How about any TTRPGs set underwater that aren't horror themed?

THEME: Underwater Games.

Hello friend! I am so sorry that your asks got eaten - I'm glad to have them back! (It looks like Tabletop Trick or Treat unearthed a few gems.)

Now, let's see what kind of underwater games I can fish up for you!

Deepwater Enclaves, by kiryas.

Just plain old air pollution? A failed weather control experiment? Or more sinister forces? Nobody will know for sure why earth cooled below a dark mantle of clouds in the 1980s. Agriculture could not adapt fast enough and when conventional battles for the few remaining natural resources close to the equatorial line erupted into full-scale nuclear war, humanity was on the brink of extinction. Less than five hundred thousand mostly malnourished, freezing humans were left, when the year 2000 began.

This game is about venturing from a safe Community into the unknown. At the core are taking risks for your loved ones; sometimes this is at odds with your individual motives.

Deepwater Enclaves is a Rooted in Trophy game that contains a number of roll tables with evocative choices, and a community creation that involves the entire table. As players, you play both your character and a member of the community who is important to someone else. You play through a series of scenes, structured in a similar way to the way you might set up a scene in a tv show.

To participate in a scene, if you are not one of the original characters set to play a role, other players must spend a token. These tokens are also used to affect outcomes from when you roll, as well as reduce risks that may pop up as you play. You need two different colours or shades of d6’s for this: one colour will represent regular dice, while the other will represent “dark” dice, which raise the stakes whenever you roll with them.

Overall, I think this game is about exploration and survival. I think it has the potential to be a horror game if you want it to be, but you can also alter the tone to redirect the story towards something more dramatic, perhaps centring the game more on your community, and awarding the players with enough tokens to give them the ability to pull themselves out of danger.

Carcinauts!, by Hessan Yongdi.

Carcinauts! is inspired by a famous British children's animated TV show that takes place in and around the sea. You play animal explorers, scientists, and rescuers. Joined by your many friends and helpers, you seek to learn more about our fascinating oceans. Make the world a better place for the animals who live in and around the Great Blue Sea!

Based on the prolific Dominus system created by members of the Brazilian RPG community, Carcinauts! is designed to allow for quick play without a game master. This makes it idea for a solo session in the Sea or a team adventure, using the tables to build out your story. Its simple rules based around d6s and largely non-violent topic materials also make this game child-friendly.

Carcinauts is a two-page game that feels a little bit like a kid’s show; you are all underwater animal explorers, going on missions and solving problems. The resolution of the game is called the Dilemma oracle, and is fairly simple. You must determine two possible outcomes or answers, and then roll 1d6. On a 1-3 the first option is true, on a 4-6 a second option is true. These outcomes need not necessarily be “success” and “failure” either. They could be “left” and :right”, “up” and “down”, or “true” and “false”. This resolution system also makes the game friendly to solo gamers or GM-less tables.

If you want a light-hearted game about underwater explorers, which generates a lot of story ideas for you, maybe check out Carcinauts.

Deep Love, by Bully Pulpit Games.

You’ve come to this paradise to drop a two-and-a-half ton iron ball off the side of a ship and lower it almost a kilometer into the abyss. 

You’ve come to crawl inside that iron ball and go down with it, to see what there is to see down there. 

You’ve come with three other brilliant adventurers, friends, and lovers, and you’ll all get a chance to descend and risk your lives in exchange for seeing things no human being has ever seen.  And maybe, in the inky darkness and cold silence, you’ll find a measure of happiness and fulfillment.

Deep Love has a fond appreciation for old naturalist drawings of various fish, and uses those drawings as the art for the game. You play four characters, possibly pre-generated, on an expedition to the deep waters of an island for a geographic expedition. You all have feelings for each-other, and you’ll have to spend some extended time in a bathysphere to sort this out.

This game looks like it’s equal parts emotional conversation & role play, and, on the other hand, discovering the wonder of the ocean. According to the designer, it looks like you can modify how much you want to experience the former, and how much you want to experience the latter. If you want a game that gives you the tools to explore both your character’s internal emotional landscape as well as the strange underwater world around them, you might like Deep Love.

Submerged, by Arcane Atlas Games.

SUBMERGED is a solo journalling game of undersea exploration.

In this game, you take on the role of a daring explorer aboard a submersible. You have been charged with venturing into the depths of the ocean, to find something wondrous and undiscovered, hidden deep below the waves.

This one is for the solo gamers! It’s based on Carta, which uses a deck of cards to explore a map or series of locations. The player draws a number of cards and lays them face-down in a grid. Each turn, you move to a new card, flip it over, and come up with a journal entry based on the prompt the card gives you. The four suits represent four elements of the game: the Lost City, The Creature, the Wreckage, and the Signal. All of these elements play into the themes of mystery and exploration that this game seems to be about, but I don’t think any of it is necessarily horror-focused.

24XX The Deep, by Chaosmeister.

ONE DAY THE OCEANS DROWNED THE WORLD. Humanity survived below the waves. The sea birthed leviathans. Your crew owns a dingy old sub. Odd jobs, salvage, leviathan hunting and a few merc gigs keep you afloat and breathing.

24XX The Deep is a game about underwater survival and it’s also a drama. As a 24XX game, it’s only a few pages, but those pages distill the necessary parts of the game into a few things: customization for your submarine (aesthetic and mechanic), character options, and roll tables for pieces of the world, such as the factions that your crew might have to work with or work against.

The designer for this game says that 24XX The Deep isn’t necessarily meant to be a horror game, but it can still be a little creepy in tone when you consider the ways the natural underwater environment can raise the stakes for your players.

Aqua Squad, by Em.

A Tunnel Goons hack of aquatic and aquatic-adjacent adventure, created for the Saturday Morning Cartoon Jam. 

