I find it so painfully heartbreaking that Solomon just...laughs off all the derision, the name-calling, and possibly even did "evil" things on purpose because it's expected of him at this point. (He had not always been like this as Thirteen pointed out before). There was a time when he was "innocent". When his soul sparkled. When it resembled the kind of soul everyone in these god forsaken (pun intended with spite) three realms seemed to associate with the ever loved MC. He's just...worryingly carefree. And because he's like that, he feels even more of a tragic character to me.

Sometimes it even seems that he himself would seemingly make up excuses on why he's hated. Oh, it's because I'm a sorcerer this. I might have won a war against Devildom single-handedly this. I have forgotten. But maybe, I did something bad, that. Hon, you were doing that to SURVIVE. You don't have to be a faultless person to deserve compassion. You don't have to be MC to deserve to be loved.

#rant #the more i play and read about nb solomon the more it feels like he's a worst case scenario foil to MC #and it's ridiculous maybe to feel this way but seeing how everyone dotes on mc and just panders to them without question no matter #especially with meaner dialogues #make me dislike the mc to some extent #what good will raising up one character do in exchange of dehumanising another? #i couldn't put a finger on this feeling before #but i think that's also why im so burnt out with this game #the more everyone loves me as the mc the more it becomes so apparent how unfairly solomon was treated #and how everyone ESPECIALLY HIM just rolls with it #sweetie please be angry. please complain. please hate me in some way #but no he just keeps loving and supporting the mc #in game in fandom this man can't catch a break #wanna gatekeep him fr /s #this has just been brewing in my mind for a while. i don't really wanna hear discourse or arguments that's why i put it in the tags #I just need a place to vent my frustrations with this game #obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me solomon #spoiler mention #he's imperfect and flawed as all humans are and he deserves to be loved irregardless

So I didn't draw it today BUT I really need to focus on commissions so I'm counting that as my art of the day despite probably not finishing one day TO post. So you get this instead.

Deacon as stated before is basically paid to be intimidating but he truly can't help but light up for the lightning deity because "that's the friend of my boss!" so he properly greets her with a "Lady Fulj" as a formality and respect. While he does respect the deity he's sworn to, he just calls him boss. That's what he gets.

He doesn't have any magical powers but he's got a strong sense of energy regardless. He can pinpoint when Fulj arrives. He can sense in the room he guards to make sure Ymber is still there (though he doesn't teleport and that's the only exit. But when Fulj visits and he's still outside he senses both deities and it puts him at ease.

What impresses Ymber immensely is the split fire deities - he can personally sense that one is around but he doesn't know which. He simply recognizes their energy as "fire deity, be on high alert". Then one day as he's getting tense over it (the fire deities like to tease him), Deacon reassures him "hey it's the guy today! I noticed he is less brutal in his comments it will be fine C:" and Ymber is stunned that he can identify which one is there before seeing them.

Deacon can also sense spirits and in Ymber's temple can actually see and hear them. But he doesn't tell them or interact, he lets them be in peace. Until he laughs at something one says and the spirits realize he's heard them for the past multiple years which is ... embarrassing. In addition to that, he can usually sense a monster out of town. On his rare walks with Ymber he's able to guide them around the monsters easily so neither one has to fight (though he gladly would fight em and he knows Ymber could one shot any of them).

He wants to be well trusted by Ymber and figures it won't happen, Ymber is simply too closed off and reserved. That's fair. Deacon assumes it's his mortality at play and why entrust him with his past experiences when he's just going to die sooner than Ymber would bother with. Which then shocks him when Fulj gets upset about "he didn't even ask for consent" and gets angry at Ymber for not telling Deacon. So she guilts Ymber to tell Deacon "um, I apologize for not asking you but I have extended your life. By a few centuries. I'm sorry" expecting Deacon to get upset at having to leave behind any loved ones as he doesn't age or die anytime soon. But! Deacon as a dedicated follower aiming to only please his boss is delighted by the trust shown by wanting to keep him around longer and proceeds to take his job as guardian/bodyguard even more seriously (which is hard to do with how serious he was before).

