Thank you all for letting me know and I hope you don't mind me answering like this.

Over the weekend, I'll post both the demos on cogdemos and I'll share the new links. Will update the main posts as well.

Well, this is great, haha. Guess I'll have to figure out how that site works...

I've got a question, if anyone would be willing to answer. Is cogdemos the only site for posting WIPs or are there any other places? I only ever used dashingdon, so I'm a bit out of my depth.

Mighty Nein kids ocs??? Do tell me more

SORRY FOR HAVING THIS SIT IN MY INBOX FOR A WEEK I AM VERY HONORED YOU ASKED!!!! TYSM!!!

Ok so I felt bad talking abt these morons without drawing them but when I sat down my hand decided now was the time to explode so uh. So sorry. Old ass doodle upon ye. Fathom time.

Initial Backstory dump below the cut! I first created these characters wayyyyy back when I was a freshman, so reworking their stories is really special to me. Anyways.

This is Fathom Lavorre, my silly fjord/jester kid! He was rescued by jester and fjord as a young kid from another pirate ship, where he was being used as leverage against invaders. His “caretaker” managed to gouge out one of his eyes and chop off one of his horns before he was eventually rescued, which has left Fathom with a LOT of self doubt. His entire purpose was to be helpless and just bait, and despite growing up in the most loving environment possible, still feels like he has to prove he’s more than what he was at 4 years old. He’s not doing great. You’d never be able to tell though - he has a vibrant exterior personality and adopted a lot of both Jester and Kingsley’s mannerisms, exuding effortless charisma, sass, and personality. Fathom is very laid-back and witty, as to be expected as someone growing up with the two most batshit insane (/pos) totally not pirates on this side of Exandria. He’s a warlock of the traveler - Melora tried ONCE to be involved in this kid’s life and got football tackled by a cunty archfey. Fathom’s an avid learner of anything to do with the ocean, is best friends with his parents, and adores his very doting grandmother who spoils the FUCK out of him. I have a vague idea of where his story is going to go next, but here’s just my initial word vomit for Fathom!

real question: who cries at the wedding

let me break it down:

cries no matter what: asmo, mammon, luke

will cry if something tender happens in front of them: simeon, levi

gets choked up but doesn't cry properly: beel, diavolo

doesn't cry but is still touched: barbatos, solomon

doesn't cry and makes fun of the ones who do: belphie

does cry a little bit and is really really mad about it: satan

would have cried if she wasn't reeling a little from the fact that her dad married lucifer of all beings: ik

also as for the newlyweds themselves:

does not, did not, would NEVER cry, never mind the look on his face, or the fact that he's now hiding said face-: lucifer

held up well during the whimsical celebrations but was unashamedly weepy throughout the actual ceremony part: zhao

I think it would be really funny if the Retyrement equivalent to Wizbot in act 3 was him eventually getting fed up with Magnificus and going “fuck it I’m swapping idols” and deciding Poe’s his teacher now or something. Poe is confused on whether to be smug or annoyed.

i've been sitting on this ask since it landed in my inbox back in march for what i hope are obvious reasons now lmao, how does it feel to have guessed this spot-on

I do not understand how, after 3 years of prerecorded content, there will still be people who wander into the Crit Role twitch chat and use their precious slow mo chat opportunity to ask:

“Is this live??”

wait fuck do i say oh my god or oh my gods now??? like yeah as a catholic you aren't supposed to say "oh my God" because that's using capital g God's name in vain but in my head i got around that because god ≠ God because god doesn't have that capital g and thus -> not referring to capital g God and using his name in vain. but since i'm polytheist now does that mean it'd be "oh my gods" instead?

and wait is god supposed to be capitalized in regards to other deities? like, when you're calling a deity a god of something. is gods supposed to be capitalized? because in my head god is what God is; God is his name, and what God is is god because. oh my god bflre it was God is god because there's only one, and since he's the only of his kind, what his "species" is called is just his name. like God is a being and god is the genre of being he is, and that genre of being is called god because there's just the one capital g God. but. i don't believe it's only capital g God now like i believe these other guys exist too. so i can't say that. all of the above is probably heavily inaccurate because i was raised catholic and when u're raised catholic there's just some things u never rlly actually look into because things just Are The Way They Are and for smaller stuff like that u kinda just use what u know.

