Family tree - Skeletons
Or at least so far without spoilers.
Look at this absolute mess.
I had to shimmy things over so many times.
You can also see I gave up trying to make enough lines between the gang and Error and Nightmare. So they just get the adoption box and I called it a day.
I also very quickly went to colour coding because the standard family tree formation was not going to work but I tried!
I however did give up on trying to add the whole of the undertale gang as I quickly realised I would not have the space and so I concentrated on the skeletons for now.
(Also, don't worry about those lines leading into nothing :) Those are not explained or came up or were referred to in the story and so they don't matter at the moment :) )

Well, I didn't do too bad with this drawing, although I still needed to draw Chara and Sans' reaction, but I'll upload it later. It was inspired by the fanfic Ancients & Champions by jisko2ijsko, a GREAT STORY!!!, I LOVE IT, there are several scenes that I would like to draw, but I haven't drawn in about 6 years and they make me very nervous. , hehehe, but I hope you like it. (English is not my first language, please excuse my bad spelling)
I hope the color is correct.

You know what I'm impressed by? Corypheus picking up a modern language the very moment he returned to the living. Imagine how badly things would have gone for him if he wasn't a linguistic genius.
And yes, that is aurebesh.
We do our best not to anger powerful, ancient mages over at Patreon and society6.
#champions and heroes#dragon age inquisition#corypheus#samson#Calpernia#red templars#ancient Tevene is old you guys#real old#like older than the Old English we see in Beowulf#linguistic complication is and remain something that I just can't quite let go of#and I wish more stories played with them tbh#Mass Effect should have had side mission where everyone's translators broke is what I'm saying#it would have been fantastic

i talked about why i find the argument people love to use as an excuse as to why shiekah tech is all gone in totk that "they destroyed it bc they were afraid of it" dumb before many times so i wont go over my past points in detail again
- i was just reminded of that and thought of new points to rant about going from that, no evil intentions in mind just when sth is mentioned again after some time i think about it again and can come up with more stuff-
(past points being- how?? shiekah tech seemed pretty indestructable, especialyl the big structures; it seemed like it was a literal holy thing for alot of people in the game; that it would be pretty damn stupid to spend so much energy and probably endanger people to dismanlte it since that time and energy would be better used rebuilding important infrastrucutre instead; if it stopped working why wouldnt you just kinda .. leave it there; why in hells name would you get rid of the shrine of life .. and i guess monk miz kyoshia with it???; shouldnt they be MORE afraid of sonau tech then??)
new thoughts
wouldnt it be logical to research and develope shiekah tech MORE so you can make sure it cant get corrupted again, like a security measure idk anti virus if you will lol
on the specific idea of zelda using it ... shouldnt she be the BEST person to use it bc she could, if it somehow got corrupted again, cleanse it/instantly deactivate it more easily than anyone else??
on the point of people not beign afraid of sonau tech ... that is still like the biggest problem for me with that argument bc .. i get beign afraid of shiekah stuff going haywire again, but then if suddendly alien tech from a literally fully unknown group of people started to appear out of nowhere at the sAME TIME AS MALICE COMES BACK BUT WORSE in the form of miasma shoudlnt that ring your alarm bells and make you flee for your life?? i wouldnt trust that shit after knowing what happened to the tech that we DID know shit about
i know theres like researchers for it but also they really all meddle and play with it immediately like its for them just as much a toy as it is for us the players (also a point that made me feel weird about it ngl), they build businesses around it, made minigames out of it with civilians, use it for transportation with no thought or concern about it, its really weird when this is supposedly takign palce after BOTW where FAMOUSLY ancient barely reasaearched tech got corrupted by evil goo and nearly destroyed the entire land of hyrule
(man are they LUCKY gan suddendly has zero interest in ANY tech)
(and i know theres the possibilty that sonau tech is somehow not able to be corrupted but it just seems so dumb anyway bc the people cant KNOW that for sure right of the bat??? and it DOES get possessed with the broken construct too, like .. wouldnt the possibility alone .. esepcialyl with waht had happened in botw make you NOT want to use that alien tech like a toy?? especially with WORSE malice being around suddendly too?? that just smells like a recipy for disaster)
(... man totk realyl is just botw but worse ... the more i think about it the more it feels like that)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#totk#ganondoodles rants#shiekah tech BUT MORE ANCIENT AND COOLER#ancient gone people BUT COOLER AND MORE ANCIENT#malice BUT COOLER AND MORE DANGEROUS#the champions BUT COOLER AND MORE MAGICAL MCGUFFINY#zelda rescue BUT WORSE BC SHES A FARMABLE GLORIFIED STONE PEDESTAL NOW#shrines again BUT SONAU THIS TIME WEE#tragic loss of family and friends but of COOLER FAMILY AND FRIENDS#zelda character dev- .. oh wait nvm that got undone entirely#.. also how zelda gets the role of the stone pedestal while rauru gets the role of keeping gan in check#talk about downgrade

