A blog in which I occasionally interact with others and sample what this site has to offer. Neurotically apathetic and yet individualistic. Socially maladjusted writer. World-building enjoyer. Character interaction enthusiast. Dealer, analyzer, and synthesizer of information and content. Insane to a degree of certain concern. Proud practitioner of "non-consensual creator-consumer role-play". Self-described as an "ace in the hole". Fueled by spite.
My bio tells you everything already and you can call me Narky.
Yes, I am currently into [insert fandom, object, work, argument, etc., here] and will snort it’s powdered snow as I see fit to.
No, this is not a [insert fandom, object, work, argument, etc., here]-centric blog nor will it ever be, as you can see from my disjointed posts, inconsistent archive and scattered followings.
And yes, it is always like this.
Welcome to ground zero, motherfuckers.
(Tagging system below the cut.)
My somewhat reliable tagging system (work in progress):
#narky thinks - My own posts
#narky speaks - My responses to asks and submissions (submissions tagged separately)
#narky is ____ - Bullshit, it doesn’t matter. Any duplication is purely coincidental
#narky spies something a bit out there - The posts I make or reblog that might not be for everyone. Use this to filter for uncomfortable stuff.
#reblog - Exactly what it means (I need to get better at that)
#[any fandom, object, or anything of the sort] - most reliable if you want to look for posts with specific mentions of specific content in them (i.e. #genshin impact, #scp, #jin yong, and so forth).
#[series] - I don’t usually make things, but when I do, I tag them under a ridiculous and out of pocket title. The more obnoxious and audacious it sounds, the more likely that that is the one you’re going to block for the foreseeable future. Mostly for sorting. Actual series down below this section (eternally under construction).
#[anon] - How to keep up with yourself if you’re an anon. Chances are, I’ve named you after something in the sentences you sent and the words we exchanged, but I can totally change it if you want.
#[mutual] - Virtually non-existent. I’ll try revamping it, but the posts I’ve made and collected . . . over 1,000 of em . . . I make no promises.

The Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (C4SE) as of 07/08/2026 - 08/07/2026 (Convergence)
The multishipper's comprehensive guide to the current state of the Campaign 4 pairings stock market, as presented by the Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (thanks to @canonical-transformation for the inspiration).
Due to the attention cast upon all of the tables in Episode 31, all ships will be covered as well as new ships and categories introduced.
While these ships will be sorted by table as they are mostly separate, due to the nature of convergence in this arc, inter-table ships will be given their own separate post in this exchange. You can find this post here.
Due to the way that the tables have also shuffled out and diverged, this will also be a part of the housecleaning update as we sell off a good majority of the former tables' pairings and ships between PCs and some NPCs. The new tables and the respective ships and pairings will be formatted and accounted for in the next update.
Explanations for the colors and symbols for the system can be found here.
There will be spoilers for the most recent episode (Episode 31) under the cut!
Brief Statement to all Buyers & Shareholders
You can find this statement here. For any newcomers, it is highly recommended that you read it.
Fear and Hope Index
An overview and explanation of the Fear and Hope Index can be found here.
In this poll, the exchange specifically polled for the Index as it pertained to all ships in the exchange, and buyers predicted the reading to be one of: Hope (44.1%)
Soldiers Table
Player Characters
Slash Pairings -
Tyranny/Wicander Halovar — HOLD. A lot of this episode had them acting independently of each other, only to come back around and reinforce the dynamic. However, things could get a little more interesting, so it's safer to hold.
Ampersand Pairings -
"The Soldiers" — HOLD.
Kattigan Vale & Thimble — HOLD.
Kattigan Vale & Tyranny — SELL.
Kattigan Vale & Wicander Halovar — SELL.
Kattigan Vale & Wulfric* — HOLD.
Thimble & Tyranny — SELL.
Thimble & Wicander Halovar — SELL.
Tyranny & Wicander Halovar — BUY OR HOLD. Same as the slash variant, but not strictly in a romantic sense.
Note: The asterisk (*) indicates that the Dungeon Master has a vested interest in shorting this stock. Make your purchases with this information accordingly.
Player Characters & NPCs
Slash Pairings -
Armas Drugada/Wicander Halovar — HOLD.
Thimble/Thjazi Fang — HOLD. This pairing has something going for it, but this can shift at any time.
Ampersand Pairings -
NEW! Primus Tachonis & Wicander Halovar — BUY OR HOLD. Wick is in, but at what cost?
Iris Halovar & Wicander Halovar — HOLD.
Lioran Halovar & Wicander Halovar — HOLD.
Wicander Halovar & Zebani Halovar — HOLD.
Wicander Halovar & Yanessa Halovar — HOLD.
Character & Story Elements
The Soldiers & Their Plan — HOLD.
Kattigan Vale & His Past — BUY OR HOLD. It came back full circle for him this episode, and now he has to do something about it. Laying his comrade to rest cemented that.
Kattigan Vale & The Future — HOLD. He's going out, but it will have to be seen as to what he does.
Thimble & Faeries — BUY BUY BUY. She has a safe place near the lake, she gets to shift between sizes, and she's near-indestructible. This is a fantastic development.
