wait do Colin and Zoe have to get their dumb ass mech parts body augments bolted back onto them everytime they respawn

As a general rule, no, they don't! Although for Zoetrope, it's a little more complicated. More on that in a bit.

Setting up how to explain this got a little long so I've put it, along with some more accompanying drawings/doodles, under a cut! But first, a fancy Lamarr (this is actually 100% relevant)

Respawn is used primarily to reconstruct living (or rather, once-living) matter; it actually takes more effort on Necrin's part to reconstruct inanimate things and objects, including clothing and personal affects. Once you have a sort of 'default' look about you, that's how you will respawn, and respawning that outfit's "free" as it were.

Now, even if they are constantly kept on your person, there are some things you have to jump through some hoops to ensure they respawn with you such as magical items or exceptionally unique pieces of tech. This is to prevent dangerous or valuable objects from being wrecklessly duplicated. In the event there is a respawn-induced duplication of a magical item, let's say a magical necklace, for example, one is instantly rendered a dud in terms of its magical properties. You can only guarantee the dud will be the one left behind on your corpse and the one on your respawned body has all its intended properties if you jump through the aforementioned hoops. If you don't, you better haul ass to where your body dropped and hope it hasn't been scavenged or disposed of with your corpse yet.

(On the topic of scavenging, the fact you never know if someone's magical item is 'attached' to them and that's now a dud or still the real deal if they bite it has its own bundle of consequences and plays a big role in the black market of the world. Respawn-induced duds that are then enchanted to briefly fool potential buyers are rampant)

You can 'update' your 'default' look, but doing this costs a not insignificant amount of money, on top of the money you already had to spend to just physically acquire/purchase the clothes in the first place. The only people who can gussy themselves up, and then not constantly be on edge about the risk of losing all that effort, or even the clothing itself, are people who have the kind of money and connections for Necrin to be regularly up to date on what fit to respawn them in every time they change clothes.

Your only other alternative really is to be enough of a badass you can dodge all danger and make it to whatever situation your special outfit is for without dying or the outfit itself taking any damage. But even badasses get unlucky.

Yeah, so I accidentally made an in-universe reason why the cartoon characters tend to wear the same clothes all the time except when it's particularly relevant to the story at hand, but I actually hadn't planned on it serving that purpose… Weird coiny dink.

I used a date as an example here, but in the nature of the beast/the themes of the work, you might imagine, hey, this could effect all kinds of things, like appointments, jobs where you have to wear a uniform or special gear, job interviews, etc, and it does, and that's explored i the story (as is the fact status can affect respawn speed as well, only further exacerbating the issue)

Now back to Collin and Zoetrope specifically, the entire original point of this ask, whoopsie doodle!

Collin sometimes likes to have his 'default' be cyborg arms, and sometimes he doesn't, so he updates it accordingly. He doesn't need to re-do the entire surgical process when he does this; he implanted a sort of 'middle man' cybornetic that the arms can be attached or detached from, which takes some time and precision from someone other than himself, but is obviously much less of an ordeal than putting ALL that tech back in. The 'middle man' cybernetics are there regardless, and sometimes he will pop the arms on and off without updating because of how minimal an inconvenience it is with how rarely he actually dies.

Now for Zoe, the control nodes/parts of the wheel directly attached to him/his body will respawn with him when he does, but the wheel itself, and its free floating node, will not. This is because the wheel was a personal affect (or potentially a body part, given the alien nature of the being) scavenged from an Agent monster, which, unlike lifeforms native to the core, do not respawn when slain/destroyed,. While the wheel is nigh-indestructible and can survive situations Zoe himself wouldn't, it has to be physically retrieved in the event Zoe is temporarily slain, or he's royally boned until they get it back.

yeah this is what i was talking about earlier i'm really mad how this pre-peeled zoe came out i keep playing with fire

Because the concept of werewolf!Dutch entertained me enough to make it a proper thing.

It took too many tries to do the full werewolf and make it look the way I wanted but after all that he is fluffy and I love him c:

Also if you're wondering at all, this is part of that Red Dead Supernatural AU I'm writing. Teeeeechnically there's already four chapters written and posted which you can find over here if you wanna take a look.

Chapters will be posting again sometime at the beginning of January maybe earlier if I can block my time out right.

It's been a little quiet around here, but I promise I'm still writing! This fic is going to be a 20k monster at the very least (my final drafts are always longer than my first drafts), and I've been trying to make it to the finish line this month so I can start the long, long process of shaping it into something readable. Have some snippets of weird little boys, past and present!

#ALSO thank you to people who sent requests! those are still v much on my radar #and they're very good prompts too :) im excited about them! #i'm just trying to see how much more of the monster i can bulldoze through before i need another break (which is what the microfics are for #WIP #also talked about this on my sideblog but i might split the release of this into halves for the sake of my sanity #so instead of a marathon release of 1 chapter a week it might be more like first 1/2-> break to edit/draw ->second 1/2 #...although i definitely am at least going to have to write the second draft as one large piece. we'll see #i might... need... a spreadsheet...

#GEORGE: one of them I actually just threw out 'cause it was almost just purely black, because we don't know how to use the polaroid camera, apparently.

#v art #gnf fanart #georgenotfound fanart #inspired by the TOMIE chapter PHOTOGRAPH by junji ito!! #ive been wanting to draw something w him inspired by her for like 2 years and the polaroid photos were a perfect chance #the idea here is that he/Tomie is so beautiful but when you try to take a picture of her it comes out scary and grotesque so the concept #is that the one he had to throw out wasnt actually black it was just capturing that yokai/monster side

Very strange to me that the longer supernatural went on, the kinder it was to John Winchester and the uglier it made Chuck.

