I need to know more about Kit so badly. Is the star under his eye a tattoo? Was he named Kit before getting assigned to Fox, or did he see Fox and say “I’m your child now”? Is his name in any way related to Kit Fisto?
It is a tattoo! I'm gonna quote a bit from the headcanon post I did about him-
He cried when he got his face tattoo and thought he was a total wimp for it until he met another trooper with a face tattoo who validated that it was in fact extremely painful. (He also didn’t think through the face tattoo. It was an impulse decision and design.) Fox thought that Kit was reapplying a sharpie doodle for three weeks, he’s kind of embarrassed about that.
He named himself Kit before getting assigned to Fox. All the other Corrie commanders took one look at him and decided that his name meant that he was Fox's child. This was because they all knew about Fox's dad instincts, but also that Fox would never admit that he actually wanted something god forbid, so they did the work for him. Fox had no input in that decision but once he was assigned a shiny, he was ride-or-die for the shiny. So it all worked out in the end.
And admittedly, once Kit was informed of his new dad, he did in fact go in 100% on "I'm your child now". So best of both worlds! Fox never once disagreed with him so that shows what he really thought about it even when he claimed he wasn't being a dad.
His name is entirely unrelated to Kit Fisto because I forgot Fisto existed lmao oops- But in an AU where they have reason to meet, they decide to call themselves the Kit Klub and they're pen pals. Fox has no idea why his shiny wants anything to do with a Jedi but he's nothing if not entirely indulgent, so pen pals it is.

vtm: wormwood ; clan bingos of povs
[link to blank bingos]
Monroe
Ashley
Hawthorne
Charlie
Jack
Lex
Masika (new!)
rest of the bingos and commentary under cut bc uh this got kinda long lmao
Tumblr media
Monroe
ofc Monroe got a bingo. God Complex might be strong, but definitely Saviour Complex. Does wayy too much shit. Also, had a weird bit where he genuinely had quite a bit of respect for LaCroix as an enemy...before he was killed. Shame. Also, had a lot in common, as disgraced childer of unsuccessful military backgrounds.
Hard no’s: *claps hands*, Loyalty > Approval (Monroe not-so-secretly craves being admired), Owns a Crown (but he DOES own a sword...), Undisputed (uh yeh, very in dispute)
Tumblr media
Ashley
b-b-bingo. Maybe a bonus bingo, since he does eat food in text sometimes, but I never gave their char sheets merits. 
Hard Yes: Red Lipstick (any colour, dark or sparkly preferred), Never Makes Art (comically useless at it), Siren, Narcissm, Would Sparkle, Anne Rice (literally Spike and Lestat)
Hard No: Humanity 8 (cackles in Humanity 4, which is him on an upswing), Rotten at the Core (...maybe, but he does have some redeeming factors)
Tumblr media
Hawthorne
Unsurprised that she got no bingo, and was denied by Leather Jacket! ahh loser. Atypical Brujahs don’t get bingos. Urban Ventrue ghouls don’t make good Brujahs, who figured.
Hard No: Leather Jacket, Motorcycle, Good Music Ended in the 90s (um, actually the 80s, but she would listen to almost anything), Respects Smiling Jack, Brawl 5 (not anymore), Bros Before Sects/Obvious Anarch (fuck the Anarchs)
Tumblr media
Charlie
Bingo, and not even a free-space one. Probably the hardest one to fill out, though. Charlie’s Cobweb radar is decent and she can sorta make sense of it sometimes or use it to harvest info, but never that useful.
Also, her Great Ideas are mostly unrelated to her Malkavianisms and mostly due to just being a wiseass and smart guy.
Hard Yes: Paranioa, PREMONITION, “Did anyone else hear that?”, Don’t “ugh, a Malkavian” me!
Secretly, she likes that Bedlam calls her a fish. She knows its true. She just grew legs one night and crawled out onto the shores, but she has a natural habitat somewhere that she can’t go back to. Not that anyone wants to hear stuff like that.
