#IT'S MAGIC. IT'S ACTUAL MAGIC. NO OTHER ANIMAL ON PLANET EARTH CAN DO THIS LIKE HUMANS CAN!!
Note
How do i find the motivation to practice art? I have so many shitposts that’ll never come to fruition because my skills plateaued ):
No one else is going to draw my ideas and I'm too broke to pay someone else to do it for me. For better or worse, I seem to approach a lot of things from a "gotta do everything myself around here" angle haha
Honestly—and I won't lie to you—doing art studies is a real pain in the ass, I hate doing them. I never do them unless I've got major art block, and even then I still hate doing them, but it's like taking medicine and I know doing them will make me better. Every art teacher I've ever had's grilled me about this, "solradguy, you need to do 15 studies before the end of the week to get a full grade this quarter." Blah blah blah.
I guess for some people doing studies could be fun, not having to think about pose or composition, whatever, just putting lines down on paper and focus on your reference. One time, when I was still in college, I had to do a certain amount of studies in charcoal so I booted up Red Dead Redemption and drew landscapes or objects from it that I kinda liked. It was enough. I told my professor it was from my grandma's farm hehe
Art memes can be a good way to practice too, especially those ones about drawing in different styles or drawing a character in different outfits. They combine fun with tricking you into drawing things you might not normally draw. Emulating different art styles is the only art study method that doesn't make me want to fall asleep. Don't forget they're just art games though, and especially don't forget:
👉If You Already Feel Burnt Out Don't Feel Compelled To Complete Every Art Meme You Start👈
As you get better at art, you start noticing improvements less and less because they become more subtle. When you're really new to art, figuring out stuff like basic anatomy or shading is REALLY obvious because they're foundational parts of art. Hang on to your really old stuff and look at it every now and then and I guarantee you'll have improved way more than you thought you had.
I get the impression you've probably been at art for a while now, and I don't want to come across as patronizing, but sometimes refreshing the basics can help overcome a plateau too. Drawabox is usually what I recommend to people just getting into art, I really like their approach. Here's a link to their introduction lesson: drawabox.com/lesson/0
And here's one that skips to the actual art stuff: drawabox.com/lesson/1
While it's probably beneficial to actually do the exercises in the lessons, just skimming through reading them can be good too.
Something I've noticed a lot of my artists friends (and artists online) do is try to make every single drawing a finished piece, and I'm like "damn, no wonder art feels like such a chore." My sketchbook is 99% scribbles done in pen:
I use Pentel RSVP fine point ballpoint pens so if I make a mistake I'm forced to deal with it. Doing these rough sketches before starting a bigger piece is something I recommend with my entire heart. Just get a pack of shitty $0.99 pens and doodle like it's high school math class. I like the cheap pens because you can get faint lines drawing lightly and can coax them into darker lines with a bit more pressure (and if you lose/break one it's no big deal).
The best way to get better at art is to keep putting lines on paper. Even if it's just silly pen doodles, you're still improving coordination/pen control, improving construction of basic shapes, exploring concepts, and thinking about art, which will lead to more new ideas and further inspiration.
Sorry this is long and meandering haha Hopefully something here helps at least a tiny bit.

it's almost 4am i can't get this out of my head holy shit.
reader whose original body is a literal eldritch forest deity and speaks in hymns (bonus points: after we isekai into said og body, we mix slang into it).
the acolytes have to break their fucking necks just to talk to you eye-to-eye, and the only thing they can make out of what you say is something equal to tablets bajillion years old already.
or that reader is constantly cussing and the acolytes just nod along not understanding whatever this 15ft tall eldritch horror is saying.

FUCKING LOVE THIS GIF, AND THIS SONG AND ARTISTTT
hey so here’s a song to listen I was listening to while writing this, chose the instrumental bc it was less distracting!
👉👈 hope u like :)
you just come into Teyvat from either Enkanomiya, the straight up Abyss/Dark Realm or even Celestia/Light Realmunder that glowing mushrooms tree in the Chasm, or like, ooo even by the upside down Barbatos statue 👀
and its great bc ur like- “omg Teyvat ooooo, ahhhh”
meanwhile the animals/magical creatures/beings nearby like shakin in their boots
literally no matter what land type their in, water, air, etc. they’re all bowing (despite the hooves, the paws, the flippers, the wings,) hell, even the bugs?? Might be bowing???
and you were slow to wake up wherever you were, so it took you a second to really process-
plus it just felt so weirdly, natural?
Not like walking on 2 legs no, but more like, how swimming feels but without the act of doing it?
you realize you’re… hovering.
wow, guess you can do that now,
your pretty much crowned with every flower from the regions of Teyvat, and a few from other Realms like Celestia, Abyss, and Enkanomiya, etc.
you have extra limbs, you feel them shift like you’ve had them all your life, even tho you do smack urself a few times with them lmao (new hand-eye coordination is hard)
and you realize u can see elemental traces/elements of beings, even plants, all the time now?
It isn’t until you look into a pretty still pond that you see what you look like,
you’ve got more eyes
I mean u thought you’d just be one of the twins, or ur own person if somebody asked u what youd look like isekaied to Genshin Impact, not what looks like the elemental god of the fucking continent
but you don’t look bad! actually you think you look kinda neat!
You’ve got like this coat of many draping vines and plantlife, glowing coral poking out near the top that’s around your throat, and- is that- tiny waterfalls?? Running down your nature cape too??
the many gemstones and ore of this planet form your legs, strong and taller than even regular human guys back on Earth, you’re like what? Eight? Nine feet? (about 245cm, or 2.5 meters)
You’re head… it’s like a dragons skull?? You’ve got these black horns flowing out from the top too that fade to a golden glow, like a crown nearly, theyre draped with what looks like strings of primogems??
oh and your extra eyes are symmetrical that’s good!
tho it does seem like you got this handy hood included into your cape of much nature to flop onto your head
where your heart should be, there’s two bursting stars circling one another, one of pink, purples and light blues, the other of gold and blue, oh hey, the wishing stars for standard and character banners!
and if you like mushrooms, at least one of every kind in Teyvat’s countries/regions is looking cool on ur cape, and if you like bugs, the cool ones like the rhino beetles from inazuma are being cute little buddies on ur stuff too
and like in the gif, every step you take overfills with life, except it stays and doesn’t wither like above, and it also does that glow bit that some places in Sumeru do/Enkanomiya
You CANNOT be missed no matter where you walk, and your sort of constantly feeling like you’ve drank 3 energy + 5 espresso shots of coffee
but in a way that makes you sort of full? like full on life… and like you could be even bigger, and taller, if you willed it
♤
k but the adepti felt ur presence coming in hot from literal mountains away
Cloud Retainter, and Guizhong, had set up inventions long ago to sense the Original of Teyvat, just in case, because some signs of prophecy of your return had begun to show in their lands
Zhongli especially knew you were close to come after another major sign was met, the corruption after the Archon War, and the ravaging of the land by the fall of Khaenri’ah’s “metal beasts”
So when you finally walk your way into Jueyun Karst, the adepti are already waiting, Xiao, Ganyu, and Zhongli as well,
Luckily Ganyu, with Zhongli’s help or advice, convinced the adepti to share this meeting with the Qixing as well like Keqing, and the Tianquan herself
It was a momentous occasion after all, but you were just now feeling the need to maybe nap a little after nearly, what was it, 2 weeks worth of constant walking?
wow this new body had literal stamina for days
you arrived late into the night, around midnight, under a full moon, and they’re relieved all the signs are being met
◇
honestly the only reason you headed to Liyue was bc you knew it was the closest (the map of Teyvat was both familiar in the way it had been in game, but also on a deeper level, like walking around your house in the dark)
and u rlly wanted to be able to talk to somebody, bc u had no idea?? wtf you were??
honestly you thought the adepti/Zhongli would be a good bet bc they’d maybe tell u what creature u ended up as,
u did suspect maybe you’d ended up as some kind of god, but like?? none of the other gods looked like this???
and u see them all! up ahead in Jueyun Karst! Oh no! You really, really, really, hope they don’t think you’re a walking talking evil tree dragon thing-
…maybe you should wave?
◇
As you get closer,
Xiao’s back straigtens, Ganyu nervously looks at the ground, Keqing is trying to figure out where to look bc ur so tall, Ningguang has her hands respectfully folded in front of her and her facial muscles looks tensed for a fight almost, the adepti are shuffling nervously bc they’re not used to being the magically weaker/younger creatures in the area, and Zhongli-
Zhongli is no longer the mortal Zhongli.
Amber horns curl up from his head, long brunette hair with glowing gold tips flowing and loose, claws on display, as he stands in his finest and oldest lóng páo, black with gold detailing embroidered throughout, it details his deeds as Rex Lapis and Morax, the spears of his vanquishing gods across the front and back, he looks like a living painting
and although he looks as serene as if he’s about to sit down for some tea, the adepti can see the tremoring hands, the same he used to hide in his sleeves when he was genuinely intimidated by another god, usually the older ones he’d had to fight
but for the first time since the archon war, this was one he was going to welcome with open arms, and utmost respect, despite his position as archon forfeited
there’s a strange music in the air of the night as the animals and the bugs and creatures of the realm subtly make the beat, the god’s feet (of ore Rex Lapis hasn’t seen since he was a child, it was so rare to find) shake the earth of his land with each step, a deep quiet booming like a drum of war as they get closer
The God of All stops some distance away from them
…and the Huangdi of All, just waves. 💀👋
at Zhongli, the adepti, Xiao, the Tianquan, and the Qixing.
A long black limb with a rainbow shine like a crow’s wing raises, gives an ironically tiny wave of their clawed black hand,
and tilts their head, though a sort of greenery hood covering it
and speaks,
“ ˙˙˙ʎzɐɹɔ sı ʇıɥs sıɥʇ ¿ʍou ʇɥƃıɹ ɯɐ ı ʞɔnɟ ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ ʍouʞ sʎnƃ noʎ op uɯɐp”
your voice is like singing, deep, high, like a choir trying to sing all at once to them
Xiao cringes a little in surprise, he was braced for your older speech just in case but it still caught him off guard, and unfortunatly, he gives a quick glance to Lord Rex Lapis,
he can’t understand any of that, and Ganyu and Keqing are in the same boat, but while the Yaksha’s only done passive studying in hopes of understanding you, the Lord of Geo had gone much further back in trying to make sure he could understand your words, should the day come, his library, even now living as a mortal, is extensive
the other adepti and Ningguang catch a few words, but it’s too,, simple really, to understand
the words have no context, they need more, but such is the ancients, they’re meanings simple and all-encompassing
Lord Rex Lapis bows deeply,
“We welcome you with open arms, our Huangdi. Please, feast your eyes upon the land with which I have wrought with mine own talons, for all is ever truly yours.”
the adepti announces for them all, voice giving away no nerves, Xiao can still understand him luckily, though he has greatly simplified himself for the sake of being understood by the ancient god of creation,
“ ˙˙˙ʞɔıʇs ɐ uo ʇsıɹɥɔ snsǝɾ ¡¿ılƃuoɥz noʎ uǝʌǝ ¿noʎ oʇ poƃ ɟo puıʞ ǝɯos ɯ,ı 'ǝʇnuıɯ uɯɐp ɐ ʇıɐʍ”
your voice is an energy through the air, and makes the trees nearby lean in to hear you better, the creeks and ponds of the area leave their beds a little to get closer, geo crystalflys emerge and begin to swirl around your natural body, perching on your horns, making it look even more like a crown
Xiao gulps.
Rex Lapis’ and Ningguang’s spines straighten further if they even can from the impeccable posture they were before, They share a quick glance…
…neither of them caught that one, only a few words, and Ganyu feels her shoulders drop as she gives up trying to hear you and understand as well,
you make a strange sound, a high humming, a deep confusion with some worry, the crystalflys buzz around you a little faster,
then point to yourself
...and make a peace sign. ✌️
it was going to be a long night.
☆
idk if this made any sense, and I sincerely hope that you at least liked what I wrote a little bit, sorry about the over description 😭 I just felt like it was very important but then I realized I hadn’t even talked about the language yet… anyway here u go LMAO
I hope it was alright, and I seriously love your idea, even if I didn’t take it in the direction you wanted/as cool as you meant!! :/
Thanks for the badass idea, i fucking love eldritch shit <3

