Hardwired Island

90s nostalgia isn't cool anymore, its all about that early aughts nostalgia, so I propose we have transparent plastic prosthetic limbs, like those bootleg PS2/Wii controllers Touchstones: Bubblegum Crisis, 90s Cyberpunk Anime in general

Genre: Cyberpunk What is this game?: Hardwired Island is a cyberpunk game about being broke citizens in the first space station city on earth 

How's the gameplay?: Hardwired Island uses a 2d6+Bonus system, inspired by PBTA, but the game itself isn't exactly that. Hardwired's character creation is one of its big draws, being fairly simple but allowing many different character concepts, maybe you're an android street fighter, wanting to enter the big leagues, or an ex-military drone operator, wanting to atone for your crimes, character creation works by picking a background, Occupation, and 2 traits, which lets you get really flexible with your character! Backgrounds have misc abilities and determine your character's skills (which you get to create yourself, so if you want your character to be really good at niche internet drama, you can!), Occupations give you powerful abilities that make you really good at things that other people can do worse, and traits are just random abilities and events in your character's history. The Big Thing about Hardwired is its financial shock system, whenever your character makes a big purchase, such as for example a prosthetic, they might get more financial stress, which can end up leading them into a crisis, where they might need to reach out to a friend to get a place to stay, or move back with their parents, or make shady deals with the mafia, and so on. Hardwired's mechanics are Narrative-first, meaning they exist to create interesting drama for characters, and that makes it a very fun system for just making cool stories

What's the setting (If any) like?: Hardwired takes place in the far future of 2020, on a giant space station city, where the rich prosper and the poor toil. Hardwired is really keen on the "boring dystopia" aspect, there's definitely interesting stuff! but players are assumed to be common laymen trying their best to get by, of course this doesn't mean their ADVENTURES have to be boring! a package delivery gig could end with dealing with the strange Dreamers, bizarre AI with weird powers, or an investigation on an anonymous street artist could end in inciting a riot against a local bank, and so on!

What's the tone?: Hardwired will try to crush your players, it is not a pleasant world, there's kindness everywhere, and good people to be found, but the world is overwhelmingly against you

Session length: 1-2 hours is realistic enough

Number of Players: 4-6 is the recommended amount by me!

Malleability: Hardwired's mechanics are kinda rooted in its setting, but a crafty GM could likely do something interesting with them, I've been working on a hack for my own cyberpunk setting, for example!

Resources: a Google Sheet is available, and that's honestly kinda all you need, its not a very complex system. There's two or so expansions, one of them includes a playable cat occupation!

So I hesitated a lil on posting this game because i know people have Opinions on this game, but this game's great and im tired of pretending its not. It's a definite must play for any cyberpunk fan, in my opinion

[spooky-k1d]

YAAAAAAYYY finally worked up the courage to post my mortal kombat OC WHOOOOO !!!!1111!!!! 🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🔥💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💪 also i just realized i misspelled tanya as tany. Tragic

uhhhh basically she's a hybrid shang tsung made using mileena's, tanya's and his own DNA So because mileena has tarkat ofc she ended up being born with it But 'cause her DNA is mixed with two people who dont have tarkat (...) the density of the cells in her blood is lower (guy who makes shit up about fictional disease) and so she still has mild deformities but doesnt suffer from bloodlust and concluded she cant be consumed by disease like others

sigh I like her a lot she lives in my brain always she is my white noise now Anyway this post is all i'll be sharing as of now because i do plan on actually writing more in depth about her so i hope that actually happens lol

character bio below cut

Age: Young Adult (~50 years, because of her lifespan Yes she is a YA still)

Name: Xeja

Place of Birth Creation: Shang Tsung’s laboratory

Gender: Female

Species: Tarkat Hybrid

Language: Speaks Northern Outworld dialect but with a Tarkatan accent

Family/Friends/Pets: Shang Tsung (biological father, and sees him as so), Mileena & Tanya (biological mothers), Frost (sees her as a sister [this is for another story/AU bare with me PLEASE IM SORRY FOR BEING CRINGE]); Cassie Cage (friend [same thing with Frost]); Has some pet snails she found outside and begged to keep

