#fable 11

[the-sparrow-sings]

So I'm playing Fable 2 again and I'm making my new Sparrow everyone's porblem.

(Under cut so I don't clog everyone's dash)

She's essentially the same as my Classic Sparrow (murder girl raised as a living weapon, generally a Hero but becoming corrupted by the choices she feels forced to make and the weight of her responsibility), BUT with two differences.

New Sparrow was a born Villain. I've decided to headcanon that in THIS version of the Fable Universe, Archon Blooded Siblings are always a Hero and a Villain; the level of Hero/Villain each of them are varies, but that's what I decided to go with.

Now, Rose in this AU would have been a Heroic Hero, but Sparrow was a born villain - she has a darkness inside of her (inspired by the Baldur's Gate 3 Dark Urge) that gives her a proclivity for darker things, which is why she engages with The Temple of Shadows, but she isn't willing to go as far as to annihilate Oakfield - at least not that early in her journey. She learns after going back to Bowerstone for the first time in a decade that she has a hefty desire for praise, thus she indulges in all the pageantry of heroism, while feeding her darkest desires as privately as she can.

She met her husband in Westcliff; initially she planned to just use Lez to open the Oakfield Demon Door and then Sacrifice him to the Shadows, but he grew on her during the journey from Westcliff to Oakfield (the male Thug voice model says "Woof Woof" if you praise the dog in front of him, and for that reason he lives lol) and she decided to keep him around. They have a daughter together, Libby, who inherited Sparrow's evil and her father's aggression. She visits them often, and was a doting mother while Libby was a baby. She loved that she could come home covered in blood and he would not only not run in fear, but be incredibly attracted to her. (One of his sex lines is "Big and strong, just how I like 'em!" which is great, because I had Accuracy and Physique almost maxed out before she even went to the spire. Lez knows what he's ABOUT.)

It's actually her family that inspires Sparrow to start buying up properties and businesses to build an empire; she wants her family to want for nothing. (1000 gold upkeep!)

In The Spire, she discovers that she can indulge her sadomasochistic tendencies and be rewarded for it. Were it not for her intense drive to destroy Lucien, she may have turned on Garth to remain there - she had genuinely bonded with The Commandant (having been raised by Theresa essentially as a vengeance fueled living weapon, this Sparrow was well suited to Spire life).

After the Spire, the first thing she does is reunite with her family; obviously Libby has grown. She remains a doting mother right up until Lucien murders her family.

After defeating Lucien, Sparrow chooses to wish her family back, mostly because she cannot live without her dog...but she never visits her husband and daughter again.

She hopes the world will forget that they exist. If her enemies believe she doesn't care about them, maybe this time they will be safe. (She maintains their upkeep in secret).

This Sparrow turns to Reaver for solace and companionship in much the same way my OG Sparrow does, with the added caveat of him being one of the few people aware that her original husband and daughter are still alive. This extends to Sparrow taking up Reaver's offer to help her become immortal, like him (which "sadly", due to Theresa's interference, does not stick).

For Libby's role in the extended Lore, she grows up jaded and angry - she learns that her mother isn't dead like her father claimed; in fact, she's the queen of fucking Albion. Libby eventually becomes a Bandit Queen in her own right, a fully Villainous Hero.

Now, canonically, since Fable 3 takes place 50 years after Fable 2, Sparrow has to be between 50 and 60 years old when Logan and the HoBW are born (which is part of why I headcanon that she extended her life like Reaver did), while she was 18 when Libby was born. As such, Libby is considerably older than Logan. If Logan was 25 during the events of Fable 3, Libby is 35 years older than him, and is 60 during that timeline.

I like the idea of Logan meeting Libby shortly after Sparrow's death, fighting her as the new King of Albion VS The Bandit Queen, and not realizing that she's his sister until she's forced to use her will abilities to fight him, and she volunteers the information by way of telling him that he "is the spitting image of Mother." Covertly, Libby assists Logan in his eradication of the Trolls.

In this, Logan is actually the one of the siblings born to be a Heroic Hero, meanwhile his sisters, Libby and Olivia (my HoBW) are Villainous Heroes like their mother. (Libby also clocks immediately that Olivia is Reaver's daughter - Libby does not meet Olivia, but bullies Logan relentlessly about their father being fucking Reaver)

It's missing Fable smp hours

Expect it's funky bc man ⟟ miss the feeling like- leading right to to the finale end

Like, from the day we knew when the finale was gonna happen (which fun fact is tomorrow we found out) right up to the end and not really knowing what was gonna happen

It's weird-

I think there are more flower gods in the Bug Fables world.

