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.

There's been some rather intensive house-cleaning and reorganizing to make the C4SE more streamlined and easier to understand. So instead of it all being slapped onto every update, they can now be found in their own posts that break down the way that parts of the Exchange works.

C4SE Statement & Disclaimer
With this, we hope that this makes the C4SE experience that much better.
The Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (C4SE) - Statement & Disclaimer
It should be known to all of the participants and buyers in this exchange that as this campaign progresses, the markets will become increasingly volatile and may display unpredictable behavior due to influences such as: in-game events, certain NPCs, combat rounds, or any standard hazard that comes with a DnD game.
It is also worth saying that the unforgiving force and influence of Brennan Lee Mulligan and the actions of the players will have a significant impact on any and all ships in this exchange.
The recommendations that are expressed in the analysis of this exchange are neither concrete nor completely certain, so any buyer can trade however they want.
(In other words, this is literally just how I see it and you can ship whatever, this is just for fun.)
The Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (C4SE): Fear and Hope Index - How It Works
Overview
The Fear and Hope Index is a general measurement of how the Critters feel overall about the ships and pairings (romantic, platonic, etc.) within Campaign 4.
Depending on which arc or events are being focused on, the measurements will either be for a specific table, multiple tables, or all characters in the story as it stands in the overall narrative.
The Index is a poll measured for 24 hours on the day of the Monday upload of the most recent episode for those who didn't have the opportunity to watch it live.
Measurements
Unlike the actual Fear/Greed Index, instead of it being 0-100, it'll be by the option that gets the most votes, which will then be represented by: Extreme Fear (0-20), Fear (20-40), Neutral (40-60), Hope (60-80), and Extreme Hope (80-100).
The given measurements are how the Exchange helps to define the feelings the Critters may have about the ships they have:
Extreme Fear: The ship(s) are fucked and there's not much hope for recovery; includes feelings surrounding PC character deaths, specific player choices, and specific narratives.
Fear: The ship(s) are in pretty dicey territory and this puts them on the edge; includes some character interactions, some player choices and dialogue, personal theories, and some narratives.
Neutral: The ship(s) aren't good but they aren't bad either and they're just not really doing all that much; includes spacing between interactions, lulls in the narrative, and some combat-heavy episodes.
Hope: The ship(s) are doing pretty good and there's some potential there that can be acted on; includes some player choices and dialogue, personal theories, and some narratives.
Extreme Hope: The ship(s) are fantastic and there's a genuine chance of them happening; includes specific player choices, specific narratives, and personal investments.

The Campaign 4 Ship Exchange (C4SE): Fear and Hope Index (06-15-2026/15-06-2026)
This is a general measurement of how the Critters feel overall about the ships and pairings (romantic, platonic, etc.) within this specific campaign.
Given the divided focus of the most recent episode (29), this will be focused on all of the tables and all of those ships. Also, given the nature of convergence in this recent arc, ships between all tables will also be considered in this poll.
In summary, this is the measurement that follows this Index: Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Hope, Extreme Hope

This may be quite the stretch, but I don't think that Marienna was a Tachonis.
Many people say that this is the reason that she and her daughter were killed or disappeared as she broke the rules of being in that House. However, this happened eight years ago, and what also happened eight years ago? The doors to Faerie closed.
We know that Thjazi and House Tachonis (not in tandem) had something to do with it, but this doesn't make sense until we take into consideration that in Episode 9, Tyranny innocently asks Kattigan a question: "Have you killed a fairy?"
He immediately pivots to a different topic and it's never touched on again. What on earth does that have to do with Faerie at all? Well, this conversation was in Timmony and Kattiagn was working there beforehand, and he's quite familiar with some aspect of Timmonish customs, including their dealings with the fair folk. So why is this important? Because the fair folk are also closely tied to House Royce.
So what the hell am I trying to say? There's not a lot of evidence, and Robbie insists on playing some of his cards closer to his chest, but I think there's something there. Both House Tachonis and House Halovar seem to be hellbent on ensuring that the fair folk are wiped clean off the board whether it be by wholesale slaughtering a House or by weaving anti-Faerie sentiment into their holy tenets, and given how Primus moved to purge them, what's to say he didn't start earlier eight years ago?
One more thing, Aranessa has a regret of some kind, of wanting to go with Thjazi and support him, but she chose her House over him. Maybe the reason why this is so poignant with her is because she watched someone else in her family do it first. And what family is going to bring up that kind of shame?
Would the other Houses even have known about this other Royce? The Royce family seems to have largely kept to themselves, given that they were out of the loop when House Tachonis came knocking.
And one more thing, who made Wulferic's paw? What kind of magical machination is it? I don't think a ranger is capable of it, but perhaps he was taught by someone who knew a great deal about it and would happily do so.
All of these threads, Faerie, the doors, Royce, Timmony, magic, why Primus went after her, and the game the Sundered Houses are playing are loose and not yet rendered, but they are there.
In summary, I think Marienna Royce rolls off the tongue a bit better than Marienna Tachonis.
Friendly reminder that the other Houses don't know about the celestial locked up in the Villa Aurora's basement nor the Old Path becoming a conveyor belt for souls to power some Tachonis machine in the afterlife respectively.
