my source is that I made it the fuck up

[jamiegeode]

Just had the name Nephthys autocorrect to ‘Beth’s’. Bitch no. Shut up that is not the silly Egyptian healer from the time loop comic’s name and not remotely similar, I wrote the whole name out why did you do that to me. It’s still underlining it as a misspelled word. Autocorrect. Die

drew this while in vc and it accidentally sparked an au. wuh oh.

early morning meetings

[abneyart]

Been thinking about Ros's mom, Nephthys, a drow who moved topside (where she met Ros's dad Paidrig), so here's some baby!Ros with her mama

[thecatamaranlad]

Wrote a little ROS snippet (~200 words) for Nephthys’ birthday and thought I’d share it here for any ROS nerds who aren’t on the discord/for posterity.

It takes place between Kodya and Nephthys right after the uh, Infamous CPR Scene. :D

“He did WHAT?” Kodya asked, blushing. “I thought I hallucinated that part.”

“Nope! He really kissed you! Apparently it’s a futuristic healing technique?” Nephthys said, excited. “Isn’t that strange? I wonder if he would teach me.”

She was supposed to be monitoring Kodya for “secondary drowning”, whatever that meant – Gyrus had just told her to keep an eye on his vital signs, especially his breathing. Well, his breathing wasn’t doing too good right now. He was coughing and sputtering almost as badly as he had when he’d been first pulled out of the lake, even though they were on dry land next to a roaring fire, and he was wrapped in a smothering amount of blankets.

“He seemed nice, I bet he’d be willing to teach you too if you asked! It’d probably be useful for all of us to learn it.”

Kodya’s face kept getting redder and redder. Nephthys grinned. She had a feeling this was more related to the ��ceepear” than the drowning. “He’s really pretty, isn’t he?” she asked, trying to confirm her suspicions, and Kodya glared at her.

“What’s that got to do with anything?”

“It means if you don’t start breathing normally, I’m going to have to call him over to help you out again!” Neph said, just to watch the boy struggle. She was starting to get some entertaining ideas about how she could repay him for saving her life. “It’s my job to watch you after all, and he seems to be the most effective healer here…”

For now. She really wasn’t kidding about asking Gyrus to teach her that technique.

spoilers for ROS up to around ep. 30. i genuinely believe ROS will hit hardest if you go into it fully blind, but i realise that's a hard sell. for what it's worth, it's a really neat sci-fi story with interesting moral problems, good queer rep, neat magic systems, and a nice art style. the main pairing, as well as many of the side pairings, is gay. there's a minor nb character. there are major female characters. there are major characters of colour. the mysteries and twists are largely satisfying, at least to me. i personally really enjoy the ending.

under the cut, there's a short description of what i consider the setup (relatively spoiler-free, if you make an exception for things you learn in the first couple of episodes), as well as two more major elements of the story which i omitted from the previous paragraph for spoiler reasons. one of them is revealed in the mid-S1 finale, the other becomes apparent throughout the S1 finale/the beginning of S2.

next reblog, there'll be a more narrative retelling of the first half of season 1, up to and including the first major twist. i will attempt to emphasize the parts which i find compelling, which means it'll be quite different, stylistically, from the actual webtoon.

It will, naturally, include major spoilers for the first thirty episodes.

OH BTW i almost forgot but i was rereading messages from when i got a friend of mine to read ROS and this webtoon has absolutely BALLER music !! and some incredible animations !! literally the fight scenes go so hard for no reason

[i was gonna put some quotes of theirs here, but he hasn't texted me back yet wrt whether he's okay with that. suffice it to say that i have been Peer Reviewed and u should trust my opinions bc i'm objectively correct always [/joking] ]

room of swords deals heavily in time travel, specifically time loops. the cast are characters from across history, each with their own story and their own power.

it also reckons a lot with narrative framing and morality: a lot of actions will be recontextualised and reframed with new knowledge later on, and what seems clear-cut at first may not always be so easy. after all, some ends may justify even desperate means, and rarely do we have all the facts when we must make judgements.

what does personal responsibility mean if you're no longer quite the same person?

the setup for season one is as follows: gyrus, an astronaut, wakes up alone in the wreckage of his spaceship. he receives a fragmented radio transmission and decides to follow it, in the hopes of reuniting with his crew.

shortly thereafter, he meets a knight by the name of tori. tori is, as becomes quickly apparent, not from the same time period as gyrus. reluctantly, they decide to team up after being confronted (and nearly captured) by a big fantasy creature guy.

(during their first small adventures, gyrus is able to access some form of magic, which comes as a surprise to him: perhaps he knows himself less well than he thought?)

they will, over the course of the next few episodes, meet sylvia (a cave woman), nephthys (a prophetess/healer from ancient egypt), and kodya (a hunter/soldier from ~19th ct. russia), and team up with them. strangely, though, both nephthys and kodya appear to know more than they let on...

all of this is preceded by a mysterious message, proclaiming that this ragtag group of heroes have been chosen to conquer this world where past and future fuse. they are tasked to complete the room of swords to open the gate to freedom. and, as is traditional: they are warned that not all of them will survive this journey. and just WHAT is that timer in the sky ticking down towards?

i'm sure they'll be fine though.

if any this sounds interesting, go give ROS a try! it's genuinely one of my favourite stories. i love the characters (gyrus/kodya has been one of my main ships for years; v good for rotating in your head while you're waiting in line or travelling somewhere).

(some more spoilers for their character dynamic: i love narrative parallels. i love mentor/mentee stuff, especially with the things you'll learn in S2. big fan of when one partner has to semi-consensually semi-kill the other. they would do sooo well in a fluffy slice-of-life romcom but alas, they are stuck in the time loop sci-fi oops-there's-a-bit-of-horror-now webtoon instead. what if the world was ending and we were like sooo married. what if i trusted you even when i knew i shouldn't. what if i trusted you even when i knew you shouldn't trust me. what if i trusted you with my life but not my secrets. what if i knew we would hurt each other before this was over. what if i knew i would hurt you. what if i needed you. what if i knew you wouldn't hate me even after all i will do. what if i needed you. what if you would always know me. what if i ne—)

(what if i would always come back for you?)

working on a room of swords (webtoon) post rn and just checking, do any of you happen to know ROS? is anybody here interested in hearing about this gay little webtoon?

(you will be hearing about it regardless bc it's been years since i read ROS for the first time and i still have brain worms)

(i also want to get back into creative writing a bit more bc currently i have One (1) Fic i ever work on and it has spiralled far out of my control, which means now i actually have to do Planning to keep this somewhat coherent, which makes it much harder for me to actually Write)

Honestly I don't know what to say. I've thought about what to say once it was over for so long but honestly I don't know what to say.

I started reading Room of Swords in spring of 2020, because school was out and I was bored. I binged it all the way to episode 112.

I read it over and over again, thought about it, drew characters, tried to solve the shadow language with no avail, and read it every weekend.

I'll miss it, but I'm glad to see our favorite characters finally happy.

Words can't express how much this comic means to me and how much I love it.
