==> YOU CAN'T DO THIS!

The story needs her. You can't just mess around with timelines like this! This is not what narrators do!

=Oh? And what do we do?= We tell, not show! All narratives follow a strict alpha timeline. If you mess with the alpha, it messes with all other timelines existing and hypothetical. It would mess up the balance of paradox space itself!

=I understand this.=

Then why are you doing this?!

==>

=Because his pain tastes better than her faith.=

W-what? Your kind would go that far?

=No. But I do.=

I won't let you. You can't.

=Won't let me?=

==>

=I am the catalyst. I have put history in motion long before your paradox was born. I am the one who made this narrative. I am the wolf who shepherds the flock so I can feed upon their wool.=

=I am not bound by your silly rules, for I am not like you. You forget, narrators do not interact with the narrative lest they are the force of motion granted by the god writer; I am that force in motion. Try as you may to stop me, the author won't let you.=

What is your goal here? Power?

=No.=

Then what?

=To do what all living things must do: feed. I take no satisfaction from this, I take no amusement, no malice. I am simply playing my cards so that I must eat.=

Messiahs aren't supposed to do this.

=The other Messiahs are not as clever as I.=

There's only so much disorder you can do to a timeline before it becomes another world itself! If you keep changing the narratives, who knows what will happen?

This bears no significance to me. I do not care about the lives I have touched. Trollkind is neither my friend nor my enemy. This neutral arrangement is what kept us alive for so long, it is how we are able to feast upon your kind for millennia like leeches to an open wound. You only oppose me because you do not share in my instinct. You are chained to this sun, a prisoner witness to all of time and space.

That's not true...

=Please, I encourage you to continue your fits of denial. Your misery has a fine flavor to it.=

I don't understand. There's so many other ways you can feed off of energy. You don't have to do this! Rutaci might not ever come back! Why are you--

=You poor sheep.=

==>

=Almost all life that exists on your plane always assumes a 'why.' A mortal mind cannot comprehend that there is a lack of reason for their world. They always grip onto something, as if the truth is something tangible that would save them from themselves. There is no truth to find. There is no purpose in life. No god created your world, and no god will take you from it. There is no why to your existence, nor mine.=

Then you kill people, revive them, torture them, bring them joy, save their lives... all... just because?

That would imply reason. There is none.

I don't believe you-- agh!

==>

==>

==>

==>

==>

==>

==>

==>

==>

=Do you believe it now, now that your very own narrative has split? The things that I can and cannot do? I do not possess your boundaries, nor will I ever. I am not a narrator, nor am I a god; I am a parasite of which that must feed.=

W-what...? How did you...? Why?

=Because it simply is. I am done explaining to you the nature of things you should already know. Come now, Mystical; you are due your freedom, and I, a meal.= =And I know where to look.=

==>

Rule: Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Tagged by: @thepacksurvives thank you!!

Last song: "All of the girls you loved before" by Taylor Swift, which is great and I will never stop being salty about it being left off the album to make room for crap like "You need to calm down"

Last show: The Last of Us

Last movie: Everything Everywhere All At Once which I watched with my mother. We were both sobbing by the end because it really was About Us and Our Relationship.

Currently watching: Shadow and Bone season 2, only had time to watch one episode but so far so good

Currently reading: A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle

Current obsession: Plants! Give me plants. I want ALL of the plants. I want to turn my flat into a greenhouse. I am not remotely succeeding because I live closer to the North Pole than any sane human should and winter is a dark hellhole from which no life can escape, but it's fun nonetheless. And I love painting flower pots in fun colours and making macrame plant hangers for them.

Dnd Questions: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42 ;)

>:)

this is very long. only talking about the two long-running kids! anthe n ori!

what relationship does your character have with their parents and siblings?

ori and her family have a very bad relationship, is the thing. she was very close to her brother, as a kid, and she relates very heavily to her mother--she did as a child, but even more now. she also thinks that all three of them are terrible people. i think the only one she actively, openly hates is her father, and she thinks that her brother might be redeemable. and her mother... she can’t condemn her mother; that’s hypocrisy.

anthe is a silly lass, with her family. uhhhh it’s complicated, to say the least? they’re not bad people, but they didn’t really know how to handle her and she knows that. she was a kid at the time, which fucks her up a lot, and she has her dang abandonment issues about it. so she’d prefer to not see them again, please and thanks.

