Hehe I want to return the favor and ask which of YOUR blorbos (Pokemon or not, your choice) would get way into a snowball fight and which would be watching from inside, cozy and warm

Okay so let's start with the Pokemon blorbos and see how many others I remember off the top of my head after that.

Cynthia: She's a Sinnoh girl born and raised, woe to anyone who faces her on the field of snowy battle. Fortunately for the children of Eterna City, she doesn't engage in snowball fights too often. (Though she did teach Gardenia and Candice a few things) Her Garchomp, nesting for the winter in heated blankets and pillows, needs near-constant attention due to being a spoiled little shark baby. Sometimes a Luxury Ball just isn't enough.

Courtney: Team Magma is no stranger to the art of snowball fights. Each winter in Hoenn, Pokemon battles for territory and glory against Team Aqua are often substituted with elegant volleys of frigid projectiles. Courtney studies optimal formations, develops methods of constructing advanced snow forts, and brews the finest hot cocoa to keep their troops' morale up while in the trenches. Despite having long since established the rules of engagement for their winter warfare, both sides cheat. Shelly is irritatingly skilled at sabotage and subterfuge.

Guzma: The only place where snow happens naturally on Alola is on the peak of Mount Lanakila, and Guzma's specialty is Bug-types. Safe to say that he and the rest of Team Skull would be staying inside if they were ever caught in a snowstorm somehow.

Zinnia: She gets way too intense about it after Lisia teaches her the basics. Snowballs with gravel inside, snow-sludge balls aimed between the gaps in her opponents' "armor", close-quarters grappling while threatening some poor teen with an icicle dagger. Zinnia respects opponents who fight back, and enjoys the chase when they try to flee. She'd probably try to use Rayquaza to summon a hailstorm if she ever found herself on the losing side. Meanwhile Lisia got too cold after 5 minutes and went back inside to have hot cocoa with her uncle Wallace while she waits for her GF to finish annihilating the competition.

Drayden, Iris, Looker, and Drasna would all stay inside, not much more to say about them. Moving on to the non-Pokemon blorbos, beneath the cut because this post's already long.

Normally Entrapta's fine with staying inside in her furnace heated science-castle and eating mini-cookies with her hot cocoa, but if Frosta invited her to a snowball fight she'd probably find some way to enjoy it. Building some sort of automatic snowball packing machine, maybe. Unfortunately she probably couldn't use her hair as throwing arms since that'd just make her get cold even faster. Hordak definitely isn't leaving the house, his scrawny ass can barley handle autumn.

Speaking of scrawny dramatic nerds who can't handle cold temperatures, Dirk Strider is from a distant future bad ending Earth that flooded due to global warming, spending his childhood living in the ruinous seascape that used to be Texas. No way in hell that guy's staying outside once it dips below 60, maybe 50 degrees F.

You'd think Princess Rosalina would be solidly in the "Goes hard in a snowball fight" category, since she has magic telekinesis-gravity powers and her Mario Kart maps indicate that she enjoys winter weather. Only one problem: She's used to being almost entirely alone. Lumas can't pack snowballs with their tiny stub arms. Thus, Rosalina is firmly in the "enjoying hot cocoa indoors" category, likely cuddling on a couch next to Samus Aran.

Lastly, Hunter Noceda would definitely take a snowball fight way too seriously. He may or may not win, but he'll certainly have fun doing it. Willow might not have full access to her usual plant magic in a winter climate, but that won't stop her from winning.

[amessageonthewind]

🚗 for the ask game??

do you have a driver's license? if you don't, does that really stop you from driving?

Technically I'm not supposed to fly without the Fortree Gym Badge, but that's never stopped me before so why should it now?

You really should get it. It'd be easy for you to beat Winona and get a Badge, so why not just get it out of the way so that you don't have to risk getting in trouble?

Who's gonna stop me? The Sky Police?

...got me, there.

[aloura-region-official]

Hello. Does your kingdom have specific jobs that are important to do? What about religious practices?

@sirenintheveil

I mean my job as the Lorekeeper is very important especially since we haven't had one in a very long time and a lot of our ancient records are missing.

Also geneticists! They are trying to figure out exactly why some people are born hybrids!

As for religious practices the soulbinding ritual is very important for the trainers in Aloura. We also have various festivals for the legendaries and mythicals.

they lied about him lorekeeper.

