...Wait.

If Malipo is cursed to "die a violent death unexpectedly and violently"... What about his death in the Night Kingdom?

He was young, it was unexpected, and quite violent (getting stabbed in the chest by a Rifthound sounds pretry violent). All intents and purposes, he DIED that day.

Wouldn't that... wouldn't mean the "curse" was technically fullfilled? He died, and it was an unknown Celestial force from the vision that drove his corpse to victory. Only then did the Ode revive him alongside the others.

Wouldn't that mean, he's actually no longer under the "curse"?

[storybenderstudios]

U know I always thought of this.

It makes sense, in a way. He died and came back, so yah. I'm drinking my copium juice and saying this is it, this was how Kinich "died" he lives a nice long life, finds love, blah blah.

HE'S. FINE!

[nickelwick]

Eh? What's going on now?

[storybenderstudios]

I think there's a new show about Kai!

Idk what it's called tho.

[ruinedcasket]

outfit swap :>

[storybenderstudios]

This single-handedly made my night so much better.

I'm a Brant main, and a Kinich-main-wannabe, so this was just - *mwah* Chef's kiss!

[storybenderstudios]

Again? Or is it just my data?

Well, damn.

I'm on a car trip with the fam and fanfic were the only thing keeping me sane.

[storybenderstudios]

Thank God for phone tabs. I can reread some fics I had opened. Thank you phone. (Also if u play hsr, like canon divergence, and found family read this fic when ao3 is back up, it's really good!)

@totaleclipse573 @the-sky-queen @infinitegunshot @rae-unbeloved @talisetekt @edgyhedgie @funkyfandomlover @nori-the-axolotl @burningasters and literally everyone else who hadn’t been tagged yet

^Just in case this starts spreading to other fandoms, which is definitely a possibility with how these things tend to spread as well as if they go after blogs that don’t even post content

I’ll be turning Media asks off and if needed i’ll turn my asks completely off, but for now it will be media asks only that will be off until new years, or the 26th if it stops by then.

Stay safe everyone <3<3<3<3

[happyfacelol]

OKAY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE

[icy-watch]

Thank you for the heads up.

Just to protect myself, I'll be turning off media asks in a few moments. Text asks will still be an option, but anything with videos and images will be turned off for a few days.

Keep safe, everyone!

[phantomninjin]

@kirstsshake @crystaleclipse10 @da1stninjagofangirl

Please take care. I turned off my asks today. We can't let this happen

[crystaleclipse10]

Why do people do this

Thank you for the warning, I'll be turning off asks now

Not sure who's seen/heard this so:

@nickelwick @kittenninja14 @hijabiwriter @wisteriixa @guplia @greenamethyst-16 @ezras-left-thumb @lloydskywalkers @lloydlings @mossrockman @dzyntara & everyone else who sees this

[nickelwick]

This is just awful. Thank you for the warning. Let's stay safe out there yall.

@pinkytoothlesso11 @goatswithtoast @riicahr @wawe-z @storybenderstudios @jasperatedd @lionessprince @officercooks and anyone else who sees

[storybenderstudios]

This is a really really late reblog, but better late than never! Thank you @nickelwick for the ping! @sapphireshineonao3

^ Sapphire, I bet you might know about this friend, since you are more tech savy than I am, but you are the only one I happen know on this site and I am really hoping nothing horrid happens to you.

Why people would do this is akin to wondering why people argue with me about my favorite fanfic tropes. aka, the answer is: "idk man, they just do it for some reason."

Stay safe and have a happy holiday(s) and a happy new years!

[storybenderstudios]

OHHHHH - *dramatic "faint"* - THEY GOT ME, OHHHH. aka, Storybender now plays Honkai Star Rail! ...Sunday's fantastic design kept catching my eye and after like 50 times staring at the HSR part of the hoyo start-up page, I finally gave in and installed. I do not regret it. But to the point - I find it hilarious how this line from March implies that before we could renovate, we were literally sleeping on a box. Trash Panda Trailblazer for the win i guess.

[storybenderstudios]

"I didn't know you were such a slacker!" - Kaeya, 2024, all day on his birthday, merrily roasting me every time I stopped for longer than 5 seconds.

Just like old times, eh? Wanna have a drink, oh mighty Pirate Knight of Khaenri'ah Mondstadt? Happy, happy, happy birthday Kaeya. I wish you all the best and all the love. Truly I tell you: I went from: "Oh...he's cool but I have Chongyun!" to "Oh he's alcoholic! I can't play him!" to "Hmmmm his lore is pretty interesting, wdym he's from Khaenri'ah?" to "OH NO, PROTECT THIS GUY AT ALL COSTS!" You know. As you do. Even thought lore-accurate Kaeya would probably laugh at me for wanting to protect him. I still want to.

[storybenderstudios]

*shoves this TERRIBLE sketch of human Ajaw at certain people (cough, @sapphireshineauthor cough) and runs like my life depends on it* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ok so finals are arriving, plus all my classes decided that their last test before finals just simply had to be one week before said finals, so I'm literally swimming in tests right now.

And projects. Lots and lots of autoethnographies and lots and lots of Biology haikus. Nice. Not a lot of drawing time, since I've been prioritizing my gaming (400 free primos from exploration with saurians that can fly, this is literally the fastest I've ever explored a region. Fontaine can't come close.)

