Happy 2015 Everybody

lines from vox machina that took me out instantly and still live rent-free in my head

"Percival. Sweet Percival."

"your sister lives, Percival"

"do not go far from me"

"Do you think this is what mother saw before she died?"

"It’s going to be all right. Pike is here, it’s going to be all right, it’s going to be all right. Gil?"

"take me instead you raven bitch"

"You are a good person and I have always seen that. Please see it, please. Oh god, my heart is breaking."

"I do not work in wood. I am not brave enough for that. There is a comfort in iron, a promise of safety, a second chance if mistakes are made. But a city is more a forest than a sword. No, it needs more tending than that. Perhaps a city is like a garden, then."

"sometimes breaking is making, even iron can start again, and there are many things that move through fire and find themselves much better for it afterward."

"I love you. If I can find you, I will. If not, stay alive."

I hear the voice of my mother in the morning. “Fuck you.”

"but if he's gone forever I won't be the same"

"I was gonna ask you what your mother’s name is." / "It was Juniper." / "I’m sorry I didn’t know that."

"Well that's just it. I'm a really good liar."

"all we found of her was her leg" / "that means she's still alive"

I think back to Percy's workshop in Greyskull Keep. And I say "I love you too."

"I have a feeling she's pulling our fate strings, anyway. ...mine's connected to yours. Where you go, I go."

"I am here because I have completed my Aramente, and I have come for my blessing." / "Yes, you have. I just wanted to hear it from your lips."

"You look like mother right now. You do."

"And I thought that was it. I had ruined it. But before dawn, she came back, she unrolled her bedding, and she went to sleep, and woke up the next morning and said "what's for breakfast, Dad?"

"Promise me you'll come back with me, no matter what." / "I promise."

Vax is watching, frozen.

"Where's Vax?"

"I thought you died. I watched you die." ... "It's a trick. It's a trick of the feywild."

He's physical. He's cold. But he's there.

"Look. Look at me. Just remember. Whatever happens, remember me. That's all that's important."

"I remember. (softer) I remember. See? It's all up here. So whatever happens, keep me there. All right?"

"She'll probably outlast you, but while you're around, keep her company for me?"

"What if there comes a day when I don't even recognize the name Vox Machina anymore?"

"And you- you're not going anywhere."

"Is that my girl? Is that my baby girl?"

I grab Kaylie by the face and I say to her: "Goodbye."

"Bless. Shaun! It was an honor knowing you."

"Forever and ever and always." I steal what I assume is my last kiss.

I'm going to use a bonus action to look over my shoulder and see everyone that I know. I'm going to see my sister and her husband. I'm going to see the woman that I love. I'm going to see Grog. I'm going to see Arkhan. I'm going to see my friend Scanlan.

You all take a moment to imagine what you've lost, what you've gained. Everything has led to this moment. And in the quiet and the stillness, you hear a new sound. It's thousands and thousands of distant voices cheering from the city of Vasselheim below. Of wyvern and eagle riders above you. But a small example of the hundreds of thousands of lives you may have saved.

I walk to step in between. / In between the two of them? / Yes.

"I'm not ready." / "You're ready for your people." / " Not without you."

"I'm going to go visit my mother, and I'll see all of you again."

"Thank you for trying." / "I wish I could have done more." / "You did everything"

"I never had a greater friend than you."

"I feel like she's taking part of me away." / "I will bring it with me to remind me of you."

"I don't know how to live."

I use the druid cantrip Druidcraft and grow snowdrops out from where I stand, out to all of my family. Out to where they stand. "S.H.I.T.s, thank you. How lucky I have been to have had all of you. How lucky, indeed. Thank you."

In the darkness of her cloak, you see a brief light, and it's brighter for you. As you walk forward, you see reaching from the light the dark hair, the fair skin, and the wide smile of your mother, Elaina. As she greets you, she says, “I'm so proud.”

"I still count you as my sister." / "As I count you as mine. Going to have to look out for each other now." / "Yes."

"I think I really miss my family."

"I think we're all broken, Percy." / "I'm so tired of hurting people."

"The brightest and the darkest. To Vax."

"I think the most free I've ever been is with you."

"I think we should rebuild the families that we've lost." / "There's so many names."

"I don't have to appreciate this. Especially not after what I've seen. But I do." / "You need to." / "Only because of what I've seen."

i mean, there’s typecasting

30 days OC challenge.