I think this might be a fairly safe bet considering it was submitted to something called the Saturday Morning Cartoon Jam! As a Tunnel Goons hack, this game is fairly simple. You follow the Submarine crew of the Cuttlefish, as they go for adventures underwater. Players pick character types, which kind of act like characters on a tv show, and fill in a few pieces of information to make those characters fit their play style.

The resolution mechanic involves rolling 2d6 and adding a relevant ability, and adding +1 for any relevant item you might have with you. You must meet or beat the difficulty score to succeed. You start with 3 items, and 10 HP. There isn’t much in terms of GM tools for adventure generation however, other than what appears to be episode title names. These titles can be evocative: you roll two words and put them together, so the GM may have an interesting time designing a “ghostly volcano” for the squad to investigate, or trying to figure out what the title “Vacation Megalodon” might mean.

Signals From The Deep, by Aaron Goss.

SIGNALS FROM THE DEEP is a tense, ocean-floor setting and scenario made using a no dice, no masters roleplaying game system Tiny Tokens.

This scenario takes you and the rest of your old, sentient, deep sea research robot team SEA-4 on a shared voyage, exploring deep sea wonders as you seek out the source of a anomalous signal detected way down at the bottom of the ocean. What awaits you in the depths?

Signals in the Deep is a mystery game, but it’s not necessarily a horror one. The game is small, meant to fit on two double-sized poker-card-sized cards. It’s easy to pick up and carry, and doesn’t have too many rules. Your core goal is to figure out the source of the signal; but what exactly that source is will be up to the GM, at least from what I can see.

THE NEWEST RESIDENT OF EASTHAVEN

My Main Character OC for the amazing IF @thelonelyshore-if

Name: Lyra Moon (No Nickname)

Age: Mid-Twenties

Pronouns: She/Her

Occupation: Journalist

Appearance: Lyra Moon is a short woman with wavy waist-length black hair worn loose, Ivory skin and brown eyes.

Personality: FRIENDLY | GENUINE | TIMID | RECKLESS | SKEPTIC

Friendly: Lyra works hard to be perceived as pleasant, to Willow's entertainment. She has sharp features and often her face at rest reads as intimidating. Willow tells her she has the vibes of "someone who can swallow a man whole for looking at her wrong", everyone else says she just has a bad case of RBF.

Genuine: Not to say that Lyra doesn't possess a glib bone in her body, but part of the deal with being journalist is being frank. There's intention in her words, blunt they may be.

Timid: Lyra is not usually aggressive. She meets conflict with firm words and usually seeks to deescalate than fight about it head on. Easthaven as thrown her off kilter in a way that she's never experienced before, it's hard to be confident and assured when you're so clearly out of your depth.

Reckless: Lyra likes to think she's cautious but seeing Willow out in the lake had her throwing herself headfirst into the lake with little thought about how to haul both of them back to shore while a storm raged on. Needless to say, Lyra is prone to act first when it comes to the people she loves. There's also her curiosity. Lyra is inclined to jump into a situation if it meant she could gather information.

Skeptic: It's not that Lyra is a true skeptic of the supernatural. Like Willow, she's always been inclined to the strange and mystical ways of the world. It's just that she doesn't jump to that explanation as easily. Lyra's curiosity and inquisitiveness make her a good journalist, but also makes her question everything that people in Easthaven consider to be normal.

Traits & Skills

Uncoordinated (Low Tough Skill)

Charismatic (High Charisma Skill)

Strange (High Weird Skill)

Sensible (Average Smarts Skill)

Levelheaded (Average Composure Skill)

Adaptable (Average Cunning Skill)

Magic: Precognition/Clairvoyance

Lyra [sees visions of possible futures--sometimes far in advance, sometimes only seconds in the future. They can use this information to act and to do their best to fix things before they break. The weight of what might be is a heavy one, though, and being able to see the future doesn't always mean you can change it.]**

Lyra has her first vision when she and Ravi were about to violently crash into the end of a tree-cave. Initially she wanted to dismiss it as her imagination being too high on adrenaline at that moment, but it slowly begins to be undeniable.

Sometimes, she wonders if a part of her has always known about this ability. Willow used to tell her she was more reliable than the weather reports, always looking to her to see if he needed to bring an umbrella today. There was never a day he had to go home drenched or had been made to carry an umbrella uselessly. There's more than one instance of her reminding Willow or their parents about something they forgot or might encounter and proving to be right.

Willow called her psychic, an oracle, asking her how she always just knows. Lyra would smirk, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

**--From @/thelonelyshore-if, when asked about the distinct magics MCs can have. https://www.tumblr.com/thelonelyshore-if/759001835459805184/question-for-you-my-liege-can-you-give-us-more?source=share

Willow was the younger brother with his head in the clouds. Free, like dandelions blown in the wind.

Lyra was the dependable older sister, steadfast and fluid like water.

Growing up together, Willow was always known as "Lyra's little brother" around school. At first he didn't mind, he was always proud to be Lyra's brother, nobody ever messed with him. But that got pretty old whenever people introduced him and then said "His sister's really cool!" or "This is Willow, his sister's like, really hot". It's not as if he didn't have his own friends or anything, he just hated how quickly people stuck him in that box. He's talked about it with Lyra before. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if part of his wanderlust was the desire to get as far away from her shadow as possible. But then he always finds his way back to her and they pick up right where they leave off.

Willow is frustrated that Lyra tries so hard to hide the parts of herself that he loves the most. How she makes herself softer and more palatable to people. But then there are the moments they share when their eyes meet, the brief smile or rolling of eyes whenever someone talks to her and sees only the projection she set out in the world. Willow loves the fact that he's the only person who sees her.