Oh…? Who must you be taking about?

[dullahandyke]

Kingdom hearts the game series of all time. It's a technothriller, it presents you with lore in a confusing and unreliable way because all the lorekeepers have imperfect knowledge and their own agendas, it's dripping with plurality, it's a story about how your home is cursed and you cannot escape it and you have to leave it, it's an intertextual exploration of childhood and growing up, it's got ancient clans of child soldiers with robed leaders in animal masks, it shows you ten different versions of the same character and makes you ask which ones are distinct and which ones are real and what the difference is, it defines the Heart as quantifiable discrete proof of sentience and circles edge cases and asks things like what happens when it's fractured and how does the lack of a heart impact your personhood and can you imbue a heart upon that which never had it and the answer is yes because pinocchio

Can't Risk Losing You

⋆｡°✩ Pairing: Law x Reader

⋆｡°✩ Summary: Law’s lover gets kidnapped by a vengeful pirate, and she almost dies.

⋆｡°✩ Lorekeeper's Notes: I know I said Tuesday, but I was busy over the weekend and school is a pain.

The sun beamed down on the Polar Tang as it docked on a small island. It had been several days since the Heart Pirates had been out at sea, and upon seeing an island across the horizon, Law thought it best to head over for a resupply. Once the submarine was secure and tucked away, you head to the deck, feeling the warm breeze. Being cooped up inside always makes you grateful for the outside, even if the sun ends up too bright upon exit.

“The weather’s great, Law!” You called out behind you, seeing your captain step outside, followed by the rest of the crew. Law took his place by your side, examining the area as the crew took some time to stretch after the long travel. You giggled as you watched as Bepo lied down on his stomach, recovering from the heat that came with riding the Polar Tang.

“Oi, Bepo, get up, birds might think you’re a new floor rug.” Penguin joked, leaning on the mink with his arm.

“Sorry.” Bepo apologized, sticking his tongue out to cool off. Law turned around to address his crew.

“Everyone, we’ll be only staying here for a day or two. Be sure to get all necessary supplies we need and don’t cause any trouble.” He ordered, pleased as he heard a simultaneous “Yes Captain!” Law then turned to face you, meeting your gaze with a more softened expression. “Y/n-ya, will you go into town with everyone?”

You looked over to Bepo, seeing as he was still panting and struggling to cool down. “I’ll stay here with Bepo. You guys go have fun.”

“Ehh. Bepo will be fine here, come join us explore the island!” Shachi invited, nudging you playfully and snickering as he noticed Law glance his way with an annoyed look.

“It’s okay, besides, someone’s got to watch over the ship.” You walked over to Bepo, patting him on the back. “And Bepo.”

“Thank you.” Bepo smiled at your kindness, a breath of fresh air from Penguin and Shachi’s teasing. You returned his smile and sat next to him.

“You guys go on ahead, just be sure to bring back some snacks!” You assured. Law nodded and turned around, hopping off the ship.

“You heard her, let’s go.” He called as the rest of the crew followed suit, leaving the ship. He knew you could handle guarding the ship, and with Bepo around, he had nothing to worry about.

Soon it was midday, and the others still hadn’t returned. You and Bepo were still on the deck, Bepo was drawing a map as you lied down to enjoy the sun, arms behind your head. You were both startled as a den den mushi rang, coming from Bepo’s pocket. He reached into his pocket and answered the call.

“Hello?” He spoke into the microphone. You sat up to listen in, in the event that the call was for an emergency.

“Bepo! Go into town! They have a cheap price on all the fish in the market!” Shachi spoke, a hint of excitement in his voice. “Help us buy and carry them!”

“Fish…” Bepo’s mouth watered as he spoke in a dreamy way, already imaging all the delicious seafood in the market. You couldn’t help but laugh, despite being a trained warrior and pirate, he was still very much a polar bear mink.

“Go ahead, Bepo.” You gestured to the town. “Go find Shachi and Penguin.”

“Eh? But I’m supposed to guard the ship with you!”

“I’ll be fine here.” You reassured with a pat on his back.

“You heard her, Bepo, c’mon!” Penguin spoke up, sounding almost impatient, as if they had been waiting on him for a while. Bepo glanced back and forth between you and the den den mushi, ultimately giving in because of the warm, reassuring smile on your face.

