[frail knot]

The stphone*

[untold oracle]

Ohhhh so like a communication thing with yharim?

[split mortar]

yuh

[snow mountain]

exposition device

[untold oracle]

eris already had it

[snow mountain]

he loredumps

[random mulch]

a new mechanic to replace whispers so you dont have them clogging your inventory and storage anymore

[snow mountain]

its kinda inorganic

so were whispers

[random mulch]

it's a rock

[pliant ruin]

i mean yeah rocks r pretty inorganic

[snow mountain]

yk what i mean

[frail knot]

stones don’t tend to be organic

[split mortar]

rocks and being organic is not the case most of the time

[snow mountain]

yharim's stone carving ability is as bad as xeroc

[young socket]

they are natural tho

[frail knot]

four people make the same joke

[snow mountain]

laugh at him

[gritty kraken]

eat bloodstone

[pliant ruin]

if yharim had whatsapp 😂 😂
providence: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
silva: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
yharon: hey dude i got some icecream do you want any
calamitas: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
amidias: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
draedon: Last seen online 5 years ago
statis: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF

[supple wedge]

My pet rock says something else

[split mortar]

is that joke allowed

[frail knot]

storm weaver should stop whatever it’s doing and devour the nearest wyvern if one spawns in while you’re fighting him

[snow mountain]

yees

[pliant ruin]

i think it is yes

its specifically telling others to do it and saying you'll do it that isn't which like yeah fair

[split mortar]

@garbo is it

ah ok

[mighty zenith]

wrong, braelor wouldnt have connection

[pliant ruin]

its ok i fixed

[untold oracle]

I think it is because it’s a thing often in the meme and its yharim he can die

[snow mountain]

yharim's auric rejection

[mighty zenith]

it's fine until its used to harrass or make fun of other people/yourself yes

[supple wedge]

What’s Auric Rejection again?

[split mortar]

touch auric ore and you get pushed and hurt

[young socket]

its the thing that happens when u touch auric ore

[supple wedge]

Aaah

Pogo shit

[split mortar]

you basically explode

and yharims armour has that

[supple wedge]

So it can explode any minute or what?

[split mortar]

on touvh

touch

[snow mountain]

think of it as touching a really electrified surface

[supple wedge]

So if someone touches Yharim he’s dead

[snow mountain]

no

he's immune

hence why

[split mortar]

yharims fine the other person isnt

[supple wedge]

But if our armor doesn’t have that does it cancel each other out? Or am I misunderstanding stuff?

[mighty zenith]

he's immune as long as he's attunes to yharon

our armor doesnt have it because we neutralize auric using soul fragments

we're not attuned to an auric soul

[split mortar]

our auric armour does stop rejection iirc, but thats one of 3 armours that will be on tier for yharim

[mighty zenith]

we just use little pieces of one to make auric think everything that touches it is attuned

and therefore its unable to reject anything

but thats only for the auric bars we make ourselves rather than all auric

[supple wedge]

Imo there should be actual Auric Tesla Weapons, but just weapons that use the bars as a crafting item

Like Ark

And Zenith

[split mortar]

the minigun auric weapon uses auric bullets as its alt fire iirc

[mighty zenith]

tbf those weapons are more unique than just "auric sword" cause thatd be boring

[supple wedge]

I mean

[dusk laurel]

we already have auric weapons tho

[supple wedge]

Auric Tesla Sword with insane knockback as a joke item would be pretty funny tho

[gritty kraken]

Auric throwing bricks

[split mortar]

seraphim looks very auric blade

aetherflux is a dedicated item im calling it

[pliant ruin]

its funny because tyranny's end is

a dedicated item

[split mortar]

it completely fits in

[mighty zenith]

tyranny's end, oracle, seraphim, sun beacon all look very auric

[young socket]

the imposter

[mighty zenith]

so yea

[pliant ruin]

but it fits so perfectly with the auric gear aesthethic and fills a role that would be filled in by smth else even if it didn't exist

[pulsar ocean]

you think braelor would drink some cosmilite if he found any

[young socket]

dynamic pursuer too

[split mortar]

and name fits kinda

[pliant ruin]

oracle, kingsbane, tyrannys end, midnight sun, dynamic pursuer and seraphim all fit very well with the auric aesthethic imo, albeit kingsbane is the biggest outlier

then there's

aetherflux cannon

goa way

imposter sus

ur not one of us

[young socket]

aether flux looks like it uses exo prims lmao

[pliant ruin]

aether flux isnt dedicated btw

[split mortar]

i legit thought it was a miracle weapon for a sec

[split mortar]

bruh

[mighty zenith]

aetherflux is a miracle matter weapon in disguise

[pliant ruin]

i wonder how resprited seraph tracers will look...

[mighty zenith]

resplendent tracers

[snow mountain]

i hope the wings come from the boots this time

[dusk laurel]

i need more vanilla style boots

[snow mountain]

i will riot if they don't

this is a threat

[split mortar]

yharim wings

[pliant ruin]

yharim wings they come from yharim

[split mortar]

yharim we can be wings

[dusk laurel]

calamity mod should add perfect wings imo

[pliant ruin]

i hope we get more post ml wings...

[pliant ruin]

ideal.

[snow mountain]

ideal

[dusk laurel]

ideal

[pulsar ocean]

perfect...?

[split mortar]

perfect cell

[mighty zenith]

how perfect...

