i like how lawrence fully knows what phineas and ferb + company are doing and has even seen it multiple times but because it’s not linda candace just doesn’t count it

at this point it’s about the principal of the thing to candace

also i hate the way the word principal is spelled

and the word business

in regards to your tags on my post haha, that was both Max and Carlos' debut race! -@hearteyespiastri

tysm !! how can I call myself a carcar when I didn't know that Oscar's chubby little face may have haunted Carlos' mind like a demonic cherub

bc it's insane that this is what they both looked like at the time

I suppose I should make a post to properly introduce myself once I’m back in the office this week..

Hmm..

Curious if there’s anything in particular I should tell you all, or that you might like to know.

Long walks anywhere but the beach (water..issues…) candlelit dinners, a few glasses of wine at dinner. You know, all the good stuff.

// Hello, welcome to my rp blog.

I’ll add more to this later, but for now here is some info:

My Silco is set in the AU from S2. I’ve made my own creative choices in his lore, so some things many not be ‘canon.’

This is just my take on how I think the AU would play out.

Silco is representing Zaun and the one Zaunite Councilor in Piltover, and it’s a lot of fun to explore the challenges and frustrations that come with that.

Feel free to:

Flirt

Ask Council and family related questions

Engage in RP with your own characters

Please do not:

Force quicker interactions

Assume or force sexualities, relationships, etc.

Flirt or engage with the admin unless an issue needs to be addressed.

Attempt a parasocial relationship with the admin or character.

To sum it up, please be respectful and remember that interactions with my character does not guarantee a friendship OOC. I’m simply here to have fun, and you should be too.

Hello, hey, dropping in with a query.

Since CS has officially concluded (congrats by the way!) I wanna ask about your own interpretation of Mother Nature.

She is absolutely my girl, I adore her, queen, but I wanna know how exactly she fits into the CS world structure. How does she keep looking so young when everyone else ages normally? What was her relationship to Mother Gaia? What kind of magical creature is she and was mother Gaia also the same kind? How does she fit into the government structure? HOW IS SHE SO TALL???

Idk, she's been on my mind a lot and I'm assuming we'll know a bit more about all that at some point but I can't wait that long lol

Thank you!! You know, it's so funny, bc while I was oot and aboot yesterday/Friday I was like "I can take a breather from writing, just focus on other things--" and not 24 hours later I had the Into the Shadows plotting doc open, as I finally figured out what happens in Chapter 7 🫠🫠

I WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE! But what can I say, I love this world and I love writing. Shit's FUN

ANYWAY. YOUR QUERY MY GOOD FRIEND. I COME WITH ANSWERS IN POINT FORM NOTES

It's all kinda rough tbh??? More like scattery thoughts if anything but HERE YOU GO! HAVE SOME CS LORE!

Okay okay so Mother Gaia was essentially the personification of ALL nature, and as such, could wield all Nature :) She looks like a sprite, tho, and for all intents and purposes would call herself a sprite--same with Mother Nature

This also checks out bc in CS, sprites are specifically fae who can control weather/nature/the elements! :)

Gaia was the Goddess's connection to the people, and got a little lonely when the Goddess was like "everyone is safe, things are going well, take it easy, Gaia!" so, she created a companion. A fellow personification of nature that she named Tara, who could do everything she could do

The Goddess gave her a light life, which is like a little ball of life that brings things to life (I am soo creative at naming things I swear) and Gaia used it to give Tara, well. life!

So, Mother Gaia was in all senses of the word, Mother Nature's Mother! Tara called her Mother and meant it in all the ways :)

Gaia trained her, raised her, loved her very very much and eventually started training her to take her own place one day

And that day came faster than expected for Tara when Mother Gaia fucking SNAPPED mid fae war and scorched the land to stop the fighting, in a stretch that has since NEVER GROWN BACK. It's known as the scar. Autumn lives close to it in modern-day CS.

Once that happened, Gaia was like APPALLED. She'd been just as bad as the fae fighting over who was best, using her powers for what she wasn't meant to use her powers for: hurting the Earth

She was beside herself; went to go talk to the Goddess and was gone for DAYS. All the fighting stopped, tho!