Tumblr media
Jack
Jack’s earliest drafts were Brujah and that might still show a bit. He’s not as rough and tumble wilderness dude. More City Gangrel. He has the leather jacket and wants a motorcycle.
But he is a dirt boy animist and part-time rock sorcerer in love with his shapechanges, so maybe he’s Gangrel enough.
Hard No: No Driving License, Becketts (Jack never knew Beckett enough, but he would probably be put off by his obnoxious snide British-isms), Smells Funny (he bathes!), Survival 5
Hard Yes: DONT pet me (sore spot, as a Gangrel), Wants a House in the Woods (kinda has that...), Hell yeah NATURE
Tumblr media
Lex
Ahhh, a better Brujah gets better shapes and multi-bingos AND doesn’t need the free-space. Such a Brujah. Very Brujah. Too poor for a new leather jacket and probably burned their old one 8yrs ago.
Hell No: Surprisingly High Humanity (middling, at best), Quotes Philosopher (you kidding me, they can barely quote themself), Motorcycle (lives in SOMA)
Hell Yes: Everything is Political (risks them friendships), Fuck off (just...everyone), Band T-shirt, Good Music Ended in the 90s, Starts Combat, Obvious Anarch (see above)
Tumblr media
Masika
New POV. A very Tremerey Tremere, apparently. Very excite about her.
Hell Yes: Smartass (more of a deadpan), Getting Lost (new girl!), Secret Reads (probably, but more of a Discworld and Dark Tower girlie), Absolutely Terrified of Fireball (zero combat exp), SUSPICIOUS (fellow Tremere are always up to something, but not her!), Misses the Pyramid (Tremere loyalist)
Hell No: Oops, Forgot to Ward (never forgets, never oops), Secretly Wants a Gargoyle (a WARCRIME? a breaking of the sacred montmartre pact??? never!), Guilty of Most Things (has never done anything wrong in her entire life)

They took. They gave. They wept.
individual versions & rambling below the cut
links!
I gotta be honest trying to think of a dramatic quote for these girls is absolutely impossible they had fucking nothing in common LMAO also I forgot a tag oops. I'm not gonna tag it with the global feed bc I'm a little afraid of shoving an, even relatively simple and artistic, heart at someone's face but maybe that's overly cautious! idk
fun fact! vi was one of my first d&d characters! she's since been ported into several others settings, from cyberpunk to different fantasy (you can see one of them here !) I love her a lot!! this is her first iteration (the white haired one), she's a homebrew blood mage (5e) -> oracle of despair (p2e). edgy creature. baby.
the other two are respectively: elena, heart-woman, and silica, she with The Soul Gem:tm:. they each belong to very dear friends of mine. the campaign is on indefinite haitus so I'm not sure if I'll draw them that often but they've all got a super special place in my heart ♥

6,17 and 10 from ask game for both of them?:3
(from this ask game)
6. How did you choose your OC’s name?
for Dew, it was really hard choosing a name for him at first. he and Anton started out as just basic whumpee and whumper in my head, and then as they were getting a more developed story, i decided to name them. it took a long time naming Dew because i needed a name that fit him and his character really well. i think i just saw the word dew somewhere and thought that was perfect for him, idk why :P
Anton on the other hand.. okay so i’ve done this thing for a while, where basically whenever i see or hear a name i like, i write it down in my notes app to save for later to potentially be a name for an oc. i have a long list of random names i’ve collected over a few years, and when i had to name Anton, i just looked through that list and thought that name suited him. its funny because i’m pretty sure i first heard that name from the amazing world of gumball, and i liked it so i wrote it in my list… so Anton is technically named after a talking piece of toast hahahaha. you’re welcome
17. What are three moments in their life that impacted your OC the most?
Dew
i’d say the moments he first found out he was autistic and transgender (happened at separate times, but i’ll include them as one since they’re similar). they’re both a huge part of him and his identity so obviously after finding that out, it would hugely impact his life and the way he’s viewed by people and himself.
the second is when his parents died,, i always forget to mention this in the chapters which i kinda regret now, because i feel like they’d also be people Dew would think about along with his friends. but yeah… i mentioned in another ask that they died when he was 18, and then i kinda just forgot about them… oops.
the third moment is probablyyy when he was kidnapped by Anton lmao. i mean, it changed his entire life in more ways than one. he has wings now, some other stuff that’s huge spoilers… it’s pretty self explanatory.
