Could I get a dice palette for my warforged bard Garotte? She's plated in mithril and has soft yellow glowy eyes, and wears navy blue and bright red. Her signature spell is shatter!

Hi sugar!!! I really love the inclusion of a favorite spell!! So much so I encourage others to include their favorite spells or attacks for their characters and what colors they associate with it!!

For example i personally associated Shatter with a more blue purple but monilith-of-orchids here associated it with more of a bright white/blue! Love this

Whump of May day 17

@themerrywhumpofmay

prompts used: “lets go back inside” carried, garotte

warnings: kidnapping, whumper calls whumpee it, strangling (not to kill)

characters: whumper, whumpee

words: 384

Whumper sat on the couch, talking to a friend on the phone, “Yeah, Whumpee’s still adjusting to living here. Yeah, still trying to escape. Not unlike yours. I imagine it’ll calm down in a few more weeks. Ok, yeah, talk to you later. Bye.”

He set his phone on the coffee table and sighed, looking down the hallway to Whumpee’s room. The light shone under the door and Whumper groaned. “It got out again.” 

He walked to the room and opened the door, not surprised to see the curtains blowing and the window screen torn up. “I’m gonna have to put bars on the window if it keeps trying to get away.” 

He climbed out of the window and checked to be sure he had a rope in his pocket. Whumpee’s footprints were easy to follow, this was one of the few times Whumper was glad for the near-constant rain. He stalked through the trees behind his house.

Whumper found Whumpee creeping around a boulder and smirked. It- as usual- wasn’t paying attention and Whumper stood behind them. He took the short rope out of his pocket. 

He wrapped the rope around Whumpee’s neck and drew his hands together. 

“What have I said about breaking the window screen, Whumpee?” He asked, pulling Whumpee back until he could look in their eyes. 

Whumpee gasped, arms reaching up to their throat. Whumper smiled and pulled them down until their back popped and mouth gaped open. 

“There we go, just go to sleep. Then we can go back inside, okay?” They whispered. Their voice calm and collected. Whumper’s hand reached around Whumpee’s waist and supported their weight. If Whumpee had control of their flailing limbs they’d push Whumper away from them, shove him away and off, maybe even throw him away from them. Far enough away that he’d never be able to get back to them again. And Whumpee would run. Run as far as they could until they were free and safe from Whumper. But, all they could do was flail wildly and hope that Whumper lost his grip somehow. 

Whumper slowly took on more of Whumpee’s weight, until their eyes closed and body fell limp. He sighed and loosened the rope then threw Whumpee over his shoulder, “There we go. Let’s get back inside now.”

Hallo Tatiana! I would love to hear about your OCs <3 - Mitch

🐈 CAT — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

Omg thank you so much!! Ok so some info about her, she’s a robot lady named Garotte. She’s a bard that plays the electric guitar!

She definitely prefers a very small group of friends, like 3 is the limit.

There’s really only one person she considers important to her, and that’s her BFF/partner in crime Belle. They’re the ‘Bad Idea’ gang, and get into lots of trouble.

She actually cannot taste! But she can smell, and barbecued meat smells the best to her.

She’s got a lot of quirks, but her biggest ones are that if she gets an idea in her head, it’s almost impossible to sway her from it. She also is a cutthroat businesswoman, who lives to wheel and deal.

I don’t have many friends, but I’m blessed by the ones I do have because I can say, “Guess who just bought a 𝒷𝓁𝑜𝓌𝑔𝓊𝓃!!!” and they just respond with, “Oh, I’m so glad, you really needed the enrichment. I know how much you miss your bow. It’s so nice to see the old you back again.”

And, you know, maybe that should be concerning for several dozens of reasons. Really, though, I’m just absolutely touched that the few people I’ve let see my heart know absolutely that I am meant to be surrounded by unusual weapons and there is nothing bad about that.

Going into Ward, one of the things that interested me is that pretty much everyone who read it, no matter what the felt about it as a whole, seemed to like what it did with Tattletale and incorporate it into their understanding of the character. To a certain extent this makes sense, outside of Amy people's problems with Worm usually aren't that characterization had been changed. But few other aspects of Ward have been talked about with so much relative positivity, or influenced so much retroactive analysis of Worm.