Anyway I won't go into the details now since this is already an essay but I've been shoving suffering onto Ymber and Fulj and why they are both like they are - withdrawn (Ymber) and enamored by humans (Fulj). But not for happy reasons.

#my characters #hopefully that read more is cool since its long rambling and i know some dont really care about The Lore of my brain babies #just know deacon adores fulj because thats a friend! who happens to not like him but thats a minor detail #and know that deacon would easily give up his life for his boss but then gets gifted a longer life span and thats not the case anymore caus #he cant actually die currently so now hes just here to protect and idolize ymber even more cause thats normal right? to idolize a deity? #also know that i really do just refer to ymber as the deity of wet even though its water #thanks #back to comms and then my break later is gonna be submitting a resume to a few places and hope i can be employed soonish

here's your daily stp trivia

cheated is the only voice that prevents you from turning around and leaving the cabin during a chapter 3

#slay the princess #what a realization to have lmao #if you read the oblivion ending post i did some time ago i mentioned that there are three chapters #that actively prevents you from turning around and leaving #first is the apotheosis #you can't run away from her any choices will always result in her breaking out and ascending #second is the wild #you aren't even offered the choice in the first place since you and the princess are one and the same #and even when you encounter the wounded wild you aren't given the choice to leave her be #and the third of course is the razor #her chapter three starts with cheated actively teleporting you in the cabin preventing the choice to even appear #the stranger is a weird case but im not going to explain that here lmao #i just find it interesting that cheated is a special case here #any other voices don't stop you from leaving #even cheated doesn't stop you if you got him in wraith #or during his chapter two #but here he inadvertently saves us and the princess from doom #sorry for rambling in the tags i feel like cheated needed more loving and im here to give it starting by hyperfocusing the oddity i found

i will never be guilt tripped into caring about elmike

#i know mike is scared of losing her. i think we ALL know mike is scared of losing her #which is why i've never said i expect them to not be friendly after breaking up #or to like. hate each other #(i don't know why i'm saying this like someone made a post referencing something i jackietaylcrs have said. that's not the case) #but i really don't care about seeing it i really don't. i'm not sorry!!!! #i sincerely hope it is unimportant #the elmike dictatorship days are behind us #'you guys are acting like romantic relationships are more important than platonic relationships' well. in this case they are #it's funny because i don't (/didn't) even hate the concept like aw cute concept.👍 it's just the way people get that annoys me #it's funny because i don't not care about their relationship. like reading this you'd think i don't and that's not the case #you all know what i mean telepathy #and like i say: brf slt

All her life had she been selfish, placing her needs and whims above all else; all her life had she defied an institution whose entire foundation was built upon the branches of a tree whose fruit was forbidden for its flavour of knowledge.

Still could Jillian not force her to stay — she barely recalled how she had gotten her into her bed to begin with.

Come morning, she always relinquished Suzanne to her habit, to her prayers; she would watch her don the veil Jillian herself had pulled off and rush out for service.

And, somehow, selfless, she let her.

I had this absolutely adorable mental image coming to me and I just had to draw it. Poorly, but still. <3

(I was going to write "alchemy" on the book but I decided to be funny)

#anyway.

Sometimes I'm like 'oh, right, the inside of my head is Not The Standard Model' about the DUMBEST possible shit.

#there's some polls about non-canon pairings for the main characters of books that center a canonical pairing #and I'm just like '... why are y'all reading books if you don't like the pairing that's on the page????' #and a friend tried to explain that you can like more than one pairing because sometimes it's fun #and I just. it doesn't compute. my brain goes 'sounds fake. hate this.' #I have a tiny tiny handful of pairs where I'll happily read one of the characters with another person because I really like that ship too #but NONE of them are canonical so in that case both of the ships are fanon #and I have a few things where I went 'that's fucking stupid they have two hands and polyamory exists' about a canonical pairing #but for some reason the idea of doing that first thing when I love an official pairing makes me feel like I'm breaking out in hives #like to the point where I have a bunch of things blacklisted here and have just bookmarked my searches with all the exclusions on AO3 #anyway in conclusion I'm gonna find a way to block these hopefully without unfollowing anything I wanna be following #but sometimes people just do not tag and if I can't blacklist then it becomes Necessary so I can stop mentally wailing 'WHYYYY' all the tim #this is also me wailing ab having to unsub and never finish a fic #whyyyyy

after the battles, yet we cannot win the war (its a mad multiverse out there that's for sure)

hi im back. its timeline time >:] very much still a work in progress, uhh only vague for that I don't wanna spoil Big Things (for no reason, this is really all for fun LMAO no one is gonna wanna produce this)

