#wandering between worlds

[mumblelard]

this week, i saw a tree crushed house, fallie hiding tiny zombies in finn's hair, a dead man's dungeon master's manual, a mandala sketched in mud, a deck of colorful cairns, a pretty girl sleeping in my bed

i am not afraid of the cold or the little discomforts from walking wet in the chilly wind and still there is always a moment in winter when the time between rambles grows. it feels good and right but bears careful watching

#stacks #and #stores #boba #sits #shedding dead limbs #rivers #rambles #rumblings of rumblings of ruin #doppelganger #bootlegs #cairns made of brightly colored lines #wandering between worlds #actors in the divine drama #torn and frayed #tattered meniscus #tainted mud #i want to be a turtle when i grow up #i like the sound of glass when it smashes #and that would fix everything #second blue moon epoch #first winter

I don't know where I'm from. My earliest memory is arriving. I was so lucky they found me! They took me in, raised me like one of their own, and when I was ready, they made me their princess.

#mario movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario bros #princess peach #super mario bros movie #super mario bros movie spoilers #cherrysip edits #mario movie was like ' let me just drop some wild new lore in here and then not come back to it in any way' lolol #DOES PEACH HAVE PARENTS BACK IN THE REGULAR WORLD THAT MOURN HER TO THIS VERY DAY???? #i don't know how feasible this would be but it feels like you could do some research to look up reports of missing children matching her #description over the last couple of decades and see if anything intriguing comes up :O #but i do love how this makes the relationship between peach and the toads so much more emotional and meaningful #they're not just her subjects. they saved her and gave her a loving home!!! they are her family and she would do anything for them!!! #they cared for her and now she cares for them even if it requires self-sacrifice #(another intriguing detail: the castle already exists here. did the toads have another monarch before this???) #(have they just been making unsuspecting humans wandering through the pipe royalty for hundreds of years????? HMM)

idk they are turning into an oc... i like drawing it

#the plants aren't necessarily part of their design but i have it in my mind that they're mostly defined by the world they exist in #so the plants are kind of here to help indicate their emotional state to the viewer i suppose since i don't want to draw full bgs for this #like in whatever situation they're in that's making them have to crouch the plants seem like arteries and are bright red and #lacking harmony between them to feel like panic / adrenaline rush kind of feeling #and they'll be in an environment where the plants are more lush and flowy when feeling a more relaxed or subtle mood #oc #art #dragon #digital art #drawing #creature #they don't really have a name (yet?) but i keep calling them things like traveller/wanderer/ other such synonyms

stupid dungeon meshi au where laios is an unexplainable eldritch monster thing that constantly eats anything he can get his hands on. everyone in the party treats him like a slightly disorderly raccoon. everyone outside the party gets a fastpass to heaven from just seeing him.

#people meeting the touden party for the first time: GET YO FUCKIN DOG BITCH #falin: he don't bite :) #to some people he's so incomprehensible that he circles right back around to being some white guy #izutsumi joining and properly seeing laios: you're seeing that thing right. i can't be hallucinating you're seeing this shit too right. #marcille and chilchuck who just see some dude: yea it's just our token male tallman #nothing changes in the first half of dungeon meshi except falin didn't die but laios ate the red dragon and thistle forcibly kicks them out #the second half of the story is everyone desperately trying to hide laios from the canaries #while the man himself wanders off to hunt for winged lion meat #kabru: ok so hear me out. the touden party aren't hiding anything haha no falin's brother goes to another dungeon. #but theoretically if he was in the dungeon right now and he was also an ancient eldritch monster capable of eating the world what would u d #mithrun: ...there's another touden? #the winged lion is fucking terrified of laios. the winged lion does not know if eldritch monsters can eat demons. #the winged lion is about to find out. #finale of this au is a kaiju battle between the demon and laios #laios #laios touden #laios thorden #falin touden #falin thorden #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi spoilers #my art #fanart #art #doodle #don't repost or your tibia is going in the broth next

