#sso derek

[wvexyz]

trying to get back into the groove of drawing after being sick but the only thing i can think about is derek from star stable

[toruq]

these 2 people 🫶

[thecedarchronicle]

i thought this trend was very them

[marie-applelord]

Derek redesign! Thank you for reminding me about how dirty he was done @toruq and @simplyssoscreenshots on my last post 💀

I completely forget he wasn't originally white which is pretty sad! I always considered his SSL art as him being Indian and I think it also works lovely for his design!

I tried to tackle his design as more practical and casual, even though it was sooo tempting to make him slay so hard. I am happy with this though, it feels very reasonable and grounded. Again, I am trying to consider and limit myself with how I do these, as if it could actually be fit to add into SSO as it is now.

Hope people like him, I know he's pretty beloved and I like him a lot too. He's just a very endearing character to me :-)c

[hazelnorthpeak]

I'm begging you SSE

Please...

Please give him the updated model...

derek.dlc.was greatit was s.sos good. 10/10 no nmotes im normal

[toruq]

sitting here with a big grin thinking about my favorite character and all the lore i made up for her ignore my eye twitching too

People who have a favorite sso character amaze me. Sso does so little with their characters it would feel like picking a favorite type of millennial gray wallpaper. Good on you for seeing that shit as a canvas to take and turn into something of your own. Your headcanons are probably impeccable

[windforestsso]

I still believe SSO should have rotating events instead of either having them same each time but leaving the players bored or try to one-up themselves to try to keep players interested but would mean the workers work on something that doesnt matter in the long run.

Having there be atleast two years between the same type could make players more excited. Like distance makes the heart grow fond or the like.

With the equestrian festival as exempel.

They could focus on four different riding styles: dressage, western, jumping and terrain. One for each Soul Rider.

Dressage would only have dressage, and not have Sabines races. Anne could have a quest where she teach the mc her routine she was supposed to do in the competition if she wasnt kidnapped (if the player havent saved Anne yet it could be Derek instead and he say something like "I dont know much about dressage but I would watch Anne practice and thought I should set this stuff up in her honor. I miss her") could also add some kind of rivaly with Jessica/jay as they where her villian in the old ssl games

Western would like wise only have western stuff and of players havent saved Lisa yet it could be her dad setting things up. This could be over done with camp western being a thing now. Could have a quest with Sabine. Scott buttergood can be included here with the farm animals running away.

Jumping would have Linda (who is she close to that can hold in stuff if shes still in the castle?) Linda didnt have anything against a dark rider in the ssl game so it could be Erissa. But as she comes to the game so late maybe its best if its mr Sands instead.

And Alex would have terrain. Her quest could go up against Katja. I thought it could be fun if this included outfits thats covered with mud.

If four different equestrian festivals is too much it can instead be split up to two. Like have one version with Dressage in jorvik stables and jumping in moorland. And another version with terrain in jorvik stables(or in greendale) and western in Moorland (could be in starshine ranch but to not have it too much like camp western its probably better for it to be in moorland)

With Halloween it could be that every other year Ydris can take over again to have his party, and those years would focus on the party aspect of halloween, with costumes and tales around fire pit.

And the other years it focus on the more scary part of Halloween, ghost and spiders. Have more tales about jorvikian history.

Dont know how to best split up winter event.

It can also be a complete flop of course.

With people getting mad or frustrated that the current years version of an event is less popular and need to wait about year to play the version they like.

[star-stable-tournaments]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

Who will go up against who is randomized and can be found under the cut.

My SSO OC, her friends and her partners as quotes my friends and I have said

These are utterly unhinged. A fair warning.

Justin: 'Opens at 9am' It's 9am now, why isn't it open?

Regan: Because it's in France.

Justin: Oh.

Alex: I'm gonna tell Lisa about the pact we made-

Regan: Shut the f*** up.

Josh: Do you wish you were like Regan?

Regan: Everyone does.

Josh: *about their girlfriend and the Soul Riders* They're all so sad and emotional.

Justin: I like them big, I like them chunky.

Regan: You don't know my dad, I don't know my dad.

Regan: Bollocks!

Josh: Are you British?

Regan: Oui.

Regan: He told me not to put Saga in there, and she's in there.

Josh: Yeah, she's in there. F*** you, Justin.

Regan: I'm having a midnight crisis, and it's not even midnight.

Derek: Anne, I love you.

Anne: Me too.

Alex: If murder wasn't illegal, I would probably be a serial killer.

Justin: What do you want for your birthday?

Regan: *without missing a beat* A will to live.

Lisa: Bless you, Josh.

Josh: I'm atheist, don't you dare.

Justin: Don't make the sound. It will set him off.

Steve the cat: Meow.

Alex: 'Here is the problem: you started without a plan'

Alex: That's always my problem.

Regan: Dave is a dumbass.

Alex: An iconic dumbass.

Lisa: It's not straight.

Regan: Neither am I.

Lisa: ...fair point.

Regan: I know the internet is unstable. I'm unstable and you don't say anything about that.

For context purposes—C!Regan's partners are Justin and Josh. Don't ask why, my only train of thought was "she would cause drama for the hell of pissing people off" and thus she's dating Loretta's crush. They own a small farm in Epona, with Regan's 100+ horses, and their own horses.

C!Regan is also a full-time search and rescue firefighter (w/ one of her shires, Firebug), so she's extremely tired 80% of the time.

oh good lord where do I start, how far back, how obscure, how do I pick just one thing

but if was just one thing it's probably Laverne, who only appeared in the Starshine Legacy comics from like, 2006? 2007?

What's everyone's favourite bit of obscure lore from any part of the SSO franchise?

[toruq]

derek is so funny like in ssl he was an undercover government photographer with a concerning amount of knowledge about the soul riders and their powers and in sso he's just a himbo paper boy

[thecedarchronicle]
