Yussss!!!

[ask-gadzooks]

Hey guys, when you’re done playing with this edgelord. You wanna go play some halo?? I just got some of those clear plastic controllers

Yusss! We'll be right over. Never played but clear plastic controllers sound awesome. Seems like he's sending us on a quest to another world but I think we have some time to kill.

Let's play ball boy, fetch Namarra. Pierce me with that, then you may talk and I will listen. If you can't do that, then don't get me hopeful for nothing.

"Namarra.... here it is!" "Namarra, also spelled Namara and known as The Sword That Never Sleeps or simply Neversleep, was a unique enchanted sword of unknown origin. An ancient blade with a long and storied history, it once belonged to King Esmel Torlath, founder of Amn, and several of his descendants. It was also claimed by the goblins of the Valley of Khedrun and by a succession of adventurers, mercenaries, and heroes."

"... ... ... Okay."

"Like honestly at which of the unrealities are you aiming at? I only exist at one place at one time, ever. The fuck are you waving your stick at? The impossible realities? I stand here and I stand here now, pierce me and you pierce me forever, there are no second chances by convenient choices. You poke me with the piece of shit at your command, not thinking further than your pathetic sense of heroism. Do you think you'll save me? Or have I been here a billion times before, just... Like not really caring one way or the other? I could probably even step aside, even read the runes, even sniff the dirt on your paws, before you knew I had done so.

I don't need to have power. I know every tiresome outcome that spans out in the name of whatever, who cares, ever. I am a creature that exists solely to be as we are. I don't know what you can do, honestly... I wish I knew what I could do...!"

"Uhh... what? I'm not trying to pierce-" "OHHH! you mean the sword thing! No I wasn't gonna stab you with it or anything; That's just something I do when I want to hear the truth. It's symbolic... or something. It makes more sense when you know what it says."

[ask-gadzooks]

"Just... Run, away. Go. You don't want to dig any deeper, foolish child."

"So... I'm guessing there's a lot of murder involved in your backstory. So much, in fact, that you consider yourself to be irredeemable." "But you're also agonizing over the fact that you're irredeemable so much that I can't believe you are. if you agonize over not having something this much, you obviously want it. And if you want redemption, I think you can get it. No matter what." "Now... if I'm wrong and you don't want redemption, that's fine. I'll just leave you alone; but if it's something you desperately need and you think it's just out of reach... well... I gotta prove you wrong." "So anyway... if you want me to leave you alone, just look me in the eye and tell me that you don't want redemption."

[ask-gadzooks]

"You are not very amusing, are you?"

"Well... I try to be amusing, but mostly right now I'm just confused."

[ask-gadzooks]

It is fine.

"Aw, you must simply accept my apologies. My less than, acceptable, sibling had claimed a voice of their own for too long. Such presumptuous assertions they put forth... Rest assured, there is no threat. I am... In control now. Yours ever so dearly ~mother."

"Oh. Okay. good. Glad we could sort that out." "..." "Have you ever considered therapy?" (I'll let Defilicus decide whether this is canon or just happened in Gad's head)

[askdefilicus]

"And who's going to offer me therapy? Bloody hells, I can't even keep my claws from my devout... The days of joy are dead to me... I only keep her at bay with the weight of the sorrow she's caused. Eventually she'll run free..."

[ask-gadzooks]

"..." "Me?"

[ask-gadzooks]

*is looking to gad* you are davohkiin you are dragon

"Really? How do you figure that?" *finishes eating his seventeenth cheese wheel in as many seconds*

"The fuck are you anyway? A pile of wretched memories? What's the plan here that keeps you worthwhile??", she indulges her old patterns as she reaches out with hundreds of razor wires. All that she knew must bleed... The forsaken divine has gone mad at last.

"Language, miss. This is a family-friendly blog."

"And the plan is to have fun as it comes, take on adventures, and see where they take us! Also please put away those sharp implements. someone could get hurt!"

Commission of a royal portrait

[ask-gadzooks]

This could have been a simple photobomb, but I find it much more funny to think that Luna held that pose for hours while the painter did their work.

[ask-gadzooks]

"Hic, stop dying... You damn fool. There's three billion of you that don't make it each day! Like, get wise gamzee."

"Uhh... oh. You mean mortals as a whole. Yeah, I mean... we have doctors and stuff. We're trying our best."

Misty & The Mirror, 2024.

This was drawn during July that year, which I know without checking as I still remember the night I drew it! I do wish I'd noticed I'd mirrored Opal's eye shines, but not the patterns in her mane, though, but this was a doodle I got carried away with so I guess I didn't care at the time.

It was also not posted at the time because back then, I was still planning on starting up that failed Misty ask blog and didn't want to spoil anything.

And if you're wondering: No, probably not a canon scene. XD

[ask-gadzooks]

wait.... isn't necromancy basically raising the death to be an undead? Wouldn't that mean you can just raise a dead plant's, instead of animal?

Zooks: "Well, yes... but you'd have to get pretty creative to find a use for an undead tree as opposed to just... a dead one. Don't get me wrong; dead plants can be used for a lot of things, but making them un-dead wouldn't really add much utility."

[ask-gadzooks]

Mage Heart: If you played an adventuring role play game, would you still be the type of adventurer you are now, or would you try something different?

Gad: "Are you kidding me? I'd try everything! It all sounds cool!"

"Err... except Druids, for some reason. Sorry, druid mains. I think it's an acquired taste. I just feel like there's nothing real unique you can do with those..."

Zooks: "Well, I think I'd like to be able to try a class that can take a hit... but the flexibility of magic is something I'd like to keep, too... I don't suppose you have anything that can do both?"
