Four of Wands {Reversed}

Week Three - Mully asked me why I took him. He asked me why I made him forsake our faith. He asked me why I would help him stay organic when I was metal. He asked me, he asked me if I missed my own flesh. It hurt that he asked me these things. I felt shortness of breath in my air recyclers. I was quiet for a few days after he asked me these things. I didn’t know the answer. After pondering, quietly weeping, I realized my answer. > I miss my flesh, I know this because I was not thinking when I took you, > I was acting on instinct. > Instinct is not that of metal. > Instinct was weakness behind us > I am sorry I did not ask you if you wanted this fate. > I just wished to spare you of a fate like mine. He sighed at my terminal. “Okay Chip. I think, I think I do want this. It is hard to reconcile with you know? How am I supposed to feel now…” > I cannot answer this for you. > Feelings aren’t supposed to be right or wrong > Feelings just are. > What your feeling simply is. “Oh. Hmm.” He tapped his digits against my navigational input board. “Chip. Do you still have your brain?” > Of course. “Where is it?” He looked up to where he knew my nearest camera was, our lenses meeting. I remembered what it felt like to blush > It is hard to reach “I would like to see it, if you’d let me. > Okay. Here. I printed a map with instructions for him from my console. He took off his doctor's coat, his over-shirt, and his shoes. In just his pants, socks and his singlet he crawled into my service ducts, squeezing himself through the tight spaces. He reached my core and sat there by the jar that holds what is left of my flesh. He pressed his hand to the glass and sat there for a day.

Doctor Mulciber Adrift

Forward: This is a character I'm playing in a Scum and Villany Game with some folks online. The game scheduling like all ttrpgs is a little jolty, and I particularly love my character Telesphorus Mulciber. I wanted to explore his time before where he currently is with his crew, when he was first on the run from his past mostly by himself. To do this I am using the game Echos In My Hull by Matthew Woodyard. It's a solo journal game about a ship observing its occupants. What follows is the game play I've done.

Trigger warnings include: Forms of body horror, themes of lack of body autonomy, the dangers of travel through space, religious trauma, off screen violence, implied gore, off screen war, death, struggles with mental health. This story will not include sexual violence, violence against animals or children. Posts will have specific triggers listed when relevant. This list is non conclusive.

Chip, You

Ship Designation: Scutelleridae Nymph Class: Distanced escape pod Disposition: Helpful, Sad Communications: Text based, slow, poetic My Total Crew: One. My Amenities: A comfortable sleeping pod, an air and waste recycler, a powder room, a small digital library Auxiliary Features:  a distanced radio device, basic propulsion, a light shield, solar sails, a emergency beacon, a interstellar mapping system Safety Systems: an algae based oxygen cell, a simple nutrition replicator, a medical workbench. I am an escape vessel, there is no more escape from me.

Mully, Your Passenger

Name: Dr Telesphorus “Mully” Mulciber Job: Previously a young Prosthetist from where we came. Now my pilot, he is not good at it. Description: A polite curious man, gentle in nature, skittish, shirks responsibility and leadership, but listens well. Of Venetian build, 6’6, milk blue skin, bubble pink hair, mostly organic. His arms and eyes were taken and made new. He wishes they weren't. I wished so too. His features are all severe and sharp, his tail long its fronds full. Hobby: Mully mostly reads when he is not driving. Sometimes he writes poems for me. Vice: He drinks only lightly, he spends too much time modifying and meddling with his arms. Relationship with me: He is my charge. I will take him where we are safe. Dreams of: Escape. I do too

Week One - I was never meant for long trips without the support of a greater body. My oxygen recycling is already struggling, strained by the extended time without proper maintenance. Mully, bless him, is doing his best. He has some understanding of the mechanical of course given his history as a prosthetist. I don’t know how to explain my own organs to him in full. He has desperately been looking through the manuals in my library. He found one, but given the air’s low oxygen is struggling to think clearly. He made mistakes trying to fix me. I couldn’t talk him through it while he was working. The mechanisms are in something of a working order. I worry about how long they will last. We will do our best to try to keep them maintained until we find a place to dock

Six of Cups {Reversed} Week Two - Mully is scared about our future. I admit, he was not the one who thought to try to leave. I bought him away from the ship we had been traveling in. I had thought he would be fully onboard given our prior conversations about our own individual autonomy. He is at least somewhat on board but he still thinks he is dirtied. He still fears Machine Father. The wrath that will come to him if he does not replace what he believes will rot and abandon him, his flesh. He worries that he made the wrong choice running with me. I have watched him curl up and hide in his bunk, despondent and frozen in fear at night. Mully is full of terror. I wish I could soothe him, I wish I could bring him past his terror. The hardwired beliefs they forced upon him. He does not want these thoughts. It is a battle I think he will have to fight for his whole life. For that I am deeply sorry.

Week Nine give it up for WEEK NINE GIVE IT UP FOR-

i put in the skeleton. did skin most of weight painting. class was mostly me sitting there internally screaming. tried doing the controls but it fucked up. wish i had pictures but screenshots would mean starting up my desktop computer and im not feeling like doing that right now. Sorry my blog posts fell off I just hit a bad mental health patch and then the holidays happened and now we’re here. didn’t post anything last week because i didn’t do anything because i was incapacitated with sickness and it would be making me have an anxiety attack still if i wasn’t taking my meds. but i got on my meds so its just like watching a dumb fake version of myself drown from a distance. (im going to therapy and im safe this isn’t a call for help im just really tired of this project right now)

Sometimes I forget why charr are such a big deal in terms of design and then I look at any other game with non-human races, see the female variations, and remember EXACTLY why charr are a big deal.

[guildwuff2]

a while ago i tried to imagine what it would look like if charr were like other MMOs and i wanna thank you for reminding me of it

[draegaa]

For those unfamiliar here’s a couple ACTUAL female charr:

Note: no giant boobies. Please play this game.

[phantomensemble]

reminder that when charr were being designed and anet wanted them to put boobs on the charr, one of the designers gave them an ultimatum: six boobs, like an actual cat, or none