Backgrounds With Class: Simic Scientist
I'll be honest: Ravnica has always fascinated me. I was a high schooler when the first set came out, and I was immediately consumed creating characters for the setting. Now that we've actually received my long-awaited crossover, I thought it would be nice to write a love letter to the setting in the form of another Backgrounds with Class series. After all: some guilds have natural class choices tied in, from a conceptual standpoint. Boros and Fighter, Izzet and Wizard, Selesnya and Druid. But guilds aren’t class-restricted, and so I wonder what it would look like if you paired every class with every guild background, even the ones that seem at odds, like Izzet and Barbarian, or Gruul and Artificer. So I thought about it, and this is what I came up with. Some character concepts for each class, and each Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica background for each class.
The Simic Scientist Artificer was always a practical sort. Enamored with the surgeon’s art from his youth and with a fast friend of decades working in the Izzet League, he’s found ways to adopt the other science guild’s technology for medical use on a number of occasions, particularly their chemistry. The reverse is also true- unbeknownst to those around him, he’s been trading insider secrets for his colleague’s aid. He doesn’t view this as a betrayal- to his mind, it’s a crime that there isn’t already an exchange of innovation in the regular course of things. Surely their fields would advance much more quickly with the aid of other points of view.
The Simic Scientist Barbarian is an experimental direction for the Guardian Project, a soldier with adaptive talents flexible enough to change specialization on the fly or between engagements. Trained with weapons and spliced with at least a little sluiceway scorpion, she believes wholeheartedly in the assurances of her experimental overseer that she will one day no longer need armaments of steel, as her hybrid traits and experimental mutagenic adrenal glands grow into full maturity.
The Simic Scientist Bard has a job as an educator, putting her keen understanding of biology and biomancy to work in the classroom imparting wisdom to her students. Adept at teaching by multiple avenues to suit different learning styles, she is always conscientious to mix the practical and hands-on with deep concepts, and takes the careers of her students very seriously after graduation. In her off hours, she works as a consultant for other matters, both in the lab and on the street, and has started to make a name for herself as one of the public faces of the Combine.
The Simic Scientist Cleric kneels at no altar that the people of Ravnica would know, but many of her peers would understand, if not condone. The Simic Combine is not a religious organization, but surely they can see that knowledge itself is a thing divine no less than the Worldsong of the Conclave or the Orzhov’s Church of Deals. While her colleagues view this eccentricity with bemusement and even occasional suspicion, she is more than welcome in the lab, as her work has an uncanny prescient feel to it, often making breakthroughs just when it would be useful.
The Simic Scientist Druid is an oddity even among Simic Biomancers. Originally a Guardian Project volunteer, this druid is technically a krasis rather than a hybrid, as the ratio of hermit crab to vedalken is too high to qualify her as a simic hybrid. Still loyal to the combine that reforged her into a clumsy new shell-bearing body, the druid serves the Hull Clade, her defensively-oriented mind an asset to guardian squads in the field and biomancers working with shell, carapace, and scale in the lab.
The Simic Scientist Fighter is a typical product of the Guardian Project: a disciplined, careful, and tactically gifted elf with latent mollusc traits. Trained for both long-range and short-range combat, he is being groomed for a position as a squadron leader to field both terrestrial and aquatic threats- a true amphibious soldier. This flexibility is reflected in his mindset- despite his participation in the Guardian Project and aggressive skillset, he is a Holdfast advocate, claiming it’s far more important for the Combine to ground themselves than to expand aggressively; overreach is a mistake.
The Simic Scientist Monk is an experimental departure from tradition. Raised deep underwater as a potential Deepsage, their tradition of unarmed combat has met with modern biomancy and medical knowledge to produce a warrior with a literal healer’s touch. Mastering the flow of vital energies and fluids through their own body and those of others, they are as skilled a healer as a bodyguard, equally adept at setting bones and force-healing contusions as bringing death with a touch.
The Simic Scientist Paladin follows an uncommon tradition among elves, a holdover from his time among the Selesnya growing up. While he’s firmly an Upwelling adherent, confident that change is the way forward for the Combine, his own magical tradition is among the oldest on Ravnica, as he swore an oath to life itself to be a light in the world. Many of his colleagues shake their heads at the juxtaposition, but he’s not dissuaded by their confusion- after all, Upwelling is a resurgence of old matters and ways, not an act of genesis.
The Simic Scientist Ranger is a field researcher, a lab assistant who, after his amphibian hybridization, seeks to assess the results of his guild’s work in the field. From chill ocean below to lofty aeries above, he ranges to see that the Combine’s work finds its niche, and observe how the web of life on Ravnica changes to fit. He’s also one of the hunters the Combine turns to when they have need of samples from exotic wildlife, or when a krasis proves disastrous for its environment and must be euthanized.
The Simic Scientist Rogue was part of the Combine’s covert troubleshooting force before the inception of the Guardian Project, and remains so to this day. Usually dispatched as an investigator or recovery specialist, as the guild has ramped up its preparations for wartime she has found herself more and more involved in guerrilla action against threats preemptively. Always a proponent of striking harder sooner, she is keen to do whatever she can to keep the Simic at its best.
The Simic Scientist Sorcerer, as a prospective member of Gyre Clade, often finds herself involved in the less physical of the guild’s pursuits. Be it assessing the mana currents of the hidden oceans or seeking strange weather phenomena to observe the dispersal of energy, her apprenticeship has been anything but dull. It’s helped to give focus to her talents, though, which run toward the stormy, and often leave her struggling to pay attention to things if she’s not confronted with novelty now and again.
The Simic Scientist Warlock came up from the zonots with the second generation of merfolk to grace the surface. Having long ago made peace and pact with a great beast of the deep, she quickly found her talents for team support in high demand among Guardian Project strike teams and Crypsis Clade scouting missions. She’s very protective of the fine abalone necklace she wears loose around her neck; it’s both a mark of her pact and the only thing she brought with her to remember her parents by.
The Simic Scientist Wizard is, by all accounts, brilliant- surgeon extraordinaire and transmuter-scientist of the Fin clade, it seems there is little he cannot do if he sets his mind and hands to it. Of the two, the surgeon’s path is far more important to him, as he would rather save lives with tools and expertise than work at biomancy- so much so that he’s rejected or missed opportunities for more profitable apprenticeships in favor of earning his surgical license and trying for a private practice. Unfortunately, the money’s run out, and he’s recently had to turn his mind from clean, sterile lab work to the rough conditions and uncertain developments of field work.