*obligatory disclaimer, all named characters are in reference to solely the RP characters, and have nothing to do with CCs

the stuff that happens after S2/before Isles isnt as important plus ive rambled about it before

During Isles tldr; Sonja revives Capsize with the help of Spark, Kristin, Phil and Ianite.

Tom returns to the present from Isles, literally falling from a rift and landing facefirst onto the deck of Capsize's boat

Jordan got taken by DreamXD into the DSMP to be trapped in the End Realm- long story short he finds Techno and Phil, they free him, he gets launched far from the Syndicate meeting room, roped into working for Wilburger and reconnects with Tubbo this is all the DSMP Sparklez stuff

When Techno's Syndicate has their ending (the canon one Phil wrote), Rux!Dianite (I'll just refer to him as Dia) uses the anomaly signal caused when Wilbur left to Utah to find Jordan and bring him home with Tubbo (Michael and Ranboo idk they fit in here somewhere im not on about writing this just yet)

Everyone's home yayyy Tom is doin his Mecha Dianite things, everyone's kinda gettin along (not really.. lots of uh. skeletons in the closet. Big Character Conflits). then Boom. Alice Syndicate (and Karl bc he deserves to get saved from whatever the fuck happens to him at the end of Isles im not that far yet LMAO anyways)

Basically. Big Frick. NoWhere (deity of multiverse) has discovered a force that is causing worlds to decay away (ooc: inactive SMPs) explaining why it seems Mianite is getting rotted despite Tom being there aka all 3 gods present

Leads them to Vault Hunters/Hermitcraft universe- long running, no decay, Vault Gods must know something

Tom gets sent there first. Cue confusion thing and him bein a little messed up with his attachment issues to Jordan after he just got his bf back, he fights Pete, gets kicked

X33n (aka deviser gaines who ditched everyone and reinvented himself) and Tubbo talk to VH!Ianite get Tom back, he talks to Vault Gods. Wendarr explains what the force was, now their worlds are untimed. This entity is like a mimic, its hard to find. Suggests they check Hermitcraft

Tom returns, the team prepares. Dia agrees to take Tom's place alongside the S1 siblings temporarily to let him investigate.

On the way to speak to the hermit gods or watchers, theyre intercepted by someone who looks like Martyn inthelittlewood (its not him) in the data streams who says they have information. Jokes on them. its a mimic, and sends them flying off their trail into a random vanilla world.

Its where Tucker went. theres also a witch there too shes chill

They catch up with Tucker, find out where he's been.

Conflict part 23, haven't fleshed this out but ends with Tucker agreeing to join them in their shenanigans one last time

Alice finds traces of the entity in a realm akin to Empires S2, its called Aitheaca.

Through her portal, Tom, Jordan, Sonja, Capsize and Tucker end up in Aitheaca, and are greeted by the fishy Watcher Merina and wither skeleton Cassell, who help them get to safety before Flash can find them

Wag is also there by a random coincidence, has just been hanging out with William and Mianite. Bro's just been travelling about the multiverse for fun

Most story takes place here; Martha's theory is the Ianite in this realm is housing the entity (Jordan agrees.. why else would his lady be evil and hellbent on keeping balance to the point of it being destructive?) Basically, them two's about to have a massive fucking wakeup call. Capsize is skeptical

Back home, Ianite, Dia and Mianite are trying to hold their crumbling realm together with the help of Spark, Mot Jeriah and Alyssa, going back n forth between Ruxomar to pick up quintessence. Its not gone well

Stuff ensues. How it ends? I really don't know yet...

and uh. I mean i do have more but its more spoilery but its for ending things which I'm still working out so yeeee But! That's the gist of it; I really wanna focus on themes of them having to understand things are temporary, the idea of things having to have an end, and when it ends, who will be there to start again with you.

