Have you been getting into Good Omens while I wasn't looking? 👀

I can't help but notice a slight influx in GO content in my dash ahihih

HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME—

(I say as if I didn't just reblog something Good Omens related today)

But yeah, I have!! I was going to tell you but it appears I have forgotten AGDJDG (I thought I already did but. I don't think so–). I finally caught up with the series on January and boy it was a personal rollercoaster for me /pos

Some of my friends may or may not have uh, witnessed how slightly emotional I got after the last episode of Season 2.

(I wasn't even sad, I just felt betrayed and broke into tears /lh /notneg)

BUT !!!

Do not let this fool you for these are Tears of Joy (well. not exactly occurring because of joy but they're not negative!)

Overall, I quite enjoyed the Good Omens experience. I thought it was a very fun show with solid writing;

The storyline wasn't too hard to follow and despite the Lore it has, it's not too heavy and honestly easy to digest. Light yet juicy.

It's labelled as a comedy television series and honestly I can see it. I enjoyed the humor the series has, I giggled and smiled a lot whilst watching it.

I found the characters to be very enjoyable and it was real fun to see how everyone interacted with each other. The dynamics everyone had felt natural and not forced to me.

By extension, the dialogues too! Flowed nicely imo, the actors did a great job in bringing their characters to life. Everyone was so entertaining lol (especially a certain Inspector in S2... iykyk)

ARGH SPEAKING OF CHARACTERS, AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY LIVES UP TO THEIR DYNAMIC DUDE... I love them as a duo and I love them as respective individuals!! They absolutely carried the show and did well as the two main leads, they are so so enjoyable and I loved every single screentime they had. Their bond is like?? so goddamn good??? so goddamn tasty?!?! Like you can simply feel the amount of care they have for each other even at times where it is not stated in front of you and how much they just. work so well with each other and I AM SO SICK OF THOSE TWO!!!! (/aff)

Also the Ineffable Husbands are such queerplatonic fruits to me and I absolutely fucking love that along with the fact that I am not alone on this train. They are literally qpr soulmates guys, it takes one to know one so listen to me listen to me—

But that is a discussion for another day ☝🏼💡

Ahem. anyways. THE INTERPRETATIONS!!! Heaven and Hell, the angel and the demons, The Four Horsemen— you name it dude. I just love how this show interpreted some of these things? I'm not going to spoil it for you just in case, but for example, The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse... I liked how the show portrayed them, Pollution was my personal favorite.

I AM YAPPING... I'M SO SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE MY GOOD OMENS REVIEW ON YOUR ASK JSDBDJ

But simple TLDR: Good Omens is a good show!

Or at least in my opinion, to each their own! I personally found it rather charming and would definitely rewatch till I get bored of it. Would I recommend it to other people? Yes, actually! I'd tell you to give this silly little series a chance. I can't promise that you'd enjoy it 100% since, well, everyone has their own tastes. But I sure do hope it will at least entertain you positively.

If you've been here a while, you may remember the time i made up a waluigi game even though nobody asked. Well, in honor of waluigi's 24th birthday, and once again at the request of nobody, I have taken it upon myself to expand upon this concept. Allow me to enter fantendo mode:

Double Agent Waluigi is an upcoming* game for the Nintendo Waa. In this stealth game, you control Waluigi as he sneaks, slithers, and stumbles his way around secret bases and underwater hideouts.

*no it's not

Agent 00Γ ("double-oh wah", if you want) is not actually a secret agent. He stumbled upon the MI6 (Mushroom Intelligence, Section 6) by accident and everyone just assumed he was supposed to be there. His main goal is to be convincing enough that nobody calls his bluff...which is easier said than done.

The MI6 is helmed by the mysterious W, an old Toad who's surprisingly jovial for his line of work. W is Waluigi's- er, Agent 00Γ's one-stop shop for mission directives, crazy gadgets, and bad jokes. Nobody knows what the W stands for, but it's fine!

According to W, the MI6 has its sights on the Pearl of Wisdom, hidden within the World's Oyster deep beneath the ocean. Legend has it that this Pearl can impart great power upon whoever can find the oyster...but nobody actually knows where it went. W really wants you to retrieve it for safekeeping, lest it end up in the wrong hands...

...because Dr. Stevro Podd has about eight of those, and he'd really like to get them on that Pearl. A criminal mastermind and quite the slippery fellow, Dr. Podd has been able to evade the MI6's prying eyes for quite some time. His underwater base is pretty impervious to spies...unless you happen to be a long, purple idiot. Of course, Waluigi's cover is blown almost immediately, but because he's not actually a Mushroom Kingdom spy, Dr. Podd has no idea who he is or what he's about. But since he's here, Dr. Podd has a job opening he can't refuse...

...Thus begins the real plot of Double Agent Waluigi. Now, our favorite double-dealer has to collect clues about the Pearl of Wisdom for both W and Dr. Podd, and make sure that neither of them figure out his treacherous secret(s). Can he do it?? We'll find out...!

