One more for the night from whaleman Mr. Chappell. I always like entries that describe exactly what’s happening in the moment that they’re being written. It just grounds them more fully to a real time and place for me. 170 years ago some fellow just south of the equator was listening to a fiddle as he wrote in his journal.
“Friday January 21st
It is said that music hath power to sooth the savage breast and it is eaven so my ears is charmed with music at this time and it is with great difficulty that I can keep my thought upon my writing I never was so lucky as to get on board of a ship before that had any musicians before but now the Capt plays the fiddle and the 2nd Mate and one foremasthand besides the 2nd Mate playes on an Accordeon which is much better than a fiddle It all helps to pass of the time.”
Alright people! I wrote a Bartylus oneshot thing where they're outlaws in the desert and they rob gas stations. It's very southern gothic meets wild west and Orville Peck meets Robbers by the 1975.
You can read it on ao3 here if you want!
Very these vibes idk:
this was half a dare by @anauro and half bartylus brainrot 😭
I have a group of EO3 Ocs, they’re kinda like the pre-established guilds/ people in other EO games. But they act like… The guildmaster almost. (They used to work with him when he was a warrior actually.)
The monk I mentioned is one of them… Then I have a Hoplite, a Buccaneer, and a Shogun. I can’t say I won’t add more. I… Enjoy making op guildmaster level ocs with massive parallels to the main guild.
1 am brainrot
So far I’ve drawn 2 of them.
The other two, which I haven’t drawn yet… and probably have to go thru a training arc similar to my Ignis one to draw them oughh. I’m willing, but life….
Buccaneer, Hoplite, and Shogun were in the Armoroad army and marines. (I HC the guildmaster was too.) The monk??? He’s so much older than them, he knows Flowdia old. He helped out when he sensed things were “out of balance”.
They’d work together like a guild, they were unstoppable basically. Till something messed them up and they’re all doing their own things.
Guildmaster is well. Guildmaster.
The Hoplite has the most renown. She’s kinda a play on the Hoplite/ Ninja dodge tank build. She’s the town hero.
The Monk’s head priest at Armoroad’s monastery. He’s got the counter build. I’ve gotta fiddle around with it some more to see what else I could spice him up with.
Shogun is the only one who stayed in the army. Got to have his own special fleet. He is… a warrior’s might shogun. 🤪 But his team uses the ailment daggers, and eagle eye while he’s got access to wolf howl. They’re a real treat to play as. I have to talk about them later.
The Buccaneer is {REDACTED}
I played using the shogun today, wanted to see how his team would do… made me think about them. His old team that got separated for some reason. I always liked the concept of older characters parallels to the current main cast. They are that! So…
They are “minor” (I might be lying) characters in OoS. But still rather legendary, so nothing’s really spoilers.
A lot of people In story have heard about them so. Why not tell you 🫵?
I have to get up in 5 hours but somehow I just cant make myself go to sleep before 3am anymore like please just let me have one good night of sleep I'm talking 12 hours just dead to the world basically in coma I need to wake up with the sheets imprints on my arms and the feeling like I just had the most restful sleep of my life I'd pay so much money please. Please
