Hi there. I've been having so much fun following the Tales of Sexy polls. Its helped me get back into the Tales games after being away from the fandom for quite some time. I wonder if you or your followers might know of any nice fandom discord servers for Tales of? Or maybe Tales of Symphonia in particular (and one that's friendly to its sequel?) Not too hyper active but maybe bigger than just a group chat so I can lurk if I want. Thank you, I hope you have a lovely day.
Hey, I'm glad you had fun! The only server I know if is Vesperia specific, but I have heard traveller's tales of serves beyond the horizon, so I know they are out there.
If anyone has some server recs, sound off in the replies! Or reblogs or whatever.
On the server we're having a Winter Exchange and I was matched with @nessynoname to draw her Ventrue sweet sad boi, Elric!🥺 I had a lot of fun drawing Elric again and give him something to smile about :3
Btw if you like what you see and want a commission drop me a direct message on tumblr or a note on deviantart
Oh Book-Reader and Lore-Librarian: what the hell is The Seduction of Goratrix? (I didnt think it was real at first 😅) Have you read it? Is it really gay magic vampire "Fifty Shades of Gray of the World of Darkness" like one review I found said? If it is how the hell has vamblr not has a hey day with it like it did Eternal Hearts?
Sincerely, a very gay neonate
(PS Happy Pride 🏳️🌈)
Excuse me what--
It's real???
Nessy, @nessynoname you sent me on A Journey. Here I was, innocently reblogging bullshit and trying to find that one fan art of Beckett in heelies at 2am on a Saturday when my brain record-scratch careens into the road divider because The Seduction of Goratrix is NOT just a funny photoshop but a canon book for the World of Darkness.
im.
After some Internet searching, I found some sort of origin tale. The Seduction of Goratrix is, indeed, an erotica novella about Goratrix and Tremere fucking their way into undead society. The story has a frame narrative about how this account of the Tremere Clan's founding was discovered by an Anarch Tremere, Owen Liakos, which is why "Owen Liakos" is listed as the author. Rex Antilles is the Baron of Ithaca, New York, and published the story in order to embarrass the Camarilla.
It seems like same author wrote The Sword in the Tower. It's listed as the same contributor on DriveThruRPG. It's described as a "tell-all exposé of the romantic tryst between Scooter, Sabbat Malkavian Antitribu, and Maxwell Edison, Primogen of Clan Tremere of Buffalo, New York." Here the author is "Michael Flatz," and since I can't find any record of a Michael Flatz author on Amazon, GoodReads, Twitter, or Google, I think that's another pen name. Rex Antilles is mentioned again in the book description.
BUT NOW FOR THE PART THAT THREW ME. These are all some fans just like, manifesting???

Jamey is a writer in their own right as well. Their story appeared in the Ennie Award-winning Uncaged Anthology, vol 3, which, because the world is the size of potato, also has Ivory aka my favorite game writer in it???
Here is a little tweet about Owen and his husband that Jamey made for #VamilyPride, which is A Thing and probably how World of Darkness: Stories is getting their Pride series material.
I'm guessing vamblr hasn't lost their marbles over this because
it's new-ish. 2019 is the earliest tweet date I could find. Eternal Hearts was published in 1999 to a huge, LOUD amount of controversy and it's infamy continues to this day.
the people involved run in circles that don't seem to overlap with tumblr much. They seem more LARP and pen-and-paper focused. Tumblr talks about those activities too, but a bigger chunk focuses on the video games, particularly Bloodlines.
There was little to no marketing. Both titles are only available on DriveThruRPG. They're not listed on GoodReads, which is a feat because I can find the most obscure manga or not-officially-translated-to-English Chinese gay novel on GoodReads. They're not for sale on Amazon, or Gumroad, or Barnes & Noble, or fucking. Google Play.

nick is really good at working with his hands. he’s relatively handy, and he’s been semi-secretly working on jewelrycrafting in his free time.
a childhood headcanon
nick tries to forget he ever had a childhood that wasn’t as a feral child in the woods. he didn’t have friends in the compound for various upsetting reasons, and he spent most of his time in the woods pretending to be a wild animal.
Just heard about Moira. My little queer heart is aflutter guys. I think I may have just discovered my Overwatch waifu.
Super pumped that she’s a Support class character and seems to have abilities like Zenyatta, who’s currently my main. I’m extremely excited to see how she turns out.