Height: Inch or two shorter than Shang Tsung

Hair: Held up with Shang Tsung’s old hairpiece (seen in MK1 Prologue)

Additional Description: Has surgical scars around her body from Shang Tsung removing overgrown bone due to pain, and skin torn around mouth and overgrown bone

Typical Clothing/Equipment: All clothes are handmade or modified by herself / Shang Tsung due to her deformities

Personality/Attitude: Almost complete opposite of what you’d expect for the child of Shang Tsung. She has a bubbly personality and is incredibly energetic. Xeja is ambitious and willing to work hard for the things she wants. She isn't afraid to stand up for herself and others, or share her feelings / thoughts. However, she has a bad habit of overstepping boundaries and invading people’s personal space. Plus, she isn’t always aware of social cues and rules.

Goals/Ambitions: She wants to go to school because Shang Tsung never got to, and also wishes to pursue musical theatre, but has a backup plan of training to join the Imperial Police in case Shang Tsung disapproves

Hobbies/Interests: Despite her purpose of creation being a weapon, she’d rather spend her time singing, playing piano, gardening, and cooking/baking

Attitude Toward Death: Her lifespan is expected to be only a couple hundred years, which is short compared to Shang Tsung’s multi-millennium lifespan. So, she’s come to accept that she will die relatively soon (to Shang Tsung, at least), and just tries her best to live a life that makes her happy

Place/Type of Residence: Lives with Shang Tsung on his island

the Real fight club / the lighthouse au would have Tyler as Winslow/Howard and the narrator as Tom Wake, actually

forgive me for this jumbled mess but:

-homoerotic. power imbalance (tyler trapped in the narrator's head)

-like. its all tylers perspective being trapped in this useless rat's head

-Tyler's made to do to all the work

-the narrator obviously feels extremely beholden to tyler which seems at odds with how tom has all the power but truthfully it reflects that tyler ultimately is the narrators creation set to do all the things the narrator is too afraid and unwilling to do. all the dirty work. he isnt his own person, he is held to the narrator's rules

-boss = seagull. bad luck to kill your boss. i like my boss actually. the soul of a working man. brought too close to the devil. trapped. middle management

-seagull in the cistern is finding the narrator STILL pretends he likes his boss. lies to himself even now. pretends tyler is the one

-pale death treble dead <- narrators haikus

-mermaid=marla, trying/wanting to be heterosexual. a curse another has left for him

-prior murder = buried homosexuality. catches up to tyler

-the light = personhood

-the logbook: tyler could never truly measure up to what the narrator wants because the narrator himself will never commit to his own wants

-tom: fake sailor thing. the narrator is fake. stupid. nothing.

-winslow lies to tom about his past to hide his sins. tyler lies to the narrator about not being real. etc.

-tom talks about being married to the lighthouse (penis)/his job, better than a human wife.

-happy shit before missing the ship home: the bright and good times of expanding and enjoying fight club, narrator seeming to take on rejection of his job and lot in life

-getting trapped on the island: tyler realizes he cant surpass the narrator entirely. trapped. even fight club wasnt enough to turn him around, too, the narrator isn't truly rejecting shit.

-the damps got to the provisions: narrator cant really keep an actual job anymore even though he refuses to move forward from it

-the tenders coming <- tylers hope that the narrator can at all improve

-the buried alcohol - the last little bits fo the narrators participation in project mayhem

-you dont like me cooking :( ? - you dont like hanging out and wasting away in a delapidated mansion?

-youre fond of me lobster :( - you like beating me up right :(?

-sea curse: not in order really but same vibe as the narrator immediately deciding he needs to kill tyler asap since hes not real and that makes him verrry sad

-trying to break into the light then the lightbook dresser = trying to be a person as project mayhem leaderwhile the narrator is otherwise occupied

-the winslow breakdown 2nd jerking off scene. tyler losing it because he will never be a person. trapped forever with the most useless piece of shit. inherited all his problems.

-almost kissed. started fighting

-im tyler durden and im not a perfect god = im tommy howard and i killed a man. similarly tom does not want to hear it

-tyler takes on the narrators body bec he has to. winslow takes winslows name because he has to.

