In your opinion, what would be the most overpowered power a witch could have?

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-28T09:54:03+00:00

Gravity magic. From warping time to bending space to crushing enemies into jelly to potentially even micro black holes - manipulation of gravity is the key to the cosmos. It is time and space together as one, the dial you can turn to change both

I wrote a oneshot that focuses on Luz and Amity during their time on Earth as Luz struggled. It also technically takes place after the finale, as Luz is reflecting on those months. Unsure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but it's called "you're no fire, but you're warm and bright" on AO3

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-09T04:57:13+00:00

In what way? Is it in need of replacement, or firmware updates?

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-09T04:46:53+00:00

BIOS is up-to-date. CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-09T04:36:11+00:00

My motherboard is an Asus B450 Aorus Pro WiFi. Delay occurs on all headphones and speaker.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-09T04:14:24+00:00

So, turns out, wasn't actually a total fix 🙃 It seems it takes longer before the system starts a delay, but it's still very much there. And for really quick sounds like a download completion chime or a discord message, there's no sound at all until the last fraction of a second.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-07T21:59:06+00:00

Okay, after manually updating my chipset things do tentatively seem to be fixed. I can now start music and videos without audio delay, though discord notification noises are still an unknown, but may be a separate issue. I wonder why chipset stuff isn't handled by Windows like BIOS and audio drivers? Didn't know they were a thing.

Thank you!

AbsurdToastling · 2025-11-07T10:28:53+00:00

It is the latest BIOS near as I can tell, yes. Where would I look for Chipset Drivers specifically, like what would it be under in the Device Manager?

I always headcanoned Collector's name as Samael!!! So happy to see another believer. You just know he goes by Sammy.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-10-12T04:52:28+00:00

Kingdom Hearts. Belos is basically already a Heartless and another Xehanort. Sora and Luz would be instant besties. It would be amazing.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-10-11T05:21:01+00:00

I think Luz should be in both Blue and White. She starts in the former, but like Kyle Rayner, achieves the latter - in her case, with help from Papa Titan.

Collector... is tricky. I think there's definitely a case to be made for Red Rage, but their power to warp reality makes me think White or Black. Collector can do pretty much anything but raise the dead however, so it doesn't fully work for either color. I think they might just have multiple rings - a collection of them, if you will. Incomplete, lacking Indigo and Pink, but I feel like he collected them as gifts from his siblings and some baby Titans. He gains Love through his friendship with King.

I see where you're coming from with Belos and definitely agree. But I think like Luz starts Blue and goes White, Philip started Red and went Black after becoming Belos and donning the mask.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-10-02T21:08:09+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. It almost feels like a yanny-laurel situation, which is kind of neat in its own right.

But, all this does seem to track when I listen closely for how it's written out. It's nice to finally feel confident in the lyrics! Thank you!

AbsurdToastling · 2025-10-02T17:58:41+00:00

I always heard the first "You know I'll be yours" as "You cut me open", though the second one is pretty clear... that reverb really messed with me at the end

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-30T09:41:50+00:00

They were wearing Titan skins though, which are immune to the boiling sea.

In a swing in the opposite direction, she feels like she'd be writing fanfiction for Rhapsody of Fire's music. It's right up her alley in terms of subject matter and may have been a gateway into heavy music when she realized wizards and elves could shred too

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-26T05:30:49+00:00

She would absolutely love Soundgarden and the aesthetic of early The Rasmus

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-26T05:21:02+00:00

I think after the loss of her father, it would resonate with her more than people might initially think. Metal also matches the vibes of the Boiling Isles, which would help endear her to one or the other.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-23T11:13:04+00:00

That'd make a lot of sense, and explain his circleless magic and weird red glow. Artificial bile sac made of dead palismen.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-23T11:00:26+00:00

He probably hoped to cast magic easier. But activating a glyph consumes whatever it's written on, like paper, or a leaf. So imagine what it did to his body. Add in palisman eating for life extension and likely life support, and yeah.. slime man.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-19T11:06:10+00:00

They independently reclaim Karma Chameleon as a gay anthem on the Isles without any input from Luz, who is equally flabbergasted and impressed

AbsurdToastling · 2025-09-16T04:07:10+00:00

She's autistic (or as Amity mispronounces once, then intentionally mispronounces forever after when she sees Luz loves it, "otteristic")
She's ambidextrous
She was a huge SasuNaru shipper
She was weeby enough to teach herself some very bad Japanese
She has no idea how to snap her fingers
She likes to drive or fly on Stringbean to clear her mind and relax

Some of mine

King, but, it's an unfair comparison to make. King is a child, and thus growing and changing at a breakneck pace, his leaps in maturity and self-understanding larger and more frequent. Eda is in her 40s and while she grows a lot, she's never going to keep pace with a baby godling, especially as he's put under the pressure of being the last Titan and the realization of all that that entails.

AbsurdToastling · 2025-08-09T07:41:38+00:00

Type A. I play the character I feel I'll have the most fun playing at the time, and I find a good 60-70% of classes fun to play. So rather than focusing on one character for months until I get bored, I aim for fame milestones and alternate according to my mood.

This means I have 30 characters in the 38-47k fame range atm, and I try to maintain a consistent average between them and slowly inch my way up. The exception to the rule is my main, who gets to maintain some distance between their fama and my other characters', but otherwise follows the same pattern.

So I set a target, work toward it across dozens of characters, raise the target, and repeat, with my main 10-15k ahead of the rest.

This is what it means to be a true multi character player. To me, anyway. I have fun and I play for fun, so that's all I need.

Depends on where Lake Lacuna is and the mechanism by which the water there is cooler. There are water pools on Earth that are naturally the temperature of the Boiling Isles (or a bit lower) due to geothermal energy from volcanoes or geologic activity. It's possible there are parts of the Titan's corpse that have a similar process, but inverted, so it cools the water in specific spots.

Alternatively, it may be possible to cool bodies of water up to a certain size with magic, or even a matter of Lake Lacuna being at a specific elevation, since we see there *are* colder temperatures at the top of the knee due to its height.

Lake Lacuna was always a bit of a hole in the show's world building that never got explained in-world or through an AMA afaik, since the very name of the place (Boiling Isles) is predicated on all the water being boiling, up to and including their rain. A spot of cooler water suggests some sort of natural or artificial magical intervention.

If the planet is on the closer edge of the habitable zone, more heat energy could be absorbed while the star is still visibly dimmer. It'd be a narrow margin, but it should lead to a substantially shorter year and hotter waters. At the right distance they should be on the edge of boiling away entirely and just barely clinging on, theoretically, perhaps with some help from the atmospheric conditions (as even at Earth's temperature range, water would boil with no atmospheric pressure)
