WHO ELSE CANT WAIT FOR THE DAY I PICKED UP DAZAI
A loss of innocence, the uncertain future
Lore under the cut:
"I used to have a lot of nightmares, you know? They were somewhat... similar every time. I wake up, in a room like my own and yet not mine, in a house not my own with friends that kept calling me a different name... I got used to it until everything went horribly wrong, all the losses, deaths, torturing... I was terrified... it always ended when I looked in a mirror. It shattered, I saw myself still or maybe someone just like me, mimicking my actions. But always somewhere behind it there was someone, something... It started as a blur but each night got closer until... I don't remember anymore. But I remember the flames, the light colors gently burning my skin as it brushes out of the shattered glass. I told Nio what was happening at some point, she said it was just a bad dream. But was it really? I wish I could remember"

"The Weeping Dragon"
"You know? Ava never told us about her nightmares or how her past was. All we know is that she's the future that Zam might experience one day. . . It's terrifying to think about. I wonder what happened to her exactly? We all do. She stopped sleeping" - Azi
Azur Lane thought on my dousjin
its not gonna give me high reputation posting this draft but here it is...just some ideas that go through my turd of brain ack...
I was thinking how can I put it in such way that when I write a story it doesn't ruin my time spent on other things in life, ultimately writing erotic ideas is way more fun to the point of way too much power... Putting chains on me is difficult to do. I thought to just write notes or small pieces of story and move on, but then I want to progress into it, dwell within.
Ultimately, I need to have more discipline on myself.
hi, so... um... who is "megabird"? I was going trough your blog and saw it mentioned a lot of times. At first I thought that it was just a meme, but apparently it's not??? I'm new to the fandom, so sorry for dumb questions, and sorry if this has been answered before...
please don’t worry it isn’t a dumb question! megabird is only mentioned by name in tom zhao’s concept art, but long story short, she’s basically a divine entity of the flame and the creator of sky kids. (putting a read more in case this gets long, and of course, game spoilers ahead)
so she’s a god in charge of the reincarnation cycle of light creatures, including sky kids. her presence isn’t restricted to the concept art, of course; we see the megabird in the wind vanes in the prairie bird’s nest as well as the prairie temple entrance, and a popular speculation is that megabird is the one narrating at the beginning of sky (the whole fall of the stars and “if only they had listened” spiel describing the destruction of the sky kingdom).
in the concept art above, the holy site refers to the eye of eden, so it’s pretty safe to say we fly into megabird during the orbit sequence.
probably the most important bits of megabird lore come from the concept art timeline, though. it’s a bit hard to read because of the low quality, and i might put a transcription in the next ask for anyone curious, but i’ll just take the bits related to megabird and type them below:
Fire Era
- All souls are part of the Megabird. Each soul cycles through the Human and the Sky. World gathers experience before returning to Megabird. We are all one and one is us all.
- Megabird grants flame to Prince and Creatures.
- Megabird is at her strongest and all life is connected by light.
- Both Ancients and Creatures worship the fire, migrating to the holy land to die and be reborn.
Dark Stone Era
- The Ancients enter a golden age and the Prince is crowned King. However, dark matter begins to corrupt the Prince and Ancestors.
- Ancients become indifferent and disconnected from the Megabird. The Ferryman Ancestor (Isle Elder) retires with no new souls to shepherd.
Post Storm Era (after the Sky Kingdom is destroyed)
- In dismay, Megabird blesses the sky Kingdom with a new Descendant race (sky kids) in the hope that they will reconnect all souls.
it’s important to note that lore stated in concept art is not necessarily canon, but there are plenty of safe assumptions we can make based on what’s in game that are basically accepted as fanon. megabird is indeed meme’d though. if you ever hop into the official sky discord’s lore channel, you might see her get called megan or described as a bunch of noodles because of her appearance. i also personally like joking that any mysterious source of light in the sky (such as the sun) is megabird. hope this helped :]

I did. This pic is from the other day. He's better now. :>
Accidentally used one of my pets for homework all night. This should be kept to a minimum. It's super tired now.

Guys, does anyone know what to do if your Pencil-Creature signs a contract without reading it?
My Pencil-Creature is legally forced to wear this ridiculous mascot costume now. I told it it should always read the contract, but it didn't listen.
Guys, my pencil got a face. But then I accidentally sharpened him. Now he is traumatized by several layers of his face being ripped off by a blade.