-dont leave me, chopping up the boat = narrator going to kill tyler for not being real

-dog scene. tyler reenacting the shit hes learned onto the narrator. cycle of violence

I'M BEHIND SCHEDULE

HOUR IN BLACK, PART THREE : THE UNDERWORLD

im skimming really fast because CHARMS have already dropped and i need to get there

!! the outline: lethe and the sea of shadows, but now islands jut out from it which are afterlives. some afterlives are ritual afterlives formed by funerary ceremony and ancestor worship, some are primeval afterlives about the manner of your death. big change! it's full of ghosts, who you mostly know. ghosts aren't their full living selves, death takes a lot from them and theyre defined by their passions and grow weirder after death,

soulsteel.....

phantom beasts! vesper-wolves and pyre-maggots.... cool

prehuman ghosts! omg even dragon king ghosts.... yes yes yes

the history of the underworld is so incredible. im usually sort of tepid on these sections, even though i like the idea of having a history, but for whatever reason this one is soooo cool to me

stygian archipelago!!!

"Bereft of stable stars or predictable trade winds, ghostly sailors develop other means of charting  their course, whether following in the wake of phantom leviathans, piloting their ships under the  auspice of oracular trances, or reconciling the movements of the Calendar of Setesh with local  geomancy" BANGIN!!!!

the old laws are so fascinating to e... the little hints have me a little bit obsessed. man imagine playing stories like the fallen london stories about correspondence and discordance but to repair the old laws... mmm

ugh i looove the different aterlives so much

whispers... and the labyrinth

"Specters in the thrall of Thundering Dissolution join their minds  with his in the Symphony of Omnipresence, a psychic whirlpool that shears away the borders  between their consciousnesses" oh y god i have to use this shit somehow

stygia!!! hot damn... extreme politics at the heart of the underworld

i have a soft spot for the calendar of setesh ever since i made The Wheel And Weight of Grinding Time Crushes All Beneath Its Passage, an abyssal obsessed with hijacking the calendar via pirate radio to install a new constellation

"Each district’s boundaries are reinforced on the first day of each year with a ceremonial  procession. The regent must touch each of the district’s ancient boundary-stones, and shifting  those stones as part of the rite allows one district to expand at another’s expense. Whoever  completes the procession is the regent; regents surround themselves with bodyguards to prevent  coups during that vulnerable time. " OH my fucking god. what a heist movie. holy shit

GFKDNGDSG GENTRIFIED BY THE SILVER PRINCE

theres a whole subsection for the sewers. this is worldbuilding.

culture... architecture... a dole of black bread and white cheese...

"Weeds signify  persistence and thriving in the Underworld; a dandelion represents passage into Lethe. Fish  symbolize ghosts, while a fishhook means either love or money, depending on who you ask. And  blood — or, indeed, anything crimson — holds many meanings depending on context, including  power, food, artistic fervor, endings, new beginnings, and Creation itself." why was this made specifically to caer to me

"A few places  specialize in stoking negative emotions, luring perverse customers with discordant choirs,  noisome odors, or the like. Several wineshops on Seawall offer bone-dry hardtack and skunked  beer; the Kudzu Bell’s boarding house specializes in stale bread, mildewed cheese, and  vegetables boiled into a sulfurous mass." oh my god

"Some ghosts hoard coins whose psychic residue resonates with their own feelings; money  changers sort obols by emotion for arbitrage." to me this is what exalted is about. this is what no other game has. lets take a wacky fantasy concept and do irl economics about it

:000 mausoleums! places where prayer distills down and bathes ghosts... sort of like a pseudo manse?