Thimble & Revenge — BUY BUY BUY. She took another pawn from the Tachonis, and that's considered enough for this element. Buy in.
Tyranny & Her Family — BUY. From now on (or in the current moment), she's going to be in much closer proximity to her sisters and perhaps her father as well. Buy in now.
Tyranny & Her Nature — BUY. Lock your buys in now, because she knows exactly what she is and she's completely at peace with it.
Wicander Halovar & His Faith — BUY OR HOLD. It has been successfully shaken, and thoroughly. Buy in or hold out.
Wicander Halovar & House Halovar — HOLD.
Seekers Table
Player Characters
Slash Pairings -
Julien Davinos/Occtis Tachonis — BUY. They need to genuinely sit down and discuss whatever's going on between them, but there's no way that's happening. Regardless of that, buy in anyway.
Julien Davinos/Thaisha Lloy — SELL.
Julien Davinos/Vaelus — HOLD.
Occtis Tachonis/Vaelus — HOLD.
Thaisha Lloy/Vaelus — SELL.
Ampersand Pairings -
"The Seekers" — HOLD.
Hala & Thaisha Lloy — HOLD.
Julien Davinos & Occtis Tachonis — BUY. Same as the slash variant.
Julien Davinos & Thaisha Lloy — SELL.
Julien Davinos & Vaelus — HOLD.
Occtis Tachonis & Pincushion* — HOLD.
Occtis Tachonis & Thaisha Lloy — SELL.
Occtis Tachonis & Vaelus — HOLD.
Pincushion & Vaelus* — HOLD.
Thaisha Lloy & Vaelus — SELL.
Note: The asterisk (*) indicates that the Dungeon Master has a vested interest in shorting this stock. Make your purchases with this information accordingly.
Player Characters & NPCs
Slash Pairings -
Hannan/Vaelus — SELL. See memo.
Ingrid Einfasen/Julien Davinos — HOLD.
Ampersand Pairings -
NEW! Julien Davinos & Thjazi Fang — BUY. They literally can't be separated at all. Buy in.
Alba Davinos & Julien Davinos — BUY. He got out, got the crystal, and is now heading towards her location. Good investment to make.
Amadah & Thaisha Lloy — HOLD.
Gaya Seremai & Occtis Tachonis — HOLD.
Hannan & Thaisha Lloy — SELL.
Hannan & Vaelus — SELL.
Ingrid Einfasen & Julien Davinos — HOLD.
Ingrid Einfasen & Thaisha Lloy — HOLD.
Julien Davinos & Maya Davinos — HOLD.
Character & Story Elements
The Seekers & What They Seek — HOLD.
Julien Davinos & Duty — BUY. Considering the development of the plot, he's been quite consistent with this so far. We'll see what happens next.
Julien Davinos & Revenge — BUY OR HOLD. He is, in fact, capable of restraint in certain situations. This is a good thing, as it makes this element safer to invest in in the long run.
Occtis Tachonis & House Tachonis — BUY BUY BUY. He is absolutely terrified of his father. Buy in now.
Occtis Tachonis & Un-Life — HOLD.
Thaisha Lloy & The Circle of Ancients — BUY OR HOLD. She is going to have to explain so much to these people, it may actually break them.
Thaisha Lloy & The Old Path — BUY BUY BUY. Beautiful work, excellent work. Maybe the Old Path will be less scary if it was a colorful affair and there were guides.
Vaelus & Mourning — HOLD.
Vaelus & Sylandri — HOLD.
Schemers Table
Player Characters
Slash Pairings -
Azune Nayar/Bolaire Lathalia — SELL.
Azune Nayar/Murray Mag'nesson — BUY OR HOLD. Surprisingly, there is a kick to this ship that still keeps it going. Buy or hold.
Bolaire Lathalia/Halandil Fang — SELL.
Ampersand Pairings -
"The Schemers" — HOLD.
Azune Nayar & Bolaire Lathalia — SELL.
Azune Nayar & Halandil Fang — HOLD.
Azune Nayar & Murray Mag'nesson — BUY. They keep each other steady, and this episode was an excellent reinforcement.
Bolaire Lathalia & Halandil Fang — SELL.
Bolaire Lathalia & Murray Mag'nesson — SELL.
Halandil Fang & Murray Mag'nesson — HOLD.
Player Characters & NPCs
Slash Pairings -
Augustus Valian/Azune Nayar — SELL.
Ampersand Pairings -
NEW! Azune Nayar & Otto Einfasen — BUY OR HOLD. He's in now, and this is a good thing for sowing discord amongst the Sundered Houses.
Augustus Valian & Murray Mag'nesson — SELL.
Azune Nayar & Harondus Einfasen — BUY BUY BUY. They may make him an honorary Einfasen after this blows over. Despite the fact that his political machinations are in a spin, he still sees Azune in some sort of favor.
Bolaire Lathalia & Termina — SELL. It is worth noting that Termina could actively try to chase him down, but we have no idea of knowing if this will happen until we see it for ourselves.