After reading her interlude, I'm starting to understand why.

From the bat we're given blunt and effective portrayals of how alone Lisa feels. Half of her descriptions of other characters focused on how they reminded her of people she's lost. The Heartbroken are primarily described by the ways they do and don't resemble Alec. Aiden by how he does and doesn't resemble Taylor. Imp and Rachel get mentioned but don't get to make an appearance at all, furthering the effect—reminders of her closest connections are everywhere, but the connections themselves are nowhere. She's left with the "expanded Undersiders," and is painfully aware of how they either dislike her or will never form a close connection with her.

There's a lot more emphasis here on how her power is a separate entity than there was in Lisa's Worm interlude. She's snarking at it, talking about it as something that interjects, drawing a clear divide in her head between what it figures out and what she figures out. Is that her knowledge of its nature developing, or simply a new way of looking at how it always worked?

The framing in the passage above seems to suggest that its encouraging her to distance herself from others, pushing her to interact but specifically feeding her information that will prevent close connections. Questions of agency and identity aside, I do like this as an aspect of powers-as-coping-mechanisms: she was triggered by failing to save someone she was close to, not recognizing the signs that he was unwell. Her power helps her see the signs she couldn't before, but it also seems to try to prevent those close connections from forming so she can't be hurt the same way. Not that its successful. Can't stop betting on losing dogs and all.

What she calls people internally is interesting. I figured she had been calling Sveta "Garotte" earlier to needle her, but she continues to call her that in her own thoughts, as does her power. Valkyrie gets to be "Valkyrie," and Vicky isn't called a cape name at all. There's a few ways to interpret this; I'm tempted to say that Lisa sees Victoria as a relic of pre-Gold Morning days, and sees Sveta largely in that context. Though I also feel like there's some refusal to see her or Rain as people who are separate from what they've done in the past. A lot of the comments I've read while reading the last few chapters are people debating whether she should've gone "white-hat," and I get the sense that she sees something dishonest in that. Leaving behind the things you've done isn't something she can do—even Lisa Wilbourn can't leave behind the failures of Sarah Livsey.

That might be something to think about in the context of Victoria claiming Tattletale is awful because she represents "giving up on something better." Its kind of baffling in that context; many people have pointed out that cutting the number of overdoses in half was way better than anything the heroes ever did, but Victoria resents that TT saw merely halving it as acceptable. She prefers methods that highlight a certain attitude towards a problem over methods that are effective at dealing with a problem. Having zero tolerance for overdoses and being able to do fuck-all about it becomes preferable to halving it, because not giving up on an ideal world is better than actually making the world better. As little regard as I have for Victoria's position, it seems that the text is giving it some credence by positioning Lisa not just as pursuing the methods that will make an actual difference, but also as rejecting the idea of "something better." Sveta can't be more than Garotte, overdose rates can be halved but not lowered further. Its weirdly reifying of Victoria's position, making Lisa a foil to it rather than a reflection of an entirely unrelated worldview.

There's a few team leaders in the parahumans-verse who get characterized as encouraging and benefiting from chaos within their ranks. Jack Slash had a self-image of himself as a master manipulator who knew just how to keep the Nine at each others throats to keep them in line, though of course his power was pulling heavy duty there. Trickster exulted in sowing chaos, but while he could use it to his advantage when working alone it explicitly got in the way of the Travellers as a whole during their operations. Lisa incorporates aspects of both; she seems to be cultivating a "this chaos is all part of my design" air for Faultline and Victoria while actually always being on the cusp of losing control of her own team. It seems less like something she's doing deliberately and more like something she has to deal with, even if she later frames it as part of preparing Aiden or something similar.

Man, her relationship with Aiden. First explicit mention of Taylor we've had since the beginning and its for a blunt confirmation that she sees herself as failing Taylor in the same way she failed Rex, and is terrified of doing with Aiden. It feels both like she's holding him at arms length and that she's desperate for a close connection with him.