[split mortar]

How many yharims does it take to make a lightbulb

[gritty kraken]

They should add time traveling,multiverse and overly complicated characters lore to calamity

[split mortar]

No

[mighty zenith]

none, their too busy ??? they dragon!

[warm iris]

How many Draedons does it take to invent an actually functional phone charger that doesn't break in that specific way where you have to hold it at weird angles just to work

[pliant ruin]

5

[mighty zenith]

yeah 5

[warm iris]

Auric tesla phone charger

here I come

[warm iris]

No that's for the Calamity light novel

that Power Scalers will use to say Yharim solos fiction

[wheat walrus]

calamity light novel will add multiverses that are ontological in nature and also metaphysical

guys

[warm iris]

Calamity light novel's characters will all just be different versions of Yharim that are all named [Thing] Yharim and treated like totally different people

(Looking at you, Undertale comic makers)

[split mortar]

Then they will refer to them as [thing] mainly

[warm iris]

Yeah but [Thing] Yharim is their full names, like legally

[pliant ruin]

calamityswap guys

[warm iris]

Calamitas as the tyrant

[pliant ruin]

draedon is now a renowed mage and permafrost is a cryogenics scientist

[warm iris]

and Yharim is the tortured edgelord

[pliant ruin]

calamitas is the dragonseeker

[random mulch]

calamitas has a phd and draedon has a flamethrower

[pliant ruin]

yharim is the uhhhhh.... auric mage

instead of brimstone wtich we got the auric mage

gottem

actually no

auric warlock

fits better

[warm iris]

The idea of Draedon, a fully mechanical being, going "Man, fuck all this math shit" and specing into magic instead is pretty funny

[mighty zenith]

TS!Calamiswap

: 3

[pliant ruin]

amidias is the spearmaster

and gorthus is the illmeran king

also this means amidias is dead

[warm iris]

No he'll be alive with no further explanation

Yharon and Dragonfolly swap places just cause it'd be funny

Yharim clones wearing busted auric stuff just wandering around

[pliant ruin]

yharon swaps places with zeratros

shrimple

dragon of primordial flame

dragon of light

[warm iris]

Crabulon is a giant mushroom infected with parasitic crabs fought in the ocean

[random mulch]

gods always come back cause xeroc ate the soul of rebirth and yharim is trying to science a way to destroy their souls

[random mulch]

peak

[pliant ruin]

nono you see

calamitas is the dragonseeker

she wants to kill all the dragons

because.. uhh...

[dusk laurel]

oh god dragon of slime

[random mulch]

crabulon is now the shroomseeker

[dusk laurel]

dragon of ash

[pliant ruin]

dragon of ravager

[gritty kraken]

New event just dropped

[pliant ruin]

like the exact same

[warm iris]

Astrageldon wasn't removed in this timeline btw

[pliant ruin]

worst timeline

[warm iris]

Draedon is also a fire mage that you have to free by beating Pyrogen

[pliant ruin]

draedon has a flamethrower

[split mortar]

The exo fight is replaced with ultramage fight

[warm iris]

Exo mechs are replaced with a bunch of ice constructs

[pliant ruin]

calclone is replaced with fucking yharclone

😭

and instead of being edited twins its

[mighty zenith]

return of bumblebirb

[pliant ruin]

edited skeletron prime

yharim himself is a human but for a inexplicable reason his clone is a recolored skeletron prime

[warm iris]

Instead of the brothers, a yharon clone is there instead

[prime mauve]

Skeletron Tesla

Wait wait

Are embeds work here

[supple wedge]

Why the fuck is calclone an eye

[pliant ruin]

instead of the sulphur sea you get the electrified sea which replaces one of the oceans

instead of the sunken sea you get the uhh

sunken swamp???

[supple wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/calamity-supreme-calamitas-supreme-calamitas-terraria-gif-2469299775447303339

[prime mauve]

I present to you yharclone

[warm iris]

Risen sea, it's in the sky now

[pliant ruin]

and instead of the abyss you get the basalt trench

[split mortar]

Exo mechs replace the base early bosses

[gritty kraken]

Destroyer probes are now piloted by real and licensed dragon seeker knights or something idk I’m clueless

[warm iris]

This but make him piss yellow

[random mulch]

skeletron neo jumpscare

[pliant ruin]

because shes old

[split mortar]

Because outdated design

[pliant ruin]

she is not suppoed to be an eye

[prime mauve]

Worse omegatron tbh

[pliant ruin]

shes just old

old and decrepit

[gritty kraken]

I think they were trying to do the “first boss’s an eye final boss’s an eye too” back then or something

[supple wedge]

So the lore explanation is just "hmm... Shell."

[random mulch]

fabsol's just lazy

[pliant ruin]

no there is no lore explanation

because its not supposed to look like that

[random mulch]

so retinazer 2 was made

[pliant ruin]

to be fair it probably wasn't like

as bad for the time period

[split mortar]

Who spawns in retinazer 3 and spazmatism 2

[pliant ruin]

its more so the fact it stayed as that until now when other mods have actually cool bosses that is

[random mulch]

fabsol is allergic to good boss design

[pliant ruin]

devourer of gods used to literally just be the destroyer but with purple eyes

and like slightly different mandibles

[warm iris]

tbf wasn't that like, before modding really took off?