Willow knows to send Lyra signs of life in a semi-regular basis or else she'll go insane. He sends her pictures or precarious sleeping situations, fun sights and weird midnight musings. There's very little he doesn't tell her, whether it's crystals or a practice that he picked up, there's little judgement to be found with Lyra. She knows him, she sees him.

During the stormy night in the lake after Lyra furiously threw herself into the lake's embrace to get to him, the last thing she saw was Willow on the shore. She wonders if he chased after her, if he's somewhere at the bottom of the lake, tossed by the storm, imprisoned by the weeds.

She would do anything to make her way back to him.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ROs

Jaylen "Jay" Jones: Finds his presence comforting, but is a bit miffed about how he and Ravi explained the situation to her. Feels a kinship to him since he has the look of someone just trying to hold on to the people he loves.

Ravi Singh: Initially found him to be nice, if not a bit off-putting. Hates the fact that he just looks like he knows what's happening. Logically she knows he likely doesn't know as much as anyone else in town that's in the know, but something about him makes Lyta want to crack his head open just to see what's inside. (One of the top contenders for RO.)

Beck Dawn: Very thankful for the fact that they were so friendly to her at breakfast, and really loves their motorcycle. Beck and Perri was Lyra's first real taste of what normal is in Easthaven.

Perri Loveless: Too used to Willow to think badly of him, in fact, being with Perri hurts sometimes because he reminds her of Willow, but Willow is a lot more self-assured to ever shrink into himself like Perri does. Likes to listen to his radio show, calls him "Voice of Easthaven" in exchange for him giving her the moniker "The Lady of the Lake"

Yasmin Bakir-King: Lyra becomes a bit of a fixture in the Library, so the friendship blossoms from there. Joins in on Yasmin and Croft's gossip sessions. Finds Yasmin to be a bit of a grounding force compared to everything else in town.

Amir Croft: Lyra's a huge fan of his books but doesn't admit it since she correctly clocked that he wouldn't like that that much. Occasionally slips and reminds him of a lore detail that's so obcure even he forgot about it but will leave before he can call her out on it. Lyra was investigating his disappearance before coming to the cabin. Lyra is immensely comforted by the fact that someone else in town know the world beyond Easthaven. (The other top contender for RO.)

THE LADY OF THE LAKE

"…She was just there. I personally thought she was like--a ghost lady wearing white, or something, but when she got closer, it was just a nightdress. She told my dad that there was gonna be a storm and that the waters would get choppy. My dad just scoffed--he's been fishing since he was a little boy, and honestly I did too cause the water was calm and the sky was clear. Half an hour later my dad and I capsized and drank up half the lake trying to swim back. It happened a couple more times until my dad eventually just looked out in the direction of the lake house seeing if she would signal that it wasn't safe to go every time he wanted to fish."

"Well, nice to see Easthaven now has it's very own 'Lady of the Lake' looking out for us!…"

-An excerpt from Perri's radio show when a caller called in about an encounter with Lyra

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Lyra would take a job in Easthaven as a journalist at the Easthaven Herald to pay for the lake house.

Would oscillate between throwing herself into her job and just hanging out at the lake.

Would spend the weekends testing the boundaries of Easthaven with Croft.

Would try to follow in Croft's example of not integrating into the town, but would fail because she needs people in her life.

Takes a bike around town, too scared of cars to get into one for a while after the incident.

Takes up journaling to detail her life before Easthaven, grateful for Croft for his methods.

Would sleeptalk ominous information about the future (Would be so fun for an RO to be woken up at the middle of the night and hear this)

A good artist, tries to draw something from back home at least once a day in conjunction with the journaling. Willow, her parents, landmarks from the way to work, etc.

Will unconsciously draw creepy depictions of events that have yet to occur.

Starts a comic strip at the Easthaven Herald.

W.I.T.C.H. (Fanfic)

This screenplay was written by Hisparus, and is a non-profit fan work based on the W.I.T.C.H. universe. All rights to the original universe belong to their respective owners. This adaptation is not affiliated with Disney and is not intended to generate revenue. Please do not repost without credit or use excerpts without permission. This is a project made with love and respect for the original material. 💫

KANDRAKAR: The screen begins with a blinding glow, transitioning into a misty place full of clouds.

YAN LIN (V.O.): In a distant and infinite place, a temple rises, brimming with light and magnificence.

A massive white building is revealed, filled with arches and ornamental details.

YAN LIN (V.O.): Kandrakar. A place beyond time and space.

As she speaks, the image of the fortress draws closer.

YAN LIN (V.O.): An immense void from which the temple of the Congregation emerges.

The temple's interior is shown, revealing its ornate structure with white vaults and columns, highlighting every detail.

YAN LIN (V.O.): Let its radiance dazzle you. (PAUSE) Come closer, but do so in silence.

The Congregation Assembly is shown—an enormous hall with a wide arched seating arrangement, similar to the ancient stone benches used by the Roman Senate.

All members seated on the stone benches appear humanoid and wear long sky-blue robes.

At the center of the hall, the colored spheres representing each of the elements form a pentagon. The colors are pink, blue, gray, orange, and green.

Next to the elemental spheres stands THE ORACLE, a hairless humanoid being with pale skin. He is kneeling beside TIBOR, an elderly humanoid being with a long white beard. Unlike THE ORACLE, TIBOR stands upright.

YAN LIN (V.O.): The Oracle is about to speak.

THE ORACLE: There is no more time, brothers and sisters! The Veil is in danger once more.

Everyone listens attentively to the ORACLE's words.

THE ORACLE: It is time for the Guardians to defend the order of things!

All begin murmuring among themselves.

ALTHOR, a plump, pointy-eared elder with a long white beard, stands from his seat to ask:

ALTHOR: Who will be chosen this time, my Lord?

THE ORACLE: Five humans, Althor.

LUBA, a slender woman with feline features, rises to speak, showing clear disapproval on her face.