Wish Granted AU: Star: 🌟
Yeah, I finally got to the boy! Took long enough, huh? 😂 So I dud make a short character inspiration from a reblog chain a few weeks ago, so I'll go more into Star's character here:
So, much like the film itself, Star comes to Earth because of Asha's wish was so powerful, and aids her save Rosas. However, for "Wish Granted", he has no idea how to actually grant her wish. She basically fills him in on what's going on, and agrees to help. But he doesn't really understand why they need help. From his point of view, most of the humans on this part of Earth, and especially in Rosas look happy enough. He's just utterly fascinated with the animals, the trees, Asha, and just experiencing what humans see everyday.
But then he visits the Hamlet (in an animal disguise) when Asha wants to say goodbye to her Saba and mother. Star sees how sick Sabino has gotten, and the fear Sakina has for her daughter going back into danger. The Starboy sees that Asha's wish is entirely to help her family and community. (Its greatly emphasized once he gets to Rosas itself too) He partially understands and gladly accepts the task to help her. Asha can't believe this magical boy is a Star, it should be impossible. But just as her father said, the stars are there to believe in possibility. Star here is the impossible, made possible! Its no wonder his loveable and joyous personality leads her to falling for him! 😆
I took inspiration from this segment of the concept art book where they attempted to give plushie Star some kind of depth and character arc leftover from Starboy. They really tried to give Star something more than just being a toy, and Disney said "nah, a toy is good enough. Kids will love it." So Star's arc will be he starts off naive about the world and thinks everything is perfect. But once he starts seeing more of the people having other emotions other than happiness, he's processing how a human feels this. It hits harder when he actually feels a wish get destroyed, he feels their pain for a while after he connects with them. This is all going to connect to "At All Costs" when finally get that love confession scene! 😉
Now, my favorite part: POWERS!!! Star can shapeshift into different animals he sees, with his telltale sign of him being gold with white fur/hair. (Example image below) He's got a white six pointed star on his parts of his body that glow slightly, even in a human form, its just covered up by his black caped outfit.
I still kind of hate that Disney actually thought Star was too similar Genie just because he changes into animals. Like, what are you talking about? (I actually thought of MK or Beast Boy more than Genie.) Yeah, Genie could do that too, but he also changed costumes, size, shape, face, broke the 4th wall and did impersonations of movie actors of the time. Star didn't do all that. Besides, YOU MADE MAUI CHANGE INTO ANIMALS AND APPROVED OF IT!
Rant aside, He can change into any animal, but only has one human form. That's not only because there's way too many variations of people for him to adapt and he's not at that level of power yet. He mainly choose this particular human form because.... he thought Asha would like it. (He even gets the cape idea after he sees a picture of Magnifico. He just LOVED how that looked) Think of it as a boy trying make himself look better for the girl he has a crush on. 😂 His design is inspired by these three pieces of concept art combined with a dash of a superhero vibe. (Superheroes are hardwired into my brain, I tried my best NOT to do that! 😂)
Star can make animals talk, at least for a limited time, like when be has his big introduction song and the forest animals are his band. Animals are naturally attracted to Star, because he literally radiates pure joy and love. Those little critters just adore him! Think of this scene here:
One last thing to add is that once he's on Earth, and gets into Rosas, thus is when he gets the most attached to the planet. He has a big family with the stars, but he really wanted to be where the people are. He wants to see them dancing, ect...Meeting great people didn't just end with Asha, but also meeting the 7 Teens. He learns about their wishes as one desires, while confused on Simon's sleepiness/sadness. He actually attempts to heal Simon and can gain a new power. Star is not sure on how to react to Dahlia, who doesn't seem to have a wish. She seems happy cooking for the king (whom she has a crush on) and queen, no questions asked. Although, Dahlia does seem particularly curious about Star, even before finding out his magical side. She even tries to tell him to give up on granting Asha's wish, but he's definitely not doing that. 😂
When he meets the King and Queen, let's just say there's going to be a lot of angst/comedy with that. But when he has the mini stand off with Amaya. OH BOY, he's going to understand way more heavy emotions after meeting her...
(Star in this version is voiced by Jeremy Jordan, because he's a musical and VA legend! Plus he sounds so fun in every role he's in!)
Aaaand, that does it for Star! I mentioned in another post how when you look into his eyes, you can see microscopic galaxies or mini stars in eyes, like you can see the universe in his eyes! (When it gets to the At All Costs song, Asha can be seen in his eyes like she becomes part his universe) Any other bits will be revealed later, but I wanted to flesh the guy out here! He's a lot of fun to write and draw!
Now next up are the King, Queen and their ferocious yet spoiled pet Lynx! 😉

10 comebacks to a woman who once told my best friend, then a chicagoan (like i was), "i love coming to chicago because in new york i'm an 8 but in chicago i'm a 10"
"exactly, that's something i love about living here, you know? it's not as surface-oriented and shallow as some other cities. like, the culture's just a little deeper and a little smarter than in places where everyone's only concentrating on looking their best at all times, you know?"
"oh wow, you really said that with your out-loud voice, huh?"
(LAUGHTER) "yeah, you're a ten here. sure you are." (LAUGHTER)
"just wondering: in the moments before that comment left your mouth, did you take a second to imagine how we, a bunch of people who very obviously live in chicago, would react? if no, why not? if yes, what on earth did you see? please write in complete sentences in the booklet provided. you will have thirty minutes."
"my god, do you assign yourself a number comparing your appearance to the appearances of the people around you everywhere you go? you know we have a limited amount of time on this earth, right? you know that after that, we die and death is forever, right?"
"hurrah, i've done it! i've finally met the one human on the planet who is capable of objectively, correctly assessing the relative attractiveness of everyone everywhere on earth. please, oh please pray tell: what number am i? what number is he? what number is she? numbers all around, please!"
"what an exhausting way to live. what a tiring way of interacting with other people. what a dispiriting way to view the world around you, a world teeming with life and strangeness and possibility. serious question: are you alright?"
"i was going to make a crack about new yorkers being looks-obsessed, but in retrospect i have no idea why. i'm sorry. i genuinely have nothing against nyc, a location i have visited only a handful of times, including one trip to see the very person to whom you made your ill-advised remark, lo these years ago, and we had what i would call a magical time. i don't actually understand pitting one city against another. i don't understand the mentality that there must always be a ranking, must always be a competition, must always, always be a winner and a loser. also if you're a ten, everyone else here is a twelve, baby."
"on some level, i do understand that eventually this ceases to be a piece about the irritating thing a friend's work colleague once said, and instead becomes a chronicle of my own deranged inability to let a grudge go—even a petty grudge, even a second-hand grudge, even a grudge which i am again compelled to inform you saw its spark of creation multiple years and several moves ago. (neither the friend nor i live in chicago anymore.) on some level, i understand that this turning point, the moment where any sensible reader went "yikes, jess really hasn't let this go, huh?" might have happened in the very title of this post. i have never met you, woman who maybe five years ago told some chicagoans you worked with that you're an 8 in new york and a 10 in chicago. you could have changed since then. you could have grown and deepened and evolved your thinking. i do believe people are capable of learning. maybe you even remember saying it, and regret it now. maybe not. but to be honest, worse things have been said—to me, to my best friend, to everyone who has been on this planet longer than a few years. life is exhausting and scary and wonderful and we are all going to die some day. you are an adult and that means you have had hard days, hard weeks, hard years even. you have been heartbroken, and sick with worry, and you have known terror, real terror, that animal fear that crawls up the spine and screams in the brain, and yet you found it in yourself to get in a airplane and fly halfway across a large country to be here, for the sake of a job you might not even like. we are all doing the best we can. i have to believe we are all doing the best we can. i could have written this post about anything. there were near-infinite possibilities and i chose this, a mean little caricature, and in trying to paint you, only managed a quick and unflattering sketch of me, a person obsessed with being right and being clever, but who frequently is neither. again, i have never met you, and if i do meet you i will never know it, and i have spent more brain space imagining a tiny, bitter vengeance against this single-sentence quote, relayed to me at a remove, than i have spent trying to learn calculus or teaching myself to garden or volunteering at a soup kitchen. if there ever was a winner or a loser in this bizarre equation it is fully possible that i have lost, simply by trying so hard to win."
"...ok."