Anton:
i mentioned this before as well but Anton was an orphan and was found by his mentor, Pierce, when he was young, and that’s how he kinda became the person he is now. Pierce was a mad scientist and taught Anton everything he knows about science and stuff, so without him, Anton would probably be a normal guy… i mean,, not normal, but you know.
hmmmm there is one hugely impactful moment that happened to Anton but I can’t really talk about it yet because Spoilers… i will say it had to do with his past test subject who’s been mentioned a few times before.
and then finding Dew. again, this one is pretty self explanatory. having his own test subjected impacted the way he did science, but also the way he views other people as well as himself. and like, spoiler stuff in the future, but Dew basically changed his life.
10. Share a sentence of dialogue from your OC that you think represents them well.
Anton: “Me and you, we can accomplish great things together. We already have. You as my lab rat, and me as the scientist, we are unstoppable.” Anton picked up a needle, noticing how Dew’s wings seemed to wrap tighter around his shoulders. “Now, spread out your wings, I wanna test something.”
Dew: “It just, it’s boring…” Dew began. “Just- the only thing I do all day is sit here being poked and prodded and then I’m alone in that room with nothing to do. And- and I miss talking to people,” Dew blinked back tears. “I miss the sky. I miss my pets. I miss- m-my friends.” He wrapped his wings around himself, like a cozy blanket, and cried.”
(couldn’t really decide on a quote from Dew so i just went with that one idk)
thanks for the ask!

Mort by Terry Pratchett Reading Notes
Full Review Here!
So this book also opens with a young person and their parents. As did Equal Rites which I need to restart 
Ok so I didn't take notes as methodically as usual to start But as with Guards Guards it is very funny, with jokes that just keep coming back when you don't expect them. Lots of good bits and parallels 
And the fucking MORPHOGENETIC FIELD fuck 
-i like Mort but he's most certainly going to do some Dumb Shit. He is also very blank slate in terms of protagonists. His most consistent trait is reminding people about his name. Which I imagine will have some payoff 
-I find some of the parallels funny like death clearly taking on Mort to maybe get together with his adopted daughter after his dad talked about that exact thing (in that context seemingly ridiculous). I hope there's more to it than that however. 
-and I do wonder about how succession with Death would even work. As I'm pretty sure Death in this book is the same entity in the whole series 
-not to make this elder scrolls but I guess they could do something like Sheogorath where you Become that person in every significant way after inheriting the role from them. I'm sure there's a better comparison/example lol 
-but Mort could just be a. Friend or something. Which would also be fine 
-I'm sure sexy witch won't be a Thing at all later  
-Listeners hear every sound in Discworld? 
-"light dawned on Mort, but very slowly" lmao 
-ok Death showing up to someone who perpetually reincarnates is a little bit funny. What Is the point 
-'cut the heir with a knife' what a pun. Insane 
- interesting to frame Mort saving Keli from her perspective. So we don't know exactly what he thought as he did it. And this was presumably a Very Bad Thing since she was supposed to die and he killed the assassin instead? 
-so many anachronistic similies and metaphors. I guess that is appropriate for this book specifically 
-also idk if this is relevant at all. But Keli not dying has a big butterfly effect, obviously. But what about the assassin? Who were they? How would their death change things? 
