#starfall isle

[grumpy-triceratops]

If you want, here’s a free infodump card for the hero/villain thing you were talking about earlier.

I'm going to take a swing and assume this is about my oc stuff, if not, whoopsie. Either way, thank you so much for this ask I really appreciate it!! This may get long so I'll keep it under a read more.

So I never mentioned in my last post that the name of this story is Starfall Isle because that's the name of the location where the story takes place (side note: I did have to change it because this ask made me realize I should look it up and initially I was going to call it Starfall Isles but that's the name of a location in Flight Rising so I dropped the s). However while I have been thinking about this idea more since the last ask I still don't have a lot of stuff I feel concretely about. I would like it to have some kind of end goal but overall it would be more similar to superhero cartoons where it can be kind of episodic but a bigger plot can start to build up along the way.

The main character's name is currently Kailani Sparks and her hero name is Knight Star. As the name implies she has star related powers such as making stars she can walk and fly on (all Kirby-esque), as well as star-shaped blasts, transforming changes some aspects of her physical appearance as well such as her hair color and the way it glows (though to what degree/duration I have not decided). Her powers will also develop in various ways as the story goes on. Kailani can be a bit bumbling and ditzy but she has a really good heart and fast reflexes and she will fight you if she has to!

The character I talked about previously is now named Sapphira Reylin (though I am still wavering a bit on her last name) and her hero name is still Cross Rozen. I've started to define her powers a little bit more, she has her demonic form she can transform into, she also has fire and plant related powers (I'm not sure if I want her to be able to element bend them or if its just something she can generate and wield) and with her fire powers comes a bit of a fire resistance, she can also create swords/daggers.

One of the main villains is named Inevitable, she appears in amorphous forms to conceal her identity. Her powers involve her being able to change states of matter, I may have it also that she can change a target's weight and/or how gravity affects it but I don't know since I don't want her to be too overpowered. Personality wise she's very impish and loves toying with others especially Knight Star. Inevitable is also very influential often plotting and playing a hand in the villainous underground. I have some ideas on her civilian life but not many and they'd be secrets anyways since I don't want to give away everything on the chance I hopefully make this a comic or something one day!

Another prominent though less imposing villain is Marsupialia. Her powers allow her to take on the traits from any marsupial she can think of, she doesn't fully transform into the animals but it does influence the way her suit appears as well as give her the ears, tail and claws of the corresponding animal and possibly other traits unique to certain species. I almost forgot to mention that regardless of form her powers include: heightened smell and hearing, as well as her pouch ability. This power allows her to turn any bag into a pocket dimension however she can't put in anything that wouldn't otherwise fit into the bag's opening, so like she couldn't take a car but if it fits it shifts (into her pocket dimension). Marsupialia like Inevitable can be a bit cheeky and likes to mess around with Knight Star, but unlike Inevitable who has a cat and mouse dynamic with Knight Star, Marsupiala has more of a cat annoying another cat type relationship, speaking of: she also is more of a cat burglar type villain. I know a bit more about her civilian self but again, secret.

Then I just have variously fleshed out ideas for other heroes and villains mostly just ideas for powers I think would be interesting such as origami, scissors and plush related abilities. So yeah its a lot of just shifting vibes for these characters and this story but the more I think about it the more I'd like to try and solidify these ideas, so again I appreciate having an excuse to think about it!!

personally a firm believer in long hair dewey >:o)

[the-meme-monarch]

man whatever. bww book scene redraw. i do adore how balan is written to be dramatic and maybe a little snarky

also i took some liberties in making the dialogue more expressive, also i think it'd be funny that balan (and lance) can't help but speak in rhyme so sometimes they'd have to force it to say things that don't exactly rhyme

[aberration-abbey]

Finally finished this map of the main location in my Flight Rising lore, the Rubellite Delta! Acuity Ridge and the Starry Night Inn are both here, as well as various other settings I don’t talk about as much.

The Rubellite Delta was once a bustling trade route, with great sailing ships taking cargo from Focal Point and the Oculus of the Eleven to trade routes in Dragonhome. However, the shallow, tumultuous waters of the Delta often make for dangerous sailing, and new treaties granting access to overland trade routes in Plague territory have led to the decline of shipping in the Delta. Now, few dragons go there except researchers, soldiers, and people who have something to hide from.