[pliant ruin]

yeah that was years ago

and the mod was like just born into existence

[gritty kraken]

What if profaned guardians were worms

[supple wedge]

And now he's one of the most majestic bosses imo

[pliant ruin]

it had no spriters or anything

devourer

majestic

[snow mountain]

oh my god

[pliant ruin]

[split mortar]

True

[warm iris]

Get Fixed Boi Devourer should have a .1% chance to start calling you slurs just to mess with streamers

[pliant ruin]

[prime mauve]

"It's not over yet, kid!" -> [string of curse words]

[pliant ruin]

calamity if it was written by vizviepop

(its just the devourer

[random mulch]

"It's not over yet you son of a bitch!"

[warm iris]

He goes on a full LTG rant

[split mortar]

“Its not over yet, kid!” “FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU”

[pliant ruin]

[surreal cosmos]

Devourer consumes you, looks at the screen and calls you a slur

[pliant ruin]

A MOTHERFUCKING GOD DOSEN'T FUCKING FEAR DEATH, BITCH

[supple wedge]

I mean imo that's a majestic looking boss

[surreal cosmos]

Ow the edge

[pliant ruin]

devourer of gods design discussion

the horse cannot be beaten furhter

[split mortar]

The nefarious outdated design (so spiky)

[pliant ruin]

the horse is nowhere

[random mulch]

DoG truly hasn't changed that much since he was just a purple destroyer huh

[surreal cosmos]

The horse is atoms

[pliant ruin]

where there once used to be a horse there is only dust

[dusk laurel]

peter the horse is not here

[pliant ruin]

the horse has been reduced to atoms

[prime mauve]

A good fight?

Finally

[random mulch]

[random mulch]

[split mortar]

Seahorse scrutiny

[pliant ruin]

[snow mountain]

sir nautilus is cndrion's redemption

[gritty kraken]

[pliant ruin]

[random mulch]

[snow mountain]

[wheat walrus]

Sigmatron

Yogurtron is calamity final boss

[dusk laurel]

😭

[pliant ruin]

what the fuck

peak

i idn't evne know that one existed

[random mulch]

DoG's boss checklist portrait should be a zoom-in on the face that takes up both pages

[latent bolt]

what is the scoogean idol

[split mortar]

Cheesep

[faint totem]

Fuckin what

[latent bolt]

The thing egg named herself after

[split mortar]

Who the fuck is egg

[latent bolt]

[split mortar]

Thats cheese ?

[cosmic zenith]

Gentlemen, gentlewoman and gentle-enbies

[latent bolt]

i forgot her old name

[split mortar]

Delta the rune

[cosmic zenith]

Please send me your image/video refs of what you think would be the peakest draconic monk outfits/looks

[faint totem]

Bet

[limpid saddle]

Brealor: FUCKING KILL YOURSELF (Sent 6 months ago)

[pliant ruin]

its me

im the scoogean idol

the idol of the scoogs

[pliant ruin]

honestly i dunno, i suppose it depends on what dragons they alligned themselves with

[cosmic zenith]

Any is valid

For the purposes of this message

[pliant ruin]

cuz all i can really think of with the basis of "dragon monk" is generic monk outfits 😭

[cosmic zenith]

Let's say... Soul, then

[deft vessel]

Hmm… this sounds familiar…

[pliant ruin]

what is this. some kind of nine soul

[cosmic zenith]

I personally looked extensively for (Rain World) Ancient/Benefactor outfits, or outfits that resembled those

[pliant ruin]

i was gonna say theres a specific monk subclass in dnd (mercy) that i often see get some interesting character designs

it has a bit of a victorian plague doctor aesthethic mixed with monk aesthethics it's pretty cool

i wonder if smth like that could work for a death dragon monk...?

honestly i cant really think of many particularly interesting monk designs but yeah

[split mortar]

Honestly imo itd be very different between the dragons snd who was their monk at the time

[cosmic zenith]

This is because I'm trying to designing my dev vanity/Mosaic's concept art

[faint totem]

Ooo

[faint totem]

Oh cool!

[cosmic zenith]

Yeah, uh
A bit weird

[split mortar]

Mosaic

[pliant ruin]

other than this all the monk designs i can think of are just

generic honestly

[deft vessel]

I just think it’d be neat of the robes were like flowing "soul juice"

[faint totem]

soul J U I C E

[deft vessel]

🥤

[real silo]

Maybe soul sanctum fellas from HK?

[pliant ruin]

does jia qiu limbus count as a monk

hes kind of monk coded

[real silo]

I don't remember exactly how they look but like they're soul related

[pliant ruin]

theyre just fat bugs with cloaks

i dont think theres really much of a way to make a interesting character design out of it given theyre incredibly simplistic and their design just works in the context of hollow knight

theyre just fat

because like yeah bloated with soul and stuff

[real silo]

Wow cheese fatshaming

[random mulch]

idk i tried

[real silo]

What about soul master

[pliant ruin]

soul master is fatter and has a hood

and its cloak is slightly more ornate

[real silo]

damn

[real silo]

Fella

[pliant ruin]

honestly the best way to go about character design is probably just to think of design elements that fit ur character's personality and lore and whatnot first and then find references of characters with similar elements

to adapt ur own

[random mulch]

true

[split mortar]

Oh wait we going with soul

[cosmic zenith]

That is correct, but for that, you need repertoir

Which is why I'm building a reference board

[pliant ruin]

fair

are there any specific elements u have in mind for them

[cosmic zenith]

Auric kitsune mask is basically settled

Would like into an Ancient/Benefactor inspiration

As the full name of the OC this represents is Aphra, Mosaic of Gilt Threads, I was considering implementing a golden thread motif in some way

Nets, meander patterns, necklaces... whatever works

It is the iteration phase, so there are a ton of possibilities

[real silo]

Nets...

