You do sometimes have to wonder about the ending where the KC dies but Areelu stays alive and spends the rest of her days in a cabin somewhere.. the how?

As in- could the rest of the party not finish her off? Would they not? Or is the implication that right after the KC jumps into the worldwound she and the rest of the companions stare at eachother for a moment before she teleports away?

[nalydraws]

I see a couple of you are TTRPG fans!! Good news: I have even more art of that TTRPG party!!!

First here's my character, Kriswara! (Last name still TBD Th' Oracle is just to continue my trend of driving the GM insane by naming characters like Doryu Snickellia (Do you want a Snickers) and Merric Gen'eric (Pronounced Jhe-neh-reek)). No real chronological order here but thats ok

will you kill them or spare them?

SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY :D

Do you have more details on this “legend is 14 agenda” because it has overtaken my brain (in the best way possible) and thought I’d ask just in case you wanted to share! :D

Yes ive been waiting for this one!!! In my au i like to think when the chain met legend, and eventually asked how old he is, he told them to guess. Warriors guessed 19 based on his looks and the amoubt of adventures he's been on, and Legend just said "yeah that works".

In my brain he started his first adventure when he was about 6-7 years old, so during cadence pf hyrule he was 7-8, then 8-10 for the oracles. Then links awakening happened, and he was lost at sea for about half a year? Then he got a small break before albw. Albw happened when he was like 12, then 13 for trifoce heroes, and I also like to shove any and all non-canon games into his breaks for extra trauma yk.

So when he meets the others he is only 14, and is desperately trying to keep the chain from ever meeting Fable, Ravio, Myth or Ballad because they will immediately expose him.

Its also very funny to me to look at some of the lu panels in this context because just:

Look at his face

Hes so small look at him

Youre telling me this ^ is not a kid?

(Added bonus of this headcanon is the comedy of Warriors beefing with a 14 year old)

I have a post with my headcanons for the rest of the chains age as well here if anyone is interested: https://www.tumblr.com/damfangirl08/757276696485429248/in-my-brain-this-is-how-old-everyone-in-the-chain?source=share

What do you think about a PJO (Percy Jackson) x DC AU? Like who do you think would be their godly parents?

Like Jason feels like a son of Ares; Dick could be a son of Apollo, but I also like him being a son of Venus (he’s pretty but also linking to her war battle/strategy on her Roman side); Roy feels like a son of Hermes although with the archery skills, it would be easy to just say Apollo; and like Tim could be a son of Athena?

Oooohhhhh it’s been a while since I read the books, but I’m on board. Obviously, you’re welcome to your own opinions, but here’s my thoughts:

I know it seems like a cop out to say Jason is a son of Hades, but hear me out. He’s literally the black sheep pf the family. Hades does the dark things that must be done, but others won’t. He’s so often left out of Olympus that people forgot about him. He’s more than just the god of the underworld, but people are so often consumed by that single side of him that they don’t see anything else.

Dick is Apollo, cause Apollo is about more than just being pretty. Apollo is a leader and a teacher, both things Dick is known for (see Titans, and Teen Titans). He is the averter of evil. I know Apollo presides more over music and dance, but I would say those are close enough to acrobatics to be notable.

He also has close ties with Pythia, AKA The Oracle of Delphi – Hello, Babs… Oracle… It fits too well. He is the averter of evil.

Roy, I agree, could go either way. He’s got the tricksy gab of Hermes, with the wit and the cunning, but I’d lean toward Apollo again. Goodness knows he channels the healing of Apollo everyday as an ex-addict, a story of learning moderation and self-awareness much like Apollo and the sun. As well as the obvious ties, like archery and protection of children.

Tim being a child of Athena seems right. You could perhaps argue Hephaestus on account of innovation, but I think the wisdom and strategy of Athena takes it.