transcript of the clip LO posted: "some make the argument that star was meant to be this way because it's inspired by anime, but that's a statement that need qualifying. which anime? well, sailor moon obviously. but that sentiment is found on any of the other shows. anime is a pretty wide medium with many irons and many fires, but the phrase anime inspired always narrowed it in small niche and culturally embarassing side of it that even Japan doesn't like to be reminded of it" (source_not_found) "when someone says anime inspired they never say that they were inspired by hello kitty or hamtaro or that silly one where everyone is sharply dressed and ridiculously buffer" (an image of Jojo Adventures) "no, it's always this shit that no one in their right mind would be caught with."
the last part of the clip shows this:
let me debunk this clip piece by piece.
1. you literally just said that SVTFOE is inspired by Sailor Moon, the anime that really popularized and cemented the magical girl genre for the public. although it wasn't the first one, it's the one everyone immediately associate whenever "magical girl" it's mentioned. to say that SVTOFE is inspired by Sailor Moon it's already saying that it has magical girl elements and many conventions of that genre baked into it. that's what it means. even the less knowlegeable people in anime will know what Sailor Moon is and if you tell them "this is inspired by Sailor Moon", they would know what it means. the fact that you insist that needs more "qualifying" and go on this completely incoherent rant talks more about your own ignorance than anything. "this show about a magical princess that comes from another dimension to earth in order to fight bad guys was inspired by this other show about another princess from another world that comes to earth to fight bad guys" is not a confusing statement at all, so i'm confused as to what you thought was necessary to "qualify" here?
LO, when people say that your video are becoming worse because you lack structure and keep pulling words that don't end up connecting to any central idea, this clip is an example of what people mean. this whole rant was entirely unnecesary and it didn't help your point come across. any editor would have told you to either remove it entirely or worded it a lot different. by your response i can see that you think you were doing something there. i promise that you didn't.
2. LO, Japan is not embarassed by anime. i actually don't know from where you took that one. otakus were seen as embarassing because they were our equivalent of the incel stereotype that doesn't interact with people and lives indoors all day, but even that's changing. anime by itself was always part of the cultural expression of the country. they treat Evangelion like here in the west we treat Mickey Mouse, they plaster the images of those characters everywhere in the most populated areas. similar to how you have the "baby sister" you decided to romance in baldur's gate all over your tumblr, while trying to insist you don't have incestuous attraction to your younger sibling. but at least they don't do it to flaunt their incestuous attraction.
you keep projecting this image of Japan being embarassed and annoyed by the existence of anime without any evidence or even an attempt to explain how that makes any sense. the anime industry is huge, it's one of the cultural products that Japan more profits with because they can export it to the rest of the world and the rest of the world wants more of it. in what planet does it make sense that they would be "embarassed" by something like that?
3. do you want to know why nobody ever says that something was inspired by hello kitty or hamtaro, LO? that's because Hello Kitty doesn't have an actual story. it's an cutesy aesthetic around a bunch of cute characters that a company made in order to sell cute merchandize. there was to my knowledge only one show made with Hello Kitty, but i believe none of that had anything to do with the official canon of the character.
if you think about it, Hello Kitty is kinda like Barbie. it's a recognizable icon completely by itself. there can be stories made with it, but Hello Kitty will never go through a character development moment and will never change. she will always be just a cute kitty, just like Barbie can be whatever is the most convenient for Mattell in any given moment.
as to Hamtaron, it was just a slice of life anime about cute animals. it was cute, indeed. but it didn't do anything new that thousands of other people weren't doing after or before with their own spins on it. here, a list of anime/manga that were exactly the same as Hamtaro without being directly inspired by it because nobody really invented the "slice of life story through the perspective of a pet" genre. it took me one google search to find, there's more if you want to see. if you're so desperate for more content "like Hamtaro" it was always that easy to find.
... more so, again, what does this have to do with SVTFOE or literally any other show that isn't about cute animals being cute?
about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and nobody ever was inspired by it in the west... you have to be joking with that one.
here are videogames inspired by JJBA: https://www.thegamer.com/best-jojos-bizarre-adventure-video-game-references/#bayonetta
other manga and anime it inspired: https://www.cbr.com/jojo-bizarre-adventure-anime-manga-inspirations/
shows in the west that it inspired/have direct references to JJBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHhNUVtozKY one of the shows mentioned is Monkey Kid, which her wife watches.
do you know why you don't hear that something wasn't inspired by this, LO? because nothing of the shows you watch had anything that could be inspired by JJBA or you wouldn't even understand the reference in the first place.
one of the other shows that also had references was Amphibia... which LO refused to see because *checks notes* it had a plot.
4. the two things i circled in red are not even anime. they're games. the one with two girls hugging and looking up with fear is Rape Lay, a infamous game about raping underaged girls and their mother until you get them pregnant and they either kill you or you force them to have babies. the other one is Doki Doki Majo Shipan, a game whose main objective is that you have to undress and touch the bodies of different characters in order to find a "witch mark". many of those characters are underaged, but a few are adults and you play as a highscholer so it's still not better.
i just want to ask the following.
why did you bring two games, two infamous games about touching or raping underaged bodies for that matter, when talking about SVTFOE at all? just why? what was the thought process here? how does this make your point any more clearer? how it does examplify better that "anime inspired" is bad when you don't even show anime and is instead games?
anyone should seriously question why you brought this games up at all when talking about a show that was made by Disney. a show about a underaged magical princess of another world. why did your mind ever went to those games when talking about this?
you just exposed, with no warning mind you, a bunch of your audience to these games to discover by themselves. you did that. and that was bad and you should feel bad about it.

I'm not sure if this a dumb question or if it has already been asked before but are the earthlings(humans,plants,animals etc) earth's children/offspring or do they just so happen to live on his surface? Also are the humans of this universe aware that the celestial objects are alive?
Howdy! Thanks for this question. Actually I've been working on that lore behind the scenes since it's frankly confusing, even to me, how the setting would work.
I think I have a more solid foundation now though; though this lore could change, give or take a few details, as I go along!
SOME LORE:
DISCLAIMER: I don't have actual terms for their forms yet, so I'll just call them "Human (planet name)" and "Globe (planet name)" haha
Summary: There are Human forms of planets, and they have Globes that hold their "souls"/reflect the reality we experience. They have these Globes fixed inside/outside of their houses and cannot be moved.
I always thought we have a Human Earth and the Globe Earth. Human Earth houses this Globe Earth in his home, where it is fixed in place as with other planets/stars.
Human Earth is like his projected self that allows him to interact with other planets without gravitational consequences (in real life, Earth and Moon being physically close would be a catastrophe).
This Globe Earth stays in his house, in a fixed orbit.
HOUSES: (I'm still deciding what their houses look like and if they're like floating islands in space, but their house sizes are proportional to their Globes. Sun lives in a castle, Earth lives in a house, Saturn lives in a mansion, etc.)
He takes care of the humans in this planet Earth, as if he was taking care of a terrarium! So to answer your question, the earthlings are like his pets.
All planets have the power to come into this globe in their human form. Hence this panel, where Luna and Earth sit side by side in what appears to be Earth's habitat:
Earthlings don't seem to be aware that they're celestial bodies in human form, though! They only seem aware of the Globe forms, and it's the only things visible to them.
(The closest thing I can relate this to is probably the Serenitea Pot for Genshin Impact players out there.)
Now onto the effects:
When Human Planets get attacked in this form, they can still feel pain, even if it doesn't last too long or would not be permanent.
Thankfully, it's highly likely it won't affect us unless their homes/Globes get attacked.
That's why Earth is terrified in these panels:
I didn't think of the lore at the time so I wasn't able to draw it out, but he was probably in his home when this was happening.
He will feel the pain if that asteroid hit him, but he was more terrified of the asteroid hitting his home and Globe Earth. If that happens, it will deal lasting damage to him and his Earthlings!
Unlike if it only hits his Human Earth form, the pain will occur but it won't last very long since it's mostly a projection.
(The best I can describe this is like... Madoka Magica and their soul gems. Except they don't sign a contract. Maybe the gems and their projection from Steven Universe too. Except these globes are fixed on a place in/out of their homes.)
I hope that answers your question, anon! I'm still a little confused about the solid lore myself, but here's what I got so far. So it's like science dabbed with a little scifi and space magic.
#long post#art#asks#anonymous#earth#moon#terrius#luna#heliospheric lore#again disclaimer: this may change as i go along; give or take some details#i'll be honest i never thought about this when i started years ago haha so these are new concepts. and kinda barebones#i'm not sure if this is also applicable to other bodies like black holes.. maybe

