Marta - 11, 24, 33, 39, Kitti - 34, Ilka - 43

THANK YOU FREN

Marta:

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Getting pressured to marry Ludwig von Braumark. Every single day since she turned 18. Give it a rest, Mom and Dad. 24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?

“Other than absolutely gorgeous and ridiculously talented? So thoughtful. He laughs at all my jokes and has never once made fun of me for not knowing how to cook. And he’s so lovely to his sisters, which is maddeningly attractive...honestly, is there anything more charming than a man who’s good to children? Not to mention that in bed, he...oh, I really shouldn’t talk about that in mixed company, darling.”

33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?

The Burg Holstadt hedge maze, which is not only the largest hedge maze in Carinthia but has an extremely cool statue of the goddess Athena at the center.

39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?

Marta is pretty and rich and well-dressed, so people tend to assume she’s a bit frivolous and snooty. Both of which she can occasionally be, but it also overlooks how deeply, deeply chaotic she is.

Kitti:

34. Does your character have favorite foods? (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, etc)

Dad’s homemade goulash is the best food in the whole wide world. She’s also very keen on the marizpan animals Andras sends home occasionally as a treat. If Jozefa doesn’t eat them all first.

Ilka:

43. Does your character have a switch that changes aspects of their personality whether they are around friends, family, etc. Is there someone who gets to see their true self?

Around her employers, the Grubers (a bourgeois Austrian family living in Pest), Ilka is a very good, subservient employee who says “yes sir” and “no ma’am” and curtsies every other sentence.

At home, she and Jozefa have had a running argument for two years about whether that man they saw in the market was really the Prime Minister, which can get very heated. If that tells you anything.

Hi! I've just recently started following you (I've just started consuming CritRole as fast as I can besides uni) and what is your favourite type of warlock? (I'll play an Archfey warlock at the end of the month and super excited for it.)

Oh man, that’s exciting! Welcome to the party!

Archfey as patrons are actually my favorites, just because there’s so much potential there for that delightful combo of beautiful/awe-inspiring/terrifying that comes part and parcel with the word “fey”. I also love the notion of the Hexblade from Xanathar’s Guide (which is Fjord’s situation in CR), because sentient weapons? Yes please.

Hi, do you have any advice for this unable-to-make-decisions GoH newbie? I'm level 62 atm and just developed 7-star Luminara, and I can't decide what to invest in. (7-star Mace is almost there as well.) I want an actual squad (right now my A-team is Mace, Luminara, Tarkin, Chewie, Jedi Consular), which one do you recommend?

Hello there and Welcome to the Madness! We are super glad to have you with us on our long trek to Rancor/Tank/General Kenobi Domination!

First of all, Congratulations on getting 7* Luminara! YAAAAAY!

She’s fabulous and she stays fabulous for a good long while. She was my first 7* character and I still love her. She’s a character you can level up to a certain point and she stays competitive with everybody else for a good long time. Unlike some characters I am looking at you JK Anakin you pretty, squishy thing you she’s pretty good on her own and mods just make her even better.

Since your Arena team has three Jedi I’m going to make two Suggestion Lists, one based on what you’ve already got and can easily level up and then another Suggestion List based on what’s going to be easy and successful in the long run. I’m not super skilled and well versed in what’s Meta (i.e. what’s popular and super successful in the arena right now.) because I love my Jedi and Clone Sons too much.

But I will try to keep the Meta Game in mind so that later on you haven’t managed to craft some kind of Lovecraftian Horror Zeta Ewok Scout or whatever. XD

I’m also tagging my guild officer @silvergryphon, and my GOH sempai @gffa as well as anyone else who wants to join in the fun! @tygermama, @resistancepilots, @generallkenobi, @dendral, @teapirate, @loverofcake And anyone else who wants to help out and has Thoughts! XD

So without further ado… here’s my suggestions!

JEDI

Jedi are fun because they have lightsabers and do fun flippy things and also LIGHTSABERS ARE PLASMA CHAINSAWS! How is that not cool?

