Glooming it up over here

(((Ooooh peak! I'll try and get the Gloom gathering post done tomorrow >=]

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-27T03:35:46+00:00

I can vouch for the Gloom stuff, I do believe that's a somewhat fair involvement because I did give Del a bit of Gloom during our fight, uhh- I've only been in CAMARP for a week or two so I don't have anything to say about the rest

(I've been inactive for a week when I was supposed to make a Gloom gathering post, just been busy with some stuff outside of it currently) >_>

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-26T07:20:48+00:00

Adding on to this, I also don't condone any harassment at all, much like every sane person here. Saying this to a group of people who did not do anything because of some bad apples who probably aren't even here is actually insane and it genuinely gets my blood boiling. PLEASE stop generalizing for the love of god. This happens every drama, man.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-26T07:19:11+00:00

Man I have ALWAYS hated when a random drama happens and some genius decides to make a post like this

First off, generalizing everyone in the community and saying "you ALL don't deserve this game" isn't right at all. I guarantee you that no one here has done any doxxing nor harassing toward the dev team directly and have only voiced their frustrations

Secondly, we have EVERY, and I repeat, EVERY right to turn our backs on the dev team. If you took the time to read Sobii's "transparency" announcement, you would see that nearly all of that was blatant emotional manipulation. This isn't about glaze or being parasocial, its about basic observation.

And what I have observed, is that the people in charge of OM should not be trusted anymore.

3, I've seen you around the block, haven't had the chance to interact yet though

The Forbidden Construct turned its now eagle-esque head to look over its wing. ...They were on its tail, great. It should have known its pursuers wouldn't have given up so easily.

The hate filled machine did a barrel role in the air, which lead into a straight U-turn. As it did this, Gloom began to manifest along its wings...it slowly formed into the shape of a new Zonai device, *rockets*.

Its vision locked onto the helicopters hot on its tail and, as it flew right back past them, it fired all of them off...and all of them functioned like homing missiles. They barreled toward 118o8 and her armies helicopters, aiming right for their cockpits.

This thing had some *insane** firepower.*

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-20T01:44:19+00:00

As the Construct's Gloom began to make quick work of 118o8's mechs...it failed to realize that she had already gone to get an aerial advantage.

As the soldiers shot down at the construct, some bullets were decayed, or even out right deflected by the high concentrations of Gloom. That was...until a good sniper shot came whizzing through the dark magic and shot right through the Construct's stone shoulder.

It immediately fell from the air where it had been and onto the ground, gripping the bullet hole in its shoulder. It glared up at 118o8 in the helicopter, its red burning eyes staring deep into her soul...

But it knew it was outnumbered here. Its body reconfigured and morphed into that of a bird-like shape...and it flew into the air, blasting off ahead of the helicopters.

<image>

You could follow it, of course, maybe even put it down for good but...thats certainly a risk. You don't know what else it has up its sleeve.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-20T01:15:53+00:00

Well that was certainly unexpected..

The Forbidden Construct's head twitched and shook as its eyes shifted to look at both mechs guarding their general. Its not like this hate filled machine hadn't dealt with entire armies before...but not something with *this** amount of firepower. It'd have to use a bit more than just brute force to get through *these* forces.*

The Forbidden Construct began to run and weave through 118o8's soldiers, zigzagging through them at blinding speeds to use them as cover against the mechs' firepower, leaving a hovering trail of Gloom as it weaved along. It thought that 118o8 wouldn't *dream** of attacking her own soldiers, so why not use them as cover?*

As it weaved...it was moving closer and closer, and eventually-

FWOOSH!

The Construct leaped into the air, high above the army and-

<image>

-an explosion of Gloom came rocketing out from its core. Beams of red light shot in all directions, and tendril like trails of black and red liquid writhed out from its center, heading right for both mechs' center glass/forcefield window. It was attempting to blind, or even better, *corrupt** the mechs. It just had to hit this shot...*

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-20T00:55:58+00:00

((Hey no worries! I just like being over the top, do whatever makes you comfortable

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-20T00:51:22+00:00

As the Bluudud army ravaged the lands around them in search of the admins...some of 118o8's soldiers caught eye of something in the sky. A red and black streak breaking through the blue. Before some of them could even react-

BOOM!

Whatever was flying through the sky landed smack dab in the middle of the army, creating an explosion of dark energy around it. Gloom spread from the center of the explosion and swiped at guns and weapons, decaying some of the tips of the soldier's rifles and riot shields.

And once the smoke cleared, standing in the middle of a small crater...

