You should smile. I like to see you smile. I never smiled that much. I just realized you don’t know yourself that well. You’ve always been a gentle guy who likes to smile. You’ve been like this since you were little. You always liked to smile and you were gentle. Even so, how can I smile now? I’m not a crazy man. I haven’t smiled in a long time. It’s nice to smile like this.
the horror of being zia rashid and watching a copy of yourself, made by your father, do things you'd never do. iskandar is the most powerful magician alive. making a shabti of a person might've been hard, even for him, but still, you have to wonder: did he make the other version of you more docile, more agreeable, more loveable? was that piece of clay into which he breathed life the version of you he wished he had instead?
PLEASE YAP ABT YOUR TSOT AU OR WTV. THE DESIGNS ARE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OMGS
For one, thank you for the ask! And I am happy you like the designs! They mean a lot to me and Kyle has a bunch for this depending on how far along we are in the story.
And yes, gladly! Though I won't spoil the actual lore of it too much since... You'll just have to wait for me to post it in comics and such heh. I'm calling it "The Truth Of Fate" for now because fate and destiny and breaking something predestined is a huge theme of this AU. I may change this title but uh... We will see. It's also because it's based on The Stick of Truth so I wanna stick with the truth theming
The main premise is that Kyle can't lose Stan. He's everything Kyle has left.
He lost his family in an assassination attempt that also resulted in him being injured and the humans stealing the stick. By stealing the stick the annoying grand human wizard appointed the rule that all elven healing magic and spells will become useless, effectively killing dozens, especially on the battlefield.
This was before Stan became his protector, the attack being the reason he was appointed the position. Him and Kyle had been friends before. Kyle became king overnight and handling the tasks of a kingdom, and dealing with the grief of losing his family and surviving, were tasks that were hard to deal with but Stan helped him make it easier.
So when Stan goes to protect him on the battlefield and they get overwhelmed the worst happens. Stan dies protecting him because his healing magic hasn't worked in years and fails him again. So... To what ends does Kyle go to bring Stan back long term? What is Kyle willing to give, to sacrifice, to fight Stan's fate? Will he give up his own?
That's all I will say for now. The rest will be revealed bit by bit or by bribing me with questions here. I will gladly answer more specific questions since I feel broadly talking about it will spoil it too much.
The Tale Of Food, a mobile game about food that turned into pretty guys and girls, has closed down on the 20th March, 2025.
I wanted to archive as much as I could, so I recorded the game and currently editing it into videos and posting them. The link to video 1 which contains the main gameplay elements is here:
Im not the best at editing yet, and I was recording it on a time limit, so please excuse me that the videos wont be perfect.
I loved the game and Im sad I wont get to meet my favourite characters again, but this way Ill be able to look back at them and keep them in my memory at least.
Second video will be uploaded in a few hours, mainly focusing on Swallow bun, Tusu Elixir, Gossamer Omasum and other characters voice lines.
Later, Ill post more videos with how the Gacha looked like.
