Curse of Strahd crew has been busy! Sadly my husband and I had to miss a session, but that's ok there were plenty of adventures:

Izel and Maverick, with Bluto, went back to lake Zarovich to do their druid shit and help ensure there wouldn't be repercussions from the Mad Mage killing all the fish. Vol came along to swim.

The rest of the crew were rousted into saving Milivoj and his young sibling from the werewolves we have very much been ignoring up to this point (hey they weren't bothering anyone... yet.) The werewolf posse rolled out.

Garland made the encounter VERY SHORT by making quick work of the werewolves' fascist leader (lucky rolls.)

Mortimer got in touch with his inner horsegirl (tm) after many poor animal handling checks in the past.

He also managed to save Milivoj through MORE lucky rolls.

After that was wrapped the crew checked in on them back in Valaki and someone needs to give Milan a kid.

Pazuzu 2.0 has been busy in Valaki making every possible thing he can in his quest for masterworks, including candles that burn underwater and a spice pouch that's extra good - in addition to the usual potions and trinkets.

As we ready ourselves to approach the Amber Temple we sent Motherfuckin' Mordenkainen a missive, given that we DID save him from madness. He has personal investment in this as he still hasn't found his staff (lol.)

Invited into his magical mansion, the crew all throughly enjoyed their dinner as brought to them by magical servants. Vol in particular had a wonderful time, ordering food all night, much of which they can't get in Zarovia. The orders from the others were:

A huge cut of prime rib for Garland (who is from Faerûn and misses beef - which is scarce in Zarovia.)

Frozen chocolate covered banana slices for Osry (who is from ??? and wanted something they've not had in a long time.)

A beautiful Honey Cake for Irina (Zarovia native).

Sashimi for Izel (originally from Ravnica) who just likes an excuse to eat a fuckton of perfect delicious raw fish (there was even wasabi! Real wasabi!)

A bowl of communion wafers for Mortimer. Man has issues.

Something elven and unpronouncable for Kasimir.

Milan (native to Zarovia), when confronted with choice, got lost, so Vol (originally from Ravnica, hence their continental order) insisted he have a hamburger.

"I've been meaning to do a post of this for a while, but it was still difficult since I still had hope and I didn't want to surrender.

I can't find any words to thank you for all the love you've given to Onyx Equinox. Even with 3 years with no announcement for a second season. But I think it's time to tell you that it won't be possible do to many reasons outside of my power.

Crunchyr*ll studio shutdown a few years after Sony's acquisition. And I have no power on the series. I wanted to give you music but it couldn't be. Also a comic. It's sad, but that's how the industry works. I still want to to give you details about how the series would move forward- and like that give some sort of conclusion to y'all.

Alas. I feel fortunate for having the opportunity to tell the story of Onyx Equinox as my debut as a showrunner. I hope OE inspires you to make your own stories! Keep supporting other mexican creators and help yourselves.

Again, thank you si much for all the support. We'll see each other again soon with a new story that I hope you'll like 💖

Sofi"

Sofia Alexander officially confirms that a second season -or any sort of continuation- of Onyx Equinox won't happen.

Marvel has already done a much better Secret Invasion TV series, and it's called Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Take To the Skies

Holy shit! My first fanfic on Tumblr!? And it’s Onyx Equinox related!? You bet it is, and YOU BET IT IS!!! (Heh, heh ... bet? Get it!?)

Word count: 1521 (😨)

“I love you, Izel. It’s okay. Be br—”

Before she could finish her words of reassurance, a warm feeling instantly emanated from her throat and quickly flowed down her chest as a profuse stream of blood ran down from where the obsidian knife slashed across her neck. No pain, no haunting gurgling; just darkness and an almost complete silence, were it not for the light breeze blowing west and the steady drops of blood pooling between her feet. Seconds ago, she was standing; as the supportive hand of the priest drew away, Nelli’s body fell backwards, and her descent down the cenote began. Her headdress, with its elegant streams of quetzal feathers dancing wildly as she fell, soon came off of her head entirely just before her body made contact with the groundwater in a loud splash echoing throughout the sinkhole. From a fast-paced descent to a slow, cradling slump, Nelli’s body unhurriedly lowers towards the large, glowing gate to the Underworld hidden deep within the cenote’s waters.

A bright flash of white shines as Nelli’s body crosses the gate. Seconds later, she finds herself seemingly alive, standing on the edge of a dense jungle. Ahead of her is a small, yet foreboding range of limestone mountains, the sun’s rays shining behind them just as they were as the star ascended in the mere final minutes Nelli had in Uxmal. The ground ahead of her is reminiscent of xeric shrubland, occasionally dotted with palo verde trees colored with their typical yellow-orange flowers. She looks down upon herself—the elaborate sacrificial attire no longer drenched in her own blood; her feet, hands, collarbone, and parts of her face still painted in bright Mayan blue; her headdress firmly in place atop her head.