“Okay.” Bepo got up on his feet, hanging up the call. “I’ll be back as soon as I can!”

“Be sure to get some good fish, I’ll cook us all a delicious dinner with it.” Bepo smiled and gave you a hug before running off, racing to the town’s market. You giggled and sat back down to continue relaxing.

You were caught off guard when you heard loud footsteps board the ship. Quickly scrambling on your feet, you notice several pirates surrounding you on the deck. You were quick to reach for your sword, drawing it as you assessed the number of enemies you’d have to fight. You grit your teeth, knowing there were too many for you to handle. The best choice was to run as soon as there was an opening.

You could hear the jeers and hurls of insults towards you, and toward Law. You tried to fight as they approached, taking them down with swordsmanship taught to you by your lover. You held your ground, putting up a fierce fight against the pirates, looking for any opening in their attacks. Scratches, bruises and cuts started to litter your skin from the relentless barrage of swords swung your way. Then, the path was clear. You raced down the deck, hoping to rush into town and get help from your crew. You stumble off the Polar Tang, scrambling to your feet to continue running.

“I don’t think so, lass!” You hear a gruff voice from behind roar. You feel a heavy impact to the back of your head, and your vision fades to black.

Law headed to the town market, noticing that the townspeople seem to be preparing for a fair. He took a look around, seeing the unopened stalls and the cheerful people all around. As he passed by one of the few opened stores, a trinket caught his eye. it was a jewel necklace that reminded him of your eyes. Before he could pick it up, a loud voice called out to him.

“Oi! Captain!” He heard Penguin call out. Law turned around, surprised to see Shachi, Penguin and Bepo together. Bepo had a huge tuna fish hauled on his shoulders as the other two carried a bag of groceries each.

“Bepo? Weren’t you with Y/n-ya?” Law asked, walking up to his crewmates.

“She told me I could go into town to help Shachi and Penguin buy fish for dinner.” Bepo replied, patting the fish he carried. “We were about to head back.”

Law stared at the trio, getting a bad feeling at the thought of you left alone on the ship. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something had happened to you.

“I’m going back to the ship, tell the others to return as soon as they can.” Law turned to leave, brisk walking to the direction of the shore. The trio, though confused, obeyed their captain’s command and ran off to separate directions. They didn’t dare question their captain’s intuition, trusting his decisions wholeheartedly no matter how odd they were. They quickly gathered up the crew, heading back to the Polar Tang with haste. When the crew arrived, they found Law on the deck, a note tightly grasped in his hands. He crushed the note in his hands, an intimidating, enraged aura surrounding the Heart Pirates’ Captain. Clutching his sword tightly, he turned around and faced his crew.

“What happened, Captain? Where’s-” Bepo was cut off as Law hopped off the deck and back to shore.

“Y/n-ya was taken by pirates. They threaten to kill her if I don’t go to that mountain alone.” Law pointed behind them, to an odd mishapen mountain with a large cliff. “All of you wait closeby, at the foot of the mountain. I’ll save her, and if we don’t return by nightfall, you have my permission to climb up.”

“But it could be a trick-” Law cut off Penguin this time.

“Trick or not, I will not risk a member of our crew getting hurt. You will all wait for my command or if I don’t return by night. Am I clear?”

“Yes, captain!” The crew spoke simultaneously, giving a small salute.

“Good.” Law headed off, his crew trailing behind him a good distance away.

“Pipe down, lass!” The pirate captain yelled at you, throwing a punch to your face to quiet down your muffled screams. You were bloodied and bruised, mouth taped shut to prevent and cries from being heard. The captain had you tied to a chair, with it being close to the mountain cliff. The captain and his crew tortured you relentlessly, punching, kicking, slashing, every attack they could inflict on you was dealt. You had become numb to the pain as your blood started to pool by your feet. “What’s taking your captain so long? Abandon you, did he?”

You huffed, glaring at the burly man as you struggled in your restraints once more. The pirate captain merely laughed at your anger and plight, brushing it off.

“I said pipe down, lass. Scream all you want later when I throw you onto the jagged spikes below!” He laughed boisterously, shoving your chair to faces the large stalagmites below. Your eyes widen and you try to move away, to which the captain pulled you back forcefully. He shoved you to the ground, making your vision blur and mind dizzy. He set you back up, like a display for when the Heart Pirates’ captain arrives. “I’m going to make your captain watch you fall down there, lass.”

