Do You Ever Consume A Piece Of Media And Are Like. This Is It. My Art Needs To Get Weirder.

Do you ever consume a piece of media and are like. This is it. My art needs to get Weirder.

This is the one where I start messing up the rules of Fate (or not getting them wrong, exactly, but certainly not making best use of the tools in the toolkit), please don't @ me about it

A body in the back room. A mysterious figure fleeing the scene. What’s a newbie PI to do but give chase?

Reblog if you didn’t write My Immortal

We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.

Another great jam by Alex, who's been doing our theme music since we soft-relaunched with Vigil! He's also an actor and voice artist, and doesn't promote himself enough - podcast people cast him in your productions pls

Falling Cadence

A softboiled noir story in 3 acts, told using the Fate roleplaying game

🎼 Alexander Pankhurst

The question with The Wizard, The Witch and the Wild One was always going to be "which worldbuilding detail will I find to fixate on", not "will I find something to fixate on", and the results are in:

it's the naming conventions

In Suvi's corner of the story so far we've had Soft, Stone, Steel, Archmage Silence, and Silver ... and Suvirin.

It's a clear convention but has not yet been lampshaded by any of the cast, which is of course delicious.

Is it an Empire convention, a Citadel one, a wizardly one? I'm guessing Citadel/wizard, since people like Roselyn and Grandmother Wren are presumably Empire citizens but don't follow the convention.

But is it something adopted later in life? Because Suvi follows the initial S but otherwise breaks the convention of the name being a dictionary word. Will she be expected to pick – or be bestowed with – a dictionary S-word when she's no longer an apprentice, is that it?

And if so ... what will it be? Sand? (sort of combines Soft + Stone)

OR did Soft and Stone break convention when they named their daughter?
