LIMBO RESET MORE GEMS FOR PICKLES

[quitealotofsodapop]

Genderbending Laios:

Laios has that energy of; if he ever got genderbent in-canon, his overwhelming reaction would be "Oh! Cool!" followed by "Oh wait! Maybe I can be better friends with Shuro now!" :D

Reasons it happens:

Different variant of Changeling Mushrooms that changes the physical sex of the afflicted rather than the race.

Variant of Shapeshifter that affects a target rather than itself.

Cursed by an artifact made by a misogynist.

Cursed by an artifact made by a girlboss.

Got too curious observing a goddess/entity and got the Siproites treatment.

Accidentally killed a pair of mating monsters and got the Tiresias treatment.

Ate/Drank something they really shouldn't have.

Marcille really f-d up a spell.

Laios really f-d up a spell.

Deal with the Winged Lion went kinda weird.

Thistle did it.

Party Reactions:

Marcille is most horrified cus girl Laios be a terror to keep out of trouble + unsettling resemblance to Falin.

Chilchuck be fighting demons rn; Laios is now a tall, blonde, big thiddy'd woman with no sense of personal space. He is a separated married halffoot damn it! Also, as a dad of three daughters, he's the only one who's prepared to give awkward growing-up conversations fem!Laios should be getting!

Chilchuck: "Laios, that's not how you use a sanitary belt." Fem!Laios, wearing it outside of her pants: "Eh?"

Shuro also fighting demons rn! His potential love interest's annoying older brother is now an annoying older sister who's fixated on becoming closer to him! Also him realising that what attracted him to Falin in the first place is also present in Laios.

Kabru even more intrigued if thats even possible. Meeting a woman who claims to have lived as man - not so strange if Kabru is FTM, but its still a pleasant surprise!

Namari: "When did this happen?" Laios: "Not too long ago." Namari: "Congrats, I guess?" Laios: "Thanks!"

Senshi just hums and says "You need to eat more pickled vegetables. The salts are important for growing women."

Izutsumi is Izutsumi. Lady Laios's bed be warm even tho she pets her a lot. Mom shaped.

Laios' Reaction

That feel when you accidentally crack your own transfem egg with magic.

Something-something; "Women be considered less human in a patriarchal system" so Laios is pretty chill with the situation, albeit is disappointed she doesn't have any cool fangs or multiple heads.

She 100% tries to communicate with the women-shaped monsters, thinking there's now a new common ground. She nearly gets mobbed by harpies before the rest of the party can intervene.

The party have to constantly remind fem!Laios that she has to keep a shirt on around company (which she thinks is dumb) and to be careful when asking men extremely personal questions ("Why?" "They think you're flirting with them." "I can?" "NO!").

Wasn't told how periods or feminine hygiene stuff worked cus it was considered "obscene" for boys to know that stuff in their village. Laios thought she was dying the first time she got her period. Was annoyed/fascinated when Chilchuck managed to explain that it was a natural process.

Laios: "And this happens every month?" Chilchuck, flustered & annoyed: "Yes, if you're healthy." Laios: "When does it stop?" Chilchuck: "A few days at most." Laios: "No, I mean the whole monthly process." Chilchuck: "Uhh... no idea. Think it's different for Halffoots, but normally it sorta just stops when you're a lot older." Laios, pondering face: "Hmm. I must ask any older women we come across in future. I would not like to experience this when I'm old and creaky. Then again... maybe this it why women are more predisposed to using blood magic." Marcille, overhearing: "What does THAT mean!?"

Laios proceeds to bluntly ask Mrs Floke very impersonal questions when their parties overlap. Mr Floke chokes on his tea as the twins snicker at his flustered face. Mrs Floke just laughs, it's not her first time explaining budding womanhood to a young tallman.

Laios takes the opportunity in the Golden Country to wear the fancy dresses with Marcille. Doesn't like them too much tho - prefers plain airy dresses.

I just love girl Laios guys

[lilacs-stash]

@norazingrid I do dare to disagree /lh (my first fandom was mlp I have one million opinions on this)

Earth: Knife's character is very tied to physical strength, which fits earth pony magic. Same thing with Baseball, Blueberry, and Trophy. Apple is an apple. Applejack. Yes. Box Nickel Pickle Pepper and Dough it just feels right for.

Pegasus: Marsh has defied gravity in S1. Fan and Paper blow away in the wind. Toilet can fly. And OJ I like to draw with little juice wings. And Suitcase is the same character as Fluttershy 👍 /j

Unicorn: Mic would have sound based magic she'd have a hard time controlling. Lightbulb would have light based magic. TK's spout is horn shaped. You could give Tissues a broken horn. Bomb would have explosive magic and potential a broken horn as well. The Cherries stem is kinda horn shaped. Test tube and Cobs need magic to properly build their machinery

Hippogriff/Seapony: Balloon is both very bird and fish, Lifering is just a fish.

