LMGTS: Xianxia leads to another

Quest master: Here's a quest set in a cultivation/xianxia universe, blatantly inspired by Will Wright's Cradle Series. Me: Oh, that's nice. QM: Everyone talks in funny ways, because this quest is set in another world entirely, one based heavily on Chinese media. Me: Mmm-hm.

QM: Also, here's one of my main characters talking about "punching down" in the negative.

Me:

This particular forum happens to be very, very progressive. And the character in question came from an under-privileged background, and is quoting his former master, a storyteller.

And that master said a certain story wasn't good because it's just about a trickster hurting people who can't hurt him back, even though the story is popular.

Sure, the character is mocking and quoting his ex-master, but that phrasing still shouldn't be there.

An Analysis of Percy/Annabeth's Life Aspirations

What do you think Percy/Annabeth would look like as adults?Let's look at their ambitions and ideas of what their "ideal" life as an adult looks like.

Let's break down what Annabeth and Percy's characterizations and what they actually want to do with their lives:

Annabeth.

Annabeth's has always wanted to be a hero. She loves going on quests, gaining glory and being victorious. She's Athena's daughter; she welcomes the challenge and revels in the victory. All throughout PJO we see Annabeth being one of the main driving forces pulling Percy into the greek world. She's never going to want to stop. We see this many times after PJO, when Jason asked Annabeth to go with him, the only reason why she said no was because she was looking for Percy. Right after the Titan War ended and they got the new great prophecy, Annabeth was immediately on it and trying to figure out what it meant. She wanted to be part of it.

As long as Annabeth lives, she'll want to go on quests. This is how Athena (via imposing expectations at a distance) and Chiron raised her. This is what she wants. This is who she is, as a person.

Percy.

Percy has never wanted to be a hero. He never wanted to be a half blood (it's literally the first line of the first book, written in Percy's voice at 19 years old). After the Titan War, he tells the reader that he's done with quests, with the war, with prophecies. He hears the next great prophecy and says "that's a problem for future generations." He leaves camp half blood and doesn't look back, instead planning a normal, human life in Manhattan.

Of course that's ruined by Hera's kidnapping but what's interesting about that second great prophecy is that all the seven demigods chose to be part of it aside from Percy. Percy was dumped in NR and was on a quest the very next day. When he gets back to NR, a few days later the Argo II arrives and Percy is forced to flee on the boat as one of the seven. He spends the rest of the quest missing his mom, eating blue food and questioning if he's actually going to survive and return home. He's not in it for the glory, or for the gods. He was quite literally brainwashed and manipulated by Hera and the others into going. His mental state got so bad that he attempted suicide mid-quest.

To remind everyone: Percy wasn't raised a hero. Sally went to great lengths to keep Percy away from camp half blood until the last possible moment. After a single summer, she asks him to return home, and he does everytime. Yes, he loves camp, but his home is in the mortal world. He has only spent about 4 summers at camp/on quests: that's 8 months total. After finding out his parentage, Percy chose to spent roughly 3 years and 4 months in the mortal world and 8 months in the greek world. He has a clear preference.

To summarize:

Annabeth wants to spend her life going on quests, going on quests and getting challenges and glory. Percy does not want to go on any more quests - he wants to settle down with a family in the mortal world (Manhattan) and live as peacefully as he can.

See the conflict there? They want the exact opposite thing.

This becomes very evident in cotg. Percy is pulled into yet another quest - he needs recommendation letters from the gods to go to New Rome University.

What's interesting about this is that Percy doesn't actually want to go to school. It's literally the first page of the book, he's asking Poseidon to write him a letter excusing him from school. He doesnt even know what he wants to study. He hasnt even looked at New Rome's programs (from what I remember).

So why does he want to go?

Annabeth. She is the only thing pushing him to go. Percy has a good life in Manhattan - his family is there: his mom, Paul, his little soon to be little sister (and Percy clearly states that he wants to be there to see her grow up - starting with changing diapers) and camp half blood. It's where he wants to be. Percy just got back from a severely traumatic year - being kidnapped, in a coma, falling into hell and fighting another war. His mental state was so bad he attempted suicide. He's tired. He finally got back to his safe space, his home, his mom (please remember this boy just turned 17 years old - he still desperately needs his mother). Its less than 2 months and Annabeth is already urging him to go on more quests to go to New Rome with her.

Remember what we just established about their characterizations? Annabeth will never stop wanting to go on quests, and will thrive in the mythology world while Percy wants to stay in Manhattan in the mortal world and do no quests? Yeah. Prime example right there in cotg.

So Percy goes to NRU for Annabeth. It's not what he wants - not the lifestyle he wants, but he loves her and the idea of losing her terrifies him so much that he'd rather go to hell than see her die so he goes.

But eventually his other desires for a normal peaceful life will catch up with him. Annabeth will inevitably be offered another quest, and she'll say yes so Percy will say yes to keep her safe and he'll constantly be doing exactly what he doesn't want to do: more quests. More fighting. More killing. More doing the gods' dirty work. And eventually, it will make him miserable. Maybe to the point of suicide again.

So one of two things will happen:

One: Percy says nothing. Doesn't tell Annabeth how he feels (which he doesnt do at all in PJO, HoO), and runs himself into the ground and maybe attempts suicide again. Maybe he succeeds this time. Maybe he doesn't. But it's a miserable life that - other than having Annabeth - he doesn't want. Has never wanted.

