas was his best lead as to what that something could be because of how Roar of Time affected him. The two of them end up becoming friends through these interactions.))

A random thought I had: seeing as Professor Rowan studies Pokemon Evolution, one would think that there would be at least one Eevee in his lab. This goes double since Glaceon and Leafeon were introduced in Gen IV, and quadruple since he was in Kanto shortly before the events of Platinum.

Follow-up headcanon: I'm giving Lucas a non-shiny Umbreon. Her name is Blair and she is relaxed natured. This totally hasn't been brought about by Renegade Platinum, to insinuate otherwise is nonsense.

[timebranded]

List of headcanons that I've tweaked/retconned since I started writing Temporal Platinum:

The addition of Blair (Umbreon) in Lucas' main team.

Aevus' presence in Lucas' journey being much like N's presence in Hilbert's (so basically Aevus is the deuteragonist). That's because before all this started, he noticed several timelines unraveling which was doing him a Concern.

Lucas has known about his Aura sensitivity since before his journey started. I don't know if I've had that set already, but I do now have it that Aevus was the one who tipped him off on that.

I've made this pretty unclear in the past, but now I can firmly say that Lucas isn't the one from an alternate timeline.

One night, Lucas suddenly found stranded in Solaceon Ruins after an encounter with the Unown. This encounter resulted in him getting an odd satchel (that might or might not have belonged to Rei).

SPEAKING OF REI. Aside from being the spitting image of Rei, Lucas does have a few parallels with him; grass starter and an Umbreon, among other things. But it ultimately could be argued that they are two separate people.

[timebranded]

((Me before I start writing the fic: Aevus is gonna be calm or careful natured. Maybe even serious natured?

Me as I develop headcanons and connect some dots: ...Fuck. He's lonely natured, isn't he.))
