tell me about your sad man!!!!! 🥺🥺

oh man i am still not used to saying things on here and ppl going i see that you have said a thing pls elaborate on that thing, also THANk u bless u so on and so forth

my sad sad man is named ALISTAIRE FINCH and he is the protag of a story about some idiots who killed half of god as a power grab and fucked up the fabric of reality as a whole (SECRETLY), condemning these two civilizations on opposite sides of the veil to a dysfunctional symbiosis and eventual collapse, until alistaire is selected to take the place of the last court composer of the immortal court (A SURPRISINGLY HIGH STAKES ROLE) and is forced to pack up his (HARD WON) life and move to the other side of the veil (WEIRD, CREEPY, WHY IS THE WEATHER WARM HERE WTF DO YOU MEAN Y'ALL HAVE SUNLIGHT ALL YEAR) where he finds out kings are exactly as stupid and bitchy as all the stories say and asks way too many questions (dont you think its kind of Weird that you can't Create Things without kidnapping humans to do it for you what's that about) and finds out the thing about some idiots killing half of god and listen i don't know if he's gonna feel moved to fix it or not yet but what i do know is he has some extremely freaky sex with the bitchy king, and honestly what more does anyone want in a story

ive been playin w him for like Years but i never found where he fit—knew he was a composer and a pianist, knew he was Chilly™ (he is,, also,,,,, where the idea of assassin couriers, came from,,,,...,.. which is definitely for sure unrelated to everything) but then i 1) reread the locked tomb 2) watched akira 3) listened to a lot of rachmaninoff 4) played hyper light drifter and 5) got obsessed w the demiurg, and now i not only KNOW what's up w him, i have Soooooo much actual shit to play with and i am gnawing gnashing biting biting biting biting;adlkfjaw

bonus points: royal line of shifter dragons, court intrigue with morally dubious fey-adjacent nobility/socialites, alistaire's very excellent sister juliette who's gonna get herself in so much trouble and then fix it her own damn self bc She Might Be Low On Common Sense But Her Mistakes Are HERS Dammit, extremely haunted magic, and a great deal of horniness about the tactile experience of live music

A is also,, a triple capricorn. so that's really too bad for him

[heavywithfire]

I have taken it upon myself as a sacred duty to fight every motherfucker in the NYTimes comment section who calls Cormac McCarthy either a Nihilist or a Misanthrope.

The man doesn’t think people are evil, dammit. He just thinks God is evil and darkness is all encompassing and we are often under the sway of the Demiurge but there is a fire inside of us that can connect to the All-Father because as the good Oracle says: “the self-generated Paternal Intellect sewed the bond of Love, heavy with fire, into all things.”

Like, c’mon. Don’t you people know your 2nd century heretic religions AT ALL??

[hugsforvillains]

“Their vitriol aside, I’d be quite interested to see the result of such a union [between Momonga and Albedo]...Every great ruler needs an heir, don’t they?”

Dammit, Demiurge.

This guy’s ignoring the imminent yandere deathmatch in favor of hoping his boss gets laid so he can have a future boss.

Those are...definitely some priorities he has.

[oreana-galena]

You’re gonna give official near nude artwork of Albedo and Shall but NOT DEMIURGE?! *Throws hands up* Dammit, Overlord…

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Demiurge demands only the finest gold for the rings, Albedo is threatening to kill any servant that gets the decor wrong, the Battlemaids are practically fawning over potential wedding attires for their lords with Albedo meanwhile, Ainz and his beloved are quite flustered but flattered

The Guardians are in charge of the wedding planning because they want their supreme beings to relax and not have to worry about anything. They all take this with outmost seriousness. Everything has to be perfect and nothing left up to chance! Shalltear and Albedo both bring with them books with wedding options to no one’s surprise though they are surprised when Demigure also brings one. Yep, turns out he’s been planning for this since the day Nazarick were transported to the New World.

As for the rings? Pfft. Gold? While a precious metal, gold is soft. No, their rings are going to be made out of pure adamantine because just like it their marriage is going to be strong and durable! It was actually Cocytus that came up with this idea and he was immediately praised by the other Guardians for it. Then he tried to take it a step further and suggested that instead of rings they’d exchange pieces of armor but that’s where the others stopped him.

