Thinking about Jericho, I’m giving him that one song from Mili called And then is heard no more
Text
Was thinking what pokemons would the Eom group have, I know Marius would have like a Aegislash but I’m unsure if he would have it after his metamorphosis, Lethica would have like an Mismagius but I also want to give her a Decidueye (her just having a tiny Rowlet would be adorable as well…), Jericho would give like a Mimikyu or a Cacturne and Virgil I’m giving a Corviknight because of course, I’m having trouble thinking what the others would have… I’m giving Briggsy a Totodile or a Fuecoco, but only the first evolutions, he only gets the babies/j

Ok I’m making that Loa antagonist post I wanted to make, mostly because I wanted to put information for them for myself so I can remember it
SPOILERS FOR ALL OF BDW, COS, IB AND EOM
[[MORE]]First and foremost I’m mostly talking about campaigns I have watched, there still some I haven’t looked at like Stardust rhapsody and such, I’ll get there when I get there and this is mostly me spitballing things
Curse of Strahdanya: Strahdanya von Zarovich
Strahdanya felt like truly fearsome force while I watched CoS, whenever she made her appearance in the story, be it to taunt the expedition or to manipulate them into doing detrimental things to themselves, she always felt so intimidating, any wrong move around her and the expedition was done for, it felt like she was just letting them play along and do their things for her own entertainment but that cockiness was her downfall in the end, giving the expedition enough time for them to actually do what needed to be done to defeat
We truly get to know more about her, that she truly did love her brother and was still keeping his body to this day, that she still felt remorse after killing him and then witnessing her love fall to her death, we get to know that she was also manipulated to take the dark gift she got by Baba Lysaga and was bound to the Blood Queen, unable to leave Barovia no matter how much she tried, that it was her prison and everyone else’s as well, that she was doomed from the start since she was born, that fate was not kind to her and it all culminated in her taking it out on everyone that was imprisoned with her, that if she was suffering so does everyone else get to be as well, this is not to say that it was fair for any of the people of Barovia for her to lash out to but it is atleast somewhat understandable where she’s coming from, she did have a heart and still does in some ways, she still loved her brother but she was far too gone, she was binded to the Blood Queen, from powers beyond her comprehension and by then she couldn’t turn back and even though
It’s so sad to see the human parts of Strahdanya, the way she was so worried about the wedding with Victoria going well, being nervous and genuinely happy when she thought she returned her love back and how she felt so betrayed when Victoria tried to break her necklace and the pitiful way she died, Sergei still loved her, still remembered the sister that he used to have and loved so much and he was able to finally see her be put to rest and stop the monster she had become, I love Strahdanya, she felt like a powerful force to be feared but also a complicated character who was dealt a cruel hand in her life, and sadly there is nothing the expedition could of done apart from ending her reign of terror
The Blood Queen
I’m not gonna lie, there wasn’t much of her apart from her being what we were dealing with and that her power was beyond our understanding and that if she wasn’t stopped she would of brought ruined to the world of Avantris, the part where she showed the party their traumas so that the others could see was pretty cool but Apart from that I don’t have much to say about her Lmao
Icebound: The princess of Wrath
A brutal force to be reckoned with, she is literally in a warpath to take over the world by force so that she can be in control of it, so that nothing can be against her and that’s the central theme with her, she never had control of her life, she was always at the whims of others or her circumstances, when she was a human she had no control of her life whatsoever, she wanted to be with Kostchtchie, the man who saved her life, trying to help him at first and then trying to keep him at bay, to reign him back but even that she couldn’t even do, he always thought that Sigdis ruined his life and she felt that she needed to be with him, she was indebted to him, she loved him in some way and stood by his side, even when things were turning for the worst, she still tried to be there for him dutifully and when she was at the hag hut and watched Kostan die in front of her, even though she feared for her life around him, that this was maybe an opportunity to be free from him, she still wanted for him to come back, not only for her but for her people who needed him for them to be able to survive, because she knew that without him, without his power, they would lose the war and in the end they did, she was to be executed with the rest of her people and with that rage she was transformed and reborned anew, no longer a human but a dragon now, filled with resentment and wrath
She took over, killed the dragonborn who destroyed her tribe and made a nation of her own, reigning above others by fear and subjugation, no longer was she the one being pushed around but she was the one who would become their ruler and she did so, she killed, she tortured and conquered, she was ruthless and so was she to the party, the first time they even met she shows them that the weak must be left behind and the strong will survive, that the only language that will be universally understood by anyone is power but there was always something above her that she couldn’t get away with, she still was granted those powers by someone else and she still was tied to her husband, to the person who now the strange love she used to feel for him turned to hate, to rage, something that was constantly in the back of her mind and she could never escape from, she wanted to be free but there never seems to a chance for her to gain that freedom, now in the latest episode she managed to somewhat cut the ties of her and the hag but even after what she did, all that she sacrificed, all that she took from others for her own gain, she is still bound to her husband and now she’s trying to kill him with all his power but even then she can’t, Kostchtchie is unable to die and at some point that will be the culmination point, for now, it seems that she can never truly win