Of course, Dr. Podd isn't the only fishy figure he'll have to deal with. The octopodal doc has a smorgasbord of minions at his disposal, including the shocking Eelectra and the overeager Klaus. Would be a shame if you had to fight them...oh, and you know that guy has a man-eating piranha tank, so watch out for that too.

By the way, remember W? He seemed like a pretty chill guy. It's a good thing we can trust him to take care of the Pearl of Wisdom when we get it for him!

...Oh. Nevermind.

YOUR STRENGTHS v/s WEAKNESS

Pick a pile↓

Welcome back to crystalandbow 🤍 I hope y'all are doing great! Today let us dive into your greatest strengths and weaknesses. Pick a pile intuitively and check the corresponding message!

This is a general reading, only take what resonates :)

What pile are you choosing? Do let me know!

PILE 1 -

Everything In Time

Strength: I think your biggest strength is resilience in the face of adversity. Despite experiencing setbacks and betrayals, you possess the ability to rise above them. You refuse to let past failures define you instead you use them as lessons to fuel your growth and determination. Your strength lies in emerging stronger on the other side. You understand that setbacks are temporary and believe in your power to shape your own destiny, no matter the odds against you. you know when to disconnect. You guard yourself well & you always try to protect your peace and the moment you feel something is fishy you try to leave the situation asap. You cut off people if they don't vibe with you anymore. "Moving on" is a word that I picked up on, it could suggest that you are always trying to move on, (in a sense of growing) like leave behind things that don't serve / match with you anymore.

Weakness: you have a tendency to be overwhelmed by worry and anxiety. You may struggle to manage your fears, allowing them to cloud your judgment and hinder your ability to move forward. You might need to work on finding healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing with stress and uncertainty. You might also tend to give up soon? Or even have trouble falling asleep because of those constant thoughts. Also mental instability/ lack of "peace"maybe?

PILE 2-

Better Is Coming

Strength: omg the way you just carry yourself 😭 your fierce eyes, your personna, your hair everything about you screams professionalism. you possess the intellectual prowess, communication skills, and ethical integrity necessary to navigate challenges successfully and lead others with confidence and wisdom. You believe in the principles of justice and fairness and make decisions from your brain rather than the heart. Your leadership can be characterized by discipline.the way you express yourself with honesty and precision helps you earn trust and credibility from those around you. Great speakers/diplomats/ presenters also good for politics honestly.

Weakness: fear of change or fear of the unknown. You have a deep seated fear or resistance towards change and transformation. You might find yourself clinging to the familiar/known, even if it no longer serves you well, out of a sense of discomfort or uncertainty about what lies ahead.confront your fears and resistance towards change, allow yourself to embrace the natural cycles of life and trust in the process of transformation instead of viewing it as something to be afraid of or to avoid, see it as a catalyst for personal growth and evolution. You will unlock something special

PILE 3-

Choose What Chooses You

Strength: you have the ability to draw upon the wisdom of the past, whether through religious or spiritual teachings, cultural customs, or personal philosophies. you are a natural leader and mentor, capable of guiding others on their spiritual or moral journey. You offer support, wisdom, and guidance to those who seek it or you like to gain wisdom, inspiration and guidance from your role models and teachers. You listen to your intuition and have a sense of profound understanding of spiritual truths, which serve as a source of inspiration and guidance in your life. Your ability to tap into this higher knowledge empowers you to lead others with wisdom and compassion, offering support and guidance along their spiritual journey.

Weakness: Impulsivity and haste in your actions and decision-making process! You may feel a strong urge to rush into situations without fully considering the consequences, driven by a desire for quick results or a need to assert your dominance. This impulsiveness can lead to a lack of foresight, where you fail to assess potential risks or take into account the feelings and perspectives of others involved. Your eagerness to charge forward with single-minded determination may blind you to important details or alternative viewpoints.You may find yourself easily triggered by perceived obstacles or challenges.

PILE 4-

Enjoy The Now

Strength: a boundless enthusiasm and passion for exploring new ideas, projects, and opportunities! You are absolutely unafraid to step outside of your comfort zone and pursue your dreams with determination and zest.You have the drive and confidence to take bold action and seize opportunities as they arise. Your willingness to follow your instincts and trust in your creative intuition enables you to break through barriers and overcome obstacles on your path to success. You have a natural talent for innovation and originality/ thinking outside the box.

trust in your abilities to manifest your desires and achieve your goals!

Weakness: imbalance in nurturing and caring for oneself versus others! While it's essential to attend to practical matters and provide for your needs, neglecting your emotional or spiritual well-being can lead to feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction. It is important for you to cultivate a more balanced approach to life that honors both practical concerns and deeper emotional fulfillment. Practice mindfulness & / or self-reflection to identify areas where you may be overly fixated on material possessions or security, and explore ways to nurture your emotional and spiritual well-being. Seek out for opportunities for growth and personal development. By adapting a more holistic sense of abundance and security, you can overcome these limitations that lead you to feel unfulfilled despite the goodness around you.

Has anybody even bothered to ask you what your favorite brand of soy sauce is yet?