LUBA: (DISPLEASED) Five girls, to be more precise.

THE ORACLE: They are more than that, Luba. They are magical beings. Nature will be their friend. The Earth, their mother.

As THE ORACLE speaks, the elemental spheres begin to float toward him, forming a line.

THE ORACLE: And the elements, their allies.

The spheres merge and emit a glow that fades the scene into black. * * *

WILL'S DREAM: The scene begins with a black screen. Slowly, an object appears, glowing with a pink flash.

WILL is present—a girl with short red hair and brown eyes.

She is dazzled by the object, which is revealed to be the Heart of Kandrakar, a pink orb with metallic ornamentation.

FEMALE VOICE: Will…

WILL tries to reach the Heart with her hand, causing it to shine even more brightly. The girl reacts by shielding her eyes from the light.

WILL: (SCARED) What is that?

WILL is pulled inside the Heart as she screams in fear.

FEMALE VOICE: Will…

After closing her eyes for a moment, WILL slowly opens them wide, finding herself in a dark world where nothing else seems to exist.

Thunder roars, and raindrops begin to fall on her.

Unable to do anything, WILL falls to her knees, crying under the rain, which grows heavier.

FEMALE VOICE: (INSISTENT) Will… Will… Will!

* * *

VANDOM FAMILY CAR: WILL wakes up startled, sitting in her mother's car, in the passenger seat. Driving beside her is SUSAN, a tall, slender woman with wavy dark hair and brown eyes.

SUSAN: About time. Were you having a nightmare, honey?

WILL places her hand on her head, letting out a faint groan.

WILL: (ANNOYED) A terrible one. There was an awful storm.

The Vandom family car slowly moves along the road, packed with cars, approaching a bridge. The sound of traffic blends with the sound of rain falling.

SUSAN: Nothing to envy over here.

Above the bridge entrance, a green illuminated sign reads “HEATHERFIELD.” WILL sees the glowing sign through the windshield.

WILL: Heatherfield.

SUSAN: Yes, we've finally arrived at the long-awaited Heatherfield. I admit, it doesn't make a good first impression because of the weather…

A motorbike roars past the vehicle at high speed, startling both SUSAN and WILL. SUSAN frowns and honks several times. Then she turns to WILL with a smile.

SUSAN: (PRETENDING TO BE CALM) But you'll see, tomorrow you'll feel right at home.

WILL's face turns serious.

WILL: Mom, tomorrow's my first day at school.

SUSAN: (SMILING) Then the day after tomorrow—it’s Saturday.

WILL rolls her eyes and slumps back in the seat.

WILL: (GRUMBLING) We could’ve just waited until Monday to start.

SUSAN: You’ll see, the day will fly by.

* * *

VANDOM RESIDENCE BUILDING / OPPOSITE SIDEWALK: A three-story building is shown under a heavy rainfall. This is where the Vandom family will live. WILL and SUSAN unload boxes from the car trunk, parked near the main entrance. SUSAN hands a box to WILL.

SUSAN: (HANDING THE BOX) Here, take this upstairs. (TURNS AROUND TO GRAB ANOTHER BOX) A lot of rain is falling.

WILL’s box breaks open from the bottom, spilling its contents. SUSAN turns back to see what happened. WILL looks down at the items scattered across the wet sidewalk, then quickly begins picking them up.

SUSAN approaches her daughter.

SUSAN: (SOFTLY) Will…

SUSAN hugs WILL.

SUSAN: I know this isn’t easy. But you’ll see—it’ll get better.

WILL has a serious, unconvinced look.

WILL: Sure. I bet it will.

SUSAN breaks the hug and speaks to WILL face-to-face.

SUSAN: That’s the spirit, Will.

SUSAN moves a lock of hair from WILL’s eyes to the side of her face.

SUSAN: (CHEERFUL) Come on, let’s finish this—I’m getting soaked.

WILL heads into the building. SUSAN grabs a package to carry in. WILL’s lock of hair falls back into place.

WILL: (MUTTERING) Yeah, sure. Like it’ll be easy for things not to get worse.

Coffee, Biscuits, Coffee Biscuits.

Day 23 - On Cloud Nine Shadowbringers (5.3) - Reflections in Crystal Shadowbringers Raid Series - Where I Belong

Soft Ryne and Gaia shinanigins.

With The Empty restored, and life on its way to flurishing on the once light-blighted star, Ryne and Gaia finally have a moment to just be a couple of teenagers and enjoy some Coffee, Biscuits and, well, Coffee Biscuits.

In the weeks that followed both the confirmed felling of the last cardinal virtue and the empty's restoration to habitable land, a change had begun to take place in the general populace. One such instance of this was the fact that the children of land had begun to socialise, and dream of lives beyond the desperate struggle against an inevitaible and painfull death that had marked the last centry of the star's history.

This also meant that businesses were adapting to the demands of youth culture. This included The Leaky Keel making the most of the daylight hours to serve more youth aproperate drinks and meals.

Two such youths were Ryne Waters and Gaia who were taking a break from their respective duties, both in studying and in perparing for the festival that had been in the plans even before restoration of the Empty was finished.

Gaia, for her part, took the cup of coffee to her nose and allowed the arouma of the drink- made from beans imported from Eulmore- to take her out of the moment.

Partly because that moment was spent by Ryne sighing very loudly.

Dragged back to reality by the haggared sigh, Gaia could only look in sympathy for the Oracle of Light.

"Long night of it?"

Ryne leaned back on her chair. "Oh, like you wouldn't believe! Sometimes it feels like herding torama cats with the other committie members. Especilally that Seifer jerk!"

Gaia hummed, wanting to know more.

In an impressive bit of agrovated manouvering, Ryne took a coffee biscuit and took an impressively large bite out of it.

