(Things were different in development of Never Say!, should this be an indie video game or a indie show, or maybe an exclusive tumblr comic of sorts? These questions makes me wonder about this series’s)

Since at this point it would take a miracle for the fey campaign not to be one of the poll winners, here's some more information about my vision for the fey and their courts.

Gather your intel, bury your secrets, hide your weapons, ready your spells, don your regalia, and leave all your morals and inhibitions at the door, friends. The Gala Antheia is upon us once more, and the fun's about to begin...

Fey and the Feywild

The Feywild is magic incarnate and the source of all arcane power. It is a fantastical reflection of the mundane Material Plane and the fey are the beings who inhabit it. All fey are inherently magical but different fey have different specialties and interests. Fey that are like one another tend to flock together, and over time these biases led to the formation of nine fey courts—the six natural courts and three material courts.

Fey don't just use magic for power, they need it to sustain themselves. If their connection to magic is severed, fey creatures are fundamentally and irreversibly changed (they may perish, if they're lucky, or they may be transformed into someone or something else entirely). This need for magical control is a source of great strife and conflict and tends to exacerbate the courts' already complex relationships with one another.

The Natural Courts

The six natural courts are concerned solely with the Feywild. The physical courts and their members remain in the Feywild year-round and most hold strong prejudices against the inhabitants of the Material Plane, seeing non-magical creatures as trivial, inferior, or pathetic. The natural courts are almost always at war with at least one other court (if not more). The natural courts are:

The Seelie Court - magic centering around light and the sun, earth and dirt, warmth and drought (at their strongest in the summer)

The Unseelie Court - magic centering around darkness and moonlight, air and smoke, water and storms (at their strongest in the winter)

The Gloaming Court - magic centering around dawn and dusk, twilight and stars, fire and stone (at their strongest in the spring and autumn)

The Marine Court - magic centering around the sea and underwater life, creatures of the shores and the abyss (unaffected by the seasons)

The Faunal Court - magic centering around animals and beasts, notorious and curious shapeshifters (unaffected by the seasons)

The Sylvan Court - magic centering around plants and fungi, vines and flowers, myconids and some insectoids (unaffected by the seasons)

There are three sets of rivals, courts that despise one another and are constantly vying for dominance against one another:

Seelie vs. Unseelie, Gloaming vs. Sylvan, Marine vs. Faunal

There are also three sets of allies, courts that consider one another to be their closest supporters in their power struggles:

Seelie & Sylvan, Gloaming & Faunal, Unseelie & Marine

(I've literally drawn out a little Venn diagram looking thing for the court's main relationships)

The Material Courts

The material courts align themselves more with the Material Plane. They are still deeply invested in the Feywild and as concerned with magic as all other fey, but these three courts find themselves drawn to the nonmagical world and its inhabitants for various reasons. While these courts don't get along with one another, they are known to have shifting alliances with the natural courts and have been known to turn the tide in many a power struggle. Despite this, the natural courts tend to look down on the material courts due to their great interest in something the natural courts view as inherently lesser. Likewise, the material courts tend to see the natural courts as old-fashioned, pretentious, and lacking in vision and ambition.

The Court of Wonder - associated with grander, more impressive magic, thrives off of awe and worship, grants showstopping miracles and fantastical spectacle

The Court of Craft - associated with subtle, almost hidden magic, grants reprieve, pursues knowledge, driven by curiosity, creates unnoticed, everyday gifts

The Court of Ruin - associated with destruction and disruption, grants nothing and steals all it desires, driven by hunger and thirst, thrive off of chaos and frustration

The Anthesis and the Gala Antheia

The Anthesis is a surge of magic that occurs roughly once every two to three years. It doesn't follow a strict calendar and raw magic must be studied and observed overtime to predict when the next Anthesis will occur. The Anthesis is a boon to all fey because it provides a welcome, restorative supply of magic.

The Gala Antheia is a 15-day long festival celebrating the Anthesis. It is a time and place of "peace" where each court is invited to share and celebrate their unique perspectives, innovations, and talents. It is also the premiere spot for politics and matchmaking. The sidhe, the fey nobility, utilize the gala as an opportunity to strengthen connections with other courts and secure political deals, trades, secrets, and marriages. There is no better place for love and gossip. The Gala Antheia is also a time of jubilation and the parties thrown by the fey are uniquely absurd and chaotic.