If you’re interested, I would also say:

Duke -> Apollo

Barbara, I’m cheating, but The Oracle of Delphi

Cass -> Athena

Alfred -> Athena

Damian -> Torn between Athena, maybe Ares

Steph -> Hermes

Bruce -> Hades (For different reasons that Jay)

Selina -> Artemis

Actual residence: Everywhere

Age: 27

Powers: Technopathy, teleportation

Affiliated groups

Former Titans member

Birds of prey

Bat-family (ocasionally team ups)

Story

Summary

"I sometimes feel like just a contener filled with what it shouldn't be, i should've stayed as a software"

Imogen or Image is a person who in an accident got absorbed by electric power and got teletransported to the first place that allowed her to adapt herself in the first transition to human-software. The software takes the name as Image because thats the first way to communicate she learned being trapped in the virtuality and forgetting almost everything of who she was before the program.

She ends up sticking to the Oracle program and gets transported arround until the software settles in the Titans tower. Where she learned and served to the team, as well finding herself as the person she was before her dead and incarceration in the image program. There she acquires the abilities pf Technopathy and Teleportation.

When the team finds out she's an actual human being trapped in the Image software, Donna and Raven colaborate together to make a body that Image can host succesfully. Getting her back her human body, due to the lack of memory she takes Imogen as name (in honor of the program) and Brock as her last name (in honor of one of her favorite fictional characters: Eddie Brock).

She stablishes as an official member of the Titans when a Black out hits the tower in middle of a crisis caused by blockbuster. Her Tecnhopath abilities are crucial to keep the team organized and united during the Black out. In the end of that storyline the team accepts her as a former member.

Hi, can you do a reading about Twice's Sana ideal type? Thank you

Sana’s Ideal Type

(Take my reading with a pinch of salt and sugar)

Oracle cards— reverse squirrel and laurel, antelope and and wheat.

It seems Sana’s ideal type is someone who’s not in the limelight as her. I think she’s find a lot pf people in her industry too proud so her ideal type is someone who’s not shallow and high on superficial success. She wants someone who can nourish their relationship and has no problem with her career and isn’t threatened by it.

Tarot cards

Ace of cups and Queens of Wands

She prefers a person who can allow her to be independent and doesn’t enforce power dynamics onto her. I’m sort of seeing her asserting that she doesn’t even mind being the breadwinner but she wants her ideal type to be okay with that and not get insecure.

Ace of cups suggests she also values compassion, is emotionally intelligent and affectionate. She might also value some spirituality in her ideal type.

Also I used my mythology deck so the illustration for Ace of Cups is Matsuo’s Sake which is also making me lean towards the interpretation that she would also prefer her ideal type to be Japanese.

My Trip to Japan! ⛩️Part 1

LONG post. All of these series will be long AF.

9.12 ➡️ all dates are dd.mm

When we arrived at Tokyo-Haneda, I was down with a terrible cold. I dozed off quite a bit during the flight, but I was still exhausted. We left our luggage at the hotel near Shinbashi station and, after a rather forgettable lunch we strolled around fancy Ginza for a while. I soldiered on, but as we approached the Imperial Palace gardens, my body gave up, and we returned to the hotel. I stayed sleeping all afternoon. Husband, after a nap, went out to continue exploring the area and had dinner around there. Around 9 pm I ate some chocolates I happened to have, only to avoid taking the cold medicine on an empty stomach, but I wasn't hungry and went back to bed almost right away.

10.12

I had a relatively good night, with only a bit of coughing. We had breakfast at a nearby cafe and went to Ueno. We walked around the park a bit and visited the National Museum, as well as a couple of temples on the park grounds. From there, we walked to the Okachimachi area, where we had a very tasty and cheap fish lunch. Then, we took the Yamanote Line to visit the stairs of the Suga Temple: the ones at the end of Kimi no na wa. There were plenty of fans taking pictures, of course—though we were easily the eldest. (The stairs do not belong to the temple; the temple entrance is right there after you climb them)

After that, we headed to Shinjuku, and went up to the (free!) observation deck of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. It was already dark, so we were treated to the beautiful views of the the lit-up city.

