My Cat Has To Wear A Cone This Week And It Made Me Think Of An Angel Whose Halo Is A Cone.

Now we all know what happens if you get the Book of Peace. You return it to Syracuse and save Proteus. But if you don’t get the Book, you have a choice to make. Either sail to paradise with the woman of your dreams, or return to Syracuse to die. You’re either a thief or a hero. So here’s my question: If you don’t get the Book, will you go back to die?

SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS (2003)

Trying my hand at some Chain OCs (loosely based on a couple of characters a friend and I made years ago)

The Twins (Mercy and Truth)

Tieflings 

No consensus who is Twin 1 and who is Twin 2

Met the Chain of Acheron in Alloy towards the end of the Company’s time there; it’s unclear how long they had lived in the Burning City, and some things indicate they’ve also spent some time in Hell

Tend to wear loose fitting, light linen clothing indicative of Alloy (unless Matt Colville specifies otherwise)

Heavy accents (Infernal and Primordial)

Will talk about their past, but it usually sounds absurd and the story is often left unfinished as one of the twins will either trail off or be interrupted by the other (but as crazy as it always seems, they haven’t contradicted themselves yet)

Like to tease each other and bicker a lot, but are extremely protective of one another

Trust Issues (but the Chain is growing on them)

Don’t like to stay in the same place for too long, and are generally excited to travel to new places and see strange things

Don’t actually like taking orders and will be petty about it

Afraid of heights

Such stupid kids tbh

Mercy

Phoenix Soul Sorcerer

Chaotic Neutral (Evil leaning)

5’, she/her, unnatrual white skin, silver hair, black horns that start at her temples and sweep back along the sides of her head, magenta eyes with black sclera, tail that tapers flat like a thresher shark

Eyes occasionally glow, the center of her irises turning white, fading to yellow, orange, and finally back to magenta (as per her subclass flavor)

Burn scars

Nicknamed by her brother sarcastically and now she’s stuck with it; “You may call me Mercy, but don’t expect me to have any.”

A little sadistic, but can be kept in check (give her a reason to and she will set you on fire though)

Sites her brother as her moral compass

Honest (unless she’s covering for her brother)

Reckless

Smarter than her brother (by like 1 but likes to remind him of it)

Cheeky and likes to get the last word (occasionally by any means necessary); particularly sharp tongued when on the defensive

A good bet if your goal is destruction

Would call Big Cat a pretty kitty

Truth

Inquisitive Rogue

Chaotic Neutral

6’1”, extremely dark grey skin, black hair, bone white horns that start at his temples and arch up and curve over the top of his head, magenta eyes with black sclera, tail that tapers flat like a thresher shark

Missing a chunk of one of his horns

Nicknamed by his sister sarcastically and now he’s stuck with it; “You may call me Truth, just don’t expect me to share it with you.”

Compulsive liar, but doesn’t lie to his sister (not as of yet anyways)

Huge flirt (his sister sometimes plays his wingman)

Sneaky son of a bitch

Somewhat cautious

Older than his sister (by only a few minutes but likes to reminder her of it)

Definitely knows Mercy’s True Name

Has a misshapen pearl earring he got when he beat Mercy at chess (or Orden equivalent) as she was using it as her queen; he claims it reminds him of her

Some songs that give me vibes for these characters:

Hey Brother - Avicii Alone Together - Fall Out Boy Heathens - Twenty One Pilots Red Hot Lights - Moon Taxi all the good girls go to hell - Billie Eilish Horns - Bryce Fox The Patron Siant of Liars and Fakes - Fall Out Boy

Chain of Acheron, Helltrooper Match.

I know I’ve been going on about the Chain tag recently (but seriously if you don’t want to see it why are you even following me) but here’s another thing I really think makes the Helltroopers that have been made seem like they fit really well. Even the pure spellcasters we’ve made feel like they would be right at home as just another body for a shield wall; it seems like it is obvious to everyone so far that the magical talent of the common Helltroopers is still situational or limited, and all of them are soldiers first.  Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s just really cool to me how it feels as though every single Helltrooper this community has developed is a soldier to some degree, like the Chain has magicians, sure, but they don’t have battle mages, they have soldiers with magical talent.

Spotify

Chain of Acheron, Helltrooper Beebee, a playlist by zanezanebuns on Spotify

A playlist featuring Damon Albarn, Daniel Pemberton, Flogging Molly, and others

Playlist for Helltrooper Beebee

Parakeet - Damon Albarn

Back when life was slow, before his name was Beebee, all this kid wanted to do was sit up in his tree and read. Maybe pelt a few wanks with his slingshot, take em on a good chase. It was quiet. He’d look out over the rooftops of his town and sing a little tune. He still does all that from time to time. Just keeps a better eye out for house fires.

Seasoned Oak - Daniel Pemberton

Sprinting through the woods surrounding town. Learning how to dodge trees, climbing anything and everything, falling on his ass and getting back up. Firing a bow so many times his fingers would bleed, not stopping till he hit his target enough times to be satisfied. The only thing he can’t outrun is that damned cat…

The Wrong Company - Flogging Molly

After joining up with the Chain, there were a lot of watering holes to get kicked out of. This is Beebee’s go to song - once he’s drunk enough at least.

Romanian Wind - Hans Zimmer

He may not look it - he’s tall and fairly broad shouldered, and he never takes off that coat - but Beebee has the moves on the rare occasions that he dances. It takes plenty of drink to get him singing, but you can tell he’s gone once he stands up to dance. Especially because he’ll let Elbee gracefully balance on his shoulders the whole time.

Swagger - Flogging Molly

Sloshed beyond belief, potentially lost, and having a damn good time. The goal every night he drinks. And the night he doesn’t drink is the night he’s dead.

Fix My Life - Melt Yourself Down

Like the sun is sure to rise, Beebee is sure to piss of the wrong person. Probably had it comin to em. Thing is, there’s a point when you’re squaring off against a meathead twice your size and half a dozen of his friends that you think to yourself “fuck” and book it. The cat can catch up. What else is new?

Assassins Breath - Daniel Pemberton

Sheer focus. Aiming an arrow, hearing that thud and seeing the target fall down - onto the next one. It never really stops, but does he even want it to?

Tried not to have doubles of artists on here but fuck it. Also, I couldn’t find a song that was exclusively about protecting Geddit, but that’s only because it hasn’t been written yet.

Happy Pride Month!

I made a bunch of The Chain Pride symbols to celebrate!

Lesbians still making posts about how bad it is for bi women to use butch/femme:  We know! We heard u! We’re trying to make our own terms and have them used widespread but we need to get the WORD out for them to be commonplace and that’s hard when literally nobody but bis reblog posts talking about bisexuals lol! It’s not like we all follow each other. At this point the only people trying to take ur terms from you are lesphobes or young bi girls who straight up don’t realize they aren’t generic wlw terms because they haven’t learned the history bc literally no one is out here trying to include and teach bisexual kids shit about their gay lineage, everyone’s too busy trying to push it under the rug. 

bi equivalent of femme: doe bi equivalent of butch: stag

There are more for nb bis and such you can look into but there’s the basics! Look I’ve even designed flags you can find if you scroll through this tag! (i didnt come up with the terms)  

I laughed way too hard at this

the Spartan desire to be simultaneously proud of your identity while also wanting the luxury of being invisible in public space, not because you are ashamed but because you are othered, is analogous to the struggle for queer visibility. in this essay I will