Descriptions of marked locations under the cut.

ACUITY RIDGE: The site of my main clan, Acuity Ridge Clan, a close-knit group of mages, fishers, and runaways who have banded together to face the shifting elements.

BORDER OUTPOST: A military outpost keeping an eye out for activity along the Plague border.

CRYSTALBONE KEEP: A clan of tundra miners. Originally from Ice Flight, they relocated to the Starfall Isles nearly 300 years ago, and have been one of the dominant forces in the Delta ever since. Luther, progen of Ac Ridge Clan, is from here. 

GEMHOLLOW: An Earth town that’s friendly with the dragons of the Delta. They host a yearly festival that is the biggest event in the area.

GHOST KEEP: The former home of a clan that was wiped out by a particularly vicious Plague attack a few years before the new treaties were formed.

GLOWING REEF: Warped by the ambient magic of the Isles, this area has bioluminescent coral. It’s the home of the local Maren, the Glowing Reef Clan.

HARPY TOWN: A currently-unnamed town of harpies. They have a strong trade relationship with Crystalbone Keep.

INKSCRY: The nearest large town. Mostly notable to the Delta dragons for its university and its market.

STARRY NIGHT INN: The only waystop between Inkscry and Gemhollow. Once played host to hundreds of sailors, merchants, and wealthy travelers; now mostly houses ghosts and its weird little family of employees.

WITCH’S CANYON: Supposedly cursed, definitely full of eldritch runoff from the confluence of Plague, Arcane, and Shadow magicks. Home to the witch Crow.

the arcane ancient better have SO many limbs. i want a giant bug

[inbarfink]

[timewontwait]

a little reminder, for those who might not be clued in...

fleethero: takes place not long after forces. signs of sonic being more distant and reserved and... not himself would have been there - if you did manage to catch him before the next time he had to use the emeralds to fight eggman.

also takes place before frontiers. i'm not sure how large the time frame gap would be but there would need be some recovery time for him after he does come out of fleet-arc and into the next adventure. preferably several months. maybe even a year. hedgehog's got some self work & healing to do.

[wereh0gz]

I am going to think about this for the rest of the day

[starry-kattz]

I wonder if Forces and Frontiers actually take place really close together. I wouldn't figure that, but it would explain the lack of cannon Chaos Emeralds. Cause even if Eggman had the good sense to not gather the thing that, while useful to his plans, consistently enables his defeat, you'd think the Resistance would be trying to gather them. Even if we consider that very very stupid male hedgehog rule cannon, the Resistance has Silver and it's not like the Emeralds aren't useful outside of Super forms. Like, they were on the ropes for most of the takeover, sure, but it's silly that they seemingly didn't invest resources in tracking them down.

Universal Orlando Reveals First Look at Celestial Park Coming to Epic Universe

Universal Orlando will open their new park, Epic Universe, next year. Today, they offered a first look at the hub area that will be Celestial Park, calling it the “heart of Universal Epic Universe,” and a look at the portals leading into different lands. Previously we had a lot of trademarked names to go by, but in a press release, Universal Orlando confirmed a lot of the information about names…

Venti AU Colorwheel | Ko-fi link

After months of drawing on and off...I have finally done it. The Color Wheel Challenge but with a different Venti for every color

AU guide under the cut because I have A Lot

Red: Boiling Isles AU - Witch Venti where he is part of the Bard Coven, but still manages to get away with messing around with Oracle magic due to Bard magic's range in spells

Orange: Vessels AU - Bodysharing au with Nameless Bard because gods need vessels to be able to walk among mortals and hide their divinity

Yellow: Possessed concept - that one concept I had about a god from Celestia possessing Venti out of nowhere and he like, keeps the outfit afterward because screw them

Green: Starfall AU - Ghost Trick AU where Venti's a dead magpie that sometimes takes his friend's form in the ghost world

Cyan: The Nameless AU - Honkai Star Rail AU where Venti is a prior Trailblazer of The Nameless on the Path of Harmony

Blue: Gathering of Cloudy Days AU - BlazBlue AU where Venti is an artificial human. Too much to explain but he's in his armor in the art instead of his regular outfit. He has a bunch of swords and keeps having to witness the timeloop

Violet: OG Cryo Archon Venti AU - Basically Venti dies and gets brought back wrong after 600 years or so in this scenario so he's just kinda in the process of crumbling like ice

