Hey Atticus I'm Gay For This
HEY NUE THANK YOU FJDKLSF.,, im glad folks are not bored to tears by House Of Cards Neopia Edition ..... Fantasy Furry Political Drama: The Fan Endeavor.... Neopets With A Side Of Dialectics
oh wow! quite few people have asked to hear more about my untitled meridell plot sequel (im working on a name i cant just keep calling it ‘kass redemption arc’ bc its lisha’s story too!) thank you guys so much ;_>;
unfortunately the sketchbook i have all my concepts/roughs in is back in my hometown LOL.... T_>T if i had it with me i’d share the whole thing but... i have a few doodle tidbits i can post in a couple days (ive been busy, parents visiting this week!) and until then i can shove the general gist under a cut here, haha:
so the major key points i had figured out were:
the plot existed as a counterpoint to the Battle for Meridell plot. it gave us insight on lisha’s perspective, who was a neutral party to the politics involved in the conflict, and it dealt with her coming to grips with the reality of what started out as a fantasy-come-true for her. it’s told mainly through kass’s PoV, though. he is Very Tired.
from here, we get a view of the Meridell-Darigan conflict that is much more skewed towards the cidadel: rather than Kass being just a power-hungry tyrant on a war path, it paints him as a flawed but righteous-intentioned radical-leaning leader who feared aggression from the much bigger and well-off kingdom of Meridell. the actions we viewed in the initial Battle plot are kind of a “history as told by the victors” lens.
god, im sorry, my tastes are so longwinded and boring LOL. here is my fantasy political novel as told through neopets NPCs, hope you didnt expect anything fun.
well at any rate--lisha’s impetus at the beginning of the plot is a little mysterious. obviously, she is a bright girl with a strong sense of justice, so it isnt out of character for her to have realized that Meridell is not as pure as it seems, but as we progress it becomes clear that she has a strong personal stake in the outside of that. she of course doesnt trust kass enough to tell him at first, but it’s there.
about halfway through, as the two build up a fairly mutual relationship (kass lowkey adores lisha as he gets to know her. shes young and smart and full of drive, he wants only the best for her. fierce protectiveness.) she confides something big to him:
skarrl wants jeran to be the one who executes kass. it was never a fair trial to begin with.
this is getting long, but the idea is that jeran has kind of just become a symbol for meridell at this point. lisha’s lost her brother as he’s been turned into a ‘hero for the kingdom.’ and that, in itself, is a little symbolic for her relationship with meridell entirely.
this is so wordy and i am so sorry to everyone. thank you for reading thus far.
I saw your kass prompt and was immediately like "YES. THIS SHOULD HAPPEN" im about a chapter in, but i was wondering if you would be okay with me finishing it and submitting it for the Neopian Times? I dont want to yank your idea without asking first!
oh wow OMG! :^D :^D :^D im still doing things with the idea myself, but im sure your take on the prompt is gonna turn out WILDLY different than my concepts so yes! go ahead!! please let me read it if/when you do!
last summer i was working on a really extensive au comic based on a dream i had, where kass didnt die in the final battle and was instead put on trial in meridell with lisha acting as his defense for reasons of her own… it was a really cool concept but unfortunately ive never had the time to finish it, ahah :^P
hey folks, long time no see! ^^; ive gone thru a lot (a lot) of changes this past year, but logging onto neopets for AC season feels so comfortable and familiar, its really nice. lets all have a lot of fun this year! go team darigan!
*rises from my fucking grave of art school, art school deadlines, art school dropout procedures, and self motivated art productivity augmented by retail work* its time to stan darigan citadel once more i see
yall: (prepare for the upcoming plot responsibly, training their pets to contribute to advancing events along as well as obtaining sweet prizes and paticipating in an unique event)
me, an intellectual: (prepares by being 100% ready to do Absolutely Nothing Of Use the whole time but hopelessly fall in love with whatever characters are featured in the plot like a Fool)
my opinion on chias is that the food colors are really interesting and cool but however i couldnt bear to make my chia into a food , bc doing so would make it look less huggable and Soft .