All fey who run the gala are known as antheists and relinquish all ties and duties to their courts while setting up and running the event.

The first three days are run solely by the antheists and are meant to establish neutral, common ground. One day is then given to each court to showcase their best and demonstrate their power to the rest. The final three days are run by the antheists but are meant to be a synthesis of what each court has brought to the proverbial table.

In the fey campaign you would be able to play as a member of the sidhe (or perhaps one of their attendants) looking to further your own goals or the goals of your court through political moves, underhanded tricks, romantic arrangements, intimate entanglements, and more.

Since it's the beginning of the end, I will try to liveblog tonight -- assuming I can get a decent signal.

I woke up around 1:30AM after just a few hours of sleep, though, and could never get more than 2 hours later on via naps. So, yes, might pass out...but we will see! (I also have tomorrow off from work, though I do have to get up and take care of big things like timecards from home.)

Still want to write a post about the last ep, but maybe tomorrow. It might be worth waiting to observe things this ep -- heck, even next ep. But I do think with Dani and also ECO being the main interviewees before this one, tonight's going to be a Big Densi One. Pretty much seems guaranteed.

Re-imagining of Creepypasta AU/Concept idea.

So! So! Thanks for reading- and I’m not as well-versed in creepypasta lore as I once was, but! I’ve got an idea, sure it might’ve already been done but: might as well get the idea out there.

So: a bunch of the og characters (Tobi, Jeff, Clockwork, Jack, Ben etc) and instead of…becoming murders? They get caught and sent to a sanatorium/therapy institute for teens since their not of age of criminal responsibility (I don’t know much about that stuff, sorry) and they’re all less edgy in this version I guess, re-writes of the og backstories, less bat-shit insane I guess?

They all need to spend time with each other (unwillingly) and stuff for therapy and socializing reasons when (probably) Tobi/Jack, starts trauma-dumping about all the weird slender-man shit they saw. And in this au, everyone has ties to slender. And they go on this huge paranormal conspiracy since they all went insane and killed (almost) all their family (I’ll get into that maybe another time) they were basically being semi-possessed by slender after kind encountering him in the woods.

also a bunch of other stuff I’m brainstorming as I write this: The institution they go to is one of the actually good ones instead of the crappy abusive ones. Lou, Jeff’s brother survives but doesn’t become a murderer or targeted by slender man, just has some issues with the whole “my brother tried to murder me in my sleep” but he still really cares about him.

X-virus is in this, him and Tobi meet after the authorities find out that that… well they’re basically the only family each other has anymore. Cody isn’t a murderer, and is actually sane, just has psychopathy and empathy issues to work out. His dad died in a weird lab accident and he got injured during it: and he’s also the science/maths guy of the group, like the idea, got no idea how to execute it.

Jack had a girlfriend relationship thing going on, the girl and him got caught up in a cult. He looks normal at the start of the story, also he has glasses- not really that important but the side effects of the cult stuff they did make his eyes fill up with dried blood and turn black, turn his skin blue takes place after the paranormal investigation stuff. Jeff is a severe insomniac and Somniphobic, this happens after re-accruing slender man encounters, I mean it is fucking CONSTANT, slendy’s been stalking the poor fuck since he’s been a kid. when slender can’t reach him in real life he haunts his dreams. Came up with this from the “Go to sleep” motif.

Sally is also here, she kept getting bullied by kids in other institutions so she got sent here to avoid that. Ya know cus, why would teenagers with issues even target a trauma-ridden 7 year old? Like non of them have p#dophilic issues so it was seen as the best option, also she’s not affected by all the slender man hocus pocus. I want Ben to be in this but I have no idea how to do that- also I’m not sure if I should make the proxies (masky, hoodie) part of the group or ‘traitors’ or something. Or maybe their the doctors??? Since their adults??? I thiiink?

also Jane is only lightly mentioned, she”s like a re-accruing mentioned character no one sees, just a random ex of Jeff. Their backstories kinda clash so sorry about that. Also slender man and zalgo are kinda merged together in this version, mostly slender man but there’s a bit of zalgo mixed in for flavor.

Where did all these ideas come from? No idea! Feel free to tell me what you think trough comments, or reblogs! Not sure if I’d be able to write all of this but if any of you want to: go ahead and chat me up!
