I legit have another Acid Soup OC loosely based on a Maretu song that I need to draw up soon. I almost forgot until I saw this.

>>101063
WHICH SONG

>>101064

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0gRV5J0rpA

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. She's a blackmailing birb who spies on people's phones and sells their secrets while keeping her own locked up tight. The song itself is closer to the latter part of her personality, trying to hide her own secrets from everyone else.

tomorrow is the one year anniversary of acid soup's launch.

i don't have a whole lot to say that wasn't already said in a sappy post a few months ago ( >>99075 ) but i do feel like Some words are in order

idk. this entire month sucks. august has sucked for me for almost six years now and sometimes it feels like it's going to suck forever. last night i cried my entire walk home from work, in front of all the college kids and businessmen and rich yuppies walking around in the old north, because the cicadas were loud and so was my shitty brain and sometimes one thing is all it takes to send me to hell and make me a scared seventeen-year-old again

but unlike the past few augusts, i talked about how i was feeling (holy shit, what a novel concept) and my friends all sent me messages saying they loved me and that they were proud of me and when i got home my roommate showed me that the fridge was full and i bawled my eyes out all over their shirt and by the end of the night i felt better and honestly, i didn't think about drowning myself even once

i guess what im saying is: acid soup is about ptsd and about the ways that sometimes it can feel like recovery sucks harder than the things that happened to you in the first place. but at the end of the day, fighting through works. telling stories is working. thanks for helping me do that. thanks for being patient when i drop off the face of the earth. thanks for liking lowry, because it sort of makes me feel like less of a shithead.

see you guys when i get time to update again - i hope it's soon

>>102865
Have you tried EMDR?

Thank y o u for an awesome quest. Go you. :)

okay so everyone's been wondering when i was gonna end up doing a jojo quest, because i'm obsessed. surprised! you've been duped and i just started it

for the past few months, the way i've been unwinding in my free time is via a casual jjba twitter roleplay with a handful of other people. i've always had a bad habit of getting really attached to minor antagonists, and i ended up writing for melone, a character from jjba part 5 who appears for literally 2 chapters and whose personality can be summed up as "gleefully evil, weirdly sexualized, extremely inconsistent re:self-preservation"

then because i am incapable of living well, i got really invested in a CRACKSHIP between melone and ANOTHER minor antagonist, massimo volpe from the part 5 light novel purple haze feedback that nobody fucking knows about, who is so obscure that there is only ONE canon image of him in existence, and whose personality can be summed up as "debilitatingly depressed, loves heroin, surprising whip temper"

and the thing about writing characters who have very little actual canon development every day for MONTHS is that they end up belonging to you by the end of it more than they ever belonged to the original canon, because very quickly there's more shit that YOU made up than was ever available to go off of in the first place. so melone and massimo ended up feeling like OCs, and then finally i said fuck it, i'm gonna make them OCs, and now they're fio and lucca. (credit where credit is due, ofc, bc i wasn't the one writing massimo in the rp: that was my close friend tjesje, and i write the character lucca now with his blessing, and he wouldn't be the same character without him.)

so placebo, as it turns out, is weird, hyper-obscure jojo's bizarre adventure AU fanfiction focused on nearly insignificant villains that nobody cares about and i'm totally fuckin stoked about it. you're welcome

So eyepatch is Melone, right? Does he have an approximation of that creepy baby laptop stand or something else this time around?

wheres the quest I don't see it its not obvious its FRACTAL brand if it is AHHHHH I just got obsessed about Jojo last summer
AHHHHH
AHHHHH
My standsona is Joker and it nullfies stands and stand users into normal dudes in its proximity because I'm a lameboi and of course its gotta be OP and boring and lame and predictable (but face it if there's ever a Joker stand that's gonna be it's ability or its gonna be some card thing like changes all cards into deadly weapons or turns people into cards or traps their souls in cards, you know the deal)
What's YOUR stand

I found it!
I blame me being at the wrong place and wrong time and thinking it started today
>>/quest/794947
huzzah

>>111470
eyepatch is melone!! for placebo i'm really toning down the stand abilities - all that remains of baby face for fio is the ability to look at people and get a list of their pseudoscience personality test stuff (blood type, zodiac, etc) and gauge compatibility. no homunculus murder baby.

>>111474
oh dude the whole POINT of jjba is for everything to be totally OP and shameless. i don't really have a set stand, though! every time i try to think of one for myself, it doesn't really seem right, or i change my mind. i think at the end of the day i'd just have one like star platinum - A Big Boy Who Punches

warmup sketch for today - cranky gals in oversized olive drab trenchcoats

>>114337
Must've been a sale at the Trenchcoat Warehouse(TM).

Important question, are Lucien's ears fluffy and if so how fluffy are they?

>>114363
depends. if he's feeling relaxed and grounded, they're incredibly fluffy. the more stressed out he is, the more incorporeal/smoky they get, and he's usually at a round base of 50% stress capacity at any given time.

I just realised all the parlour tricks (except Eulogy and the TIOS) had a 'Condition' tag, what's the deal there?

Also oh no! jJasper was coool!

>UNHAND me! Unhand me, you barbarian!" The prophet's tiny hands are doing exactly nothing as they beat against Lucien's broad chest.