....huh! people heard of stygia as a heaven, expected to go there as a ritual afterlife, and now there are spots in stygia for them

collegia! the ultimate in dark academia. ghosts who keep ancient traditions and skills, and are doing quite a lot of politics about it

and the mansions, which are pimeval afterlives of sudden death. these and the collegia alone give stygia such incredible depth already

"In the Underworld’s first days, the Resplendent Mansion stood  foremost among its peers, comprised of a host of Exalted and other  heroic ghosts who’d died in battle against the world’s makers. But  new members slowed to a trickle, then stopped entirely before the  First Age’s end. Today, their ancient seat atop Shining Hill stands all  but empty, inhabited by a few reclusive timeworn ghosts and a host  of guardian spirits and automata." .... so now that primordials and neverborn are out in the world beefing again someone might suddenly take up that seat huh

oh wow i love the transcendent course as a cult. it feels so, ironically, alive. and the DUAL MONARCHS

"The Incarnadine Path was Stygia’s native religion before the Dual Monarchs. Its creed reveres  the River of Blood as the literal and metaphorical lifeblood of Creation and Underworld alike.  Ghosts of the Mansions find a sense of superiority in their ancient ties to the faith, while the  collegia uphold it in opposition to the Transcendent Course. Its stronghold is the rust-red steeple  of the Cruor, where Incarnadine blood-priests sacrifice animals brought at great difficulty from  the living world to anoint the faithful in gore. Since Stygia’s founding, the Cruor’s priests have  been a law unto themselves, offering sanctuary to fugitives; the Signatories show little respect  for these traditions, but citywide rioting the last time the Legion Sanguinary violated Cruor  sanctuary makes them cautious." MORE CULTS. MORE

and now the stygian pact, with thirteen signatories, wich do not correspond to al deathlords! which i thought was fun. skull pirate aikeret! fathom hermit puppet for the underwater eemi!!! ukhala enlightened-in-blood... i am free on thursday... white thyrsus the youth pastor for a cult to a ghost-eating forest, sesim ruseka the bird bitch. god frankly any of these guys would be fun deathlords as well

WOW namtar is fun

ok im gonna cut myself off before dari of the mists... charms one day i will reach you...

the chain's favorite places in wild's hyrule

so i replayed totk earlier this year and while i was playing it got me thinking "what places in wild's hyrule would be the chain's favorite" and here's what i think

sky: the sky islands, obviously. but specifically I think he would LOV the diving challenge islands. i feel like wild would 100% get him a set of diving gear and they would have competitions on who could dive the best (spoilers: its sky. it always sky. wild whines and says that sky is cheating/has an unfair advantage every time)

hyrule: the fairy fountains in the sky. theres just something so calming and peaceful about them and fae!hyrule absolutely loves just staying up there chatting with his sisters. i think he would also like the areas where the great fairies are for similar reasons.

twilight: hateno village 100%. wild lets it slip that his hyrule just discovered how to make cheese and twilight nearly loses his mind and demands wild take him to hateno immediately. i imagine him and the farmers would be on really good terms and he would spend all his time chatting there.

four: lookout landing and its because purah, flora, and robbie are there. once he gets over the truly horrific creations wild is able to make using the fuse mechanic he demands to learn everything about zonai tech. he also likes the akkala zonai survery team spot for similar reasons and loses his mind when wild shows off his hoverbike.

legend and time: im combining both of them because i feel like both of them would Really like kakariko village. kakariko in totk feels like a quieter but still busy version of hateno and i feel like legend and time would absolutely Love it there. just peaceful vibes, helping out the survery team there occasionally, and i feel like they both would get along with paya super well.

wind: lurelin village. this is the most obvious answer bc i feel like lurelin would remind him a lot of his own home + i also think he would love the sky islands as a whole. especially once he learns that there's a way to Ride the Dragons.

warriors: honestly, any of the major cities, but i feel like he would especially like gerudo town. this is kinda my own personal headcanon but i feel like he would get along with riju, alongside the other champions, but especially riju bc he knows what it likes to be a leader and the expectations that come with that esp at a young age. also. i feel like along with riju he and buliara would 100% be besties.

The kloborg brotp ask thinggg continuesss, this time its a tricky question namely "did you ever think you'd end your friendly disagreement with a... loving unity?" (a pun on how its a brotp in my posts and also a suggestion to bring it to the next level. but im afraid Hoborg doesnt take things this way)

its not handwritten this time but im too tired to redo the text so as usual, translation to English in readmore

(Hoborg is sitting at the Pin Island next to Klogg who seems to be chilling. Hoborg holds a yellow letter; these are used to pass the question to characters in these askblog posts. Most of the stuff that follows is told by Hoborg off-screen in his thoughts, so it's not all vocal but text still belongs to him.)