On the way back, we passed by a Don Quijote. "Donki," as they call it, is a chain of cheap stores where they sell all kinds of things: snacks, drugstore, stationery, electronics, household items, accessories, even a sex shop section. It's a good place to get items from brands or characters at more economical prices than in the official stores of those franchises. I bought cute Ghibli and Sanrio stuff here, and in fact, the variety of Sanrio items was on par with some official brand stores I visited, and the letter sets I got here were better. Donki is a perdition: ontop pf price and variety, it's absolutely packed, and its labyrinthine structure makes it too easy to get lost inside, so getting out is more complicated than getting in.

11.12

We took the subway to Asakusa and visited Sensō-Ji, the oldest, they say, Buddhist temple in Tokyo. Plenty of souvenir stalls, amulets, and omikuji (fortunes). I left my omikuji tied to the bars set up for that purpose, as tradition dictates if the oracle is not favorable to the wish made; Husband asked for the same, but he got a good omen; looks like it's set up so that the gods always look good.

Also, I got my first goshuin. Goshuin is not a regular stamp; it consists of one or more stamps plus a calligraphed text bearing the temple name, date, and the deity there enshrined or a fragment of some sacred text. Depending on each location, they write it in front of you in a moment (and it'beautiful to see how they work) or make you leave your notebook while you do the tour, and they return it sealed at the end. I used the blank pages of my travel journal, but there are specific notebooks for collecting goshuin, and some temples only do the stamp on those. In those cases, they already offer the goshuin pre-stamped on loose papers. Prices range from ¥300 to ¥500; some more important temples offer several models and also special goshuin, double both in size and price.

From there I dragged Husband to the Solamachi shopping center for me to raid the Ghibli store. Don’t ask me what other shops are there. The mall itself being quite a maze, I didn’t have time to check for anything else. Since we were already there, we decided to go up to the Sky Tree tower. At ¥2000, it’s the most expensive entrance ticket we bought (save Ghibli Park). Despite the shitty weather, the view from 350 meters high was amazing.

Since the tower was out of schedule, we were a bit tight on time to get to the Ghibli Museum. It's on the outskirts of Tokyo, in a place called Mitaka.

We lunched some overpriced sandwiches and then went to the museum: What a beauty! The building, in the middle of the forest, has a distinct  Hundertwasser vibe. The entrance ticket contains a freaking, actual piece of film! Ours were from Ponyo and Howl’s moving Castle.

Photos are not allowed inside the museum, only in the gardens; while it’s a bummer, I can get it. Everything looks so amazing, circulation would be impossible if everyone was caught up taking pictures. The exhibit about the creative process and the colouring of the animation cells is so full of detail, you could spend the whole day inside. There’s also a room where they explore different animation techniques. if you’ve been to a ciname museum, you’ll likely know about most of them, but the fact that here they’re made with Ghibli cuteness in all its glory makes it absolutely wonderful. The Saturn cinema features shorts made especially for the museum. On the day we went there we got "Pandane to Tamago-hime," a beautiful fairytale whose MC, the supercute Egg Princess of the title, forever stole my heart. I bought a keychain doll of her in the shop (aptly named "Mamma, aiuto!," as one does want to just loot it all) and hung it from my backpack for the rest of the trip. We had tea in the Tuscany-inspired museum's cafe.

We returned to Tokyo and headed to Shibuya. We went up to an ridiculously expensive (¥1500 entrance with a drink – beer or soft nothing fancy) bar on the top floor of the Magnet building. Except for the views, the place had zero vibe, but well, that's what you get if you want to take a picture of the famous crossing from above.

On the sixth floor of the same building there’s was a One Piece store, I got the stamp, but I didn't buy anything. I'm not a fan of the post-time skip aesthetic, tbh. I think it’s worth mentioning that many train stations, businesses, and tourist spots in Japan have commemorative stamps available for visitors. A simple and totally free way to have a souvenir.

I was also floored by the overwhelming commercial density of the city. Any middle-of-the-road, six-metre-wide building hides a mini shopping centre inside, not like, a mall, but one or two businesses on each floor. Some even have businesses on the lower floors and residences above. It's mind-blowing.

We also passed by Daiso. Daiso is a famous ¥100 store chain. Real ¥100, not like pound stores, where half of the items cost more than that. They have everything, and everything costs ¥100. Cute stuff, too. Real licenced merch, not bootlegs. Plus all kinds of nice house and kitchen stuff. It's extremely difficult to resist buying everything.