"I don't-" she stopped to swallow the current infused biscuit, "I don't care that his father is a big shot in Eulmore. If he speaks out of line or gets his flunkies to back him up one more time, I'm going to take that beanie of his and pull it right down his face!"

The name was fimilar to Gaia but for the life of her she couldn't put a face to it. There was a lot about her past life in Eulmore that she couldn't remember thanks to Mitron's influnace. It had been quite the sorce of frustration.

But that was then and this was now. And she was enjoying the now where Ryne was just venting her frustrations. It was cute. Sort of like, aproperatly enough, a torama kitten that was meowing out of frustration for reasons beyond the ken of man.

That wasn't to say it was all her taking in Ryne's woes in organisation.

"But enough about my rotten luck. Hows things going with Lyna?"

Gaia looked at bit put out. In order to make herself useful, she had joined The Crysterium's guard. She hadn't ment to out herself as anyone special, given how that went the last time, and given the fact that monster- and, more pressingly, sin eater- attacks were starting to dwindle. But no, a big old monster rolled up, nearly flattened Lance-Corperal Lyna who was only spared her fate via vigerous application of Gaia's hammer to the monster's forehead.

That made it twice that thing had embarassed her.

So now Lyna had taken her under her wing to train.

And she was not a soft hand.

"I genuinly don't know how the Exarch raised that woman but I have questions about his partenting style" she scoffed angerly. "She's a complete battle axe!"

Ryne tilted her head. "I thought she was trained in dancing artes."

"I- sch!" Gaia splutered, caught off guard before she shook her head. "You know what I mean!"

A smile crossed Ryne's face. As embarassed as she was, Gaia knew that the Oracle of Light found it adorable when she got flustered so that sort of teasing comedy act had become a frequent thing.

Not that she mind.

Oh no, far from it.

The two took a sip of their cofee and felt the heat warm them up. There would be trails, tribulations, and probably some reality shattering disaster being stopped by three foot of drawf that they would have so get themselves involved with in the future but, for now, the two oracles of The First were simply on cloud nine.

December 2024 🫶 for Capricorn

Preshuffle: Someone is preparing a gift for someone else that’s more of a fair weather friend I’m hearing - than someone close. There’s a bit of delusion with that. You could get a really thoughtful gift from someone that’s crushing on you, or half in/out, but there’s a motive with it 🎁

Meditation: A giant bowl of jelly beans 🫘, every flavor known to man. Rather, every GROSS flavor known to man. For every cherry 🍒 you know there’s 10 earwaxes and you are just not looking forward to this one bit. You pick a nice, safe, orange one and it tastes like floor cleaner, you spit it out and walk away.

General: Ace of Swords 🗡️

Love: Justice ⚖️

Work: 8 Pentacles rev

Your reading mirrors Sagittarius’s a lot, you could have that in your chart or be dealing with one. Same Ace of Swords, same Sag & Cap cards in compatibility too. You’re coming into December confused ☁️, things aren’t making sense to you in either area, work/love, that I can see.

Justice is balancing the scales, it’s a final decision being made - Ace of Swords is the clarity to do so, communicating your truth, it’s the same sword that the Justice judge wields. A decision being made cuts off all other options by default, same as a judge makes a final judgment, whatever you gain - you’re going to lose something else. Someone else maybe. Acquisition with The Dragonfly shows status, lighthearted banter, adapting to circumstances, a growth mindset & aiming towards success on some level. Material most likely, Gold Coins shows money being on your mind. Money, success, fame, glamour 💅🏽

With that, there’s also Loss here, with Confusion & Depth. Sadness is attached to this, and some very deep emotions that you haven’t processed or purposely are trying not to - they confuse you. Or your person, if you have one. There’s some deep value to whatever is lost, although something is gained. Some of you may be dating new people but are still very confused & not over whatever happened with the last person. You’re keeping it light and trying to be fair but, you’re not really ready for something DEEP. Just fun. Or if you’re with someone, there could be a situation where you have to go from one emotion to the other quite quickly & there’s a sudden ending. It could be a job.

For work, 8 Pentacles rev is no work. Zero effort, laziness in some cases, no real effort towards a long-term outcome. The oracle being Patience - Jupiter Virgo shows a need for consistent effort every day, maybe that’s what you’re not seeing or giving. Coworkers could irritate you. Karmic Relationship could be literal for someone, an enemy type of person that just seems like they’re after you constantlyyy, but for most it’s showing triggers. People irritating you for this and that reason, not wanting to put in effort, being worried about finances generally and stressed out about…how long something is taking? How much something costs maybe. How many hours for some - it’s the slow season. If you’re looking for a job, I don’t see one coming in. If you’re dealing with work drama, I see Peace - eventually - but you’re not the catalyst for it. Either someone in particular isn’t doing their part and you’re waiting and waiting for them, or that’s switched - but Peace is the outcome. Patience and Peace, what else can you do? You could be speaking up & saying so, asserting yourself, or if it’s switched then someone else is 💯 Virgo is showing up strong with work. Daily, consistent, dependable effort is missing from something. With Ace of Swords, you will be gaining all of the clarity/communication you don’t currently have - coming in with Silver Cloud, but it’s coming…eventually. Before January 🤷

You come into December with:

Silver Cloud ☁️:

“Every silver lining has a cloud.”

If confusion is a familiar state for you, then you already know Silver Cloud. Clarity is only available by journeying with him for awhile. Through a willingness to be in confusion, we find clarity. You are to slow down, meditate, contemplate, rest. If you were to know what lies ahead, you might not take on the next task willingly. You’re not supposed to know, you will when it’s time. Bide your time in gratitude and know that clarity will come along the way.

You leave December having learned:

Gold Coins 💰

“I only seek to give you what you ask for.”