Then she and the Goddess came up with Rosehaven and the Call, and Gaia went with the old fae during the Call, leaving Tara to be the Next Mother Gaia

And she chose the title Mother Nature and here we are!

SO. In modern day CS, she is: the connection to the goddess for the magibeans, if they need her to be; guards the magic of creation/life/balance??? (a system I'm still trying to figure out lol, I'll have to dig up those notes at some point), and heads the Council with Father Time.

She's on the Assembly because when it was formed NOBODY felt right not having her on there, so she's kind of like. She's the approver of decisions lol. She lets them do their thing but if they ever come to an impasse they turn to her, and her word is essentially law

That's sort of why when the Twin Princes were born she was called to choose who'd rule next! Well, Gaia was, but Gaia left the decision to Tara as they were at That Point in training: POLITICS. If magibeans had an issue that couldn't be solved amongst themselves OR by the royals, MN/MG would be called upon and what she'd say, GOES

Which left for a lot of last minute swerves bc Gaia was clever and MN is just as clever. See: that story about the two people fighting over the chicken???? I forget what it was, anyway, the person presiding went CUT IT IN HALF and one was like okay cool! And the other was like SOB NO MY CHICKEN and the person deciding was like GOT EM LOL. That sorta shit.

In the event of an emergency, Mother Nature and the CS Governor (so Blaise since this mans just can't seem to lose an election, and he has TRIED some years) become de facto co-rulers and both have to agree on decisions before acting on them. This would be like. In a nasty war or like. end of the world circumstance kinda thing

SO YEAH SHE'S BASICALLY JUST THE HEAD BITCH IN CHARGE. KEEPS MOTHER FUCKERS IN LINE. WILL TELL PEOPLE IF WHAT THEY WANNA DO IS STUPID. ALSO, CONTROLS ALL NATURE AND KEEPS THE SEASONS GOING AND THE LIKE.

Why is she so young looking compared to everyone else? Well, if you asked her, she'd say you're only as old as you feel and offer no explanation. In terms of height, she'd look at you quizzically and go "Why not?" and that'd be her answer

this is Dani for "bc she can choose how to present herself and that's how she chooses too!"

kinda like Steven's gem reacting to his mindset sort of thing.

and also, tall Mother Nature just fucking SLAPS. She SHOULD be tall as FUCK! I subscribe to that! I LOVE tall MN. EVERYONE looks up to her--quite literally!

Except for like giants and trolls and other very tall magibeans and folklore creatures and the like 🤭🤭🤭

Hopefully I got all your questions! Thank you for asking! I LOVE thinking of early CS lore, it's so FUN and Mother Nature is one of my FAVES. I get so ragey in tsc fics where's she's written as a HUGE MEANER, super angry, etc etc and even borderline villain? GOD. I JUST. SHE'S A BADASS AND VERY SWEET AND EVERYONE FORGETS THE SWEET BIT!!! SHE WAS SO KIND TO SANTA AND THE OTHER LEGENDS IN THE MOVIES AND EVEN WHEN JACK WAS JACKING ABOUT, SHE WAS GENTLY CHIDING HIM!!!!!!! FUCK MAN! I'M GONNA EXPLODE JUST THINKING OF BAD MN CHARACTERIZATION! AH!

Please excuse the rant and uh, enjoy the heckin answer 😅😅😅

The Fall of the Ailnyk Galaxy

"The wielders... of the godslayers did... come together, and... they mostly killed... one another. When... when I could not... could not control Gan-- Ganrikkat, I... I saw it." --Varthenral

The Fourth Galactic War was by far the bloodiest and had the most casualties of any war that had come before. Millions upon millions of soldiers and civilians alike had lost their lives, and the armies of the four factions – the Alamo Empire, the Veriol Alliance, the Gerualdi Union, and the Nazdrovie Pact – were beginning to desert their posts and rebel. However, no treaties could be made. No side wanted to surrender. At last, the leaders came to an agreement: The godslaying weapons, in many ways, had been the cause of the war. It was only fitting, then, that they be the end of the horrific war.