-i have to imagine no one really noticing you exist suddenly without being FULLY non existent would be pretty awful 
-"there's no justice. There's just you" will this come around again to a "just us" 
-ok Ysabelle kinda goth. Which like obviously, but nice  
-oops! You made a split timeline 
-theres something interesting about this? Border? Between realities an 'interface'. Cause that has a very specific meaning in 2024, but I bet it read different in 1987. At least a little 
-i like the narrative dropping A Big Hint for the reader by noting how the character did not notice it 
-the description of how Mort has changed might be The Quote 
-a fan of something being so real it's uncanny. Especially in the realm of fiction. Gives me Inkheart thoughts 
-ok the whole thing with Mort being able to walk through doors and walls was introduced EARLY and continues to be so. And Death seemed to consider it normal. But what causes it? Why does it only work sometimes? 
-this is a fairly familiar plot where you change 1 thing in history and everything else changes as a butterfly effect. The main difference so far is it being a delayed reaction. I want to see if Pratchett does something different with it otherwise 
-capital L Logic "taking the night off too" 
-so a split timeline will heal itself but Mort is going to fuck it up again? 
-a fucking island named KRULL? No way, no fucking way. Hold on I have to look something up 
-2 thing I learned googling Krull: the MOVIE Krull came out in 1983, 4 years before this book. So it is very plausible Pratchett knew of it. Second thing is Liam Neeson was in it, which I was somehow unaware of or forgot 
-"why did you save me?" "... for later" God damn why is Pratchett clever 
-Mort suddenly scary! And here I think is the first bit where he doesn't say "Mort" when someone calls him boy. Instead he's scary about it. So. That's a fun play on what I expected. 
-we have. Switched to present tense. I see 
-im not sure what this revelation about Malich is supposed to be implying. Maybe I missed something. I think the only person we don't know anything about it Deaths butler? Guy? 
-oh yeah. Albert is his name. And the famous wizard is Alberto Malich. So Death like. Adopted a famous wizard who's now like. A cook? 
-my biggest area of criticism with this book is I just have zero investment in Mort's obsession with this random princess. Like it's an objectively stupid thing to cause so much trouble over. Doesn't even know her. Maybe that's the point but it's hard with no investment whatsoever in it 
-A PET SWAMP DRAGON??? I UNDERSTAND THAT REFERENCE (read: the only other book I've read in this series) 
-trying to imagine how shooting Mort would even work. 
-it is difficult to convey how clever & funny Death's alternate typeface is when it shows up unexpectedly. Just an oh shit moment every time. 
-'if you win, you will [do this] ' 'and if I lose?' 'You will wish you had won' what a fucking threat lmao 
-update: shooting Mort did not work. 
-i know this book predates "bucket list" as a term but that is nevertheless what Death seems to be doing 
-god I thought the bit was gonna be that Death can't get drunk and then he DOES halfway through the scene. Then manually stops being drunk
-bartender: 'well at least this weird hooded figure seems to be harmless' (it's literally Death)
-no way can Albert be a wizard, he doesn't wear a wizard hat! So true bestie 
-i know Ysabell is probably like The Actual Love Interest but it is a little cute that Mort got so angry at people not using his name but went back to just correcting when Ysabell did it 
-theres a whole shelf! Aw fuck do we have a doctor who situation or some shit 
-no he's just been alive that long ig. Wonder if this character shows up elsewhere 
-Death at a job broker.... 
-Oh my GOD *THAT* was the payoff for the "Mort." bit! A fucking typeface wham line. Jesus christ that's good lmao  
-"Death must be the loneliest creature in the universe" either sounds like a quote from some ancient philosopher or an 80s prog rock album. But nope, Pratchett. 
-ysabell girlboss 
-kinda feel bad for Death finding happiness and the implication being he can't keep it. Unless Mort does actually become Death 
-and there's the idea of becoming real becoming more like death. All in a fictional story of course. 
-ok I am Compelled, finally, by Morts transformation. 