12.12

The rain frustrated our morning plans; didn’t fancy getting wet when I was just recovering from the cold. At noon we went to Shinjuku, had lunch at inside the station and, 1:15 sharp, we departed by bus to Yamanakako, at the feet of Mt. Fuji. After settling into our Japanese-style room, we went to the private onsen we had reserved during check-in. This was the only bath we were in together, as public onsen and sento are segregated.  

13.12

The next day was cold but sunny. We took the bus to Oshinohakkai, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Oshino is the village, and the hakkai are a series of eight natural springs, hence the name (八海 combines the kanji for "eight" and "sea"), which have been revered since ancient times as sacred places where various gods reside. The place is beautiful, peppered with ponds from which tiny streams emerge, with carp and trout swimming, and Mount Fuji in the background, truly delightful.

We went back, bought some food at the konbini to have lunch in the hotel room, and then we hiked to a Shinto shrine on Ishiwari mountain. It was grueling for a couch potato like yours truly, but the struggle paid off, and the small shrine up there is an almost magical place, next to a sacred rock with a narrow crack through which, they say, if you pass three times, your wish will come true. We went down a different path that took us straight to the village onsen, perfect for relaxing after the physical effort.

14.12

After breakfast, we said goodbye to Yamanakako to take the bus to Mishima, from where we took the Shinkansen to Nagoya. Nagoya, however, didn't welcome us with open arms. The signage to the Sakuradori metro line was poor and and without a damn elevator or escalator, which is baffling in a station of that magnitude. After carrying the suitcases to the platform, we saw, by the signs for the exit for disabled people, that there was but one (1) elevator. To make matters worse, it was noon, and the restaurants were full, so went to the hotel to leave the suitcases first and then went out for lunch, already starving.

Belly full and content hearts, we walked to Nagoya Castle. The castle consists of two main pavilions, the castle itself (the defense tower, which was closed) and the Honmaru palace. The original was destroyed in World War II. Many paintings, however, were saved, although for preservation reasons, the ones exhibited are identical copies. The current castle was rebuilt in the fifties. The rooms were beautiful, with a minimalist luxury that stands out more when you think the castle is from the 17th century, and Europe was in full-on Baroque mode then. The city is very different from Tokyo. Wide, grid-like streets, downtown more aesthetically cohesive. More breathing room.

After the castle, we paraded through the main shopping streets of the city and briefly passed by Osu Kannon Temple; it was already dark, so we walked back, looking at shop windows, and had dinner at one of those places where you put coins in a machine, hand over the ticket, and they prepare the corresponding dish. Decadent vintage vibe, the food just passed, but it was an interesting experience.

Back at the hotel, we used their onsen, or rather sentō. As washing before entering is a requirement, and they provide soap, shampoo, and conditioner (ofc you may byo), we came out spick and span, and it meant we did not use our room shower at all either here nor later in Nara where we also had a sentō. Sounds like a smart move for the hotel to save water if you ask me.

My little googus

[basketobread]

some art of my oc Oracle (aka Warlock but in the pathfinder universe LOL) during his younger years as a Shelynite + one of him as a wee lil baby!!

[rambutanwhimsy]

// see the problem is, the only oc I give a shit about right now is a pf2e bone oracle who is basically conscripted into being a spy for a sketchy eldritch society. That also involves earth Russians. From early Soviet era. That shits all canon and able to be done in pf don't worry about it

[cheolsfae]

can you do a jongho soulmate read :3

Suree

*Disclaimer: solely for fun! Please do not take this seriously. For entertainment purposes only!

Past: knight of pentacles

Slow moving. This person is slow moving. They do not like to rush into things. They like to take their time getting to know the whole situation with whoever or whatever they are dealing with. Which is great but can also be a bit of a curse if they move too slowly. But I think Jongho is the type to move slowly too. I don't think he likes to rush into things too quickly. I think they are both the "strangers to friends to lovers" type of people. Nothing wrong with that!

