#ouroboros game

[1863-project]

A friend just sent me a visual novel where you are on a train and you have to both solve a mystery and can romance the other passengers but of course they both made the conductor adorable and did not give him a route so I once again have been cockblocked

It’s just now hitting me that when Jimmy leaves the mouth of post crash Curly’s head in that bizzaro hallucination sequence it is symbolic of him as the parasitic tongue eating louse needing to leave the host after it has died.

The head is missing Curly’s eye likely representing that blind spot Curly had for Jimmy along with the last bit of Curly that Jimmy could feed off of and impose himself through is truly gone now, a realization that likely is another reason Jimmy broke down so quickly after the feast.

He no longer could hide beside the perception of Curly and now all his words and actions, at least in that moment, were all his own with no way else to spin the blame. He tried to feed his host itself, cause feeding off of him worked for Jimmy not understanding or admitting he’s eaten too much himself.

Nice Little Things

Thank you so much @antivan-sprig for the tag! This was so much fun (:

Rules: Choose 10 objects that you will place in the room of your Rooks on the places intended for customization. These should be small objects that can be placed in the following places: 2 on the tables by the doors, 2 on the tables by the aquarium, 4 on the bookcases and 2 on the walls. Attach a photo of these objects and give a short description of why your Rooks chose them.

I am going to go ahead and put my tags here, and I'm also tagging a lot of people because this is so fun and I am curious: @basedonconjecture @flowersforthemachines @thedissonantverses @bg3daydream @cute-ellyna @sugar-peanut-cat @glitteringdust @woundedsoul12 @seaglassmelody @jouskaroo @biowaredisasterbisexual @complikatedd @grimrevolution

Anyway, Cyri's things under the cut:

Tables by the door (2)

Rogue’s Practice Kit

This is canon, but feels necessary. Healing potions, lightning elixirs etc. Sometimes she and Harding work together in the infirmary or elsewhere, but the kit always ends up back in her room. Sometimes she mixes when she can’t sleep.

Neatly Stacked Sheet music

When Cyri starts using the music room, the Lighthouse sometimes provides the odd page of a piece of music she remembers (a la Lucanis’s joyous Wyvern) and she starts collecting them in stacks. Also occasionally Emmrich gifts her music which she’s always very embarrassed about.

Shelves (4)

Pitcher & Washbasin

Cyri doesn’t mind getting dirty but likes to wash up. Good for a short scrub down in the morning/before bed when a full bath isn’t necessary and/or practical

Whetstone

Like the above, very practical. Always making sure those throwing knives are sharp. Often does this before bed, Cyri finds it oddly soothing.

Asorted Tomes

Most from Tevinter but some picked up on her travels. All are history/war strategy based. Some written in old tevene and practically falling apart. Others are in common, collected from some of the other factions, and one from the crossroads that seems to have been originally penned by ancient elves

Wood-Carved Rook

Presumably made by familiar hands (it was) Manfred brought it to her with tea one night. She was too embarrassed to bring it up to Davrin but it’s always displayed where she can see it.

Wall Hangings (2)

Tevinter Mirror

Hangs above the washbasin for practical reasons. Also reminds her of home. But because i can’t resist it is also an ouroboros, which is representative of the cyclical nature of birth/death and also a load of other things that all feel relevant. First time Harding sees it she does her cute little disgusted face and tells Cyri that it's super creepy.

Tapestry of a cliffside Beach, Ventus

Its a really nice tapestry she stole out off an Altus family when raiding their house to free their slaves. Ventus pre-invasion is really nostalgic for her because she spent her younger years there. So she’s kept it with her. Makes her a little melancholy to look at but also hopeful. I like to think that everyone else thinks its weird she has a fancy beach pic up in her room when she literally cannot swim, but no one asks about it.

