Geralf, Father of Skaabs @askthestitcher-blog - Tumblr Blog

My sister is a witch; not the reliable sort either.

I seem to have a doughty need to stitch some limbs together... Oglor! Fetch me my supplies! We’re going scavenging...

Original Flavor Text: Literally made for battle.

MtR Rewording: “What good fortune! A corpse intact and already dressed for battle.” —Stitcher Geralf

Sometimes flavor text is not terrible, but is just bland. I understand what the writer was going for here, but it just seemed like a a missed opportunity for more flavor. Innistrad’s skaabs are zombies that are usually made from many different parts from different corpses sewn together, but the art seems to portray a singular figure with no extra heads or arms.

For my reworking, I decided to play with this idea. Geralf, who is used to having to stitch together his army, is instead given the rare treat of raising a soldier who died in their armor. After all, what would make a necromancer’s day like an army of zombies pre-armored and ready to go?

How is Oglaf doing?

“Oglaf is...missing...yes, he’s missing. A few mornings ago I woke up to brew a cup of tea when I caught Oglaf in the corner of my eye...then another Oglaf turning on the oven, a Oglaf rolling around in the utensils drawer and yet ANOTHER initiating in a hideous gambol on top of my cedar kitchen table...there were homunculi everywhere. I almost dismissed it as yet another hallucination before one jumped upon my back screaming something about a ‘swine ride.’” Geralf sighed heavily, “I have a lot of interrogating to do...”

how many limb is too much limb? asking for a friend.

“There’s never enough limb...”

Why is it that when couples make a new human life, it’s ‘beautiful’ and 'miraculous,’ but when I make a new human life alone in my basement, it’s 'a crime against nature’ and 'morally abhorrent’?

“Dr.”

“But are you a man or a woman?”

“I’m a scientist.”
