The Brave May Fall

Technoblade, a vigilante with the alias Atlas, is revived, and welcomed to a world he barely recognizes. He's, at least, fairly certain he's in the same universe.

What the hell happened while he was gone?

.

“I believe that less bad people in the world would make it better.”

“That’s counterintuitive.” Technoblade retorted.

“How so?”

“If all the good people killed the bad guys,” Technoblade starts. He grabs the gun from Phil’s hand, slowly. “How could you call them good?”

.

SBI Supervillain AU VERY LOOSELY INSPIRED by DC's Lazarus Pit plot, except I want hero SBI going >:C and Technoblade going 'Wtf?'

I wrote this for a secret santa event in a discord server I'm in! (3 Musketeers Server)

INCLUDES:

Dark SBI, Possessive SBI, 3/4 SBI who went >:C when Atlas dies, Technoblade who went WHAT THE FUCK when he's revived, Kidnapping, Some depictions of gore, Some implied torture, mentioned mass murder, Syndicate SBI, Angst, Hurt no comfort, Betrayals, Morally Abhorrent SBI save for Technoblade, Dream dies in this one, so does a few others, NO MAIN CHARACTER DEATH, lots of minor character death, Violence, someone's earring getting ripped off, mind control

I’m sorry, WHAT???

300???

Where did you all come from???

Thank you so, so much!!

I’m sorry, I have no artistic talent and have never really done headcanons before, so I don’t have much to offer you guys. That being said, as I’m sure you all are sick of hearing by now, I do have an Arcana Discord server that I’d love to chat with you guys in! *entering commercial mode under the cut* **surprise at the very bottom** ***don’t just skip to the bottom, that ruins it***

Do you like memes, the Arcana, chaos, and fun? How about a mansion of a Discord server that virtually has a channel for everything? Well do I have the server for you!

We have:

amazing people

chaos

really laid back group rp channels

The Rowdy Raven (exclusively 18+ access)

periodic art exchange events (kinda like a secret santa type thing)

c h a o s

a yelling cave

a channel for each route

a whole category where you can gush about and develop your apprentice(s) and familiar(s)

c h a o s

Neve! (you’ll learn to love Neve, don’t worry)

Still unsure whether or not you should join? Well, here are some out of context screenshots that may help you decide.

Never mind that last one

So as you can see, we’re a bunch of idiots. But we love each other and we’d love to meet you all and have you become a part of the Wandering family!

Enter the Realm

If you’ve made it this far, I’d like to say that while I’m not a good artist, I do want to provide for you guys as a thank you for this awesome milestone. That being said, if you’d like to enter a giveaway for a sh#tty sketch done by me, please reblog this and add “wandering” to the tag so I know you actually want to enter and didn’t accidentally reblog it. o.o (multiple reblogs do in fact count as multiple entries) Giveaway entry will end in on 2/4/20 at 12:00pm EST Three winners will be selected at random and will each receive a simple sketch of their own choice (I’m so sorry in advance) I’ll DM the winners to discuss what they each want their sketch to be of.

Can I? HELLO?!!! I’m guessing you already know JereJean is one of my fave AFTG fic categories, yes? So, the short answer Y E S I absolutely can…and will. Longer answer: I want to get @djhedy‘s + my convo in Ch 9 of the Podficast up + finish beta'ing an original work by @i-h8-u-no-u-dont (that is SOOOOO good + I’m almost done!) But, I can’t leave you w/out something so here are 2 looooong ones I adore to help you stay sane during the quarantine. Have you already read this? Read them again! They.are.that.good. Look for things you missed the first time around; comment w/extra care. There’s always something to notice in re-reads.

Remember my caveat: any time I recommend works, the expectation for you dear readers is to lavish these writers with your complimentary comments!

Don’t know what to say? Use keysmashes + emojis!Tell them where you are/what you’re eating/what music you’re listening to when you’re reading! Use short phrases to tell them how their work is helping you stave off boredom inside your room/apt/home during this pandemic! What you say doesn’t matter; the act of showing appreciation does.

 playing on by flybbfly (M, 142k, 2018) - There’s a reason this is one of the most recommended JereJean works: it’s so damned good. @wilsherejack writes Exy games exquisitely well, her writing is economical + she knows how to write a slow burn, that’s for sure! Plus, there are playlists for the work and...another favourite aspects of her writing...most of the characters are people of colour.  "Who knew California Golden Boy Jeremy Knox could play dirty?”Jeremy grins. “Best kept secret on the west coast. Told you there was a western division striker who could dispossess you.” “On a practice court, maybe," Jean says. "Try to get it away from me during a game.”Jeremy leans back, bracing himself on gloved hands. “Luckily, I won't ever have to.” In which Jean Moreau and Jeremy Knox play exy, share a dorm room, and accidentally insult each another a lot.