Easy Jedi to Farm

Ahsoka Tano - Hands down Ahsoka is one of the easiest Jedi to farm for. She shows up in the Cantina Store and she has two nodes where she can be found Dark Side 4-C and Light Side 5-D (which has come choice gear on it). Ahsoka can supplement healing for Luminara and she’s also a must have in Fleet Battles. She plays well with others and I’ve often won arena battles where I was down to her and Fives and they made hash of my opponents. Ahsoka is great in mid-game and an excellent addition to your Jedi team.

Ezra Bridger - After Ahsoka, Luminara and Mace, Ezra is probably the second easiest Jedi to farm for. He’s on a low Cantina Node (2-B) and he pops up in the Fleet Store with an annoying regularity. No, Game! I wanted Chirrut Shards! I don’t want Emo Blueberry Shards! Of the Phoenix Squad characters, he’s the one I kill first when I face a Phoenix team and he’s very useful wherever he goes. His bonus attacks can kill Baze and Fives and that takes some serious doing. He also has a ship (Phantom II) so that’s nice for your Fleet arena.

Kanan Jarrus - Okay so with Kanan you’re going to have to balance his availability with whoever else you’re going for in the Squad Arena store but he’s another useful Jedi who can taunt, add protection and debuff your characters. He’s not super easy to get but if you’re going to get the Phoenix Squad he’s tied for second place with Hera after Ezra.

Qui-Gon Jinn - *sighs* Get him. You’ll need him if you want to run a Jedi team. His leadership gives your team speed and he can call assists as well as debuffs. Don’t let my lackluster recommendation of everyone’s Neglectful Hippie Space Dad dissuade you. He’s useful and not hair-pullingly difficult to get.

Difficult to Farm but Worth It

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker - Oh my precious Rage Baby! So beautiful, so angry, so… squishy? If you’re going to have a Jedi team, you need to have Anakin on it. He does serious damage and he can also inflict healing and buff immunity for 2 turns. He plays very well with clones and Ahsoka. When Luminara gets her heal over time ability, that really helps shore Anakin up. He also has an AOE attack which I don’t think any other Jedi has. He’s only on four nodes (Dark Side 5-B, 7-D, Light Side 5-C and Cantina 7-G) so he’s not impossible to get I am looking at you Aayla Secura but he’s not easy either. Probably just the way Padme and Obi-Wan like it.

Barriss Offee - Eh. Get the murderous wench. She’s the best healer in the game, for a back-stabbing-jedi-turned-terrorist. Like Anakin, she’s not in a store but she’s got four nodes (Dark Side 5-C, 5-E, 8-A and Cantina 6-A). She’s a popular for Zeta when you get to that (and that is still a long ways off for you so don’t worry about it.)

So… uhmm… TL:DR

Ahsoka

Ezra/Qui-Gon

Whoever you didn’t go for last time in the Ezra/Qui-Gon mashup

Jedi Knight Anakin/Kanan Jarrus

Whoever you didn’t go for last time JK Anakin/Kanan Jarrus

Back-stabbin’ Barriss Offee

Holy Crap I went on forever! But onwards and upwards my dear! Here is part two!

REBELS

Because you will need Rebels to compete in all sorts of special events (Empire Themed events, Emperor Palpatine events, the new Territory battles) you are going to need Rebels.

The good news is THERE ARE LOTS OF REBELS. SO MANY REBELS. LIKE MORE THAN WE NEED AND I AM AN AVOWED DISLIKER OF THE SITH/EMPIRE/FIRST ORDER CHARACTERS.

Right now your Squad Arena team is tilted in the direction of Jedi which is fine! I have had my butt handed to me by many a Jedi team before. I swear to the Force Yoda if you don’t leave my precious Wedge alone I am going to reach through the screen and strangle you! But a Rebels team is pretty much required to advance in the game and EA has given you a MYRIAD of options to chose from.

Which brings me to… Easy to Farm Rebels

Biggs Darklighter - Popular recently is a combination of Wiggs (Wedge Antilles + Biggs Darklighter) and Chaze (Chirrut Imwe + Baze Malbus). Now here’s a thing, or two, you need to know about these two combos.

It’s REALLY effective.

It’s kind of a pain in the ass to get.