Gold Coins gently asks you to look at your relationship with money. Money doesn’t care where it goes. It naturally goes toward appreciation and gratitude. What we do with our own abundance makes the difference. Are you blaming something on money? Are you running from it? Be wary of using your financial situation as an excuse to avoid doing something you love to do. Are you questioning a relationship or career that is hitting a rocky time? It may be time to look for the good in it. Remember there are two sides to every coin. What you desire may currently be manifesting. Great riches are waiting for you to use them. You can ask the universe for riches or poverty, the universe doesn’t care, only you can change your inner experience. “Things” only hold value when we think they do. If there were no money, it didn’t exist, what else would you do? What else would you focus on?

Gold may be a lucky color 💛

Compatibility for December:

Temperance rev is impatient, angry, not interested in compromise or peaceful cooperation - they want what they want when they want it, period. Why hasn’t it shown up? You could be short tempered with others or impatient & heated with them because of something or other - or that could be switched.

Aries - not talking to you because they have no desire to - egotistical & kind of a dick about it

Taurus - free from some restrictive circumstance and hopeful or healing from it, could be working towards a dream or healing 💭

Gemini - panicking that they’re missing out or away from you, could be blasting you with messages - very emotional ones, or switch

Cancer - coming back around which may shock the hell out of you because you don’t want to see them, could be a family member

Leo - broke your heart and was fine with that but now they’re turning around to fix it…this is someone that’s used to getting their way 🪄

Virgo - could be in trouble for something their friend did or could be the friend getting someone else in trouble - a bad influence 😈

Libra - done with one foot in & one foot out behavior, or not knowing where they stand, juggling 50 things at once - they want stable

Scorpio - not taking control of a situation, not inviting you or being proactive about a problem…if you’re wanting to reconcile, I don’t think that’s happening, could be a 3rd party involved

Sagittarius - not cooperative whatsoever, they got the exact same thing last reading

Capricorn - confessing how long they’ve been trying or wanting to do something - could be a side hustle or some kind of a hobby job

Aquarius - getting exactly what they want but hesitating about it - not sure if they trust it

Pisces - not interested in an apology or a reconciliation with a King of Wands rev - someone angry, forceful, bossy, a player, superficial. You, them, or someone else idk

God Eater 3 Character Novel | In the Name of the White Flower: Chapter 7

[image id: A novel cover. Hilda Henriquez from God Eater 3 stands in the foreground. In the background are profile shots of Abraham Gadolin (top left) and Werner Gadolin (bottom right). Separating the two are a pair of red armlets, streaks of dried blood overlaid on top of them. The text, when translated into English, reads, “God Eater 3 Character Novel | Chapter 5: Hilda Edition | In the Name of the White Flower”. /end id]

This is a fan translation. Original text here.

Masterpost 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

Finally, using existing satellite bases as footholds, a new safe haven for humanity was born.

"To be a beacon of hope even amidst an invisible sea of ash."

With this wish in mind, the bases came to be known as "Ports".

As more and more Ports were built, those who had lost their homes were gradually taken in and protected, but...

The chaos in various regions had still not subsided completely. Coupled with the sloppy and hasty transfer to Ports, much of the technology monopolized by Fenrir had leaked.

Those not accepted into Ports and forced to live in fear of death clung to a glimmer of hope, using leaked technology to carry out aptitude tests in poorly maintained environments.

These aptitude tests resulted in a large number of casualties among the civilian population. At the same time, the growing number of unregulated God Eaters not under Gleipnir's control started to cause problems.

To resolve the situation, it was necessary to establish the development of AGEs as soon as possible.

However, even the second-generation AGE aptitude test targeting children had failed to produce stable results over the long term.

Taking advantage of the increase in unregulated God Eaters, Gleipnir set a high reward for any information regarding AGE development and internal information on the Ashlands.

A combination of factors had led to an outbreak of child hunting across northern Europe with no end in sight.

The loss of so many lives slowly but surely clouded regular God Eaters' sense of value for life.

But still.

Even now, finally, people could grasp hope.

After repeated second-generation experiments, we succeeded in developing the "P53-c Bias Factor", adjusted for use in the Ashlands.

Regular God Eaters, who had only been able to sit on their hands thus far, could now operate within the Ashlands.

The AGEs who had survived early aptitude tests had improved their skills as soldiers. Gleipnir could finally organize a unit tasked with conquering the Ashlands.

The "Anti-Ashland Armored Wall" developed during research into adaptive bias factor.

This was used in the construction of mobile fortresses called "Ash Crawlers".

The "Resonance Radar" was the culmination of Oracle communication technology perfected by my father.

With all preparations complete, Gleipnir announced the execution of the "First Ashlands Conquest Operation".

As Gleipnir's primary base of operations, Port Arrowhead continued undergoing expansion.

It was there that I now stood.

"Werner..."

Just before the operation began, I rushed to my lover.

Having been administered with P53-c bias factor, the one taking command of the Ashlands Conquest Operation was none other than him.

"Hilda... You came to see me off..."

It had been a long time since we last spoke like this.

Since the incident where the children from the facility had been forced to take the AGE aptitude test, we had gradually begun to see each other less and less.

"...How are the children in your care? Are they alright?"

"...Yes, thanks to you."

I now lived in a shelter where I took in orphans, including Amy, as well as children too young to take the AGE aptitude test.

Perhaps because Werner had helped arrange things, no one had come to ask me to hand them over.

Amy, almost as if in imitation of Iris, had begun to look out for the younger children. Her speech was also showing signs of improvement, little by little.

"They are precious lives that will live on into the future. With you, I am certain they will grow up happy and healthy."

Werner smiled gently, as though his words had come from the bottom of his heart.

"Werner, please be careful..."

"Of course. I'll make sure this operation is a success, and that they remember the AGEs we fight alongside are the true hope that will lead humanity. They aren't to be taken lightly."