framing the disappearance of sheikah tech in totk as a tragedy that no one is willing to acknowledge because it just made it simpler to discard, and purah robbie and the other researchers' endeavors as a desperate bid to not be discarded as well makes me go a little insane every time I think about it
#i love their relationship with the hylians its so inherently abusive to me#STOP simping for them!!!! they will discard you the moment you arent useful to them!!! GRAAAAGH#I really need to get creating a champion but if rhoam really was the one who brought the sheikah out of exile#you know. to excavate all that ancient tech for them#im going to go feral im going to DIE#just proves me even more right . they have such a right to be scared.#and the little. blurb. in purahs bio. serving the royal family her whole life like yeah I knew that already but GRGGRGRGRHRGhgRHGHRGHRGHRGR#WHY DID YOU PUT THAT DETAIL THERE GAME#DO YOU LIKE TORTURING ME#glider rambles#keep trying my lovely friends they will never love you as much as that BITCH link. //throws link across the floor like a beanie baby#(I mean this jokingly i love link. you know this.)#totk

He hears them sometimes.
A cacophony of hollow, rattling wails bombard his ears and practically smother his brain with the sheer volume alone.
He can never make out what they're saying. They're always calling out to him, but they always drown each other out.
They are always angry. He knows why.
Sometimes he sees them too.
Hundreds of faces that at one horrific and recent point in his life he would have considered reflections. Anguished souls devoid of skin and flesh surround him, and Joe's only comfort is the knowledge that he did not end up like them.
#fossil fighters#fossil fighters champions#joe wildwest#ff joe wildwest#cw eyes#cw eye contact#cw horror#I already mentioned this on my blog before but I can't stop thinking about the previous majestic vessels#the ones of ancient Caliosteo#they never got their bodies back but they should still be here in modern day right? Like they probably don't age when they're skulls#but not one ancient caliostean MV is present in modern Caliosteo#the implication being that they all were killed (probably by a paranoid zz)#I imagine they would haunt or watch over Joe and Rupert the moment they too become skulls#they are very angry at Joe for releasing zz#some of them might even be jealous that he and Rupert got their bodies back while they didn't#Rupert is probably not faring that much better than Joe#zesty's ramblings#my doodles