Hi, feel free to ignore this ask, or point me wearily to the FAQ if i missed it, but can I asked what inspired the world of Lore? Specifically the holistic nature of it, where different tales live side by side. I am a…hopeful, one-day fairy and folk tale scholar, and in my studies I’ve seen this concept pop up in a lot of more modern retellings/reimaginings, and one of my projects has been to see if i could find a source. When i say inspiration/source, I don’t mean singular piece(s) of media that gave you the idea (if you have one id love to know it though!) i more mean sorta your own internal source, the emotional trigger that led you to grouping separate fairy tales into one larger world. I know theres a lot to be said for the simple concept of “because it fucks, thats why” (some of my favorite interpretations of tales spawn from similar concepts) but if you have the time or energy, id love it if you’d be willing to ponder deeper motivations.
Sorry for the long ask, im absolutely obsessed with your characters and the worlds you create by taking archetypical settings and twisting them into something new and intriguing. Thank you for sharing your art (in all senses of the word) with us!
Thank you! And I very much love overthinking fairy tales and their existence SO I SHALL DO EXACTLY THAT!
For me, the reason I just plopped down every fairy tale into the same world, aside from a simple "Because everyone else does it and it's my favorite type of fantasy world" is because it makes so much sense to me.
There's a ton of repeated themes and characters in fairy tales to the point they have a classification system to make folklorist's lives easier when categorizing them. There are so many different Cinderellas, and I don't mean just the European one, as it's a fable that has been found all around the world. There are very much big differences in each story but the literal age old tale is still noticeable.
I took a mythology and fairy tale class in high school where we talked about "The Hero's Journey" which is like a template nearly every story falls into regardless of where a story is from. And for me, it was wild seeing just how many shared tropes humanity has as a whole in our storytelling.
A character that pops multiple times, aside from Prince Charming, is the Big Bad Wolf. OF COURSE it's because wolves were (and still are somewhat) dangerous animals and so that is how they are characterized in fables such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. But it's still noticeable that these stories overlap with each other so fitting them into a single world just makes a lot of sense.
Another gigantic reason is that we all live in reality. There's a general understanding of what can and cannot occur on Earth. We know we can't fly without some machine to aid us or talk to animals and have them speak our language back to us. And many mythical beings can potentially be traced back to specific interactions early humans had with rare instances in nature and a need to have a reason "why?".
In fairy tales, reality is fantastical. Numerous tales have talking animals, super natural beings, shapeshifting, characters defying death and recovering from "should have been" fatal injuries, and being able to live happily ever after with never ending love.
We humans don't really get that. Especially that last part with happy endings and love. Sure, we can live a peaceful life or try to but there's this level of joy in some tales that only exists in fairy tales. And love so so much more complicated than the typical "love at first sight that lasts forever without problems".
With all these elements that land fairy tales in a different realm of reality than us, I thought it made sense to actually make a realm (or rather a planet) that explains why things in the world of fairy tales are so much more different than us and even somewhat explain why our reality doesn't have magic in it.
It basically traces back to that age old human urge to explain the unexplainable with some story.

Round 2 - Group 2A
Submission notes under cut. Some submissions had notes others did not:
Yua Serufu and Abe Nana:
Nana claims to be an alien from Planet Usamin that crash landed on earth and decided to become a seiyuu idol. She also says she's eternally 17 years old. Through her rabbit ear antennae she can communicate with her home planet. She's also a magical girl that protects both earth and Planet Usamin. ...of course, this is all her fake backstory for her job as an idol, she's actually a grown ass woman who pays taxes. most people in the fandom believe her to be 27. but she gets. really. really into her fake idol lore. whenever people call her out on it being fake she freaks out and starts bullshitting to keep up the act. also she really loves anime, obviously.
[Yua] is clumsy, to the point of injuring herself walking to school more often than not. She still thinks it's a good idea to use power tools. If she wasn't an anime character, she would have a lot worse than bandages and a perfect school nurse attendance record. (She also suggests dream-logic ideas when she's awake. Her friends shoot those down.) She's nice, but also...
[Yua] cannot go for a second without injuring herself somehow by pure accident. She's injured so much that the nurse in her school's nurse's office has an attendance record for her and she has presumably not missed a day since she got to that school. Also the first occurances of this are her slamming straight into a streetlight while biking because she decided it would be food to close her eyes while riding a bike and a scene where she tries to use a mechanical screwdriver and messes up so badly that she ends up losing her balance, crashing into some spare wood and then immediately having said wood crush her. She was fine after this. This cringefailness goes back to her childhood, where she sucked so bad at not getting herself injured during crafts that crafts had to be replaced with drawing as an activity in her home. She promptly began eating the drawings she made and the crayons themselves (don't worry, they were safe to eat ones). Personally I think she's a dyspraxic icon but that's not canon and all that is canon is that she is a loser. Her cringefailness doesn't just extend to this, because she also just acts like the number one pathetic girl ever (affectionate) sometimes. When she joined the do it yourself her club leader and also that nurse who has to deal with her daily made one pun with her name (specifically related to the fact that "Yua Serufu" sounds a lot like "yourself", causing "do it yua serufu" to be born as a phrase) and she immediately began going around repeating it to everybody, namely her childhood friend. Speaking of her childhood friend, a lot of why she stuck with the diy club, beyond meeting one (1) butch lesbian who everybody believed chased people down with hammers routinely, was because she remembered that her childhood friend and her used to have a bench they always hung out on and she immediately went to her club leader and was like "ok I need to learn how to make a bench so that I can instantly reconnect with my neighbor", only to realize that her friend did not want that and sadly go up to her club leader to dismiss the whole idea. The bench is outside of their club room now. She's very good at art, but tends to daydream and think in abstract ideas, so she once volunteered to draw treehouse blueprints for her buddies and promptly made a full abstract art piece which was not realistic at all. She has three pets and one of them is a miniature pig who she decided to name Meat for some reason. She loves them all so very much but she keeps eating pork dishes around the pig which it does not enjoy in the slightest. One time she saw a 12 year old crying and her immediate response was to offer her a handkerchief and a hammer and let her choose whichever she wanted. Her childhood friend keeps trying to deny how much she actually cares about her and keeps telling Serufu that she's allergic to everything in her life or telling her about her very cool technologically advanced classes while Serufu got into a worse but traditional school because she spaced out during the exam (she's actually super intelligent she's just not the greatest at staying focused. me too honestly) and Serufu is just like ":))) yep. yeah that sounds really cool :))) wowee I loved this conversation" but super genuinely actually because she's just fine with everything when it comes to her childhood friend. I have many things I could say about her but mostly I think she's funny
Propaganda: [1]
Clementine Kesh:
She’s a failed girlboss. She wants to rule the planet so desperately and pilots an ancient historical mech and has no idea what it does. Her rival is infinitely cooler than her. She dies after a religious leader criticises her too much and she tries to scrap with him but she falls off the side of a stationary space ship. Pathetic wet cat energy all the time.
war criminal... and her mom is mean to her
Kesh is so pathetic they became the devils favorite clown and they think that means the devil likes them
#pathetic woman showdown#pws round 2#tournament poll#the idolm@ster cinderella girls#nana abe#do it yourself!!#yua serufu#friends at the table#partizan#clementine kesh

Dreamscape Station DR 💭
I had a vision, but I’ve yet to work on this script enough for me to post a lot about it 😞 I did post about it tho on my TikTok account! Essentially it’s like the backrooms but cute, ethereal, not dangerous (kinda), and full of shifters from other realities. You take a train to different parts of ‘Dreamscape’ and explore! I made tickets for this DR too 😭😭
K-Pop Stan Life DR 💭
Self explanatory. I’m gonna be a fansite, buy as many albums as I could possibly buy, and trade cards with ppl online + provide lots of freebies!
J-Pop Idol DR (💭 kinda)
This was a requested script from someone on my request form (I’ve just realized I didn’t link my request form here on tumblr… it should be up before anyone’s read this). I ended actually using this script for my love live DR cuz my old love live scripts were the ugliest thing on the planet
Obsidian Bride DR
Obsidian Bride is a manhwa that’s literally Singles Inferno but in an isekai otome manhwa world + everyone’s based off a gem, your gem is chosen based on your life and personality!
MHA DR
I was influenced to shift here bc of Priicklleshifts on TikTok 😭😭😭. I don’t really like the actual anime that much, but it seems like a really fun place to shift to! The script for this DR is 100% complete (I haven’t added anything to it for months now)
Wind Breaker DR
Wind Breaker’s a bike racing manhwa that you can read for free on Webtoon. Idk who I’m gonna date, but I literally CANNOT date Jay bc he reminds me of my brother 😭😭
Made of Stardust DR
I’m so mad that nobody’s shifting here 😭 if you like fantasy romance books, stars, enemies to lovers, magical forests, angst, etherealism, I bet your ass would want to shift here. I plan to be Kalisa, and so far I don’t want to change the plot
Futuristic K-Pop DR 💭
Also self explanatory. I do have a filled version of this DR up if anyone wants to use it (It’s not in my current format tho cuz the script is old asf😭). I scripted in a contestant show where the contestants would come from different planets (Mars, Earth, and Kepler smth… I don’t remember the numbers)
Better CR DR 💭
The place I’ll probably be permashifting to
Hallows Ball DR 💭
Okay so I started this script like 2 years ago or smth and I was supposed to finish it before Halloween (it’s a masquerade ball DR but with a twist) and I just haven’t finished it yet 😭 let’s hope I finish it this year
How to Get my Husband on my Side DR
Another manhwa DR!
TGCF DR
I bought the first book to read bc I absolutely loved the anime 😭😭 I haven’t read more than like 30 pgs… I just really don’t like it when books are in third person 😭😭
Fantasy Kpop DR 💭
I completely forgot about this DR until I went through my TikTok account to see how ugly my themes were 😭😭 Basically this DR is set in a fantasy world, each of the kpop groups I scripted in are of different species (fae, vampires, elves, etc…) and I’ve gotta gather certain groups to help me find artifacts in every single kingdom so that magic doesn’t disappear (so corny omfggg…)
Hogwarts DR
I only wanted to shift here bc everyone else wanted to 😭😭
Old Kpop DR 💭
Not gonna shift here anymore, but the script is complete 😭😭 I remade it for my Kpop contestant DR
Kpop Contestant DR 💭
Self explanatory, there’s filled and non filled versions on my linktree
My Own Kpop Group DR 💭
This script happens in the same reality as my Kpop contestant one, this is this group I’ll be in once my contestant group disbands. My own Kpop group is time and mythology themed!
Laurier Academy DR 💭
An actual idol school DR, you learn how to be a Kpop idol + a bunch of other stuff. I made a whole school website for this DR and there’s a four versions of this script:
Filled Co-Ed
Empty Co-Ed
Filled Girls Only
Empty Girls Only
(Co-ed is all genders in one school)
Elite School DR 💭
Idk why anyone uses this script bc not only is it ugly but the formatting is 😨😨 this was my first script that I posted to TikTok, and it has all the characters from my other DRs as students. Idk why, but I made everyone has an animal form. Mines a cat (kinda boring but I wanna be able to sneak around 😭)
Dragon Rider Academy (Aethergarde Academy DR) 💭
There’s also a filled version of this script in my linktree, don’t recommend it tho cuz it’s also poorly formatted and ugly. I think this was the second script I posted on my TikTok account
Shifting Library DR (Realmwalker Library) 💭
It’s a shifting library but better! All the books here are written by shifters. There’s different sections for world building, storytimes, quizzes, fanfics (of other ppls DRs), tips & methods, nsfw storytimes (adults only plz), philosophy related to shifting, and discussions about shifting (idk why I didn’t just merge discussions with philosophy..). Don’t be surprised if some or most of the shifters here aren’t human! I scripted that all non malevont beings that shift can come here; this does also mean that the books are automatically translated into the language you understand best. Oh and the authors aren’t always going to be human.
Love and Deepspace DR
My script for this one is pretty much complete, but I really want to know more about MC’s evol before shifting here 😭
Mental Health DR
I won’t talk about this DR at all on TikTok or on here (sorry) bc it’s super personal and I don’t want to seem like a damn baby 😭😭. I’m actually kind of scared of men irl, plus I didn’t have the best high school experience in my DR. My goal with this DR is to practice talking to people and get over my fear of men. This DR is my first ever DR; my original intent with shifting is to help get over my fear of men + people in general, especially taller people
Waiting Room
My waiting room is essentially an isekai manhwa mansion 😭😭 I scripted that there’s a serving cart with one of those 3 tiered afternoon snack things + milk tea, the milk tea has special properties that calm me down immediately when I drink it. My goal is to use the smell of the tea to know that I’ve shifted, and to drink the tea so I don’t fuck myself over and shift back to my OR 😭😭