Hoborg: I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly but... I'm afraid you'll be disappointed with my answer. The thing is, I already do love him. But unity in such things is needed from both sides, no? I can't make him love me back, that's just cruel! I can't even make him feel sympathy towards me, it goes against what I've put into my creations... They have to choose on their own what they like and what they feel towards certain things. But even if I can't make Klogg do everything I want... I still have some responsibility before those I've created. They need to have at least someone to rely upon. Someone to love them for simply existing! At the end I've made myself friends to make it all less lonely and I love them all... there's no other way! That's why I love him, too... even though a lot of people find him scary or annoying, he's still one of us.

(He looks over at Klogg who's making a paper plane. Then suddenly he bends over and hugs him, speaking into his shoulder.)

H: It's all gonna be alright.

Klogg: For sure, but for whom...

H: For all of us. You, me, everyone in the Neverhood. I won't leave you here all alone.

K: I kinda got used to it... eh, come on now...

(He raises a hand to either hug Hoborg back or to brush him off, but instead he just defeatedly leans into the hug, placing his chin on Hoborg's shoulder.)

Ok so since tumblr couldn't let me add more than 10 photos i had to improvise.

So here it is.

Shang tsung self ship giant ass post!

Ok so this is me. Describing things as if im giving a tour or tutorial on a game. :3

Very self indulgent.

🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉

SHANG TSUNG'S ISLAND

The island: absolutely breathtaking views. Tropical paradise. Various old structures and architecture of many many various eras and dynasties of China. Sometimes you can feel the island like it's alive....how ominous. Shang tsung says the island is in a realm of its own. A pocket dimension,not quite affected the same way as the realms it connects to. It sorta of is timeless,much like the man who rules it...still wonder what he means by this.

But overall it has lovely shores and beaches. Lavish courtyards and gardens. It has an upper courtyard,and lower. The Lower courtyard is mostly for guests,kombatants when there is a tournament,servents and guards. The upper courtyard is for me and shang tsung. He doesn't let anyone wander around in it unless he invites you. Which he does rarely.

The interior: the interior is traditional but has modern facilities. (Look shang is old but come on man!)

Tho he does have a traditional kitchen and a modern. But the modern one is his personal one near his living quarters. The rest of the inner palace is still got an old school vibe.

The inner palace/private living quarters:The bed chambers is lavish. Large. Silks,velvets,gold,red. *sigh* . Beautiful.

Shang's private kitchen,bathroom,hot spring,etc is all connected.

Armor/clothing:has beautiful armor and a ceremonial sword in his bed chambers too.

Some armor is for kombat. Some is ceremonial. Either way it's always beautiful to look at.

I too have lovely outfits. Aren't they great?

My magic apprentice outfit. Sorceress in training if you will. (Not exactly how i had it,but it was closest to i could find)

Also our accessories too

Shang and i (lady tsung) have snake rings. A pendent that helps my magic training. Master tsung has a snake flask(with what alcohol or its contents, i dare not ask him) and a dragon pipe for Tobacco(or other substances im sure).

Throne room:Shang tsung's throne room is also breathtaking. A Large room,holden dragons,the tournament master private dining room, a small courtyard next to it. Isn't it lovely?

His chair and also the outside gates to the inner palace.

Well that's all i have to show you for now! I hope you enjoy your stay. You probably should get going before he gets back. Shang tsung,my beloved tends to get a bit peeved when i have guests up here.

❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤🐉❤

I hope you enjoyed this fun post. Also if you want you can use some of the pics for aesthetic boards if you want! Just try to credit me or at least send me a link to your work. I would love to see your creations!

Nothing is set in stone. And things may change but i have fun world building fr. So i hope this helps you too get ideas!

Plz i really love discussion on this stuff :'3 i have little people to talk to bout decor and design. And all this that goes into story and art.