Bolaire Lathalia & Hero D'vyen — SELL.
Bolaire Lathalia & Makmaz Gelfidar — SELL.
Bolaire Lathalia & Thjazi Fang — BUY. Shame how his biggest tormentor is still kicking around in some guy's shadow and no one cares. Buy in, for fuck's sake.
The Schemers & Their Schemes — BUY OR HOLD. Two new people, and arguably ideal people, have now been thrown into the mix. This could go places.
Azune Nayar & Remembering — BUY BUY BUY. The Einfasens consider him a vital piece on the chess board. All according to plan.
Azune Nayar & The Torn Banner — HOLD.
Bolaire Lathalia & Honesty — BUY BUY BUY. In this episode, when it came down to it, he has not told a single lie about himself or how he feels. At all. Invest.
Bolaire Lathalia & Living — HOLD.
Halandil Fang & His Family — BUY OR HOLD. He hasn't been arrested (yet), but trust, this will impact his family somehow down the line.
Halandil Fang & The Hallowed Round — BUY BUY BUY. They will be talking about him for as long as Dol-Makjar stands.
Murray Mag'nesson & Playing The Game — HOLD. Murray, you need to get it together when getting it all hashed out for the folks that might be able to do something about it.
Murray Mag'nesson & The Penteveral — HOLD.
(If there are any other ships or elements that buyers and participants think should be in this exchange, please do not hesitate to let them know via reblogs or asks.)
Here at the C4SE, we pride ourselves in being able to deliver clear and easy information to our buyers so that they can easily understand the movements of the markets.
While it has been rough in some cases as we were figuring things out, we've always aimed to do right by the people who rely on us as a service, and we've done so with every change and announcement.
However, in this particular case, we found it fitting to consult out clients and customers on this matter of the rather curious case surrounding one Thjazi Fang.
Given the many scenarios, situations, feelings, and narrative events that have taken place, there is the issue of what he could be classified as, especially after this first major arc of Campaign 4. He's been treated as a plot device, as a person, as a catalyst, and a myriad of other things, so much so that we don't know how to classify him anymore.
And with this new canonical reveal of him being in a PC's shadow as well as how death and souls are treated in the world, we don't know whether or not to treat his status as present (alive and with a group) or as not present (properly deceased, treated as a device).
If we were to put him in the former, ships and pairings would be limited to the group he was with, but if we were to put him in the latter, he wouldn't have any ships or pairings at all, which would make sense objectively, but seems wrong in practice.
Or, maybe, he could have his own distinct status that can be denoted by something else given his overwhelming influence on the story as a whole and the meaningful relationships (good, bad, or ugly) the other characters have with him.
So with that being said, if you would like to chime in with an opinion, please do so with the poll below:
Where does Thjazi Fang belong on the C4SE and how would he be classified?
Present (with a group, NPC, limited to that group)
Not present (properly deceased, no groups, treated as a device)
Distinct status (allows for the exemption of other classifications)
Other (please reply with a comment or in the reblogs)
(Inter-Table) The Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (C4SE) as of 07/08/2026 - 08/07/2026 (Convergence)
The multishipper's comprehensive guide to the current state of the Campaign 4 pairings stock market, as presented by the Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (thanks to @canonical-transformation for the inspiration).
This update will focus exclusively on inter-table ships and pairings. If you want to check out the other table-by-table ships, you can find that here.
Due to the way that some of the tables have settled out as of the end of the Convergence arc, however, you may see some of these ships and pairings again in a later update in the exchange.

Convergence
Player Characters
Slash Pairings -
Bolaire Lathalia/Kattigan Vale — HOLD.
Halandil Fang/Thaisha Lloy — BUY OR HOLD. As long as Thaisha's in that city, they can't touch him politically in any way that they want, so it's a crying shame that she's leaving.
Kattigan Vale/Murray Mag'nesson — HOLD.
Occtis Tachonis/Thimble — BUY. He went back into the house for her. Buy in.
Ampersand Pairings -
Azune Nayar & Thimble — HOLD.
Azune Nayar & Vaelus — BUY OR HOLD. There were a few nice moments between them, and some would wish that they had the opportunity to interact just a little bit more.
Bolaire Lathalia & Tyranny — BUY OR HOLD. This is a buy for the dynamic that they already have, but as Bolaire leaves the city proper, some would be inclined to hold.
Halandil Fang & Thaisha Lloy — BUY OR HOLD. Same as the slash variant.
Julien Davinos & Thimble — BUY OR HOLD. Buying in for the fact that one of the most important people in Thimble's life is currently residing in Julien's shadow.
Murray Mag'nesson & Occtis Tachonis — BUY OR HOLD. They seem to have hit a mutual understanding with each other.
Murray Mag'nesson & Wicander Halovar — HOLD.
Occtis Tachonis & Thimble — BUY BUY BUY. Diversification is good, especially with the fact that they'll be together for a little while longer.
Occtis Tachonis & Tyranny — HOLD.
Pincushion & Thimble* — HOLD.
Tyranny & Vaelus — HOLD.

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.
i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”
making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name