Right now it's Yamaroku tsuru bishio! This was a gift from @runovaris !

Fun fact that if you don't start using I'll hunt you down and transfix your mortal coil: When you eat sushi/sashimi/nigiri, never ever ever ever fucking dip the thing directly into soy sauce. I'll make your ribcage into a beehive if I catch any of you fuckers pulling that.

INSTEAD, take a slice of the ginger you get with it (and if you didn't receive ginger/wasabi with it. don't fucking eat it. 0 trust), dip That in the soy sauce, and then use it to brush some soy sauce over the delicious fishy piece. You only ever want to brush over either the fish itself or the nori if you're eating a Maki roll type deal.

Also some courtesy for when you're eating at like, a dedicated fancy sushi place:

1. Always eat the first piece w/o any additions. Sushi chefs are fucking insane with how much care is put into each piece when they're doing it right, and so treat it like seasoning a dish you haven't even tasted yet.

2. It is TECHNICALLY considered sorta weird if you don't use the Wasabi offered. However. If you are some sort of slanderous villainous heathen who cannot stand Wasabi, like me, I'm gonna give you a cheat code when you're eating at this fancy sushi restaurant with friends who might tease you for not liking wasabi.

What you should do is take a tiiiiiny smidgen of Wasabi and mix it into a dipping bowl of soy sauce. And you can explain to your friends how this will add a delicious hint of Wasabi heat to the soy sauce, and how they should all try it, and btw did you know about the ginger brush thing?, and by the time everyone is so impressed by your wisdom of Authentic SushiTM because of, frankly if we are being real here, a bit of Orientalism but only a bit, no one will have realized that you never actually used that Wasabi soy sauce yourself and have no intent to, free to nod and smile along and act as a sane individual.

And anyway most Wasabi you'll get is just glorified horse radish. So there.

[evolutionsvoid]

There is no denying the violations that have been done to this world, how else can a land of plenty be stripped down to the bone? The ages of prosperity made it seem like the riches would never cease, that there was always more to be dug up or sucked from the earthen flesh. Temperance was preached, but never followed. And after decades of endless wealth, the wells have run dry, and the bountiful corpses of the buried past now are nothing more than empty husks. What riches were wasted in these good times, leaving only scraps to be fought over. Now as the war rages on and the people of the world struggle to get by, what little remains is still being ravaged and hoarded. Even the sea, in its endless bounties and offerings, seems emptier than usual, the journeys for blubber and oil going further and further to find the leviathans. We have devoured all that we can find in our own homes, and now raid others to feed our ceaseless hunger. After all we have taken from the deep, is it any surprise that some that ascend bear arms?

The armored fishy beings that dance through the shallows and slither upon the shore have gained the title of "Knights," what with their plated upper bodies and consistent use of weaponry. Like any denizen of below, they seem to appear without warning or fanfare, simply appearing from the water as if they had been there the whole time. But these fish folk do not come bearing words of wisdom or carvings of ambergris. Instead, they lurk in the waters or wait upon the sandy shores like silent guards, waiting for the signs of greed and violence. Fishermen with bulging nets or voracious traps have found their equipment shredded and their boats under attack. Whaling ships that have targeted any and every living beast in its path have witnessed these strange beasts climbing the hulls and assaulting the decks. Even those walking upon shore, raiding nests and sleeping colonies can discover spears of abyssal bone leaping for their flesh. Some of their reasons are obvious, clearly the Knights target those who would take everything the sea has to offer, and yet sometimes they lash out at seemingly random. Is there a reason that we do not understand, or have these individuals concluded that the people of the dry world are all guilty of this avarice?

Some have found these Knights with no aggression or judgment towards them. They may see them slip past their boats without a fuss, or basking in odd positions on the shores with no sign of anger. Have they found these few folk free of sin, or worthy of peace? Or do they see a kinship within some people, a part of our very essence that we still do not understand? We know that there are individuals who find themselves drawn to the sea, enamored with the abyss. Perhaps these Knights can see a fellow and know to stand down. Or maybe it is simply that many of these encounters mention a lack of weapons in the hands of the observer, causing the Knight to see they mean no harm. If that is the case, than one would think it easy to win their favor, simply divest yourself of your arms. But remember what world we live in now, and the dangers throughout. Walking without a weapon may save you from the Knights, but there are plenty of other horrid deaths eager to claim you in their place.

In recent years, the sightings of these Knights has increased, no doubt rising with the madness that consumes these lands. It is said that pods of them can be spotted in places where atrocities to the sea have occurred. Lingering warriors mourning over a great loss, and waiting to ensure that this affront never happens again. More boats have been attacked, more deaths upon the shores. There is a great peace found in the abyss, and many denizens exhibit mercy and compassion. Yet, as these Knights appear more and more, as well as other aggressors of the sea, one must wonder if we are stripping away this kindness as well? How patient can they be when faced with our endless war and stealing? When do they realize that many wise words fall upon deaf ears? Many pray that this day does not come, and they give offerings back to the sea to remind the ones below that goodness still remains on these shores. We can only hope that they see these gifts and hear our pleas, for the land has already forsaken us, and if we are to lose the sea as well, who else would take us?