Batpony: Bow's triangles look like wings but also she was reintroduced in a Halloween special

Magic alicorn: For those who don't know this is what I consider Sunny Starscout and Sunset Shimmer. Basically you aren't physically an alicorn but have the magic of one. Candle's body is a unicorn, Silver's an earth pony, and Clover's a Pegasus.

Changeling hybrid: He could have the holes in his legs. Like cheese

Chageling: Bot's whole arc has to do with being in a body that isn't theirs and have bug theming, so changeling is perfect. Goo is a bug to me and just doesn't fit anything else. Taco is mostly here because of the invisibow and her hiding her arms.

Alicorn: I don't think I need to explain these ones Tbh

Kirin: They catch on fire when mad, so does Painty

Draconequus: Yang causes chaos it's one of his favorite activities. Also nothing else fits

Crystal Unicorn: only using the HC of them having crystal horns, so Salt would have a salt crystal for one

Yak: It just fits for Tyler. Potentially you could also make him a dragon

[awhphooey]

How did Dr. Pickle Pepper die? ☹️

Could you draw toa Merlin please lol

Warning yall now I was very, VERY mean to him.

Pickle is very quick, and it's very rare that Bular truly lands a hit on him when they go toe to toe. His size compared to Bular makes him hard to catch, which is an advantage. However, Pickle didn't know about the changelings, the changelings who are just as small and quick as he is. They end up catching him and bringing him to Bular, as a gift, but also to prove their loyalty to the gumm-gumms. (Specifically Strickler, who Bular thinks is getting too comfortable letting Nomura do the heavy lifting while he sits around with humans.)

When Bular gets hold of Pickle, he... lets just say Pickle's eyes go pop pop pop (he loses his eyes.) so even if Pickle manages to escape, it wont be very hard to catch him. He tries to pry the amulet off of him, tries to hurt Pickle until he can't keep the armor up, even tries to get him to relax so it falls. When none of that works, Strickler suggests an idea. Bular lets Pickle go. Tells him to "go run back home to daddy" and lets him out into Arcadia. Pickle, terrified and shaken, thinking Bular has given up for now, stumbles across town until he finds the canal. Right as he gets to the wall, ready to open Trollmarket and drop the armor, he smells Bular. He'd been so scared, so focused on getting home that he hadn't realized he was being hunted the entire way back.

They fight, real early in the morning just as Bular and Kanjigar had. Despite being blinded, Pickle knows his way around when it comes to climbing the bridge and is able to avoid Bular for just long enough for the sun to come up. Pickle doesn't realize he'd crawled directly into the sun until he's already halfway turned to stone and falling. Just like Kanjigar, Pickle shatters on the bottom of the canal and Bular is forced to wait until nightfall to get the amulet.

tldr bular blinds him, hunts him to trollmarket, and they fight on the bridge until pickle goes right into the sun and falls

and heres ur Merlin! :3

[cabco]

returning to this blog's roots, here some ii ponies :]

Taco is a changeling, Mepad is a alicorn*, Pickle is an earth pony.

ALRIGHT FOLKS. HELP ME OUT.

These are the prompts for my server's winter event. Send me ideas for one-shots for them, or else I'm just going to find a way to shoehorn the one-shot ideas already bouncing around in my head in there. I W I L L keep these short, by which I mean that I will only let two (2) get up to 18k in length and only if it's one of the two already rotting in my head, one of which will probably only be shown to @winntersnow and be more of a collection of snippets than anything else anyway.

@deadgirlwalking91 can probably guess what the other one is because i brainrotted at her about it recently and this is me telling her right now that if i write it and it ends up being a single word over 18k she is commanded to take me behind a barn and shoot me

ANYWAY. Ideas can be for Hazbin Hotel, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, or p o t e n t i a l l y Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'll write most ships, but see the tags for a more specific list and know that I also really love writing gen. G O.

I thought I'd give you an update on my Free Real A Cat. He's a complete cuddle bug! Though I did give him a bit of a scare today: he saw me unbraid my hair for the first time (it's quite long, and normally I handle it on the way to work) and completely freaked out: he dashed halfway up the stairs, turned around and *hissed* at me (I've never seen him do that before) and then tried to claw the scrunchie off my wrist. He was completely fine again once I had it braided back up.

Ahhhh thank you for the update on the Totally Free Cat!