i also realize what i said looks like it contradicts my initial thing abt god ≠ God so i have to explain even more. and what it boils down to is that god ≠ god. SO BASICALLY. the being God is, god, equals deity. god = deity. with oh my god though, you can't replace god with deity. like, oh my deity. nobody says that. god ≠ deity. it's like,,, two separate things. if god¹ ≠ deity, and god² = deity, then god¹ ≠ god². it's not quite a case of a word having two definitions, because the "god" in "oh my god¹" carries the same definition as god². they're just used in different ways which causes them to have different meanings. that sounds a bit contradictory but i think the point got across.

and wait now my brain has connected the dots on if god should be capitalized w other deities. it's a third god word. god¹ ≠ god² ≠ god³. because when a deity is being called a god of something it's a TITLE and god¹ and god² aren't used as titles. god² = deity = god³, but god² ≠ title while god³ = deity = title (because a god can be called "deity of..." instead). so god³ = God but also God ≠ God. if name ≠ title, and God¹ = name; God² = title, then God¹ ≠ God². i could say like — oh my god, that's a god, it's God, God of Everything — and all four instances of the word mean something different. if it's still hard to differentiate: oh my god¹, that's a god², it's God¹, God² of Everything. (ignore the god of everything part i'm still trying to work out what my religion is and how my belief in capital g God fits in with my belief in other gods, because i've been p sure that means im not christian/catholic anymore. but yea i just kinda wanted to make that example to get the point across).

SO TO RECAP:

God¹ = name

God² = title

if name ≠ title, then God¹ ≠ God²

god¹ = god used in "oh my god" = word

god² = deity = being

if word ≠ being, then god¹ ≠ deity; god¹ ≠ god²

if name ≠ word, then God¹ ≠ god¹; if title ≠ word, then God² ≠ god¹

God¹ is a god², or a being, but all god²s are not God¹; Apollo is a god², and Khonsu is also a god², but both of them aren't God¹, like how Khonsu and Apollo aren't each other, because all of them are different beings (aka god²s) and have different names.

-> like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. in this metaphor god²s are rectangles and God¹ is a square, which is also a rectangle. it might get the slightest bit convoluted to ppl not familiar with christianity once the Holy Trinity is thrown into the mix but meh that isn't what this post is about; it's abt the word god and capital g God whose name is the same as his and other deities' genre of being, gods, and his name is also the same as a title other gods are given, God. i am so sorry to anyone who might be getting a headache.

but yeah context/placement and/or capitalization make a difference in the meaning.

i feel obligated to say i am not a linguist or theologist at all i'm just some lesbian who was raised roman catholic, had a crisis, and is now polytheist. i have no clue if any of this has any basis in study or something it's just me and my funky ass brain over here

......how did i manage to make my small crisis of if i'm supposed to say "oh my gods" instead of "oh my god" into a whole ass linguistics post. how do i even TAG this. I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OH MY GOD OR OH MY GODS... i was just gonna end the post after the first paragraph but right before i hit post the other thought occurred to me and things spiraled from there. i am a FOOL.

hi lovely lo. what are landoscar up to in your bakers' universe?

Hi wonderful wiz! <3

I honestly forgot the bakers' universe existed for a second because I have it buried in the ominous "long form stuff folder" where all the scary long fic ideas go. :(((

Lando is currently fawning over the cute new guy and not very delicately trying to flirt with him over the counter. Oscar is flattered and embarrassed, but also confused. Especially because Charles (Oscar's boss) keeps telling him to "not befriend the enemy" (meaning Lando, who works for Max). Max on the other hand is actively trying to get them together because it's the first time that Lando actually shows up early for work just to impress Oscar.

They are still dancing around each other, much to everyone else's ... detriment? amusement? Depends on who you ask.

Has TikTok become a problem yet for the institute? I imagine with all the data collection on the app it's not allowed on campus.

Zhao and Lucifer wearing Ratio, and Aventurine clothing because Levi wants everyone to cosplayed, Lucifer didn't want to but Zhao covince him. The Avatar of Pride reaction to Zhao wearing Aventurine clothing:

And little IK wearing Trailblazer outfit, everyone is cooing until she hits them with the bat.

i'm obsessed with the image of tiny baseball bat-wielding raccoon ik wait........

this raises the question: who is everyone else playing? i could see levi as dhil (though whether he'd have the courage to do so is another matter)....

asmo in himeko's dress would serve severely and i want to put belphie in herta's cute dress with her big hammer so bad