-i do really like how the "Mort." bit has extended throughout the book to convey his character arc and even got integrated into the storytelling in a meta way with the Death typeface. 
-this presents the idea of a human becoming Death as Really Bad because if you apply human morality and emotion to it, Death becomes cruel. Which sounds philosophical as fuck and all, but it brings to mind all the terrible things humans have done when inflicting death on others. It is comforting to think of Death as neutral from the perspective of an uncaring universe-- all things die, no matter what, but likewise, its hard as a human to see Death that way within the context of lives and experiences. 
-but there is some positivity to the overall story so I am interested to see the "good" side if there is one. I'm not sure there is 
-Mort is a blank slate character, i think intentionally so, so that as he develops we see how his mistakes and the worst sides of his personality manifest as he matures and becomes more Real, like Death. The actual Death character isn't cruel but when Mort is given the opportunity he makes selfish decisions (rescuing Keli) and cruel (how he treats Albert in this scene). So then my question is where do his Best traits manifest? Is it impossible for then to, in this context and with this kind of power? 
-man Mort is so mean to Ysabell. 
-the fucking speech check war between the Emperor and Vizier was pretty funny 
-oh hey, The Librarian cameo. And.. Albert called him a monkey. Oh dear. Also isn't Rincewind a protag in another series 
-"THERE'S NO JUSTICE," said Mort. "THERE'S JUST US."  --- Oh my god I fucking called it I CALLED IT I KNEW they were gonna use that line holy shit 
-"You are whatever you think you are" hell yeah 
-at least Ysabell punched Mort in the face. He kind of deserved it 
-shout out to The Librarian killing Albert lmfao 
-the elephant gets drunk and sees pink people 
-i mean good for the elephant going home. Ok king 
-i like the implication that the speed of night is faster than the speed of light 
-oh so we do get to play a game with Death? At the end? 
-"were all lives--from a personal viewpoint-- entirely the same length?" I mean okay damn 
-i like Mort thinking "you'll never beat him... the best we can do is hold him off for a while" about Death, but in the context of like. A duel. 
-i mean YEAH you CAN turn hourglasses over! Obviously! That's how they work! 
-the weight of a pearl, huh 
-I like closing the story with Mort reading his own book and that becoming the last of the narration 
Hmm ok! So I liked it. But have some mixed thoughts. I'll need to gather them together 
First off I loved the writing, Pratchett really was clever and had very unique and humorous ways of saying things. Stuff like "her voice could have kept milk fresh for a month" instead of "her voice was icy". And its not just wordplay but situations themselves. It is difficult to convey just how much clever stuff there is in the book because it would 
overwhelm anything else. I think that this is probably true for most of the Discworld books and is at least in part why they're so beloved. I have a hard time thinking of other writers with quite this knack for clever humor in such a nonstop abundance. There's stuff like this book introducing the detail that every person has a book being written that narrates their life, then closing out the book with Mort reading from his, and then using that as the closing narration. Like that's cool and brilliant. 
I like Morts character arc and how he goes from a blank slate to something more in order to convey how being Death's apprentice changes him. There is also fun worldbuilding and creativity on how Death's actual job works, with the tongue and cheek acknowledgement that even this is a personification and not really real. 
Deaths typeface is used as an honest to God wham line which is probably the only example I've seen of... a font conveying a plot twist. I guess technically this also happens in other Discworld scenes where Death shows up unexpectedly. But in this particular story it's not Death saying it which is why its so shocking. 
My main struggle with Mort is I had a hard time caring about or being invested in the main plot. For example, the inciting incident that kicks off the main plot is Mort making a selfish decision to save the life of a princess who is destined to die, purely because he has a shallow crush on her. I know it's intentional that their relationship doesn't really matter and is just surface level. But theres nothing to make me care about it at all, and when him doing this AND KEEPING IT SECRET FROM DEATH is the main source of narrative tension, it's a problem when I can't find any reason to care about it. 