GOD I love it when some element of your appearance changes unexpectedly, like you wearing a hat or cat ear headbands or a face mask or you unbraid your hair, and because they are so young relative to you they have never encountered it before and they act like you are some kind of malevolent changeling about to eat them headfirst like a snake. I feel bad for spooking them, but it's so funny.

Works for activities, too. Every time a new cat enters my life, I look forward to the moment when they realize what is actually happening in the shower. I have never had one react with anything other than existential dread besides Dried Pickle Man, who got in with me for a bit, decided it wasn't for him, and placidly departed. When Etrigan figured it out, the look of horror on his face was so profound, and yet he came to the edge of the tub to cry at me in concern. I cut things short and called him back in to reassure him I was not in fact being melted by acid.

And your character builder:

What's a simple daily/routine task they commonly mess up?

Izjik can't cook. In fact, she could probably burn water. It's not even a 'halawemavar perfer uncooked food' thing. Halawemavar pickle and smoke stuff. Izjik is just incapable of anything culinary.

Sepo is generally a pretty component person. One thing that eludes him though, is weather. He can't get it through his head that he lives above water now. Therefore, he has never once remembered an umbrella or sun hat, even though he's Mr. Sunburn himself.

Twenari is really bad at writing homework. The idea of putting her opinions and arguments down on paper confounds her. You take a look at her report card and it's straight A's except for literary composition.

Djek (like me) utterly despises doing laundry. He gets around this by having a clean and dirty basket, but his clothes are always kinda wrinkled and he doesn't know how to use an iron.

Astra is generally kind of forgetful, so her vardo can get super cluttered without her even realizing. She then gets overwhelmed by how dirty it is, so she leaves it, and it just gets dirtier. This wouldn't be so bad if half that clutter wasn't explosives and experimental alchemy.

Mashal, due to being made of metal, isn't great at a lot of common things due to his lack of tactile sensation. Buttoning buttons, writing, telling when things are hot or cold, not breaking delicate objects - he struggles with those and more. He also forgets a lot that he weighs about a thousand pounds, so he's ruined many a delicate chair.

Ivander also struggles with a lot of common things because of his curse. Eating is hard with chunks missing from his lips. Getting up in the morning is hard when his joints suck. Even paperwork is hard when his hands start to bleed after a while. Everything is difficult when your flesh is dissolving into mist.

Elsind wouldn't know, but compared to other changelings, he has a hard time keeping a solid form when he gets tired or distracted. This is probably because, compared to most, she hasn't had to hold one disguise for any extended period of time.

Avymere is terrible at pretty much any household task. As the child of an Archduke, they've never had to do any before. They're awful at grocery shopping because they don't know how much anything should cost. They'd probably manage to flood a kitchen if you asked them to do dishes. Which sucks, because they really want to be self-sufficient.

Thanks for the ask, this was a fun one!

[jeanjauthor]

One of my best friends from high school engaged in an international pen pal service. Many years later, she eventually married the Finnish man she had met through that letter exchange service (before the advent of the internet, but not too much before, lol). She now lives near Helsinki, but recently came back just this last month to visit many friends and remaining family members. (She can do the work-from-home thing which means she can work from just about anywhere so long as she has decent wifi.)

And she brought me Finnish chocolates (as she often does), which are less sweet than the kind you find in America, but quite good overall.

However, this time she brought a small bar as an experiment.

(The image is taken off of the Puhdistamo website.)

It's not a very big bar, about two fingers wide, a little bit more than finger-length long. But it was mint, and my friend knows I like mint.

Turns out, it does not taste like any chocolate I have ever had before. And the reason is in the "Raaklasuklaa" part of the name. Raw Chocolate*. (*Note, NOT a direct translation!)

What does that mean? Well...apparently...it's not fermented.

To clarify, chocolate goes through two (2) fermentation steps.

The first is when the pods are harvested, split open, and the seeds are scooped out and dumped into a pile with the pith (juicy bits) of the fruit, where they are lightly covered by leaves (iirc) and left to ferment in the open for a week or so.

Then they go to be cleaned, roasted, shelled, winnowed, ground, mixed with other stuff, special treatments of temperatures, etc...and then they get poured into bars that are then set aside for literal months to continue fermenting. This is the second round of fermenting.

I am not certain which step was skipped (it could be both for all I know), but this chocolate is not fermented.

Now, we mostly think of fermenting as being alcoholic (because drinks!), but it's not. Technically, pickles are fermented. Sauerkraut is fermented. This is a not-alcoholic-in-nature fermentation process that normal chocolate bars go through, to develop the rich, strong flavors that make chocolate so distinctive.

But in this Raakasuklaa bar...?

It's raw, not fermented.

