So in light of Eric Bogosian accidentally dropping big spoilers for Season 2 (DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW) (also I love Assad springing into action over it I love him):
-spoiler cut-
Presumably one of these 'ancient institutions' is the Talamasca, right? Would the other be Those Who Must Be Kept?
If so, the involvement of both definitely seems to indicate the fandom is 100% right that Marius and/or David Talbot may be showing up. And might be this dude right here.
In like a little more than an hour. I literally JUST finished this!!
I’ve been cooking up this thing’s premise in my brain for WEEKS!!
Will I write for it? Yes.
Will it be now? Haha! Absolutely not!! I know when to limit myself! I’ve got like 3 whole ass fics to juggle around!! [:
Under the read more because this is very much spoilers! Also, since this is still a loose concept, whatever I write here is vulnerable to being retconned/rewritten! Be warned!
I finally learned how to draw Siff, lmfao. I forgot his cowlick on the Siff doodle page!
Introducing…
The Bell Berserker AU! After loops and loops of running around, not finding out anything… Siff essentially snaps, and in some way (haven’t ironed that out yet!) he manages to get a suitable neck piece for the bell pendant! Turns out that this pendant really WAS special!!
(Okay, this will very likely NOT be late ACT 4, now that I’ve written that. More like mid to late ACT 3 or early ACT 4, maybe?)
Due to the pendant’s extreme effects, Siff had to figure out how to Craft themselves a new weapon over tons of loops (it was super difficult, do you think this rogue knows how to do anything besides slice up enemies, detect traps, and pun?)
Now Siff has another problem… How will he adjust his Craft to accommodate this thing? He’s never used anything other than blades for fighting before!
Exposition over! Here’s his design (for now.)
Let me know if it’s hard to see, I’ll alpha lock the layer and recolor the linear- (cough) sketches!
Also, let know what y’all think, I was so impatient to get this out that I couldn’t move past the sketch stage and decided to make my cleaner sketch layer 100% opacity, lmao. (As if I didn’t practically turn it into lineart by cleaning it up more-)
Bitch it’s a fetish horror game that I recently got into, it’s a survival game where u get kidnapped by different killers and have 2 try and survive/romance them! There’s definitely tons of shit that most ppl don’t wanna see so be warned before u check it out, and do NOT check it out if ur a minor
hm. i think lucy is short for lucinda but she only uses her full name for formal documents. i don't think people use it to refer to her. that's what lucy is for!
Ok but I just hit Chap 9.1 of Otogi and I spent the last 3 sections screaming about that twist (spoilers under cut)
which was obvious in retrospect considering how the story has gone so far but I legit for a heart-stopping moment thought that Hijiri and Echo really were the evil masterminds and hooo boy the feelings I felt when they extended the offer to MC to either serve under them or be wiped from existence... Ahaha, gosh how did Otogi find my secret kink???
Now I really, really want bad end AU where MC did accept the ultimatum and became the reluctant vassal to Sakuma Hijiri and while they act devoted, secretly they try to be subversive when possible if the orders are too extreme.
Also my MC will always be nonbinary and wow, what kinda magnetic personality..??