Now that the true nature of their relationship has been revealed, Ainz and his boyfriend are more open with their love and honestly? Everyone in Nazarick is living for it. The first time Ainz and his boyfriend kissed in public, Narberal, who was present at the time, had to excuse herself for a moment so she could step out and wipe away a tear. Love sure is beautiful.

So. Many. Outfits. Honestly, Ainz and his partner would be more than happy to simply use the same clothes they usually wear for the wedding but nope, that ain’t an option. At first they feel a tiny bit frustrated by this but then they see each other in wedding attire for the first time and then they both go “oh. OH.” God dammit, they are so in love and seeing each other like that makes their hearts flutter. If Ainz could then he would cry because his boyfriend is so handsome. Don’t worry Ainz, your boyfriend will cry those tears for you because he feels exactly the same.

Pandora’s Actor already knew that Ainz and his boyfriend were engaged because Ainz had told him earlier than the others. The doppelgänger is overjoyed by the news because this means that he won’t have just one father but two! He’s always adored and looked up to Ainz’ partner and can’t think of anyone that’d be a better match for his creator. Thanks to this Pandora’s Actor is actually very close to him. He’s actually the only other one present for the small ceremony Ainz and his boyfriend will have in secret before the big official wedding. He’ll act as both the witness and the officiator. The small ceremony will be held in the treasury and it’s just them vowing to love each other for eternity.

Let's talk ships, you certainly wrote a lot of them involving Lily (much to the delight of us, your faithful readers) but I wanna know who is your favourite. Or if you even have a favourite since they're all really good. I personally like the OG Lily/Lenin and Lee/Obito the most since I love me that companionship and loyalty.

PS: Take your time with the updates! We know that you've been busy and I personally wouldn't mind waiting if it means less stress for you

A very good question and as you note a hard decision to make. That said, I do have favorites so let’s list them in order.

1. OG Lily/Lenin

This is really the ship, well relationship, that drives the entire story of “Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus” and so many of the off-shoots. While Lily and Wizard Lenin rarely get together in side fics there’s almost always very intense feelings towards each other and at the very least platonic love.

I think that alone is indicative of how much I buy into the ship. 

2. Lily Evans and Tom Riddle from October

This might actually be tied for first. Shockingly. I know this ship cleared half of the audience for October. I know it’s also not even the end ship of the fic. But dammit, it’s the driving force for the latter half of the fic and in my personal opinion is wonderful. 

As mentioned before, after October finishes, I will very likely be embarking on an epic purely Lily Evans/Tom Riddle. 

3. Uchiha Obito/Eru Lee

This one might be a little more surprising in that it has only ever shown up in side fics of side fics. And not even all of them at that. There are other “Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds” offshoots where she ends up with Minato or else Tobirama.

That said, like you, I’m clearly into that companionship and ridiculous loyalty and also getting over unrequited love. That and Lee and Obito are so much fun, get on like a house on fire, and always turn a plot into absurd levels of violence, comedy, horror, and chaos.

I hate to say it but Obito/Lee is just hands down a better and more interesting love story than Lee/Minato or Lee/Tobirama.

I think it says a lot that I’ve now done multiple “stick Lee and Obito into x dimension and watch them go”. One of them, of course, being a massive epic space opera.

4. Senju Tobirama/Eru Lee

Yes, I’m putting this ahead of the canon “Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds” pairing. 

While not quite as interesting as Lee/Obito there’s just something about Tobirama/Lee that’s engaging. He works as a great straight man against Lee’s comedic foil. More Tobirama’s led this very difficult, tragic, life that the pairing leads into exploring.

So I enjoy them quite a bit.

5. Mairon | The One Ring/Lily from The Wasteland

I’m still very fond of this fic. It has a weakish beginning in my opinion but once it got going it really got going and even now I find myself very fond of where the ring and Lily end up together. I imagine, in the sequel I’ll never write because I really like where that fic ended, they return to England and likely eventually get married. 

They were just great together. Even though Lily was really too young in the story for it to be a ship per se.