Magenta: Roleswap AU - Corrupted Venti au where he is the one that's more severely poisoned and Dvalin manages to get through the Cataclysm unscathed. He is Not having a good time

You can also refer to this post for summaries for most of them

I'm also kinda realizing most of them can be grouped together in terms of similarity like, orange, yellow, and green have something to do with possession; cyan and blue are both sci-fi; and then there's purple and magenta being corrupted Venti AUs. Witch Venti is an outlier

A screenshot of an archived recording from one of the first broadcasts of ANN-TV, formally known as Arcane News Network. Here we see Handsome at the start of her illustrious career as The Starfall Isles’ favorite news anchor.

At the time the news of no more Imperial scrolls was a big talking point.

The Eyes of the Beholder

Rhaenyra Targaryen x Male Dayne Reader

Rhaenyra Targaryen, the realm’s delight, did not feel beautiful today. It was the early morning on the isle of Starfall and Rhaenyra was sat upon the beach as she was oft to do every morning. Her gown had been soaked around her ankles and bum for the better part of an hour now, though she had hardly noticed. 

Her thoughts were awash with doubts as she stared out towards the Torrentine. It was only eight days ago that she had given birth to her fourth son and it had become strangely apparent to her that she was not the beauty she once was. After ten years of marriage Rhaenyra and Y/N had produced no less than eight children together. The thought brought a smile to her face. She and her husband had been rather over eager in their passions. 

The truth was however that those births had added weight to her once slender form. While Rhaenyra and her husband enjoyed the new size her breasts and bottom she had quickly become quite frustrated with the weight around her middle. This frustration was often made worse whenever she saw Alicent, still slender and slim despite having birthed four children of her own. She often feared that in time her husband would grow disgusted with her and in time would seek out others. There were so many after all in Dorne alone not to mention across the Narrow Sea and in Westeros itself. 

These thoughts liked to creep into her mind in the early morning and late into the evening. They would often leave her quiet and staring into the mirror, reminiscing on her once beauty. 

The sound of splashing dragged her out of her thoughts.

The reason for Rhaenyra’s love of watching the waves in the early morning was twofold. On one hand the sound of the waves and the cool air were calming and brought her a sense of peace. On the other, was her husbands love of swimming. Lord Y/N Dayne loved to swim around the entire length and breadth of his Island Castle and Rhaenyra loved to watch him. 

Y/N had also gotten bigger over the last ten years except unlike Rhaenyra Y/N had turned said weight into muscle. This was made easy due to her husband’s love of swimming and many other forms of exercise, he often spends hours training with his houses ancestral blade Dawn and loved wrestling and grappling. Rhaenyra loved to watch him train, not only was it incredibly attractive to watch Y/N’s muscle flex and move but it also made Rhaenyra more comfortable, it was a comfort to know just how well her husband could and in fact would protect her if needs be.

The sight before her was one she had seen many a time but still never grew tired of witnessing. Her husband came out of the water in naught but his small clothes and while a grin broke out across her face at the sight of him and thoughts of more amorous activities flooded her mind she couldn’t stop herself from covering her stomach. 

Y/N approached sluggishly, as there was no way possible to exit the water attractively. A smile broke out across his face as soon as he saw her, his true smile, the one that reached his eyes. The slow walk turned to a quick stride as he got closer. The sight of his approach made Rhaenyra’s heart beat faster and heavier, made her smile almost painfully wide and made a blush spread across her face and ears. 

He came and sat before her folding his knees under him. He looked nearly boyish in that moment, smiling like a fool without saying a word. The two of them simply sat there gazing at each other simply smiling. 

“Hello gorgeous.” Were the first words spoken, quietly, as if he was speaking reverently of her. Rhaenyra merely took him by the face brought his lips to hers. joy flood into her as it often did when they kissed. 

They parted for a mere moment and Y/N stopped to look at her. “What’s wrong Rhaenyra.” She averted her eyes though she knew she couldn’t hide her upset. She never could, not from Y/N. “It’s too early in the morning to be so distressed.” Rhaenyra had turned her face into her shoulder, a vain attempt to hide herself but Y/N had followed her turning his face with her. No longer desiring to hide from her husband, it was to want to she knew, Rhaenyra steeled herself. Taking a deep breath she spoke. 