Present: 9 of pentacles

Someone with great discernment. They can tell what is meant for them and what is not. This person can weed out whatever is not serving them pretty quickly. I don't think they have a problem cutting things out if it doesn't fit their visions of the future they have planned for themselves. They do this very frequently too! Maybe even a little too much. They need to tone it down just a little bit.

Future: 4 pf pentacles (reversed)

Because they move so slow and are so used to weeding things/people out, it's going to be difficult for timing to work out for the both of them to meet. This person may delay meeting him because they are kind of stuck in their own ways a little bit. I think this is going to be slightly off putting for Jongho. But I mean, he will get through it. It's just going to set him back some due to this person being kind of hard to get close to.

Bottom of the deck: 4 of wands

Union and harmony is in their future. This person does need to pump the breaks of cutting things out. They are going to only delay meeting Jongho. When the two of them finally come together, I think one of them will be stuck in their head about this whole thing and maybe thinking about it a little too much. Whoever this person is, they need to just go with the flow and just roll with the punches because you can't fight a soulmate connection! Lmao!

*Oracle deck was also used!

[nalydraws]

"And then I saw it. In a broken piece of mirror. The reflection of the monster that must have done this. Ashen eyes, ashen, burnt hair. Much shorter than it had ever been. And a face, an all too familiar face… Covered in that same, pale white… Stared back at me."

[ooc-miqojak]

As I start Baldur's Gate, now that it's finally had enough patches to be playable and not missing huge chunks of story, I can't help but laugh because I didn't know that Shadowheart was a cleric of Shar! My longest played/favorite Pathfinder character was an Oracle of Selune (yes we co-opted some gods from WOTC to toss back into Pathfinder, we do what we want - and Oracle is to cleric what Sorcerer is to Wizard...but better, yet), whose twin brother was a paladin of Pelor (the sun god)... and I decided to re-make that old character in BG3 since a cleric of Selune is almost the same thing as an oracle, and lo and behold my moon daughter ends up having to deal with Shar AGAIN. In another AU. (The best part is that Shadowheart's lil tiara is exactly like the one I had given Belorae in our PF campaign - she got a circlet of Cha I think it was, and had it re-tooled to look exactly like what they did for Shadowheart's circlet, just with moonstone instead of onyx.)

Anyways, did you know that when Selune and her dark twin collided in their original big battle, some of their essence smashed together, broke off, and birthed...their daughter? The Goddess of magic.

Desperate to protect the early life, Selûne tore out some of her own divine essence, though it nearly killed her, and hurled it at her sister. Selûne's essence tore through Shar, bonding with some of Shar's essence and pulling it loose. This magical energy combined to form the goddess Mystryl, the original goddess of magic.

Anyways! Best not to think too deep about how gods are born - the Greeks had some strange ideas about people being born from ideas, or sex with a swan, and all that.

tl;dr I've missed Rae, and I'm stoked to have someone in the party that will easily bounce off of her ideals, and create some conflict - even if Belorae can't ride a horse-sized wolf in this one. (Also, I have wanted a tattoo indicative of Selune for myself IRL for YEARS now, and haven't been able to find a design that looks good just about anywhere - so I was at least pleased that my BG3 Belorae could have the tattoo around her eyes! I just wish the colors were more silvery.)

Not relevant, but ironic -

Afterward, Selûne grieved the death of Tyche, her close friend and ally. In her weeping, she shed one crystalline tear, which fell to ground as a meteor in the land of Thar. It became a great and sacred artifact, called the Tear of Selûne.[63]

So WoW has copied Selune over as Elune in almost every way, even down to the Tear of Elune being a rip-off? I knew they'd basically been virtual DnD at the time the game was released, but I didn't realize just how hard they were bearing down on someone else's lore.

Anywho, I wonder if more people (ie content creators) realized this, if they'd have a better avenue for predicting where WoW's story will go - because even Shadowlands was basically ripped straight from Tabletop. Pathfinder's planar campaign book has many planes listed in it... to include a plane of order that sounds and looks a LOT like Bastion/the Kyrians, just with more clockwork stuff.
