The Necromancer's Apprentice

My name is Effron. I work under Draygo Quick in his castle. I have a lot of free time My askbox is always open and I'll try my best to respond to everything as quickly as possible The witch, Aina and the cleric Guy Dalca-Gagnon are also hosted here and are free to answer questions as well.

So yeah

I’ve been deleting some blogs/projects lately, including the one I made for MOtF a couple years ago. I just… don’t have the spoons to maintain it. 

There wasn’t all that much on there anyway. This by no means, means I’m deleting MOtF… ever but I just kept forgetting it existed and it seemed to behoove me to just get rid of it

There’s also a very high likelihood that my current side blogs (The Effron RP blog and the Squid Blog) are gonna get a facelift/be repurposed very soon. They haven’t had real activity in years, so I might just go in, archive a bunch of stuff, and overhaul them.

I haven’t made any decisions on that (at least re: the Effron blog, the squid blog is 100% getting that facelift because I want to use it to actually promote Pitiful Creatures when I start that project.)

(( Likely going to tag all existing posts as #RParchive and reblog the lore stuff. 

(( After a rename and a face lift this’ll likely become my FR-fanfiction exclusive blog where I curate every FR fic posted on Tumblr that I don’t have the time or spoons to do a rewrite/Ao3 repost of.

(( I’ll make an announcement before the change fully happens.

OOC: heyo. This blog’s largely abandoned but I still do RP stuff as Effron on Chat clients.

I’m on Discord more now so if you’re interested hmu @:

[txt] I'm holding a competition……who saw me last, and who knows how my nose got bruised? you earn points for answering either question. and for bringing me water. -Effron

[txt] I didn’t see you personally but I bet I can find out.  

[txt] Water’s easy though.  Where are you?

[effronthetwisted]

bleedingflames:

[txt] I think I’ve got you located.  Stay put.

[txt]  Can you survive for ten more minutes?

[txt] That’s how long it’ll take me to get there.

[Txt] I think so.

[txt] so long as the mosquitoes don’t eat me alive first.

[txt] That last one was the size of my head.

[effronthetwisted]

[txt] I’m… not sure. I’ve never seen this place before it’s… swampy and gross so I can’t be too far from home I don’t think. Last thing I remember is something about a party in Draygo’s basement?

[txt] Also, if you could maybe bring a coat or something. That’d be nice. I seem to have misplaced a solid… 60% of my usual clothing. Give or take.

OOC: Oh god look at this massive hiatus

Yeah, about all that. I’m sorry. WHOOPS.

But between coming up on my degree, Moonlight Over the Forest, Eight Minutes More, my research for 8 Mins and one of my novels, my D&D games, and a bunch of other shit I haven’t had the time or motivation to maintain this.

But that isn’t to say I haven’t been roleplaying with Effron. He’s my default character over on skype and I’ve been doing a disgusting amount of development with him. He even has a voice claim now! [Christian Sloan? I think his name is. The guy who plays Strand on the ‘Black Tapes Podcast’. They haven’t released their cast list yet but everyone is speculating that its Sloan.]

Maybe one day I’ll be getting back to this blog, but I haven’t really had much traction with the Fandom At Large (not that I’ve wanted to. I’ve seen enough of it in my opinion and I’m glad to be on the periphery) and there’s really only one or two people I’d do anything with on here.

I may, in the future, write a massive story just about Effron and his life growing up in the castle and post it piecemeal on here on a schedule for people to read/follow. Idk. I’m still trying to decide what to do with this. I don’t want to give it up entirely but things are also pretty dead here.

I’ll let you guys know what I come up with.

For example, we often hear that necromancy was outlawed because it was a devilish practice that depended upon the power of Satan for its effectiveness. What you do not hear is that necromnacy was an aspect of ancestor worship, and that part of outlawing it involved making it illegal to bury your family members on your own land. Suddenly, you were required to bury your dead in Church-sanctioned graveyards. This effectively removed one of your most solid claims to ownership of your ancestral land. It was no longer the place where you could prove your forefathers lay buried. It made it easier for authorities to come along and kick you out of your home and take state ownership of the land your family had left to you. This also supported the ultimate goal of breaking up family clans, and the political power and wealth that often went along with them.

(( I know I’ve been super dead on here guys. Due to school and all that noise.

(( I’m still RPing as Eff a lot on skype so if you’re a reg that wants to throw RP ideas for him at me, I’m still over there.

New Anatomical Specimens Made from Hand-Dyed Wool and Silk by Lana Crooks

[jollityfarm]

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’?

Effron starts slinging bolts of negative energy. “GET YOUR NECROPHILLIAC ASS OUT OF MY TOWER THIS INSTANT.”

[effronthetwisted]

Okay, but: fuckacles. Like tentacles, only for fucking.

“WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING IN HERE.”

Will make porn for apprenticeship

“All applications for apprenticeship must be done through Lord Quick. Though, word of advice, I don’t think he’s keen on pornography.”

He pauses a bit “However... you might be able to sway the cleric’s guild outpost to let you join if it’s really good pornography.”

[effronthetwisted]

I wonder who set all of these strange anons on you. At least they keep you busy. That aside, doesn't necromancy always have an element of recycling? You could give this a positive spin. Give necromancy a better name, or something.

“Usually it does. Most people think zombies and skeletons and think that we are somehow violating the sanctity of the dead by taking away their ability to be resurrected. Nevermind that one: resurrection is a form of necromancy in the first place and two: true resurrection is insanely uncommon.”

He laughs, “If anything, necromancy, when applied in the right ways, can be more effective than an actual army of living people. They don’t feel pain or fear, you don’t have to feed them, they usually don’t have families to mourn them. But no. People would much rather fight and die than let the dead do the work for them.”

After a pause he mumbles: “Although, I will be frank there is an immeasurable level of cruelty and evil that comes with certain spheres of the school so… yeah.”

Goth wannabe nerd.

“Excuse you. I’m hardly a wannabe. Er- wait. I’m not a n- aw, screw it who am I kidding? I’m a massive nerd.”

[effronthetwisted]

concept: vegan necromancy

“Pretty sure that’s compost druidism. But I could be wrong. I know jack shit about druids. Do they even work with dead plants? I suppose they’d have to at some point? Or do they use the dead plants to fertilize living plants and make them stronger.... I may have to look this up.”