“I won’t let you do that.” Law’s steely voice called out from within the woods. He stepped out, eyes burning with a rage you had never seen before when his eyes landed on your barely conscious figure.

“So you finally arrive, Trafalgar Law! Do you remember me?” The rival captain smirked proudly, a dark gleam in his eye.

“I can’t be expected to remember every pirate I meet.” Law’s response angers the pirate, and he raised his cloak, revealing an empty space on the left side of his chest.

“You stole my heart, lad! Sold it to those damned World Government dogs to get your status as a Warlord!” The pirate captain madly grinned, with Law narrowing his eyes. “Rumour has it this lass is the one who stole your heart. An eye for an eye.” Law grew tired of the pirate’s tirade, raising his arm. “Careful, I placed a bomb on her! Move her from that spot and a bomb goes off!”

Your lover was unfazed by the captain’s threat, not that such an amateur could ever best him. “Room! Shambles!” In an instant, you were close to Law, but he was shocked to see there was not a bomb on you. When he realized it was a trick, it was too late. The captain had lunged and stabbed through you, piercing through your chest and hitting Law’s shoulder. If Law was angry before, he was furious now. He cut the enemy’s sword in two, shoving him aside and chopping him to pieces. Law pointed his sword to the captain’s neck, a silent threat on his life should he pull something like this again. He then heard your cough, to which Law moved to your side, untying the ropes and carrying you in his arms.

“Law…” You muttered softly, coughing onto his clothes. He looked down at you with a serious yet gentle expression. He pulled you close, bringing you out of the woods. The Heart Pirates were down below, standing by the defeated enemy crew.

They were about to greet the two of you, but stopped when Law gave a fierce. “Not now.”

You were swiftly brought to the Polar Tang, straight to the operating room. As he laid you down on the table, the crew prepared Law’s tools, bringing it over on a cart. Once you were hooked up to the necessary machines, he operated on you with care and precision, his heart heavy at the sight of how beaten you were. Once the operation was over, you were placed on an infirmary bed and brought to your shared room, where he could watch over you.

After a couple of days, you finally stirred awake. Your body felt weak and groggy, mind hazy as you tried to look around. You heard the door open as a tray drops to the floor. You hear a gasp, Bepo’s if you had to guess. You could hear him hurriedly leave and call for Law, who rushed to your side immediately. His eyes dart across your body, checking for anything amiss. Once it was all clear, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“How are you feeling? You were stabbed in the chest, and…” Law shook his head. “I’ll spare you the details, you’re weak, don’t try to move.” His expression became stern. “Do you understand what almost happened to you, Y/n-ya? You almost died, why didn’t you run? Or try to call me? Better yet, you could’ve gone with Bepo at the market!” He scolded, taking a moment to compose himself slightly. “We could’ve lost you, I could’ve lost you! Don’t you understand?! I can’t lose you too!” You flinch at his outburst, causing him to pause and take a deep breath. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you. I’m just worried. I can’t risk losing you, not when I have the power to protect you.”

Your hand twitched, and you mustered all the strength you had to place your hand over his. The wordless action brought him the comfort he needed, what he needed to ground himself. It wasn’t right, he should be doing that for you, not vice versa. But it calmed him. You’re here. You’re safe. He could scold you all he wanted once you recovered, but for now, he needed to be by your side, be your rock, and let you know that he would be there for you. Placing a kiss atop your head, he sat at your bedside, promising to be there for you no matter what.

if you're still doing these: 🐯 📨 and 👻!

🐯 would you rather fight 100 baby sized tigers or one tiger sized baby?

An Incineroar sized baby sounds easy. I'd rather try my luck against the 100 Littens. Sounds like fun >:}

Don't you have enough scars from tussling with your own Dragon-type Pokemon?

And what's a few more?

📨 how full is your spam box on your email? you should really empty that out...

The only email I have is my official email with the League (barf). It was required for me to operate as Opelucid City's Gym Leader, but since that's the only thing I use it for, my inbox is pretty sparse most of the time.

And... when was the last time you checked it?

Couple days ago, why?