[real silo]

This reminds me someone on the dev team once drew some awesome robes that has golden stuff too

I don't remember if it was bird or mihaii

[pliant ruin]

for some reason i'm just picturing ego dongbaek now

😭

[cosmic zenith]

For context of what Ancient/Benefactor style is like (somewhat), here are two of my probably most representative refs

[pliant ruin]

but like... with a kitsune mask ontop

[cosmic zenith]

By MagicaJaphet and Charlotte Nashira on Twitter respectively

[mighty zenith]

for some reason, alder's outfit feels very draconic

with some adjustments to remove the pokeballs and maybe adding feathers

[cosmic zenith]

The hair certainly helps lol

[mighty zenith]

i could see a more primal/wild look fit well

[cosmic zenith]

The jagged edges

[mighty zenith]

yes the hair especially

[cosmic zenith]

The muted, almost earth-like colors

[random mulch]

making designs for some of the dragons and their respective monks might be fun tbh

[cosmic zenith]

The simplicity of the clothes as well....

It somewhat reminds me of Ancient Greek clothes in how they aren't very cut, mostly geometrical pieces of cloth held together by pins

[cosmic zenith]

Ooooo

[real silo]

Maybe smth like these semi transparent stuff

[cosmic zenith]

It's in times like this I remember this has to somehow fit in a player-sized sprite

[faint totem]

Hah

[real silo]

Damn!

[glacial rampart]

i just realized something

[dusk laurel]

spicebush...

[random mulch]

big cloth

[cosmic zenith]

Xeroc already kinda does that

[real silo]

Head wings could be cool as well maybe

Or greek crowns

The ones my homie caesar wears

[glacial rampart]

et tu, Altraxia?

[real silo]

Though ig that would be more king like than monk like

[real silo]

Whar

[late veldt]

Just make the player bigger! Zero ramifications I can think of!

[real silo]

Make mosaic yharim sized

[cosmic zenith]

Unfortunately, already has horns
But I have a mask effect in mind.....

[real silo]

Fair

[cosmic zenith]

Laurel wreaths

I'm leaving that for a Vetrasyl monk outfit, if that becomes real

[real silo]

oo

Monk of storms

Mosaic is a guy right

[cosmic zenith]

Yes

Really wondering if I should go with Mosaic's natural hair (similar to Lügner from Frieren) or do something like this

Bigass mane-like hair

[snow mountain]

perhaps japanese buddhist mummies could be useful

[faint totem]

What

[snow mountain]

design refs

[plucky lichen]

Love this hairstyle

[supple wedge]

All I can think off is SCal robes but differently colored-

[plucky lichen]

You could also do an awesome super long braid

Or half braid

Wait hold on

[cosmic zenith]

Damn I recolored one of my refs and I think I found the palette and most of the clothing

[snow mountain]

just saying

[mighty zenith]

the roba

[cosmic zenith]

Goddamn

[cosmic zenith]

So true! She is one of the references, actually

[random mulch]

now i feel like making a dragon and a monk 😔

[supple wedge]

I still feel like writing a story about calamity mod from my Terrarian’s perspective but laziness is just

[plucky lichen]

Does this make any sense

This hair

Bangs are interchangeable

[plucky lichen]

This is me every day

[supple wedge]

Creativity ain’t even letting me sleep well

[plucky lichen]

I fw the robe heavy

Also reminds me I need to draw your goob

[hearty ingot]

Plantera is evil

?

[pliant ruin]

not really

its a plant

[split mortar]

Its tortured souls in a plant iirc

More like a wild animal in intelligence i think

[cosmic zenith]

Yeah!

[supple wedge]

Like WaffleTime would say: "S M A S H"

[cosmic zenith]

This actually does look like their hair

Them as a child

[pliant ruin]

❓

[plucky lichen]

Oh my god it’s the baby

Is this the same goob that you asked me to draw for an emote or a different goob

[pliant ruin]

cute

[supple wedge]

WaffleTime whenever he hears/sees Plantera

[pliant ruin]

❓

[cosmic zenith]

I remember asking you to draw Nyx, but I dunno if you saw Mosaic

[plucky lichen]

Ohhh ok nyx yes

I gotta work on that

Might do that now

[cosmic zenith]

Better adjusted colors

[plucky lichen]

Same expression as the drawing given to me?

[cosmic zenith]

Yeah

[plucky lichen]

Ok!

[cosmic zenith]

Though you can play around if you want

[split mortar]

Looks so :D

[cosmic zenith]

It's just based on Fern pout

Thanks!

[supple wedge]

I wanna learn how to draw

[cosmic zenith]

It's really fun

[supple wedge]

I used to be good

Objects and simple shapes, that is

I can’t draw people

[plucky lichen]

I can draw kitty cats

[snow mountain]

if my wrists didn't hurt so much id be fine

[plucky lichen]

I don’t know how my wrists aren’t ruined

[snow mountain]

i try and draw on an ipad and i just can't because my wrists h

urt

[plucky lichen]

You still do wonderfully

Genuinely adore all of your art

I need to get better at… everything tbh

But that’s just how art be

[snow mountain]

[cosmic zenith]

Going back to the topic of lore

While this is my dev vanity and therefore not canon, the character it represents is based on canon stuff I'm making for Hadean Wilds :)

Speculate

[split mortar]

Carameladansen or whatever the song is

[random mulch]

this whole thing caused me to remember that i have a calamity oc, so i drew him

Depressed papyrus?

