#general rococoa rocks

[mayapapaya33]

(2:05:13) Is it bad that I'm actively rooting for General Rococoa and Prince Amethar to find out that Deli killed their Mom and Sister and for them to absolutely annihilate him? I don't think that's what's going to happen; (Because Amethar can't die right now so Matt prooooobably won't use him for a PC confrontation to avoid to either an egregious railroad-esque OP-Amethar OR accidentally fucking up the timeline by going OOPS Amethar is dead, I guess resurrection magic has to exist in this world now lol).

But if Deli gets killed by Amethar and or Rococoa that will be the funniest thing I've ever seen and it's 100% deserved. Lou on Lou violence! Fingers crossed!

--------------------------Fanfiction prompt-------------------------------

If it doesn't happen in the campaign, it should ABSOLUTELY happen in Fanfiction. I haven't looked yet because I don't like spoilers so I'm waiting until I'm done to look for Ravening War stuff. But if there isn't anything about Delissandro and the House of Rocks on Ao3 I will be both Shocked AND Appalled at the state of fandom lmfao. The drama and angst potentials are off the charts! Sure, shipping is great fun, but this level of murder, manipulation, and vengeance is so juicy! (And it's not like you can't throw a ship or two in there if you're so inclined, though personally I'm equally as interested in Gen).

Imagine Deli and Rococoa or Deli and Amethar or all three of them, fighting side by side during the war. They're becoming friendly acquaintances or becoming actual friends even, except deep down, Deli knows. He hides a dark secret, he killed his friend's mother, and their sister. And for what exactly? To unite the Meatlands! Yes... right, of course! Maybe Rococoa saves Deli's life and smiles at him or laughs at a joke of his and his much-shriveled conscience twinges. Amethar pats him on the back and jokes that he caught Deli with his pants down, which means they're finally true allies and Deli feels like shit, literally and metaphorically.

There are so many ways you could play it. You could go from Deli's pov and have him slowly devolve into a sort of Lady Macbeth-esque figure as the guilt eats away at him more and more with every act of kindness and friendship. Once he finally realizes the true extent of what he has done. Not just to the House of Rocks, but to the world. The Death of the Queen of Candia is what finally kicked off the continent-wide war, she is the Franz Ferdinand of Candia and I'm not sure he's fully internalized that. I think it's too big.

Or he could be unrepentant to the last, as Rococoa and Amethar find out and turn on him, he could villain monologue about the greater good and being a tool of destiny as they cave his skull in and weep at the betrayal of a friend who was never truly their friend (or was he?)

Or it could be from Amethar's pov (or Rococoa's pov, but I assume most people will pick Amethar because he's a PC played by Lou up against another PC played by Lou so that's more intriguing than an NPC who was mostly just a ghost and a memory in ACOC). And you could follow the story as Amethar and Rococoa meet Deli before a battle. They all end up fighting in the same area and fight well together.

Through various circumstances they keep being brought together. Or forced together in Deli's case. Meanwhile Deli is SUPER uncomfortable lol, but Amethar isn't the most observant guy in the world, he doesn't notice. It's from his pov after all. And we can watch the relationship unfold. Somewhat like what happened with ---SPOILERS FOR ACOC--- Calroy, but different. I do think once you have Amethar's trust, you have it, he's a pretty simple man. Rococoa is more of an unknown to me, but I do know she's smarter than Amethar (not that that's a particularly high bar, sorry Amethar). So maybe Deli saves Rococoa or Amethar because there are a lot of witnesses around and he can't conveniently let them die because that would look really really bad, and he ends up earning their trust.

However you want to do it, it is the perfect set up for a Shakespearian tragedy. The audience already knows that confrontation and doom are inevitable, yet if you play it right, like all good writers you can give the audience temporary amnesia and delusion and make them hope that everything will be ok as you show them having fun and joy and comradery together. It's like walking into the movie theater to see Titanic, even if you know what's going to happen, you still have a good time when they start dancing, and you're still screaming at them to steer the ship in a different direction or not get on the boat in the first place and you're still sad when they drown. (Or for the CR fans out there, it's like walking into EXU Calamity knowing Exandria's history and still getting attached to those characters and rooting for them because you can't help it lol).

Round One - Bracket Sixteen [Dimension 20 NPC of All Time]

Alejandro Ortiz vs Rococoa Rocks

Description under the cut

Alejandro Ortiz - He/Him

Campaign: The Unsleeping City, The Unsleeping City: Chapter II

Who is he?

Alejandro Ortiz is a former archmage of the Gramercy Occult Society. He is a 94 year-old, extremely rotund Colombian man. He has incredibly warm eyes, big white mustache and is very gregarious. He likes to wear a little flat cap. He is best friends with Kingston Brown, and was part of the party who fought the Mummy of the Met.

Why is he the NPC of All Time?

Alejandro is a badass grandpa with nothing but love and concern for his granddaughters while simultanously putting himself in harms way despite being 94 years old? He is an icon.

Rococoa Rocks - She/Her

Campaign: A Crown of Candy, The Ravening War

Who is she?

General Rococoa of House Rocks was one of King Amethar's older sisters, and the oldest sister of House Rocks.

Why is she the NPC of All Time?

Badass woman general who was killed too soon. The final person standing between Amethar and the throne that should never have been his. Her body was discovered by him making her death even more devestating.

oh my god it's my other best friend. can't believe nothing bad will ever happen to her and especially not at the battle of pangranos

[aelwynrights]

i think that no matter how old they are once sapphria starts to get really good at roasting her sisters they all get very upset. rococoa asks sapphria for some help with a battle plan because of her diplomatic spy expertise and sapphria goes “what, you need me to tell you who we trust? general rule, it’s not the guys shooting at us, ro, i’ll tell you that” entirely deadpan and rococoa has to sit down

[supernaturalcharlie11]

Do you know how many things would have to have gone wrong for this to matter?

- Sapphria Rocks

[sapphicfog]

[sweetsmalldog]

So who’s gonna write the Rococoa lives au where Rococoa marries Caramelinda and they have an understanding but non romantic relationship and Amethar puts everything into being a good dad to Saccharina because he’s lost so much family and the tiny baby girl in his arms is so fragile and he’s her father and it’s his job to defend her and she’s alive. And when little Saccharina talks about seeing Lazuli in her reflection she’s believed and her gifts are nurtured to the best of their ability because they’re in Candia and magic is real and good and she’s a princess even if she’s fourth in line for the throne.

[fanwarrior321]

a spin off in the crown of candy world about the Rocks sisters is something I now desperately need. like with the Seven in fantasy high world. those women are one of my favorite parts about this world and it's something I CRAVE WITH MY WHOLE BEING
