#for how to incorporate the lore in this

[dork-a-doodle]

Animal Talent!Scar and his trusty steed, Jellie the cat!

Also I wanted to infodump about the ConVex in this AU:

Fairies become Vexes when directly exposed to large amounts of corrupted magic which changes them both physically and mentally, making them vicious and blood thirsty

The process is reversible, but requires restraining the Vex which can be quite the challenge. And even when cured, the Vex magic will leave permanent changes to the fairy’s body, like lingering blue pigmentation, slightly sharpened teeth and altered wing shape

Neither Cub nor Scar will tell anyone how exactly they managed to expose themselves to enough corrupted magic to get turned into Vexes

But based on the faces they make when asked, it probably happened because they were doing something very, very stupid.

something i really love about isat is that it's very aware of mental health problems and what one should/probably shouldn't do in their relationships with others, but it never regresses its character dialogue into therapyspeak. they all talk like people. they approach topics like they're fully formed people who have their own way of saying things and don't need a mindful buzzword to get their idea across. and the way it talks about these things is so masterfully woven into dialogue beats!! like!!

okay. take mira's "we reserve the right to be mad about it still later" dialogue. normally you'd think "oh so this is how everyone is going to react, this is going to be the Correct way to react" but it's IMMEDIATELY followed up with each character giving their own unique take on the matter, leading up to a joke about bonnie not understanding the situation. ISAT is a lesson, yes, but it also lets its characters be characters. and it incorporates its ideas and philosophies so well to the point where it never feels like pandering or saying it just to say it. CHARACTERIZATION, BABY!!!! IT'S GOOD!!!!

Meet Brick, Id, and Loot; Aka, the spawns

I based them off the three calamity gems from Amphibia. Basically, Bill created himself some pets in order to double his strength when he uses them in a magic fight, and also because he wanted a pet or three.

They’re his scrumbly babbykins and he will kill for them. (But don’t ask him to die for them. Man’s got limits)

Why did Odysseus trust the Siren?

I don't remember who it was, but I watched someone react to the siren giving directions to Odysseus during Suffering and questioned why would he believe her- for all he knew, she could have been tricking him about that too. So, in the Odyssey this was mentioned:

No one ever sailed past us without staying to hear the enchanting sweetness of our song- and he who listens will go on his way not only charmed, but wiser, for we know all the ills that the gods laid upon the Argives and Trojans before Troy, and can tell you everything that is going to happen over the whole world.'

-Basically, they provide knowledge... but in exchange, you are lured to jump into watery death. That was why OG Odysseus wanted to listen to them in the first place (aside from clout of being the only one to survive from listening, I guess???).

✦ S A M U R A I

The katana is an unfamiliar weapon, its balance different from a gladiator’s sword or a red mage’s rapier. She has held one only once before, plucking it from Zenos’ cold hands atop the Royal Menagerie. But this time it speaks to her, its blade bleeding orange-red the moment she grips the hilt, burning with flames she can conjure without a second thought. She can fight with it. She can conquer the weapon of her enemy. She can make it her own. —level 90 compendium

I couldn't choose so Take Both

This doesn't make any sense does it, alright fine explanation under the cut

I really like the concept of Khonshu being the son of Amon-Ra, who has no shame in manipulating/insulting/setting Khonshu on fire. So imagine how he was when Ra was at the height of his power and they ruled together, but Khonshu was stronger. And also Ra likes to eat other gods.

I like the idea of even a dickbag god like Khonshu having unprocessed trauma after thousands of years, absolutely showing shades of his father while being in aggressive denial about this and viewing himself as his father's direct opposite, his antagonist, everything that he isn't. Cares about protecting humanity, kind and compassionate compared to Ra! (Because he isn't actively eating/setting them on fire/acting like a tyrant. Usually.) That he's fought Ra personally and through avatars a hundred times over the ages, burned more times than he can count, it hurts, but he has to come out on top every time. No phoenix rose from these ashes.

Vegetta heard that some members of the server are scared of him and he was like "Why? I'm not even a tryhard, I was the last person to get slime armor" and I'm like... Vegetta people are already scared of you, WHY would you respond to that with "But this isn't even 1% of my true power''

thinking about archivists again. below the cut: obscene amounts of brainrot in the form of a long-winded relationship study and oddly specific references to canon that may or may not be accurate

im trying to come up with some sort of au for them (writer's block and creative burnout is a BITCH it's okay though we stay silly) and there's just something about how qphil and qcellbit don't (or didn't) really wind up in each other's circles often. sure they were friendly with each other in passing, and they definitely had some nice little interactions earlier on: cellbit briefly interviewing phil on one of his first days on the island over a cup of coffee and solidifying phil's view of cellbit as the Dedicated Investigator; phil asking cellbit to babysit chayanne and tallulah while he's away on a trip and cellbit being more than happy to; phil briefly checking in with cellbit --- who was in the process of tumbling into his regret arc, cutting off ties with loved ones and making himself a martyr --- and asking if he was okay when phil spotted him hanging alone in the back of the group; chatting about the upcoming wedding and phil advising cellbit that he and roier should probably introduce some sort of dress code (lmao); cellbit watching phil and missa meet up for the first time in months on the way to the federation's people-freezers and all of the pieces rapidly falling into place (the name of phil's waystone, phil's skull backpack, phil's elusive "husband," ohhhhhhh...). they've always been in each other's peripheral, but never directly involved in each other's personal lives.

