Tomodachi life on my friends PC!! My OCs!! I can’t use the paint tool for the life of me so they’re #normcore (joke)

Of course Mala and Neferuptah were made first, the girlfriends who aren’t actually girlfriends yet are on their (not so long) journey to yuri!! Huzzah!!

Featuring reference to Malas older brother, Dezod, the embodiment of chaos!! They’ve been VERY much estranged for centuries! It’s really bittersweet to see them get along because in the original draft, they were INCREDIBLY close friends.

Purge?

maybe dezod killed rowena's family and framed the dragonriders

which also incenses cassius bc they don't get involved in politics

rowena wants not just revenge but justice against the dragonriders

that's part of why she learned dark magic -- dezod v kindly offering to teach her -- to stand up to the dragonriders

the armies and ppl want that too bc their beloved rulers were killed

maybe dezod didn't count on any dragonriders surviving -- he thinks perhaps cassius might kill him?

maybe dezod is planting seeds of the rift between cassena so that she'll kill him

possibly she had a sibling??? who was a dragonrider????

maybe rowena was away when her fam was killed and she thinks she would've died too

maybe dezod made himself appear to be rowena to manipulate arthur, alex, and avelina into doing what they do to serve his future goals etc????

maybe if there's a dragonrider bro, he tells them that rowena must be tryna power grab or smth????

WORKSHOP ARTHUR, ALEX, AVELINA situation

rowena needs to be more involved -- why is she the villain?

maybe droyn and elionora are doing smth controversial? idk

Ways in which Roran and dezod are already character fouls w/o is even trying *high fives you and our past selves*

Both go to extremes! But handle them v differently. Roran’s extremes are things like raising a helpless baby drsgon that hatched gif him despite knowing the risks. Dezods are ‘have you ripped out your pregnant sister in laws heart yet abd brought me your little brother to eat yet? Great! Have a complementary dragon egg. Your dragon will get to you in five to nine business days.’

Both are born from death. Roran’s an orphan who doesn’t remember his parents rip. Dezods literally a reanimated corpse. But. Yknow.

Both believe in the restoration of magic/specifically on a quest to restore their order. I don’t feel like I really need to elaborate on this one bc just…that’s it, that’s the show.

Both are, uhhh, attaining helpers/disciples and accumulating powers. Roran restores the drsgon riders abd aid’s the resistance. Dezod eats his not!daughter alive…to each their own.

Both are tempted by but ultimately reject revenge for a purer path!!! Roran re:cassius in general but esp after Charles. Sadly dezod is past this in our timeline but that’s what his whole immediately after death arc is about, but still he’s shown to have ~been there~ done that.

I had more in mind when I started this list but anyway!!!! This is honestly so great that we’ve already got this going!!!! I’m so stoked!!!! We’re poets and we didst not knowest it

[odrseasonone]

think i mentioned this vocally asp -- but re: dezod and why ppl aren’t like ‘uhhhh why you literally employing that dude who started an arrington vs arrington cvil war way back when as part of your council of peace’ i think the entity known to have done that was daerion the destroyer, and those stories are probs still told in some form or another and probs ironically part of why wizards are hated even tho he was fighting to free magic and mages at the time <3 dezod is probs still considered a ~questionable entity for obv reasons aljflkjsdf but i think he’s just sorta known as a dark wizard dude whose not quite right  in the head tbqh but isn’t seen as like a full fledged monster like daerion the destroyer but fun fact time they turn out to be the same person in the end <3 but ppl don’t assume that bc that was like a thousand years ago or whatever and yknow you just don’t assume that’s the same dude aldksjfajlf

if anything, perhaps this is seen as a weird and outlandish choice, but one of inclusivity on rowena’s part -- actually letting mages have a voice!! even if their weird af alsdkjfljksf

1.01 -- The Death of Guy de Lacy Subplot

OBJECTIVE: retrieving the dragon egg

TYPE: Collecting FOCUS: Character Plot MAIN ADVERSARY TYPE: Henchmen

WHAT DO WE EXPECT? We expect that Guy de Lacy will prevail and perhaps even become a dragonrider.  None of these things pan out.

WHAT MUST THE CHARACTERS LEARN: The characters/audience learn what's at stake for Roran Degrey, Charles Degrey, the Eastern Resistance, and anyone who helps them.

Act I

INTRO GOAL: Play keep-away with Rowena and the dragon egg.  He decides to do this by giving the egg to the Resistance, who has the best chance of finding its Rider, etc.

INTRO ENEMY: We meet Cassius literally murdering a ton of people.  He then goes on to murder a bunch more.  It's obvious that he's super nice.

INTRO SITUATION: Dezod, of course, outlines some of this when he hands over the egg in the inciting action for this particular plot-point and Guy decides that he must deliver the egg to the Resistance.

Act III

FALSE ENDING: Guy meets with the Resistance!!  It's all going so well... FINAL SHOWDOWN: Cassius murders not only Guy, but also an entire village, to ensure their position.  Yet, unbeknownst to him, there are survivors, anyway...

Sir Guy de Lacy, a decorated war hero, returns from the Southern Wars.  Upon his return, he is greeted by a mysterious figure who turns out to be Dezód Destriksyon and gifted with a dragon egg, which he is instructed to keep away from Rowena Godiva and Cassius Montagu, no matter the cost. 

At the next session of the Privy Council, Dezod informs the company of what Guy has and where he will be.  He is promptly hunted down and killed by Cassius. 

Ironically enough, in terms of the overall structure of the show, this is essentially a side adventure in which Cassius serves as the protagonist and Dezod as the unseen antagonist.  Guy and the Eastern Resistance both act as henchmen to Dezod in terms of the flow of this particular plotline.  Of course, Cassius is in turn the henchman of Rowena, but she mostly serves as a symbolic leader in terms of plot action, rather than the protagonist.  Though, in some sense, this is the case, in terms of the viewers and in terms of this particular plotline not seen within the larger context, Cassius is rather clearly the antagonist and Guy the protagonist -- the antagonist simply wins this round and this plotline has, of course, the structure of a tragedy.