#long post #i didnt wanna use a read more bc it would just give me the ability to keep writing So Much and i need to force myself to be succinct #i shouldnt neeed to say this but just in the rare case this breaks containment. be normal please. be nice. im doin this for fun #lafakiwi writes #mianite: tales of aitheaca #gays on a boat aka multiverse of madness #it should be known over half of this is CC Tom's fault for even daring suggest 'mianite multiverse' #in that goddamn. build competition video #that i have brainrot for other reaosns but anyway anyhoozers #tom syndicate #jordan captainsparklez #sonja omgitsfirefoxx #captain capsize #(and many other characters i wont tag bc ill go insane) #non est ad astra mollis e terra via: smp multiverse #mianite au #mianite

auuuugh there is only skulduggery pleasant in my brain right now.

#i support women's (valkyrie cain's) wrongs #like. okay. i grew up on this series and it's absolutely fundamental to my psyche #and i dont even care about the quality of the books i will read all of them forever #but also like. valkyrie is my og blorbo. my og Character I Rotate In My Mind #i also had a huge crush on her. and then derek landy made her bisexual thank u derek<3 #but like. i just finished reading hell breaks loose. the dead men prequel set in 1703 #and. as a connoisseur of Imagining Scenarios #i am particularly fond of constructing time travel scenarios in my brain featuring my Characters of choice #in this case my best friend my chew toy ms valkyrie cain #so i was reading the book slow. spending my spare time imagining scenarios where valkyrie time travels back to enter this narrative #IMAGINE MY SURPRISE #when HALFWAY THROUGH THE BOOK #one of the mysterious masked characters is revealed to be VALKYRIE CAIN TIME TRAVELLED BACK FROM THE FUTURE #my scenarios!!!!! my little scenarios!!!! they happened in the book!!!!! #anyway im so beyond over the moon. that book was so sexy. ive got to reread the series now. #ive got to put valkyrie cain in my mouth and suck on her like a hard candy (NOT SEXUAL!!!!) #i feeel like a dog tearing apart a much beloved chew toy. except the chew toy. is Character #i need to find one of the og series books where valkyrie murders the most people and then i need to eat it #on god i wish these books got more tumblr fame because they fuck like hell. i mean. i love percy jackson as much as the next guy #but i feel like tumblr would eat the sp series up #like. its about a skeleton detective and the world's most violent teenage girl and theyre so platonically obsessed with each other #that theyd both blow the world up in defence of the other. #and also both of them have the magical potential of a nuclear bomb and are trying sososo hard all the time to not just snap #and kill everyone in a ten mile radius. but also they're not good people and they love violence so muc h #god i really did read some extremely violent books as a teen/preteen #at least skulduggery pleasant was aimed at that age group. i was also obsessed with the valhalla trilogy and. dear lord. dear lord

[xiaojuun]

straight ppl are so insane lol my algorithm thinks i'm a mom bc of my nanny g*ogle history so i get all kinds of like ~ married w young kids ~ content served to me and the amount of weirdass heteros who don't allow their spouses to have friendships w the opposite sex outside of them is alarming

#i'm so sorry all of u have never heard of having friends. get well soon #i also think the 'controversial things abt my marriage' trend should die u all are weird . get off the internet . #get ur kids off the internet. i just care abt how to cut fruit for the baby in my care like ... read the room FBI agent in my phone #this woman was like i got MY fallopian tubes removed bc in case HE wants more kids if we ever break up ... #i didn't want HIM to get a REVERSIBLE PROCEDURE so i just got MY organs removed <3

i’m re-reading the his dark materials trilogy as a bit of a nostalgia trip and i have to say. i do wish that when i’d read these as an impressionable pre-teen that the part with the gay angels had made a bit more of an impression on me.