until the happy pills.

see the thing about archivists is that they're not drawn together by a pre-existing friendship; they're more friendly acquaintances at this point, perhaps almost-friends, though they're certainly not close. but then forever's life is under threat, and god, they both love forever immensely. with direct help from bad and indirect help from others (qpac you LEGEND), they're eventually able to formulate a plan that successfully drag forever out from under the haze of drugs, pull him to the surface. they sit next to each other as they sit at the bedside of their mutual friend, watch him breathing, and try to breathe themselves.

and from that moment on it's solidified: they know they can depend on each other, when shit hits the fan. they have their respective strengths, and they balance out each other nicely. i wish i had gotten more of a chance to watch their dynamic during purgatory 1 (unfortunately i have a life sadge) but from what i saw, they turned out to be some pretty good co-leaders, and an interesting dynamic at that: phil acting more as a support role (moral support, resource support, combat support, ALL the support) and stepping up into a leader-like role when needed, but ultimately letting cellbit take the helm a lot of the time since he's a strategist with more practice managing large groups of people (i wont get into it here, and i want to watch more vods so i can more properly analyze them but HOUGHH i have THOUGHTS!! SO MANY!!!)

what im trying to get at is that they were initially in the peripheral in each others lives but were eventually drawn together out of necessity, due to circumstances. the mutual respect followed, which was then followed by trust, and then collaboration, and then friendship. i've also made this post talking about their dynamic, how they both understand each other's need to focus on the here and now and understand that they don't need to know every little thing about each other to still trust each other. and this is so integral to their relationship. it's what makes archivists archivists.

so now all that's left for me to do is try to come up with some sort of au i can chuck them in, incorporating this idea of "friendship of necessity" as a core feature of the plot. i have scattered ideas but none are particularly appealing or solid enough. i will try though!! if u have any suggestions/thoughts/ideas feel free to leave a comment or say in tags (pspsppsps come brainrot with meeee)

//who are THESE fresh squids?? (made here)

okay these guys might not get a mention on this blog for a while- if ever- so i'm gonna talk about them now bc i've been rotating them in my mind for a while

these are captain's siblings! the ones they left behind when they were 14 to run away to inkopolis. captain certainly isn't proud of leaving them behind at ALL, in fact the one thing they wish they'd done differently is taking them with them, even if it would've been damn near impossible to take care of 2 younger siblings all on their own away from home when they were already struggling to take care of themself. they have no idea how their siblings fared with their neglectful ass father after they left, but pierce (right) was only a year or 2 younger than them, so they hoped he'd be able to leave soon too- taking harper (left) with him

so yeah harper (left) i think is probably around 16 or 17 now, having been 7 or 8 when captain left. since she was pretty young she didn't really know exactly why they left, and they didn't tell her either, so i'd say she probably resents them for it. she's a hotheaded edgy teen, classic rebel, you know the deal.

and then there's pierce (right), who's around 21 or 22 now, so he would've been 12 or 13 when they left. even if they didn't say a word to him before packing their bags and hopping a train at the asscrack of dawn, he knows exactly why they did. because being a kid and not only growing up, but having to parent your 2 younger siblings in your father's place, is hard. he basically had to take on their role as caretaker of harper when they left, being the second oldest, and that's how he realized. he doesn't resent them exactly, but he does wish they'd at least said goodbye. he's an outwardly chipper guy, and puts on a brave face even at the worst of times.

and they both did eventually get out of that house- pierce didn't leave as soon as he turned 14 like captain did (though cod, he wanted to) but when harper was old enough to be left home alone he got a job and saved up what he could to get himself and his younger sister out of there. and then when harper was 12 and he was 17, he got them both out of there. they might have gone somewhere else first, but i wanna say they probably ended up in splatsville, living in an apartment together with pierce doing what he can to support harper through school, and she does some turfing herself to help with rent and save up her own money so she can get her own place eventually.

i feel like the reason they probably haven't run into captain is that captain lives in inkopolis and only really goes to splatsville to visit rookie, and the last time they saw their siblings, neither of them were fully transformed yet, and they aren't so easy to recognize anymore themself. so if they've happened to pass each other on the street, it'd take more than just a cursory glance to realize just who they're passing. so it could definitely, and likely will, happen eventually. who's to say.
