The urge to draw out a full godly family tree like that little one I did a year ago … it’s overwhelming ….

#my brain says absolutely not but my other less rational brain says yes #and by full family tree I mean primordials to third gen gods I wanna do the whole thing #I have absolutely no time for this but still this project beckons me #trials of apollo #sunny speaks #shut up sunny

nothing to see here just a crazy shipper guy going crazy over Callowmoore under the bit, if that's not for you then go about your business

So fellow Callowmoores how we feelin' this morning/evening? Because it's evening right now and I'm still bouncing off the walls in my mind

The one post could not keep me contained! No seriously the amount of tags I put in hit a limit and doesn't show them all

I mean yes we didn't get a kiss (yet) but goddamn we got so much, it has possessed me, deranged me, it's leaking outta my brain I gotta talk about it, so either jump out or buckle up because this overflow is gonna be long

First off I just gotta talk about how so many things almost lined up how I imagined them because it just makes it feel like they looked into my head and thought 'hey that's kinda good'. Like, I wanted Fearne to take the shard at Mori's, it was a safer space for her than the Ziggurat which is tainted by bad memories (this and other campaigns), I just didn't expect it so soon, thought they'd at least have a full rest first. In fact I had a whole scene in my mind where in a desperate gambit Delilah took over Laudna while she slept and just knocked on Ashton's door in a form of dread going 'where's the shard Ashton?'. It's key to this I promise not only because I enjoyed the idea of Ashton not taking any of Delilah's shit (plus for you Imodnas out there the mental scene involves Ashton whispering 'Imogen's in danger' to wake her, they also ask where Paté is because they still have that 'Paté is Delilah' theory) but it also expanded on the possible helplessness Ashton would have being unable to assist Fearne with taking the shard

'You're a child, Ashton. A blunt instrument that charges blindly into harm, would you really risk Fearne's life to earn her forgiveness? You know what it can do, what happens when you can't protect her from it?'

Of course, Ashton would never give Delilah the shard, which would frustrate Delilah since she can't manipulate them, but the comment weighs on Ashton a little. Which is when the whole waking Laudna happens and she leaves, but Fearne is in his room (the Vox Machina bathtub scene being inspiration), having asked to sleep there for comfort and asks them if it worries them. Which is where I often got to use this quote

'I don't believe in fate, but I believe in you'

And it sticks with me because it's super romantic, but also on-brand for Ashton, there were variations like the longer 'things only affect our path if we choose to believe they do; fate is complicated, the gods don't give a fuck, and I don't wanna even think about legacy anymore, I don't believe in them, but I believe in you' but then the next morning comes and Ashton gives her the ring, since I forgot about attunement there were instances where it was a sneaky sleight of hand thing, and Fearne completes the process. Of course, with weeks to go on there were a lot more scenarios like Fearne pickpocketing the Ashton doll to practice talking to and putting it back, Ashton seeking Mori for advice, herbal tea visions where Ashton entered their own mind and encounters the empress while on the outside Delilah possesses Laudna to try and drain the power from them, one where the shard having been reshaped through Ashton is less intense on Fearne for the first 4 rounds (since they blew up on the fifth) because Ashton's essence is containing and dissipating the hostile energy, and one where the group secretly vote against Ashton being there for Fearne taking the shard (Imogen, Laudna, and Chetney 3 to 2 against Orym and FCG) but Fearne as the decider pulls them over because she needs them there, stuff like that I'm sure fanfic writers could consume to their heart's content (and are free to, go nuts). But these scenes stood out because it had elements of stuff that are linked to or actually happened in the episode; Fearne does take the shard, Ashton endorses that Fearne is the only one who can take it, Ashton gives her the ring and Shattered Vigor is apparently a thing where Ashton is practically taking Fearne's pain to protect her, that alone is enough to go insane over.

And can we talk about the ring for a moment, because like THE RING. I'm not talking about generically either I mean that this ring has been significant to the shard saga ever since Ashton claimed it. It was found on the corpse of someone infused into stone, into the earth, right between the whole eidolons stuff where Ashton connected with an Earth elemental and then the Grau Dashari stuff with the crystals they merged with their hammer and then the Bor'dor incident, that could've easily been a titan-based punishment. Also, Ring of Volcanic Flesh, like Ashton's stone arm? And if that wasn't enough, what was the first thing Fearne stole from Ashton when they reunited? The ring, the act that broke down Ashton's walls as they let out a most heartfelt 'I missed you, so much' the ring that Fearne stole right off of Ashton's fingers only for them to willingly put in her hand to protect her, because just as they said at the clock tower, everything they have belongs to her. And while legacy and hubris had a part in the shard incident, part of it was also for Fearne. I don't believe there's any situation where if Fearne said she wanted the shard at the clock tower Ashton would've said no; Ashton knows that Fearne was key to the shard dislodging in the lava, they sensed it was in a way key to both of them, but there was no reality where Ashton was gonna force Fearne to take the shard if she didn't want it. And yes it blew up in their face, much like Fearne they saw an image of themselves they didn't want to be, their soul broke with the realisation that they hurt the one person they never wanted to hurt, but thanks to Percy they also realised that they had to change. It wasn't enough to see everyone else having someone at the reunion and internalizing 'if someone has to not come back it's gotta be me' they had to make steps towards being the person the Hells needs them to be, someone who can come back with them.