The good news for you is that Biggs Darklighter is not only in the Galactic War Store (where if you defeat the table you have a chance to purchase up to 15 of his shards a day!) but he’s also located on Cantina Node 3-G and Dark Side Node 4-A. Biggs also has an X-Wing that taunts (I LOVE YOU, BIGGS) and he has amazing synergy with Wedge Antilles. If you can get an omega mat on his Comrade-in-Arms Super-Mega-Killshot attack, he can perform that every other turn. WHICH IS SO AMAZING.

SO.

AMAZING.

So I highly recommend Biggs. Even if you don’t want to run a Rebels squad right now, he is worth it for his ship and that Comrade-in-Arms ability.

Stormtrooper Han Solo - ST Han Solo has the advantage of being both a Rebel and a Scoundrel, which are ANNOYINGLY important in this game. It may not seem like it now but trust me, when you start Mod farming, you are going to need those credit heists desperately. Where is my Dave Chapelle Meme with the white powdery lips and “Y’all got any more of ‘dem Credit Heists?” ST Han is in the same boat as Kanan Jarrus as he’s only available in the Squad Arena store so if you have to pick between the two, go for ST Han while you’re going after Jedi elsewhere.

ST Han can taunt and his taunt is particularly insidious because every time he takes a hit, his allies gain turn meter. I’ve seen him work well with all sorts of teams and I’ve seen him in the top level squads as well.

Princess Leia - Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess of Alderaan is a beast. On top of her stealth move (which apparently can cleanse some debuffs. *o*) her basic attack “Hair Trigger” allows her fire up to three times in one attack. Remember when I mentioned that Phoenix squad earlier? About the only person I have that is really capable of taking them down to size is Princess Leia. (And Fives, because Fives is indestructible.) She’s also an excellent counter to Grumpy Secessionist Grandpa Count Dooku. She got reworked when they introduced Commander Luke Skywalker so she should be even better now!

Sadly, Our Lady of Sass and Cinnamon Rolls is only located in the Squad Arena store so you’ll have to juggle her against everybody else. I’ve also heard she’s great against Part 4 of the Tank Raid and works well with a team of Clones to form the fantastic portmanteaux of Princess Zody (Princess Leia + Zeta Cody).

Last but most definitely not least is the Baron Administrator of Cloud City…

Lando Calrissian - To call Lando easy to farm is kind of misnomer. He only shows up on two Cantina nodes (1-E and 5-F and for me 5-F had a better drop rate than 1-E) but he’s on Cantina nodes and if you chose to use your crystals that way, you can get probably four to five shards a day for him as opposed to the limits placed on Light Side and Dark Side Battles. I have gotten more but that wasn’t until I opened up 5-F.

Lando is, to put it bluntly, a stone cold mass murderer. Sure he looks all suave and charming and you think, “That man in the open neck blue shirt and that disco-tastic seventies gold lined cape looks charming and harmless! I’ll leave him alone and concentrate my forward power on Darth Vader or Jedi Knight Anakin or something like that.

And then two, maybe three, Lando turns later you’re dead, your party is dead. Your neighbor is dead. EVERYONE IS DEAD.

Not only does Lando have great leadership and a pretty good basic attack, his AOE attack will slaughter YOUR WHOLE TEAM. ALL OF THEM. I’ve seen my Lando take out an entire teams protection in one go! POOF! GONE. ALL OF IT. And then? If he scores a critical hit? (which he does with terrifying regularity when he’s on the opposing team) HIS COOL DOWN RESETS AND YOU ARE DOOMED TO BE PERFORATED BY BLASTER FIRE YET AGAIN.

See? Lando Calrissian: Stone Cold Mass Murderer.

If Lando is paired up with Admiral Ackbar and Ackbar uses his Tactical Genius before Lando, you can perform his ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT OF DOOM TWICE IN A ROW. Lando is the Dread Pirate Roberts of Galaxy of Heroes.

There will be no survivors.

Not only does Lando work great with your Rebels but like ST Han he’s a Scoundrel too so he’ll play well with a Scoundrel team in Credit and Droid Heists.

TL;DR

Biggs Darklighter

Stormtrooper Han Solo

Lando Calrissian

Princess Leia

And then maybe Admiral Ackbar for cleansing and assisting Lando in his mass slaughter of your opponents.