Werner clenched his fists as he spoke, a fiery look in his eyes.

The operation would be broadcasted live. It was widely reported that the AGEs taking part in this battle were new heroes born out of countless sacrifices.

If this operation was successful, the treatment of AGEs would undoubtedly improve.

"Finally... The day of atonement has finally arrived. With this operation, I will set everything right."

"So then, you still..."

To repay the children who died...

"...It's time. Please wait for me, Hilda. I'll take everything back."

Werner's hand was on my shoulder as he spoke. Then he set off, his footsteps heavy.

I could only stare at his back as it receded into the distance.

The large fleet departed, heading for Fenrir HQ, swallowed up by the Ashlands.

My feet carried me to Governor-General Gadolin.

"Hilda..."

The control room was filled with countless large monitors.

Though it wasn't perfect, you could get a good look at the battlefield from here.

"Governor-General, I know this is a selfish request, but..."

"Are you prepared to see your loved ones on the battlefield?"

As the governor-general spoke, I couldn't help but clench my fists.

As if I'd ever wish to see such a sight.

But this was as close as I could be to him as he fought under an enormous pressure he couldn't hope to bear.

I leveled a determined gaze toward the governor-general.

"...I see. Very well. You may stay."

Was it just my imagination, or was his face tinged with an unfathomable sadness?

The operation had begun.

The route of the Ash Crawlers was cleared by the resonance radar.

Beacons were placed at safe relay points.

Sighs of admiration were exhaled as AGEs, red armlets shining on both arms, sliced through Aragami with such skill that it was hard to remember they were children.

Werner, leading the young heroes in their charge, seemed quite spirited as well, even through the monitor.

Without a doubt, Werner had been eagerly anticipating this bout.

He must have staked everything he had on this day.

The regular God Eaters seemed fired up as well, returning to combat for the first time after so long.

After so many sacrifices, God Eaters had once again united in the Ashlands.

One of the monitors showed people outside watching the live broadcast with bated breath.

The return of their heroes brought cheers from the spectators.

For a single moment, everyone shared a sense of unity, soaring through despair as they sought the same hope.

Then it happened.

"...! We're getting abnormal readings from the AGEs' vital signs! What is this...?"

The monitor showing the troops marching to the front lines detected something unusual.

"The AGEs' Oracle Cells are becoming extremely activated! These numbers... They're far greater than the armlets' control capabilities! What... It's spreading!"

In the chaotic control room, a single AGE was displayed on the monitors.

As their scream pierced the air that had been filled with hope, both of their armlets shattered.

The AGE's body was devoured by Oracle Cells from the inside out. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into something grotesque, letting out a terrifying roar.

Two, three... like ripples on a pond, the AGEs transformed into Aragami one after another and began running wild.

"All of the deployed AGEs are going berserk! All Ash Crawlers, cease operations immediately! If this continues...!"

I couldn't move a single muscle as the tragedy unfolded on the other side of the screen.

The AGEs that had undergone Aragami transformation had taken on an eerie appearance, shaped by the resentment of discarded children. With a ferociousness that could only be described as vengeful, they advanced on the regular God Eaters.

Within a matter of minutes, the entire unit was wiped out.

"...Werner?"

"Communications lost; status unknown!"

Fresh blood and a system error. The large monitors were all dyed a brilliant red.

The control room was filled with nothing but alarms and warning sounds. A great despair took hold.

"No..."

None of us could accept the reality before our eyes.

"...You can't be serious."

One of the regular God Eaters watching the broadcast spoke.

"This is supposed to be the hope of humanity? This is what so many of our comrades died to create?!"

"No... There's no way all our efforts produced monsters like this!"

Voices filled with doubt and hatred spread through the people, all directed toward AGEs.

The hearts of those who had been filled with hope just a few minutes ago.

They had taken on an ugly hue.

"...Father, can you hear me?"

At that moment, a heavy voice echoed through the control room.

Governor-General Gadolin, who had been silent up until this point, rose to his feet, as though being pulled by strings.

"I'm alive... All the rampaging AGEs... have been dealt with."

I gasped as the full weight of his words hit me.

The video feed still displayed nothing, but a voice that seemed to echo from the depths of hell continued to explain the situation with an eerie calm.

"My ship is still operational. I'll follow the beacons and return."

"Werner!"

I couldn't help but shout his name.

But he didn't respond.

After a silence that seemed to last for an eternity, communications were cut off.

A few hours later, a half-destroyed Ash Crawler returned to Arrowhead.

Werner, completely changed, descended from the ship alone.

His uniform was completely stained with blood. A cross-shaped wound marred his face. The fiery red of his hair was now mixed with the color of ash.

And finally, an additional red armlet adorned his left arm.

"...Welcome back, Werner."

Governor-General Gadolin was the first to greet Werner.

No other voices welcomed the hero's return, however.

Voices of accusation—laying blame for this historic defeat—echoed instead.

"...Enough."

Werner's voice, commanding as it was, was lost in the desolate rage.

"Werner... Did you take the AGE aptitude test?"

"...The only way to stop the transformed AGEs was to use their own God Arcs to slay them. ...Without the adaptive bias factor, there would have been no way for me to wield them all safely."

Werner's voice was horse as he spoke. As I listened, a trickle of tears rolled down my cheeks.

He had wished to save the AGEs more than anyone else.

And yet, to slay those very same AGEs, transformed into Aragami, he had been forced to become an AGE himself.

"Father, please... Put an end to this cycle that twists people's hearts."

Father and son locked gazes. An unyielding silence ensued.

Then—

"...My path won't change, Werner."

Hearing his father's words, Werner quietly closed his eyes.

"...In that case, I want nothing more to do with you."

As though he had reached his limit, Werner collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

I followed closely as he was carried away by the medics.

Only the governor-general remained, standing alone in the center of endless vitriol.