👻 BOO!!!!!!!! did i scare you haha

Nah, but it was cute of you to try, teehee >:}

[cookie-lore-keeper]

Hi, LoreKeeper. I was thinking... 2 years ago, I finished the story "The Mermaid's Tale" during this update back in 2023, could you gave me a recap about what happened to White/Black Pearl Cookie?

A Mermaid's Tale Recap/The Origins of Black Pearl Cookie

A Mermaids Tale is the story of how the kind and gentle mermaid, White Pearl Cookie, descended into a bitter siren of hate named Black Pearl Cookie.

History Archive

White Pearl Cookie wakes on the day of her Sea Foam Rite ceremony; a ceremony where gem mermaids get their special powers from the Almighty Sea. But, instead, the Sea herself visits White Pearl Cookie! The sea tells her that she is a small moon and will shine brightest when there is no light. Before the Almighty Sea can finish, she is cut short. At the end of the ceremony, despite the great events, White Pearl Cookie doesn't gain any powers. Devastated and overwhelmed, White Pearl Cookie swims off. Frilled Jellyfish follows in pursuit, desperate to make sure her lady is okay. But, to their shock and horror, White Pearl Cookie is captured by pirates!

_____________________________

White Pearl Cookie's sister's devise a plan to go save their baby sister. On the ship, a cookie named Abalone devises a plan. When the eclipse comes, the cookies of the sea will be at it's weakest, and that's when he and his crew will rob the sea of its riches. Afyer meeting White Pearl Cookie and finding out the gem mermaids are real, he plans to captute the rest of them. Another Cookie, Lord Oyster (just.. Lord Oyster. 'Not Lord Oyster Cookie'), ends up meeting White Pearl Cookie in the tank that she is trapped in. White Pearl Cookie and Lord Oyster talk one-on-one, and the two get along. He visits her more and more, and eventually, White Pearl Cookie tries her best to get Lord Oyster to set her free and just before he can give an answer, the boat is attacked by White Pearl Cookie's oldest sister, Crimson Coral Cookie!

Lord Oyster realizes that the only way to get Crimson Coral Cookie to stop is if he frees White Pearl Cookie. So, he goes against hid captains wishes and pushes her tank into the water.

______________________________

White Pearl Cookie happily reunites with her eldest sister, but Crimson Coral Cookie wants to destroy the boat and those cookies once and for all. White Pearl Cookie stops her, as she doesn't want to hurt Lord Oyster. Crimson Coral Cookie understands and her and her sister retreat.

Meanwhile, on the ship, the crew is thankful thst Lord Oyster's thinking managed to save the ship. The cookies are also starting to question Captain Abalone Cookie after they realized that he would rather save the goods than his own crew-mates. Fearing a mutiny, Abalone Cookie kicks Lord Oyster off of the ship, and Lord Oyster falls into the ocean.

______________________

While in the ocean, White Pearl Cookie spits him and gives him the ability to breathe underwater, as well as not making his dough soggy. The two go on to have a cute little date, and White Pearl Cookie tells him about her and the Gem mermaids. The two promise to meet again in the future.

When Lord Oyster reminds White Pearl Cookie of the eclipse, White Pearl Cookie starts talking about how she fears that the sea doesn't truly love her, but Lord Oyster reminds her that the sea called her "Little Moon", and how she can shine in her own. He then calls her, "My Moon." Touched by his words, White Pearl Cookie gives Lord Oyster the most important thing to her; her White Pearl. With it, Lord Oyster won't turn soggy in the sea. She says that once he has completed all his goals, they will be able to meet again.

_____________________________

Lord Oyster's words ring in White Pearl Cookie's head, so she swims to the Tear to find answers. She touches the Pearl to speak with the Almighty Sea and feels power surge within her, and the Almighty Sea herself speaks to her. The Sea tells her that her power allows her to shine when there is no light. That gave White Pearl Cookie courage.

But, her happiness couldn't last for long, because the eclipse was beginning. And that's when Abalone Cookie and his crew attacked, but her sisters managed to drive them away. The Sea basically hypes White Pearl up as that's happening.

_____________________________

Abalone Cookie, wanting to get back to capturing the mermaids, decides to buy the pearl off of Lord Oyster and use it to convince the other sailors to go along with capturing the gem mermaids. While Lord Oyster refuses, he eventually does accept Abalone's offer, with the promise that it will bring his family out of it's slump.