In some part, maybe there was an opportunity for the party to ally with her, she is ruthless, she is cruel, she has done some terrible stuff to her people, taking their guardian spirits from them, killing anyone that defy her and even transforming one of the wives of one of the chiefs into a herald of fear but in the end all she ever really wanted was her freedom, to be able to not be bound by anything and with the power she had she may have been a useful ally as well, but they’re beyond that point now, they have broken her trust and so has she, there is no turning back for either of them and now is a battle for survival, like it always has been in Drakhar
The old hag (this is just Baba Yaga like it 100% is)
I will say I know that Baba Yaga appears in another campaign but I have no clue what is going on with her, here tho she is the one that killed Kostan and doomed Sigdis tribe and then becoming a dragon and such, she right now is the one who brought him back to fight against POW since she thought she could break her deal with her, I’m kind of rooting for her? but who knows what’s gonna happen with her now, she is very intimidating tho and Jornir almost making a deal with her made me so nervous
Beneath Dark Wings: Virgil Zurn
I don’t know if I could categorize Zurn as an antagonist even after all that happened, he was at the start an ally, someone who the group could somewhat rely on since they needed someone with higher power to be on their side, so that they could help the people of Coravachia against the beast plague, they saved his life and he helped them in return making them the Wings of the raven, people who he could trust and rely on so that they could help the different continents of Stryga but from the start Zurn had been pulling the strings of his own plan, the beast plague, Milo being kidnapped and being brought to Ravenovia and the Carrion King, he probably knew what Pazuzu had been doing by going to the different continents stirring shit up, all of those things culminating into finally being able to seal the Chained God once again
Zurn doesn’t sees his actions in any morality, they are just a means to an end, for the greater good, he needs to do all these things so that he can save everyone, after all the lives of the few are a worthy sacrifice for the lives of the many and even he doesn’t see himself as any more than a tool for the Raven Queen so that he can save his people and all of Avantris as a whole, he was willing to take Milo’s place and kill himself so that the Chained God would not be a problem atleast for the many years to come but in the end he was unable to do so thanks to the P-man and was transformed into a demon
What fascinates me about him is the fact that even thought Pazuzu said that Zurn lost his humanity a long time ago, he still shows how human he is, he still loves music and appreciates whenever Caprice performed for him, he still worries for his people in Zentra and tries to keep order in there, he still can feel fear and worry for the things that happened around him, he still gives it’s all in battle to protect his people when he got severely wounded when he was fighting Molarch, he wanted to give Caprice another way to be able to be free from the fiendish demon that had him under his control because he knows very well how it feels, asking him even that if he was “still in control of his thoughts” because Zurn always thought that he was 10 steps ahead of Pazuzu and maybe he could help Caprice as well to do the same, he atleast had some sentimental thought for Milo if he even thought to take his place, to set Milo free and for Felix to be with his brother even if he was not there to see it and we see how human he is even when he smiled and laughed when he was with Beatrice, when he spend his time with her, even if it was a means to an end he still felt joy and to this day seems to still think about her
He did horrible things as well and his actions killed a lot of people as well, but he was so resigned to his fate and probably thought his usefulness would be all worth it if he saved everyone but then Pazuzu happend and now he is Raum, thought this is the BDW section so maybe I’ll talk about him another time
Pazuzu (P-man)
That fucking bird that I hate, I do love Pazuzu in the way that I wish him nothing but the worst, he’s a cunning, cruel demon who feasted and manipulated those who he saw fit for his goals and be able to bring the apocalypse to Avantris, he manipulated Zurn for his own gain to be able to eat the Chained God, (though it didn’t go as planned) he was the cause for Asmodeus to be in the nine hells in the first place, he almost made one of the wind dukes to fall and probably become a devil as well, he manipulated many of the antagonistic forces through the story so that they may bring ruin (or order in some cases) and to further his plans and now he brought the eclipse and bringed the end of the world, honestly he’s a really good and scary villain, he plans for whatever he needs and kill whatever he needs to, he doesn’t confront the group head on until much later and always sow seeds of doubt, of power that they could use at a price, it worked on Escher and it worked for others as well, he knows people will seek greater power at their most desperate and will always be there to help for a price, you only have to say his name thrice
He also made the group kill people they cared about so I need him fucking gone, I still haven’t forgotten about that
For the other campaigns I watched I would have to rewatch them to get a better idea for their things going on, it’s been a while since I watched Ouaw and I have forgotten a few things and as for EOM, I don’t know enough of Mother midnight to know what her deal is apart from wanting to cause chaos for Druskenvald and bring Mother Night back
Anyways this are the rambling of a madman, I just thought about them about them a lot

Thinking about the Raven Queen in Legends of Avantris.