6. Harry Potter and Tom Riddle in the Brain from When Harry Met Tom

They might be Lily and Wizard Lenin Lite, but dammit, they’re great together and I’m glad we have finally gotten to the absurd love triangle we have with these two. 

7. Harry Potter and Young Tom Riddle from When Harry Met Tom

Not to be left out, these two are a delightful, chaotic, mess. I love the teenage drama, the over the top emotions, the hurt feelings, and the merry go round these two can never seem to get off.

Where else can I milk “I’m dating my sister?!” for five chapters as a joke?

9. Namikaze Minato/Eru Lee

And we finally get to Minato/Lee. I do enjoy it, the friends to lovers dynamic and just the way they work together, and I think it works very well in the story and really makes the most sense in the original fic. However, that said, I’ll admit that as I’ve written my way through the other pairings it’s the more boring option.

It just doesn’t have quite the same oomph as Obito/Lee or even Tobirama/Lee.

10. Gilgamesh and Lily from The Demiurge

This probably should be a little higher, but it’s a hard choice, but I do love these two and Gilgamesh’s ridiculous ego and shockingly believable redemption. The fic was so compelling it spawned multiple unanticipated spin offs, one a sequel several chapters long.

There are other ships that have shown up here and there. These are the main ones that immediately come to mind though so I think we’ll leave it at that. Also, ten is a good number to end on. Though that said, usually if the pairing shows up in my works, I have *some* feeling for it.

Well, unless I’m trying to be more canon leaning than usual and go, “Ugh, fine, I guess James will be married to Lily.”

[princessamericachavez]

What class do you think that America Chavez would play if the Young Avengers started a D&D game?

That’s interesting! 

My gut reaction was Paladin, because I think at heart America is a Paladin. She’s moral to a fault, has a no-nonsense attitude towards evil and upholds the name of her deity (the Demiurge). Her whole drive in life is literally about being a hero and saving people. 

If they were playing, though, I think she’d go for a Barbarian. She’d be all about taking and dealing damage, tanking to keep the party safe, and would be more comfortable away from more complicated spell casting or having to make important decisions. I think she’d start very cartooney like “dumb big girl just wants to hit things” and then would plot-twist and bring in some complicated tragic backstory that’d leave the others shooked. 

In a second campaign, though, she might risk it and play a magic user, maybe a sorcerer, or a cleric (because they can be badass but also her friends keep dying dammit).

Either way, she has the craziest ideas (she’s seen a lot of shit around the Multiverse, ok?) and will make the most chaotic suggestions with a deadpan face.

[darthcontusion]

okay here’s the thing about tri.

I’m really mad, and if me being mad at tri. will make you upset at me, I’m sorry. I’m really glad you enjoyed the show. I did not. Please do not waste your time subjecting yourself to my profanity-laden griping.

i don’t want a sequel, i want it not to have been a waste of my god damned time.

I know that sounds angry, and believe me i don’t wish anyone any bad will for making the show or anyone any bad will for enjoying it, even though it frustrates me.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of stuff I liked! I just decided i would rather post about the stuff I hate.

It’s just... god. how do i put this. how about a list?

1. our first villain, alphamon, goes uncharacterized, undefeated, and is ultimately unimportant. Our introduction to this show’s rogue’s gallery is a nobody. He interestingly saves the kids from the kuwagamon, and noticeably spares their partners in his battle against them, but it’s not even acknowledged. He was never even defeated, he’s just fucking gone.

2. Meiko. Everything about Meiko. What is her arc? what does she learn? Nothing. She is the same at the end as she was at the beginning, just sadder. Her development doesn’t result in an evolution, it doesn’t result in overcoming the tension between her and her father, we don’t even learn why her father is so distant. She just goes back home, back to where she was. Tai doesn’t tell her about the stupid crush he has on her for no reason. Her relationship with Mimi is completely forgotten and Mimi’s crush on her is brushed aside. Mimi fucking kisses her. (i change my mind let’s not get into this bit)

3. The core conflict dragged on for 4 god damned movies. It wasn’t a discussion, it wasn’t complex, it wasn’t slowly spiraling to a point, it was the same two points bouncing back and forth for 5 hours. We can’t kill a friend, there has to be another way vs. it is the right thing to do to put down our friend who we have just met and is bringing about the apocalypse. nothing new is added to the discussion. It just goes on and on until Omegamon “Merciful” Mode activates the newtype destroyer system and kills Meicoomon. This pisses me off because it means that homeostasis was right in trying to kill her in movie 5, and, in addition, we have the same set of arguments AGAIN and arrive at the same conclusion AGAIN so we gained nothing except the time izzy needed to pull everyone’s memories out of his ass.