The Alamo Empire had Ji Lhan and Eiorozziore – Reality's Edge and the Godbreaker, respectively. The Veriol Alliance's weapons were Feivelkt the Blazing Phoenix and Jadern Istrat Hnev, God's Final Breath. Zwehan Kut and Nascimedo, the New King and Fear's Birth, were in the possession of the Gerualdi Union. And, finally, Lagrímala the Last Tear and Oladani, Destruction Lust, were the weapons of the Nazdrovie Pact.

Each faction sent their “champions” – those capable of wielding the godslayers – to a particular battlefield. The Gerualdi Union and the Nazdrovie Pact, though their armies were less trained than the other two factions, were able to send two champions each, each one bearing one of the weapons. The Alamo Empire, on the other hand, only sent Captain Hretlakk Flametail, as she had trained with Ji Lhan and Eiorozziore for many years, and they did not have time to locate someone else capable of wielding a godslayer to help her. At first, it seemed the Veriol Alliance would also only have one champion, the wielder of Jadern Istrat Hnev, for Feivelkt's owner had gone into hiding and had ignored the summons.

On the eve of the bout, a young girl with Feivelkt appeared, claiming to be the younger sister of Feivelkt's owner. Her name was Gwyna Velkt, and she showed that she was capable of using the sword. Unsure of if the other Veriol champion could use both Feivelkt and Jadern Istrat Hnev, and feeling desperate to have a second champion on the field, the Veriol Alliance permitted Gwyna to fight on the behalf of the Veriol Alliance.

The bout's rules were simple. Fights would begun at dawn and end at dusk. To attack at night would violate the rules of the bout. One was permitted to take the godslayers of the fallen, but not to steal them from any living champion at night. Whoever's champion was alive last would be declared the victor of the Fourth Galactic War.

The last designation was awfully important, for the whole of the galaxy expected the wielders of the godslayers to tear each other apart with no survivors in the first day. The bout lasted three days.

On the first day, Gwyna Velkt, champion of the Veriol Alliance and wielder of Feivelkt, was immediately targeted by the other champions. She was young and foolish, and Feivelkt was weak in her hands. It is unclear who killed Gwyna, but everyone knew she was the first to die. The other Veriol champion quickly retrieved Feivelkt from her corpse. The sword spoke to the Veriol champion the moment that they obtained that sword of fire.

“You have a great destiny, and I shall aid you in fulfilling it.” Had those same words been spoken to Gwyna? Was this her “great destiny”? The Veriol champion had no time to mull over how unfair this was. Knowing they were outnumbered, they fled to higher ground to hide and attack from afar until the other champions' numbers had dwindled.

Hretlakk Flametail of the Alamo Empire was initially a perceived easy target, as Gwyna had been; Hretlakk was outnumbered no matter where she turned. However, Eiorozziore shielded her from her foes' attacks, and Ji Lhan forced her enemies to stay well out of her range. As the sun began to set, the wielder of Oladani – one of the Nazdrovie champions – grew desperate. Using the full extent of Oladani's power, the Nazdrovie champion rushed at Hretlakk and attempted to run her through. But Eiorozziore activated, shielding her from this fatal blow. The great powers of Oladani consumed the Nazdrovie champion, and they fell to the ground, nothing more than a crumpled corpse in a lake of blood. Fearing Oladani being used against her once more, Hretlakk took Oladani and left the battlefield.

All the while, Oladani whispered to her, imploring for her to kill the other champions while they did not suspect any attacks. She stuck the spear in the ground at her campsite, unwilling to obey the violent weapon's demands. However, even as she slept, the ghastly whispers of Oladani continued through the night.

The second Nazdrovie champion, the one with Lagrímala, feared that they would lose. Oladani's wielder had been the superior fighter of the two, and now they were outnumbered. Unlike Hretlakk or the Veriol champion, they didn't even have two godslayers to stand against the remaining champions. Unable to sleep and growing more and more desperate, the Nazdrovie champion took Lagrímala and searched for the nearest enemy campsite. They found the Gerualdi champions both fast asleep. Neither of them had thought to stand watch in the night just in case.

Conjuring up a monumental spell, the Nazdrovie champion incinerated the Gerualdi champions' camp. Once the flames had died down, they picked their way through the ashes and found their weapons: Nascimedo and Zwehan Kut.

“Last to be forged, first to take a life... Even now I can hear their screams,” came the ghastly whisper of Nascimedo as the Nazdrovie champion picked it up.