Chapter 12 of Harrow the Ninth
Act 2 has the same weird wrong-sized image for it as Act 1 did
This is "six months before the Emperor's murder", so it's been three months since the first act. Incidentally, the prologue is "the night before the Emperor's murder", which means that Number Seven actually took only nine months to get to them, and not ten
So they are going around killing planets, and then killing their souls so that the Resurrection Beasts can't eat them to get stronger. But the planet's soul right after it's been killed isn't very dangerous and can be dispatched by Harrow in eight and a half minutes. So why didn't John just kill the souls of the nine planets right after they died? I guess maybe he didn't know that they would become more powerful back then? But if they were chasing him for all of eternity, it seems like he would have had plenty of time to get rid of them before they became powerful. Or was there something different about the nine planets?
Also a little curious, if they've been going around killing planets for 10,000 years, did it never occur to any of the Lyctors to try to absorb the planet's soul?
But she can hold the sword now. I guess because of what she did to encase it in bone? Is this why they need swords - to kill planets? Are the swords necessary for this? If she has a perfectly functional sword that she's figured out how to hold and can use to kill planets, why does she also need to have a rapier?
This sort of implies that using the sword is not actually necessary for this, in fact
I guess this is supposed to mean that the River is less concrete than flesh and bone magic, but more concrete than soul magic? But yeah, Harrow is right, this analogy is terrible, just like the man-eating lava fish analogy from earlier
But I gather from this that the hungry ghosts do not attack you if you go into the River with just your spirit, only if you go with your body. Which sort of raises the question of why Cassiopeia went into the River with her body that one time, instead of just her spirit? It sounds like from the prologue and also this chapter, that you can fight Resurrection Beasts just fine with only your spirit
Are all the planet souls insect-shaped in the River? There was a lot of insect language in the prologue
In Gideon the Ninth, Harrow is always carrying around bone chips to use for necromancy, and seems to have an infinite supply of them somehow. In this book, she exclusively extracts pieces of her own body to use for necromancy. Is it just that she no longer has access to whatever infinite supply of bone chips she used to have, or was she doing it this way all along and Gideon just didn't notice? Also, I note that doing this when you're just a spirit is apparently fine, unlike when they were in the shuttle
The killing of the planet's soul seems like way too physical and gory and like, dependent on specific types of IRL anatomy to be like, a fight against something's soul. Why does a planet's soul have flesh in the River? Why does it have a brain? Why does it work the same way an animal does? These things aren't universal even among just organisms on earth. It's seems odd. If it's meant to be just in Harrow's head, the way that the corpses in the shuttle were, why does it matter if she stabs it in the brain, versus any other part of its body?
So this is why everyone is convinced that Harrow will die in the prologue, when they are fighting the Resurrection Beast. Harrow has a sort of confusing partial Lyctorhood - she has access to the Lyctoral well, which she in theory shouldn't if she had removed Gideon's soul, but indeed doesn't seem to have Gideon's soul in every other respect. But regardless, it seems like there's an easy solution to this - since no one else on the Mithraeum has this issue, someone else could surely just cast some necromancy over her to protect her body while she's in the River. Surely the other Lyctors (and John) aren't so petty as to not realize that this is beneficial for everyone, right?

[response to a previous ask] Looking for a fic with the same kind of writing/humor as Bite First, Ask Questions Later by Daredevilsinthedetails & Kaylessi.

His need for help on his quest brings him to Hermione. The curious circumstances of his discovery lead them to Draco. What they uncover in the hidden sands of Egypt sets forth an unexpected mission to save the planet. A Dramione romance set in the world of 1999’s epic blockbuster story, The Mummy.

You Make Me Shiver and Shake by Stargazing121 - M, 16 chapters - Draco is an artistic genius, Hermione a budding art agent. But once they start to work together, will they be able to resist the growing attraction between them? “I’m not going to take you on as an art client!” Hermione scoffed. “Why not Granger,” he said. His tone was silky, like the sound of fine cloth running through your hands. “You know there has always been something between us.” “That won’t work on me,” she answered flatly. “Ok, I admit that was pushing it.” He shrugged, “But pushing against beautiful women is what I do best Granger.” “Not that either.” “Damn it, I forgot that trying to flirt with you was like flirting with a slug. Actually, I think I’d get more luck with the slug.” “You’d make a lovely couple. You’re certainly as slippery,” Hermione said. “I can think of someone I would rather form a partnership with,” he said, his voice low and almost a whisper.
From Paris, With Love by longdistance - M, 10 chapters - She’s been gone from England for a few years but now she’s home again in time for Christmas. It will be a holiday season unlike any other.