a bicycle made for two (or three) by lazarusthefirst (E, 99k, 2018) -  When artist Jean + his daughter Maddie move into their new apartment, they get be-friended by one of their neighbours, a guy who works in a bar + feels a little lost in his life these days. I fell so hard for this fic that I completely embarrassed myself by gushing at the author who is @thetrojeans on Tumblr. In hindsight, attempting to move into a new apartment on January 2nd had been optimistic at best. For one thing New York was four feet deep in snow, and even the neighbourhood kids with nothing better to do than shovel it for dollars couldn’t keep up. The other hindrance was due to the fact that Santa had been very generous this year, which left Jean standing on a patch of sidewalk he’d kicked clear himself, holding his four year old daughter’s hand and wondering how he was going to get all of their stuff plus the Pink Unicorn Princess Dream House up four flights of stairs without something breaking.

THANK YOU for asking after myself + my loved ones. I’m grateful to report rn all 4 of us are healthy in body + usually in mind too. Starting last week Mr FSC began working from home. Daughters C + H are finishing up college classes online + well-situated in their homes, 2 + 3 states away. Who knows what’s happening for their respective graduations, but they are optimistic, music to a parents’ ears + heart. Weekly FaceTime family dinners are a saving grace. Ditto gardening + seeing birds, kids, cats, dogs + neighbours from inside the house or our yard. Yesterday,  using the magic of FaceTime, I “went on a walk” w/my 98 y.o. Auntie who lives in CA. When I started to ReaLLy FrEaK out dear @pomponia nudged me to write a list of things I cannot control + those I can. It’s helping. I’m sleeping 8-9 hrs a night + worrying not a whit about that. Sometimes I take naps too. Thank goodness for Discord which helps me stay in touch w/dear fandom friends around the world. 

Yes, there is much to fear. 

Yet, as always, there is much to be grateful for. 

I do my best to focus more on the latter + remain steadfastly joyful.

Sometimes it is easy; other times I am frozen on the couch. 

Mostly, it’s one foot in front of the other.

Let’s encourage one another, shall we?

Love to you dear one! ~Cory

2019, oh how you’ve destroyed me.

basically i’ve seen a ton of posts like this, especially by one of my best interweb pals (lookin at you, C @hey-im-pan ) and it’s inspired me to make one of my own! i journal a LOT but it’ll be interesting to try and sum everything up in little synopsis.

*side note: i struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ocd, so those and their effects may be mentioned. be cautious. This also doesn’t include a lot of the more personal instances, so don’t take it as an accurate representation of what it is like living with these issues*

January:

Honestly, not much happened. I went on a college visit trip with a few of my friends to my dream school, which was stressful but informative, and my anxiety attacks were far and in-between. Sleep schedule was wack (has been since 7th grade), but i was functioning. Dysphoria (i’m nonbinary, but hadn’t really even come out to myself then) was pretty high this month in particular for some reason, so i finally started trying to convince my mom to let me cut my hair off. (I had like 2.5 feet it was a mess)

February:

Finally came out to one of my close friends as pan, kinda accidentally but she was chill with it :) My grandma had a weeklong sickness that scared the shit out of me, but she got better for the time being. I was constantly pushing myself academically and physically at practice, but my grades were taking a bit of a nosedive because i didn’t have the capacity to deal with everything, but i bottled it up because i hate feeling weak. I continued to explore my sexuality, and started to research the gender spectrum.

March:

School and Crew (rowing sport) were the only things on my mind at all times. I started having more anxiety attacks again, and decided it was time to talk to my doctor about going back on meds after 3 years off them. IB was kicking my ass, but i’m so grateful for all of my teammates for giving me an escape on the water. Started to accept I was non-binary.

April:

A month full of good vibes i really needed. Got my drivers license on 4/20. I hiked my grades up with the help of extra credit, held a “wedding” in a Dillard’s try-on section, and spent a few days of spring break at the beach with two friends. I finally cut my hair off!! That feeling was literally incredible and i try to get a haircut every other month to actually keep up with it now. Saw endgame, died inside, and competed in an art show! I was doing really well, so I went off my meds again (don’t do that without a doctors permission like me).