The known ones have serial numbers, as given by those accursed monitors:

M-001 "Mars"

V-012 "Venus"

P-183 "Pluto"

Discoveries can have serial numbers too, so this doesn't inherently conflict with Venus being around back when civilization was just beginning. But then, why the gap between Mars and Venus?

Well, Venus's number is V-012. All the known flower gods are named after Roman gods. Specifically, members of Dii Consentes, the Roman version of the Greek's Olympians (Except Pluto, but I'll get into that). Which there are twelve of.

The complete list of these gods is: Jupiter (king of the gods and god of the sky), Juno (queen of the gods and goddess of marriage), Neptune (god of water and the sea), Minerva (goddess of wisdom and arts), Mars (god of war and an agricultural guardian), Venus (goddess of love and beauty), Apollo (god of music, healing, the sun, etc.), Diana (goddess of hunting, childbirth, and the moon), Vulcan (god of fire and metalworking), Vesta (goddess of family and the hearth), Mercury (god of travellers and commerce), Ceres (goddess of agriculture and fertility). If I got any wrong, please correct me; my knowledge comes from Wikipedia and Greek mythology.

The one flower god we've met doesn't line up: Venus the plant is a harvest goddess, not a love goddess. There is a fertility comparison to be made, but still. Roman flower gods! At least ten more of them!

And now to talk about Pluto. I stand by my belief that they are a creation of Upper Snakemouth, but their name is significant. Pluto the god is the ruler of the underworld and the god of the afterlife. This makes sense for a game about immortality, and a facility obsessed with cheating death. Pluto is also not in Dii Consentes, which matches the plant being far younger and having a much higher serial number than its siblings. (The god Pluto is as old as his siblings, but here it's thematic.)

(Side note: according to Wikipedia, Pluto was one of the names for Hades that eventually became a name for the Roman god[s] of the underworld, Orcus and Dis Pater. I think that's what I just read. Why can nothing be easy?)

Months have passed, times have changed, and tournament plans have crumbled to pieces before our very eyes...

But now, let us rise from the ashes! The Popular Girls CharacTourney shall be born anew!

To ensure no mishaps occur, things will be slightly less automated around here, and schedules will change a bit. After each round, a full day shall pass before the next begins to ensure adequate time is given for preparations. Additionally, posts will no longer be scheduled for specific times. They shall be drafted and remain there until they are needed. Hope that clears things up!

And now the moment you've all been waiting for. The theme of the next Popular Girls CharacTourney, marking our triumphant return, shall be...!

Probably not what you were expecting, huh? Speaking as Luna, I think a little self-indulgence never hurt anyone, and with this CharacTourney here, I'm going all the way! I've played and watched a lot of things over my 22 years on this planet, and I've gotten to know many characters, some of whom would shape my identity, some of whom radiate the energy I strive for, and some of whom I just plain like a lot. All of these characters come together to form one principle idea: the essence of Lunacore!

While the characters on display are objectively all over the place, know that they all have a place in my heart and soul. And if they have a place in yours too, may your votes carry them to victory!

The first round shall begin this Friday, so feel free to submit (spoiler-free) propaganda for your favorite character(s)!

I am currently watching Artfulrenegade's latest fable smp vod (Loose Ends) on twitch, and I'm at the part where Fennris is naming his sword, and the suggestion consequences came up... and now all I can think of is Fennris going up to Fable (and/or Icarus) and saying something like "Consequences finally catching up to you huh?" and then bonking them on the head with the flat part of his sword and knocking him out cold.

Philippines - A Denied Mother

The story tells a tale about a magical dog who had three human daughters. When two of the daughters rejected their mother due to their shame over their unconventional origins, one of them stepped up and chose to care for her unconditionally. This week's fable unveils a tale of familial bonds and reminds us of the need to acknowledge where we came from.

Just beat Bug Fables for the third time, second time this year, this time I did a challenge run, and even rushing past most of the dialogue because my last playthrough was so recent I'm struck with, such a desire for fanfic to exist that doesn't. But I also know I don't write enough and if I ever found the time and energy to I would wanna finish my Beastars stuff before doing anything for a fandom that basically doesn't exist.

But still. Fuck, dude.

Since bee stingers are modified ovipositers, does Jaune replacing hers with a paintbrush count as bottom surgery?
