*WANDERSONG SPOILERS*

I wanna talk about Audrey, the so-called 'Hero.' Now I'm not that good at writing or posting meta but man oh MAN Audrey is actually so much more interesting than I initially took her to be; she's actually deeply insecure about not only herself but how the world perceives her AND has a skewed, dare I say, SUPERFICIAL, idea of what it means to truly be the hero. She primarily sees it as a role she has to play or fulfill, rather than something someone chooses to be, and while she "knows" herself to be the hero, she doesn't actually BELIEVE she is A hero in herself. Even further is that she WANTS to be The Hero but is so dyed in the proverbial wool in both her insecurities and her perception of her role as The Hero that she doesn't want to stop, she wants to fulfill the role she was given so bad that she broke her promise to the Bard when she said she wouldn't kill anymore Overseer spirits upon killing the King of Hearts because, how she sees it, 'that's how it is.' What was interesting is that Audrey spoke about her dislike of being told what to do and where to go when Eyala was acting as her guide, that she found it demeaning that she couldn't think or act for herself, but was that her interpretation of being told to back down by Eyala? After all, Eyala did mention to the Bard that when she warned Audrey, Audrey felt that Eyala was 'taking something away from her', and that something was the role of The Hero, without which she would still be a nobody that no one saw or knew or cared about.

She wants to be the Hero and is so attached to that role and the adoration it had brought her and wants to fulfill that role because she believes that what truly makes her and that without the title of Hero and the Sword and the powers, she can't be A hero. Her insecurities tell her that she can't be A hero outside of being THE Hero, and she can't understand not only how the Bard had gotten so far but how he continues to have hope, despite his own innate feelings of despondence and his own melancholy. But he keeps going because of his hope, hope that he can still save the world and that there is always another, better way, a way that one can choose. A different way to be a hero, if you will. And I personally think that the Bard's approach to being a hero, it's confounding to Audrey for many reasons, one of those being that he wasn't chosen by anyone or anything to be a hero per se, but he chose to be a hero HIMSELF, despite everything acting against him, including Audrey herself. The Bard admitted he's jealous of Audrey being chosen to be the hero and her sword and her powers, not knowing that his innate goodness and his CHOICE to be good make him a hero, without the need for a sword or a title or a higher calling.

I honestly love how Wandersong toys with the definition of the word 'hero', and not only subverts the typical fantasy RPG hero archetype with Audrey, right down to the outfit and the magic sword, but DOUBLE subverts her; she could have been a twist villain who was simply a villain masquerading as a hero, but even this was subverted by making her not a hero, but not quite a villain either, but an insecure girl who sees herself as a nobody and is so obsessed with fulfilling a role that makes her a somebody that she's going to end up destroying the world and herself (both figuratively and literally), but is blinded by her self-perception and insecurities so that she can't see anything within herself that's heroic, making her both a mirror and a foil for the Bard.

I'm not sure where I was going and I know Wandersong isn't the first game to do this but I love how it was done here so far (I'm starting Act Seven), not least because I hated Audrey at first but she's actually growing on me, as much as I hate to admit it, not least that she actually resonates with me much more now this revelation has come about. I was pleasantly surprised and now I want to study this girlfail mess of a human being under a microscope.

Does anyone know if Dream has the ability to lie? If Nightmare can't (or on principle- won't) then what does that say about Dream..

Okay, I just want to make sure I understood right: due to Noe not being supposed to be existing, the sentient ramblings from Noe (a glitch/anomaly), as well as the fact that eggs are supposed to have something in them, as well as the fact that Noe was rambling to Bad Egg, Decamark/Deca came into existence inside Bad Egg/the egg, and hatched because Bad Egg and Decamark couldn't both exist?