“Do you still find me beautiful Y/N?” The shock that over took his face would have been funny if Rhaenyra was in a joking mood but she remained stoic. Y/N appeared almost offended by the very question when he answered. “Why wouldn’t I Rhaenyra, your as beautiful now as you’ve ever been.” His response was earnest and yet still Rhaenyra’s face was still downcast. “Who would call you anything but lovely Rhaenyra, tell me they’re name, I'll strike them down with a god’s wrath.” A laugh bubbled up from Rhaenyra. “No one Y/N I swear no one had offended me so.” A laugh interrupted her and she brought her hand to his cheek once again. “Though thank you for caring so much as to kill someone for my pleasure.” The two of them laughed quietly. 

“I will be honest with you then my love but please try not to judge me,” Rhaenyra breathed deeply again. “Over the past I have begun to notice, after the children have been born, I have kept more weight on my stomach than I should have been.” Y/N once again began to speak but Rhaenyra’s raised hand stopped him. “I simply do not feel as beautiful as I once did, I know you love me but it does worry me that perhaps one day you will decide to seek out another younger woman.” She wove her hand through his long dark hair, Y/N closed his eyes and took her hand. 

“Rhaenyra I want you to listen to me and hear everything I say.” She nodded. “I have loved you since the moment I first saw you as a boy. You are as beautiful as you could possibly be.” Y/N came forward, making Rhaenyra lie on her back. He settled his hands in her splayed out hair, as he loved to play with her silver locks. Y/N locked eyes with his wife before he spoke again. “There may younger women, prettier women, women with larger tits, tighter asses and the like.” He brought his hand down to stroke her cheek. “There will never be a woman more beautiful than you in my eyes, no one. And there shall never be another woman as beautiful as you to come.” 

Y/N began to kiss Rhaenyra’s neck, long deep kisses which pulled moans deep from within her throat. He descended slowly kissing a trail down her body. He opened her night gown, revealing her breasts to the early morning air, he kissed both of them for some time before moving on. He made his way downwards to her belly and stopped. He kissed it once, twice, thrice then over and over and over again. It was obvious what he was doing but Rhaenyra had not married him for his wits but rather for his honesty and frankness. It was not to say his kisses were ineffective either. Rhaenyra became hot once again, warmth flooding through her chest as Y/N’s kisses continued. 

After much time and many more kisses Y/N finally stopped. Crawling back upwards he sat between her legs, Rhaenyra wrapped them around his waist almost instinctively, and he kissed her lips again. “You may grow as big a house if you so desire Rhaenyra Targaryen and should any man call you anything less than beautiful I’ll kill them and the next generation of their families. No man or woman will demean you in my presence, not even yourself.” 

He brought his lips to hers once again, passion colliding as they embraced. Rhaenyra knew in that moment that no more words need pass between them, Y/N intended to prove his loyalty the best he could. It was long into the morning that they loved each other and Rhaenyra in that moment, could not have felt more magnificent.

ROUND 3 BRACKET A

Petri belongs to @starfall-isle

Matilda belongs to @halcyon-pandion & @frostios

Find out more about them below!

Petri:

Petri is a excitable and prideful Secretary under the tedious Eggman empire, hoping to one day climb the latter and prove her worth as a scientist and chemist! Although the doctor doesn’t seem to know she even exists.. Work pals with Orbot and Cubot, Petri takes whatever opportunities she can get to talk herself up. After tagging along during one of Eggman’s particularly explosive battles with the blue blur himself, Petri is fired after Eggman takes his sore loss out on her. Now with a newfound grudge towards Sonic, she’s set herself on a charge to get her job back, with the help of three detectives for hire. Catch is, she’ll need to help out around the office as an intern for the Chaotix if she wants to keep their trust

Matilda:

Funny ant who became a real girl through the power of love and SO many chaos drives. She was once Shadow's pet ant who he rescued from being eaten by Knuckles. After being fed chaos drives, Matilda suddenly formed a chao-like chrysalis and mutated into a Mobian. She now is the youngest member of Team Dark, basically a little sister to all of them. Her main goal now is to train enough to become as strong as she can to one day beat the shit out of Knuckles as petty revenge.

the little banescale collection in my hibden is making a concerted effort to split off into its own lore clan. i’m not sure there’s much i can do but let it