I could not find a 30 day challenge I liked, so I made one. You can just use the bolded word, or get inspiration from the following ideas. Descriptions, drabbles, dialogue, drawings. No rules, do what feels most comfortable for you. I haven't numbered these, you can do that yourself, in the order you want to.

First meeting. A new friend, sibling, business partner? First impression of someone? Or perhaps someone else's first impression of your OC?

Memories. Good or bad, one or many. One almost forgotten or maybe one they want to make?

Inventory. Special items, a random collection, only the necessities? Or maybe an item they lost?

Fighting. Skills or magic? A general description or perhaps a favourite spell? A special style or move? A situation where it was used?

Anger. What makes your OC angry? Do they fight or is it silent anger?

Formal wear or event. Anything from acquiring formal wear to wearing it to the event itself.

Romance. Is it something they want? What is romance? Small moments or a full blown fairy tale?

Friendship. An old friend or one you just met? What does friendship mean to your OC?

Sickness. A small flu or a chronic illness? How does your OC deal with being sick? Or when someone else is?

Hurt. Emotional or physical.

Travel. A journey they will always remember? One they want to take? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle?

Shoes. Yes, shoes. Anything to do with shoes. Or the lack of.

Sleeping. How do they sleep? Dreams they remember? Have they slept somewhere unusual?

Darkness. Dark night, mood, mind, location, fear. Take your pick.

First light. An early morning. Why are they awake? Lounging on a bed or already on the move?

Above-average. Does your OC excel in something? Do they have special features? How about in the opinion of others?

Water. Rain, river, lake, a bucket of water? Get soaked.

Air. Flying, high spaces, wind, breathing.

Symbols. Does your OC have symbolic features? Do they like symbols? Or maybe they are the symbol.

Fire. Stories around a campfire. Cozy fireplace. Accidents. Or maybe a fiery nature?

Earth. Getting your hands dirty. Life and death. Or maybe just lying on a grassy hill.

Jewelry. Do they have heirlooms? Buying jewelry as a gift? Wearing them?

Hobbies. Physical or mental? Creative, entertaining, useful?

Sensitive. Do they have subjects they avoid. Are they ticklish? Or maybe sensitive to the feelings of others?

Happiness. What makes your OC laugh? A situation they felt happy in?

Keepsakes. Items that have special meaning? A gift? Something they found?

Soft. Clothing, touch, mood, texture.

Embarrassment. Does your OC get embarrassed easily? Maybe they are the cause? Do they like to embarrass others?

Intimate. What things do they consider intimate? Are they willing to share those? With whom?

Imagination. Use it.

That's it. 30 things, 30 days. I will do it too, after I get back home from my trip. Feel free to use on any fandom~

Theyyyyyyy

A non-exhaustive list of things that the Mighty Nein will now need to explain to Molly:

‘Nott’ the goblin having always been Veth the halfling

Veth being married with a child

Fjord’s accent change

Fjord’s patron change

Who Caduceus is

Who Essek is

What the dodecahedron they carried around for a month was

‘You know how when the war broke out, you immediately wanted us to not get involved in any way whatsoever? About that…’

Why Yasha’s wings and hair are different

The Gentleman is Jester’s dad

Fjord and Jester are dating now

Caleb and Essek are ‘It’s complicated’-ing now

Beau is a secret agent

Jester’s god is actually an archfey (and a weasel, sometimes)

How different his friends are now. They’re not the self-interested assholes they once were, and it’s so much to do with him. He made one remark about leaving things better, and they took that and turned it into a rallying cry, made it a mission. It inspired them, it steeled them. They became people who stopped a war and prevented the awakening of an evil god. They touched so many lives and finally saved the world. They’re not what he remembers. They’re brighter and braver and kinder and so, so much stronger

‘We definitely told our two new members about the time you put egg on your dick, and we gave them absolutely zero context.’

top 10 black sails characters as voted by the fandom: #5-6 Anne Bonny

That fucking island. Makes you do shit you don’t wanna do. How is it we haven’t figured that out by now? 

suprise

the progression of cr party names is so funny

vox machina: latin. classic euro fantasy. clever meta nod to their profession. better than 'the shits' (affectionate) even though we know deep down that's their truth

the mighty nein: a classic superhero/adventure story team name. a ragtag group of heroes held together by their conviction in saying no to injustice and their belief that there's strength and healing in numbers. also a pun and an inside joke.

bell's hells: literally just a band name. here with their inner demons to fuck shit up for the greater good. pure chaos. starting accidental fires wherever they go. named after their band manager who died like five minutes after helping them book their first gig.