Could you please write about each of the winx girls experiencing cultural shock when visiting each other's planets? Like them on Zenith or Andros, if you get what I mean😅
Here u go I hope this is what u meant!
Earth;
Stella: People not knowing about magic bothers them all but it's a extra circle of hell for Stella because she uses her magic for everything and she can't now
Flora: You know at least on Zenith the buildings are magic, they're not alive, but they have SOMETHING going on
Tecna: All the technology is so fucking old and Tecna is going to kill someone
Musa: Earth is a lot like Magix and Musa very quickly got used to Magix, and yeah ppl don't know shit about magic but people didn't have access to constant magic in her hometown either. She misses being able to make pop culture references that people can understand
Aisha: Why is there a island of garbage in the ocean??? WHY IS THERE A ISLAND OF GARBAGE IN THE OCEAN??
Tho a big thing is everyone knows that the Great Dragon is God so all these not Great Dragon religions are very confusing
Solaria;
Bloom: Its never nighttime on Solaria, Bloom's circadian cycle is completely fucked
Flora: Seeing what flora and fauna are like on a plant where there is no night is so fucking weird. Like it's so weird to her
Tecna: Why does everyone here take eye contact as a excuse to start meaningless small talk
Musa: Musa is used to royals at least being like...a little respected as political figures. On Solaria they're literally just figure head celebrities who are constantly hounded by trashy magazines, it's just really weird to someone who grew up with a royal family that actually has power
Aisha: Solaria is a desert, Aisha comes from an ocean planet, save to say Aisha is VERY OUT OF HER DEPTH
Because it's so hot on Solaria most people walk around shirtless...it's a tits out kinda planet. That and they do midday naps whenever the sun is at it's peak
Noctilucae;
Bloom: Bloom is used to places with a fuck ton of light pollution (ie Earth and Magix) and being able to look up and see all the stars because people on Noctilucae don't use bright lights is so wild to her
Flora: She thought the animals on the all sunlight all the time planet was weird, plants on the all moonlight all the time planet are so fucking weird (she misses the sun)
Tecna: Noctilucae mixes Tecnomagic and natural magic in a very solar punk esq way and it's v wild to Tecna who always assumed it was one or the other
Musa: it's quiet on Noctilucae. Musa has never delt with quiet before. Low noise pollution what the fuck
Aisha: <- Is scared of the dark
^ is on the nighttime planet
Bonus: Stella is rarely at her mother's home planet but she never gets over being able to see without sunglasses or enchanting her eyes. It's one of the places she won't complain about running around because it's so easy on her eyes
Linphea;
Bloom: WHY ARE THESE BUGS SO BIG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Stella: yeah no, she'd like a raincheck on all this nature. Where are the roads?? Her shoes are getting dirty
Tecna: The most Tecnomagic anywhere is cell towers. Everything else is completely natural magic and it is weirding her the FUCK out
Musa: Musa grew up having to defend her self and is usually very bitey because of it but everyone here is just so chill and kind it just saps the sarcasm out of her
Aisha: Linphea buildings are extremely resistant to natural disasters so Aisha is always extremely confused by how chill everyone is when one is going to happen. (It's because they live in trees and such that they can magically reinforce while Andros water magic makes it easier to keep away the natural disasters)
Zenith;
Bloom: Bloom feels like she just walked into a sci-fi movie what the fuck is all this Tecno bullshit??? She is so fuckin confused by how high tech everything is—WHY DO ALL THE APPLIANCES TALK??
Stella: No one fucking smiles. Stella's so used to walking around and making eye contact and smiling and getting the same back but here everyone stares at her like she's insane, why does everyone hate smiling???
Flora: Not a single area of the city's Zenith is known form has natural magic. It's all tecnomagic. All the buildings are magic but not a single one is alive. Nothing is alive. It's driving her in-fucking-sane. Not to mention how everyone is so standoffish and no one smiles–
Musa: "What do you mean the doctor visit is free? What do you mean my perception is free? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HEALTH CARE IS FREE??" Zenith has the best societal health care system in the dimension and letting someone die because they can't afford to live is illogical so it's all free and it makes Musa's head spin
Aisha: Zenitan is like Finnish, you talk to the queen the same way you talk to your friends. There is no polite way to address someone. Aisha's has never been in a situation where she can always talk casually?? Zenith doesn't have time for niceties
Melody;
Bloom: This place has an honest to god functional monarchy and a aristocracy....Bloom keeps forgetting that the magical dimension still has real monarchies
Stella: So much of Melody is floating and Stella is aggressively in her fairy form all the time because it's terrifying
Flora: Melody uses their core of harmony to keep nature docile and it weirds the fuck out of Flora. Nature is murderous and powerful what the fuck do you MEAN you domesticated it???
Tecna: It's very loud. There's always some kind of music playing constantly and people talking loudly over it. Zenith has bots that give announcements that keep Zenith from being too quiet but this is just so weird
Aisha: most people are to themselves and their own group on Melody and people will be visibly weirded out if you're a stranger randomly going up to people, very different from Andros
Andros;
Bloom: It's not that bad. All land masses on Andros are islands, there are two fucking species with different forms of government just hanging out with each other, it rains FUCKIN constantly. Bloom has never been around this much water in her life and she does not like it. The Andros people are fairly chill but the relationship between sea Andros and land Andros always feels a little shaky to both sides, because if either of them goes rogue, due to their access to the ocean gates, that would start an intergalactic war. So everyone is always either a touch nervous or doesn't give a fuck. There are constant ceremonies going on to control the weather because magical tsunamis are a hell and a half but everyone is very nonplussed about the fact that their entire home could be wrecked because the ocean felt like it today. It's very "what can you do". It's what Bloom imagines earth will be life after everyone gets used to magic
Stella: OH DEAR GOD IS IT FUCKIN HUMID. Solaria is dry. Solaria is dry as balls. Noctilucae is wet, but it's foggy. The water is cool, this is hot wet and sticky and she despises it and her hair is ruined and she is going to die. There is so much fish. Stella has only seen this much fish the one time she visited her mother's planet. Stella cannot find a single non-sea food meal. The local desert planet girl is VERY confused
Flora: Depends. Land Andros is kinda....at war with nature. Mostly because nature is trying to fucking drown them and destroy all their infrastructure I with tsunamis constantly. Flora doesn't understand it, but sea Andros??? Sea Andros is her vibe. Sea Andros unde buyingrstands the voice of nature and is the oceans children. Tho watching storm chasers (magic users who use their magic to stop storms) always jars the fuck out of her
Tecna: The most popular pass times on Andros are swimming and surfboarding and stuff so it's not uncommon to see a bunch of random Androian people who just met hanging out together because they decided they wanted to play a team sport together. They're not as outwardly friendly as Solarians but quicker to become familiar pretty quickly which is extremely odd for Tecna. Strangers being kind is normal on Zenith, strangers being personable on the other hand?? No absolutely not. Zenith is very polite but not friendly and Andros's sense of comrade catches Tecna off guard all the time
Musa: Why in the flying fuck are there so many storms here??? Melody is very lucky because its magic of harmony keeps the sea calm and such but seeing what it could have been like if they didn't have nature constantly being mellowed out is so scary
Domino;
Bloom: Public uses of bigger magic is both legal and common, sometimes you'll see someone fling some magic in the air to make a firework. Magic everywhere
Stella: Domino has a lot of festivals and parties. Uh Solaria doesn't, it's hot as balls, people will party but dear god not that often
Flora: If two people consent they can legally beat the shit out of each other in a fight, Flora has never been so confused
Tecna: Everything is very loud on Domino down to the decorations and its very strange to her
Musa: Domino has a strong sense of community, like even with strangers, for just the sake of helping. Which is similar to Zenith except it's warmer and less impersonal. It's very strange to Musa
Aisha: bonfires are not a common thing on Andros, but you'll see people sitting around them everywhere at night on Domino

That was great! This next prompt is a bit more angsty. So it’s Danny’s birthday, and what does he get? It turns out the realms was waiting for him to become a certain age before he could take up kingship, the problem with that is that he and Pariah need to have an official battle for the crown, with each of them being given one of the two king items (the crown or the ring) so that both of them are of equal power. Basically they have to fight for the crown and the fate of the earth…with the fight being broadcasted live throughout the entire planet. Basically this prompt is seeing Marinette, Adrien, and maybe Alya’s reaction to the fight. The fight ends with Danny winning of course, but it’s a close thing with him literally flickering in and out of his human and ghost form, with his identity being revealed once the fight is over since he could no longer maintain his ghost form . What do you think? Bonus points if Adrien is an anime fanboy here, lol.
I think the main problem here is that Pariah technically isn't supposed to be able to leave the Ghost Zone? I can't remember the specific canon explanation at the moment (assuming there was one. DP tends to pass over a lot of explanations, which fair I guess) but I think that was a big, important reason why Pariah brought Amity Park into the Ghost Zone to begin with since he couldn't very well go out to it. Of course there could be a magical way to get around this (and believe me, I'm trying to figure one out for a few other fic ideas that have been brewing in my brain) so this would lead to a question of how this is being broadcasted. Their battle would be so dangerous and the destruction would be so widespread I seriously doubt that anyone would be able to catch the full thing on camera/video. And this is also assuming that Danny and Pariah's ghostliness and power doesn't just cut the feed or make it all blurry.
Unfortunately I don't have full-on prose for this idea, but! I can imagine how their reactions would go.
I actually think this would help Marinette lose some of the hero worship for Danny because now she understands he's not just some ancient, super experienced, super powerful hero. He's like her, he's just another teenager trying to do his best with all this responsibility and power that he doesn't always know how to handle. I can actually imagine Marinette apologizing to him for how intense they used to be, because now she recognizes that his hesitation and discomfort for what it really was. It wasn't him trying to be humble, it was him feeling inadequate for such praise.
But for Adrien, I think he would actually respect Danny even more when he finds out Danny's civilian identity. I wouldn't say the hero worship gets more intense, but I think Adrien would have more respect for how Danny tries to juggle both and deals with all this power. Because while Adrien might not have the same responsibilities as Marinette (if she is the Guardian already in this AU), he does have a lot of power at his fingertips as Chat Noir. Adrien would be more blown away by the control Danny shows, and I definitely think he would compare it to some anime protagonists he's seen or watched on TV.
#halfagone replies#sorry not much this time#i don't have the brain cells#for a big fight scene right now#i am on the angstie#and there is no going back :P#dp x mlb

I don't know the exact deets but I do like how we basically have opposite views of Earth existing in the Borderlands universe.
You seem to view it as "the old world", where ancient relics of it can be found across the Borderlands.
I view the Six Galaxies as a Star Wars-esque setting where it takes place in a time and space far away from our own.
Granted my view might change when I get my hands on the lore book but alas.
To be honest my headcanon that Borderlands is set in the future kinda came out of nowhere aha. The way I reasoned it was mostly because of The Autism but let me try to explain !
1) A lot of what is established in the Borderlands lore is that the eridians were the only ones on the planet for the longest time, creating the vaults and all that cool shit, which is understandable seeing as the hostile enviroment in Pandora would make it pretty difficult for anything not already native there to thrive, yet they've all seem to have been wiped out. The vaults persist, there are guardians and stuff locked inside, but not even a shred of info for what happened to the eridians themselves, even if their influence over the system still lingers.
2) Humans are not only the main species in the planet, but the only sentient ones. That, and the fact they're just regular people who die A LOT because of the circumstances of the planet, tells me that the human race didn't just come to be on the planet– they were brought there somehow, and have had just barely enough time to be properly adapted (I mean, there's like 3 moons on this planet, the gravity must be INSANE. That without mentioning the notable lack of actual water). Aside from that though... They're normal guys. They're stronger and have slightly weird proportions (but my money goes on that its just the art style), but those are undoubtedly human beings, whom also have very normal if genre appropriate clothing, language, culture— And most of all, guns. They're so popular in fact that the Companies' main products are guns. You could argue that they're just banking on Pandorans being more violent, but what about the other planets ? For eden-6, there's even lore about how their guns are made and valued ! There's cultural shifts for how guns are manufactured in different planets !! If these people just naturally came to be on these planets, they would not need that much fire power... unless they didn't, and they were already preparing themselves in case of a threat !
2.5) That, and the fact there's so many references to Earth stuff in this universe [The names of the planets and magic being after greek myths, the company cultures, how some characters' names almost sound misspelled due a mistranslation, the references to just regular ass animals but Fucked Up, etc]
3) Ergo, there was a mass colonization of Pandora by humans, which subsequently lead them to get to all the other planets but also wiped out the Eridians in the process. The old world's history was slowly forgotten due to a lack of records ("I mean really, who's going to forget about the human empire? Don't even bother backing up those files!"), and its tech was either swallowed by the planet's ever changing surface (Like Pandora or Nekratafayo, both planets which are incredibly unpredictable and have fucked up structures in them), improved upon so much that there was no NEED to keep using them (Like Promethea), or just rejected overall once the population was established (Like Eden-6, which I headcanon to have the old timey aesthetic BECAUSE people wanted to reject those news technologies). All of these planets used to have aliens in them like the eridians, and the system was all interconnected with the building of the vaults, but when humans arrived they all just gradually either died off or went into hiding in planetoids and moons.
But thats just a theory... a GAY theory
Anyway yeah my headcanons are basically surrounding that haha. Hopefully this is coherent ! I LIKE the idea of Pandora and the other planets being more like star wars, but I'm Also Insane about the idea of using interstellar stuff as a grander space adventure typa thing <3
#magoriginals#txt#my posts#audience participation#my headcanons#borderlands#borderlands headcanons#my oc stuff#my writing#borderlands oc#<- technically ? i mean#thats how it operates for me at leasg haha

