Sala, a cleric of Menura of Many Songs, a deity of imitations and art 🌙🦚

...unless it’s actually Eilir, fiancé of Deervale’s princess Aella, running from their arranged marriage.

#THANK you @thesnoodles and @fishsticxz for name suggestions #dnd #dungeons and dragons #Eilir #homebrew d&d #ttrpg #elf #cleric #I was really head empty with everything starting from basics so I rolled bunch of dice and ended up with 'elf' 'arranged marriage escape'#and 'trickery cleric' so Eilir is not actually a cleric but pretends to be one (he swapped roles with the actual og cleric #but when you are tricking people into thinking you are a trickery cleric it... might please the trickery god?#which makes you an actual trickery domain cleric

(Before I get to the description, thanks to everyone who included stuff that rogues do in the tags when you reblogged the poll post for this au- I've never played a rogue (my main for D&D is usually a cleric) so I benefited from y'all's excitement!)

@forduary week 4 Fantasy AU. Ford has returned home and he and Stan are their final forms. I don’t have too much plot dreamed up for this. I committed to Ford being a beardo pretty early though.

In this AU I envision that Stan and Ford never really argued or fought at any point, but they just kind of grew apart, since their interests are so different- like they were both in training and Ford probably traveled to go find a mage mentor and was away from home anyway, and Stan was in fighter training till he was like “heck with this Imma steal stuff instead”. And then when Ford disappeared for 30 years they were already apart so Stan was just like “dang sure haven’t seen Ford in a while wonder where he is” and maybe traveled around trying to find him. I did have the idea that they team up to fight some BigBad together, but in this AU I hadn't figured Bill. I figured maaaaybe Stan angered someone powerful enough that it would warrant Ford's wizardly powers. Maybe he goes on a quest? I do not have the answers. I just draw the pictures.

#What do you think the Mystery Shack equivalent would have been for this AU #what if it ended up being the exact same thing but with a different name #mystery hovel #murder hut would still work honestly #tower of perplexity #cave of wonders #o wait no that’s already a thing #fanart #stanley pines #gravity falls #forduary 2024 #stanford pines #dungeons dungeons and more dungeons #someone recommended trickery hut for the fantasy au mystery shack and i straight up guffawed

If I had real freedom of action in BG3

SPOILERS: Regarding Astarion's story

SRSLY, SPOILERS

ok.

We defeat Cazador. Convince Astarion NOT to do the ritual Astarion: goes to murder Cazador

Tav(Mai): Wait! STOP!

Astarion: what? no! you won't ROB ME OF THIS.

Mai: (Warlock with such high charisma and so many buffs that i could roll a 2 and still convince him)

Astarion: *Pissed, but stops* Mai: OK, Cazador. you have two options. A quick, painful death by Astarion literally stabbing the shit out of you here and now... OR, you allow Astarion to drink you blood.

Astarion/Cazador: What?! Mai: Look, you don't get stabbed to death, Astarion won't be your slave, and he won't live a spawn for the rest of eternity... sounds good to me, no?

Cazador: .... *Shit fuck piss. OK. well, eternity is a long time. I can get more spawn and try the ritual again, then kill the shit out of Astarion.* Fine. *To Astarion* You, my wandering little spawn, may have the unearned privilege of drinking my blood and becoming a vampire in your own right. Astarion: This is dangerous, you know. If we leave him alive, he'll just keep coming after us. He has resources and powers that even as a full vampire I will not have... yet. Mai: Yeah, I know. Do you trust me?

Astarion: ..... Fine. *goes behind Cazador. starts drinking* Cazador: That is enough, you need only a drop! Astarion: *Starts to move away*

Mai: No, Astarion *Evil grin* Drain him.

Cazador: WHAT! you said-

Mai: I said you'd not be *Stabbed to death* by Astarion. I never said he wouldn't drain you.

Astarion: *Voice muffled by blood and the whole biting Cazador thing* GODS, I love you. *drains Cazador* and then they lived happily ever after, and Astarion gets an enchanted ring that protects him from the sunlight, and eventually turns Mai and makes her a full vampire since the ritual didn't end up making him a total and utter assjackle.

for the record i don’t actually think it was athena who let echidna and the chimera into the temple because there’s a big difference between “the gods can do bad things and aren’t around but we are loyal to them because they protect us in their own way and are better than what the titans would be” and “my mother got slightly embarrassed by something my friend did so she actively allowed an ancient monster to kill us at twelve years old”

#pjo spoilers #pjo tv spoilers #writing this was difficult bc i genuinely couldn’t think up why they are loyal to the gods beyond ‘the titans are worse’#i just feel like this is more trickery by kronos or at least someone under his influence #annabeth’s bit where she tells percy he could still contact his dad??#come on that has to mean someone else could let them in #again. huge difference between ‘not providing help’ and ‘lifting an already existing barrier to let a monster onto sacred ground’#IMAGINE. LUKE REVEALS IT IN HIS ENDING SPEECH #if it was athena. that’s going right in luke’s burn book #but like a big difference between luke and annabeth is that the latter still has faith in her mum #i just feel that this is a bit far for that #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show

i need to write a proper backstory for my pathfinder character beyond the basic stuff laid out before the campaign started and answer dm questions about her... and i need to make a character for the new 5e campaign i'm in... busy busy...