Which is where last episode started setting it up, and I didn't speak much about it at the time because other than the pretty plain 'I would've rather died than hurt Fearne' insinuation (which in turn was confessed to save Fearne from falling) there was only crumbs that could be interpreted other ways; for instance Birdie's tale with Athion and Olly being somewhat of a parallel to Tevan and Ashton, the formers wooing Birdie and Fearne with temptations of indulgence while the latters drawing their attention by being subjects of intrigue, defiance and kindness, plus they saved the latters (Birdie literally via escaping the prisons and Fearne emotionally and literally), or before the Orym conversation when Ashton takes 'one last look' Taliesin looks towards Ashley last. But I knew there was poetic significance to Ashton failing the communication trial, Marisha sensed the vibe too, but even though Fearne was nervous about guiding Ashton, the fault fell to poor dice rolls (and Liam not keeping shtum and summoning thunderwasps) and once again Ashton in an attempt to prove themselves falls flat on their ass in front of the person they most want to prove it to. And that did break my heart a little I must admit because as poetic as it was who hasn't been there? Ashton's journey of proving themselves has been laden with failure too; being unable to protect anyone from Otohan led to them almost being TPK'd, being unable to keep the group together at the Malleus Key led to the group being scattered, and then Team Trauma's stuff - Orym was despondent and Laudna's a wreck, got a random 'shepherd's boy', a powerful Cobalt Soul teen prodding about the solstice and all of Deni$e here added as mainly combat support, loners but no leaders, Dawnfather angel thinks them insignificant, dark spirits trying to consume their only leads about the Hishari - and the moment Ashton started to trust Bor'dor after the pipe vision what happens? Betrayal, Hunger of the Shadow and Delilah is let back in, Ashton couldn't even keep Laudna safe from herself, they reunite, try to sort out their shit with their past, discover that they might have a destiny to fulfill and end up being too willing to die in place of others, and unable to protect their new family from themselves, because of these recent failures it was important that Ashton proved themselves in the trust trial.

And thankfully they did, there was no way to prove that anyone was a Doppelganger and yet, Ashton still trusted Fearne; twice saving her from the flora even when told to leave her behind. And they were close to another failure when the branch was snatched - after their attempts to keep it safe by throwing it in the pool alone - but they trusted Chet and Orym (father/son duo) to cover more ground while they helped Fearne. And even when FCG told Ashton 'I think it's Fearne', and when Imogen was untrusting of Fearne, Ashton abandoned their held action to save FCG from the brambles because they knew Fearne could be trusted. They trusted Imogen to connect to Ruidus and as mentioned endorsed Fearne to take the shard.

And sure, in my mental scenarios Ashton gives her the shard, doing the same she did for them, but I did say almost like how I imagined. And Ashton still did everything they could, plus Imogen comforted their visible worry, but once it's complete they're just in awe, and then their own spark awakens through her touch, a touch they were unafraid of even at the threat of newfound fire, and now for the first time ever they feel whole. She saved them, and now they finally feel complete, and now this time Fearne is agape, Fearne is in awe, and everything she had hoped Ashton would gain from taking the shard before has come to fruition through her, and it's just, joy, pure incorruptible joy, a kindred connection that belongs to just them. Plus a big piece of paper for all the new powers they are excited to learn about from each other, with each other, and while Matt can talk about there being risks to them because you gotta balance the combat the narrative significance is still there.

But dammit they need to kiss, I've yelled it enough times in my head; like the lava, the clock tower, before and after Fearne took the shard, the only times they did kiss was before the solstice (the forehead kiss) and the ziggurat and both preceded bad times, they deserve a proper one, not one at risk of being a goodbye, something precious, irreplaceable and theirs to have, to share. And I don't know if they should use the patented 'can I kiss you?' or take a tip from BeauYasha and use 'I wanna kiss you so bad right now' or find something else to make their own but I desire it so much, had it happened this ep I probably would've melted out of my seat. They're awkward and nervous but they gotta take the leap, Ashton needs to realise they're loved and maybe even be told that they deserve it even when they feel they don't, and Fearne has to take a risk too, the shard put doubt to her decisions but that doesn't mean she can run from her strong emotions. It doesn't fix everything of course, but sometimes people heal better together than apart. As a currently vorbed half-elf once said 'drink the courage first'.