That last reblog has me now contemplating.
What if to mess with his shiny new little brother, but like....gently....when they first started hanging out Dick told Jason a couple of slight falsehoods as umm. A training exercise. That’s it. It was about helping Jason get up to speed with his information gathering skills and also his bullshit detection. So in the interest of being helpful and A Good Big Brother, Obviously....Dick sowed a few.....less-than-entirely-factual details about the more fantastical elements of their lives. The stuff that isn’t common or public knowledge to most of the DC Earth. And then he just.....waited to see how long it took Jason to realize Dick had fed him a handful of straight up lies when briefing him about All Things Superhero.
Look, it was for Science. That’s Dick’s story and he’s sticking to it.
Thus, for the first couple months of their new sibling relationship, Dick had Jason convinced that Atlanteans were actually aliens who landed here thousands of years ago, speedsters can run so fast they can travel back in time, and Superman once accidentally let out a burp so forceful it created a shockwave that shattered every glass in a quarter mile radius so whenever he starts to look....gassy....your best course of action is to hit the deck. Don’t even hesitate for a second, just dive to the ground and grab some floor until he’s got it back under control. And oh yeah, Diana has her Lasso of Truth, but Donna’s version of truth-related powers is that she can sense when people are up to no good....only, the way this manifests for her is she suddenly registers a distinct bad smell in her vicinity, alerting her that bullshit is afoot.
“You’re kidding,” Jason said flatly. “You expect me to believe that Donna can literally smell bullshit?”
Dick just raised an eyebrow. “Like that’s somehow less plausible than Gar being able to change into any kind of animal but only in shades of green? And oh yeah, speaking of green, Green Lanterns can do just about anything with their rings....except protect themselves from yellow paint? I don’t make the rules, Jace. The truth is sometimes superpowers aren’t super-glamorous and not everything related to magic or gods or other planets is as....sophisticated...as we presume. I mean, its not like these things exist just to match up to our expectations for them. Why should alien civilizations or the rules of magic be influenced by whether or not our society would find something weird or ridiculous?”
Jason chewed his lower lip contemplatively. He lacked an official bullshit detecting power himself, but he did have good instincts. Unfortunately for him, his shiny new big brother gave good Lying-to-your-face Face.
“Plus, if you really think about it, it does make a kind of sense,” Dick continued to explain helpfully. But only according to certain specific interpretations of ‘helpfully’ that actually mean ‘like a liar.’ “Our brains are constantly translating all kinds of input and stimuli into shapes or patterns we can actually process in a way that means something to us. So we can make use of that information. This is just the same thing. Donna’s power takes however many variables are involved in registering something as false or something she needs to be wary of...and just condenses it into a simple ‘red alert’ indicator that takes all that abstract, ephemeral data and makes it something actionable. Something she can actually do something with. Her power - or how her brain perceives it - just didn’t actually consult her or give her a choice of notification settings, because why would it?”
“I guess that makes sense,” Jason begrudgingly agreed, with a frown that suggested this particular ‘truth’ Offended his sensibilities.
“I mean, you can ask Donna to explain it herself if you want,” Dick said with a shrug. “Just a heads-up though....she’s not really a fan of how that power works either. Its not exactly a superpower anyone wants to be known for, and she’s heard allllll the jokes about it by now. Roy, Wally and I were perhaps....not the most sensitive when we were younger and she was honing that particular skillset? Though in our defense, I maintain that most of our jokes were hilarious. But anyway, just saying. If you wanna bring it up with her directly, go right ahead! Its definitely one of her favorite topics and Amazons are for sure known for how well they handle being self-conscious.”
And that’s the story of the three months Jason spent convinced that Atlanteans were from another planet, confusing the hell out of Garth with his occasional references to ‘your homeworld’ and his numerous questions about all the Atlantean Green Lanterns that he for some reason seemed convinced the Green Lantern Corps must obviously have a long history of.
And its also why Jason spent those same three months getting wide-eyed and nervous any time he noticed Donna’s nose so much as twitch when he was around. Which it did a lot more often than usual, thanks to how often Dick got horseradish to go with whatever he was having for lunch, knowing full well that Donna can not stand the smell of horseradish. (Dick’s actually not a fan either, and he hates how it tastes, but he’s not afraid to Suffer for the sake of Shenanigans. Its a fundamental part of the Robin experience and persona, after all.)
But it was the Donna thing that gave Dick away, ultimately. No matter how hard he tried to keep a lid on how entertaining he now found the sight of Donna’s occasional nose twitch...even a Batkid poker face can’t keep an empath and telepath from finding this a mystery worth untangling after the tenth time it happens.
(Not that Lilith or Raven are gonna apologize for prying any time soon. They had an obligation as his friends and teammates to investigate when he’s acting bizarre, y’see. What if its because he was brainwashed again? “We’re intrusive because we love,” Lilith insists with zero shame. Raven clarifies: “I was intrusive because she was already doing it so there seemed no point not to.” Lilith points out that this could also be construed as a sign of strong leadership potential. Dick glowers. Lilith waves a hand dismissively. “We can circle back to that later. That’s fine.”)
Anyway, the truth came out at last, Jason cites this as the Moral Justification for every single time and way he was a pain in the ass to Dick in the years to come, and Donna - who was Not Amused - gave a pointed sniff and called bullshit when Dick tried to claim this was an important Bonding Opportunity for he and Jason, wherein they became brothers ‘for real’ instead of just via Bruce. “There are intricate sibling rituals to be observed,” Dick insisted. “I did my research! We had so much time to make up for, I had to speedrun through my shenanigans to get us all caught up! Would I have done all this if I didn’t care?”
Every Titan in the room, familiar with the lengths he’d gone to when messing with Rogues and randos as Robin and thus distinctly unimpressed: Yes. Absolutely. One hundred percent.
Dick foraged on heroically. “Regardless! That’s not the case here, as all of this was clearly done in the name of brotherhood and bonding! We’ll laugh about this someday, you’ll see!”
Ten years later, after Jason’s returned as the Red Hood and reintegrated with the Batfamily to varying degrees, enough so that he accompanies Dick and the rest of the OG Titans on a mission where they’re ambushed, captured and trapped in a supervillain dungeon they’re now trying to escape...
Dick: Definitely kicking myself for not seeing that ambush coming. Where’s a bullshit-sniffing power when you really need it, huh?
Jason: Still not laughing yet.
Dick: Oh come on!
As far as the rest goes, Jason does get a kick out of the speedsters discovering that actually, they can run fast enough to travel through time. He’s like, despite your best efforts you accidentally got one right. And Dick’s all ‘was it an accident or did I actually know or have strong suspicions all along’....but Jason shuts that down. “Nope. Not giving you this one. Try it with someone else.”
However, that still left one last card in play, long after everyone - even Dick and Jason themselves - had all but forgotten about it.
See, every Batkid knows that the best lies contain elements of truth. And that’s why Dick only peppered in his fake trivia very, very sparingly amidst a massive info-dump of actually accurate and useful info he gave Jason about all that stuff, way back when.
So despite the handful of things Dick had told him that Jason eventually discovered to be untrue...the vast majority of it did check out.
Which means even once he did catch on to Dick’s game....that didn’t change his acceptance of the stuff that had turned out to be true or verified by others. But in the end, there was only one little fib that slipped under the radar. Because the scenario it was based on just never happened to come up until long after Jason had returned....and thus Jason never had reason to put much thought into actually questioning whether or not it was true. Not until long after he’d stopped scrutinizing stuff Dick had told him, in search of possible ‘traps.’
And THAT is the story of how Jason - on one of the rare occasions that he joined the Titans and Justice League for an all-hands-on-deck kinda teamup - just happened to be in the right wrong place at the right wrong time to notice Superman suddenly start to look queasy after trying some alien cuisine....
And without a second thought, Jason just instinctively dove for the floor. With this followed by Clark letting out an extremely normal-sounding burp and a sheepish apology.
Everyone else, staring at the infamous Red Hood ducking for cover because Clark had a moment of indigestion: umm. wut
Dick, staring wide-eyed at his brother and trying not to laugh: Oh shit. I totally forgot all about that.
Jason, almost conversationally, while climbing to his feet and stalking ominously towards his big bro: Hey can you believe that after all the shit we’ve been through and all the times we’ve fought over like...actual life and death stuff, THIS is the thing I’m actually gonna kill you for?
Dick, backing away, hands raised placatingly: Hey, c’mon now, Jace, we called a truce about all this ages ago, remember? It was a much younger, dumber me who did all that in the first place, y’know? You’re better than this!
Jason: I’m really not.
Dick: Well then can I just take this opportunity to mention again how sorry I am for any creative embellishments I might have once come up with, in the mistaken belief that I was honoring important traditions of brotherhood, and....
Jason: Hey, where’s Donna? Can anyone see if her nose is twitching?
Donna and the rest of the Titans, blatantly amused and offering no explanation to the very confused Justice League: Oh, bullshit absolutely detected. In the interests of Truth and Justice, you should totally proceed.
Dick, jabbing his finger at his teammates before dashing for the door: Betrayal! J’accuse!
Donna, shrugging: Sorry, Rob. Justice demands impartiality. Our hands are tied.
Jason, running out the door and down the hallway in pursuit of his fleeing brother: Yeah you better run! I’ve waited ten fucking years to get back at you for this shit. Where you going anyway, bro? I thought you wanted to laugh about this someday!
Dick (offscreen): I regret nothing! It was all worth it! You should have seen your face!
Jason (offscreen): You couldn’t even see my face, idiot! I’m wearing my fucking helmet!
Dick (offscreen): Semantics! If something’s funny enough, you can sense what someone’s face probably looks like! If you know, you know!
Jason (offscreen): Oh yeah, go ahead and make up some more shit, Grayson, that’s definitely the right way to go here!
Batman, looking to the Titans and waving his hand at...whatever all that is offscreen: Explain.
Roy: Hey don’t look at us. You’re the one who made them brothers. This is on you.
Batman: What does that even mean.
Lilith: If you know, you know. Dick’s right about that much at least.
The Titans all nod like an actual, self-evident truth was just expressed. Bruce pinches the bridge of his nose, and starts muttering under his breath.
“You need to encourage Dick to seek out and make like-minded friends, Alfred said. It’ll be good for him, he said. Its what he needs and definitely not the point everything starts to go downhill.”
Lilith picks it up loud and clear, because of course she does, and incidentally, the smug, obnoxious know-it-all teenage psychic who started hanging out with Dick when they were teenagers has absolutely nothing to do with Bruce’s profound dislike of telepaths, nooooo, that would be ridiculous and irrational, to bear a grudge against everyone with a particular skillset because one of your son’s childhood friends was a royal pain in the -
Lilith: Oh, that’s adorable. He thinks we’re the reason Dick’s so profoundly weird and inexplicable.
The Titans, in unison: LOL.
Roy: The self-deluding, it is strong in that family.
Bruce is suddenly extra glad he’s wearing a cowl that hides what is definitely not a pout but might be mistaken for one by the uninformed thus its better to just dodge that issue entirely. He crosses his arms and stares down the collection of his eldest son’s friends, whom he has been unfairly plagued by since most of them were pre-pubescent little demons. Literally no one has suffered like he has.
“I don’t like you,” he informs them officiously. Not sulkily. Officiously.
Several of them snort. There’s a couple giggles. An eye roll from Roy. An aborted response hastily turns into Wally coughing into his hand. Blatant dismissal from Victor, his attention clearly on whatever he’s browsing online. Three varying shades of raised eyebrows: unflappable bemusement from the sorceress, patronizing amusement from the psychic, naked incredulity from Donna. Garth gazing off into an empty corner which he has on very good authority is basically the Atlantean version of the middle finger.
“Yeah, no shit,” Roy drawls, apparently on behalf of the whole group.
Ugh, they’re just. The worst. Why couldn’t Clark have had a kid Dick’s age so he never had to go looking elsewhere for socialization? That’s it. Clearly this was all Clark’s fault. He can’t believe he never realized that before.
Dammit Clark.
#this started out as Dick and Jason shenanigans and then somehow morphed into Bruce really doesn't like his kid's friends#because I firmly believe the Bruce vs the Titans antipathy is one hundred percent a two way street#and not so deep down Bruce (super rationally) blames them for some of the distance between he and Dick over the years#the world's greatest detective is like 'well Dick and I (mostly) got along just fine until THEY came along and then all of a sudden it was#oh sorry Bruce I cant hang out cuz I gotta go play with all my friends who hate you because they're horrible little goblin children#and look I've connected the dots' because correlation is definitely causation#cut to Bruce grumpily slouched in the Watchtower's monitor room watching the Titans mop up the Fearsome Five#to loud public acclaim#Clark hovers nearby. both figuratively and literally. he is Concerned#'Bruce you do know that resenting Dick's friends and holding a grudge against a bunch of fifteen year olds because#your kid doesn't always want to hang out with you anymore is Not the solution to repairing your relationship with Dick that you're looking#for right? please tell me that you know that'#Bruce. testily. 'yes Clark I know that'#Clark: okay. good. I was just worried because it. umm. doesn't always LOOK like you know that#Bruce: well I do and you can stop bringing it up. friends dont rub their friend's irrationality in their faces#Clark: see I dont think I know that rule#Clark: Im pulling from the book that says friends dont let their friends declare a feud against teenagers they've decided#are their personal mortal nemesis in some not-super-healthy war for their son's time and attention#Bruce: well your book sounds stupid and wrong and you should throw it away and get a better book like mine#Clark.

