Potentialfate

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for posterity's sake, I can also be found on simblr.cc, pillowfort, as well as dreamwidth, though I don't use it currently. (and for my mutuals, my discord is potentialfate, just make sure you let me know who you are if you add me.)

I’m WCIF friendly, but I also have a lot of old stuff in my game, so I can’t guarantee anything. I should at least be able to give you names though! Please send them via ask though, otherwise I might miss them or forget!

I make TS2 CC exclusively (you will find no ts4 cc here.) and write semi-interesting soap opera style posts based vaguely around gameplay. (with a lot of artistic liberty.) That being said, my writing has some darker themes. I tag appropriately with “tw xxx” as the standard. (ie: “tw death”) please read at your own risk. I’m willing to add extra tw tags for regular readers/mutuals/etc if you send me a dm.

Due to Tumblr's new adverts on personal blogs, I feel like I should add a warning that I neither support whatever adverts are on my page, nor do I even know what they are. I highly recommend you too get an adblocker like ublock or adblock, or use a VPN that has an adblock included. (or all of the above)

(if you only want to see my posts, and no reblogs, all my posts are tagged "my posts" for more specifics, read on)

Current Story (Master Post)

Ten years ago, Arkhelios' "quiet" town was thrown into chaos when one of their beloved founders, Abraham Helios, was found murdered in the park one late night. With no real leads, and no laws as safety nets in place, the case went cold and the town hasn't been the same since. Salem Bellamy stepped up to take over in Abraham's wake, but the peace that followed is strained at best. With new complications on the rise, and the older generation fighting to establish a social hierarchy, the younger generation of residents struggle to find their place, and move on from their traumatic childhoods. But can one really move on, when what's dead and buried doesn't stay that way?

Note:

My custom content follows the same tagging system I use for cc finds, so it will also be mixed in with those tags if you’re looking for something specific. You can also find only my custom content via the “dl: xxx” tags (ie: “dl: hair”) or on my Simblr.CC.

TOU is basically just don’t say you made it yourself, feel free to do whatever you want with it though, just don’t put anything created with my shit behind a paywall… and idek a link/credit or an @ would be pretty chill. it’s not 100% necessary though.

I don’t really take requests, but feel free to make a suggestion. Just don’t be alarmed if I say I’m not interested.

Stories to Read list

Xanthos lives alone, with only strange-not quite correct creatures, far away from the religion in the mountains, and from the townspeople of Jacobston as well. 

People don't like being reminded of the past, and Xanthos' true form makes that impossible to avoid. 

It wasn't always like this, but now he has more to lose than just his own life. 

For the safety of his mate and their child, hiding who he is is a small price to pay. 

The Doan family have been around forever—err.. well. Hwa and Chinh have, at least. Kim is their niece, whom they took in when their brother left them, and she brought Alistair Creel and started her own family.

The two Doan siblings have been around long enough to know that they're all better off not getting anywhere near the cult in the mountains, but the youngest member of their colony doesn't seem to see the danger. 

Phuong is young and full of life despite her heritage, and neither of them can really blame her for wanting to live.

The Rennet family run the most popular restaurant in Jacobston--even some of the members Jubilant Accosts sneak out of their mountain community to eat Josh Rennet's delicious cheese inspired dishes. 

Though this is less surprising when someone knows Asima's ties within the True Jacobans. Though her husband and daughter don't understand, she longs to return to the old ways from back when she herself lived in the Valley. In Jacobston, her magick is wasted on petty requests and housework, rather than the important work of the Watcher.

The Lindgrens and the Jakobssons might have been gifted with more... offensive magick, the Pryor family are the True Jacoban's only family of healers in the Valley.

Damiana was blessed by the Watcher with light magick unparalleled by anyone else, and that alone is truly proof that she is one of the most pious members of Jubilant Accosts. 

Though her family recently went through some... turmoil, She's sure that with close council from the church that she and her husband Alphaeus have gotten past the worst of it.

On top of that, she's moved to a home right across from her brother and his own wife and family, and nothing is better than family in times of need. As long as everyone in her family follows the Watcher's plan, nothing terrible will befall any of them, of that she's certain. 

Deianara and Trysten Vienot used to be a happy couple—or at least they'd done a very good job of portraying one to everyone in the Valley.

In truth, their marriage has always been a facade—each of them with their own reasons for hiding behind it. 

Trysten believes his soulmate to be someone else—someone he can't have if he wants to continue being a part of the True Jacobans. But if the Watcher gave him a soulmate, surely that can't be wrong... 

Deia, on the other hand, has secrets she and her daughter, Xaviere, need kept if they're to remain safe. A marriage inside of the True Jacobans might be hiding in plain sight, but it's still hiding in the end. 

Recently though, the game they've been playing with everyone in town and with each other, has begun to fall apart. Now Deia knows her husband's secrets and she has to decide what to do with them.

Rinna Smorodina has a... complicated past and her family name has been besmirched. Though Watcher-given magick flows through her veins, her mother ruined their reputation before Rinna was even born. 

The Jakobsson family have lived in Jubilant Accosts longer than the Lindgrens, that's for sure.