[lonksadventures]

Hello it is I, the simp (platonically) for your fishy warlock man in the reblogs. I just wanted to say I love him. The art? Gorgeous. The character design? Stunning. Me? Asking for his hand in marriage. Me again? Also asking to pet the dragon/serpent please. I want his gender and also to hold his hand.

Um so I don't know if you have spoken about him on your blog or if you want to but if you have any information to share I would like to listen :]

OKAY anyway I hope you have a wonderful day and I look forward to hopefully more fishy boy content but also just any of your art!!

HI IM GLAD YOU LIKE HIM!! He’s from a pirate dnd campaign I play with friends :D

Oh boy time to talk about Len lore. SO Len, or Laurelen, is a fathomless warlock with amnesia who knows absolutely nothing about his past life except that he’s pretty sure the the fishy parts and scales weren’t always there. He kinda washed up on a beach and was found by an old lady who taught him how to speak common, walk around on land and how trying to bite people is considered rude. And then the party kinda kidnapped him because pirates and shenanigans happened.

Currently in the campaign he’s learned that he is in fact a warlock, and while he doesn’t know the details of his pact, knows that he’s basically merged with an ancient sea monster (also called Laurelen hmmmm) and isn’t supposed to be mucking about on land in his current incomplete form. His “patron” (said ancient sea monster) is kinda stuck as a spectral sea serpent thing that only he can see and likes to spout super helpful wisdom like “jump in the water” and “eat raw seaweed”. He is a bastard and can sometimes possess Len's body much to the concern of the party. He has been dubbed Ghost and/or the Ghost Noodle and we hate him. Len is very much against becoming a whole ass sea monster and probably losing what little piece of his mind he still had left, so is ignoring everything Ghost says and instead is focusing on trying to recover his memories and finding a way to separate his and Ghosts souls that are kinda intertwined.

When the campaign started he was a very wholesome lad with no idea what was going on but, after some time at sea with the rest of our problematic party and a spectral noodle that scream in his ear, he's learned to be more guarded with his feelings and even learned some swear words! Man is actually pretty good in a fight if you disregard his dumbass demeanour. Though he is currently struggling a bit with the morality of killing people and generally being a pirate now but he’s fiiiine. He’s very self conscious about his appearance and knows all the scales and teeth scare people so he tends to hide them with bandages and baggy clothes. (His green eye constantly looks like a swirling kaleidoscope so he tries to cover it usually)

Fun facts about Len include:

Despite having gills and being a literal fish man he is scared of the ocean/swimming and due to fun patron curse shenanigans seems to pass out in a barrel full of salt water or more. (Yes we did test how much salt water it took we were really bored).

Being able to eat a whole seagull (he was possessed at the time it doesn’t count).

Having way too many teeth.

Assuming most animals after a form of cat.

AND FINALLY is wanted by the navy for having generally bad vibes and also being a pirate I guess.

ALSO DO NOT PET THE SERPENT that is Ghost and he deserves nothing. All he does is scream and be a little shit. Also I did not convey this well in my most recent art but he is way more horrifying in the campaign and also is just full of teeth. Moray eel combined with a sea snake but worse. And no one but Len can see him! :D

Please enjoy some of the many doodles I’ve accumulated of this man over the campaign (the “human” version was him using disguise self and trying to guess what he’d look like without scales)

Healer Playbooks

Healers take care of the clan, they often stay behind within the clan territory, collecting herbs and treating other cats' illnesses or wounds. They aren’t necessarily fighters, but have minor training in self-defense to ensure they can protect themselves in an emergency. Healers are highly esteemed for their medical proficiency and connection to Star Clan. Once a cat decides to be a Healer, their lives are devoted to Star Clan. They forgo romantic relationships and having offspring, choosing to see their fellow clan members as siblings and children.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Herbalist

These cats don't necessarily need all the bells and whistles that come along with being the clan’s healer. They’re happy specializing in herbs, and medicine. Despite this simple path, the clan Herbalist shouldn't be underestimated. Their expertise could mean the difference between life and death. This cat works quickly on their paws, ultimately being the best healing class you could go for. Often these cats are intelligent, observant, and quick.  

Add +2 Intelligence to Ability Score. 

Add +2 in Smell, +1 in Medicine, and +1 in Focus Skills.

Knacks: 

Herb Lore

(1 intelligence chip.) 

An Herbalist knows any herb within their clan territory. When encountering a plant outside of the clan, they may roll Intelligence + Medicine check to discover its name and properties. 

Star Clan’s Wisdom

(1 Spirit Chip.)

This Knack may only be thrice once per long rest.

Star Clan’s Wisdom fills your cat with guidance and relief. This Knack gives your cat, or any ally advantage on any intelligence based skill roles. 

Adrenaline Boost

(2 Strength Chips.)

Herbalists can create a plant based concoction that provides a temporary 2d6 to any cat’s Strength die pool.

Savior

(3 Spirit Chips.)