Mostly what her current relationship with Virgil might be…
Wonder if they’re still working together… Wonder how many strings she’s pulling behind the curtains. I wonder if Virgil ever stopped being one of her pieces on the chessboard after BDW. I wonder if he knows. He probably does. Makes me question if he’s okay with it, or if she just knows him so well that it doesn’t matter what he thinks, she’s going to be able to plan around him.
Fate works in strange ways.

ALTnovember blessed me and broke me in so many ways. and i will be forever grateful. ༄˖°.🍂.ೃ࿔*:･
[[MORE]]🧸the entire month was about movement. from granada to seville to bordeaux to paris to montreux to ringgenberg to milan to venice to florence to rome and then back to singapore before finally coming home.
🧸i saw so many places, almost cried in some of them, and that’s something i will always, always be thankful for. my photos and videos will never do justice to how beautiful everything are but they’re more than enough to remind me that i once lived in moments when all i could do was say ‘wow!’
🧸my brother was the mvp of the trip. hands down. he planned and booked everything. ambag ko lang were making sure my parents are okay and no one’s arguing, my brother is fed and rested, my parents do not go missing, cook the meals whenever we opted to eat sa accomm, ask people around kapag may need itanong, tagabuhat na rin ng maleta. 'yung ambag kong pera, iilan lang din 'yun sa total ng buong gastos for this trip. and i know he’s happy that we were able to bring our parents to europe. in a way, this healed some of my childhood wounds.
🧸during the whole trip, wala atang araw na bumaba sa 10K steps kami. lalo na me and my brother who would take a 20 minute walk over riding a train to the next station. i kinda wish i took more UTOs kasi i would have loved exploring the cities late at night but it wasn’t a wise financial decision. so i’m still lucky and blessed i get to explore in the mornings.
🧸i can’t even talk about the highlights of each country kasi sobrang overwhelmed ako????? di ko pa nga naiisa isa photos ko to declutter. and honestly, i might keep them privy to my journal and just kwento to people in person if they ask about our trip.
🧸i had way too many cured meat, cheese, and wine on this trip!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sobrang mura, eh. i’m such a happy giggly wine drunk gworl EXCEPT that november 25 when i kept going to the bathroom to CRY! while being wine drunk!!! a main character moment for real!!!
🧸i welcomed my birthday in rome! we were supposed to go to the trevi fountain at 11 pm nung november 23 but we spent the whole day touring the colosseum. almost skipped the trevi fountain plans kasi pagod na pagod na kami ni kuya but around 7 pm, kinaya naman ng energy namin lumabas ulit. so we went at around 8 and i made my wish!!!! after that sleep and pahinga na. and then i turned 30. :’)
🧸i was working on my birthday and it’s so funny how the world gave me one big painful slap on the face thru an ig suggested profile. on my actual birthday. HAHAHA i crashed out. so hard. my hands were also shaking and all i wanted to do was call it a day. but i had work. and as always, the world won’t stop even if you’re falling apart. again. and again. and again. therapy did not prepare me for this but at least i was able to self-regulate enough to survive the day. and the next few days.
🧸the world reminded me how loved i am and how it’s perfectly okay to lean on friends when you need the extra strength. :’)
🧸i lost my appetite came november 25. i didn’t want to eat anything but i knew i had to eat something. especially when we flew home on the 26th. it’s probably the heartbreak i was nursing but i felt exhausted all throughout our travel. there was no excitement like what i felt a month ago. but it’s okay. and when we got home, i just….. shut down. it was under the guise of rest but i know it was me shutting down. it took me 5 days before i was able to eat a proper meal. i’m still not back with my daily walks. i haven’t touched my pilates board. i’m just functioning because i have work at night. so yes, i ended november in unfamiliar territory of lows. but it’s okay. i’m okay now.
november, thank you. december, we started it rough but i can feel it, things are about to get so good.

Hi guys, if any of you like dungeons and dragons, I cannot say enough Edge of Midnight has a vampire knight character named Marius Renathyr who is SO much like if v!Pyro, v!Abolish, v!Owen and v!Legs were fused together. Extremely devout, forcefully turned against his will, trying so hard to do good and stay good and be useful to those around him to the point of keeping a vow he had made to his king a century earlier, soldier background, becomes manipulated and turned into a tool and a weapon by the being who turned him into a vampire against his will and turned him against everyone he knows even the ones trying to show him gentleness, etc etc. The 7 sins that represents him is wrath, he has no mercy for vampire or human if they are evil they are evil, shows extreme kindness and a desire to redeem and save others to the point of losing all faith in his own god for himself yet still says prayers to gods he doesnt believe in for the fallen, if they are good they are good. He is working with a group in a sort of pseudo organization of monster or witch hunters. People keep victim blaming him, the person he fell in love with after over 120 years of lonliness keeps temporarily dying, etc etc etc.