So explaining the design... Since Ajaw is sort of a rogue, I went with the treasure hoarders' bandanas, bcs, aha, Dragons hoard things. Also I went with a colorful (eventually) patterned tunic because Ajaw would be a parrot if he was IRL and he seems like the type of person to wear orange with purple on a daily basis and think he look cool. I'm dead serious. (nothing wrong with purple and orange when done right, I'm talking neon.) And that's pretty much it. I'm still not sure how much I like this. As it turns out, drawing a pixel dragon and turning a pixel dragon into a human version are two entirely separate beasts. Same goes for dragon Kinich versus human Kinich. My fucks are given. Wtf these two have no right to have such unforgiving designs.

Anyways, the hydro dragon, Monsieur Neuvillette returns December 10th, and with my 55 pity, 108 wishes and a guarantee, he's coming home! Yay! My only concern is that since I'm f2p I will have to skip Mavuika or Citali....or both, because Arlecchino is rumored to be coming back in the same banner as Mavuika... Fuck this terrible banner system.

[storybenderstudios]

f*ck me. I need Sucrose. I also want Ororon. Do ya THINK maybe mihoyo would've been considerate and put Sucrose or Ororon in stage 2????

Of course not. I'm gonna have to do 10 single pulls and literally pray that I don't pull Lyney or Chasca now....yAy... (backstory on this, I have a guaranteed limited five star with 40 pity, planned on saving it for Neuvillette or Arlecchino, whoever came first, found out Ororon was being released, was conflicted, built a team for Neuvillette anyways, needed a good swirl anemo, told everyone that it would be great if Sucrose reran with Nevillette since she's a fairly great swirl anemo, and found out the phase four stars this morning - !!!)

I'm cooked.

Any thoughts on the likelihood of me accidentally pulling a five star ;-;

[storybenderstudios]

No one. Absolutely no one: Me: *sounding suspiciously like Ajaw* "MWAHAHAHAHAAAA, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TRIAL HIM IN THE FESTIVAL SWORD EVENT, HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA" Have a Kinich, and use him too, is all I'm saying.

[storybenderstudios]

Caught myself a dragon in a raid and decided it looked like it was made of pixals.

...and thus, I had to do the naming thing.

Hello K'uhul Ajaw. (Never MIND the fact that this Druddigon is female, please, I can't. All of the Druddigons I fought were female I couldn't- *genuinely distressed suffering Storybender noises*)

[storybenderstudios]

Idk fam, Kittynich might be a greater thing than Scarameow.

Just saying. (I find the cat Scara and cat Xiao stuff hilarious so yeah, I love all the little Emos equally.) @sapphireshineonao3 Come get yo cat. Thanks for the refs of the nightsoul state x'D (It's remarkable how human Ajaw was immediately kicked to the curb temporarily once this idea swarmed into my brain....huh.)

[storybenderstudios]

Just for the record, the Human Ajaw concept you proposed has NOT left my brain, even now...

So, in this instance, I have a question.

What would the reaction/interaction be if Human Ajaw and Dragon Kinich met canon Kinich and Ajaw? Chalk it up to leyline issues or some kind of magic mumbo jumbo.

Because I can immediately see Human Ajaw wanting to duel Kinich and proudly proclaim 'his dragon' is better. Canon Ajaw takes offense.

Sidenote and throw in Fatui!Kinich as well and he's just observing the whole thing quietly, unamused and confused as he normally is.

AHHHHH I'M SO SORRY I WASN'T CHECKING MY TUMBLR (heartbroken) YES yes yes, Human Ajaw is basically: "Fight my dragon, my dragon's better!" Dragon Kinich: "But that guy is just human me, so...technically you're also saying, he's also better." (little wisdom noodle)

Human Ajaw: "..... *confused error noises*" Meanwhile normal Ajaw is screaming about heresy, and how he, the Great Dragonlord, can pummel a measly worm (noodle dragons! No Ajaw!) and a little insignificant human.

Normal Kinich: "But that's human you. You just called yourself insignificant. And you also called your servant insignificant." Fatui Kinich would be the definition of a meme where everyone is partying, and then there's just that one guy in the corner looking SO uncomfortable you just want to bundle him away. Poor fella. ⬇️ POV: Fatui Kinich and Fatui (???? is he technically fatui too???) Ajaw watching the showdown

[storybenderstudios]

What if you...

Wanted to honor and show your love for your favorite fandoms by drawing fanart of some of the characters/favorite character designs? But the official models/designs said: "We're gonna be as complicated and intricate as you cannot imagine." And you know if you forgo or mess up one (1!) singular detail that character will look a little less like that character, and thus you will feel upset? my "hitlist" of artistic rage: 1) any genshin character 2) any ninjago outfit starting from Possessed and onwards.

I think the designers/artists MUST be making these designs are difficult to draw as possible, so as to weed out the insane artists from the sane. (i'm going insane)

ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE OR AM I JUST CRYING ABOUT THIS LIKE A CHILD(E).

[storybenderstudios]

If ororon is like, half bat, can he find stuff by… screaming?

Friend, I'm almost hoping that this will be gameplay x'D I love bats! But I doubt Ororon can use echolocation...If he can, it's probably more of a high-pitched clicking/whistling noise. Maybe. (but on the other hand, imagine all our six heroes just chilling, at the hot springs, and Ororon lost his kamera, so he just. Stands up and screams on the top of his lungs???) (man, I'd pay actual money to see that)