#the new character takes priority since pachy already has Some stuff laid out and the stuff that isn't there isn't immediately necessary #hmm. the things i had kicking around in my head for new characters don't work for this campaign.#the things i wanted to try - i want to take another go at a changeling bard since i spent a lot of time on one years ago and didn't get to #play her... since i ended up having to dm that campaign.#and then i want to take another crack at a kalashtar and make another tempest cleric #maybe not the same character this time. vash wasn't weak by any means but certainly she could have had a better match #for the extremely tanky thing that she was built and played as #kalashtar i feel like would also be served by a more bard-y or rogue-y class... maybe a trickery cleric as well?#but i'm wanting to play a campaign-specific subclass cleric so that's not the right choice #personal

Angela in LC, consistently telling the manager that she felt trapped and helpless and considerably miserable working in LC because she is denied of her individuality and personal choice and personhood and is also denied of any meaningful interactions whether with the sephirot or her own creator, lc hokma saying that what they have done and are still doing toward Angela was inherently cruel, even A at some point knee down to apologize to Angela because he also recognized what he was doing to her is inherently cruel in one of the loop (day 40), Angela in the epilogue straight up saying that she felt abandoned since her birth to the end for nothing hence she wanted to live her own life now, the lines in the dark in between day 47-50 are literally her begging to be noticed one last time:

LC essayist: but we literally can't know Angela's personal motivation until ruina she has never once showed her motivation and she was supposed to be hated by the narrative always and forever in LC

#i think this is less the case of narrative trickery but more case of the fandom being blatantly misogynistic hope this help #also people dont know how to read #absurd with people saying that LC trying to tell us A is good because LC only worked because A is a horrible person #even in his narration he portrayed himself as some sort of monster #and every characters in LC have beef with him pre and even AFTER their personal suppressions #the only difference is that LC made clear that LC cycle is supppsed to be a symbolic cycle of A tried to escape being a harmful person #and kept fall back into pattern because of his uncertaincy and fear and many other things #people who are aware of the loop (Hokma Angela Binah) literally made this very obvious analog toward the players #and literally guys in his head that he must overcome all tell him that kept perpetuating the loop or destroy everything #would be the most comfortable and easy choice for him to make because changing is suffering changing is dying for them #and the reason why day 50 is GOOD is because it is when A decided to move pass those mindset and break the pattern once and for all #when lor binah said that ''the cycle was broken once'' and in the end lor Angela repeated day 50 to break her own cycle of misery #what do yall think it was suppposed to mean #i hate lc essayist i hate lc essayist

"...A Nomijan? Oh, wait. I think I've seen you with Niesal, before-- I recognize that mask. Nyl, right? It's good to see you again!"

"Mhm. I'd say the same to you, Qamis, but...I'm not sure if that feels right, considering the situation. So I'll just wish you luck and leave it at that, yeah?"

Qamis: A young Orunsi-- a race that hails from the realm of Semalis. Their skin is more alloy than organic, and as such is incredibly difficult to damage. Most Orunsi can also shift the "skin" on their arms and legs to different shapes to defend themselves with-- usually spines or blade-like additions, long, sharpened claws, or simply heavy plates to further power punches or kicks. Qamis favors the former two options. For the most part though, Qamis is a healer, and a prominent user of blood magic.

Immune to all poisons, venoms, and pestilences, aside from heavily acidic substances, which can melt away at, or burn his skin.

Vanyllo Paronis: Nomija like Nyl are related to merfolk, and generally live in the deepest depths of large bodies of water. Extremely sharp teeth, powerful tails (or legs when out of the water), venomous spines in various places over their bodies that can be retracted at will. Skilled at camouflaging techniques, as well as illusory techniques with their affinities to water and darkness. Nyl in particular also likes to trap his opponents in highly pressured bubbles of water, to inflict crushing damage.

On top of these things, Nyl has trained as an assassin his entire life, and thus has plenty of skills that lean heavily into that. Once he gets in close to his enemy though, his attacks are fast and brutal, though he tends to leave defense at the wayside, unless he takes a major hit.

