Commission for @moofahdrome featuring @shirley-fizz-grenadine! Thank you so much :>

did you ever run into a large, cloth-masked bug down in the ruins of the kingdom? she was very confident, very assertive. it may seem a bit odd to compare you to such an unusually loud explorer, but something in her reminded me of you. I'd hope that if you were to meet, she wouldn't rub you the wrong way - or if she did, that both of you would part still as healthy as you met.

I remember seeing a traveller like that. Although she appeared strong, I suspected that her skills were lacking. I did not think she would cause any trouble to the kingdom, but any trouble she brings to herself I won’t help with. Whatever resemblance you may see between us, I leave up to you.

As with most other travellers, she should know better than to enter Hallownest unprepared. I cannot say that I would pity her if her fate went sour, but she would earn my respect if she proved herself able to stand against what the kingdom has to offer.

This is fantastic so far!!! You're doing a great job illustrating the crazy magic shit that goes down in Eidolon, and all the characters are so fun and expressive and animated! Kudos to both you and your play group, this is fantastic.

This might get revealed in the next chapter lol but mind if I ask what each Eidolon is/does? Hang 'em All is a Vanguard if I've ever seen one, and Heartlines could not be more of a Navigator, but Rebel Rebel seems like it could be either a Vanguard or an Alchemist and we just haven't seen enough of its power to tell yet. Smooth Flow was a little confusing for a sec but then Juno used Soul Hacker and Noclip lol so they've gotta be a Veteran Inhuman, right? I'd still love to hear the specifics of each ability, since as of chapter 2 we only know Heartlines and Smooth Flow.

Thanks again for translating such a fun story! I really can't wait to see more.

Hey, thank you so much for your kind ask!

@theartsycanary, @cc-cc-cc-cc-cc-cc-cc-cc , and the rest of our group put a lot of effort into designing these sillay characters, and the magic shit only gets crazier as things go on. The Eidolon system is a ton of fun to play and we're all pretty passionate about the story we're telling.

All of your class assignments were pretty much spot on! Rebel Rebel is a Vanguard- we'll be seeing more of him and Illy in chapter 2.

As for the abilities of our main group:

Hang 'Em All: "My Eidolon obliterates my enemies by cutting them with razor sharp wheels."

Rebel Rebel: “My Eidolon obliterates enemies by imploding them.”

Heartlines: “My Eidolon can perfectly sense stress in the area around it.”

And Juno's: “My Eidolon is a real, physical staff, and when I use it I can see the future.” ;)

what are some of your favorite stories! yours, other people's, small, big, etc! that's probably a big thing to think about so if you want something specific ummm recommend me a writer or three!

man!!! okay excellent question. i think ill still do three but ill talk about different things with each one; bear in mind that this is like, off the top of my head, so its not Definitive (ill try to sneak em in as honorable mentions but even stuff with a huge impact on me is gonna be harder to think of/talk about if it was like ten years ago, yknow?)

oh, and if you want to read my stories, you can see those here =3c

Kill Six Billion Demons

this one probably has to be The Bar for quality in my mind, at least at the moment.

82 White Chain Born In Emptiness Returns To Subdue Evil (yes, full name) has maybe one of the most compelling character arcs i've ever read;

the art is stunning, and the worldbuilding incredibly thorough (in a way that makes the history of the world feel dynamic and relevant, rather than just being tons of lore to sift through);

the fights whip ass and the logic of the cool shit that the characters do is directly tied to the underlying view the story has about Power™, which directly influenced my thought process for a lot of the plot details of "Dawnsister";

and, sort of related to the two previous points, the entire thing is just so fucking coherent, thematically speaking. all the side stories and bits of hover text, all the bits of commentary and passages from fictional manuscripts in the image descriptions, weave together and do some really good allegorical storytelling for the messages Abaddon wants to send (and to underline/counterpoint whats happening in the comic itself), and the details tend to come back later to be relevant in a big way

its just. high marks on literally every metric i can think of. this is the kind of "every line (both kinds) is crammed with intent and nothing is wasted" stuff i wanna do with my writing

(honorable mention for this category: Everything Everywhere All At Once, for sheer quality of writing and similar levels of "god they planned this from the fucking start". one of the only films to make me cry)

Homestuck (im not linking it we all know this one)

i have less to say about this, but i think its one of the stories that's had the biggest stylistic impact on my writing. i was kind of doing it even before reading homestuck but it SUPER cemented it: the 2nd-person voice and the fuckery where a character's thoughts, the narrator's description of a scene, and instructions from the audience/in-universe sources of Brain Interference all blend together is something i keep coming back to in both 3rd-person limited perspective AND 2nd-person (typically transformation-related) work

it also takes all the "using every possible avenue for Additional Storytelling" thing that i was describing about KSBD and ratchets it the fuck up. like this comic is repeatedly the benchmark for "what kind of weird, media-mixing, format-breaking shit can i do with comic panels and text rendering", even if i dont plan to dabble in webpage shenanigans like Hussie did

(i cant think of an honorable mention here, but i liked the way Tyranny presented lore and history to you in hyperlinks in the text, so that you could just HAVE background information your character would have instead of having to Do Exposition. also check out Vast Error if you liked the shit homestuck was doing with multimedia storytelling)

Ascension: Tales of Twin Tails

this one is just one of my favorites. out of this list its for sure been the most impactful on me personally, in like an identity sense at least. this shit transed my gender and othered my kin. its one of the only OTHER pieces of media to ever make me teary-eyed. its about being transgender extremely literally but also in some really creative And Also Extremely Dope ways

the fight scenes are about as grand in scope as the ones in KSBD, and the way that magic works in the setting is just about as thematically-strong (and also offer lots of room for insight about the characters, as well as self-reflection for the reader to have fun with).

the relationships are really, really well-done, and there are scenes that stick with me two years later as just strikingly and stunningly tender and intimate and vulnerable; the characters are just as strong (Coyotl is like, Top Three with White Chain, and if you know anything about me at all you know that Cat Kitten became my entire identity for months after reading it)

read it please read it i will evangelize this novel until the end of time

(honorable mention as far as having an effect on Me As A Person is probably like..... Night in the Woods; super super natural dialogue, lots of compelling relationship turmoil and hit some fears that were Extremely Relevant to me at the time of my life that i played it)

ty for asking btw!! i hope you get around to enjoying one of these =^w^=