Maybe it's not them. Maybe it's us—attracting a certain kind of people.
I’m tired of meeting the same people in different bodies.
The Lessons summarized
Kelpie
I know that in mythology, a kelpie is a horse. However, the description also states that he is stronger and more enduring than any horse, and it is usually mules that have this characteristic. So yes, it is a mule x) In fact a dead end branch

Friend: Hey Hollis, how do you always know lore about fandoms you're not even in?
Me: I dont know, the fandoms minions just kinda go door to door seeing who will hear about their lord and savior bill cipher and, well, I've not got much to do in my life
What level is ragatha and why is she so OP? How long has she been on the gamer grind? Does she has a party? Will we meet the cast one by one? More questions to come when i return to a save point..
♥️World of Wonder Masterpost♥️
Game Grinder is the complete OPPOSITE of what she is!
She's a level 20 Player (this might change in the future), which is pretty high for player standing. I would say the's the 3rd strongest player in the party (the first being Kinger and the second being Jax).
As far as the party goes consists of everyone from the main cast of Digital Circus:
(Order from Strongest to Weakest )
Kinger
Jax
Ragatha
Zooble
Gangle
Pomni (She the latest one to spawn in/ join the party )
Now for why Ragatha is so strong:
You see that heart-shaped crystal around her neck, it's not just for show.
When she first spawned in she spawned near the Kingdom of Sweet Hearts and over time the Queen... how can I put this... took a liking to her! So Ragtha ended up staying at the castle as a... pet per se. The heart-shaped crystal (called a Jelly Crystal) was like a collar more or less. I sign that Ragatha was the Queen's good-given gift! (Sad truly)
I plan to go into a lot more detail when I make the post about the World of Wonder map and kingdoms so stay tuned because I'm only scratching the surface with this kingdom!
But after her escape from the kingdom and she started learning combat in order to escape the digital world, caine gave the crystal an upgrade that kinda went wrong... (and it made Jax a lil jealous )
Though it was tricky for her to manage her newfound power, she built along with it! Learning to tricks and upgrading her Ultum card faster than ever!
💫Thank you for the questions I hope to get more in the future 💫

