#the mystery dungeon brainworms

What it feels like coming across some guy looking like some god in the middle of the desert casually tearing apart the land and he spots you.

I'm this close to making a PMD AU, but like, the cast is digimon in the pokemon world, so there digimon everyone else is a pokemon and it's all a bit confusing for everyone. And also they have their memories, cause I think it actually becomes even more confusing for them if they retain memories from Survive instead of getting amnesia-d.

Plus I just...I just think it be fun if they were an exploration team, y'know?

had a long drive this weekend and had a lot of time to think about things — one of those things has been this brainworm:

A series where fjord and jester get stocks set up in a room on one of their boats

perhaps Fjord and Jester end up fighting off a pirate ship that tries to fuck with them and stealing their set of stocks from the dungeon. Jester is all gung ho on using them as their ‘torture chamber’ so they can prank mean pirates and get them to confess where their treasure is

Jester deserves to have stocks!!!

one where she shows them to Caleb - she gets him to sit in them even though he’s like hmm this seems like a bad idea and she’s like no no it’s fine I just wanna show you them really quick — and then tickles him

one where she shows them to Essek and gets him to try them out too, offers to help him with his spellcasting

and / or one where after showing them to Caleb she comes upon him and Essek in the room using them and she’s like omg omg omg you GUYSYSSSS and they’re like no we’re- we’re studying! It- it was an idea to help with concentration and casting focus!

Jester immediately offers to be both of their concentration coaches and insists she needs to build a second set of stocks so they can study together

one where Beau insists she’d never break under torture especially something as silly as tickling and jester invites her to try

afterword Beau is like fuck you next time you’re going in there and jester is like Yes How About Right Now Please :) and hops up

she invites Kingsley to try them out for another one perhaps, maybe also one where she invites Kingsley to help her get fjord or Caleb in them bddhfjfjgk

a cute little role playing silliness where Captain Tusktooth is interrogating a mysterious pirate wench / stowaway (Jester) in the stocks “I’ll never talk! You can’t make meHEHE!”

(Hnnnrnr maybe something with an npc where jester is like omg guys. I have an idea. Let’s take her to my torture chamber wahahaha she’ll talk. And she tickles her.?. Non con maybe kinda. Evil torturer trickster jester??? Hello???? She’s being thorough and silly and trying to get the truth. “Well I don’t have Zone of Truth prepared today- buuuuuut I can think of another way to get the truth.”)

#I had a lot of hours to ruminate #critickle role #jester deserves a nice big set of stocks #maybe a chair with restraints to hold their arms up too #I NEED TO WRITE THE THING. ESP THE ONE OF THE EVIL CAPTAIN TUSKTOOTH STOWAWAY PIRATE SPY JESTER IN THE STOCKS - I NEED THEM TO BE SILLY #‘oh admiral😍😍😍’ jester voice lol. #but make it knismo #all tieflings are knismos #that is my agenda #critical role #tickle ideas #stocks #mine #thoughts #cr #cr tickling #fic ideas #Mayhaps I shall write some of these #ideally all of them #I also love the mental image of lime #jester hearing noise and coming downstairs and she finds Caleb or Essek in the stocks and the other one tickling them and she’s like gUYSWH #and they’re both just like furiously red #then maybe she commissions them a set of stocks for Caleb’s house #he sets up an extra room in the tower eheh #anYWAY #I had a lot of time to think about this and was very stoned for part of it #ps I meant like not lime earlier but I’m not deleting and writing all these tags over

Dunmeshi au brainworms.

Peter the scared as shit accidental killer machine human fighter

Bob the unnaturally good at magic studious Halfling dungeon trap and treasure geek

Justus the miracle puzzle solver plan maker mystery nerd dwarf who doesn't know shit about mining and weapons except geological facts, and is. Insanely obsessed with the dungeon and its monsters and secrets. Maybe a bit too much. Justus DO NOT STICK YOUR HAND IN THERE-

#die drei fragezeichen #justus jonas #peter shaw #bob andrews #it came to me in a vision #justus could also make a banger gnome and tbh bob would be even cuter as an elf #but the idea of peter having just. a GINORMOUS height gap with bith of them is such a good image

Still have those Nerevarine Taylor Hebert brainworms. The more I think about it and trawl through UESP, the more the coincidences and thematic parallels jump out at me. Sleep-deprived ramblings and massive spoilers below the cut.