4. the bit about the demiurge in the beginning meant nothing. all the pretentious rambling in the show meant absolutely nothing and added absolutely nothing.

5. hackmon. who the fuck was he talking to during the climax of movie 3? Homeostasis itself? Okay, fine. I don’t like that he shows up to have completely pointless conversations with people instead of, y’know... the kids? He seems like a good dude. He could probably reason with them better than an entirely alien entity like Homeostasis itself could. He tells Meiko the reboot isn’t his true intention, but he never says what his true intention actually is. And we never find out. TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO-

6. the fucking dark ocean again. DON’T BRING IT UP IF IT DOESN’T MATTER DAMMIT. Himekawa just vanishes into cthulhu land. A major antagonist just disappears from the story! She’s just fucking gone! What was her relationship to Meiko and Meicoomon? All this implied depth and complexity is just flushed down the toilet after she spends a movie hunting her amnesiac partner with a fucking elephant gun.

7. the prophecy from movie 2 means nothing. It was a pointless prophecy. we didn’t need a prophecy.

8. Gennai. I have to admit I loved his acting in this one. But really what the fuck even is his deal. I hate him. Why does he keep dressing up as the Kaiser? It doesn’t make sense. WHY DOES HE KIDNAP THE 02 KIDS INSTEAD OF JUST KILLING THEM? WHY DOESN’T HE JUST KILL TAI AND DAIGO? WHY IS DAIGO THAT BADLY HURT BUT NOT TAI? WHY WRITE IT THAT WAY IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO BULLSHIT YOUR WAY OUT OF IT?

I could go on for hours and hours and hours and i would make myself angrier and more frustrated, but really... I’m just mad that they set all this up so they could sell us a sequel.

At the end of the day, it was a business decision.

They decided that the numbers were good enough that they could strip out all the answers to the interesting questions and put them in another series.

That’s why I consider it a waste of my time.That’s what I was staying for.

I don’t care about tragedy, I don’t care about sad kids being sad. I don’t enjoy suffering. I don’t care about long silences, I don’t care about flashbacks. I don’t care about pregnant pauses.

I didn’t get answers and now they tell me I’ve gotta wait even longer to know what the fuck is going on. I don’t even know what I’m waiting for. I don’t want to watch anymore fucking tri.

The way I see it, this is show is horrifically bloated and yet somehow empty. If a show strings you along on the basis of potentially getting answers and then when you get to the end it asks you to buy the next show instead of telling you, it’s a load of horse’s shit.

Some more shitty Pokémon fan game plots:

-”The Main Villain is Legendary’s Herald, literally”: A conventional story occurs where the villain team tries to vassal Legendaries of Mascot Legendary to summon Mascot itself. The plot twist is the main villains are actually the sub-legendaries themselves disguised as humans or using human avatars, SMT-style, and they are trying to resurrect their master. Bonus points if any of them have human relatives.

-”The Dog was The Demiurge”: An expansion of the “Mascot Legendary is the true villain” idea, the respective mascot legendary disguises itself as a common assisting Pokémon or human assistant to your contacts, being the secret mastermind pulling the strings to return back to his glory.

-”Compression of Types”: Inspired by Ultimicea’s plot to recreate singularity, a main villain might try to compress the energies of all types into one single unit to recreate Arceus’ original power to create ex nihilo or recreate singularity to start another universe, without requiring external legendaries. This might be used to resurrect a dead Legendary or might attract a sleeping legendary.

-”Gods have left us and the land”: The Legendaries have long disappeared from public consciousness and physically, but this has left the remaining region culturally, economically, agriculturally and demographically dry. The trainer should leave villains be until Legendaries return.