also okay i'm guilty of this as well because i was ignoring reality a bit too much for the sake of silly plotlines but i AM curious to hear from the larger fandom about why we all kind of collectively assumed that like. life was Normal after the doodler's release. like, the kiddads being in school, everything functioning as is level of normal. because like... maybe it started out that way and at first it was just like how early s2 was going (with a few incursions/sauced people) but look at how the world is now. in the span of just a few years san dimas is overrun and on fire and that's only partially due to willy most of it was the mayor! and we've Seen the other realm, old earth- it's bad. explicitly so bad that you lose yourself just being in that environment for too long. that was the world that the dads + kiddads inhabited before code purple so like... idk. this is why i think my problem with the twins during last episode's ending was not that they were teaching kids how to fight and use guns because look at the world they were in. it's apocalyptic! there's a reason the kiddads had to get involved in DADDIES so quickly! and like. i do think that gets lost a little bit when we reflect on like. the hellscape that was pre-code purple. it wasn't just your normal day to day life it was actively apocalyptic.

#dndads #dndads spoilers #kasey rambles #i really am curious if this is just my worldview being biased #where i was raised learning gun safety + how to shoot is pretty normal so like hkahsdkfhadskhf #thats not what i was mad at the twins for #i was mad at lark specifically for letting normal wander around unsupervised and that was it #but yeah i feel like. the apocalyptic setting is NOT fully utilized in between season world building #shaking anthony by the shoulders. how fucked up was it all. please i must know-

what all creatures exist in your fae!au?

Anything that's appeared in myths or folktales, including the spooky ones, some of which I deeply dislike but gotta stick to the rules.

Creatures tend to stay to their home turf, but they don't have to. You're not likely to see a yeti in the middle of a city but that doesn't mean they don't exist. That said I hesitate to get too mythical monsterful. The modern age has been very adapt or die for most creatures. So things like dragon's probably don't exist anymore in this world, or if they do they don't make themselves known.

That said there are exceptions to every rule, if you have an idea who am I to stop you? I'm just some weirdo on the internet playing with soldier barbie dolls.

#ghoul speaks #the setting is UK adjacent so most of the creatures are vaguely european but the world is so interconnected these days #im sure there are creatures from all over the place wandering the city #i think of the fae as the middlemen between creatures and humans #they have space all over the world and can sorta pop between continents #the fae wild is crazy ljke that

sometimes i cant help but think about the enemy pokemon u find in mystery dungeons and the in-universe reasons for why theyre Like That. like. i know we have a bunch of examples in each game for pokemon that attack u for various reasons (misunderstandings, guarding something, gone berserk from outside influence, just an asshole, etc) but whats going on with the hundreds of mons that spawn INSIDE the mystery dungeons. like those things are already weird even though theyre well known by most residents and they appear pretty much anywhere but theres tons of pokemon that straight up live in those places. and while some have good reason to wander and attack intruders there, some are just. why. why are there Enemy Pokemon in a Mystery Dungeon next to a School. who are you people.

#and like . ok pmd1 mons are influenced by the natural disasters pmd2 are influenced by time pmd3 by despair and pmd4 by. despair again ? #but theyre still like. sentient. right. #also the fact that there are canonically criminals in the pmd world but wheres the line between that and residents of a mystery dungeon #closest thing i can think of that vaguely answers any of this is the spiritomb from the dark future but even thats an extreme AND rare case #it feels like a weird cross between animals just being animals in nature and then. society and everything that comes w that #why are there even cops in pmd anyway.. #more importantly why is there a mystery dungeon next to the school. was it already there when they built the school #or did they somehow generate one???????? theres no way right #why did they think that was a good idea. mystery dungeons are famously dangerous and these mons are like yknow whatd be great #what if we took a bunch of 10 year olds (maximum.) and let them explore one of the most dangerous things known to monkind #yeah thatll be a nice fun learning experience . #< psmd is so goddamn weird (i love it tho i swear) #i would love to know what mystery dungeons would be like without all the game mechanics..... #some of them wouldnt have floors necessarily like the forests n stuff but some would.. the ever-changing layout still applies tho.. #would traps be a thing. or random items just laying around #would kecleon shops even exist inside dungeons realistically. i feel like thatd be awful for business #no no going back to the fuckin school thing. theres literal groups OFFICIAL groups of pokemon made specifically to traverse the dungeons #like most pokemon dont casually wander around those things unless they live there. so why on earth is there one for the SCHOOL #pmd