[light linden]

@cosmic zenithcan I ask a question?

[random mulch]

[supple wedge]

Mr. Skelibones?

[light linden]

Has anyone been inside the dungeon in its current state aside from us, the old man, and the mechanic?

[cosmic zenith]

Possibly

[light linden]

I feel like the bandit went in there

[supple wedge]

Who’s the bandit?

[pliant ruin]

the npc

[supple wedge]

Do you know how much that narrows it down?

[pliant ruin]

alot given its a npc called the bandit

[supple wedge]

Do I look like I look at every NPC for their name?

[pliant ruin]

i think its pretty easy to tell that when someone is talking about the bandit theyre talking about the npc called the bandit

[supple wedge]

There’s a bandit NPC?

[pliant ruin]

no srry the npc called The Bandit is a farmer actually

😭

[supple wedge]

Oooh

The one who sells rouge stuff?

[supple wedge]

Aaaah

I never did a rouge play through so I never paid attention to them

[random mulch]

felt like sketching the monk of the dragon of death

[supple wedge]

He looks old

[real silo]

Slimy

[random mulch]

no slime, just a piece of tattered cloth

[pulsar ocean]

He looks like a dude connected to the dragon of death

[limpid saddle]

Maybe I should do monk designs

sounds fun

[thorn drift]

is draedon capable of larger scale space travel?

[young socket]

yea he could

[thorn drift]

but he just doesnt bother?

[young socket]

yea

[thorn drift]

damn

[young socket]

too complicated for seemingly no reward

by complicated i mean

[thorn drift]

i mean

[young socket]

the astral existing

[thorn drift]

he could strip mine a couple planets

[dusk laurel]

unless draedon finds some crazy shit he wont bother

[thorn drift]

okay but the martians did it and they were fine

[young socket]

not running out of resources

[young socket]

they live close by

[thorn drift]

fair enough actually

damn space travel really is useless to that man

[young socket]

also the martians didnt leave cuz they wanted to

[split mortar]

And the guy is still bothered with life on this planet why explore for some maybe alive planets rn

[magic epoch]

the horrors

[wheat walrus]

Eeermmm

Depends

We know, in his own word, that he can't do interstellar travel, presumably because he doesn't have stuff like ftl travel?

yea

Low Orbit Study Log p2

Travel between worlds is a fascination of mine. The planets within reasonable distance to this provide no use to me in terms of materials or study opportunities they could provide. And so, I wish to go further beyond this mere cluster of planets some day. It will likely take many more decades of technological progress, however, as travel between worlds would take years even at the maximum speed physical matter can currently go. Perhaps I will find a way to shatter this limit once this world holds my interest no longer.

he can travel to planets in "reasonable distance", but as you said he does not because they're unrewarding

but he can't do much more than that, given he doesn't have ftl travel (needed, as it would take years even at the maximum speed physical matter can go, he says)

[long bloom]

fun fact there's actually a reason the planets are like that

[wheat walrus]

im aware

:p

now, no need to flex thy patron

[long bloom]

wait it's patreon?

shit

[dusk laurel]

[long bloom]

then how do you know

[wheat walrus]

last i checked, yes, what you're talking about is patreon/non-public

[long bloom]

was it triangle

[wheat walrus]

no

[dusk laurel]

privileges

[wheat walrus]

anyways

[young socket]

its not its in shockstorm shuttles entry

theyre literally called ruined

[long bloom]

the reason why they're ruined is patron info

[wheat walrus]

if you consider "larger scale space travel" to be just surrounding planets, then yes, if not no

[wheat walrus]

mr obvious of the oilclear house with the no shit rule

heheheha

[young socket]

omni

go to sleep

[wheat walrus]

it's not even late

9pm 💔

[young socket]

yes it is its 9pm

[wheat walrus]

symgau 😔

"it's 9pm" miss obvious spoke

[wheat walrus]

ill add the invention of the no shit rule to the timeline actually

[split mortar]

Closer to 9:30 pm

For omni

[wheat walrus]

that's still 9pm nerd

[split mortar]

Its even later and thus says their point more

[wheat walrus]

there was no point in the first place 💔

wait like

another 2 or 3 hours

[warm iris]

I'm bored, ppl who make OCs or write, how cooked is your favorite if they were in the same room as a pissed off Yharim

[light linden]

yharim would be pissed off because of my oc

[warm iris]

Why?

[light linden]

actively trying to prevent yharon from reviving

[limpid saddle]

Like in general or specifically calamity

[warm iris]

Hating on the dragons for no reason smh

[warm iris]

Just in general

[light linden]

no they don't want him causing a second crusade while they're literally in another dimension

[limpid saddle]

my dragon ball ocs probably all rinse him

all my other ones get obliterated though

[warm iris]

Ok but I said favorite, so that's up to you to pick

[warm iris]

Fair enuff

[limpid saddle]

ok my Neo-Tuffle OC, Ampicillin, probably beats Yharim in that scenario

[warm iris]

My answer: either no-hit first try or get turned to dust effectively

[light linden]

hell they don't even care about fighting yharim

[warm iris]

Next level hating, I respect it

[light linden]

?

no they just think catalyst astrageldon is a bigger threat

[warm iris]

I just find the idea of ignoring Yharim just to mess with his pet dragon funny

[split mortar]

I mean true, that thing does eat universes

[light linden]

thing canonically ate an entire universe and is bleeding into other universes

[warm iris]