Two: Percy stands up for himself and tells Annabeth that he doesn't want to do anymore quests, that he's done doing shit for the gods. However, Percy would never be okay letting Annabeth go on quest without him watching his back, so this would turn into Percy asking Annabeth to stop going on quests, stop doing things for the gods and to stop seeking challenges and pride. I don't know if Annabeth would ever agree to that, but even if she does it's just a bad because now she's giving up her dreams, her life for Percy. She'd be miserable.

Its a lose-lose situation. Neither of them will be happy together long-term. They want the opposite things. Their dreams and aspirations are directly opposites. They don't make a good long term couple. They shouldn't be together post-war, as adults.

Thank you for sticking around to the end of my TED-talk.

...

This post was inspired by cotg and a post I've seen floating around saying that Percy is perfect for Annabeth because she's ambitious and he has no ambitions and I hate it. It's a bad take imo that doesn't actually account for their actual characterizations and ambitions- only a romantized version that hides percabeth's flaws.

Free the artist quest

basically turned Shadowheart into an exorcist by removing curses. Tedious.

After the task and claiming my reward, I decided to swap my tav with Astarion thinking he needs a self portrait cause he has no reflection. Oskar did the same dialogue and gave me a painting.

Then I tried using my Tav again to chat with Oskar. He offered the same reward. So the next step I did was bring everyone, even the hirelings. So I had a total of 14 paintings worth 1,500 gold each. I just need to find shops that have enough gold to buy.

The portraits we're all blank. Even if I dropped them on the floor at camp

I could write essays on how much I adore uquiz as a medium for interactive storytelling, but the best form of explanation is often example so please enjoy my long (genuinely, it's enormous) and slightly pretentious (sorry), uquiz about going on a Completely Normal Quest!!!!

tw: minor gore, being buried alive, psychological horror

If you do complete The Quest, tag yourself with your result!!

More Kobold Enrichment Tips:

(Check out the last post about kobold enrichment!)

Kobolds are often quite adventurous, and a good quest can act like a tasty spice that makes even the most mundane Monday something new and exciting! Consider putting up a quest board in your den that your kobold(s) can interact with when they're craving some quest time! Quests can be things like fetching items, discovering new locations, learning new things, or other things your 'bold may enjoy --there's plenty of room to be creative here!

Rewards for each quest can add to this even more! You might even be able to get away with sneaking a few household chores on the quest board too if you do! ✨🥰✨

“For months now, Zeus and Poseidon have been locked in a dispute over the master bolt. The symbol of Zeus’s authority, and it has been stolen.”

“Who stole it?”

“You did.”

“What?”

“Zeus is looking for a thief, sees a forbidden child claimed by his jealous brother… it doesn’t look good for you, kid.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Of course, you didn’t. But your father needs you help. An ultimatum has been given to him by Zeus that if he doesn’t return the bolt by the summer solstice in one week…there will be war. That is your quest. You must leave immediately.”

“Leave? Leave for where?”

“Zeus is king on Olympus and Poseidon has always resented it, but there is a third brother who has always deeply resented them both.”

“It’s Hades.”

“Yes.”

“The bolt is with Hades. In the Underworld.”

“I know it sounds daunting. But you won’t be alone, a quest is always undertaken by three.”

“Great. Good luck finding those guys, cause it ain’t gonna be be.”

“Poseidon has claimed you. This is his will.”

“Poseidon had ignored me my entire life.”

“You are his son.”

“I am Sally Jackson’s son.”

“Who’s Sally Jackson?”

“She’s the one who cared enough to call herself my mother. She’s the one who got herself killed, so that I could be safe here.”

“The fate of the world hangs in the balance. You will accept this quest!”

“I won’t!”

“You—-“

“Hey, everybody.”

“Grover, now is not the time.”

“I’m sorry, sir. But I have news.”

“Grover…”

“Sally Jackson is alive. It looked like she died, but it only looked that way.”

“Grover.”

“Your mother was stolen….by Hades. Which means she’s with him now, in the Underworld. That’s where they want you to go too, isn’t it? If you can find her there I think you can bring her back.”

“When do we leave?”

( @futuristicheroine )

A short girl with green hair in an Uva Academy uniform walks up to Lark. She definitely has a subtle uncanny valley effect - her neon pink eyes are unexpressive, and her voice/tone is flat. Not only that, but she also seems awfully calm for the situation.

"Hey, some of my classmates are saying there's a future Paradox on campus. I don't believe them, but it might be a good idea to check anyways."

She doesn't explain further and then hurries back to class with an almost unnatural speed.

"What? Wait-" Lark tries to rush after the girl. "What paradox? Where?" But she's unusually fast. He's not sure he can catch up to her unless she stops.

He hasn't even gotten her name. But whoever she was, she did the right thing: she heard there was a paradox pokemon, she reported it to the nearest ranger. As much as Lark would have liked more detail, it was enough to know what his job was in this context.

He fires off a text message to the operator via styler. Quest: Paradox rumored on Uva campus. Looking into it.

He'd have to write up a more formal report later, but for now it was enough for the base to know what he was doing. He makes his way toward the Academy, following the direction the girl had run off to.