Sincerely- @mrstsung (lady tsung,arttrampbelle)

*note i dont do mk12 shang. I will do any other shang tsung. Thank you*

HI HELLOso this is a very out of the blue question but if u feel ok sharing how did u go about making ur whf ocs into their own original universe?? a close pal of mine and i have been into whf for years and we still love it but want to separate the ocs we made for it into our own universe w some of the same general themes, so i guess what im asking is, do u have any advice from ur own experience of doing that? u dont have to answer this if u dont want to btw no pressure :3

so i've been thinking on how to answer this one, since i struggle to put concepts into understandable words and honestly i would consider asking @theshiaxartist about it as well as he's the one i did this with, he's usually better at explaining things in my opinion, plus multiple perspectives always helps :>

but also i didn't really?

so me n shiax looked at our ocs and the relations we'd built between them and decided we didn't want to change that, so we just kinda, transplanted it over

are we using whf itself? no, but we are using a lot of the concepts that play major parts in it: -completely isolated island -major mood changing and manipulating drugs -it was supposed to be a better place and ended in dystopia and destruction -etc etc

we took this concept and moved it over to a technically premade world (in actuality it was just bits n pieces of worlds that we'd both made but no longer has use for and so just slapped them all together, we're still constantly adding and developing to it, friend's connected universes are real)

i suppose why it seems like they're no longer fan ocs now is that we're not currently in that portion of the timeline, we've moved on

for us, the events of the isle (our stand in for whf) happened, it is a very important part of the oc's backstory and character development, without it they'd be completely different people but canonly, where we are in the timeline of things is roughly 2-5 years after they escaped and the isle essentially had a nuclear meltdown

we made them our own sorta, think kinda like how aus take the base content and shift it slightly to the left (yes they can shift further out but for the sake of things here, just a little for now)

its a simple and easy option and i think people are a little afraid of ideas being too similar but being heavily inspired is better than being stuck

worlds are large and ocs are fictional have fun

i suppose for tips tho:

-figure out what really makes the ocs, well them, what major events and relations are required for them to stay as they are, keep those or find something similar enough to get the right outcome

-building a whole new world for them can be fun, but it can also get you stuck up in minute details or floundering to have everything explained, it's ok for characters to exist in a void until you can fill it with something (you should also ask shiax about this, his world building is always really fun and he's great for like, looking at how things actually work together, ie. if there's 2 moons, how does that impact things)

-frankly, don't be scared to just rehaul as well, some ideas simply won't work in certain contexts and you'll have to figure something else out

-you are free to play around, nothing is set in stone, make as many different possible worlds and lands and settings until you find the one that sticks people get stuck on making it right the first time and this applies to oc creation too

i know this doesn't really like, set you in a definite direction, but creation is fickle and whimsical like that

temporary pinned :p

hello! this (will be) the home of an upcoming cat comic called cats of the isle! currently i am going to be using this to post concepts and ideas i have before Fully embarking on creating the comic. just to test the waters, haha.

a short blurb for the comic:

"on an island cut off from the rest of the world, a small group of cats has thrived for moons without any external contact. not from the living, and more importantly, not from the dead. that is, until a young cat named plum begins speaking of strange apparitions and visions, ghostly cats that call to her from beyond the grave.

across the lake is world full of wonders that have yet to be explored... and plum may have to just take herself up on these ghosts' offers."

the comic obviously takes some inspiration from the warriors series, but a lot of it is also my own creation! i hope anyone who stumbles across this blog enjoys the story im creating :3

5, 25 and 31 for the ask game :3c

5. Favorite character dynamics (Duos, groups, etc.)

omg ok this one i absolutely LOVE how bbh interacts with the french. Like literally just the french and their bebou is one of my fav things, theyre all so kind to him and they have fun ints with him knjbhbj

25. Describe your quesadilla island sona (What would you do? Where would you live? What would you look like?)

OKAY SO ive done art for this one!!! my little fedsona!!! But i also have an islandersona!!!

My Fedsona is WA05 (cuz 5 is my fav number) theyre a little white bear worker whos a huge hopeless romantic NERD they have a crush on like 5 dif people at once and no way to express it without melting into a little bear puddle

my islandersona, my cubito, is based on my persona that i use for art !! They are a fallen angel/demon who was cast out of heaven for sins against the nature of humanity. In my cubitos lore they created their own version of the heavens and earths and hell, and gave pieces of their soul to do so. However this was against heavens rules, and they were cast out of heaven. They find solace in their creation, molding it to their liking without the restrictions of heaven, watching their people kill eachother and fall in love etc etc. They have no moral compass and dont really have a concept of good, evil, etc. Kind of how adam and eve were in the garden! Thats how all angels/divine beings are in the lore however. Some fallen angels can learn human morality but its not very common!