I need to play Catalyst

[light linden]

one is on death's door while not leaving a pocket dimension, the other is extremely powerful and can not be killed

[warm iris]

True

[warm iris]

Had to google neo tuffle, never heard of that term being used for ppl like Baby before, it was always just "Tuffle" or "Tuffle parasite"

[limpid saddle]

well it's neo-tuffle specifically because tuffle was just the species of small people, neo-tuffles are a genetically engineered form of those people

but with you know all the freaky parasite shit

[warm iris]

Yeah, just never heard anyone call em neo tuffles before

[warm iris]

I actually have a few DB ones too but I wouldn't call em my faves

Unfortunately Yharim stays at D desk for the next 10 years (He's never dropping)

[limpid saddle]

Yeah just among them Ampicillin is my favourite

If I had to call out favourites right now they'd probably be my Jujutsu Kaisen OCs, Soma Kamo (Death Painting) & Kiyoharu Nakajima (Sorcerer)

I cant find where I put my Soma photos but heres Kiyoharu

He dresses casual but his clothes look weird & bulky because he has a full set of armor under it

His technique, Shifting Thousand Folds, is contact-based metal manipulation

He still gets obliterated by Yharim though

He touches the auric thinking 'Wait maybe I can make it crush him!' & explodes from auric rejection

[warm iris]

That's kinda funny

[warm iris]

Holy shit that is an insane concidence 😭 My fav OC I made also has metal based abilities

but it's not contact based, he can just create and control whatever metal

[limpid saddle]

he can just make it???

is there like a limit or

[warm iris]

Well he's part of a novel I'm writing so that's down the power system I made but the only limit is stamina

[limpid saddle]

[warm iris]

So it's a 50/50 against Yharim
Either he's forced into a no hit run cause one hit would send him to hell
OR you allow him to copy and use auric and it becomes one sided

[warm iris]

What?

[limpid saddle]

that shit busted as hell how are you gonna justify this character losing any conflict when he can crush his enemies with a ball of metal

& i mean like

[warm iris]

I mean we can DM about it cause the answer is pretty complicated

[limpid saddle]

Form a ball around them & then compress it until they die

[warm iris]

and ion wanna clog the calamity lore chat with it

[limpid saddle]

not roll them over with a metal ball

[pliant ruin]

idk

[warm iris]

Again, I could DM you the answer if you want

[pliant ruin]

i havent thought too hard about the actual pwoer level of my characters because they're for yet to be written stories

well

i guess

technically speaking

theres the roy protagonist who technically is a character i made

and since

the final boss is yharim

hey could beat him

so

theres that

but other than that

i have genuinely no idea

[warm iris]

That's fair

[pliant ruin]

most of my characters are for 1 specific story that i have yet to fully write so idrk what their like general power level would be, one of the protagonists of my story is meant to be pretty damn strong in-universe but

idk how strong that'd equate in calamity terms

[warm iris]

Yeah it's hard to figure out sometimes, I don't blame you for not having an answer

Only reason I know the answer for my guys is cause I have horrible worldbuilders syndrome and have thought about this sorta stuff too extensively

[pliant ruin]

i generally do narrative more than worldbuilding which

seems to be the minority?

well atleast from whta ive seen most ppl seem to do more worldbuilding

[warm iris]

It's really easy to get into a loop of wanting to make everything as fleshed out as possible before having the confidence to move forward

at least for me it is

[pliant ruin]

my main problem is less with wanting to flesh out things and getting stuck in a loop and more so a constant cycle of dissatisfication

i suppose

i do like my writing don't get me wrong

its just that i often find myself not really knowing how to develop certain plotlines

and then its a cycle of trying to find a solution and not being able to so i just rewrite it

[warm iris]

It's basically like: Oh, there's this new idea, now I have to skim through everything to make sure it fits everything else, meanwhile that idea isn't anywhere near being relevant to the only 4 or so chapters I've done so far

[pliant ruin]

i'm quite proud of the plot synopsis i have so far tho

[warm iris]

I haven't put together a good plot synopsis yet but I probably should

[violet crow]

Yo so who is the one speaking in the lore of the bosses

[dusk laurel]

yharim

[faint totem]

I’d like an alternative form of lore from the player’s POV. Like instead of whispers, it’s journal pages

[mighty zenith]

🫵

write it yourself

[cosmic zenith]

Gorthus

[faint totem]

Once I’m home and have had a break. And by break, I mean a quick nap and getting to at minimum Skeletron. Maybe

[magic epoch]

The terrarian..?

[magic epoch]

I would send mine but I don't want that to happen again

[split mortar]

Lore chat is doomed its looped back to being funny

[wheat walrus]

ein announcement tomorrow‼️

[untold oracle]

a visitor?

indeed

[untold oracle]

lock in guys!!!

deploy a very serious character morality question!!

[faint totem]

Heh?

[faint totem]

Okay.
Is Yharim a top?

[untold oracle]

not this discussion again 😭

[faint totem]

What?

