I don't even know if this is the right place to put this but I gotta move all my cats out of the Arx Peeve thread before people get mad at me. SO.

I hope it's okay to put stuff in here. Admins, lemme know if or what I can do if not.

Petraea-cat. So pretty.

Also... holy bananas, guys, have I said how cool you all are?

I may tick up the prices of these eventually or my husband might lose his mind, especially since I can't. Stop. Coloring. Them.

But that's for later panic. Also I'm sure there will be more things to post.

Bonus mermaid!

Okay so something I've really started to appreciate playing a game as long as I have, Arx is the first game I've been in for legit -years-, and so much has happened now that when she has scenes or conversations with people, and they ask about why this or why that, Joscelin has a rich, in-depth history of actual experience to draw from, things that have -happened to her- that are the reasons for why she does this thing or that thing or believes this thing or that thing, and it's really, really, really fucking cool. In the beginning, I had to fabricate her reasons for being the way she was, but now, I don't have to hardly spin up anything, I can actually point to events, public and private, relationships, public and private, and go over those moments in her timeline, in my memory, and it's just fantastic. Fantastic.

I'm certain this isn't a new thing for a lot of people, but it's a new experience for me and I truly do love it.

@Sparks @Apos @Herja

Satisfying endings and wonderful farewells. Thank you, guys.

AND THANK YOU ARX, FOR ALL THE STORIES.

ETA: And @Tehom For making it all sooooo pretty and expanding the buffers to fit in all the crazy ASCII art.

You might need to check out the cat drawings for the gods to identify them all. This one was harder than I expected.

When you run a brutal scene and everyone seems so appreciative and then afterwards you see their IC reactions and responses to stuff and they're BROKEN and WOUNDED and you feel ELATED and DELIGHTED about it-

-IS THIS NORMAL?

because it's great!

and then

@silverfox

Norwood.

Recently? It would have to be RPing an angry indignant book that latched on to a Poor Helpless Person's face, flapping my pages aggressively and harmlessly against his cheeks, while his subordinates stood about, trying to be supportive.

That was fun.

Alternatively: Any scene where @Grayson has to ask me if we should engage the Rule of Funny.

It was a really awesome event, I'm sad I had to leave early!

Clockwise from top left, Magerie, Norwood, Eddard, Adalyn, Elani (baby), twins Mirian and Valerik, Vitalis.

Bree and some zombie friends. If you were there, you know. If you weren't? Well. It was glorious.

@alamias noooooooo

omg double post.

@saturna they are HELPING.

Okay but this one.

Deathspeakers. DEATHSPEAKERS BEING HELPFUL. Really helpful.

Volcica asking 'is this YOU?'
Felicia asking 'can I look at your sword?'
Cufre going 'let me look at you-'
Tanith being a studious observer.