I hope that was helpful, my dear! I wish you all the best in your galactic conquest! Have a great Wednesday and may the Force and RNGeezus be with you!

17, 14, 38, 12 for writing asks!

Thank you! 💕 And points to you for picking ones that no one else hit yet!

17. Past or present tense? Why?

Past tense! Um....I'm not sure why, exactly, other than that is how most of the books I grew up reading are written and how I was taught to write. It's also easier to keep track of, I suppose.

I did write a few snippets of my Helen/Ranna fic in present tense and I have no clue why and am on the fence about switching it up.

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

Oh my gosh, first sentence is only surpassed by last in terms of difficulty. *tries to come up with an idea I'm not already saving*

The days had all been gray and dreary for beyond memory now, as if something in the universe understood that the world as it existed now no longer deserved sunshine and blue skies.

38. "This never happened" fix-it fics or "this happened but" fix-it fics?

"this happened but". I don't think I've read a lot of fix-it fics at all, to be honest. Or not ones that I realized were fix-it. But I like the 'but', because yes, this huge, altering thing happened but maybe a character responded to it differently. Maybe someone else was there. Maybe they let themselves be vulnerable.

but is far more compelling than never to me.

12. If you write in more than one language, what's the difference?

Sadly, I only know English and haven't had the opportunity to learn anything else, though I'd like to. And it would be great to be fluent enough to write in another language.

#romanaisalive #thanks for the ask!#ask answered #my writing #tagging so i can find that sentence again

8, 34, 98, 43 for spotify wrapped

8. Buckets of Blood - The Great Malarkey it's the slightly obsessive undertones in here that's really doing it for me here and also the absolutely out of nowhere buckets of blood. why are there buckets of blood. at the sime time i absolutely get it. buckets of blood indeed.

34. Light Trap - Platon Karataev hungarian musician represent wohooo. my beloved sent me this one with the comment "strahd?" and it pissed me off so much. because yes yes it fits it fits. ugh. god damn. (had to realize just now that it's not actually on his list oops. i forgor 💀) one of these days i will put together that "strahd/tatyana (strahd pov)" playlist. should wait w it until we are done because the psychic damage would kill me instantly

98. Dark Science - Coyote Kid i am glad it's this song that made it from the tulys playlist because some of the rest would have made this top100 into a game of russian roulette. i also see some ppl put this on the abbot's playlist and i can't argue with it tbh. also, fun fact for you, specifically; this singer's voice is kind of how i picture tulys's voice. probably because

43. Untitled - stillsunrise again zero story here i just like this one. another one of those sweet tune dark songs that i so enjoy. i think the decemberists really captured the vibe i like in my music with the phrase "singalong suicide song" - and i don't think this is quite that but i also don't think it's not that. either way, vibe.

thankyouu for the numbers 🫀

#ask #romanaisalive #for everyone else. tulys is a / the villain of my homebrew dnd campaign #her deal in short is that she was an immortal dragon then shit hit the fan and she is no longer immortal and is extremely pissed about it #and she is trying to science and magic her way back to immortality at the price of many many many lives #i really popped off w her vibe tbh if i may say so myself

I'm pretty sure Tevos is like... 180cm tall. At least. Shep has to figure out the logistics of carrying her bc she didn't consider that factor.

Yeah that sounds about right! She tall and majestic and regal and just...ugh so damn perfect.

Lmfao tho! Yep!! At least Shep is quite strategic/analytical when the need is there and shit so she calculated way before which angle to go about it and how to ensure this goddess councilor gets carried like the fabulous asari that she is.

Didn't even listen the first time Tevos spoke because Shep was too busy admiring this stunning asari while doing calculations in her head to figure out how to go about carrying her and stuff.

I mean...lifting her up onto the desk is easy enough tho so...ya know...

Oh, that's awesome! I'm hungarian, so if you want something translated or the like for your story I'd be happy to help. :) Also, hmm... fic ramblings, Maglor and Galadriel?

Yassss thank you. I have a lot more funny stories about visiting Hungary but I’ll save those for later. For now, here’s Mags and Galadriel in the Guess Who’s Coming to Mordor au, being passive-aggressive divas.