Starting off, y'know how Gold Morning wraps up on June 24th? Let's see if that date has any significance on Nirn:

Oh, okay. So, she suddenly appears in the dungeons beneath the Imperial City on Tiber's Day. Y'know, the day celebrating the Dragon Emperor. That might be relevant for the prophecy stating that the Nerevarine is "Dragon-born and far-star-marked." It also casts some iiiinteresting parallels between her and old Talos Stormcrown.

How about being born under a certain sign? Well, Taylor's birthday is canonically in June/Mid Year, which corresponds to the Steed constellation. Nothing too special there, right?

Ah. Hm. The Dwemer, who are kind of a big deal when it comes to the plot of Morrowind, represented the Steed as a scarab. As you may recall, Taylor once rode a giant scarab beetle (best boy Atlas) as a steed. And, y'know, Khepri is a scarab-headed god in Egyptian mythology. The scarab imagery also appears repeatedly in the metaphysics of The Elder Scrolls, in things like the Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec and the Mythic Dawn Commentaries. It also appears in Kirkbride's Notes on the Psijic Endeavor and Loveletter from the Fifth Era. This bears further inquiry.

The Psijic Endeavor is "a process by which mortals are charged with transcending the gods that created them," which sounds awfully familiar to those familiar with the ending of Worm. It formed the basis of the teachings of the Prophet Veloth, who led the ancient Chimer to the land of Morrowind. Its rules were taught to him by the daedra Boethiah, Mephala, and Azura. These are the "Three Good Daedra" revered by the Dunmer of Morrowind. In the Tribunal faith, they are seen as the Anticipations of the living gods Almalexia, Vivec, and Sotha Sil. But they also can be viewed as parallels of another.

Boethiah is the Daedric Prince "whose sphere is deceit and conspiracy, and the secret plots of murder, assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority." It is not a stretch to call him the Anticipation of Skitter, the thief-turned-warlord.

Mephala is known as The Webspinner, who taught the Dunmer "meticulous plotting and how to lie, ways to lure and trap our foes, how to manage complexity and predict outcomes." They are the Anticipation of Weaver, the scheming hero.

Azura is the Prince of Dusk and Dawn, and is "associated with mystery and magic, fate and prophecy." She is the Anticipation of Khepri, champion of the prophesied Gold Morning.

At this point, it's probably worth mentioning that the Tribunal, living god-hero-kings of Morrowind, first became such and usurped the Good Daedra in Dunmeri culture by siphoning power from the heart of a god. Meanwhile, the Triumvirate, the greatest heroes of Earth Bet, got their powers from the flesh of a dead Entity. And both trios concealed the nature of their power in order to present an image of unassailable strength, even as they grew fractured and weak. What a fun parallel!

Still, we're not here to talk about the Tribunal and the Triumvirate. Who cares about them? We're here to talk about Taylor Hebert, Lorkhan, and why Taylor is OBVIOUSLY a Shezarrine.

No, seriously, bear with me. Okay, so, Lorkhan (whose severed heart is at the root of the whole plot of of Morrowind) is said to walk the world of Nirn in mortal form. This mortal incarnation, the Shezarrine, appears in times of great need, "gathering armies, conquering lands, ruling, then abandoning his kingdoms to wander again." Famous appearances of the Shezarrine include Pelinal Whitestrake, Ysmir Wulfharth, and Tiber Septim. Yes, that Tiber Septim. The one upon whose day Taylor defeated Scion with a jury-rigged jailbroken superpower. The one who jury-rigged the soul of a Shezarrine into a power source for a weapon meant only to be powered by the physical heart of Lorkhan and used it to conquer the world.

