yes I am back on this bullshit
watch this space for the meager scrapings of a dead fandom
fun tidbit I picked up relistening to House of Gears: Cabal learned (some) of his cursing from his paternal grandmother which is just
delightful
little baby cabal learning horrible invective on his grandmother's knee isn't something I knew I needed but I absolutely did
look at my horrible little man being fashionable with that jacket liner
in this house we love one (1) morally bankrupt obsessive scientist
please read this series. It contains exactly one man that never gets what he wants and a whole bunch of kick ass ladies that, for reasons known only to themselves, keep pulling his ass out of the fire
also a succubine spider-devil that loves wearing pink angora sweaters
I used to play this man so much
what's not to love?
it's been an age since I did a reread but
me too actually
him,,,
Alas I was good in PSLs with exactly one person but whenever I tried to spring him on DWRP at large it was a disaster lmao
badgirlcoven: HIM!!!
I had him in a game for a while and I'm perpetually tempted
I started listening to the short story audiobook compilation and now I'm re-reading Necromancer...
man you're making me miss playing horst
god. Same
oooo I keep forgetting there's audio for the short stories
I'm eyeballing one if only because bakerstreet is a wasteland of smut and shipping memes and Cabal is...Cabal lmao
yeahhhhh
probabiliteej: YOU WERE THE BEST HORST
my boy...
the pb for his icons was so perfect too
he's a good boy. The best boy. Johannes doesn't deserve him
god I'm remembering I've been in this fandom since book one
same I think...maybe book 2 was out already? But definitely there for 3-5 releases
god is there really five books in this series
nice
I remember waiting for detective
I also did. a lot of art and cosplay back in the day lmao
👀
you might have seen my stuff around fsgkgsb I can dig some up if you want
I probably did LMAO
small fandom
did you do the Johanna cosplay?
lol yep
oops that was to the small fandom comment but yeah I was ALSO one of the like two johannas
and it's funny to me that I'm pretty sure that being in the short story was a nod to the fandom but I have meanwhile transitioned
she was absolutely a nod to the fandom and I love that she was like....happier than OG Cabal lmao
SAME I'm like. we had opposite egg moments,,,
I know the books will never follow up on it but
how did you deal with the whole lack of a wiki when apping him? I'm curious how other people did it LOL
I ended up writing up a world overview and summarizing the first two books...which works I suppose but it does mean I'm limited in canon points unless I want to summarize the rest
LMAO I am the person who started the wiki that exists and then didn't have the energy to. fill it on my own
I just summarized everything
I just summarized everything
but I think the most recent time I played him there were only 3 books
BRO FEAR INSTITUTE IS MY JAM
also I don't blame you at all for not filling out the wiki. That's. So much work for one person
OH GOOD
lmao yeah
lmao yeah
I don't get the dislike of Institute honestly like...it's a fun pastiche that offers some insights into Cabal's psyche we wouldn't otherwise see, what's not to enjoy??
dying why is that hat so accurate
I don't get it either!
also lmao accurate
it's the bottom right one for me
man I've gotta reread these!
do it do it do it do it
join me in hell molly
I will DIVE IN
gotta get another copy of the first book, I lost it when I moved back from Toronto
hopefully it won't be too hard to find...I always peek in used bookstores but never see them
which is either a good sign (people love them and keep them on their bookshelves) or a bad sign (not enough copies were sold) lmao
finished necromancer, on to detective
I forgot how much I love Leonie 
in this plurk we stan a good person who takes no shit
also!! HORST. I have so many feelings about Horst. The gut punch at the end still hits hard