31. What lore/arc have you enjoyed the most?

This one is soooo hard because i joined at such an awkward time that im not elaborating on, BUT i think my favorite one has been BBH's death/rebirth cycle. I may be a little biased because hes my main pov but i prefer player based lore and angst and bad's lore so far has been VERY rewarding to his viewers. He's genuinely such a good writer, cant wait for more of his character

The Gods.

hihihihihihi, so basically this is mostly for @star-realities but im making it public cause yes. hope this is helpful so basically, im writing a book series, and my big idea was to make design gods for the world inspired by me and the friends i created the world for. there've been multiple versions of this series but the very first was based on me and 3 of my friends. I found it fitting to make us the gods of the world because if it weren't for us, the book nor the world it takes place in would exist.

so these are us, i made the photos on picrew (@/hunbloom). but anyways here's the actual lore. basically Achaii woke up one day bored as hell and said "damn, this thing we live in is bland as hell. imma spice it up" and grabbed their paintbrush and made the sky. Legends say they still paint the sky every night and morning.

Evanitis saw this and joined in making greenery. The two enjoyed their freedom and the other two watched. Zacharaea and Maion never really liked each other but they both loved Ace and Evan. Then Zach wanted to join in, so he and Evan made fire by accident. Zach, overwhelmed by pride cried, and Ace stepped in to make the oceans and rivers to store the tears of Zach and later on the others. The tear thing is important later. Mae blew the fire out to keep it from spreading, they all knew the power that their creations had.

After Mae had blown out the fire, the earth parted. Evan fixed it to be somewhat uniform afterward. (goodbye Pangea) They called their island Te Etearia Isle, later changed to The Ethereal Isles. Located off the southern coast of France.

After this, Evan created an herb he was fond of and decided to burn it, after he burnt it, he began creating whatever the fuck he wanted (yes, i'm implying he made weed)

One night the deities came together to create the first humans. They loved each other in VARIOUS different ways but it got lonely when it was just the 4 of them. Mae worked out the fine tuning of humans. Two arms, two legs, two lungs, a head, brain, and heart. Of course and so on. Each one of their first humans had their own special features but i haven't worked them all out yet.

Anyways, back to the tears thing. In my story, on their side (there's their realm and our side aka the boring non magic side) there are four bodies of water that are considered Tears of a God, which is written in Latin but I don't have a perfect translation for it yet. These bodies of water have special properties that vary depending on which god cried into them. They're all salt water cause yk, they're tears.

I have one for everyone but Evan, the only thing I know about his is that it's like The Yellow River in China, it's rough and prone to flooding for a very specific reason. But that reason is written in my history notebook that i left in my locker at school.

Ace's (well mine) is called Mourner's Peak, where there's multiple little ponds (or maybe geysers idk yet) each one evokes a different emotion. Mostly negative, but some positive.

Zach's is the original pond Ace had made for him to cry into when they made fire for the first time. That is the main portal, his tears make it possible to travel from each realm easily.

Mae's in a deep deep saltwater pond, under it is the cave where she locked away the other three gods. They're stuck under there for thousands of years.

also, the star over bethlehem where people say jesus was born is where the big fight between Mae and the others happened. The star was Ace fighting cause yk they're the deity of the cosmos and celestial magic. Also toying with the idea I wrote the bible as a joke and someone found it after we locked away and then continued it lmao.

anyways, that's it for now. if anyone has questions or wants me to go into more detail on anything, I will gladly do so. Also if you wanna hear more about my series in general, i will gladly ramble about it

really dig your redux, ive got my own im working on and its fun to see where things overlap and differ! funnily enough we both have possessed sols - but mine is just a disgruntled df cat who came to foretell the eclipse and sway the clans from starclan

Possessed Sols are the BEST

Sol being a god was an idea I had a couple of months ago, but it actually just started out with him and Midnight. Twin gods of creation.