I confess, I saw this in Pokapokavision:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGwQxKixlQo

>>114378
it just happened to work out that they all have conditions!! it's not really related to them being on the same crew, it's just a coincidence.

>>114383
i had never seen this before so i have to thank you for bringing it into my life

ALSO OOPS i forgot to say: yes, jasper was cool and i had been hoping to use her more - i actually wasn't expecting suggesters to be as cautious as they were, given that a lot of times quest tends to be diplomatic/amenable to recruitment, but once the majority had tended solidly towards leaving them i realized i had a pretty convenient opportunity to 1. show that i will pick npcs off at the drop of a hat, 2. provide the information that dating routes are a thing, and that they can be lost, and 3. show how thoroughly the parlor tricks outstrip the cat and crow ability-wise, all in one fell swoop. sorry, jasper!! you became a device of exposition UnU

>>114386
On the plus side, valiantly defending the Unnamed Prophet against an overwhelming assault by piratical scumbags seems like the main way Jasper would've preferred to go out, compared to other plausible options like dehydration, or cannibalism, or being captured, stripped of armor and subject to various other indignities, or ransomed back and executed for treason.

My partner sent me this and I'm imagining it as Snap and Gretchen having a moment with one of Rabies gang members.

Fuck it, gonna ask some fun sex system questions because they're fun.

Can platonic boning be achieved under any relationship score, depending on the openness of the individual, or is our main squad only fine with romantic boning? Does the act of boning have statistical benefits like relationship tiers or conditions?

If romance is going to be in depth system in this quest, do we also have to worry about STDs and pregnancy?

If so, will we have to have to like order Cleveland to apply condom to Lucien manually, or will it be accepted by default safe sex will occur? Whether automatic or not, will we have to inventory condoms and ensure they're there anytime we want characters to bone safely (or whatever safe sex method may be available)?

If the sex system is as deep as it can possibley go, will we have to roll Constitution checks as Varlet to pull out for example?

>>114404
None of this is fun.

>>114406
I'll be frank I just wanted to make jokes about Lucien putting on a condom and whether or not Varlet needs to make a Constitution check to pull out at the last minute.

Honestly surprised I didn't make a joke about Cleveland taking the knot.

I love relationship systems though. Wish I had more video games with them. Looking forward to however this turns out and what the hell that prophet is going to do about that vendetta they have.

>>114409
Fair enough. Obtuse bookkeeping and overtly safe sex just really grinds my gears.

Platonic boning is a legit point. though

>>114404
i am never gonna make you guys worry about stuff like pregnancy/stds. i get that level of immersion is fun for a lot of people (we've all been on skyrim nexusmods) but to me it would just feel tedious. also, even tho you're joking, i will take this opportunity to also say that the stats/classes are not an indication that i'm going to be playing a crunchy numbers game behind the scenes, it's all just for flavor.

the availability of casual sex will depend on the characters involved, as will whether or not you gain any diplomacy advancement from it. varlet will fuck anything that moves (or more accurately, anything that stands still long enough), cleveland is open to the concept of casual sex but is too standoffish to seek it out herself without prodding, and TIOS can't fuck anyone unless you guys get it ported into an android (but even in that case it doesn't know enough about sex to even know what its own preferences are yet.) and of course other characters each have their own attitudes. some of them might get really attached after having sex, even if that attachment isn't romantic - for others, it won't change how they feel about the PC at all. sex itself won't offer any undue benefits, though.

the reason i'm being really distinct about romance and sex not offering huge benefits outside of actual relationship progression is bc i don't want w/w to reward a "date/fuck everything in sight" approach - not that that's a bad quest premise, obviously, bc a lot of the most fun and successful quests on the board are built on that premise! but in this quest what i want to reward instead is carefully made decisions about who to get close to and what to prioritize, and i want to reward questers finding successful ways to actually make characters connect meaningfully (as well as highlighting that you can't make everyone happy, and you can't be close to absolutely everyone)

also, for what it's worth, it's going to be very hard to get lucien into bed. he's very self-conscious about his wolf dick

I want to do what it takes so that Cleveland will kiss Eulogy. Platonic, romantic, whatever. I leave that up to foppery and whim.

Because then whenever things go sideways, Varlet can pull out
the "Like kissing your sister" idiom, and cause a meltdown.

I'm playing the long game, here.

>>114733
Poor Gretchen.

>>114733
TIOS' coordinates cofunse and interest me.
Gonna maintain my shipping lanes, though.

hi i'm back i brought uhhhhh pinterest boards https://pin.it/qwyaxqzayg7fai posting this means you guys will also see all the anime boy boards that i have poured hours and hours of my life into but i've made peace with that

ACID SOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

>>124709
on twitter unfortunately

lmao nah the real answer is working a lot and getting my shit together. which is what i've ALWAYS been doing every time i pop back up here but this time my shit is like...... really really soundly together. like just moved into a big apartment with the girl i'm gonna marry together. like i have a DESK now instead of a tv tray and a couch as a workspace together. like i eat at least two meals a day, every day together. like the whole year i was gone i haven't seriously thought about offing myself even once together

so what this means is acid soup is gonna run until it finishes, no more hiatuses, unless i get hit by a truck (knock on wood) or get a tattoo apprenticeship (cross your fingers, except then i'd still be doing it just slower)

that's true!