Eventually, Abalone succeeds on convincing the other sailors, and he goes back with his crew to capture the mermaids. Lord Oyster hears him and rushes to see White Pearl Cookie.

______________________

As another eclipse happens and the gem mermaids are at their weakest , Abalone and his crew strike again. White Pearl Cookie's sister's order her to stay hidden, as she is the weakest of them, but she feels bad and like she could do more to help, so she disobeys their wishes. She swims to the surface to help two young mermaids, but comes across Frilled Jellyfish Cookie. Frilled Jellyfish Cookie follows her and the mermaids she was bringing back to safety. She tries to convince White Pearl that it's dangerous to go back up, but it's no use. In her anger, White Pearl Cookie lashes out at Frilled Jellyfish and swims off to the Tear to gain more power. But, a land Cookie had followed her there.

Frilled Jellyfish Cookie swoops in coming to fight him off with her lady. But, as she does, a horrible accident happens; Frilled Jellyfish Cookie is stabbed through the chest by a spear. In her dying moments, Frilled Jellyfish Cookie assures her thar Jellyfish never truly die, and that she'll be back. Still, White Pearl Cookie had just lost her closest friend. But, knowing that she will one day return gives White Pearl Cookie the courage to swim yp to the surface once more to try and take on the attackers. But, she is captured by Abalone Cookie. And, while she is in the net, she sees her Pearl. The Pearl that she gave to Lord Oyster.

_________________

Lord Oyster is finally able to meet up with White Pearl Cookie after White Pearl manages to escape the net. He tries his best to apologize and explain, but it doesn't work, as he has betrayed her so deeply. She leaves him out at sea, vowing to never meet him again.

_____________

White Pearl Cookie is captured (again) by Abalone Cookie. Crimson Coral Cookie comes to her rescue, but instead of waiting to be saved, White Pearl Cookie actively chooses to fight alongside her sisters. But, their energy wanes, and it seems that all hope is lost. But, lucky for them, the Almighty Sea was listening. With the sound if war and the tears of pearls, the Almight Sea rises, and makes her last attempt to reach the moon.

The sea rises higher and higher up into the heavens. But, just as she is about to touch her moon, the fatal mistake of dropping her sword comes back to bite her, and her entire body freezes, which creates the Tower of the Frozen Waves.

White Pearl Cookie realizes that, if she wants to defeat these cookies, she'll need the strength of the sea.

_________________________

White Pearl Cookie goes to the Tear for a final time. Pleading to the Almighty Sea, she touches the Pearl. But, the grief and pain of the Almighty Sea combined with her own is too much to bare, and it transforms her into a Siren of bitterness, power, and hate. A siren named Black Pearl Cookie.

With Black Pearl Cookie's great power, she destroys everything. The land cookies, Tearcrown- everything. Her sisters (and revived Frilled Jellyfish Cookie) were forced to flee from their transformed sister's wrath.

With that, Black Pearl Cookie no longer felt any love in her heart. Only a bitter hatred for Cookie Kind. Now, she lays in the Duskgloom Sea, sinking any ship that comes to her kingdom of solitude.

[aloura-region-official]

I have so many questions! Hope it's okay if I ask a few in one post!

1.) Are all the humans/trainers in Aloura hybrids of some sort? If not, can a hybrid baby be born to totally human parents?

2.) Are some types of hybrids more common than others? I.e. Mew?

3.) Do Pokémon just exist there as well like in any other region?

(@leafylilpokemon)

For the first one I did answer this previously but I'm glad to answer again. Yes a hybrid baby can be born to completely human parents it's something in the people of Aloura's genetics also even if you are a specific pokemon hybrid and you marry another hybrid of the same kind that doesn't even necessarily mean your offspring will be the same as you both are, the researchers in the region havent figured out why this is yet

Usually legendary hybrids are royalty of some kind but that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't show up in other people.

And yes pokemon do just exist here as in any other region.

[lilderitter]

Endings are Hard. But so are Beginnings.

Hi all!

I'm Lil. I'm showing up on tumblr under my own name for once because I was one of the writers for Blades of Light & Shadow 2 and 3 as well as being the designated lorekeeper. (I also worked on Cursed Heart 2 (and was the facial reference for the Fae version of Longclaw, hence the icon), as well as Kiss of Death and Murder at Homecoming, and I was the lead writer on Villainous Valentines and the Blades Tabletop Guide.