The plot itself is very... loose I guess. It's a collection of scenes and vignettes a lot of the time that are only tangentially related to the story. Which is fine, but this makes the problem of investment in the story even harder for me. I was suddenly very compelled when Mort started to transform into Death and the personal issues of identity, human behavior, etc that this introduces. It just felt like that's what the story should have been about the whole time. 
Basically what carried me through the book was the clever prose and humorous scenes/situations. Which again, is fine! I definitely enjoyed reading Mort. It just didn't amaze me as a story. 
Probably the funniest thing is you could remove Albert from the story entirely and it wouldn't change anything. Like slightly rework the scene at the University near the end and you're set. It felt like Pratchett realized we needed a villain in the third act and assigned that role to a random side character so Albert was evil, briefly, then not as soon as Death dealt with it. Just felt very oddly paced and structured 
There are loose ends that did not get concluded and I'm not sure if this means they are explored in greater depth later. For example Mort bungles one Death collection and a witch's soul escapes mortality. Another is this persistent idea/theme of what's "real". We explore it a little but never to its conclusion. Mort gets a pearl which is supposedly a piece of reality he created. And there's the idea of one reality happening when it shouldn't and how the universe reacts to it. But it's very mechanical (literally turns into an artifact) and the thematic implications are still up in the air 
Anyway I'm thinking 7/10 cause it was good and a fun read, just didn't floor me

books! 7, 9, 12, 21, 23, 39
(realized i forgot to send this oops)
oh yes BOOK ASKS TOO THANK U NATE WOOHOO
7. how many physical books do you own?
-oh man a LOT lmao, if we count my novels and manga together....I'd say at least a couple hundred?
9. do you have a favorite author?
-probablyyyy Haruki Murakami - Idk if that's considered a cliche answer but he's weird and I like him. (1Q84 is my fav book of his; Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World a close second)
12. which book will you read next?
-honestly when I answered the last couple of book questions and remembered This Is How You Lose the Time War I really want to read that one now JKSDLFJKS so probably that one!
21. do you prefer to read or listen?
-READ absolutely - there's nothing wrong with listening at ALL but my attention slides off listening to books (this is why, while I'd LOVE to listen to more podcasts, I've only listened to a few because I need to be like drawing while I listen to remain focused) - when I read I can focus all my attention on the page!
23. what book to movie adaptation do you love?
-I know it's a series and not a movie but honestly I think the best book-to-visual-media adaptation I've ever seen was s1 of GO, it was just about perfect.
39. favorite quote from your favorite book?
-oh man we got a HoL tie here because I love these two equally:
"You shall be my roots and I will be your shade, though the sun burns my leaves. You shall quench my thirst and I will feed you fruit, though time takes my seed. And when I’m lost and can tell nothing of this earth you will give me hope. And my voice you will always hear. And my hand you will always have. For I will shelter you. And I will comfort you. And even when we are nothing left, not even in death, I will remember you."
and
"What's real or isn't real doesn't matter here. The consequences are the same."

make me choose meme - Anonymous asked: Robin or Guy
“War is here, it’s right here in the forest. He was an ordinary Englishman, he tilled the fields, he loved his wife, he cared for his children. […] Then he was forced to go to the Holy Land to fight. Look at him, a pitiful shadow of a man. Every day good men like Harold are destroyed out there. Only peace can put a stop to this.”

english dub giveth (LOOKIN' GOOD YAMCHA/that whole gay stare down at the 22nd tournament/when Tien called Yamcha a bit too cheesey with the one liners) and english dub taketh (Man, Yamcha/tri-beam/"I might just be a pothole in the road to you big guy, but its going to be one heck of a deep pothole!")
i have a lot of feelings towards the english dub In Sincerity but as far as im concerned i'll let most of my grievances slide because it has shit like tien bullying trunks about his shoe size and for being so secretive while yamcha's bullying him too and wondering why he can't also have a secret name
