Alright So Is Anyone Else Unable To Vote In Polls Or Is It Just A Me Problem

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

Alright new OC time

I should be studying for my philosophy test, but instead I saw a new picrew and ended up with a new OC. She’s not for any specific fandom, just a general character.

Idea is that she’s a daughter of Apollo, very fun and energetic person. She’ll get into some kind of shenanigans, unsure of the details. If I can’t think of any actual divine abilities she inherited from Apollo she’ll just be really good at dodgeball.

Name’s undecided, main ideas are Laura (from the laurel tree associated with Apollo), Phoebe (Apollo’s Phoebus epithet), Soleil/Solana (Apollo’s Sol epithet), or Delia (Apollo being born on Delos and Delphi being a major place of worship for him). Her dog also doesn’t have a name yet but that’s less important. If anyone has thoughts on the suggested names or new ideas go on ahead and share them.

Thinking about Xenoblade as usual. Gonna put up a spoiler warning for 2 just in case.

We never see the left leg or arm of the Bionis in Xenoblade 1. The right leg has Colony 9 and Gaur Plain, and the right arm is Valak Mountain, but we just never see what's on the left limbs. I wanna see what's over there.

The Siren model kit of all things mentions that there's two other towers besides Rhadamanthus/the World Tree, Aeacus and Minos. It's possible that there's life around those two as well. Who knows what's out there.

When the idea of a Xenoblade spinoff comes up, it’s usually in the form of a Warriors game. And yeah, that’d be cool and I’d spend 500 hours on it. But I like the idea of a racing game, just because I think there’s potential for cool courses and these characters deserve a chance to just have fun. Anyways Nintendo/Monolith please consider making Xenokart real.

Xenoblade 1:

Vehicles from this game could be modified versions of the mobile artillery and Face Mechon units.

Course Ideas: Tephra Cave, Bionis Leg, Satorl Marsh, Eryth Sea, Alcamoth, Sword Valley, Fallen Arm, Agniritha, Bionis Interior, Memory Space

Xenoblade X:

Skells already have a pseudo car mode, and also regular cars are here. Also time travel cars exist too.

Course Ideas: NLA, Talon Rock, Nopon Braidbridge, Divine Roost, around the Yawning Giant, Lake Ciel, the general O’rrh Sim area, White Phosphor Lake, Mount M’gando

Xenoblade 2:

I got nothing for Xenoblade 2 inspired vehicles.

Course Ideas: I guess just the titans, along with the inside of the World Tree and the First Low Orbit Station? I think you should be able to ride on that ring around the planet connected to the First Low Orbit Station too.

Xenoblade 3:

Levnises are the vehicles here.

Course Ideas: Alfeto Valley, Eagus Wilderness, Great Cotte Falls, Maktha Wildwood, the City, Origin

There are probably other good course ideas, but I don’t remember too much of 2′s environments and since areas in 3 are hybrids of areas from 1 and 2 I don’t want to repeat things too much. Expecting X content is also unrealistic but I’m biased and the environments are cool and unique. If you guys have ideas for courses, vehicles, character rosters, or whatever, feel free to share them.

Hey Discord’s about to fuck things up

Short version is that they’re changing how usernames work, most notably by getting rid of the discriminator (the #1234 or whatever at the end of your username). Here’s the full thing.

Yeah this fucking sucks. Spread the word, if we’re lucky we can bully them out of doing this.

Everybody stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW and celebrate the last Out of Touch Thursday of 2020

Okay so I’m willing to bet that we’ll see Riku as a Nopon Archsage in a future Xenoblade game. In the base game of Xenoblade 3 it’s clear that something’s up with Riku, and in the Future Redeemed trailer + some tweets by the Xenoblade JP twitter account Riku is just there even though the DLC happens a millennium before the main game. Nopon aren’t part of the cycle so it can’t be a previous incarnation of him. A regular Nopon seems to be able to live into their 200′s, but that’s not enough time for Riku to be present in both stories. He hasn’t even aged inbetween them either. Only a Nopon Archsage would be able to live that long, the ones we’ve seen generally have an age of 9,999 years. Imagine playing Xenoblade 6 or whatever in the future, the Challenge Mode DLC drops, and the Nopon Archsage running it is Riku.

WAKE UP BLADES NEW XENOBLADE X TRAILER

Alright research time.

So I've noticed some trends from fire emblem fans and I need to know

Explanation under the cut

So I chose these franchises because I've noticed that a lot of FE blogs are at least a fan of one of these other franchises, so wanted to have a sample size of which franchise is the most popular with FE fans.

Also I am not including Pokemon cause it's the most popular franchise on earth.