[untold oracle]

there already was a similar one with braelor before

[long bloom]

where

[untold oracle]

like
early 2025

anyways uh

[limpid saddle]

yeah like 2 months ago

& i agree

we shouldnt do this one

[untold oracle]

how much could yharim bench press

[limpid saddle]

[long bloom]

with or without armor

[untold oracle]

probably without if it affects the performance

[cosmic zenith]

You ever think about how he technically is?
He is the worm working for Yharim from within Ilmeris

[faint totem]

1 Draedon and 1 Dron.

[untold oracle]

YHARIM WITH WORM AI

not the dron

[faint totem]

It felt better than saying 1 and 1/2 Draedons

[spring helm]

nobody talks about the atrocities Braelor committed back in '73

[cosmic zenith]

@pliant ruin Gorth

[wheat walrus]

that's more metaphorically i think

unless he's an actual worm and that's not just a metaphor

[cosmic zenith]

Metaphorically, yes

[wheat walrus]

flames

[cosmic zenith]

It would be funny if Yhorm or Gorthus showed up in the roleplay....

[austere egret]

time to pull embed perms again...

[warm gull]

I can see the future

[wheat walrus]

You don't live to see tomorrow.

[cosmic zenith]

I am dying to see the yesterday

[untold oracle]

lore discussion removal tomorrow

[faint totem]

I’m gonna make the pages exclusively for events, since the only event with a whisper is blood moon

[glacial rampart]

who the FUCK is gorthus

[dusk laurel]

sunken ghost npc

[glacial rampart]

[dusk laurel]

we dont have any art but hes like a salmon

and a smith

[mighty zenith]

you dont live to delta rune tomorrow....

[glacial rampart]

this is my deltar une

[wheat walrus]

you dont live to monster hunter law of ideas 2: forbidden book tomorrow

[faint totem]

I’m tempted to make the tooltip for the pages when you aren’t holding shift Most of it is illegible, but you can make out a few sentences…, but if you have the Brimstone Locus in your inventory, it changes to Upon further inspection, the illegibility is from the terrible handwriting.

[normal sinew]

What is exodium cluster ore in a most specific way, like i know it comes from the sky, but what effects have on armors or swords or whatever?

The description just says that is a dark energy material

How thats a material? what effects does it have ?

[real silo]

A visitor....

[warm gull]

@mighty zenith

[glacial rampart]

whom is them

[cosmic zenith]

Guess....

[glacial rampart]

crabulons

what other beasts existed

only crab

[soft geyser]

Is scal strong enough to beat all pre dog bosses at the same time

[real silo]

No

[soft geyser]

Really

I thought she would be

[real silo]

It's a lot of bosses

[soft geyser]

Most would be fodder

Though

[real silo]

The nefarious polter, ravager, OD, providence and her guards

[soft geyser]

Like pokterghast provi and distortion trio should be the problem

[soft geyser]

What if we include her brothers and spletcher too?

Technically they are in the fight

[real silo]

That's still a lot of really strong foes all at once

[soft geyser]

I mean true

I believe in her

I think exos would probably fair better in the same scenario because 3 death machines

Instead of 1 super killer and 3 minions

[real silo]

Maybe yeah

Twins vs OD, folly, storm weaver and signus
Ares vs providence, guardians and ravager
Thanatos vs polter and everything else

[wooden shadow]

Lore :D

[faint totem]

I’d like to know if anyone approves/disapproves this headcanon of mine:
The Terrarian can write, but their handwriting looks more like Eldritch runes than actual words. A paragraph written by them could probably be used as a substitute for a ritual chant to summon Azathoth.

[split mortar]

Idk where you got that azathoth exists in calamity but neat headcanon for your terrarian

[hoary berry]

runes.

my brain

it swarms

[split mortar]

Runes

[clever raft]

Deltarune and Terraria (calamity) players aré the opposite

[supple wedge]

Wym

Both don't read

[split mortar]

Then why is like most cal players i know also delta players

[clever raft]

Deltarune players take EVERYTHING as a metaphor, and calamity powerscale an ítem with metaphors

[split mortar]

Thats just the internet

[clever raft]

Balance

[clever raft]

Real asf

[supple wedge]

[hoary berry]

rune lore

[faint totem]

Because I can

And yeah, if you’re lucky, maybe TWO sentences will be legible.

[supple wedge]

Ah yes, I do love writing a letter to my friends up accidentally summoning an Eldritch Deity with it

[faint totem]

Yeah

[split mortar]

Goose and runes

[hoary berry]

[magic epoch]

summon... who..?

@visual kiln ..?

[stoic gulch]

No watt

Way

P in calamity mod

[visual kiln]

helloooo :DDDDDD

[stoic gulch]

I’m so confused cheese used to have a bochi pfp now you have one

I’m going to implode

[supple wedge]

I’m going to spontaneously combust

[supple wedge]

Which Auric Dragon was the light one again?

[split mortar]

Zeratros

Dragon king

One absorbed by xeroc

[supple wedge]

Yeah that one

Thanks

[static storm]

are the desert scourge and aquatic scourge the same species?

[long bloom]

uhhhhhhhhh

ask triangle

[static storm]

whos that

[split mortar]

A dev

[snow mountain]

triangargle is a renowned spritelet

he knows the janding...

[mighty zenith]

what are you even saying

[split mortar]

Theyre part of the same family (the term above genus and species) but not the same species iirc

May change since a lot has changed internally kinda

[mighty zenith]

those strings of words just mean absolute nonsense to me you weird little rat thing

[snow mountain]

tis ok uninitiated one

you simply are unaware of the ultimate grixelling jand technique

[static storm]

oh k

[static storm]

alr tysm

[sinful adder]

They're cousins

[mighty zenith]

incattus

[sinful adder]

[mighty zenith]

incomprehensible user

[snow mountain]

incattus

[mighty zenith]

[snow mountain]

no im already on fire

[mighty zenith]

[snow mountain]

oh no

[real silo]

inc tetos

[crimson junco]

Stacking fire debuffs irl

[dense lynx]

so is it canon that both crimson and corruption exsist in the world?