Jakobina knows for a fact that Delicia Deering is a liar and an imposter, looking only to steal power from the Jakobsson family. She's managed to get out of most of her ex-stepmother's poorly formed plans for her, and she married Håvard in a bid to keep her place in the community safe from Delicia's awful family.

Jakobina's family has been through enough tragedy and sacrifice for the Watcher, and she won't have Delicia and her band of usurpers stealing all the benefits that the Jakobssons earned.

Though Jakobina will admit—only in the privacy of her own home—she isn't the biggest fan of the newest Proxy. Simon Klein is the only proxy in the history of...well, forever to doubt the legitimacy of her family's magick, its... physical manifestations, and how it obviously connects the Jakobssons to Jacob himself—on the paternal side of the family, of course.

The Lindgrens have lived in Yacothia—no, they're calling it Jubilant Accosts now—for longer than anyone, especially the Jakobssons, no matter what anyone says. In fact, their family descends matrilineally from Jacob himself. They have the magic to prove it, and it's even manifested physically in their most powerful family members. 

Delicia Deering wants only for her son to become the heir he's meant to be. Really it should have been his brother, but Guthini joined the Watcher instead, so she's stuck with Jakob as her heir. At least she's made him a good match with Lea. If nothing else, the two of them should be able to foster another generation of Lindgrens to make sure they keep their social power, and aren't unseated by the Jacobsson family. 

Transplants from outside the Valley, the Dean family aren't nearly as devoted to the Jacoban teachings as many others in the valley think they ought to be.

Despite that, they still managed to secure a place of being Chosen by the Watcher himself. Winifred and Ezra's oldest child, Gabriel was shown in a prophetic dream to the Proxy—he was meant to ascend.

Now, the Deans live in the House of Honour, right next to the Kleins. Worse than that, they brought their close family friend Andre with them, despite the fact that he doesn't have any real relation to their chosen son. Their argument that more hands equals less work doesn't hold up that well, when their two remaining children, Tiffany and Jason, are so well behaved.

In the hills of Jubilant Accosts, Simon Klein is the Proxy of the True Jacobans—the most honored position in their religion, and the only who who sees visions from the Watcher himself in their dreams. Everyone in the Valley turns to Simon for advice and when they're in need. 

His new wife Eleanore is a devoted member of the Jacoban faith, and is expecting their first child. Simon is, understandably very protective of her, as his two previous wives were called upon by the Watcher far too early in life.

Though recently, Eleanore has seemed a little unsure of the things the Watcher has asked of them, and Simon isn't thrilled by the questions she has had in the quiet hours of the evening. He fears her thoughts have been corrupted by the townspeople of Jakobston, or worse—Xexys himself. 

Jubilant Accosts

Long ago, this land was called Yacothia, and was held in high standards by the gods and by man. Now, Jubilant Accosts is less a town, and more a simple community nestled in the mountains outside of Jakobston. While the town itself was named after the old religion of the Jacobans—once prosperous in Yacothia, the religion itself has mostly simmered down in the modern age. While the citizens of Jakobston come from all walks of life now, the community nestled in the mountain valley are... different. Calling themselves the True Jacobans, they follow a strict set of rules set in place by the Watcher, and fear the wrath of their merciless god if those rules are broken. To keep things in check, they turn to their Proxy, a spiritual leader who has been known to get dreams from the Watcher himself. 

Their practices themselves are kept strictly secret, part in the agreement of their sacred orders, and part because the people of the Valley simply don't leave their community unless it's terribly necessary. Why would they, when they have all they need in their home, and outside the safety of the mountains lie demons, wolves and other creatures that were created by Xexys in order to bring them harm? 

No, it's much better to stay in the safety of the mountains, away from prying eyes and the less pious who's only goals are to further the evil plans of the the demon king of nightmares. Even if sometimes their god requires sacrifices to be made, it's better for everyone here in the valley. 

.... isn't it? 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Despite my very dramatic intro here, Jubilant Accosts will be mostly gameplay themed. Although likely with my usual flare for the dramatic.

Honestly speaking, I just really miss sharing gameplay, and since Arkhelios is so story based, I can't really share game play (right now) without spoilers hah. Not to worry though, for those of you who do read Arkhelios updates, that's definitely still going on. I just need to rework some things but I've got plans for that.

Anyway, onto the actual subject:

@jubilant-accosts is a collaboration hood (that you too can download and fuck around in!) that I helped work on with the others listed in the pinned post on that account, that we put out... hhahah.... uh. two years ago, and I'm just now getting around to playing extensively with myself. I will be playing it as a weird mix of modern and psuedo-fantasy/historical vibes (because why make things simple)

Despite the fact that I just said it will be more gameplay oriented in vibes, what I really mean is I don't have a plan for it, storyline wise.

I do want to put out there that it will likely have heavy themes nonetheless, just due to the nature of the hood. If you are uncomfortable with: religious topics, cult mentality, implied/referenced suicide, murder and/or human sacrifice (likely mostly implied/referenced), anti-queer rhetoric, and likely a heavy dose of misogyny, this probably isn't for you, and you can block the tag: "Jubilant Accosts" to not see the posts. The TL;DR of that is: it takes place largely in a corrupt religious cult. The triggers are everything having to do with that.