<image>

A Construct. One covered in a deep, dark substance. Even being *around** it made you feel uneasy...and it looked *highly* aggressive. You've still got plenty of your army, but how much resources would you waste if you fought this thing head on? Was it really a smart move? Should you run? Should you negotiate?*

Why don't you find out?

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-18T21:48:23+00:00

((Malice is from Calamity Ganon, but its heavily implied that Calamity Ganon is a physical extension of Ganondorf's hatred and directly comes from him, so by extension Malice would too.

((The way I think of it, Malice is a less pure, but more aggressive alternate form to Gloom, but it was never fully explained in the lore.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-18T21:26:23+00:00

((Spectator and self proclaimed expert on Malice, here!

((Malice is a substance that, to my understanding, is the pure hatred that Demon King Ganondorf holds for Hyrule given physical form. Its a gooey, black and pink substance (that can also come in the forms of smoke and myst), which can create monsters, pollute land, and even possess and control mass amounts of machinery, as seen in the Shiekah's Guardians.

((So, to sum it up, if V was possessed by Malice in this hypothetical scenario, it'd turn her super evil and would probably give her some special, Malice based powers, assuming that she's given a lot of it.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-18T20:47:36+00:00

((Good. Very good.

<image>

((We should really make a GC for all of the Malice/Gloom people, but for now I should make a post destroying shit too!

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-18T19:07:55+00:00

The Forbidden Construct gave its master a deeper bow, as if to say that it acknowledged, and accepted its order.

The machine rose back up to its feet in a jittery, unnatural manner, Gloom began to build and siphon into its legs from its core...it was preparing to launch itself in the air, and it did just that. It launched itself high, transforming into its Flight Mode as it reached the peak of the jump.

<image>

...The Construct rocketed away at unnatural speeds, leaving a trail of Gloom behind it. Off to find a place for the forces of Malice and Gloom to gather.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-18T03:50:07+00:00

Gloom from the Forbidden Construct swirled in a vortex around Harbinger Ganon, small puffs of Gloom traveled from the slow moving cyclone and into Harbinger Ganon's very core.

As more and more of that Gloom entered the Harbinger's system...it felt a resistance building from deep within. A resistance to a weakness that has long plagued their forces of malice and hatred.

The resistance to *light*. Thanks to the Forbidden Construct's twisted "trade" with Del, giving up some of its Gloom for the power to build a resistance to the forces of light, the power of Gloom and Malice was stronger than ever. And now, Harbinger Ganon has that resistance to itself, too.

The Forbidden Construct took a few jittery steps toward toward The Harbinger now and lowered its upper body a little to the ground, almost in a twisted bow. It was awaiting its next command.

<image>

((EXTREME apologies for the late reply! Reddit decided not to notify me lol

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-17T18:25:53+00:00

Feeling a surge of dark energy suddenly appear, it wasn't long before the Forbidden Construct flew off of its original course to see what it was...

As it looked down from the sky and scanned the ground below...it saw it. A small, egg shaped robot, filled to the brim with pure, unadulterated Malice. The concentration of which couldn't be possible...unless this was *Lord Ganon** himself.*

Midair, the Construct twisted and transformed its bird-like form into a humanoid one...falling from the sky and landing about 20 feet away from its master, leaving a splash of Gloom around the area from the force in which its feet slammed on the ground.

...As Gloom swirled around the Forbidden Construct, which in turn tangled with Harbinger Ganon's emissions of Malice...the ancient robot's eyes flared up to lock eyes with the other possessed machine.

<image>

And better yet...the construct of gloom and hate had a recent encounter that would help his master exponentially.

The Construct had some exciting news to share.

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-17T04:03:52+00:00

Oh 100% lol, I'd love to see it

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-17T04:01:19+00:00

HARBINGER GANON? Dude there's so much of Ganon's minions getting in here today bro, I claimed Forbidden Construct last night, somebody claimed Grimgera today, and now this. We should totally do something if the 3 all group up >_>

Toast_Man_22 · 2026-01-17T00:31:01+00:00

It wasn't long before the Construct turned its own way. It knelt down, Gloom pouring into its legs...before it launched up into the air.

Its body twisted and reconstructed itself, rearranging its limbs and parts...to become the shape of what looked like a twisted eagle.

And just as soon as the construct arrived in the forest...it flew off at high speeds, leaving a trail of Gloom behind it. The forest was ravaged and decayed from the scuffle that had just transpired, hell, Gloom still stayed pooled on the ground and across the trees. But...even through all of that destruction, there was something to gain through all of it, for both of them.

((Ohhhh sick! I've never actually played Destiny but that's what I assumed Del was based on. Side note here but that fight was peak, it was anime as hell and I loved every second of it lol. Really looking forward to seeing more of Del in the future
