could i get some quest ideas for the Land of Adventures and Candles for a derse dreamer Sylph of Hope? =0

Sylph of Hope: One who heals with or heals hope.

Sylphs tend to be very loving and helpful, but they can also be relentless in their desire to help, often forcing their aid onto people who either don’t want it or who they can’t help. They have a hard time admitting when they need to stop and take a step back. This would be especially evident with the Sylph of Hope, as they would be an endless optimist to the point of annoyance. As anyone who is a “helper” knows, they often forgo their own health and sanity to help others, believing it’s for the greater good and not realizing they can’t help anyone if they’re indisposed. They would need to learn how to take care of themselves as well as others, how to know when it’s better to not push their help on someone else, and how to focus on the bigger picture of a problem rather than the symptoms. Energetic, loyal, and loving. Can be blind to the truth of the matter.

Derse dreamers tend to be more action-oriented than their Prospit counterparts, though this is not an absolute truth.

Land of Adventures and Candles: A magical darkness has enveloped the land, and this has caused all of the consorts to become hopeless and depressed. It is the Sylph’s job to light candles all around the land to bring light back to the consort’s lives; however, the small candles dotting the landscape will eventually be extinguished, and the real way to bring light back to the land is to first re-light the gigantic candles at the heart of each consort village (guarded by imps and the like), which illuminates a tower at the center of the land, where the denizen lives. Return the light to that tower, and the Land is saved.

Clearing the askbox

There are some seriously old asks in there that I don’t even know if anyone would be interested in hearing me answer anymore. If your ask was in there, sorry I didn’t get to it, but feel free to re-ask.

Is this what you want!? Huh!? You sick fucks!?

My god. Y’all really like Yiffany, huh?

[themanylandsofhomestuck]

Okay...

Even though I hate the concept of Yiffany and what her existence means for Rose’s character, Rose and Kanaya’s relationship, and the utter joke she is...

I still *really* enjoy her design.

Plus I am also down with the four candy kids being like their parents in the way of starting a session together...?

I was going to have the stars vanishing because of a conspiracy, with lights whole discovery thing, but I think them being a map would also help with that! The denizen knew of the great chess war's coming, and trying to protect the grist horde from the black king hid the map to it. Unfortunately this has a side effect of removing a major landmark and stopping crops from growing, so the map has to be rediscovered.

Sounds cool to me!

Saw land evaluation is open, Land of Cherry Blossoms and Stars, a giant pink ball of spring with little blue red and gold balls of plasma floating overhead. The quest is to figure out where those stars are going, as there's a lot less of then than there should be. Is it a good land for an heir of light?

Ha, yeah, I mostly just saw a message in my inbox and answered it. This blog is still pretty dead! But to answer your question, that’s a great land quest! Is the denizen involved in any way with the stars disappearing? Maybe there could be some sort of star-based gambling system among the consorts, working with the themes of luck and predictions with light players, and because the stars are disappearing the consorts’ economy is falling apart. It’s always fun to have mini games and side quests in lands. Or the stars used to flash messages down to the planet below, and now that the stars are missing the messages are fragmented and unintelligible. Once all of the stars are returned, they could flash a message down to the player with some story significance, like the location of the denizen!

I was wondering what you'd recommend to put in the land of a void player? I know that I want one word to be Desolation, but I'm still unsure. Thank you!

It’s hard to answer this without knowledge of the player’s personality or class, but here are some void-related words: Null, abyss, lacuna, hollow, jetsam, invisibility, nothingness, shadow, irrelevance, obfuscation, horizon, spirals

Why is thinking of quests so hard

Because writing is difficult and writing to accommodate a specific character’s development is even more difficult? If you want some advice, think about what your character wants and what your character needs. As in, what they want, their conscious goals, and what they need, what flaw they need to fix in themselves. If you have problems with thinking of creative, unique quests, it might be easier to think up the premise of the land first. What problem has the denizen caused? How can the player fix it?

Ah. I have realized the perfect time to post that pesterquest lyricstuck I’ve been working on would be tomorrow... but I’m nowhere near done.

[themanylandsofhomestuck]

Kind of feels like the only reason I’m reading Homestuck^2 is because I want to see things get better. But when the narrative actively fights against any hope of that, it’s just... tiring. And not fun or ironic or whatever to read.

re: the lyricstuck.... is it "and the day goes on" by bill wurtz??

Yes! Good job! I love Bill Wurtz and this song seemed to fit really well with MSPAR in my opinion.

[themanylandsofhomestuck]

Figured I should post an update of the lyricstuck so y’all know I’m still working on it. Can anyone guess the song yet?