just finished debug mode's video on totk's story and OUGH they surmised my problem perfectly with the issue being more so the way of storytelling than the actual story. i mean i personally still wouldn't be the biggest fan because aside from zelda, tulin and riju i didn't find the characters to be all that compelling (even characters that i liked in botw got on my nerves this time around), but i would at least be more willing to accept it for what it is.
#bwark#i was gonna get super rambly with my critique but i've said my piece on this multiple times already#but yeah i like botw's story less so because of the story and more because i loved the champions#meanwhile with totk. they didn't even give the ancient sages FACES nevermind names or personalities#was gonna go into more into the secret ending and how it was kind of a joke for this exact reason but i don't wanna have to spoiler tag this#anyway the switch clicks' video also just got recommended to me so i'm watching that too ✌️

I did it
I actually did it.
What did I do you may ask?
I finished it.
I just completed the main story for Ancients & Champions!!
The story I am talking about.
Rambling under the read more line
Okay! So. Obviously this is not the final final wordcount. Seeing as I will still need to edit the chapters and reread stuff but this is about the final wordcount.
And let me tell you. The last time i did an update like this I had just hit chapter 91 with writing and felt like I was close to the ending and said that if I had to write another 10 chapters I would go insane.
Oh silly me. Oh how I was wrong.
Because here we are. Not only did I write those last ten chapters but i OVERSHOT it.
It feels strange at this point to actually be done with writing the main story and main storyline. Again it isn't yet finished finished but the story has ended and it is... strange.
I should be relieved honestly. I have been writing this in my off time since we were still in a pandemic, 2021, and I am close to counting three years with writing it.
It was a journey and a half and honestly I think I am a better writer now than when I started. Hell when i reread some of the stuff i wrote near the start i still get the feeling i want to change some wording or characterization because along the process i really settled on hwo i wanted everyone to act and be. (really considering rewriting the sidestory about Error's backstory but i will contain myself for now)
The thing is. I never actually finished a fanficiton before. (and then she writes a 430K thing yes i can see the irony) it is just. I lost interest in the stories i wrote before so it is strange to actually finish this absolute monster of a fanfiction (aaayyyy i will show myself out)
I am not done with this universe I ended up creating just yet. The fact I started this whole thing because i wanted NightmareXSansXError things is still real funny to me. It just got out of hand so quickly and because i started with just writing for only myself it just kept growing.
But I loved the journey and everyone who on AO3 followed along and the few people here who are nice enough to follow me and my story.
It was a fun ride and as i said. I am not quite done with this universe just yet. But I would be lying if it isn't great that i now have more space to write other ideas i had. and i had quite a few ideas. We will see what the future brings.
See you people around and if i see you at the story, remember, updates every sunday until we are done.
See you sunday.

Bro, how the fuck does the wind sage have the great eagle bow
it's like a gazillion years before the guy after whom this weapon is fashioned is born! It doesn't even fit your fit!
#i actually was in the camp that totk's disregard for champions was fine and cool but this might change it#as funny as the implication that Revali just happened to share a colour scheme with this ancient relic is#him presumably designing his weapon to resemble himself#or having someone else thinking that he would like it that way and be right#was one of the best tiny small bits of visual story telling in botw#i will ignore this#either the memory is not 100% accurately or Zelda told sages the weapon crafting receptives form the present#no way this is the exact same bow revali/tulin use in the present anyway#not with the weapon breaking system of these games#totk#totk spoilers#totk wind sage#revali#loz