Like: due to Noe being a glitch/anomaly (which isn't meant to exist), their ramblings weren't meant to exist either, and there was at least the expectation or thought that there should be something in Bad Egg, which was (I theorize anyway) amplified by Noe talking to Bad Egg as if there was something in it, causing Decamark to materialize inside Bad Egg (but Bad Egg isn't meant to have a Pokemon in it), so then it turned into a regular Pokemon egg and hatched [into Decamark]?

I hope that makes sense. It can be a bit hard for me to get my thoughts on paper (or an ask, in this case).

You did fine! I definitely got the gist >;3

As for your thinky thonks, very interesting! However, Bad Egg is another in game Pokémon glitch, that, unlike Missingno., is what the game will do to automatically curve corrupted or glitched data!

So if you toy with the games code via cheats or glitches, the game will combat the bad data by shoving it into an unhatchable egg, labeled as a Bad Egg in the old days. Kinda like a Quarantine. So in my world, Bad Egg was the worlds natural way of dealing with anomolies!

Then, Noe appeared early and began to assist in dealing with anomalies due to his main purpose not being needed anymore. Thus, his existence influenced Bad Egg the more time he spent around it. Eventually causing the this being to want to manifest… and did so as a small baby mew, taking after it’s only influence. So Deca and Bad Egg are the same creature, just in different stages of existence ;3

[lumen-tellus]

2nd path screenshots!!!!!!!!!!! significantly more shots bc for some reason i lost my mind everywhere lol idk why

i really like the shots i took with the temple interior - partly bc i love dramatic lighting which is easier indoors imo, and also bc my glam REALLY fits in well with the interior aesthetic more than the very nature-y outdoors lol

oh AND JUMP PUZZLE!!! kinda. i really liked this part it was actually kinda cute in a way?? also loved how it made me do a little thinky-thonk trying to figure out how to proceed for a second lol

[burningfeathersx]

He sure would. It's the worst thing for people that live on false pretenses. Really gotta do a thinky-thonk, Al.

"Caught. Though it has been an open secret." Not putting so much of a concerned inflection as a detached one. If he didn't make it seem like a big deal (big as it was behind closed doors) then it wasn't. They did go on a other-hell date in full public view. Though Alastor may not connect tiny twink him in a dress to burly suit wearing him right now.

He had to consider his response here. A lie would mean that Lucifer would sniff him out. Not that he was particularly devoted to capturing Vox's attention. But it was always a bit of fun to cause the occasional technological frenzy in the other overlord's ~programming~ or what-have-you.

But even that, he did not find prudent to give away.

"If you would like to talk to or about him, I certainly will not stop you. From what I hear, you've intertwined yourself quite well with his... enterprises." Alastor tilted his head at Lucifer. There's a truth for you.

I’ve grown attached so this is probably going to become a full self insert not for just to be a dad to fish I guess. What a life I am living.

[sweet-tart]

this came up in my d&d game last night. we’re running a game set in exandria and currently the group was in ank’harel, and one of the members was investigating some things going on at the Crystal Chateau (which is the magic school in ank’harel for those who aren’t aware). 

it just stuck out to me how the crystal chateau has like whitestone (which makes residuum) gravel that covers the grounds to enhance their magic. And even while vox machina was there made a deal with percy so they could import it from whitestone more often. and how that contrasts with the cerberus assembly's methods of shoving residuum (made from whitestone) into the arms of children. lmao yikes.

Handsome thinky man do big thonks.

What's on his mind?

[justblades]

Thinky thonks ab sensitive luca w hyperspermia,, top luca is hot but I honestly wanna break him nd overstim him until he’s cumming buckets nd sensitive!! Just think ab how pretty he’d look

• 🪶

being on top of his body as you continually ride his dick, you'd pull it out just as when he's about to cum and gobble all the excessive amounts springing out of his little slit. his thighs would flinch everytime he catches his release— toes curling, strong hands gripping the sheets. his facial features become soft in expression, it was so obvious he's so sensitive and so overstimulated + you like every of that little detail about him. he just goes absolutely bonkers when you'd swallow all of his seed with ease.