Your cat prevents another from dying, essentially giving the player a second chance at rolling their death saves. If successful, this does not awaken the cat and their Harm will go from Fading to Severe. This can only be used once per-day. 

Recover

(3 Spirit Chips.)

Your cat gives themselves or an ally an herb that works like a Cat Nap, rejuvenating half the chips they lost.

______________________________________________________________

Ritualist

Although they may not possess the abilities of a Stoneteller, Ritualists reach Star Clan through more physical means. Performing offerings, casting stones, and carefully arranging insects, they can connect with spirits and even bring about miracles. Ritualists often entertain cats who ask about their destiny and fate. Holding séances, and observing their surroundings for signs or prophecies to give answers and theories regarding others' lives. Due to their strange or eccentric nature, it can be easy to brush off their signs as meaningless guesswork. These cats are often strange, confident, and paranoid. 

Add +2 Spirit to Ability Score. 

Add +2 in Faith, +1 in Jump, and +1 in Arch Skills. 

Knacks: 

Omen

(1 Spirit Chip.)

The Omen Knack ensures your cat will get some sort of physical sign. Roll a 1d6 to determine how clear or vague the sign is. 6 being the clearest, and 1 being the vaguest. 

Mimicry 

(1 Spirit Chip.)

Your cat perfectly recreates the meow of another, their voice sounding hauntingly unlike their own. The Mimicry Knack allows a cat to imitate the voice of another cat, or animal. This can be used to trick others. 

Fortune Teller

(2 Spirit Chips.) 

The Fortune Teller Knack involves a set of carved stones, shells, or sticks. The Ritualist tosses them and they infer the answer to a cat’s question regarding their future, love life, death, or luck. Roll a 1d6 to determine how accurate the fortune is. 6 being the clearest, and 1 being the vaguest.

Twitchy Tail

(2 Spirit Chips.)

Something fishy is afoot, your cat knows it, its tail whips and quivers in anticipation. Twitchy Tail allows your cat to anticipate ambushes, impending natural disasters, or worse. This knack should be during a dangerous mission or journey. A Twitchy Tail helps your cat warn allies that danger is nearby, and everyone should move with caution or prepare for action.

Spirit Speaker

(3 Spirit Chips.) 

Your cat must gather 3 moths and a dried lily.  From there they may speak a summoning call, the words of this call are left up to the player. Once complete, a dead creature may speak through your cat. Your cat must make a Strength + Faith roll after every answer (DC 3). Once failed, the ritual will end.

______________________________________________________________

Nightshade

While some healers avoid using poisons, Nightshades are well-versed in the effects and antidotes of poisonous herbs. What these cats do with their knowledge could be ruthless, a quiet slip of death berries in someone’s fresh kill, the dousing of nightshade on their claws, could end anyone’s life in an instant. However, Nightshades use their expertise to protect their clan and medicine supply. While they may seem intimidating, they are simply skilled fighters with the ultimate goal of protecting their clan. These cats are calculated, sneaky, and scary. 

Add +2 Strength to Ability Score.

Add +2 in Endurance, and +1 in Sneak, and +1 in Wrestle Skills.

Knacks: 

Poison Lore

(1 Intelligence Chip.)

Nightshades have a great deal of knowledge around poisonous herbs and berries. They understand their various effects and how deadly they are. If interacting with an unknown plant, the cat must make an Intelligence + Ponder check, with advantage, to determine its name and properties. The difficulty of the roll is determined by the Narrator, as some poisons may be more elusive than others. 

Antidote

(2 Intelligence Chips.) 

Thanks to your cat’s knowledge on poison, they have an instinctive grasp on what herbs can remedy poison. A cat may be able to reduce the spread of poison if they can act fast enough. Your cat must make a Spirit + Focus check with advantage to see if they can deliver the antidote in time. 

Night Claw

(3 Intelligence Chips.)

Your cat carefully coats their claws with nightshade, making their claws deadly.  The poison may be applied to your cat or another’s claws. This gives a 1d6 bonus to any claw based attack, and the damaged foe takes 1 Harm at the start of their turn until dead or healed. 

Fear

(3 Spirit Chips.)Your cat tosses out spores or dust of a hallucinogenic plant onto enemies. Quickly they find themselves going mad with terror, screaming and running from things that aren’t there. When the Fear Knack is used, enemies must make a DC 4 Intelligence + Focus check to avoid succumbing to their delusions. If failed, they will run from the fight, if succeeded they will face disadvantage on their skill checks.

A bored friend? no that shouldn't stand!