Midnight spent a thousand years perfectly crafting the islands, digging the clay from the sea and scoring the lakes and rivers into being with her claws. She wove her own fur into the dirt, springing up as trees and grass and flowers. From the dust she crafted the animals, swift fish, mighty deer, scurrying mice, and to each carnivore she gave a piece of her heart.

And then Sol came along and invented the concept of England and ruined everything

It started off as a half-joke like a lot of my stuff does, but then I leaned into it more, drawing out Rock as a god as well, and then realizing that it would be an excellent way to give agency back to the Tribe if Sharptooth was supernaturally strong and they HAD killed him a bunch of times.

After all that I came back to Sol, and was considering nixxing the Harry & Cinders backstory completely since it didn't fit anymore. But that was around the time that @lockandkeyhyena started fighting the good fight (being unhinged about a character and changing the fandom's tune on them basically overnight) and there was suddenly new interest in those two

So what worked best for my rewrite was combining Harry and Cinders into the same person, and establishing that Harry needs just one more sacrifice before Sol gives him the power he wants. SkyClan and the Stranger is being reduxed into a story about Cinders/Harry choosing between the happy life he could have with friends and support as a SkyClan cat (everything he ever needed), OR the POWER he could have by stealing his last kit sacrifice and becoming the vessel of a GOD

I just find that personally more compelling than Harry being a lazy dipshit and just leaving Cinders as another overwhelmed mom demonized by the narrative. (Lizardstripe is also getting a revamp btw)

Glass Onion - I Love it. Watch it pls. now here’s my rant.

(Glass onion spoilers) theres something so cathartic about watching billionaires go out in flames, and their dignity being publicly destroyed. As a huge murder mystery fan, the Glass Onion was a movie I was very excited to see, (its the sequel of Knives Out!!), and murder mysteries are amazing okay—, the spicy mystery, plot twist, funky suspense, and satisfaction style of them was ever present in the movie, for me to sink my teeth into. what I didn’t expect was for it to deliver me the same hearty satisfaction I derive from watching Elon Musk make a fool of himself as he derails twitter. Its some👌good stufff

I wasn’t ever a twitter user, and my twitter knowledge all comes from social media aus on ao3. But the joy i feel at seeing Muskrat suffering, as he clambers for public gratification on the website he owns, and proceeds to fail miserably is so euphoric. And Glass Onion, it just has that same joy of watching someone you hate immensely be utterly destroyed, and have their own words twisted on them as they cannot escape the horror of their own creation.

I also didn’t expect the amogus. I’m dying. Im so happy we got an amogus appearance. It was even foreshadowing for the end of the movie as well??? And ALSO was world building for the 2020 earlier pandemic setting bro. Im dying. I love among us, and the other games mentioned, bc they are so fun to play with friends. They know their audience, their audience is me. Amogus is my lifeblood. Queer detective playing among us ? Yes. Yes pls. 0-0 All the characters are so fun to look at, but the main characters both go so hard for different reasons. Bless Helen/Andi, and Blanc. They have a permanent space in my brain now.

Also, slightly disheartened bc I saw a post about the first 20 minutes being boring, and im so sad bc that was such a juicy 20 minutes and thats such under-appreciation of this crucial part of ‘setting the scene’. It was done really craftily, the foreshadowing and most importantly world building and characterisation (ie. the masks) just making for the meat of the movie. Ive had to deal with the idea that maybe people were not expecting a murder mystery, but a more action-esque movie, and so if you can’t deal the set up in this movie, murder mysteries probably arent for you. There is too much necessary to build up, and this movie did it so well, that if you don’t like it at its best...well. The huge fireworks of gold top tier everything plot that just blow up later in the movie are sparked by this 20 minutes, you couldnt have an impactful conflict without this. And also I love me some terrible rich people that are unapologetically awful because its a murder mystery, and a Knives out Sequel, you aren’t going to watch those rich annoyances anything but suffer later.

Final notes: so glad that that random dude on the island, did end up being a red herring and had no involvement in anything, love him for that.
