i got carrd disease so i'm going out of my way to update arthur's awoo

there should be a law against how stupid artie is. you cannot exist like that little baby

ough,,, more parallels,,,,,, ronove lost a legacy, arcturus is a denied inheritance, a what could have been

necromancy (eden), blood magic (dainsleif) and soul magic (februus) are all inherently illegal forms of magic in theophage. thinkering more on these specifically.

i passed over a more minxy outfit for artie last night but what if my boygirl got to the point where he wore minxy outfits,,,

mind's made up, yoinking drake out of the ARPG and sitting them down as an antagonistic foil

OUGHE okay soup drake being the antagonistic foil to arthur's role. arthur manages to find community and strength while drake pushes people aside and their strength begins to wither because they do not have what arthur does. their anger pushes them far but it turns into burnout.

arthur blaylock is just some guy, promise. what? the blaylock family from [insert city name]? the nobles that can become dragon people? no, no, the same surname is completely coincidental, trust me

the struggler drake ended up just going with salt croc (after much hemming and hawing) so they are no longer dog-coded. but cock and croc-coded

theophage werewolves may be a bit sauceless for the average fantasy goer and that is not my problem. anyways they probably end up being uncanny because they lack the dog-isms a lot of werewolf characters have. if they laugh its like moro from princess mononoke, too wide and too toothy.

boss is setting a new record for shit to be annoying about

more about theophage transmutation: werewolf, dragon or otherwise, there is probably a lot of dysmorphia that comes about when they're transmuted. you are changing your physiology into something foreign on a level that effects your body, mind and i am debating soul but probably also your soul.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

i need to just sit down and draw man. the burnout's getting to me

DAMN i have to walk back my first thoughts on the prologue arc. conflicts with the new lore. dang 😔

further thinking on dragon transmutation is that. it's kind of like a hopped up adrenaline rush. if you transmute when you're not in a disciplined headspace, you're in for a bad time and further complicates why it's kept out of laypeople's hands.

also what if i said there wasn’t a common language a la dnd. what if i exploded that. would that be too annoying for an rp

ough,,,,,,, guess who wants to ✨rename theophage✨

i do not see the bad financial decision. i do not see, i do not hear

i still think arthur’s wisdom score is in the shits but i do think his insight modifier should be higher. it’s that Anticipation factor. he’s good on picking up vibes, i think

i still remember the guy i used to hang out with who was a total doorknob. /hated/ humans in stories which i could never figure out why. in the end it was just a weird nihilistic power trip.

obviously dragon transmutation led to werewolf transmutation. obviously. i just need to figure out the how. but anyways wolves were much more accessible than dragons so like. wolf.

to lock it down: mr. ulysses blaylock himself is the pioneer in alchemic knowledge and one of the very few people with access to this knowledge. so if you want dragon time you have to be rubbing elbows with this guy — in essence, you are nobility.

this week is conspiring to make sure i dont get rest OTL

i think dragon transformation is also going to require a god’s blessing, specifically salamander’s

also thinking more on ✨dragon transformations✨ in theophage: the rp and thinking. yeah, it’s not just something you can /do/ unless you have the physical materials and ingest it, maybe. something something, alchemy was founded from bits and pieces of godly knowledge and transmutation is part of that

i think in theophage: the rp, ronove's just dead. that guy did some stuff in the past that still has ripples in the current year, but that guy's just dead.

last two days been kinda rancid. but. been making a few sales. so there's one upside. i'll take what i can get

"the music was made by me from scratch. the background image is genAI tho :)" ok so you're still using genAI. man fuck off

OUGH,,,,, februus being a false judge that uses scales to weigh your soul against your coin and an abacus to add or subtract, with it always in his favour

gunner had such a cool backstory. unfortunately it was kind of contrived. but i still think it was a cool backstory.

shapes that only make sense to me. and like three other people

thinks about kacey and gunner :)

boggles my eyes at you. did you know the dust phrase was originally conceived in pmd origins. idk why i’m apparently good at making up quotes (????)

februus treating the (stolen, graverobbed) corpses like pinned butterflies. also debones them to replace the marrow with gold. when the corpses rot to their fullest, all of the “imperfections” are rotted off and the soul is stuck in the gilded bones. sent tweet

i know it is nasty and in no way new or novel. but i love the “insects parasitize the host into a living hive” thing. absolutely horrific, thank you, this is a defense mechanism rastaban employs on trespassers to [redacted town name]

eden, dainsleif and februus, my horrible, horrible trio of incredibly evil bastards. i hope people enjoy them as they get turbo killed

"assisted by ai" no. it's garbage. you could've had something perfectly fine. assisted by ai, okay you did nothing.

“do drake and artie get anything special” no. i like writing them as ordinary so much i went in and gutted their Specialest Person lore. theophage: the rp where they are normal ass guys. arthur’s family tho….. well, those are the Freaks

probably should think about ✨people shaped gods✨ and what that’s all about. idk gods of commerce and travel and arts and various crafts

can PEOPLE become gods… well no. as fun as that would be as a plot device i think that’s just been dropped wholesale. i think higher end of playable limitations is you can turn into a dragon temporarily. and only if you follow this one william page manuscript.

unfortunately the gods of the land are the most interesting things to me in terms of gods in this setting. they’re literally just animals but slightly to the left and with loose nature associations. (storms, earth, water)

whatever plans i had, no i don't. i'm designing a horse today

hrm hrm hrm hrm horse god inky black horse with iridescence, ties to water. kelpie-inspired but not necessarily a kelpie. sits on the same bench as nir and mithras (gods of wolves and bulls, respectively) in that "slightly abnormal animal" feel and strength. god of horses. tell me your name

i am immune to bad financial decisions i do not see, i do not hear

still… on the fence about the wildlife. originally i was going to create a whole ass ecosystem of guys but i think it would be for the best if animals were Normal Earth Animals because then the weirdos would stick out more. persnaps a tiny smattering of Unique Creatures though.

clearly the best use for social media is ignoring my main acc and just blabbing about lore here as it strikes me

something to also consider is that a majority of mankind probably very likely does not live on the surface. several locations are very likely underground, adopting a dwarf-adjacent lifestyle. likely due to dragon and fell beast attacks — but also because of the plausibility of a god of the land.

magic in theophage is almost certainly something that is hoarded and heavily regulated. chances are also high that if you have any magical aptitude, you will be conscripted. congrats on your future in militarism! if not, to an isolated conclave to properly learn your magecraft.