Lore Bomb 1: Behind the Code
Hi, Hi Quill Here!
I just wanted to give some lore drops for my TADC AU
Tha Amazing Digital World Of Wonder
So here are some little crumbs for what I have in store for this Digital Adventure Game. And feel free to ask about anything in this post I'll answer what I can!
Enjoy♥️
Where Exactly is The Amazing Digital World of Wonder??
Well, the World of Wonder is a virtual open-world RPG fantasy game where players wonder the world, defeat bosses, and make it to the top ranks to beat the final boss.
From the Sweet Heart Candy Kingdom to the Twisted Hills of Spade Realm. Adventure can build their rank by interacting with interactive NPCs, defeating creatures, and building a bond with other teammates.
It truly was a game of a future... until it wasn't..
Who ran the The Amazing Digital World of Wonder servers?
I'm glad you asked my friend. C&A is the main company behind the World of Wonder. Alongside the launch of the company's new interactive fantasy, they launched the first in-game AIDs.
What Are AID's ??
Artificial intelligence developers (or AID for short) are in-game AI's who work within the back ends of the game that constantly work on updates, bugs, fight against hackers and glitches, and any other task that a group of human developers would talk weeks to find. Amazing technology isn't it?
Ask are open if you have any questions. Oh and more art and concepts are coming this week along with a feel more lore bombs, I promise!
I might have missed it somewhere but on a few of your Kuriza drawings, is there some special lore behind Frieza's scars?
(Btw, love your art!!)
Yes, it's called character development ;)
On a real note I've had some plans/ideas to do a story about the new generation of the dbz gang ( Uub, Bulla, Pan extra) so I would first have to end, or at least pause, the rivalry between the Saiyans and Frieza
In the manga Vegeta and Granola both started to realizing that revenge isn't always the answer, so I think a nice way to put a bow on that story narrative is by Vegeta sparing Friezas life so Kuriza wouldn't go through the same path that he did at his age
But they are still not on good terms
Also Frieza has a fake right eye
Utah...isn’t anywhere near the coast....it doesn’t even have a major river??? How tf did he use a boat? And then end up the desert...? The goegraphy is not making sense to me
The madness was like a snake coiled around my mind. I could feel its grip getting stronger... it was suffocating.
I would love to hear ur wilbur niki thoughts if ur willing to share
ok i got like 4 asks instantly so i may as well. this is rambly and sooo poorly worded but i dont have time to be flowery lmfao. here goes.
c!niki is allowed to be angry. she’s allowed to be pissed. But uh. c!wilbur does not deserve to be ruthlessly berated and accused of manipulation when the real issue that nobody seems to acknowledge anymore is that she wanted his attention. and I think that’s what makes her and c!jack so tragically drawn to each other as well, feelings of abandonment and betrayal and whatnot.
niki's anger is misplaced but not unwarranted. she feels the need to direct all that malice she's been stewing in since Manberg towards him, and almost exclusively when he was dead. but I think her anger is once again not rly about how he "manipulated"(he did not. manipulate her in any form but ok) and hurt people she cared about. its much simpler and than that.
niki is mad because, like c!tommy, she still loves wilbur. and she hates that he is still so present in her mind, in her decisions, even the decision to join the syndicate. she just hates it.
I think the best direction for the confrontation to go is for her to START screaming at him, START throwing cold accusations and bitter insults at him, until she realizes she's just as bad as him. and i don't mean "bad" as in their shared capacity for violence, or their affinity to isolate themselves away from a lot of people they once considered friends. it's the simple fact that they are both damaged. and they both used this as the cowardly excuse to hurt others. and that is not wilburs fault. niki HAS to realize that.
this is why i like the idea of niki and tommys characters talking as well. they were arguably the most shaken by wilburs death. however, tommy, albeit in a weird spot with cwilbur right now, has seen this shared damage already. he knows wilbur doesn't hold true evil, just like niki, no matter what she might think or how much she plots with jack or who's cape she hides behind like a moral shield. "it's not about chances, it's about not giving up on the people you care about," right?
it goes like this. c!niki and c!wilbur both wanted to die. they both thought it was "never meant to be". but here they are. being. and what is more unifying than that shared contradiction. that despite it all, you are still here together. shouldn't that mean something to them? i dont know. but it does to me.
Okay big Dushan (he/him) lore dump before I move on with my wips (1/?)
He's my main Inquisitor oc and comes and goes in my art. So if you like him or DA content specifically, stick around, it pops up every few weeks
He's in his mid 30s/early 40s, House Trevelyan is technically on its last breath by the time their only acceptable heir (Dushan) is born. Him being afab opens an opportunity for arranged marriage with another noble family, with an ultimatum that the contract will only sets in motion if the marriage successfully brings a child to join their names and blood. With that nuance Trevelyans (as a bit too fanatically religious house) can't send him off to grow up into a templar or a chantry initiate. It leads to him being brought up in a cult-ish environment to become his family's sacrificial lamb (or foal. Bc get it, Trevelyans) Homeschooled church kid, if you will. Sometime before the marriage his younger sister is born and sent off to the Circle as soon as she walks. At 17-18 the marriage goes through but doesn't last long
Dushan is terrified of both his now-husband and the idea of carrying a child. The years of pent up fear and abuse make the generally quiet kid go off the RAILS in one night, killing his husband, beheading his father and declaring himself the only son and the new head of the house. There's not much anyone can do about it with his mother being long gone, the family being in shambles and him indeed being the next in line
He's heavily pro-mage not even because of mortality of the question but because his sister in the circle is his closest and only beloved family left. He spends years clearing and building up their family name through dirtiest play so his sister can have proper noble privileges. In the process of it, through revenge, assassinations and more dirty play, the house ends up almost completely wiped out. Including the sister herself
By the time of the conclave he's broken. He has the name, the power, the skills, the flourishing land but noone left by his side. He serves and sponsors the Ostwick chantry his family was affiliated with, attending the conclave under its name
He himself lost his faith years ago and being forced back into it by the whole herald thing makes him gasp for air anywhere he can. Between living in the goddamn Haven, being trapped between soldiers of the chantry that don't really give a fuck about him at that point, he clings to Solas and his talk of fade and spirits and wonders that are so hated by the chantry he fears. They bond frankly inseparable in the first act
ugh, I was in the middle of a fanfic too 😔
CLAIM YOUR BADGE PEOPLE
ARE YOU LORE?
An unanswered call:
Henry?... Look. I know you've probably been busy doing whatever, and you probably just want to forget about the old studio. But you can't. You can't do that. You may have left us, but you can't leave it. They're your creations, Henry. Your dreams, originally.
I know you meant well. We all used to mean well. But, Henry, your dreams? Your leaving? It killed the studio. It killed his sanity. It's dooming us all. We've tried talking some sense back into him awhile ago, but it only led to more troubles. Day by day I can hear it. It's in the walls, Henry. It's trying to break free. I won't let it though. I won't. Last time I tried calling, you changed your number, so I had to hunt down Linda to get your new one. I heard about the "incident." I'm so sorry, man. I wish I was there. To support. Though, I must admit, it was you who promised to keep in touch.
Look, as much as I am still mad about that, I need your help. We need your help.
I fear I haven't seen the worse and that the worse is just waiting. Waiting for us to let down our guard. I wish I could explain, but I'm terrified that he or it will hear. I've already been throwing a wretch in their plans. I can't afford them to find out who. Can you please just come by the old studio? We need to talk. Before everything goes to shit.
Why didn't you answer me, Henry?
So true my brother, go off my friend
Kirby lore is the video game equivalent of Adventure Time
To the High Priest Cadion,
With all of the love of the OtherBeings, we hope you make it to the wedding of R. Darciest P. II and Elyrssa H. Kriftssues. We miss you very much.
...all of us.
But, moreover... how are you feeling? Are the views of the Hazel River as beautiful as they say? Are the people of Diordian nice? Have they treated you well?
Arleen isn't happy, she wants to know what you're doing, who you're with and where you are..... and frankly, I do too.
It's been many, m a n y, months since your last report. It's been WEEKS since your last letter! Are you okay?
I know you told me not to, no matter what, but I've sent some health-men to make sure you're alright.
I've missed you everyday since you've left for your annual spirit journey. And I've missed you even more since your last letter when you told me that you were going to stay in Diordian for an extended period of time.
All I can hope for is that you find your spirit again, and hope that the OtherBeings keep you safe, and then some.
With all of my love for anyone in the world,
Second High Priest London §