I was one of the many people who were laid off by Pixelberry when the Cursed Heart team was dissolved over a year ago now. But my final contribution to PB canon, Blades of Light and Shadow 3, officially finishes its wide release today. The layoff was traumatic for a lot of reasons, but it did offer me the strange silver lining of getting to be on both the brainstorm team for Blades 3 and being the person who wrote the initial drafts of the book. I was not the book lead, to be clear, but I'm honored to have gotten to work for Emi and to have been gifted the absolute privilege to act as an archaeologist in the world of Morella and beyond in Blades 2 & 3. I especially loved writing the lore tablets and found objects like Nifara's letter, Kade and Tyril's poetry and songs (and Kade and Bakshi in general, my beautiful bards), the Old Gods, Mal and Tyril's romance routes, and both Mal and Raine's mental health journeys.

Since I wasn't the lead, not everything I wrote made it in, and there's some stuff that even ended up on my own personal cutting room floor for Blades 3 (mostly due to length). I got nostalgic over the weekend, and found a longer version of one of Tyril's poems that I thought y'all might like to see, so I've included it below as thanks for everything y'all have given the Blades team. You are what made the sequels happen, especially Blades 3.

Because I figure you might be looking for more stuff like Blades now that we've come to what I dearly hope is a bittersweet but satisfying end, I did want to shout out the art I was consuming when we were working on Blades 3:

Not Another D&D Podcast - If you're a fan of Dimension 20 (and who isn't?), you know the brilliant work of Emily Axford and Brian Murphy, but Jake Hurwitz's hilarious and heartfelt himbo fighter Hardwon from Campaign One was my direct inspiration for the voice of Nithrax. (Wanda Maximoff was Midys's, if ya couldn't tell. An autistic queen.) But truly pick any of NADDPOD's campaigns (or Dungeon Court), and you'll have a great, hilarious, and surprisingly poignant time.

Transplanar RPG "The Second Stranger" Show and Podcast - Mercer? Lee Mulligan? Iyengar? You know them, you love them, but I guarantee you've never heard someone like Transplanar's Dungeon Master Connie Chang. His work is poetic, visceral, and wickedly funny in a way that is, might I say, otherworldly, and her cast is magnificent. "The Second Stranger" is an all trans, POC led actual play show about a group of misfits who have to save their world's gods before they can save the world. It is also shippy (and gay) as fuck. Truly, if you wanted the Blades gang to be a polycule, this is the show for you.

Baldur's Gate 3 and The Dungeons & Dragons Movie - the new and worthy additions to the canon. If you haven't tried 'em please do.

Anyway. The poetry is below the cut (please be nice. Tyril is a baby writer.) and I'm feeling some kind of way so if you have lore questions (or questions in general), feel free to drop 'em in my inbox and I can try to answer them. They'll be non canon answers and I can't talk about PB's internal processes in detail, obvi, but I did hang around with the fire with Kade a fair time so I know a thing or two. (And if you like any of my recommendations, I'm always up for chatting about them!) P.S. Don't worry about me. I actually work at Chapters now, and my first book was high fantasy as well (primarily Norse and Celtic mythology). I'm also working on a new indie game with some other Pixelberry layoff casualties including some incredible artists, the head writer of the Cursed Heart, The Crown and the Flame, and It Lives series. (They are the same person can you imagine???), and the writer who gave us that scene at Joaquin's apartment in LoA2. (You know the one.) We hope to be able to tell y'all more about it soon.

Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. It has truly an honor and a privilege to work for these characters. And for you.

[A behind the scenes note, I always told myself that translated Morellan Elven/Elvish tends to lack the full poetry of the original because they have more words for things than the human tongue does. Part of this is just that we were working with only a few references from Book 1 and added as we went, but i also liked the idea that a culture this old (and a culture partially founded by a storyteller) would be difficult to translate to a younger language like Morellan. So if the poetry's bad, I blame the imaginary translation.]

This was originally going to take place in Tyril's second 30 diamond premium (when they're resting in the Elements.) MC has just asked Tyril for another poem.

--

Tyril: I have one other that is somewhat presentable. But Kade said the scansion was simple.