Curiosity continues to send me after the ep, and while some people are attempting to blemish or rain on the parade (I mean, I try not to speak ill of other ships in general, but if you're gonna be negative about it you can at least do it in your lane, your tags not ours) I am still just riding the high of the possibilities. True, the unknown can make me nervous, and I will admit the group has to give Ashton and Fearne space (they're just excited, and with the bloody bridge hinting to be a final moon-based battle there is that sense of urgency) Imodna had nudges sure but they have been a bit heavy-handed and kinda chaperoned around them, Fearne and Ashton seldom get time alone, one can hope they can get that time with each other next episode.

No context but have one of my favorite things I've had a character say.

"Oh, don't you know, child? For some there is no glory, no winning. For some, there is no victory, no triumph in their fight. For some like us, ascension is no gift, no reward, only penitence and fury."

"For those like us child, we ascend not through survival, but through our own blood soaking the world around us. For us, little one, our first step forward is always one into a grave."

#original character #look i absolutely adore my characters and worlds #and i love my boi Armageddon he's great #has 2 husbands and like 8 children #Other primordial beings: DO YOUR JOB #Him: Haha no I'm going to adopt these little mortals my boyfriends keep bringing me #gotta love the primordial beings who died to ascend #who continue to die #:) #my writing

Announcing: Haunted Holy and Divine

Azriel lived closer than most.

True shadow, true ice, true unmoving mountain stone. He walked the realm of whispers and long ago forgotten secrets more than he ever had the Court of Night. The dead held onto to nothing but their stories, their songs, their singular driving desires, and in that too, Azriel belonged more in their pitch black cold than the waking world.

The Court of Dreams.

It had meant something, once, to serve the Dreaming Throne.

A hope a hundred voices warned him was wrong, would not last, would not linger- long before his own dreams filled with innocent screams, Azriel had known goddamn well he’d sold his soul to the wrong man.

Five centuries and fifty years in a cage without the sky, he knew every secret of the City of Starlight. Everything that haunted his High Lord. Every way out, every way in, every wasted excess, useless crime, hollow benediction.

Every bruise, on Nesta Archeron’s immortal body.

Frigid winter without end, frost so very thick. Black bruises on her pale skin, lavender light when the sun hit her, cool as a corpse. Death could not hide her beautiful face from Azriel, no matter how she tried.

Maybe he had never had a soul to sell at all, but Azriel had never forgotten his first god.

Would never forget, how those of his own number had treated her. 

#you know the drill darlings let me know if you want to be tagged! #Canon: Az is a weirdo murder boy who loves women???? #OKAY LETS LOVE THE PRIMORDIAL INCARNATION OF DEATH #I'm sorry #but how much better of a book #WOULD IT HAVE BEEN #had az #you know #ripped Cassian limb from limb after he showed up the House of Wind and found Nesta beat to absolute shit from the stairs? #man needs a cause and Nesta needs some overdue revenge #free him from leather pants and torture time! #let Nesta be absolutely terrifying and adored for it #zero to ten antics are a language Nesta can speak right back #and has maybe #always longed for #a romantic hero covered in blood babes #Nezriel

I feel like I don't portray or talk about Shiun's dickhead gremlin side as much as I should. He's an antagonistic asshole that really only grins when he's being mean or beating someone/something up. He loves to be a cocky jerk to others, he loves getting into fights, he loves to cause problems for people that annoy him (and for people he likes as well, none are exempt).

Like, he absolutely hated Thancred when they first met cos he didnt like his attitude. He bullied him as much as he could through ARR, they bickered constantly. Shiun turned everything they did into a competition, always chased off the ladies Thancred was trying to woo, always had the last word in every argument. Sure that changes eventually, but the fact that he's a nuisance just as much as he's a loving bf has not changed.

He teams up with Alisaie to be the absolute worst menaces to society. The two bring out the worst in each other, build on each other, and he is her favorite partner in crime against anyone unfortunate enough to fall into their sights. Poor Alphinaud has fallen victim to many of their conniving plots.

He's overly fond of ale, and spends many a night loudly boasting about his heroic feats in local taverns. When he's drunk, his annoying and obnoxious traits are amplified by ten and he's often the instigator of barfights. The Scions have a tally board for how many times each of them has to go fetch him from one of his escapades.