There’s something very. I don’t know. “Don’t blame your father, your father never did anything wrong. Blame God. Blame this thing that’s been secretly making your life worse this whole time, pulling the strings, controlling you and everyone around you.”

And the further we get into the show, the more Chuck becomes a Writer, rather than it being about God as a Father. (Never completely losing that aspect, obviously, just like Chuck was always a writer, but one of these parallels clearly superceded the other in terms of importance to the story.)

#this isn’t John winchester crit ‘he was a terrible monster we should blame for everything’ post tbc #it’s about how the show lost its teeth about fatherhood right when it needed them most. and it still gives some bangers! but. this big one. #this big one flops for me. #idk maybe its just a side effect of 2/4 of the archangels being dead. Lucifer not being a real character anymore. Michael busy being gay. #like who is Chuck supposed to father figure to here? I mean there’s cas but that was never the same relationship as the archangels to god. #angels to god fatherhood relationship v different. explored in different ways. #and I mean Chuck himself is just a cartoon villain by the end too. there’s v little nuance left in him. #I guess there could have been something with Jack. oh the good spn in my head where Chuck butts into the Jack custody battle. #is this child a threat to him? better make sure he’s loved as The Best Grandad Ever. #there could have been one thing the winchesters & Lucifer could team up/agree about: get Chuck the fuck away from Jack #anyway I digress. just thinking thoughts. #spn #chuck shurley #john winchester

Old Wounds

⚔️ Closed starter for @rathalascendant ⚔️

The scene was every bit as grim and worrisome as the report had made it seem.

A disturbance in the woodlands nearby one of the many villages dotting the land. The ground quaked violently, the roars and calls of monsters in its depths rattling the trees as they struggled. Amidst the chaotic eruption of clashing sounds, someone swore they heard human voices shouting the clang of iron. Hunters? Trappers? It seemed a likely explanation for the disturbance. But when all had quieted and a few brave souls and their felyne companions had scraped up the nerve to venture out and see for themselves, they found... nothing.

The grass was disturbed and a few tress had been knocked down, marked with splintered holes where it seemed like something had been driven into the wood. The soil was pressed in smooth lines- too smooth. The heavy weight of a cage or a vehicle of some sort? There were obvious signs of a struggle as well. Claw marks on bark and on stones, flipped chunks of smashes materials like refined wood and metal scattered about, and some lingering smell of smoke from smoke bombs.

It certainly seemed like a poaching incident. But from who?

All that had been left behind was some sort of iron amulet with a strange symbol carved into it. The shape was odd, uncanny. Made of straight line that jutted out and ended abruptly, with the only clearly discernible shape being an eye in the center of the mess.

What could it mean?

⚔️ Dramatic Sacrifice Prompts // ACCEPTING ⚔️

“NO!”

The word his hoarse and ragged as it tears itself from Alfie’s throat, so guttural it almost sounds like a growl. Beside her, Lalune’s reaction is much the same. The dragon beats her wings, rushing to the edge of the edge of the cliff only to pull back at the last moment like a frightened steed. Too frightened to take off in pursuit. Only able to watch in despair as her Rider is carried off by Grimmel’s airship.

“We’re not leaving you!” Alfie calls out, preparing to mount her Rathian, only to be knocked off of her monstie by one of the Deathgrippers. It looms over her, having swatted away her beast. Lalune, sensing that her time is growing thin, attempts another takeoff, only for yet another Deathgripper to pin her down again. She yelps, terrified of the stinger hovering over her, poised and ready to strike as soon as Grimmel gives the word.

A word he’ll give the second Mari gives him a reason too.

“Call off your beasts, rider. No need for them to die too.” His hiss draws the Deathgripper looming over Lala closer- close enough now that its drool is dripping onto her whimpering face as she cowers beneath its weight. The sick bastard. He’s using her own love for her monsties against her. Against them all. And for once, there’s nothing they can do about it. He’s brought a while horde of them to outnumber the riders and their companions. “Not yet…”

“Don’t you listen to him, Mari!” In trapped under the crushing force of the Deathgripper, Alfie refuses to yield. The wind is being forced out of her lungs by the claw on her chest, but she maintains a vice grip on the jaws around so intent on clamping down to bite her head off. “We won’t let him touch our monsties, yea hear? He won’t touch a single hair or scale or feather on any of ‘em! We’ll fight them off, and then we’ll find you! No matter what it takes! No matter how far he takes you - we WILL find you!”

She grunts as the jaws tighten under her grip, her arms threatening to buckle under the pressure. Still she holds her resolve, looking to her trapped friend.

“We’re not leaving you behind!”

OK! Now that I have a few days off, I've decided to start work on a brand new Jax/Holt fic! I have too many ideas for my own good. Like the last one, it's not going to be a ship fic, mostly focusing on the J/H twins working on their own personal shit. It will have a bit of normie squad in there, plus some worldbuilding for New Salem! When there is such little canon for your fave character(s), you make your own!! I'll rb this post with the finished fic when it's done, so keep your eyes peeled, folks :3

I still have to finish the “proper” reference for him, but. Here’s a new OC/maybe sona? He’s a Koopaling with some Magikoopa influence, named Comet. (I tried very hard to emulate the TTYD style and.. missed a little! In that second image. But that’s ok.) His toyhouse page is right >here< if you want to read about him!
