Reading La Cour Des Miracels And God... I Should Love This Book.

thinking about how erke (and later stowe as well) calls eivor "broga" (literally just "terror" in old norse) as an affectionate nickname and losing it actually

Angel MC brainrot!

In this little headcanon (and maybe some actual stories) series that I would like to bring on Our lovely MC (which will be male in most of the stories, but if you would like to read headcanons with a female/gender neutral MC I will do it with pleasure!) has Angel-like wings and healing powers, but wasn’t assigned to any dorm.

So, to not let him alone in the streets (noticing how nervous and scared the boy was), Crowley made him Ramshackle’s prefect

I imagined him to look like this but I would also like to hear what you have imagined him like!

He has to hide his wings constantly, wrapping them around his waist and making them invisible. However if he happens to have an emotional overwhelming moment the spell might quit, so he must be careful with it!

Avalon arts academy: an all girls school

Since I entered the twisted wonderland fandom I had only one thing in mind: what would an all girls wizardy school look like?

So my mind came up with The Avalon arts academy, for the world to know!

The Avalon arts college is an-girls school, very singular in its own way: in fact, the school isn’t just a college or high school. In order to teach the girl how to take care of children (back in the days when the school first came up), the academy goes from elementary school to college.

the years are in fact like this:

-5 years of elementary school ( from 5 to 10yo)

-5 years of ‘gymnasium’ (10 to 15yo)

- 3 years of high school (15 to 18yo)

-facoltative college

at the start of high school years, the students are given a choice between to paths: the ‘classical’ path or the ‘avanguard’ path.

if a students choses the classical path her subject will be more theory-aligned and focusing on defensive and healing spells and potions. They will also continue the  singing, ballet and etiquette lessons. (Riddle’s mother studied here with the classical path)

if a students choses the Avanguard path, they will focus on more pratical subjects and offensive spells. They abandon the singing and ballet lessons for fencing and boxe, Etiquette becomes ‘chivarlic code’. Some still do ballet and singing as extra curricular activities

The girls grow together in what they call ‘sisterhoods’, formed by:

- a first-year elementary student

-a gymnasium student

-an high school student

-a college student

This sisterhood remains until the elementary girl reaches college. Until then the students all keep contact between each other.

The dormitories are

Bluestone, based off the fierce of the Princess of Atlantica

Jazzlake, based on the indipedence of the frog princess

LotusResiliance, based off the efforts of the warrior princess

Towerfall, based off the goodhearted imprisoned princess

Hellsun, based off the slyness of the gitana

Musehyde, based off the intelligence of the betrayed muse

Dunbroch, based off the bravery of the spirits princess

Uniform

the basic uniform is a puffed shirt with either a corset or a waistcoat of variable color, depending on the dormitory, either a black skirt or black trousers. Bluestone’s color is blue (wow), jazzlake’s green, lotusresiliance’s Red, Towerfall’s yellow, Hellsun’s perl black, Musehyde’s lavander and Dunbroch’s azurre(?)

if you fuckers do the skeleton war shit again this year we’re deleting the website for real

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)

Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion

Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent

And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 

And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall

Something about myself

Hi, I’m a Storyteller lost in the pages of time from Italy :D

I write mostly about mithology but also things like Identity V,Saint Seiya, Genshin impact and all Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù’s novels are in my interest range, I love Mo dao zu shi the most though lol.

Tell me something about yourself maybe :D

Im finally reading the court of miracles, I’ve finished the court of shadows 2 years ago and I just have a thought in mind.

I want to have Rafael and Suraj angst so bad

Like, I’m still at the beginning of the book, but I want to see them finally sorting things out, I want to see Rafael having his moment of glory

I want that I need that

I want to see Jeanne and raf being besties AAAAAA

Also totally unrelated but I’m learning French because le cour des ouragans hasn’t been translated In English 🥲

Where are my fellow Gothic Fiction fans? Surely some of you ended up in here somewhere. Come out I need you.

I want to draw them more, please feel free to suggest scenarios. I feel like they need to interact. Let the fanfiction begin!

I even made a reference sheet for them and everything. I just need to practise some more. Let’s just pretend they’re my OCs.

Edit: there are now more doodles. Find them under the #Sariel's Victorian disaster men tag

I've always drifted towards clever characters, but my childhood self was fascinated with how Sandokan from the titular novel overcame every challenge with a mix of inhuman physical strength, iron-like willpower, and raw magnetism. The scene where someone attempts to flog him and he responds by lifting them up effortlessly and stating that he has in his veins royal blood and will not tolerate being insulted rewrote my brain chemistry.

I KNOW HOW MY FILTHY MUTANT ABILITIES UPSET YOU, SCHMIDT. DON’T WORRY–

–YOU WILL DIE PURE. NO MAGNETISM 

JUST FISTS.
