if you don’t mind me asking, complementing your lord post what are characters you’ve identified as Muses in fiction?

The childlike Empress (The neverending story), likely the direct prototype Callie is based on just as Bastian is the prototype for Caliborn’s Lord, forgot to mention him last time.

Also forgot to mention Pokey Minch (from earthbound/mother 3), who I see as a Lord of Life and also a direct influence on caliborn

Anthy Himemiya from Utena, Muse of Hope (or maybe Heart? I go back and forth) roleplaying a Witch of Rage (or maybe Mind)

The shadow girls from Utena collectively play the part of muse of void, too.

Madoka Kaname (Madoka magica), Muse of hope

Junko enoshima (dangan ronpa), Muse of rage and/or Doom

Momoka Oginome (mawaru penguindrum), muse of heart roleplaying Witch of Heart (she’s Very good at what she does, ok)

The holy ghost and the muses from Greek myth seem like the clearest mythological links, too.

Lil Cal and Doc Scratch arguably evoke LE’s roleplay of the Muse role in some ways, just as Callie’s direct destruction of the green sun evokes her roleplaying Lord

That’s all I got in my head right now

New videos’ officially up! Recap of Kate and my conversation on the PGP about the news being dropped about the Homestuck “sequel”. TL;DR is :
Homestuck isn’t done, we got a big storm coming, etc etc. Hope y’all enjoy!

Im planning on writing a post about lords and how they “stack the deck” so to speak, and obviously i gotta talk about lord english with the alpha timeline, but do you know of any other characters that would be lords, preferably of other aspects? Marvus doesnt work because he hasnt really stacked the deck. I havent watched utena, but from what i read akio seems like a lord of heart and i wanted to talk about that as well, i think im gonna watch it to make sure.

Characters I’ve identified as Lords in fiction:

Lord of Rage: Akio (heart might also work I switch every so often)

Lord of Hope: Joshua (TWEWY)

Lord of Light: Gwyn (dark souls), main character girl who’s name I don’t remember (from Qualia the Purple or Purple Qualia or w.e that manga was called) Gwyn fits your argument better than that girl in this case tho

Drosselmeyer from princess tutu is probably a Lord but I’d have to rewatch to know of what.

Lord of ???: God. As in Lord God, from the Bible.

Lord of Weed: Snoop dogg

Hope this helps

Hey guys! It’s the Steam Game awards, and I saw this category

and immediately thought of the amount of detail and storytelling in every

single

background

in the entirety of hiveswap. I mean, these were a few I had grabbed before for something else, I didn’t go look specifically for good examples (though literally every screen would count.

Homestuck has always been great at using the environment and what’s around a person’s room/house/etc to tell about them, and Hiveswap took it to the next level, not only making lush and detailed environments that are gorgeous and very evocative of the time period that things take place in (at least in the human end), but also making almost every single part of it interactable with everything, giving you tons of unique dialogue that further fleshes out those characters if you delve.

I know it may be too small to stand a chance, but it sure as fuck deserves a win much more than any game I can think of… especially as most are vast, empty expanses of repeated elements, an afterthought that exists because the characters that need a place to stand, not full of character all their own.
So, um, if you see this, please signal boost and vote for Hiveswap, because it’s definitely deserving.