May:

BAdddd time to be off meds, anxiety and depression were dropping my health and IB finals kicked my ass and the class i had been most excited about taking had become my worst at this point, but I got through the exams without missing any. Went to Jr. Prom though! We actually used going to Jr. Prom as a coverup to throw a surprise birthday party for my best friend. I still have no idea how she didn’t figure it out. I also started talking to one of my internet buds, Rosie. She’s helped me through so much she doesn’t even know about, and it such a beaut inside and out <3

June:

MADE IT TO PRIDE MONTH!! I finished my actual finals with minimal panic attacks, and join a Parkner discord! That was short lived, but from it was born… The What the Actual Fuck Fam, whom i love dearly. You guys still crack me up, and i know i’ll always have people to fall back on ( or help me commit murder.) Turned 17 and watched Monty Python (again.) Was forced into not one, but tWo bible camps, but also went to my first pride in my city! I have never felt so loved by so many people i don’t know :)

July:

Depression hit me HarD. I was constantly in a bad mood and taking it out on other people and myself, and I was losing even more sleep. Went back on meds for a bit. I got to see Far From Home, but pretty much isolated myself from anyone in my real life. July is always hard for me to get though for some reason. On a happier note, I started talking to @winterrs-child , who I now love dearly and @exbrodokills , which started out by exchanging memes but i think we can now call a friendship :D

August:

More depression, yayyyy, but Rosie and my irl friends helped me through it so much, even if they didn’t know it was happening. I finally came out to my parents and grandma as pan. They honestly took it pretty well, even if my grandma thinks it’s a ‘phase’. Also came out to C, B, and T as non-binary. Ya’ll were the first people I told after a YEAR omg <3 developed a huge celebrity crush on a cosplayer i won’t name even though they’ll never see this :’) Also fell back into the kiribaku pit after finally stabilizing my Parkner obsession. Also, joined a sapphic server which is basically a big gay support group :) (thanks to Rosie)

September:

Started my senior year of high school. So far, it’s pretty much been one big panic attack but i’m managing. I’m a mentor on the crew team this year and have adopted pretty much every underclassmen on the team. I love them all equally (except for my favorites) Cut my hair even shorter! I love it! Got back into writing poetry and short stories after an intense writer’s and reader’s block that lasted for almost a year. Went off my meds again (I should stop doing that, ik) Went to a Harry Potter fest, which was great, but started building up major anxiety for planning the rest of my life.

October:

SPOOP MONTH. October is my favorite month, so I was determined to make it good. Went on a couple more college tours, but also celebrated fall and halloween with my favorite people. Came reallllly close to stabbing my IB Bio teacher, but he’s survived, so far. Cosplayer mentioned earlier followed me on insta, cue gay panic. i also accidentally created a huge cuddle pile of 30 girls on my team in the captain’s backyard. It was as amazing as it sounds :0 Applied for 6 colleges

November:

CAVETOWN omg. I was also murdered with a bent hammer (don’t ask) and my mental health was pretty stable. I joined yet another server created by the cosplayer, and have made so many friends through it, plus gained a new dad figure :). Contemplated buying a binder on black friday, didn’t and deeply regret it (planing on getting one with the christmas money i get from my homophobic grandfather we pretend doesn’t exist) Discovered the goodness of Baby Yoda. Did pretty much no spanish homework. Solid 7/10

December:

Honestly, school wise december has been the most stressful month of this year so far, and the 2nd worst depressive episode. I’ve written 6 essays and done 5 projects this month and that was not a good time for the already low seratonin levels. i got waitlisted for the school i mentioned earlier, but was accepted into the other 5 :) I got to see an Of Monsters and Men concert, and I’m trying to push thorough til break, but my grandma has been getting sick more and more frequently over this year and now she’s been in a lot of pain for over two weeks and in and out of emergency care 6 times. Just hoping to make it to 2020 with everyone in tact and healthy :) I’m doing a secret santa with my friends im looking forward to. My friends have been amazing support through all of this mess, even if ii didn’t tell you about it, and i love you all!!

Santicorn 2019: Tarot Dungeon

The OSR Discord is conducting its second annual Secret Santicorn, a Secret Santa event but with OSR creators and content requests. I’ve received a lovely dungeon, the Temple of Lethe, from SherlockHole at The Mimic’s Nest. In turn, my gift to AuraTwilight of Paimon’s Silver City is a dungeon based on tarot arcana.

To Aura: Sorry I couldn’t do the greaser! I’ll write some magical girl stuff to make up for it. Also sorry it’s so late, I got stuck a bunch of times so this is more a collection of ideas than a cohesive dungeon. Hope you enjoy it, and Happy Holidays!

