Last night the ST fire emblem au brainworms came back so to help feed them, here’s my ideas on what classes I think the characters would be

Mike: Lord (he’s essentially the blue haired lord in my head, can become a paladin later)

Will: Mage or Cleric (going more with mage cause they get pointy hats while clerics don’t)

Lucas: Archer

Dustin: Bard (yes this is a class in this game but only in like two and the older ones)

El: idk either mage or she’s manakete (dragon person)

Max: Pegasus knight

Nancy: Mage (with a proficiency in bows)

Jonathan: Thief (might change later idk)

Steve: Red Cavalier

Barb: Cleric or Mage (I was also thinking Pegasus knight to do the whole Pegasus trio trope in many of the games)

Robin: Green Cavalier

Argyle: Apothecary (like Jonathan, might change later)

Vickie: Pegasus knight

Eddie: Mercenary (the hellfire club is his mercenary group, leaning towards the trickster class as well)

Chrissy: Dancer (it’s the cheerleader class of this game)

Hopper: Knight (don’t know which kind yet)

Joyce: Axe Fighter (might change too but might not cause AXE)

Murray is the hubba tester/rainbow sage character (aka the relationship fortune teller mechanic that’s in awakening and fates respectfully) he can also be playable. Idk what his class is yet

hey! what the helllll is disco elysium? i've been seeing it and it looks interesting and. i'm asking you rn bc i like ur pfp:)

hey! thanks lol my pfp is my dnd character :))

Disco Elysium is an incredible game made by a group of Estonian communists. Following a colossal world-shattering bender, your character, a detective of the Revachol Citizen's Militia, wakes in a hostel room with no memory and over the next few days has to put the pieces of his life back together while also attempting to solve a murder and uncovering details of the unfamiliar world he's living in. He has help from the set of skills who live in his head and give him suggestions, and from his police partner, Kim Kitsuragi, as he tries to navigate this unfamiliar world and the cast of characters who populate it; delinquent kids, angry cafeteria managers, cryptid hunters, communist students, union men, speedfreaks, programmers.

The game has really gorgeous writing and oscillates between poetic and hilarious. The world building is rich and interesting, and lends itself very well to theorising. It has some very heavy themes- mental illness, disability, masculinity, capitalism, colonialism, morality of policing, community, love and heartbreak, addiction- and gets extremely dark in places, but one of the things I love most about it is the way it's punctuated by moments of light.

Oh my gawd you're a game dev?? What kind of games do you like making? Are you currently working on something? Do you have any tips? I'm trying game dev myself, I'm not the best atit though (sorry for a lot of questions 😭)

Yep!! right now it's just a hobby I do on the side while I get my footing (studying programming so that's taking up a lot of my time lol) but I definitely want to do more with it in the future

As for tips, I'm pretty new to it all myself so I'm kind of half-blindly stumbling through the process and can't really offer much advice-

Currently I'm working on a little text adventure game but its VERY rough and I'm just testing out the concept. Mostly a project for myself but i might end up releasing it/showing other's, depends how it goes haha

I love 2D adventure games especially, but while I get better at pixel art and animation I've mostly been messing around with text-based games.

Hello Caleb Widogast cosplayers whomst I am sure follow me, I have a question for you all

I need to order a wig for a character whose hair looks like it's meant to be a similar shade/length to mid-to-late campaign Caleb (who is also, coincidentally, a sad German man who loves books) and have been having a hell of a time finding one I'm pleased with, even with the help of an Arda color wheel borrowed from a friend. What wigs have some of you purchased for your costumes?

Arda are my preferred wig source but I'm willing to consider another place if you've been really happy with one. If you're willing to share pictures that would be ideal, but you certainly don't have to.

Vielen dank, Freunde.

7, 26, 29, and 30 for the writing asks!

Thank you for the questions! From this ask game.

7. Your favourite ao3 tag. In terms of reading tags, anything Alternate Universe. I can't pick one favorite sub-type but it's undoubtedly the family of tags I read the most of. In terms of silly tags: 'no beta we die like wwx', because it's a hilariously perfect twist on the 'no beta we die like men'. (The main character canonically dies at the start of the novel.) (I was tempted to also choose a NSFW tag but chickened out.🙈) 26. What would you describe as OOC? Behavior that deviates from expected norms without any reasonable justification. It'd look different from character to character but a general example would be if Superman showed up and just started murdering people, and we were never given a reason why, that's OOC to me. A lot of (rude) commenters use OOC as an insult, but if a character is going through a different set of circumstances, they may not be exactly like they are in canon. However, if the setup and setting is essentially canon but the character veers into wildly different behavior, I consider that OOC. 29. What's the hardest thing about writing? For me, it's dealing with the low points when my creative energy is nonexistent. It's probably natural that creativity will ebb and flow but when I have a period of no writing longer than a couple of weeks, I get pretty depressed (which of course just makes it harder to feel like creating🥲). 30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't. I'm going to pick an example of something I almost got to the finish line and then...didn't, rather than an idea I had but never started.