-”Bring back the monarchy/keep the new republic”: Previous sets of Legendaries have supplanted by a new group Legendaries or sub-legendaries, and villain is trying to resurrect the old pantheon. Your plot diverges from that point.

-”The Dead God is Relevant Dammit”: Villain’s plot to resurrect to legendary might fail because his domain is completely irrelevant these days, so the villain tries to resurrect that domain before resurrecting the legendary to solve the issue.

-”The Fairy was the Anti-Christ”: Similar to second one, the sub-legendary or legendary appears to help you in your battle against villain’s legendary, but in reality the legendary is using you to defeat its rival.

-”You Were Always in Kansas”: Villain’s plot fails because legendary is already awoken because of you and has been assisting you. You end up fighting the villain vanilla.

Gimmie this eps, dammit... I'M DEMIURGE DEPRIVED...

[the-blind-geisha]

I... guess he knew all along? LOL

I tried with Albedo, but she's a disaster with me. Q_Q She's OK with Demiurge though.

[the-blind-geisha]

Dammit... having thoughts about Demiurge being so desperate to have an heir with the MC SB before she decides to leave the game for good.

I imagine this with an alternative setup in the system where touch and all that was allowed, running on a vibe akin to some games where you can have a digital family.

So they have their baby and MC leaves for a while--till finally coming back to see what she missed.

And then she gets trapped in her avatar.

[the-blind-geisha]

Me drawing: God dammit, Demiurge, can't you just smile for one moment like a normal demon person without looking like you're up to something...

Demiurge:

[the-blind-geisha]

Going back to the ask about about Dems finding Mc’s nudes, got me thinking, what if he found out she did porn or stuff like that? Whether she did it for money or just pleasure (I guess that might be hard considering Dems is still kinda old fashioned when it comes to tech which I think is cuteness)

Haha, for me, personally—I see Modern!Demi as being very 'eh, I just have this phone for texting out and sending quick calls to family and friends while also updating people on their orders'. XD So he has a phone that's not really the latest, because he doesn't want to put his money on something he's not that interested in. (Cue scene where Demi's children gift him a recent tech phone, and he's just 'oh god, how do I work this?')

Does he have a retro/ tube TV? Mm, he probably keeps his old technology items out of nostalgia, but I don't think he uses them anymore. I'd like to think his mom's old dial TV is in the basement somewhere like a set piece.

The one item in his house that would be the latest and great is or would be his PC since the net kind of rules the world by this point. His TV would be under that in terms of being maybe a 5-year-old model and then his phone would be very retro, always being 10 or so years behind the date of its release.

As far as him finding out about the money or pleasure thing:

To say he didn't go out of his way to hunt down porn online was a bit silly. Demiurge would frequent the net from time to time looking at such things to release any sexual frustrations he had built up. In doing so, he found her quite easily.

He was shocked... He wasn't appalled, he was just... shocked.

Did she not understand this was dangerous? Demiurge could recall all the moments of horror stories regarding men tracking down women they had built up a fantasy over and doing horrible things to her. But, what was he saying? Was he saying this because he was scared for her or was he saying it because he was jealous?

It was her body. She was allowed to do what she wished with it. It wasn't his right to shackle her to his lusts, wants, and needs.

But, dammit. Nearly a million different people had seen these erotic photos and videos. Demiurge just felt sick to his stomach. He wanted to be the special one who got that privilege, but now all these nobodies got it too.

He looked at his phone, hovering his finger over the very thought of calling her... but what could he say? Any direction he could even take this wouldn't be pleasant. No doubt she would be angry he even would have this talk with her in the first place.

She wasn't his and he wasn't hers... much to his own dismay.

Was she doing it for money? He could give her money if she needed it. Was she doing it for attention? He could give her that validation and love any day if she just asked for it.

“I'm being selfish,” Demiurge sighed, looking away with a furrow of his brow. He put his phone off to the side. Even he had to admit the truth in the quietness of his room: he too needed validation and love given his own negative look at himself.

He just wanted y/n to give it to him.