My goodness HIII this is tertain from artfight… your art is GORGEOUS!! I would LOVE to learn more about your head world… are there other deities? What kind of creatures live on that world? IM HIGH KEY SUPER CURIOUS NOW!! 👁👁
HII !!! thank you so much !! and thank you for being interested in my headworld !! i'll put this under a readmore because this post Will be long i will ramble
im basically in a constant state of changing my mind about how the lore of my main headworld works ,without ever really writing i down in a concrete way (💔), but the gist of it is that it came to be when the goddess Ethel turned herself into a planet so that she could witness life in the universe besides just herself. she first created her son, Fenrihar, who could create life from the ground and watch over it for all of eternity. he is officially known as the father of dragons, ut his very existence and his actions are basically the first domino that would lead to the existence to almost all of the other gods and life forms
the main sapient species/sophonts in ethel are humans, sphinxes, mages (they're just anthro animals with cultures primarily geared towards mastery of magic use), dragons, miscellaneous spirits that can't really be considered on the same level as gods, and the gods themselves. i need to get to developing what the actual critters and plants on ethel are like though, but for now just assume there are a lot of earth animals and miscellaneous fantasy animals like sea serpents and the like.
the "main patheon" of deities in ethel is also something that is still unfortunately a work in progress after so much time because i am. bad at making new gods and just like to rotate the same few in my head (this is the curse of my headworld, i just think about the same few things ,when i really want to flesh out other things)
but to summarize, what ive got at the moment:
ethel: the planet herself! though when she appears in dreams and visions, she takes many forms, resulting in varied depictions of her. being in planet form is actually very painful for her - her tears led to the formation of the sea and the sea god nautilus.
at her core is a very high concentration of pure magic, and it radiates out up to the surface of the world- pure magic itself is incredibly dangerous to mortals and warps the world around it in strange ways, but in the usual process, by the time it gets to the surface it's in a safer and less concentrated form and helps uphold the structure of the physical realm (there are other realms and types of magic. for the most part they do not affect the physical realm, but they are intricately connected in imperceptible ways.) safer magic can be channeled and manipulated by those with a high "magic affinity" either through tools or directly through the user. its reality warping nature means it has a lot of potential in skilled hands
fenrihar: the first god besides ethel! he was created to jumpstart life on the surface and make sure it doesn't go extinct. he's responsible for a lot of important features of ethel due to his efforts to keep everyone from Just Dying. such as floating islands, a large river in the middle of the largest continent, and a collosal white tree reaching deep into the planet and far into the sky, created to contain an ancient force of destruction.
ilandel and llewenthe: the twin deities of the sun and moon, their work is of course very important to the wellbeing of ethel's denizens. ilandel created the sphinxes, while llewenthe created the mages. while on good terms with one another, they seem to have opposing philosophies- ilandel values the pursuit and sharing of as much knowledge as possible, while llewenthe is a more secretive sort, dispersing the secrets of the world only to her most loyal and trusted of disciples.
in the earlier eras of the world, ilandel was much more jovial and sociable and would often visit his children in their burgeoning city kingdom. the early sphinxes, just like ilandel, sought to discover and record as much knowledge as possible, and their civilization was renowned for vast libraries. there was an insatiable desire within the collective conscious of the sphinxes to find the "ultimate truth of the universe" as they called it. until in one day, the entire civilization burned itself down, leaving not a trace of their records. the only survivors were groups of sphinxes that had left the main city kingdom months or years prior. it's a bit too long to get into on this already long post, but a certain royal scientist named minerva was the main catalyst for these events
after the fall of the early sphinxes, ilandel fell into a deep grief and now hides himself away from the world except for when he carries the sun. so he doesn't uphold his philosophy very strongly in the present day, and he seems reluctant to contact his still surviving sphinxes, leading to many groups choosing other gods as patrons under the belief that their father has abandoned them :(
nautilus: a massive serpent and the sea god! he was the next god to form after fenrihar, created from ethel's tears. immediately after her formation she began to splash around in the water, creating large waves that started to drown the world. fenrihar was very much not happy about this, but nautilus was so much larger than him, so he couldn't stop his rampage with brute strength.
so instead he challenged him to a race, and nautilus being very cocky and brash and five minutes old, accepted the challenge. at first nautilus relied on the waves to give her speed, but this proved difficult once she got to parts of the land he hadn't drowned yet. after just a few laps nautilus was exhausted from dragging himself through the ground each time, and yielded, agreeing to stop flooding the world for fun and instead preside over the new ocean that had formed around the continent. nautilus's repeated laps had worn down the ground as well, leading to the massive river that splits the continent
viridian (name pending?): the deity of the wilds and humans. she's responsible for a lot of plants and animals and smaller deities, and humans! she loves hanging out with her kids, she will attend any festival in her honor and drink all of the alcohol (so usually a lot of alcohol is prepared when a festival is about her). she's generally benevolent at these parties, but she can be unforgiving when someone incites her wrath. she loves tricks and games and adventures though, she'll disguise herself as all sorts of things just to mess with mortals. she says she's just testing them, but it's clear sometimes that she's just bored and wants something exciting to do.
in the earlier eras of the world, viridian and fenrihar worked together closely, though a rift has grown between them ever since a massive conflict between dragon clans and a human kingdom lead to the near extinction of dragons, and the lifting of many landmasses in the sky for them to migrate to as a safe haven.
as of yet unnamed sleep deity: the god of the realm of sleep, as well as the realm itself. it's a manifestation of the dreaming minds of those asleep, and is the realm in closest "proximity" to the physical realm. the exact nature of its existence is a mystery even to the other gods, but it's considered llewenthe's child since it actually talks to her, and delivers messages for her to mortals through dreams. the other gods are uncomfortable with being in the sleep realm but sometimes need its help delivering messages as well.
i should probably stop here.. i want to get around to sharing a lot of the stuff in my mind about ethel eventually, like the magic system and certain moments of its history, certain characters, etc. it's a huge struggle to get that stuff out of my head and into words/images but, essentially: AAAGH!
it's also a bit of a struggle to generate new ideas and lore to make the world feel more.. concrete? because it seems that im particularly latched on to a few concepts that my brain likes. but i'll figure it out eventually lol, hopefully without having to uproot what ive already got since ive done that quite a few times already.
anyway !! thank you so much for your curiosity!! i did ramble a bit. and sorry if there are any typos or weird formatting or if the way i structure sentences might be odd, im on my phone which can be difficult to type with sometimes. im hoping i can write down and share more about ethel some time and in a more presentable format . my poor poor world in my brain that i need to explore more ...
#headworld: ethel#i don't remember if that's an actual tag i have or not#inbox#i have to start drawing more things about ethel so the information can be more digestible..#for now.. this messy waterfall of text 😅 that i may edit later for typos/wording. it's rather late currently 🌙#long post