The flavors are there, but they're very very subtle. The mint is much stronger. And like many things in Europe, it's not very sweet, so the mint is the highest riding note, but it's not overly sweet. (Kinda like spearmint gum, in fact.) Aside from the mint, it's mostly a texture that you notice. (Not an unpleasant one, just there's more texture than flavor...?)

I think this is a chocolate bar that those who cannot stand strong flavors would like.

Which makes me think of my fellow author Nalini Singh, and her Psy-Changeling universe, where the psy race underwent a century of emotionless existence in order to learn enough discipline to control their psychic powers. In order to ensure that cool logical attitude, they developed a lot of foods that were, well, bland. Because strong flavors provoke strong emotions.

This is a chocolate bar that would be consumed by the psy in Nalini's created world. it's a good bar that is remarkably mild Even if something is mild-mannered, that doesn't mean it's bad. It's simply something different.

If you are curious (and can get your hands on some), I say, why not give it a try?

(Just don't go into the experience expecting a strong flavor sensation.)

[wisterias-in-bloom]

Lynn Wisteria Felix.

The art in the center is my drawing, so credits to me for doing one good thing in life<3.

Name: Lynn Wisteria Felix.

Age: 25.

Gender identity and Sexuality: Genderfluid, bi.

Pronouns: he/them.

Race: Changeling.

Class and subclass: Sorcerer, wild magic (chaos origin in the Bellowing Wilds universe).

Canonic romance in BG3: Astarion<3 (trauma babies help each other healing)

Appearance:

Long white hair are braided carefully while leaving his overgrown bangs to roam free on his head. his eyes are like a void that eats your soul as you stare into them. His skin is pearlescent, almost looking like a sheet of parchment.

He's around 6'5, and has a slutty little waist.

The particularity with him is in his right hand. Since he was a newborn his curse has manifested physically as a curious type of vitiligo. It started small, just a finger, and slowly expanded until it reached his shoulder and part of his neck.

He likes rings. In fact, he keeps a golden band on his middle finger. Talking about his hands, they are slender, the hue of the blood flowing underneath is a shadow on them. He keeps his nails well curated, grown in stiletto and painted with black lacquer. He wears tightly fitting button ups that usually have frills around the cuffs, yet always makes sure to expose part of his chest by leaving a few buttons open. He wears a necklace that he- let's say found before meeting his friends. He's very attached to it because of the resemblance with him. He wears leather pants that hug his body finely, matched with a pair of leather boots that keep the cuffs of the pants secured underneath.

Likes and dislikes:

He likes writing, he has kept a diary since he has met Jenneleth, his companion in countless of quests. he likes music, and humming while trying to stay sneaky is his biggest flaw, though his companions enjou his voice before bed as he sings them all to sleep. He despises lies, dishonesty, hurting weaker beings, and abuse. He also hates pickles.

Personality:

He's a sassy, straightforward person, never shying away from putting someone in line or giving his - most of the times- unwanted opinion. On the flip side, he has trust issues. He won't open up until he can be sure he's safe and you are not going to judge him. Beyond that he's a loving man when you get to know him, if he grows to call you his friend, he will make sure he's going to protect you at the cost of his life.

He's very insecure, and he will make jokes about it without hesitation, but to truly get to know him, you gotta dig deep and earn it.

Get to know him:

What is sadder than a lonely person? A lonely person that has lost hope.

Lynn was born in a small changeling village, where everyone took care of each other. He has grown in a very loving family that reminded him daily that his curse was okay.

Was it actually ok? No, Lynn grew up being bullied by his peers, especially when it came down to magic, which was supposed to be natural to him. Yet his inability to control the energy that flows through his body made sure he could never prove himself worthy. No one ever dared to defend him, until the lovely Tryx waltzed in and took his side. Little did he know she was going to be the reason he lost it all.

Years layer, when he turned 20, he was ready to settle down, maybe have kids, or maybe just travel with his beloved, yet when he was about to reach his happiness, tragedy had to push him off the ledger.

One night, he jolts up at the smell of smoke. Everything around him was too hot. He didn't hesitate to tumble down the stairs and search for his parent, only to be greeted by their corpses at the end of the last step.

He did all he could, pulling them out of the house and trying to save their life, but it was too late.

It was too late cause he looked around him, and his home was not the only building on fire. The whole village was burning down, families were exhaling for the last time when it dawned on him.

He never run so fast, skipping steps as he made his way towards Tryx's bedroom, but he was once more too late.

He gathered her, cradled to his chest, and brought her out. He sobbed for hours on her corpse until he realized he was lonely.

And that's where it began. He doesn't tell the tale of his travels, or how he gifted Jenneleth a necklace, or how he almost witnessed his world's apocalypse, nor how he ended up in faerun, but he's finally taking the chance and look for himself.