It was a Charles/Erik X-Men: First Class werewolf AU set in the world of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson novels. (My love for super niche AU strikes again!) The set up was similar to the movie in that Charles and Raven grow up together, Charles is gathering "misfits", and Erik goes through hell because of Shaw and becomes hell-bent on killing him. Everyone is a werewolf and wolves are split into alpha, beta or the very rare omega, completely unrelated to the alpha, beta and omega dynamics common in fanfic.

A wounded Erik stumbles onto the estate in Westchester, on the run from Shaw. Charles finds him, introducing him to the idea of a supportive pack (instead of what he had with Shaw) and their attraction grows as Erik recovers. Eventually Shaw finds them and Erik chooses to side with Charles and protect his new found family pack.

I put a lot of heart and soul into that one and I'm still pretty proud of the writing, but I just thought it would constantly be confused as an a/b/o fic and readers would be upset or disappointed that it didn't have any of those aspects, so eventually I gave up on making it happen.

How u got into Pokémon, Len’en, and touhou?

Is there other interests/things u like as well ?

i got into pokemon when i was in like 3rd grade, because a friend gave me some of his cards

i got into touhou in 7th grade because i had heard bad apple on a pump it up prime machine the arcade i had my birthday party at had, and was trying to find it on youtube a few months later

and i got into len'en earlier this year because i had been listening to the ost and had honestly been meaning to give it a shot for years

besides those, i'm a big fan of kirby, those games are my childhood (even more than pokemon is). most the other stuff im big into right now are niche though, like 100% orange juice and hit webcomic sparkly life of murder-chan

[antique-forvalaka]

hm, the Boi and lqq for niche asks?

niche ask game

my, i wonder what inspired these two in particular....

So let's do Han Ying and Liu Qianqiao like this.

a song that reminds me of them Patiently Undone by Red Vox (this one has given me so many brainworms) You Want Everything by Snowmine (though i dont know if that isnt just more related to the whole Yu Qiufeng thing...)

what they smell like oof, something dry but pleasant, perhaps pine needles magonlia blossoms/perfurme an otp Hanzhou! hmm, either with Luo Fumeng or Du Pusa

a notp Han Ying/Xie Wang.. sorry i just cant see it Liu Qianqiao/Yu Qiufeng - sorry girl you deserve better

favorite platonic/familial relationships Han Ying & the new 18 disciples, zhang chengling, or Qin Jiuxiao. god im a sucker for Han Ying and Jiuxiao friendship - though i read some fic where they dont get along and thats also top tier Liu Qianqiao & Gu Xiang, so loving. but also Liu Qianqiao & Wen Kexing/Zhen Yan is sooo interesting ngl!

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with urgh. Han Ying's incompetence or his absolute obedience. I know WoH makes everyone a little bit stupid, but he needs to be way more competent if he's meant to have worked his way up as Tian Chuang Tongling/Commander and also just wiped out his whole (huge!) squad just to be sure no one reports on ZZS. and he's not all that obedient either, loyal? yes, but to the disregard of direct orders hmm, honestly i dont know many fandom Headcanons for her?

the position they sleep in Straight up on his back, but he grew up sleeping rolled up like a shrimp so tends to curl up during the night when sufficiently stressed. on her side, with her unblemished cheek to the pillow - a habit she developed when the burn was still raw and painful. Now sleeping on her other side is uncomfortable by sheer habit.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in CQL - purely because id love to see hy confused for Wen Xu. more seriously tho I'd love to see Han Ying as a powder mage in the powder mage trilogy... guess im going to make that happen myself! i dont think i have much of an opinion here tbh... Though i think she'd slap hard in the Stormlight Archive Universe

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn he has one outfit. one. Ah wait! actually i just remembered he also has his sneaky sneak outfit when he steals the armor, but i'd still have to choose the classic coat combo when he gets reunited with zzs. The dress she wore while talking to Yu Qiufeng in the rain!

hehe this was unexpectedly fun ngl!

81 and if yes, a little fun fact about each friend you would be willing to marry? (only if you feel comfortable sharing, obviously)

Yes I would! I mean I'm poly to begin with so I don't have a problem with it and divorces are available. To be honest I started answering this ask at one point and then got hung up on who i should answer the fun facts for and then set it aside and then adhd forgot about it so I think I'm gonna have to pass on the fun facts..... sorry!!!! Id love to share some but my brain is smooth and has problems