what location encountered in the campaign has your character felt the most “at home” in, or just generally liked the most?

ori is most comfortable in calm nature moments--relaxing under the stars and what have you, but she felt most at home in the assorted adventures with vallakian nobility. wachterhaus was a nightmare hellworld flashback zone for her. thanks.

anthe liked the savalirwood more than you’d expect! haunted forests are so relaxing and lovely and wonderful <3

what battle in the campaign has been most memorable to your character?

either wachterhaus or the most recent fight for ori. considering the character death of it all. i think ultimately the most recent fight is going to ultimately be more memorable just because of what happened to her specifically? the whole. wings and healing magic and sort of. having a third path presented to her in terms of her magic and goals and ways to help people. thing was a lot.

THIS IS A TOUGH COMPETITION FOR ANTHE. the jhe PVP fight is a big one--she referenced it in yesterday’s session because she literally hates. every single thing she did in that fight. harm, geas, panicking and giving up on geas, panicking--she was genuinely useless in that fight. i intended as much, but she hates it. but also, uh, worm experience. not everyday that you die and are brought back!

if your character wasn’t whatever class they are, what would they be instead?

ori’s multiclassing into my usual answer for this soon (druid! yay!), so i will say that she would be very interested in being a ranger! she likes the woods a lot and she likes magic, and she’s very good at tracking people and things down... it makes sense! she is a smart lass and a naturey lass and a combat lass so. it’s just the natural choice. she’d probs go horizon walker. >:) also mercy monk ori is dear to my heart. and PALADIN ORI... statistically impossible for miss 10 str 6 cha but thematically... oath of redemption ori is so sexy. god.

anthe would be a druid! backstory wise, at least. she likes having magic a lot, and it also factors in her love of nature. tho--i might go for the druid/barb build, frankly. go for, like.... stars druid 17 berserker 3. that would be sexy i think.

if your character could go back in time and change one thing about their life, what would it be?

they both have anxiety disorders don’t make me think about this. uh. ori would take her brother with her, somehow, when she left. anthe would have looked for a different god sooner.

what does your character think is the true meaning of life?

ori thinks it is to simply... make the world a better place. she is seeking redemption for that which she was complicit in, but she also just. genuinely thinks that the world can be healed and made into a gentler, warmer place. she hopes as much. her purpose is to further that warmth as much as she can.

anthe wants to understand. the meaning of life is finding meaning, and eventually dying, and in your knowing, you escape entropy! yeehaw!!!! (she is terrified of entropy!)

dharmastation replied to your photoset “some more gif experimentation I’ve been doing! (1st gif is w/ no edits...”

idk what show this is from, but i love the bottom two, especially the one on the right. and your gifs are so smooth!!!

Omg thank you! I can’t really take credit for the smoothness of the gifs as I basically just followed tutorials to learn to make them look like that, but I am really proud of the coloring work I’ve been doing lately! I particularly like the lower left gif.

The lady is a character from an original Netflix sci-fi show called Travelers. It took me a while to warm up to the show but now I’m obsessed!

Kia Ora to both the Zealises

I know this is for Julian and Zeppelin but I have two separate Zeppelins here, one that's bound to Julian and one that's walking around freely (let's just call him Zeppelinsprite even though he's not a sprite anymore), so I'm overthinking things and not sure who to have respond. So I'll give ALL of them! Mwahaha!

----

Julian: 'Ullo, mate! Hope today's chocka with good vibes.

Zeppelin: яєƒяєѕнιηg тσ вє α∂∂яєѕѕє∂ ωιтн тнσѕє ωσя∂ѕ… тнσυgн ι ѕєє уσυ нανє ησ ¢нєєѕє.

Dharmast: Kia ora!

==

Zeppelinsprite (has no art): .....

It appears he is not used to being interacted with. Dharmast, Julian, and that Julian's Zeppelin? Sure. But him? He shuffles his weight unevenly on his feet, his two tails flicking as he briefly considers answering you. But, seeing as he has nothing to say, or if he does he's unable to speak it, he turns away. A bit timid today, are we, Mr. Mystical?

Deified Julian <3

Hehe, I think that would be me.

I think for glaringly obvious reasons, I'd be a sun deity. Possibly a deity of stories, too, as I am this blog's narrator. I think it would be fitting and fun if the two went hand in hand like they do for me here. Each day, a new narrative. A new adventure. Stories lying in wait!