Aquarium Tables (2)

Bonsai Tree

This is kind of canon, but I’ve incorporated it into my canon via the Rook’s Birthday fic i wrote. At some point in her travels with Harding and Varric they came across one of these and Rook found it cute, but remarked to Harding that she’s never be able to keep one alive because she’s never really settled down and couldn’t take it with her. For her birthday, Harding gets her one which is special both bc she remembered and because Rook has a permanent place to be for a while so she can finally have one :')

Disused Thurible

Usually used to distribute incense at mass, this one sits untouched and still smelling faintly of frankincense and citrus. Stolen from a Chantry in Marothius. It's scratched and slightly dented from being hauled around thoughtlessly in a rucksack for many years.

[defiledtomb]

there's this really deep belief in me that says I can't post anything related to ouro anywhere anymore & I hate it & I hate it & I hate it. I have so much !! to say :(

[MORE STUFF UNDER THE CUT!!]

more with @portableletterzone >:]

[monochrome-stars]

was talking with a mutual earlier (you know who you are.) and peopleeeeee. post game. i know siffrin deals with a lot of shit mentally and psychologically and emotionally but lets not forget the physical aspects that affect them

the constant feelings of hunger that cannot be satiated, the lack of sleep from looping and just not sleeping, the fact that i dont think siffrin has drunk a thing of water in over at least 30 loops, the lasting pain from previous loops (banana, anyone?)

theres so much that siffrin wont be able to immediately bounce back from and two hats no doubt exacerbates everything even further. buddy has been dealing with all the shit i just listed plus headaches and the world falling apart and constantly fighting. they were so weak in act 5 that isa had to support them and basically carry them to the head housemaiden before siffrin decided to use EVEN MORE ENERGY on the fight

tldr: i dont see enough post game sif dealing with the physical affects of the loops and i feel like we need more of siffrin being forced to recover from that shit

[taisakai]

Man I love blazblue entropy effect and Hazama gaming. So this is how I completed story mode.

Snakekicking final boss because I can and this is funny.

Just chilling. :]

I stomped through 1 and 2 phases because I need some anti-stress. Shitty gifs go!!

Peak gameplay.

Ever think about how tragic it is to be in The Universe's place as a being that loves all of creation but can never express that in a way that the subjects of their affection can understand so they created a middle line of it. To grant any and all wishes just to show that they are there, they are listening, and they are giving you the means to grasp what you desire.

But it's never enough because to a higher being such as The Universe, with no bias on What wish to grant or a bias on What is right or wrong, they grant wishes indiscriminately. Because they love everyone, so they grant everyone's wishes, all the while bending it so as to prevent needless damage, because they love you.

But their love is also what hurts you, like how Loop had to give up in the end cuz of how hopeless it all seemed so Loop had to make another wish. And how Siffrin continued to suffer during the timeloops, and especially how much it hurts Loop, to see someone else achieve what they've always wanted to have. To Loop, they're The Universe's favourite cosmic joke but to The Universe, they love them.

They granted Loop's wish, and then granted another, they continuously grant Siffrin's wish. They love them, but they don't know how much it hurts all the same because they can't understand the way all of creation expresses love. Because their own language is incomprehensible to anyone else but them. Ever think about how lonely it must be to be a higher being with a language only they can understand.

The Ouroboros

[dexjarxenoengage]

The Xenoblade and their wielders.

[crimsonajax]

ouroboros (to consume oneself)

[louroth]

thought it's about time I poked my head out of the mire, and confirm that this period of silence just seems to be a part of my process. I can't wait to show you what I am working on. It has taken on a life of its own. It's beautiful and untamed like a wild horse. So much has and is changing. I love it to pieces. !!

[myvoidarcade]

my fav characters in tv shows are always the ones that have like two seconds of screen time and deliver snarky comments. serving more than the main character tbh

[interact-if]

Hi, does this demo sound familiar to anyone? It’s a post apocalyptic fantasy game that starts with the PC living in a cabin in the woods near a river/lake with a mute mermaid until they get conscripted. And one of the ROs is someone the PC knew in the past that lost their physical body looking for their lost teammates & is a shadow/smoke person living in armor now. Thanks <3

Hi Anon,

It does sound familiar, actually, that we think it might be Ouroboros by @louroth. You can find the demo here!