How has your fishy dnd boi been holding up

So so glad you asked

So last official session ended with him and another party member sobbing on the ground bc perci my fishy guy got downed again! Great times

We had an unofficial session the other night bc officially we just woke up the next morning after off camera going to a hotel (I got healed after getting downed but not by much), which was really fun bc we just did the off camera stuff, we went to interdimensional dennys and spilled our metaphorical guts out to eachother, I got huge character lore from another player and got to spill some huge character lore myself, got to talk about percis last party and be angsty which was great, found out officially that the pacifist of the party has mass killed before (he’s from a war torn land this was kind of expected), we got the mystery meal and got served assorted foods including: a bowl of tree nuts, pancakes and hash browns, a magic 8 ball, flies suspended in jello, and the water of life from dune, so that was certainly eventful and incredibly funny, the waiter would randomly interrupt us spilling our guts and it was funny, wynnstan almost awakened the great evil in the bathroom, eventually we left the interdimensional dennys and went and found a hotel, where I got my wounds stitched up after getting downed and got to reveal some scar lore and things, had to borrow a shirt from the other party member bc mine got torn up, and then we did sleepover questions (my party always does sleepover questions bc we always share a hotel room usually)- side note funny note we learned (/j) that hotel rooms can have more than one bed and 3 of our party members don’t need to sleep on the floor so we were living a life of luxury, and then in character I called my sister and talked to her some, told her I think I’m going to stick with this party, and then went to bed!

Very eventful but very good unofficial session, the real dm is going to be so confused when we make references to this and to the octopus man in the dennys, words of wisdom about my fish from this guy were “you have lived a long life for someone of only 22 years”

Bestie I have been suspecting Sunday to be the traitor the whole time but then *spoiler* it got reveled that he didn’t kill his sister and I’m confused (it didn’t fit his personality to kill her but something is so so so fishy about him and he is def an emanator) r u telling me he is actually the traitor and my hunch was right? (Just a traitor in a different way) Then who is mister sister-killer if not the traitor? ;-; (Maybe he is just playing the villain and killing ppl to show them the deeper world inside the dream and find Mikhail? That’s why he was labeled as a ‘traitor’ while no one knows the actual ‘traitor’ is Sunday for worshipping a god that was supposed to be absorbed? Are these two ‘traitors’ unrelated and just happen to be mixed into ppl thinking it’s one person while it’s two (or not knowing about Sunday at all) or are these cases interconnected in some way?) also Gallagher mentioned that the traitor is someone high up from the Oak family, was he referring to Sunday or was he trying to confuse us? Is Gallagher saying he is 13 a reference to him not being real and just some kind of artificial dream manifestation (bcs of Mikhail’s death) or was it his try at a joke. Please grace me with your knowledge I can’t sleep I need to know.

I hope my message makes sense. Here, have a meme as a payment for your wisdom. Also, I really enjoy reading about the lore you find in hsr and your theories!

basically the killer isnt the traitor but like yes he is he’s a different one cuz he’s betraying the family for Mikhail and sunday is betraying Xipe for Ena but i also dont think sunday intentionally did so or did so with malicious intent. i think the influence of ena along with the death of robin has made him more suspicious and controlling out of paranoia. maybe robin’s death (or what caused robin to leave penacony in the first place) caused him to start losing faith in xipe and ena managed to get a hold on him from within there. im not even sure he KNOWS he’s leaned so much into them since they’re just a part of xipe now. and so i dont think he even considers himself a traitor rn, as far as he thinks he’s still very loyal to xipe.

the killer saying he’s Thirteen has been assumed to be a reference to the 13th major arcana in tarot cards, which is Death. but it also does seem like he was just saying some silly shit. another theory people have is that he’s 13 decades old, since he was buddies with mikhail and all (unless he was being a little liar for fun. it’s hard to know what to trust about him now that it’s revealed that he’s a follower of the LIARS).

and thank you so much ^_^!!!!! i’m really glad i can show people things they may not have seen otherwise and spark some thought. finally my insistence on reading every single readable item in this game comes in handy…

& i would also bite sunday. but i would probably get my tongue stabbed by his wing spikes. awkward.

This is a totally random question, but, based on my strong suspicions, Tigerstar II definitely tells Cloverfoot his dad jokes at the most random times. Cloverfoot approached Tigerstar, seeking his wisdom on the matter of border patrol. "Where should I assign them?" Tigerstar replied, "Let's send them to the RiverClan border."

Cloverfoot nodded, "Alright, I'll see to that-" Tigerstar interrupted. "Do you know why?" he asked, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. Confused, Cloverfoot furrowed her brows and inquired, "Why?" Tigerstar II couldn't help but grin, knowing he had successfully set his trap. "Ah, Cloverfoot, I caught a whiff of something rather FISHY in that vicinity." Cloverfoot was left utterly speechless, her mind racing to process the revelation. It took her a few moments to gather her thoughts and fully comprehend what she had just heard. Also, Erin's Lightleap POV when? I've been waiting for goddamn TWO YEARS! I LOVE Sunbeam, but if she ends up as Bristlefrost in Books 4 and 5 of "The Broken Code," just being Nightheart's love interest, I'm going to need Lightleap to still her POV from her.... Or better yet.. kill Nigtheart and give it to her.

DSHAJDSAJKDASLJK THAT'S SO CUTE! I have a personal similar headcanon that Tigerheartstar runs his jokes past Dovewing before they go to bed. She has a similar sense of humor so she thinks they're all hilarious lol

and REAL. I really like Lightleap, I'm sad how quickly her whole reckless plot was dropped in favor of the love triangle thing. I found her struggle super interesting, at least glad she and Sunbeam made up. As for Sunbeam, I have a hunch they'll be taking her a different route than that from the leaks (but I'll keep my mouth shut here), hoping for the best since she's really fun to see bounce off the other TC cats when Nightheart is gone.