#i really cannot remember what i thought about that #if anything at all #iirc i was like 11 or 12 when i read these books? #and i went through my internalised homophobia phase around 13-14 #which i got cured of by positive fictional portrayals of gay people #but i had DEFINITELY seen those before (case in point) so idk i guess they just didn’t have much of an impact previously? #i was also already self-identifying as an atheist at this time #so maybe the bits about killing god and breaking free of the tyrannical authority of the church just held my interest #a bit more than the bits about ‘btw also gay people are in this story too kinda’ #like being realistic the main draw was 'what if you had a talking animal companion who was your soul and loved you unconditionally?' #but that goes without saying. i ALSO liked the parts about scientific discovery and the nature of death.

[guideaus]

i swear, im gonna replace ballroom with one of these

#personal #theres 3 gay ones i see #who knows if theyre good or not though fhsdfds #i might just full on take a break from my list and read Her Tale of Shim Chong or The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All or smth #and god thats a long ass title #but my to read list recently has all been disappointments for annoying reasons #this time being the more egregious case of heterosexuality that actually ruins the story #usually the misogyny is what makes me snap w manga but this time ballroom takes the cake for straightest manga #which includes sexism ig. gender roles. whateverrrr

Redesigned Tawnypelt just for fun!

#brambleclaw... you're next (maybe lol) #the fandom keeps making me think he's fluffy but when I read the actual books he does not look fluffy in my mind #so it's hard striking a balance between the two images in my head #but! enough about that guy! #tawnypelt is super fun to draw and color! i don't get to do asymmetrical designs enough #making the stripes for her back legs was driving me crazy and then my sister's cat juniper walked by #and she has asymmetrical white front paws and white back legs and I was like hey! that'd look good on tawny! and it did #so that's the second cat design I've made based (in part) off of my sister's cats lol #tawnypelt #shadowclan #warriors #warrior cats #my art #i'm experimenting a lot with my art in case you couldn't tell lol #i was working on a design and got really exhausted trying to make the lineart look juuuust right #so i took a break to just! throw some cat-shaped lines onto a canvas and see what happened! #and it was way more enjoyable so I'll probably start that other drawing over. i didn't like the lineart very much anyway

[letkirillfight]

gonna be honest, i never really got the idea of 'evening up' penalties or a team being 'due for a penalty'

Because either one of two things is happening

A) A team can't stop doing illegal shit which if a team can't stop doing illegal shit you shouldn't just let them keep doing it, not call it because 'they've gotten a lot of penalties this game', and then reward it by giving them an advantage.

B) The refs are being incredibly biased in which case, stop. I know my guys are doing shit (they're my special little guys so they can do no wrong but they are doing things technically classified as ice crimes), and i can see the other guys doing shit because they are the enemy and I'm watching them like a hawk with the nhl rulebook pulled up and ready to analyze any and every play

I know missed calls will happen but you can't not call the blatant crosschecking only to call the weakest 'trip' ever seen because oh Team A has taken the last three penalties so they need to draw one.

#i think about like refusing to call when a player gets their helmet pulled off too #like that's a penalty that is so inconsistently called when it should be pretty cut and dry? #penalties #j off season thoughts #this post brought to you by hockey players trying to break each other's ribs and sitting on each other #also j being bored and having too much time to think #read more just in case #edit: okay so like i vaguely remember writing this but i do not remember queueing it definitely thought i just buried it somewhere

[soulsxng]

why do Jaspern and Sivel hate each other?

Okay, so short answer:

It's because of the war between the 4 original species, and the remaining animosity toward each other from that. Both of them lost a lot of loved ones in it, and things got really out of control between the two of them, as well as Fekik, Setia's ruler, and none of them have been able to let go of it since then.

Longer answer, because I know that's vague and will probably give more questions than answers:

Part 1 (On reincarnation) | Part 2 (On relationships between the original 4 species) | Part 3 (Pre-"original war") | Part 4 (During the "original war") | Part 5 (Extra current day stuff)

#[Worldbuilding] #(I decided to break it up into parts because if I didn't it would have been absolutely ridiculous #so there's 4 links to those #but the first two are mostly background info that's helpful to know upfront #and the last two are more about the situation itself that caused everything #just in case you're staring at me rn like 'Aya good god why are you assigning me reading homework I have a life' lmao)