Tuvok makes a holoprogram that’s literally just a complicated system of caves with many outlooks that allow you to gaze at the majestic Vulcan scenery and whenever he’s in there he’s there for hours, ostensibly exploring. Janeway goes in to find him one day and after traversing through the complicated system of caves she makes it out onto the cliff where he’s literally curled up on a large cushion, fast asleep. Janeway smiles, thinking about how she’s definitely going to poke fun at him but actually that pillow looks pretty comfortable and there’s another one really close...surely Tuvok wouldn’t mind if she rested for a bit. She did travel all this way and- (she also falls asleep and Chakotay has to come get them both)

#Tuvok #Kathryn Janeway #<- people who miss the sun and also being in non stressful environments #Chakotay finds them after like FOUR hours of wandering through caves and is torn between being annoyed and laughing out loud #that they're both just completely knocked out....snorkmimimi'ng without a care in the gd world.... #st voyager #fake star trek voyager episodes my beloved #Tuvok is very tightly curled up as he sleeps and Janeway is sprawled out but they are both snoring and that IS important

All the recent "Downpour and base game are separate canons/timelines" discussion got me thinking

What happens when The Watcher DLC comes out? Is it another timeline branching out from the base game? Will it reference Downpour?

#rain world #rw downpour #rw the watcher #nightcat #just the title “the watcher” and the steam pics give me the image of a wanderer who can see between timelines #saint could be trying to unify the strands of time. the watcher could merely be exploring them. or maybe even more 👀

I feel like fandom needs to talk more about the absolute delight that was the reveal of Christopher Pike’s command codes.

#star trek strange new worlds #not really a spoiler #all those who wander #christopher pike #I’d say una memorized those codes on her first day #but i think everybody did #i adore how the show walks this gorgeous line between pike the brilliant and pike the ridiculous #thank you star trek strange new worlds

concept that just tackled me out of nowhere and is now chewing on my brain: BW protag who disappeared bc they got sent off to be a PMD protag

#i'm sure it's been done before given the *checks notes* 12 years of fandom i missed out on #since 'send them to the pmd world' is basically the original 'send them to hisui' #only sort of related but: #augh oh man i should do something with that 'pmd explorers heroes end up in normal pkmn and stumble into the plot of bw' fic i started #i only wrote like three scenes but that was a fun one. ft pmd protag alex meeting n and immediately trying to throw hands #because she's a postapocalyptic gremlin child/professional dungeon crawler who only knows violence and pokemon friendship #and cheren and bianca wandering around in the background alternating between trying to help and going 'what is #wrong with this kid we found unconscious on the beach and her terrifying grovyle' #(grovyle is there because his story is parallel to n's in a lot of ways. partner is there too but he's less intimidating) #uhh that got really sidetracked i forgot how much i liked that fic idea #oncilla speaks #oncilla writes

Just found the last Maiamai!

…slightly disappointed bc I’m running out of things to do

#skies plays games #skies plays albw #a link between worlds #two more pieces of heart and the last DAMN piece of master ore and albw will be 100% once i finish the last boss fight #yes i’m delaying on purpose #the maiamai quest was fun bc sometimes i would see or hear one but not know how to get it down from there #or what item i needed to locate #(titan’s mitt. i needed the titan’s mitt.) #but i could *find* them #it wasn’t just wandering around hopelessly going ‘i wonder where it is’ #the squeaking was a little grating but as a mechanic? i can appreciate it #as expected i remember absolutely none of this #means i get to experience it all over again! #unexpected bonuses of trauma-related memory loss