Now, it might be a bit of a stretch to say that Taylor Hebert, parahuman teenager from Earth Bet, is the mortal incarnation of the Missing God. And yeah, she probably wasn't during the events of Worm. But in the metaphysics of The Elder Scrolls, there's this thing called mantling, wherein one can assume the role of another by "walk[ing] like them until they must walk like you." Essentially, one so closely emulates another being until the two are indistinguishable to the world at large. This is arguably what the protagonist of Morrowind does during the course of the game; by deliberately setting out to satisfy the conditions of the Nerevarine prophecies, they walk like the Nerevarine until they ARE the Nerevarine. And Taylor? Well, she's already done a LOT of walking like a Shezarrine.

Remember that bit about the scarab imagery earlier? Yeah, well, Lorkhan is explicitly called "the Scarab" in The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon Ten. The Psijic Endeavor? Though spread by the Daedra, its originates from Lorkhan. He saw the whole of creation from a sideways angle, and sought to teach others so that they might one day do the same and "transcend mortal boundaries set in place by immortal rulers."

Scarab-headed Khepri transcended the limits imposed on her power, saw the whole of existence by way of the Clairvoyant, and raised an army of mortal parahumans to overthrough the "god" that made them. Her work done, she abandoned her kingdom to go wander again.

Anyways, I hope this was at least somewhat coherent for something written after an all-nighter of playing a twenty-year-old video game and diving deep into the UESP wiki and The Imperial Library. There are a fair few more things I wanna talk about, like how the daedra of the Four Corners of the House of Troubles tie into Taylor's journey in Worm, or the parallels between Scion during Gold Morning and the Numidium during C0DA, but I reeeeaaally should go sleep now.

To close things out, here's a pic of Taylor learning about all this mythic prophecy bullshit from Nibani Maesa, Wise Woman of the Urshilaku Ashlanders:

The urge to play Mystery Dungeon is fighting my brainworms and my sense of Needing To Be Productive. It's currently a stalemate.

The only other thing that can go is sleep but I don't think I want anything bad enough for that rn

(one day I'll add the PMD tags to these posts but for now I am too afraid of The Algorithm spoiling me)

[bladewards]

Knee-deep in brainworms about my PMD headverse that takes place a thousand or so years after humans, and some gods, are wiped off the earth due to Human Hubris and the loss of some important deities results in space-time distortions creating the familiar phenomenon of mystery dungeons.

Hey, lit, 20+ rper on discord looking for a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon rp! I've had a major brainworm in my head about pmd but with a Made In Abyss inspired setting- i can give a run down of the premise of that if you arent familiar! I've got an idea in mind for a hisuian zorua oc, and i'd like to play him against an older, world-weary former explorer/delver! Looking for affection-turned-romance with my 🫶muse possibly being the instigator. Fine with all the dead dove stuff that comes with the MiA territory- gore, violence, horror, etc. and we can talk limits and stuff in dm! The only thing i'm uncertain on is full nsfw since i dont believe i could write it well- so fading to black would be my go-to probably. Please be as into world building as i am- i really wanna flesh this out with somebody! Like and i'll reach out with specifics!

Leave a like, and anon will get back to you!

also here’s a little mun intro!  hi, i’m allie, she/her or they/them, 20, est timezone.  i’m a compsci major who writes things on the side.  i’ve rp’d on this site on and off for...  god, it may be 6 years now?  love that for me.  i came back because God I Sure Do Miss Writing With Folks Besides Myself, and i’ve never really played therion before.  figured i might as well give him a spin since he’s been living rent-free in my brain ever since i chose him as my first traveler.

i’ve been sticking off twitter for a while, but i’m slowly getting back to it so i’m over there at astronomicallie if that matters!!  i’ll give my discord out upon request (feel weird having it out in the open), so if you wanna chat hmu!

what could we chat about, you ask?  i’ve recently been into persona 5, fire emblem (three houses gave me brainworms, hate that for me), and ace attorney.  but i’m into lots of stuff, idk!!

i never fail to go nuts over pokemon mystery dungeon (the explorers of arc... quality), the to the moon series, and howl’s moving castle (book&movie).  i say this because i feel like that gives a good idea of who i am as a person.

now, this thing feels long enough!!  i’ll try to get a starter ad out soon, thanks for having me.  <3
