day seven - end

"I like purple, purple's safe."

- season 3 episode 3 "Settling In, Part II"

I can't believe I missed the ten year anniversary of the Blackrock Chronicles a year ago and I’m still devastated over it I blame covid FR. I'm really grateful there was a community week to celebrate the last episode thanks to @yogscastshipbracket! the prompts were really fun and it was great seeing everyone else's interpretations of each prompt as well. I have so many unused ideas I might spend some time after christmas sketching them out, hopefully,,,

day four - stories

Rythian crumpled to the ground, dropping to his knees as his clenched fists struck the earth, letting out a cry that aggravated the heavens. “Rythian!” Familiar voices called out from behind him. A vapor of lavender magic escaped his eyes as they fluttered open, returning him back to reality. His throat burned, did he scream while he was in a daze? He felt cool droplets running down his face, were those tears? Or perhaps it was the rain, it had to be the rain. Regardless, Rythian quickly rubbed his face with a hand before the girls arrived. Kirsty and Briony finally found him. “There you are! You made us worried sick,” Kirsty scolded him with her hands on her hips while Briony sat beside him with a paw on his back as she carried a worried look. They were lucky to find him unharmed thanks to that deafening cry. Rythian sat back on his knees, turning towards them, “I’m…” he paused, swallowing any saliva he had to cool his throat, “I’m sorry. Let’s go home.”

a message to zoey and rythian,

thank you for creating the blackrock chronicles, it is a wonderful immersive series that is loved by many to this day. also thank you for choosing to not finish the series. it was a hard decision to make but being burnt out is honestly awful and building sets with the limitations you had in a cubed world as well as with limited time is difficult, I know both experiences very well,,, used to build for a minecraft server to the point of burn out. nonetheless the unfinished series allowed us, the fans, a chance to have fun with our own crazy versions of an ending and opened doors to many AUs and headcannons we get to share with one another. I struggle to write whether it was for school or as a hobby to this day, however this series has always been a big motivator when I try to write and I'm grateful. thank you again

hey are you familiar with xenomorphs?

Yogscast: Tales of Arcadia AU

"god the yogs are so tales of arcadia coded im not ok, my thoughts are on hyper speed"

ok so quick summary of what tales of arcadia is for everyone at home graciously provided by wikipedia. a lot of the current timeline of the au is gonna focus on trollhunters so our main protagonist can have some development even though I thought of some scenarios outside of the current timeline whoops

Tales of Arcadia is a trilogy of animated science fantasy television series created for Netflix by Guillermo del Toro and produced by DreamWorks Animation and Double Dare You. The series comprising the trilogy follows the inhabitants of the small suburban town of Arcadia Oaks, which is secretly home to various supernatural creatures and the young heroes who fight against the forces of evil that lurk in the shadows. The three installments of the trilogy, Trollhunters, 3Below and Wizards, have been released worldwide.

- wikipedia

Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia... follows the story of James "Jim" Lake Jr., a teenage boy who finds a mysterious amulet and stumbles across a secret realm inhabited by trolls and other magical creatures. Soon afterward, he and his friends are charged with protecting the world from the dangerous monsters that lurk in the shadows of their small suburban town.

- wikipedia

so basically this au is filled with magical creatures (trolls), aliens (akiridions), and wizards which is so yogs based!!! there are also beings called changelings who can switch between human and troll.

I imagine a lot of the old gen yogs as non-human and older, while the new gen are mainly human and as teens/young adults like kirsty who is human, however there are a few exceptions like briony who is a troll. technically briony isn't a teen because trolls live for a very long time though she is younger than some of the other trolls. I plan on adding more new gen yogs but need to figure out what role they would play in the au instead of them being just bystanders/background characters. I also intend on adding more SOI characters but I need to refresh myself on the lore

in the under cut I've assigned everyone as either a troll, akiridion, wizard, changeling or human. don't mind the extra bits, I'll explain those in another post along with some dynamics between characters

ALSO, quick note I'm gonna try to be very low-key with our resident demi-gods since the arcane order is a big spoiler in the trilogy. I'll tag posts accordingly to avoid spoilers if y'all are interested in watching the series