The cause of the AGEs going berserk was a lack of control on the part of the armlets.

The Oracle Cells of the AGEs, who possessed stronger combat and resonance abilities than previous God Eaters, had been activated beyond expectation by prolonged fighting within the Ashlands.

It was believed that the armlets' control had been disrupted, and the Oracle anomaly was transmitted through the Ashlands, causing a chain reaction.

In response to these results, an enhanced armlet was quickly developed. Aptitude tests for third-generation AGEs using paired armlets began in various locations.

The new armlets were fitted with a function meant to restrain AGEs, similar to handcuffs. Apparently, this had been a top priority.

In Ports all over the region, the treatment of AGEs had become harsher than ever. The utopia we had envisioned had become a prison, where children were sent off to a hell known as the Ashlands, and more were built every day.

"...How did you know I'd be here?"

When I received the news that Werner, who had been asleep and not allowed visitors, had woken up, I headed here instead of his hospital room.

A hangar lined with Ash Crawlers.

He'd come at midnight, under the light of the green moon, just as the guards had finished their rounds.

"...Are you leaving?"

I had known he would.

As long as he resided within a Port, his wish would never come true.

I had come here determined to stop him, no matter what.

But when I saw him standing before me, my resolve wavered.

Wounded and worn, yet there was still a flicker of obsessive fire in his eyes.

Only within such flames would he be able to forgive himself.

"...How ironic. The happiness we spoke of that day... I never thought this would be the true form of our utopia."

Werner looked down and muttered to himself in a scathing tone.

I didn't want him to leave.

I wanted to cling to him, beg him to stay by my side.

But then I realized how much that would hurt him.

If I took his hand, one of us would have to abandon our wish.

Werner met my gaze, his eyes filled with countless emotions.

Because we knew each other deeply. Because we respected each other more than anyone else.

Neither of us could close the distance.

After a long, long silence, both of us trying to clamp down on our hearts.

I slowly looked away from Werner.

"I'm sorry..."

His back receded into the distance.

The remains of our dream disappeared into the ashes of this burnt-out world.

I was certain I would regret this moment for the rest of my life.

Even so... I had to accept it.

Perhaps this was my punishment for being unable to do anything.

Around dawn, I finally returned to my room.

Inside, Amy and the children were sleeping, huddled together.

I was relieved. I didn't want the children to see my face right now.

Exhausted, I sat down in a corner of the room.

Only now did I realize how much their presence had saved my heart.

Everything... Everything was gone.

All I had left was my own sense of helplessness.

Even the sleeping faces of the children, who kept my fraying heart from unraveling completely, now seemed to bring about anxiety for the days to come.

I had no idea how to protect them from people's hatred.

My burnt-out dream had crumbled to ashes within me. Would I ever be able to bring smiles to these children's faces again?

Just as I felt my empty heart would be crushed by the weight of reality—

Suddenly, my eyes landed on Amy's sketchbook.

Although she was slowly regaining her ability to speak, her sketchbook was still an important part of her, helping her express her thoughts and feelings. Normally, I tried to avoid touching it as much as possible.

But right now, even if only for a moment.

I wanted to touch someone's heart.

"...!"

The moment I opened it, I saw Iris's gentle smile as she reached her hand out to me.

Was this Amy's memory of her first day at the facility?

Every detail was carefully and meticulously drawn.

The children who had lived in the facility.

It depicted fragments of memories that I had forgotten without even realizing.

Amy must have understood what the children were going through right now.

The drawings were filled with dreamlike scenes, overflowing with kindness.

I turned to the last page. There, I found—

"Amy..."

Me, Werner, Iris, and the other children.

The picture showed our smiling faces surrounded by blooming white flowers.

It depicted the utopia I had once envisioned.

The dream entrusted to this child by her family still lived on in her heart.

That dream was surely being conveyed to the sleeping children huddled together.

Nothing was lost. The dream I shared with my family was still here.

"Please... Don't give up."

An encouraging voice filled my mind. I could feel the warmth of a promise coming back to life in the palm of my hand.

If I gave up now.

Those irreplaceable days. The smiles of those who saw hope within our dream. All of it would be lost.

I couldn't let that happen. I would never let it happen.

"I...!"

On my own feet. By my own will. I would stand up with my own strength.

I felt a small flower sprout within my ashen heart.

Howdy been a bit busy not only from the job hunt but also cause I've been making the switch to Linux specifically Kubuntu. I should be back to my art soon. Luckily I should have an easier time adapting as I've never really used much Windows only software LibreOffice/Krita have always been my go to etc.

Also figured I'd add if y'all wanna make the switch with Kubuntu as the sole operating system here's what I did in the end.

IMPORTANT NOTE I AM NOT IN ANYWAY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU AS A HOPEFULLY SANE PERSON DO TO YOU COMPUTER.FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RESEARCH SHIT BEFORE SWITCHING TO A DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEM.

Optional but suggested use Oracle VM to test if Kubuntu is right for you!If not maybe try out some other distros Linux Mint for instance is considered a wonderful choice for new bros. Flash Kubuntu's ISO to a Usb I used BalenaEtcher. Optional With important files use Winrar/7Zip to compress em down. Archive any files important to you this can be done via Blank DVDS,USBS,CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEMS.I used mega.io. Prepare ze purge get KillDisk on a DVD/USB and wipe the Windows partition to scorched earth. Insert the Kubuntu USB then Restart your PC. Boot into Kubuntu (I also had to spam repeat press ESC whilst the computer was restarting to boot it, this which is something to do with HP from what I understand???) Install it how you'd like it!

ALSO LITERALLY NOT EVEN JOKING IT TOOK ME 8 HOURS TO FIGURE ALL THIS SHIT OUT I MAY BE A DUMBASS STILL I GOT IT IN THE END!