#[Let's get it started -memes & games-]#(Some of you might notice that the bracket had Qamis and Luvi together and Nyl and Nesa together #but I didn't really feel like it would be quite right to have two side muses paired up right off the bat #so I just flipped a coin and ended up with this!)#(anyway this should be an interesting one #if only because their strengths and weaknesses balance each other out fairly evenly)#(...Nyl is also mean though and not above using trickery to win #while aside from the blood magic Qai is very...Paladin lmao)

#one of those tag things #rather glad it didn't end up being one of those long rambling sentences I have become rather given to these days #this is from the spooky story which has been in the works for the past few days and clarifies Nothing #hm perhaps I should draw something about it just for teasing and also designing purposes #tom I'm not sure if it will tag you properly on account of the trickery the website has once again pulled on you but I hope this works :|

"We have to defeat Dunstan!"

Garion's eyes slowly blink. He knows this song and dance.

It's like this, every time. If a timeline gets this far without an alteration, this is always where it leads. So few actually stayed on the straight and narrow good vs evil. Which makes sense, humans rarely, if ever, believe in a truly black and white.

He was lounged out on a low concrete wall, the good douji having their gathering in the small courtyard of the abandoned hospital.

He redirected his eyes from them, spinning his cane in his hand boredly. Trickery's parrot voice giggled, and spat out a mockery of them.

It incited anger in the young man who was the master of the Ultimate Good. Garion just kept quiet as his douji heckled Yamato.

"That's enough, Trickery." His voice is sharply stern, "Help me up." The mimic douji snapped his jaws shut, returning to his master's side. Garion holds an arm out and Trickery pulls him to his feet. His bad leg has gone weak, sitting on the hard surface, and he leans heavily on his cane. He knows the others have noticed his change in attitude, and doesn't plan to stick around long.

"Well, you all have fun on your wild goose hunt. I think I'd rather spend my time with more reasonable people." He put on a smile and waved a hand before beginning to walk away.

"It's the only way we can end this crap! Unless you have a better plan!"

Fury shoots through Garion and he has to stop himself, knuckles going white around the snake head of his cane. Trickery flicks his eyes between his master and Yamato. Garion takes a breath, steadying himself. As he turns around, the happy, nonchalant, almost dopey smile is back in his face.

"Oh, no, Mr. Yamato, don't mind me. You have your fun trying to defeat a man who's omnipresent and able to change timelines at will. You enjoy that. I'll simply have no part in it." He waves a hand dismissively. Though he can tell they know something deeper is in his words, he doesn't care. The deviation will soon tear them away from that plan entirely. It's only a matter of time.

He turns to continue down the road leading away from the hospital and back to his car. Trickery is skipping along beside him, giggling, "Dunstan makes you really mad, huh?"

"Yeah..." A sigh, "Yeah, he really does. Let's go check on Vice, hm? I wanna see how close he is to making Paresse snap now." He opens the driver's door and slips in.

"Oooouh, yeah!! Should be any time now." Trickery never opened the passenger door, but is sitting there beside him, phone open and clicking through texts, "The evil douji are meeting tonight, too!'

Garion makes a knowing hum, smiling to himself.

He liked these timelines.

#just a little garion drabble #tbh the more i write him the more im like 'fuck this is just Fussa' LMAOO #tho tbf hes a wee bit more unhinged #just wee bit #okay a lot bit #ress writes #garion dubois #the facility #trickery #talking about Dunstan is one of the few things that'll set Garion off #he is desperate to kill that man and end his tinkering in timelines so they can just deal with the mess that's already there #it's comparable to trying to clean up a messy room #but the kid who caused it is still throwing toys everywhere #except the kid is a grown man #and the mess is billions upon billions of timelines #and the grown man is powerful beyond comprehension

#bcs #better call saul #bcs spoilers #the way both jimmy and chuck really have that same kind of propensity for trickery/pulling a con on others for their own benefit #and the fact that in this particular instance the con is technically kept up until the present but at the end of the dinner #chuck makes himself look like an uber prick because he’ll DIE before he admits that hes sick #and the fact that jimmys main coping mechanism is to also have that guard up of normalcy and to act like hes fine #to avoid the vulnerability that comes with showing hes hurt.#but for both of them trying to act normal air quotes just makes them come off as more majadjusted and even mean….#they r secretly alike but in all the worst ways 💖#jimmy mcgill #saul goodman #chuck mcgill #had to remove the caption so this could appear in tags. ugh

what was robert smith's intention with "disintegration" huh? young suicide?