“You seem to have done fairly well for yourself, old girl,” Maglor remarked, glancing admiringly around the airy sitting room. “I suppose that’s one good thing about marrying a Sindarin prince, they do know their way around a tree.” Galadriel scowled at him, and Maglor rolled his eyes. “Oh come now, Artanis, you know I’m joking.”

“It’s Galadriel now, as I have explained many times. And I assure you Celeborn is an excellent husband and leader in every measurable way.”

“And yet I’m afraid that to me you will always be my baby cousin Artanis. Odd to think of you being married. And being a mother, at that.”

Galadriel’s shoulders stiffened. “Yes, well. I can’t say I feel like much of a mother these days.”

“Oh, Artanis...Galadriel. I’m sorry,” Maglor said, voice softer this time. “I did hear about what happened to your poor daughter. It’s not something any parent should have to go through. I remember, when Elrond and Elros left...”

“Stop,” Galadriel said. “Just stop. Are you trying to pretend you understand? That you know what it’s like to lose a child? Elrond and Elros weren’t yours, they were two lost children you kidnapped and used as political pawns. Celebrian is my daughter, my flesh and blood, and now who knows when I will be able to see her again? Don’t pretend you know a mother’s pain, Maglor. You never will.”

Maglor sighed heavily. “No. In a way I suppose you’re right. The twins weren’t mine, and the circumstances in which they came into my life were...less than ideal. But I loved them nonetheless. I still do. And it hurt like hell to give them up, Artanis, even if it was what was best for them.”

“Best for them...” Galadriel repeated quietly. “Yes. It was best for Celebrian, too. And yet I won’t feel complete until we are a family again.”

“I feel exactly the same. I’ve been on my own for far too long, I would love to have a family again.” Maglor looked up at her, hopefully. “I hope I can be part of yours again, someday.”

“Hmph.” Galadriel lifted her chin and looked at him appraisingly. “Destroy Sauron first, my dear cousin. Then we’ll talk.”

Skitz - When the Darkness Comes

(Dark Skitz Inhuman AU)

“You’re crazy if you think you can stop us now,” Ward sneered.

“And you’re crazier if you think you can beat us,” Fitz snarled back, stepping forward. “We’re part of a new age, Ward. A better one that you will not live to see.”

Skye smiled over at Fitz. Ever since he’d undergone his terrigenesis, he’d grown more confident in himself. Nothing seemed to phase him. Then again, with the power to control time at his fingertips. one didn’t really need to be afraid of a lot.

Now, Fitz raised his hand. Skye watched as his irises grew a brighter silver. In front of them, Ward began to age rapidly. His dark hair turned to gray and then to white. Wrinkles grew deep into his face. The hands holding the gun began to tremble. The mighty Grant Ward, head of Hydra, was now an old man struggling to breathe.

Skye’s smile grew wider. Revenge felt good.

But Ward’s eyes darkened one last time as his finger squeezed the trigger of the gun. Fitz was so focused on aging the other man that he didn’t notice it. The shot echoed in the cavern they were in, and the male Inhuman dropped like a stone. Skye screamed as he fell.

“Gotcha,” Ward rasped.

Skye whirled towards the frail body of her enemy and let loose a vibration. She could hear his bones crack as it hit him. He crumpled to the ground, choking for air. Then she turned her attention back to Fitz.

“No,” she murmured, dropping down beside him. “No, no, no…”

Fitz’s eyes stared emptily at her. A hole was now in his forehead, blood leaking down along his nose. It was too late for this to be reversed now by his powers. He was gone.

Skye sobbed and pulled him close to her. He’d been the closest person she’d had since her transformation. When he gained his powers, their bond had strengthened. Together, they were so much more. Leaders, fighters, lovers. Now, it felt like a part of her had died.

She pressed a kiss to Fitz’s lips. “I’m sorry.”

It had been her idea in the first place to destroy the Hydra base. They knew Ward would be there, and she wouldn’t miss another chance for revenge against him. But now Fitz was dead because of it and the base was still standing.

Closing her eyes, Skye channeled every ounce of her abilities outward. She didn’t even bother to run away. Instead, she held Fitz in her arms and closed her eyes. Above her, the ceiling began to crack.

When it gave way, the earthshaker was buried beneath it, still gripping the man she loved.