The Hand of Fate

An ambitious scholar made it their life’s work to understand the secrets of fate, how to predict it, and how to change it. After years of collecting knowledge, they built a wondrous palace in the mountains and invited visitors from far and wide, both seeking new secrets to add to their research and offering their divination services for a fee. The palace is interwoven with their fate-altering magic, said to look different to each visitor. Now the scholar has vanished, but their palace still stands, home to invaluable knowledge and valuable treasure alike.

An idea for the dungeon entrance:

Bridge A pair of stone columns sit 10’ apart at the edge of a canyon, forming a doorway to a sheer drop. Between the columns lies a large bindle containing a statue of a small white dog, with a piece of paper attached reading “Seekers of truth, pay your toll, and let the light be your guide”. When fed money, the dog comes to life and glows like a soft flame (3 hours on 1 gp), shedding light that materializes ethereal things within 10’. The dog is friendly and will follow basic commands.

An ethereal stone bridge spans the canyon between the two columns, ending at an ornate wooden door painted with a white rose. The rest of the palace becomes visible when the door is opened-- a grand, lofty structure of stone columns.

(Buxian Bridge, Huangshan, China.)

A room idea for each major arcana card. Rooms can be rolled for randomly, either on a set map or in a nebulous, shifting space like the Gardens of Ynn.

Room Contents (d22)

Chasm. A bottomless pit bisects the room, too far to jump.

Workshop. A table inlaid with a magic circle. 4 paints sit next to it, each labeled with an element (fire, air, water, earth). Shapes drawn in the circle will transform into objects made from the chosen element.

Veil. A thin veil hangs between a white pillar and a black pillar, completely dividing the room. Both pillars are made of a chalky pigment that rubs off easily; the veil is intangible to anything marked with white pigment, and solid as stone to anything marked with black pigment.

Garden. Beautiful trees, crops, and running water. The garden has a calming, nurturing atmosphere, and here living creatures heal 1 HP per turn.

Throne Room. A grand room with a regal, gilded throne. While sitting on the throne, any command you give to another creature must be followed, but you must make a Wisdom save to stand up, with a -1 penalty for every command you have given.

A locked cabinet containing a golden staff and 56 keys, each assigned to a specific fateworker (4 models, 14 units each). The wielder of the staff sees through the eyes of every fateworker whose key is attached to the staff.

Fruit Tree. 2d6 delicious-looking fruits. Eating one gives you a random unusual sense, and encounters in the dungeon have +1 morale when fighting you specifically.

Palanquin. The size of a wagon, with solid walls and locking doors. The person in the driver’s seat can mentally direct the palanquin to hover 5’ in the air and move as fast as a horse. The driver takes 1d6 damage per turn from the strain.

Statue. A woman holding both hands out in a pacifying gesture. Any creature within 10’ of the statue must Save to do anything aggressive or violent.

Wasteland. A vast room shrouded in magical darkness. Takes 2 turns to cross.

Wheel of Reversal. A raised stone wheel with two pedestals on opposite ends, turned by a crank on the wall. When turned 180 degrees, anything on the two pedestals will have their most opposite properties exchanged. Ex: dagger and torch switch material, fighter and wizard switch classes, identical twins switch personality.

Scales. Each hanging pan is large enough to hold a person comfortably. Weighs contents depending on how moral they are.

Gallows. If you hang from them upside-down (the way that kills you slower) for a turn, you can ask the GM one question about the dungeon or something in it.

Graveyard. Several coffins containing a variety of perfectly preserved humanoid bodies. In the center sits a suit of black plate armor with the word “Rebirth” carved on the skull-shaped helmet. Anyone who puts on the armor drops dead, and their soul reawakens in a random one of the bodies.

Canal. A wide raft floats slowly down the deep channel. High ledges on either side are piled with treasures, but standing close enough to reach them will tip the raft and cause it to start flooding.

Altar. A sacrificial fire burns atop it, magically compelling anyone who sees it to throw themself in. Shadow copies of anyone who has touched the fire appear to drag others in.

Tower. Several stories tall, with a good view of several other rooms in the dungeon. Thunderclouds hover over it, and once per turn a lightning bolt strikes a random spot on the tower (4d6 damage, Save for half).

Reflecting Pool. The room is dark, but the pool reflects the light of 2d6 small stars and one large one. The stars are embedded in the ceiling; small stars are precious gemstones and the large star sheds light like a lantern and boosts nearby magic.

A stone well, with a dim, foreboding light suspended above it. Anyone who focuses on the light for more than a few seconds must Save vs. fear or fall into a deep sleep. Nightmares of sleeping creatures emerge from the well every round.