[scionshtola]

revealing my own personal standards for “most fuckable” but i don’t think how easy or hard it is to get with a character is that relevant 🤔

#to me. obviously #in my mind it’s more of a correlation between like. how how you personally find them and how worthwhile you think the experience would be #sorry to talk about friends the tv show but #you know that ep where ross and rachel make a hall pass list and he puts isabella rossellini on it but then takes her off bc everyone #convinces him he’s not likely to see her. and also we know if he does she’s not likely to agree! #but she’s still at the top of his list mentally even when he takes her off. to me that’s what this is about agdhsjsk #cori would be up there even if she’d have to suddenly discover she harbored feelings for you for 3 years without her knowing it #before it could ever happen #but i can’t vote for them not just bc they would hate it but bc i prefer to think of everyone #in eorzea thinking of them as like a benevolent woodland creature who wandered into their midst and inspires a sudden but strong devotion #to protecting them and all that is good in the world #which may or may not rank them high on a list of fuckability. #anyway. i can eat my breakfast now #i need a text post tag #scream. how *HOT you personally find them. i’m not fixing that

I'm feeling absolutely bonkers rn so I wanna talk about music again because I'm crazy about the OST of this game so!!!! Here I go!

I've been thinking about Raiden and Wanderer's themes a lot and I love how they contrast - so, you have Raiden, who like. Her theme starts OFF strong and triumphant you have the horns you got the drums and everything is crescendoing and you feel it in your soul and your bones and then it drops and it's more muted but then by the middle of the song it crescendos again like thunder do you feel me it's about insane power all at once and then it's gone and it builds and builds and builds again and that's the cycle!!!

Whereas with Wanderer it starts off gentle and slow but there's a steady beat that only gets stronger as the song progresses and unlike Raiden who starts off virtually capturing your soul with the baseline this song steadily keeps on moving and building and building it's like a gentle hand that gently takes yours and begins to walk with you and gradually gets faster and faster until you both are virtually on the wings of the angels, running as fast as you can possibly go!!! Power showcased in completely different ways and I love love love them both Raiden is like power just. In who she is you LOOK at her and you know she'll mess you UP but in Wanderer's case he's like. A wild card who seems unassuming but is extremely dangerous if not taken seriously it's like dormant. Dormant power. Do you feel me.

AUGHHH I LOVE THIS GAME'S SOUNDTRACK IT'S SO GOOD IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY PLEASE TALK. TALK TO ME ABOUT IT .

#she is thunder and lightning and he is the winds TOGETHER they are the storm that is approaching #PROVOKING.. BLACK CLOUDS AND ISOLATION..!!!! #you want raiden for meta and pretty and hot and girlboss i (maybe kind of not really) want raiden solely for reuniting her with wanderer. #we are not the same. it's about the symbolism it's about how there's so many similarities between them #it's about how they're BOTH emotional but react to trauma in different ways (ei isolates wanderer lashes out) #it's about how raiden wants to protect dreams now and how wanderer has given up on dreaming and hoping but he lives on through spite #and YET! HE LIVES! HE IS ALIVE AND HIS LIFE AND HIS OWN AND BY GOD /HE IS GONNA LIVE IT/!!! #it's about them both becoming accustomed to the world again and becoming part of its history; ACTIVELY. #it's about how ei wears lighter colors now to embody makoto's ideals that have now become HER ideals #and how wanderer has light and dark colors because he has accepted ALL sides of himself. what he was what he is and what he WILL be. #it's about!!!!! how the thunder CANNOT exist without the lightning and how ei is actively trying to reach out to people more #whereas the winds are an entity in and of themselves and for so long wanderer has depended on himself but the winds are stronger together. #and he is slowly integrating back into society and finding people. not necessarily that he trusts but he is finding people and his way #AUGHHH THE RAIDEN FAMILY HMSHSHSJ OUGH. AUHH. PAIN.
