A Hellfish flys again! ( a Simpsons X DVV CK2 Quest)

Reader mode
Thinking of the time bubble stuff, one has to wonder if old Jebediah Springfield was at all aware of Springfield's unique situation when he settled there. All things considered I suspect not, but it's an intriguing possibility.

Hmm if recall right Jedediah was discovered by Lisa to be a fraud in one episode but she remained silent not wanting to break the citizens hearts about the truth of their founder.

So him knowing Truth about the area that would come to be known as Springfield honestly could go either way. Heck for all we know it started after his time.

Also anyone else think Jebediah like Burns is a likely candidate to of had dealing with a certain deranged triangle.

And speaking of the Cipher anyone else wondering that one secret society the stone cutters might have some knowledge on him?
 
Random gag:

Milihouse; Lisa's in danger! Ok Webby, I don't like and you don't like me-

Webby: *genuinely confused* Wait, really? I thought we were good friends.

Milihouse: ....I tried to karate chop you out of a treehouse just last week!

Webby: That was a karate chop??? I genuinely thought you were having a stroke!

Sorry for the lack of updates/silence, RL has keep us somehwat busy, but rolls have been made and update is being worked on. No clear date yet for release but we will get there soon.
Omake record rewards will be updated later today. Thanks to all that took the time to write them, we really liked them!

Now to answer an important question!



(That said the question is this, how will the passage of time be noticed or addressed in Hellfish if at all?)

Okay, not gonna lie, you really choose a really good one for first question. This does also help explain how some of the Simpson's uniqueness is mixed in DVV and how we are handling it.

How we are working this is that Springfield, since the beginning of times (Not that far, but it sounds cool), has been trapped/is in some sort of time bubble/time lock (Like Gravity falls weirdness bubble) where even though time passes, it really doesnt have an effect on its citizens/whats inside, they don't get old, if they suffer horrrible accidents they get back up some time later with no issue, etc, etc. Some things do carry over/are not reset after a while. If people from inside the city interact with the outisde world, they would also be partially affected by them in the way that long term consequences dont apply to them/things somewhat reset without no one being none the wiser.

One important thing to mention is that no one inside Springfield/comes from the Simpsons series, notices this oddity, in fact, they think its normal for things to be this way. That no one ages after a while and that things sort of have a status quo. Like they just accept it as their reality, its their "Sky is blue, birds fly" thing. Not easy to convince someone that's not that way anymore. You won't believe me if i told you the sky is purple, and that cats are the dominant species of the world right? Same for them, they wouldnt accept easily that time works differently.

Now here comes the interesting part. If you are more knowledgeable on DVV, you would know there are time paradoxes happening in the background no? Thats why some series/characters that have no right being here are currently present in America. Well, those paradoxes affected the time bubble Springfield, causing it to burst so to say, that causes that first time in who knows how long, Springfield and all that live inside it are gonna be able to actually notice that time seems to actually move/pass. They will notice that they are getting actually older, actions have long term consequences(Death of Nick Rivera) and that some events/history from the world don't align with their memories.

Smart people like Frink and Lisa won't notice at first this, heck, they might even need help from someone outisde the city to point them out, but once they acknowledge the discrepancies? Oh boy things are gonna get interesting!

Hope this answers your question @nightmaster !

As awesome as it genuinely would be to see the Simpsons kids to *Eventually* grow up into teens and more (with 10 years, Bart especially isn´t too far away from the onset of puberty anymore), that means that Abe is now technically speaking on an explicit counter to simply keel over and die from simple old age - and let´s be honest, he isn´t living the most healthy life right and never has - so eventually, long-term we might wanna think about either extending his life expectancy in some form (including some kind of rejuvenation) or get an heir for our possessions lined up.

And lemme tell you:

Before he doesn´t majorly clean up his act, I´d rather not have the Power Plant and other stuff fall into Homers hands...

Keep in mind, lots of ways of extending life or becoming immortal

Good thing there's magic and high tech stuff in this world we might be able to get our youth back maybe without having to sacrifice those we love.
 
Well thanks to the Doof quest we at least know one villain that can turn us younger but we'll probably have to pay a pretty penny.

Who was that one again?

Also, just because they were used in DQ doesn´t mean they´ll get to appear here as well if they are on the more minor side.

But again, my musings are primarly *long-term* because even if HF follows DQ conventions of "two months per turn", that still leaves us with up to six turns before we are officially one year older - and as seen in DQ, even one turn can A) take pretty long and B) shake up things a lot.

I thought it was a month per turn to be honest.
 
Alternatively, I wouldn't mind setting up Lisa and Bart to be Abe's heirs. We'd have to do something about Homer and possibly Burns before Abe croaks, but if we set Bart up to be an Intrigue-Diplomacy charisma-based Hero and Lisa to be a Learning-Stewardship intellectual Hero... Yeah.

One thing to consider with the time bubble popped we'll be seeing Bart, Lisa, and even little Maggie grow up. True we got the future episodes (Which were always favs of mine~) but those seemed like what if's into possible timelines.

Hopefully the events of this quest and maybe Abes own little influence will help the Simpsons children grow up to be stable or semi stable individuals and avoid certain train wreaks some of the future episodes portrayed.

Frankly I am just imagining Lisa as the President in the far future but in the context of this Quest XD

If she thought she had issues before, just imagine Presidental DVV Lisa Simpson lol

Considering her crisis of faith about more mundane corruption that one episode (loosing faith in the olitical system of the US and writing an essay about it titled "The Cesspool on the Potomac"), I am honestly thinking that if she ever went into politics in Gridlocked and saw the utter mess it was, she´d probably completly flip her lid and go full-on Assange/Snowden, which would paint a big red target on her family´s backs.

So not so sure about that.
 
Eh, well in the future she did take just after Trump administration and considering they mention a very big debt, I don't doubt she only ran just cause no one else would try to unfuck that situation, like it would be funny that she was the only candidate during that year election, just because no one else wanted to touch that cesspool.

On the other hand yeah, like I doubt Lisa would get along with any of the kings, maybe tolerate Drakken since he is family for this quest now.

Either way, just remembered coming month is october, man the treehouses are gonna get interesting with all the outsider stuff we can use.

Dunno, I´d say that she could be conviced to *tolerate* Doof after hearing about his past and - if he were in any kind of power once she becomes POTUS - would probably get along well enough with Winston Deavor.

...oh dear...

How would Lisa Simpson react to meeting *Bellwether*?

A (seemingly) meek, intelligent vegetarian woman that´s big about "the little guys"

*Just utterly rotten*

Basically Flanderized!Lisa gone completly off the bend - that meeting would be something indeed...
 
Yeah I think Lisa would hate bellwether for what she did and call her out on it by saying she just wants power just like burns.

Lisa: you don't stand up for the little guys. You just stand up for your own self gain.