Sunflowers. A dense field of flowers, taller than a person. The heads face upward, allowing a careful person to walk across them. The flowers radiate uplifting energy, and eating one can heal a minor injury or curse.

Crypts. Rows of coffins in alcoves along the wall; a trumpet rests on a central one. When you blow it, the nearest body rises as an undead under your command. After the first use each day, you must Save or the undead will be hostile towards you.

Dungeon Map. A large spread of purple cloth with the dungeon layout traced by glowing lines. Two wands sit next to it; one draws on the map and the other erases. Any changes to the map manifest in the dungeon.

A dungeon denizen, based on the minor arcana. Fateworkers are the palace staff, meant to perform maintenance and serve visitors while the scholar is busy perfecting their research.

Fateworker 1 HD (5 HP), unarmored, move normal, morale 8, punch 1d4 OR attack varies by model Human-sized clockwork automaton. Wheels for feet, white sash with logo indicating model type. Tinny, synthesized female voice. Wants to assist guests and eliminate disruptions in the dungeon. Logical and calculating, but somewhat gullible.

W-model: red flame logo, carries wand, 1/day spells: firebolt, light, minor illusion P-model: gold coin logo, carries toolkit, can repair broken object or fateworker in 1 turn C-model: blue goblet logo, carries pump and internal tank that holds 1 gallon of liquid S-model: silver sword logo, armor as leather, carries longsword (1d8) and shield

(A cross between Light Hope from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and IG-11 from The Mandalorian. These shows are both very good.)

Bonus: Tarot Encounters

These probably don’t fit with the dungeon rooms above, but I also statted up a few creatures based on the tarot-inspired JoJo stands because that seemed like the kind of thing to do. Disclaimer: I knew nothing about JoJo before starting and know nothing about JoJo now, all information used to make these statblocks comes from the wiki.

Sand Guardian 2 HD (10 HP), unarmored, move 1.5x normal, morale 12, bite 1d8 Sand animated in the form of a quadruped wolf-like creature, with a feathered, beaked mask. Growls like blowing wind. Wants to be left alone and to protect its mask. Wolf intelligence and instincts.

Living sand: Regains 1d6 HP each round as long as there is sand or dirt nearby to patch its wounds. Mask bound: Dissipates into sand if its mask is removed. The mask can be used once per day to form a new sand guardian from a sufficient quantity of earth.

Scarlet Inferno 4 HD (20 HP), unarmored, move normal, morale 12, punch 1d6/punch 1d6 OR fire blast 2d6, 10’ radius, Save for half A muscular humanoid, barely visible like a heat shimmer. Roars like crackling fire. Wants to burn things. Near-human intelligence, but single-minded.

Pure heat: Invisible unless someone spends an action looking for it. Attacking it with things that would put out a fire, like water or smothering foam, turn it visible.

Sludge Shifter 0 HD (2 HP), unarmored, move normal, morale 6, bite 1d4 A fist-sized blob of gray goop with limbs and teeth. Cackles like a high-pitched garbage disposal. Intelligence of a malicious child.

Conglomerate: Can merge with others into harmless gray sludge piles. Mimicry: The pile can return an exact duplicate of any inanimate object submerged in it. The duplicate is actually one or more sludge shifters, waiting for the right moment to transform and bite someone.

Parasite Queen 0 HD (1 HP), unarmored, move none, morale 10, punch 1d2 A brown wart that grows into an ugly brown growth with a face and arms. Screams in an angry gurgle only the host can hear. Wants to find a new host and ruin the current one’s life in the process. Cunning but bastard intelligence.

Symbiosis: Forms where a spore infects a creature’s open wound and grows to full size over a week, reducing the host’s max HP by 1. After another week, buds off into dozens of tiny spores to infect new hosts.

Royal Revolver A sentient magic revolver with +1 to attack and damage. Wants to do impressive tricks and be recognized.

Trick shot: Once per day, its bullets can deflect off of or around objects.

Web Emerald 1 HD (5 HP), unarmored, move normal, morale 8, constrict 1d6, any adjacent targets, OR acid spray 2d6, Save for half A network of interwoven green veins formed into a humanoid mass. Whispers like sizzling acid. Wants to grow and discover new things (by pulling them apart). Predator intelligence, but plant-like.

Unravel: Can unravel itself to about 100’ of rope-like vein, or unravel further into thin strings. No movement speed and can’t spray acid when fully in these forms. Web sense: Can sense anything that touches it, in any form.