Cw: doctors

Just had two of my three wisdom teeth removed! It was quick and rather painless and I was very brave, the dentists were very nice too! And there are fishies in da waiting room :>

[undiscovered-horizon]

oh goshhh i just wanted to drop by and say- wow you're a fantastic writer! your Sandman fics drew me to your account, and i just finished reading your Pillars of Eternity fic duo- and wow i am speechless. i cant even begin to say just how well thought out the fic is, and how alive it really feels! wisdom is such a cool character, (and profoundly interesting), so is every other character we meet. im rooting for morpheus and wisdom too. thanks op!! <33 ur a wonderful writer!

I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying Pillars of Eternity! At first, I wasn't sure whether it would be welcomed because of the sheer amount of original lore I'm packing in there, so it's absolutely wonderful to learn that the truth is quite the opposite.

I'd like to take this chance and do a small sneak peek/announcement for the third instalment:

"Que sera, sera": A Sneak Peek ⬇️

"Don't stare too long at the water. It's hard to say what will stare back."

Understanding the seriousness of your warning, Morpheus looked up, away from the murky ocean but then his stare lay on something equally suspicious and thought-provoking: a black, slimy rock protruding from the indigo waters. As far as an eye could see, there was nothing resembling land. At first, the formation looked completely inconspicuous and perhaps that’s exactly why Dream’s gaze lingered on this black lump of slime - it was a little too unobtrusive.

Then, a yellow, fishy eye appeared on the surface of what Morpheus had assumed was a rock. A black rhomboid pupil stared at the Lord of Dreams with animalistic blankness as though the sea monster had the privilege of never entertaining even a single thought. Considering the distance between the yellow ocular and the boat, the eyeball itself must have been around Dream’s height in diameter. Morpheus felt a delicate shiver travelling down his spine: if that was only the eye, how big was its owner?

“Good day to you too, Charon,” you called out to the monstrum.

The beast let out a whale-like whine, then a low grumble before slowly submerging. Its yellow eye continued to stalk the floating boat.

“That is Charon?” Morpheus asked with a sense of wonder in his voice.

// // // // // // //

"Why haven't you asked Aether?"

The old man shook his head in a defeated manner. He let out a tired sigh before answering. "Wherever she goes, Abyss follows. I'm afraid she wouldn't quite understand this loneliness."

You raised your eyebrows at the bold implication. "Should I?"

Time’s steel eyes stared at you with a mildness that befits only people of very old age. His calloused hand scratched his pearly white beard. "Only you can answer that,” he stated with a certain disinterest in his voice as though you had just asked him a question he could never even begin to formulate a response to.

I just wanted to ramble a little and say I really love your writing! I ramble, this ask may seem a little long, but it's all adoration I promise! Please don't be unnerved by the length!

I just found your fic "Pisces Caelestis" today and I caught up to your latest chapter. Honestly I was minutes away from being late to leaving for work, because I was that absorbed in your story and at that point I was only on chapter 8. If it wasn't for my work ethic, honest to the stars above, I would have called out to keep reading uninterrupted 😅 Of course, I couldn't put it down even when I got to work. (Night time security guard here lol) Between taking care of people and reading, the last few chapters took me about two and a half hours to get through. But honestly, I think I've been grinning like a doofus just about 90% of the time. I think the only ten percent left was when you tossed my heart to the fishies when the reader or boys became upset. Veeery good at giving my heart the good ol' squeeze like my heart is being strangled out of me. Very tasteful ✨👌

I love how you've been able to include the other FNAF characters in your story. And like I commented on AO3 the few chapters back, I loved the touch again to hinting at Chica's Latino heritage with the mention of her hair. Again, so many people I think. Play her off as occasion that the idea of it being different is just a stunner, and honestly I think she would look very cute with bleached blonde hair. And again, no way and heck did I expect her to be the crazy dog lady. How you incorporated "Cupcake" with her is just ✨golden✨ I haven't read many DCA fics, but I think this is the first one I've seen with Chica and her cupcake and I loved that touch. Also, I'm with the townspeople in shipping her with Roxy, they sound like an adorable pair together.