Raine: Kade... has opinions. And bar tabs. If he wants me to tolerate one, he needs to manage the other.

Raine: He also may have meant it as a compliment. He's a translator, remember? He appreciates ease.

Tyril: But he's correct. It is simple.

Raine: There's nothing wrong with simplicity, Tyril. Simplicity can be elegant.

Raine: The stars, the sun, all of nature is simple. Would you blame them for what they are?

Tyril: You're better at this than me.

Raine: Maybe you're just inspiring me.

Narration: You bring Tyril's hand to yours, kissing each pale blue fingertip.

Raine: Tyril. Read it to me. Please.

Narration: But he doesn't read. He doesn't have to. Every word is a whispered caress along your shining skin.

Like blood and water (s/he) is Eternal and ephemeral. A mystery few can solve, a puzzle box to be opened. How like a statue s/he stands, too proud and too strong to let the cracks show. Let me be your mason, O great Light, great Patron I will honor your wounds, fill them with pearls from the Sea and diamonds from beneath the earth. That hallowed earth Yawning wide to call me to your quiet, cold embrace. Give me but a word and I will follow. I wait And wait And wait And hear Nothing. This time interminable, this torture endless I search for you everywhere but the undiscovered country Hope is a fragile, dangerous thing, a candle in a tempest. I find the flame in each new face, each new question, begging Have you seen (her/him)? They ask me to describe you, your hair, your skin, your frame But the words turn to dust on my tongue. There is nothing. Nothing to define the wonder of you. You are not copper nor marble, clay nor precious gold. You are a river, an island, a forest ever growing beyond my reach. Lungs burning, limbs aching, I pursue. Begging the stars to return their (daughter/son) to me. Forgive me, my Uluin, my world, my love. Forgive me.

Narration: Tyril pauses, his bright eyes sliding to the floor.

Tyril: See? Simple. Unfinished.

Raine: Yes. Exactly. Simple. Perfect. Even when unfinished. Because that means there's more story to tell.

Narration: You gently bring his gaze to yours, soft and clear like first snow.

Raine: There is nothing to forgive, Tyril. Nothing I haven't done myself.

Narration: As promised, he kisses every scar, every fear you've ever had. They do not disappear of course. That was not his aim.

Narration: Instead they are immortalized, perfect and true in the night sky of your love.

I understand gameplay reasons why Salmonoids pop, but I wonder if Salmonoids have skeletons. Considering they can swim in water, they clearly have the biology built to survive in water. Yet they have weaponry and means to use Ink like attacks, plus leaving behind a trail of the substance. Are they in a quasi state of adapting Ink like stuff to fight against Inkfish, yet never evolved that thin skin that Inkfish have that allows them to shape-shifting. Of course then there is the question of how Maws and Megalodontia move about in the terrain the way they do if they were to be a more solid body. Quite a lot to pontificate on. What do you think lorekeeper Rassicas? 🤔

Like real life salmon, of course Salmonids have bones. Just like how inklings don't have bones, as the same is true for real life squid. there is a salmon skeleton next to the bear tracks in the ruins of Ark Polaris. the term "ink" seems to not be limited to cephalopod ink, but rather a variety of opaque,mucusy substances that function about the same for gameplay purposes. Salmonid ink is likely an adapted form of their saliva (steelhead bombs are described as "explosive saliva"), but could also be an evolution of the natural mucus membrane that covers the bodies of fish. maybe the crystals had something to do with this evolution path...

for maws and megalodontia, i've been asking the same question myself about how the octo weapons fit in the ink like that. it's either gameification, hammerspace bullshit/cartoon logic (no thanks!), the ink is just deeper than it looks, or salmonids somehow also evolved to "swim/melt" into the ink (remember what the fuck grizz was doing during the rocket fight, despite his concept art showing that he has a skeleton? this could very well be the answer even if it hurts to think about)

the shapeshifting that gives inklings the water weakness has to do with them having a humanoid and a squid form. between the salmonids and big man, different logic applies for being able to swim in ink so it seems.

bring me to your leader, I wish to ask for a hug:)

You want Tophat? Okay then… think she’s back there or something.

Hey Anon-! Come on, lemme give you that hug!

*I wrap my arms around you. Pat pat (: *

Didn’t think I’d be interacted with on here, since it’s meant for the OCs. But I’m not complaining.