[real silo]

Yes

[dense lynx]

so the calamity world is in drunk seed

[real silo]

No

[thorn drift]

Both exist in the world, it just so happens that the area we play in has either one or the other

[dense lynx]

or use both evils mod

[spice torrent]

or

Drunk world

[pliant ruin]

.

[supple crypt]

Hey guys so where can I read the lore?

[dusk laurel]

pinned message

[supple crypt]

Thanks

[last oxide]

[real silo]

torch god

statis abandoned his gay lover in the evil fucked up dimension

[real silo]

I believe that is enough nonsense

[last oxide]

ty

[river python]

Hi my beloveds

[faint totem]

Lovecraft creature. An all powerful creature that will cause the end of the world if he wakes.

[split mortar]

I have not seen the ends existence if awoken part actually be cited and just taken as fact so idk how reliable that part is

[mighty zenith]

🐇

[faint totem]

Yeah I’m unsure on that too. Apparently Nyarlathotep is his child?

[faint totem]

Idk

[river python]

The lore is going to change that now Fabsol is out of the project?

[real silo]

Probably not

[river python]

Thank god

[real silo]

Fabsol wasn't involved with the lore

So yea

[river python]

What is going to change?

[light linden]

the plans for the drunk princess lore are out though

[real silo]

Uhh

There's some scattered plans but nothing concrete yet

Don't count on much changing basically

[random mulch]

bosses are finally not gonna be 90% vanilla ai

so that's something

[young socket]

the only potential change is sg with the whole qs thing and old duke would just be a different dragon but literally everything else will be the same

[pliant ruin]

summon who .

[real silo]

thoth like the agyptian god

egy

[river python]

Well thats actually great

[young socket]

ozzathoth

[random mulch]

desert scourge is gonna be shortened significantly and become an oversized lizard instead of a generic worm

[snow mountain]

your mother mentioned!!

[split mortar]

Legs acquired

[river python]

When Yharim is going to be released?

[snow mountain]

twelve fargo years

[split mortar]

After all other updates if the plan hasnt changed

[random mulch]

they kinda want to only release yharim when the rest of the mod has been fleshed out and modernized

[river python]

1 fargo years= ???

[split mortar]

Thats the joke

[river python]

How many years is a fargo year

[snow mountain]

good question

[random mulch]

(fargo time is a joke, it has no actual meaning)

[split mortar]

Who knows

[faint totem]

Look it up

[split mortar]

You are

[pliant ruin]

azzy azatoth

[mighty zenith]

🐇

[late veldt]

where did the term "Fargo year" come from, anyways?

[split mortar]

A message from deviantt saying about being 100 fargo years and to not ask how long one is

[pulsar ocean]

does the lore doc have gorthus

[split mortar]

Not ingame so no

[light linden]

just had a thought

dragonfolly is being moved to being a sky boss right?

[dusk laurel]

likely

[light linden]

that might answer a question I've had for a while then

[late veldt]

Is it? I hadn't heard

[random mulch]

maybe but not confirmed

[crimson junco]

It's future thing

Better focusing on SSO

[late veldt]

Folly and calclone getting fucking nuked lmao. makes me wonder if the interludes are gonna be moved since cal and WoF both have one

[split mortar]

Oh and deus may be post ml

[random mulch]

which makes pbg the final calamity hm boss

[split mortar]

Lunatic cultist:

[light linden]

hot take but uh

[split mortar]

Moonlord:

[mossy ibex]

:o The crimson & corruption will no longer immediately become irrelevant after the mech bosses are killed(!!!)

[light linden]

kinda feel like aureus needs to be closer to the mechs

[dusk laurel]

what is that supposed to mean

[mossy ibex]

I hope deus becomes post ml its current placement is awful horrible
why would you make them supposed to be fight in the one period where you're guaranteed to have the pillars floating around

[light linden]

the astral infection is just kinda

there until post plant

[random mulch]

so adding yet another boss to the pre-plant section?

[dusk laurel]

yes we need an 8th pre plant boss

its like a magnet

[split mortar]

Hardmode in general is

[random mulch]

replace cryogen with a structure

[light linden]

that's not what I mean

[late veldt]

Also damn prehard getting shafted again

[light linden]

just there's a lot of odd content gaps for the astral infection

[late veldt]

GUYS I JUST NOTICED

THEY FORGOT DEERCLOPS JEJEJSHSUSJ3HDUSJSHEUSISIEUUSUSUSHEUSUSEHEUSU

[dusk laurel]

thats called old calamity content

[random mulch]

deerclops is not a boss deerclops is not real deerclops is fake

[light linden]

[stark basalt]

deerclops is not real and can not hurt us

[late veldt]

Deerclops always getting the shaft lmao

[light linden]

[dusk laurel]

yes

[late veldt]

Probably

[split mortar]

Yes

[dusk laurel]

[split mortar]

Rogue paladin

[dusk laurel]

[late veldt]

Queen slime just felt like they panicked and made shit up

Instead of moving sg

[split mortar]

I mean
What else could they do if sg stayed pre qs

[late veldt]

Yeah

[random mulch]

calamity's everything is such a

[split mortar]

And fabsol was yknow
Fabsoling the boss decisions

[late veldt]

[random mulch]

[random mulch]

astral infection doesnt have much and loses all relevance after ml