“What is going—”

A gust of wind blows behind her. Nelli braces herself momentarily, closing her eyes before they snap open at the sound of a loud roar coming from above. She can only stand in awe as her eyes widen upon seeing an enormous teal and red serpentine-like creature weave though the sky, its flowing scarlet mane of fur-like feathers trailing along its back as the creature flies to the peak of the tallest mountain centered among the range. One thing comes after another, and a large flock of macaws emerge from the jungle and fly above Nelli, calling as they too, fly towards the mountain range, some scattering to different peaks, while others make a beeline towards the centermost peak. The wind settles slightly, and after a momentary pause to collect what she just witnessed, Nelli finds herself staring at the most prominent peak of the mountain range, entranced. Wordlessly, she finds herself walking towards the peak, almost as if something is drawing her in. As she moves, an occasional rattlesnake either retreats into its burrow, or silently gazes as she walks by. Passing by a tree every once in a while, butterflies flit around the flowers, some coming close to her face, to which she smiles warmly. Eventually, she finds herself at the base of the mountain, and a smooth, almost frequently treaded path weaves its way up the peak. Wordlessly, she begins her ascent. Nelli takes her time climbing, and despite the growing elevation, she doesn’t find herself needing to catch her breath or take a momentary pause.

Many hours pass, but eventually, Nelli reaches the summit. She gazes at the horizon from which her journey began, the jungle’s green expanse contrasting with the somewhat drab shrubland sandwiched between it and the mountain range.

“Well … I’m glad to see you’ve finally arrived.”

At this, Nelli turns around and widens her eyes. Sitting upon a marble throne—painted in a range of red and green paints, armrests stylized as feathered serpent heads, and a top adorned in intricately carved marble quetzal feathers—is Quetzalcoatl. Appearing in his King Form, he resembles a youth with white hair and yellow eyes, wearing an ornate headdress and red beak mask. Yellow face paint runs vertically down his face surrounding his eyes, a bisected conch shell hangs against his chest, and his shoulders are covered by a green serpent, whose body trails down the god’s back into a train of dark green feathers. Resting on his left hand is a macaw casually preening itself, which the god lightly moves to one of the trees bordering his throne, raising his hand high enough for the tropical bird to reach.

“I must say, you look elegant. Then again, a noble and willing sacrifice such as yourself deserves especially ornate attire.”

“Quetzalcoatl!” Nelli exclaims before quickly but respectfully bowing on her knees. The god chuckles slightly.

“Now, now … no need to be so formal. You can stand.”

Nelli hesitates for a moment before slowly rising back to her feet.

“You chose me?” Nelli inquires.

“Are you surprised? Why, I figured your attire would give you as much of a hint. Your willingness to sacrifice yourself in place of your brother was an incredibly noble act. Not just any god could take such a willing sacrifice.”

“But you’re opposed to human sacrifice. Why would you want me?”

At this, Quetzalcoatl pauses momentarily, staring intently at Nelli.

“… Because I need your assistance to help me save humanity.”

Nelli’s eyes widen slightly and her mouth drops open a bit.

“… What?”

“I’m sure you heard about what happened at Dani Baán.”

Quetzalcoatl pauses for a moment and chuckles slightly.

“Well, of course you did. Otherwise, why would you have been sacrificed, besides taking the place of your brother? Anyway, Mictlantechutli shamelessly began a holy war by abducting Dani Baán due to the ongoing blood drought; though, I know this isn’t the only reason for the destruction of the city. In due time, I shall tell you what I know.”

Nelli furrows her brow slightly, but continues listening intently.

“Tezcatlipoca believes the constant wars and infighting taking place among humanity have spilled wasted blood which could otherwise feed us gods. He intends on starting the world anew at the equinox. I believe your kind is worth preserving. So, I have chosen your brother to close the five gates of the Underworld.”

“Izel? But he’s never fought anyone, let alone traveled great distances without me. How is he even supposed to find the gates to the Underworld!? And even if he does find them, can he even do this—close five gates and save humanity—on his own!?”

“Oh, he’ll have help, I assure you. Nobody can do this alone, not even a god. I have bigger plans for him besides closing the gates, which I will also divulge to you in due time. However, I can’t keep watching over my champion, lest I catch Tezcatlipoca’s attention. This is where you come in: I need you to follow Izel on his journey and report back to me whenever you can. You can … nudge him along a few times as needed; otherwise, you must maintain a fair distance from him, and don’t intervene or interfere in any way. Or else, Tezcatlipoca will take notice.”

Nelli looks down at the ground in front of her before speaking.

“Izel has always been rather fearful. I don’t doubt that—even with help—he’s going to be afraid and unsure of himself. But if you truly think he’s the one who will save humanity … and from what I’ve seen when I’ve encouraged him to persevere … I think this journey will mature him. Whether or not he succeeds, he’ll be remembered by the gods, and perhaps our descendants, through legend.”

At this, Nelli looks up at Quetzalcoatl with a stern, yet determined expression on her face.

“I’ll help you, Quetzalcoatl.”

Underneath his mask, Quetzalcoatl smiles.

“But … how am I supposed to follow Izel and report back to you?”