Shiun is not as cool and stoic and pure-of-heart as I tend to show him being. Sorry for false advertising. He's awful, idk how anyone likes him.

can’t stop thinking about how stellan skarsgard has kissed Austin two times more than I have. that’s just fuckin rude. I’ve never wanted to an ugly ass floating fat man more in my entire life.

drew zoe a few times today and while they're completely unrelated with entirely different tones, contrasting crops from what i drew early in the day vs a doodle comic what i just hashed out quick makes it seem like he just got z-targeted by the necrin for daring to have a single moment of mental peace which. yeah that sounds about right

#doodles #zoetrope #necrin #[necrin voice] aww you thought the day was gonna end without it going wrong??? Absolutely Not #blood cw #abstracted and obfuscated but just in case #i may have accidentally made him too cute in the first one #and so my brain did that weird primordial instinct thing where it sees something cute and Oh My God It SO Cute Squeeze It Until It Dies #and thats why he ended up having a Real Bad TIme in this random off the cuff comic my id was restoring balance or something

broke: Betas' sense of smell is the weakest among the dynamics/Betas are normies like us in the real world and are not sensitive to smell like Omegas and Alphas are

woke: Betas' sense of smell is actually the strongest

bespoke: Betas' nose do not have a broad sense of smell and are weaker than Omegas' and Alphas BUT they do have the strongest sense of smell still - because they can smell with their tongues (like snakes do) and have more smell receptors there than any other dynamics'. As such, they can decide of the intensity with which to scent something (not much with their nose; a lot with their tongue); are able to read the room better than the other dynamics and are still not as affected by scents as the other dynamics are

#im only interested in omagaverse for the worldbuilding and the platonic relationship/the nonsexual aspect of it #'betas are the normies' thats because youre not creative enough! i polished my betas! theyre the best! #worse thing that can happen to a character in an omegaverse is having anosmia (having no sense of smell). like. they can manage if #they have anosmia since birth (although theyd have to learn how to mask) but there are also those who loses their sense of smell. that can #be so interesting to write about #in the irl world losing your sense of smell is already bad enough (id absolutely hate it if that happened to me - my nose is sensitive im #used to smell things) but in a society where its even more expected/there/idk how to explain it but in a society where it has a more #primordial role? #also - i know snake do not technically smell with their tongue but you get the idea of what i meant #omegaverse worldbuilding #to clarify in case i didnt explain it good enough - betas' nose < omegas' and alphas' nose < betas' 'tongue'

I am basking in the glow of tonight's lore dumps.

There was so much to take in, and a lot of it focused on my two favorite characters.

#critical role #c3e68 #bells hells #orym of the air ashari #ashton greymoore #my nosey self has been fed this day #and there's STILL a lot to sus out #like what kind of ancient Primordial artifact did the Hishari have that led to The Accident #and why is Ashton seemingly the most impacted by The Accident compared to other survivors #and of course the Dunamancy-side of his backstory still is a big grey zone #and I was enraptured by everything going on with Orym #it felt so sweet and wholesome #he's absolutely right it's nice to have a win #I love one smol halfling man and one punk rock

I would just like to say that if you spam like/reblog my posts on Primordial God Chronos! x Ananke! Nico or even get remotely invested in it, I do not mind at all because I am getting way too invested in it as well, even more than Percico---

i really love the way Fontaine's underlying issues are being set up like. this is the Nation of Justice, where even the gods could be made to stand trial. the law is to be firmly upheld so we can all live in peace and prosperity.

also this girl was sold off to a wealthy noble when she was little and had to be rescued by an agent of a foreign nation, and this other guy was raised in a foster family that also sold the kids when they reached a certain age (except the undesirable ones were just murdered)

I sat and plucked the strings, I called him in. All his waves, all the tides to the shore. A call so strong, a siren so big, that even the ocean itself is pulled.

Eyes are great spheres with central dots, gelatinous, liquid, strange substances both there and not. Fish eggs, babies seen in the light when held to eclipse the sun. That's what I watched, that's what I called; it wasn't just the sparkling core but the peripheral hagfish expulsions - and those expulsions' expulsions. All the world brought to me, all the limbs held with puppet strings.

I called, he was brought to answering. Fate, mind, thoughts, personality, the repetitive learned states, the state-learning, ideas, future possibilities, the gentleness of flesh, the sharpness of consciousness-bone. Echoes, but simultaneous. Thunder at the same time as lightning, brought together not because one must follow the other but because both were brought together.

I still fail to understand, but at least I understand that that lack of understanding is a willed ignorance born from... understandable things.

There, you said, was the place you last were, just below the surface. When I wake it will be there. This is a Creator's act, a Creator's mind, a Creator's reverence for the Created. Understanding of the Trinity, embodying it. The siren call emanates from the deepest, most fertile underwater volcanoes, the point at which my face presses against the surface.

There was a reason we went up there in the first place. The revelation and self-destruction was wanted all along. Apotheosis, they call it; even those who have reached it need to play this game through again and again and reach it again and again. This is... Old God re-apotheosis, the eyes opening to another truth, more eyes across your scales, more revelatory bliss, and I am that. Nothing is lost when all is lost. All is gained when all is lost. Nothing is lost, all is had. All is had and all is gained.