#chaos.txt #NOW THAT I KNOW IM BREAKING TO PIECES.

i’ll listen to your oc rambles 😁😁

you'll regret it but i'm gonna ramble anyway under read more lfjg;dlf TY YIN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES MEEEEE ILY <3333

i'm using this picrew rn bc ive never drawn a proper ref for my ocs so pls forgive me

the nerd with purple hair is rail; she's in her late twenties and used to be a researcher duo along with her sister (pink hair), stock whose main goal in life was to study indigenous cultures... emphasis on 'was' because, during one of their expeditions, they end up shipwrecked on an inhabited island, where rail and stock end up constantly fighting to the point it ruins them mentally. rail comes across the mirage-mirage fruit after several days of refusing to eat anything stock gives her as a grudge, and eats it -- however rather than giving her a boost in power, due to her wrecked mental state, the mirages/hallucinations she creates end up ruining her even more as she finds herself unable to control her hallucinations.

this ultimately is the catalyst that ruins her relationship with her sister stock as rail cannot control her power and how it ruins her, and rail's hallucinations affect stock, too. rail however is Batshit Insane and ends up delusional, esp when her devil fruit was working against her bc she didn't know how to control it AND was not in the right mind to control it

after barely surviving on the island, a marines ship passes nearby and stock screams after the marines to save them, which then ends up damaging her vocal cords so she has a very... peculiar raspy voice?? anyway they get rescued by the marines but stock fucking hates her sister now, so stock begs the marines to shackle rail with sea prism stone because rail would probably attempt to murder them because she was commanded to by the gods to do it (Mentol Iwness At Its Max)

the marines help them get back onto an island where they can recover, but stock is full of hatred for her sister who she refuses to even acknowledge they're related... but between stock and rail, stock is the one who's a teensy bit saner, so stock pretty much treats rail like a rabid dog rather than... a sister... it's kinda fucked up but they're both ill so pls don't think I'm glorifying abuse or smth?? sjdhask they're just both not mentally sane and my intentions are to write their relationship as unhealthy and not a good one, except both sides are in the wrong (stock is 70% in the wrong though)

stock and rail live in town together (stock works at a bar) except stock keeps rail shackled with sea prism stone at all times just to keep her power from harming stock, rail, and everyone in town. this is where it goes to shit bc stock brings home a girl to do the Y'know with but the girl finds rail with shackles around her ankles and gets her out bc she doesn't know why rail is being tied down

this pretty much unleashes rail's uncontrollable powers so she's at... like... mental illness Level 99999. stock, who finally thinks she's free from rail's hallucinations and awful delusions finally snaps and tries to uh... murder her sister. but she can't bring herself to take the life of someone, especially her own family so she just ties rail up and shoves her onto a boat into the ocean for her to sail until she dies

except rail doesn't die because stock fucking sucks at tying knots so rail ends up surviving on the sea by herself, completely alone with her delusions and her inability to control her power. she ends up using her hallucinations to make her tiny little dinghy boat seem like a warship/treasure-filled abandoned ship/etc etc and tricks other people on the sea so she can rob them, so that's how she essentially survives on the sea. however, no sane person has been able to withstand the horror of her delusional hallucinations which she doesn't control so basically everyone with her dies/escapes from insanity.

so basically the straw hats stop on the island stock lives in to stock up on food and they get along and blah blah straw hats go back onto the sea... except after a day of sailing, they come across rail's ship mirage and the straw hats find rail and bc luffy has 1 braincell in his head he doesn't even get affected by the hallucinations and they find rail who is... yeah... insane. very. basically rail tries to kill them because death is the only way to save everyone (she was told this by a neon pink octopus. knowing the op universe this could be real but for story's sake she's just insane)

they realize rail pretty much looks like stock and they get rail to tell them about her relation with stock, and... yeah... everything rail says is like 70% incoherent bullshit. this is getting too long so the tldr is that the straw hats send rail back home despite rail refusing to due to stock's treatment of her, and i haven't thought about it this far yet but stock and rail do not magically get cured of insanity and become besties again. it's gonna take years, hell even several centuries to fix the wounds they've given each other ... IM SORRY IT'S SO DARK DASDJFAL

oh and red hair is hira. she has daddy issues and her family is originally from alabasta. her bloodline has this weird tradition of feeding the solar-solar fruit to the youngest daughter of the generation, and she's eaten the fruit EXCEPT no one's ever told her that she ate a devil fruit so she just thinks her body is too stiff to swim in the sea and that everyone else has her powers. and the devil fruit's name might sound overpowered but it's basically just her physical strength + speed + pain insurance just being higher when she's out in the sun, and gets weaker when unable to absorb sunlight. if she chose to train the strongest she'd get is, like, being able to turn her skin burning-hot just like a solar panel by absorbing sunlight JDGJS

#yin im so sorry if this wasnt what u expected out of a one piece oc #to summarize: rail is insane. stock is horrible. hira is like most sane out of the three of them #i swear i'm not trying to glorify any unhealthy relationships they're both horrible to each other and are both in the wrong!!#good end rail is where she gets therapy and learns how to control her devil fruit powers and becomes a bad ass who masters in trickery #basically if she were sane she uses her powers to make hallucinations of bazookas n shit like usopp does w his 10 ton hammer #IM SORRY ILL SHUT UP... i talk too much #but ty yin ILYSMMMM THANK U FOR ASKING <33 #yin! ♡#うちの子