“I expect you … to fly.”

At this, Quetzalcoatl rises from his throne and a gust of wind blows from behind him to the west. Various dark green feathers from the long train behind him fly towards Nelli before spinning around, enveloping her completely. Small rays of cyan light penetrate through the spinning mass of feathers, which distorts into a large ball floating towards Quetzalcoatl, who now has his right arm outstretched. Finally, the mass of feathers disappears and the wind dies down, revealing a medium-sized heron with white feathers, black legs, and cyan eyes, perched on Quetzalcoatl’s arm.

“Not only will you be able to fly, but you’ll be able to travel great distances instantaneously with my power in order to reach me. You should be proud, Nelli.” Quetzalcoatl praises while looking ahead to the now setting sun.

“Not only will you watch history be made, but you will see your humble brother ascend to eminence in more ways than one. Now, go, follow him, take to the skies.”

At this, Nelli flaps her wings once and rises before taking off in the direction of the sun. Quetzalcoatl lowers his arm and simply watches in silence as his emissary flies further west before disappearing in a flash of light—her duty having just begun.

Every day praising an indigenous character — Day 22

Today I'm going to praise a whole series! Onyx Equinox!

Onyx Equinox follows the story of a young Aztec named Izel, saved from death by the gods to become the “champion of mankind” and save the human race from perdition.

The main human cast of Onyx Equinox all comprise of different [pre-Columbian] indigenous peoples of Mexico. Izel and Nelli are Mexica (aka Aztec), K'in and Yun are Maya, Zyanya is Zapotec, and Xanastaku is Totonac.

With the intermingling of the various cultures featured in Onyx Equinox, the series may not take place within a particular time period.

Of these societies, only the Mexica were decimated by the Spanish conquistadors and their indigenous allies; the remaining peoples live on today in modern-day Mexico. The Mexica were part of the Nahua, the largest indigenous group in Mexico, which still live on today.

Despite the diversity of the group, all members refer to the Gods by their Aztec names.

For example, [El] Tajín flourished from 600 to 1200, ultimately falling in 1230. Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325, with the Aztec Empire forming in 1428. Danibaan (present day Monté Alban) was founded around 500 BC, and reached its zenith during the Terminal Formative period (c. 100 BC – AD 200); the city lost its political pre-eminence by the end of the Late Classic Period (c. 500–750), and soon thereafter was largely abandoned.

Welp - this week on 'Curse of Strahd - Bully that Old Man' it's just shitposting from me as the stuff going on in the game is actually pretty serious and dark.

Izel the druid gives us the weather. He's not actually a frog but he's a frog, yanno?

The party twink Mortimer helped to repair the church in Borovia, presumably attempting to be in his 'butch era.'

I’m rewatching Agents of Shield and here is list of things I genuinely forgot happened:

(and little things i enjoy)

season six:

- the shrike and the mercenaries first appeared in a park in indiana

- yo-yo was having a little secret relationship with one of the newer agents

- enoch suggested he and fitz work in the nearby brothel after losing their money

- enoch sent out the equivalent of an air-raid signal but only humans could hear it, so fitz, daisy & simmons were suffering

- agent kahn was pretending to be deke’s bestie

- one of the mercenaries (don’t ask which one i don’t remember their names) ended up in deke’s framework thing with his version of daisy

- s6ep4 ends with snippets of deke’s gf sequoia’s like insta stories

- “im observing from a distance” - little jemma

- in the little book about “fitz and his imaginary friend” daisy was a bunny (think like judy hopps)

- izel got fitz-simmons back to earth

- possessed may shot sarge, and his body completely recovered.

- literally did not remember that izel can like possess people

- also when they were sharing secrets davis said that he stole a space pen bc “he didn’t know that aliens write”

- how the fuck did i forget that davis actually dies???

- izel possessed him and made him fall from a fucking balcony or something

- daisy snapped sarge’s neck with her powers

- sarge calls daisy “skye” to try and get her to kill him

- flint comes back when izel is using mack and yo-yo’s worst fears to bring back the monoliths (<3)

- deke literally admits that he built his company because he felt like an outsider and no one likes him

- “flint?” “deke?” “what are you doing here?!” they’re so freaking cute

- sarge ran may through with the sword and pushed her through the gateway izel opened

- yo-yo swallowed a shrike bat

- “no that was a joke. the framework is silly and radcliffe definitely had a drinking problem” - fitz

- why the fuck does no one question that simmons just suddenly doesn’t have bangs anymore??? like no one even says anything about it??? i don’t think i even realized the first time i watched this

- daisy and mack realized they went back in time when the empire state building was the only building above the clouds

- coulson was brought back to figure out what the chronicoms would do

- i didn’t forget that daisy doesn’t even hesitate to press the button to start up LMD coulson, but i needed to mention it bc it’s so fucking sweet

#agents of shield #daisy johnson #phil coulson #melinda may #jemma simmons #leo fitz #alphonso mackenzie #elena yoyo rodriguez #deke shaw #sarge aos #izel #agent piper