will you accept my ancient zora champion who is a black axolotl? 🤲
Axoltls are native only to lake Xochimilco in central Mexico and are to this day are revered as sacred beings. This lake was home to the Tetihuacanos, Aztecs, and even the Toltecs throughout its history. After the Spanish conquest, many of the dams and sluices were destroyed and the native populations were decimated. Over time this massive lake has been drained to reduce flooding in what is now the most populous city in North America- Mexico City. Sadly, this lake and it’s ecosystem are at great risk of destruction due to many factors.
History lesson aside, my vision of a hypothetical ancient meso-American Zora’s domain mirrors the canal system of this great ancient lake. Since it’s my fantasy ecological zone and I get to decide how it’s built, I think it would also be very enchanting for these canals to continue far and wide, eventually culminating in a series of underground caves and cenotes. In reality these cave systems and cenotes are mostly found on the Yucatán peninsula which is pretty far from central Mexico.
I want to do more with this concept, but I figured I’d share the bones with y’all in case anyone is interested!
#my art#sketch#ancient champions#botw champions#zora#I love Mexico and being Mexican#I wish I knew how to animate because I spawned all this from a beautiful scenario in my brain yesterday and now I’m sad#I don’t know how to write either so all I can do is make a little sketch and vaguely gesture towards some images and concepts in the#hopes that someone else will understand LOL#ancient zora champion#totk aztec maya au

11, 17, and 21 for Micolash!
(Asks from this ( x ) meme)
11) How did you “fall in love” with this character?
Although I liked him from the start, the "falling in love" did not happen instantly! Especially because my primal Bloodborne exposure was within an extremely small and secluded group, in which a snobbish near-Redditor friend would condemn "cringey Tumblr girls crushes" XD I was a little nervous upon realising that my attraction and curiosity to Micolash was only growing with every day, that I kept checking the same fanarts of him every day. I was not thrilled to feel judged so I was in denial and forged exclusively lorediggey interest. And then I just took my confidence back with this meme that started it all:
Basically, there was no particular trigger, but instead, everything I've learned about this character became planted seeds, and yet they sprouted and kept growing. My own wild, unhinged imagination and daydreaming was the water, good fanart and headcanons were the sunlight. Ironically though, this same friend helped to nourish it; he is very good at making impressions of characters and I asked him to write as Micolash in my starvation for more dialogue. It was so in-character that it did feel like getting extra script of Mico's lines.
17) Have you ever felt physical pain over this character? (ex: physical heartache).
Yeah... I am a little ashamed of it, but ey. No need to beat myself up for how my brain is wired? I've had two times of unexplainable nausea (as it, I was not sick or poisoned) because of this man! Both times happened after a particularly striking dream revolving around him. I also sometimes got strong headaches because of him, when I was spiralling into thinking about him too much!
21) Are your feelings about this character platonic, romantic, or familial? All of these feelings at once maybe?
All of these in this order of development, and currently all of these at once. Like I said, I was instantly fascinated by him, then it grew into a strong crush.. And, strangely enough, whereas I instantly latched onto Rom, kinned her even, and shipped Romicolash, my brain involuntarily imagined an OC that I could project onto more than onto Rom, yet that'd be his sister. So, I had a chance to imagine myself being with him, and yet threw it away for familial relationship instead? This is a part of the many years long string of strange self-sabotages, in which whenever I fell hard for a fictional character I'd "ruin my chances" by making their sexuality exclude me, or inventing any other way why we could not be together even in my dreams. What scares me so? But hey, at least I had Rom, right? .....right?
Wrong. Meet the description I've glossed over at first, but that changed everything when @val-of-the-north convinced me to really peer into it all like 'ohhhh whooo could they beeee?'. Given the context, the description could be referring to Micolash and Rom, and my lore brain instantly picked up 500+ canon-fitting clues and explanations for why it absolutely made sense. I was delighted by it. I was frustrated by it. I felt like a genius that deciprehered a mystery that fandom did not see for 6-7 years. I knew Romicolash shippers would shy away from me for that one and I felt lonely. I felt proud because on the other side I started a "trend" that ricocheted across the fandom so much that now headcanon of Rom and Micolash as siblings is the norm, not exception. I hated myself for sabotaging my only means to "be" with Micolash in my dreams.
But in the end, I just... accepted it? I've found peace in knowing that different parts of my identity feel differently towards this man, and I can't sacrifice either. And I was able to internalise the differences between my Rom, other people's Rom and Rom as 'general character concept'. So I can like teacher-student, I can like friendship, I can like familial, I can like ship, I can like them as enemies. But this applies to me-me too! It is easier to name what feelings I do not have towards him hahah;
#bloodborne#micolash host of the nightmare#ask replies#ghhhh I love this ask meme but I think I'll rather not answer any more Micolash questions on this one#talking about him in depth like this brings back absurd amount of very intimate and curious memories#damn it's been 3 years.... time flies#I remember ancient times when the only attention Rom ever got was to be shipped with Micolash XD#there is for sure way more variety for her these days!#still I am champion of self-sabotage