“I am indomitable, and you shall rule alongside me,” Zwehan Kut told the Nazdrovie champion.

Convinced that now they could win, the Nazdrovie champion went into hiding, intending to stay away from the battlefield until Hretlakk and the Veriol champion killed one another.

On the dawn of the second day, Hretlakk and the Veriol champion both noticed that the second Nazdrovie champion and the Gerualdi champions were missing. Realizing that something was amiss, they forged a temporary alliance to uncover what had happened the night before. They found the Gerualdi campsite completely torched. At first, the Veriol champion thought Hretlakk would accuse them of doing this, as they currently had Feivelkt and very well could have used the sword to consume the camp in a blaze of hellfire.

But Hretlakk believed the Veriol champion would not have used Feivelkt to do such a thing. The corpses were too charred to make out any recognizable features. Though it was unlikely that one of the bodies was the Nazdrovie champion, they could not rule out the possibility. What was certain, though, was that whoever had done this had Lagrímala, Zwehan Kut, and Nascimedo.

Hretlakk and the Veriol champion spent the rest of the day searching for the culprit. However, the Nazdrovie champion was clever and hid themselves using Lagrímala's magic. Knowing that they could not search forever, Hretlakk and the Veriol champion set up a camp. In the night, the Nazdrovie champion crept up on the all-too-obvious campsite. Seeing Hretlakk sleeping there with Oladani nearby, the Nazdrovie champion started to conjure a spell. An arrow struck them in the back, killing them instantly. The Veriol champion had been hiding nearby with Jadern Istrat Hnev, knowing that the one who had broken the rules would do so once again.

Hretlakk and the Veriol champion stared at one another for a long while. Hretlakk then packed up her things and wordlessly parted ways with the Veriol champion. Come dawn, they would have to fight one another as the last remaining champions. The Fourth Galactic War was not yet over.

When the sun rose, both Hretlakk and the Veriol champion were already waiting for one another. Neither of them had gone back to get the dead Nazdrovie champion's weapons. It was Ji Lhan and Eiorozziore against Jadern Istrat Hnev and Feivelkt.

Nocking an arrow to the godslaying bow, the Veriol champion opened fire on Hretlakk as she charged at them, Ji Lhan raised. The arrows stuck into Hretlakk's body, but her charge never slowed. Withdrawing Feivelkt, the Veriol champion knew that Eiorozziore had been what saved Hretlakk from being torn apart on the first day. If they could get that sword away from her, even the famous captain of the Alamo Empire could be killed.

The two struggled, exchanging blows and going back and forth until the Veriol champion slashed through Hretlakk's arm. Her hand, still gripping Eiorozziore in its dead grasp, fell to the ground. The Veriol champion charged and pierced Hretlakk's heart with Feivelkt, but it wasn't enough. Hretlakk raised Ji Lhan and, in a single swing, cut off the Veriol champion's head. The decapitated body fell back with a low thud. The only sound was the frantic panting of Hretlakk and the low sound of her blood dripping to the ground. Ripping Feivelkt out of her chest, she threw it to the ground.

The Fourth Galactic War was over.

The Alamo Empire immediately moved in to retrieve Hretlakk, cheering that they had won. But Hretlakk was still staring at the battlefield that was now the grave for the final victims of the war and their terrible godslaying weapons. She shook her heavy had and dropped Ji Lhan to the ground, where it fell by the side of the Veriol champion's corpse.

“We lost just as they did,” Hretlakk said. Falling to her knees, she shook her head once more. “We have all lost.”

Hretlakk's body was never moved from that battlefield, nor were any of the other champions'. Shortly after the bout ended and before the Alamo Empire could make any demands of those who had lost the Fourth Galactic War, a monstrosity emerged from Kyrol, soaked in the blood of the Ailnyk Galaxy's gods and proclaiming the end of any who would stand against him.

His name was Rotus.

Too divided and torn from the Fourth Galactic War, the major powers of the galaxy were unable to combat the menace. The galaxy fell into chaos, and it fell farther and farther until there was nobody left to stand against Rotus.

The survivors called this event, “The Fall of the Ailnyk Galaxy.”
