I thought I'd post my trouble brewing ocs on here

The first 10 townsfolk

It's honestly frustrating that I've seen non-Russian queer people almost bragging about how they would be illegal in Russia, labeled an extremist or terrorist. Russian queers are in danger, their government has made it clear where it stands, and it's made this effort for the better part of a decade (even longer, perhaps). This will kill people, don't mistake this for a quirky little proclamation from a government, akin to somebody saying the sky is pink. Russian queer people were already expressing their fear, and the least we can do now is express our love for them, and advocate with them.

Russian queer people, I love you. I love you all so much. I am so sorry, I cannot begin to express the grief that I feel, and I hope that you are safe. Words cannot encapsulate how I feel as a non-Russian, and I cannot hope to comprehend how it feels to actually be in this situation.

I brew the egg.

I have no cube.

I brew the cube.

I have no reduction.

I brew the reduction.

I have no beakers.

I brew the beakers.

I'm out of orange goo.

And like Sisyphus rolling the rock up the hill in perpetuity, I ask myself: does Baldwin imagine me happy? does he, in his sick transgressions, picture me smiling as I endure the cycle he hath wrought? That in the menial cycle of up, up, up again, only to be met with a sudden and violent descent, I am earning my keep?

Does he understand my pain or is he as cruel a God as the children of the sludge must imagine him.

No life until cube. no cube until reduction, no reduction until beaker, no beaker until the very material we use to survive, food, has been reduced as I have.

to little more than amorphous slop.

Chapter 5: Puppets, Party Planning, and Cosmic Beer

Chapter 5 is complete! Rejoice!

After four months of writing, we have completed Chapter 5, which now sits at over 30K words (for reference, that is approximate the wordcount of a mid-length novella) and over 150 new passages (I am very tired of coding). This brings the total project word count to 88K words and marks the midpoint of our project. For once, we actually undershot our expected word count, but we are rather satisfied with the final product regardless. As always, we welcome feedback. 

So what happens in  this chapter?

The ghost of your (very much living) father guides you in crafting beer, mead, or ale. 

Some very familiar children make a reappearance. 

Holy crap, so many side characters. 

Learn some new sides to the ROs, ranging from the very silly to the very sad. 

Maybe sleep in an actual bed?

And more!

We thank everyone for their patience and support in the last few months.

do you survive an apocalypse because you’re shaped like a dorito chip?

or does surviving an apocalypse shape you into a dorito chip?

something to ponder

[riacte]

mildly embarrassing confession: so i’m obsessed with no rolls barred plays blood on the clocktower and i don’t watch nrb outside of it but i really like the cast and it’s a fun vibe. (also watched a bit of noobs on the gooftower and tpi official vods) there were some standouts cast members when i first watched them last year but this time i’m generally enjoying everyone and liking everyone’s different play styles.

then in my sleep deprived state i start to become slightly obsessed with this one regular. just slightly. like i start hoping he gets big plays and screentime and funny bits. but i also want to see him mess up spectacularly and blow shit up for his team because he always gets stuff comically wrong and idk 💥💥💥 i don’t know why i picked him out of everyone but whatever, it’s just a 2h long game, cool to pick a bias for absolutely no reason, and i enjoy everyone regardless.

then one day it hits me like a truck. it’s because this guy reminds me of martyn. not in the sense he’s like martyn but he has the same effect martyn has on me. inexplicable whimsical fascination and wanting him to explode while giggling and twirling my hair. it’s ALWAYS a witty british man who’s good at improv and also has a WIFE. i can’t fucking stand myself 😭

I saw discourse so this is the reminder to the class that I think the lore would be 1000000x better if Hylia was a magnificent terrifying red bird god and Demise was a ghibli style angry boar god horror show and neither of them looked humanesque at all thank you

Also, fml, I just decided that my Rook is going to be the younger sister of my Inquisitor, Velahris Lavellan.

Like, I can see Ravenna just poking at her sister to actually spill the beans about Varric (because yes, I ship my Inquisitor with Varric AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM DOING SO LOL.) because SHE KNOWS that her sister is hiding something.

Like, she just cannot stop mentioning him in EVERY SINGLE LETTER they exchange (even if she always refers to him in a professional manner), but Ravenna CAN READ through those lines.

Because yes, I am going with the whole shtick of Stoic sarcastic emotionally constipated older sister vs fun-loving, little ray of sunshine (to hide away the sadness) younger sister.

I mean, this just means that Ravenna is already equipped to deal with Lucanis, considering she had to deal with her sister's grumpiness HER ENTIRE LIFE.

But one thing is for sure: at least Lucanis will make a better coffee lol though, I do envision some rivarly between him and Ravenna because MY GIRL CAN COOK (sorry, but as an Italian, I cannot for the life of me have an Italian-Based Character that has no idea how to cook. It's a matter of personal pride lol).

Like, I have to be honest, from what little I know about Lucaris and his personality, I can see him as a bit of a grouchy sad cat.

So now I want Ravenna to be his safe haven, from when things are so dire that not even a good cup of coffee can chase troubles away.

Now I just have to see how things are going to be in general, considering that I made Ravenna's sister a Mage lololololol

gods am stocked.

This will be running in the back of my mind for a while, I already know that things are brewing.

BREWING.

And now I have basically both that and Mephistea running parallels.

this is going to be FUN.