You've given our Superstar favorite dad Freddy his little boy which made me smile. I love to be exasperation from the readers playful jab/ threat to helping the boy get a hamster for class. He's a real sweetheart and his words of wisdom are much more appreciated than what YN was given as a child. I get the whole "why worry about it?" motif, but to a child they need better ways to cope. To understand their feelings and when young (especially when young actually) I think it's important for someone to be heard. YN getting that now from Freddy is heartwarming. He really shows attentiveness and makes me wonder if he knew YN when they were younger. Maybe not knowing the full picture of what their life was like as a child. But when you see a child neglected or misbehaved, I know people could probably wish that they could give words of advice. But not wanting to step on a parent's toes just, can't. To think he's wanting to give YN what they couldn't have when younger is really heartwarming, you really show he gives the best advice and hugs. And sometimes a hug or just a willingness to listen as all a person needs. You did really great showing that ❤️

Hearing Roxy have scars and a partial disability was appreciated. You didn't play down her blindness or scars, in actuality you showed that people could be proud for what they've lived through. She doesn't let people minimize her experience and doesn't let her past make up her current personality. And no way are her feelings for Chica just a crush If she's willing to face her trauma of being around six dogs just to see (her crush/girlfriend/ future wife-y) Chica. But dang is that some intense exposure therapy, that's gotta be a bit emotionally taxing. I hope if/when she has the courage to tell Chica about it that it goes well. She doesn't wanna jar Chica or maybe make her feel guilty, and she's obviously doing great if they're spending time together. Unless, when reader had reached out to Chica to get Roxy's number, she was at Roxy's house instead of Chica's. Either way, I hope both girls figure it out.

And Monty? Being a rebel? Who is surprised, but it still makes me smile. I'm curious if he kept the sea glass YN found to trade. Like in a drawer or something. Even when someone seems like a rebel, I feel like for most people if a child gets attached to you and gives you items even if for trade, you still try and hold on to them because I think it would make someone smile when they look back on it. I wouldn't blame him if he got rid of the sea glass, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in his house or around his house he had it. And it makes me smile at the thought of it. I'm curious about when he'll pop up again in the story. Would he'll have a bigger frame like security breach Monty, or if he would be more on the linky side. I could see him riding dirt bikes, yet can still find a way to make it rebellious. Even if the town turns a blind eye, it still made me laugh.

I relate to your YN greatly~ When are chores ever fun? Their independence is evident and I think a lotta people can relate to ✨emotional constipation✨ As YN was getting gifts and feeling bad a little bad at the idea that the boys were feeling pressured to give. I was already thinking just give them something in return like an exchange. When they finally did it, it made me laugh and say "Finally! So glad they figured that out!" aloud, and it made me glad I live alone because that would have been embarrassing for someone else to overhear. Only to hear that frustrated Moon, I felt bad, But how are we to know if they didn't tell? I'm glad Sun continued because he was happy seeing YN smile. YN also did better with the shirt slashing in the latest chapter. I think I'd still be deep/close to a PTSD that if he slashed his claws at me I'd probably be fighting emotional/mental barriers that would have gone up in feeling further unwanted. They really do need time to recover. I'm glad they know instinctually their reactions are valid, but their fortitude to press on to keep from stunting themselves or losing precious new seafriends is admirable.

It was rude of Moon to try and (kinda) traumatize Sun for what they had done. I mean, valid, in a way they care for YN enough to where he feels the only logical reaction would be to give them space/ keep them safe from them. But I'm glad/hopeful YN's reaction to Moon literally in a way wagging his finger in their face, showed they can stand on their own/aren't made of glass. His lisp is adorable and I think it would be hard to not just want to hear him talk to hear it again. Being scolded by Sun for emotionally hurting YN was needed. But still a hilarious mental image of Sun wrangling Moon if it meant helping clear up the misunderstanding and help YN be happy again.

And Sun, stars above, Sun. Can he get any more precious (not meant to be a challenge! Cause the stars above know how many times you made my heart melt into a puddle from him)? He's playful, he teases, he understood exaggerating expressions and his delight knowing that playfulness got YN to laugh was just too precious to read. I think I had to reread those chapters about three or four times before I could will myself to move on and keep reading. Sweetest fish, I think I was rolling on my couch a few times when he was just being a sweetpea. He shared his blueberries with YN, he grasped what coins/money was in hopes it would help YN. Also wondering if he understands the value of gold? He didn't just give a single coin, and Having already discussed the value of gold corns with my mom a couple months back. He has an older currency, probably more pure and just being older is something. No kidding that he literally helped provide. His pet names are precious and he just seems so stupidly sweet that repeatedly I wanted to hug him. You made a precious boy and each time there has been fluff you've made my heart melt. I'm so glad YN and the boys are starting to interact, You probably have an idea about it, but I'm still going to say it is such a relief when they finally got to speak to each other/ start to interact. Rocky star with Moon, but I'm glad Sun took things in stride when YN opened up to explaining their insecurities involving Moon. To help mediate and translate, to grasp when YN needed help being grounded and helped give emotional support from the physical contact. So so so so stupidly precious that I was repeatedly at a loss for words.

I loves all of this. My dejected exclamation in finding out I got caught up felt/ was to be expected. Your writing was so great, I really really loved all of this. I'm so glad I found your work and I look forward to how it progresses. You just moved into your own home (CONGRATS! 🎊) So I hope you give yourself a break, take things and stride. Try not to face burnout, It's okay if you have days where you don't do anything. Sometimes just getting to tomorrow is enough. Thank you again for your time (sorry for rambling a bit) and I hope you have a good rest of your day. May creativity and inspiration stay by your side ❤️

AAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you this is so nice I wanna print it out and eat it 💜💜💜
