Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Reader mode
How will Joe's new heart influence Joe's divine nature? Demigod with Hestia's Blessing, a divine construct as his heart? I could see this going in soooo many ways. Such as Joe literally/magically carrying around a hearthfire in his heart...

What do you guys think?
 
LordRoustabout isn't limited by the number of characters important to the story. Marissa and Gully were only made relevant because of their own interludes.

Joe isn't a full transformer, he merely has a single technogranic organ. It means there are microscopic living metal components that have been integrated at the sub-cellular level through the entire heart. It's a complicated thing to explain, but in broad strokes, he doesn't require a separate source of energon to keep his heart functional and the heart sees the advantages of being technorganic in addition to its other enhancements.

I was really hoping that link was just going to go to this picture:



...because, let's face it, that's not an incorrect way of viewing how Transformers are supposed to work. 😁
 
Huh...reading up on technorganics Joe may not be able to eat regular food, like eating food from a completely normal tree aparently made the maximals devolve into a more primal form

Depends on the series and type the only human technorganic that I can think of is Sari Sumdac from Animated and she can eat regular food with no issues.

Yeah but Sari is a kinda..."natural" technorganic being a protoform that mimiced a human instead ofa machine, and humans are naturally able to eat food. The other technorganics are robots that had organics introduced later on, nearly the opposite of what happened to Joe. That is pretty much the only reason why I was thinking of that happening to him.

I love the idea. I love the aesthetic too. Magic hearts are one of my favorite fictional concepts. It'd definitely be cool if he had Hearthfire housed in his heart. Heartfire.

I'm thinking of how Joe can release his heartfire and power himself up as well as heal himself. I have this image of Joe's heart igniting, a flame emerging from his chest where his heart is, then the flame growing and spreading to cover Joe, leading to a Flame Body/Flaming Aura.

It'd be cool if the heartflame changed colors based on what Joe wanted. Gold-Yellow for Healing and Rebirth. Orange-Red for the comfort of the Hearth and Home. And Green for Destruction aka Greek Fire.

There's also the image of the chest area, where Joe's heart is, glowing and releasing a warm orange-red glow and Joe using that to calm, comfort, and heal people near him by reminding them of home. The glow could pulse to the beat of his heart. Each heartbeat could release pulses of energy to the surroundings.

It's also cool thematically and symbolically since the flame represents his love for his found family, home, and his will to fight for a better tomorrow. It's a flame that burns brightly so long as he lives. Even destroying the heart wouldn't destroy it since he's a pyrokinesis and cause he has a hearthfire in the Workshop, his home, that can reignite it. It also shows how home is what you carry in your heart. It's what you make of it. It shows how by opening your heart, you can share the warmth of it with others. You can nurture it and even when you're hurt, remembering it can heal you and others. It can be spread and passed on like a torch. Even with only sparks and embers it can reignite the fire and set your heart ablaze so that you can be ready to face whatever stands in your way.

Also, I noticed his copies made Cybertronium and infused it into his heart... Just imagine how annoyed Joe would be if he rolled Cybertronium Forge next chapter xd

This is my luck in any game with RNG based loot drops.

I get endless piles of crap, and nothing else seems to exist.

A friend trades me something good.

Suddenly gear like that starts dropping for me. Like, having it in my inventory UNLOCKS it from the drop tables!

Argh!!

Don't forget the 3 chapters that were literally just the same fight, but with "Holy shit!" a bunch of times. Did anything at least actually happen in this one?

Lord did want to make those 3 chapters into one big mega chapter I think it was the best that he split the chapter into 3 it would have been hard to read that amount of text in one go

The process would be simpler with a larger number of drones or just more aggressive tactics, but that wasn't currently a potion.

He means that the clones didnt use one word to nake the heart, they used words, aka it has a multi word Name

Edit: but considering i left the discord i couldnt tell u any more about the context around the question
 
I honestly don't check the discord that much. Is there anything of actual note that gets posted there on the regular besides Lord's WOGs?

Also... not gonna lie, maybe it's because I've been listening to the Hans Zimmer Superman Theme, but I feel like it really fits the kind of hope for the
that Jozef represents. They may not see it now in the days currnelty ahead, but in the weeks, months, years and likely eons afterward a man who genuinely cares for people is going to put his foot down in Worm.

And he won't be doing it alone. Like yeah the story is overall about him, but I enjoy the idea of Jozef building a society that stands the test of time. He's actually THINKING about how his changes could herald a totally different system for the world at large. He could solve practically every modern issue within the blink of an eye. I just hope the burden doesn't crush the poor guy.

I mean, this is Superman-type thematic burdens we're talking here considering the end goal.

Maybe it's because I'm just repeatedly watching YouTube vids with music overalls but I just really feel like Jozef is the first in a long life of capital-H DC/Ancient Mythic type Heroes.

He isn't perfect of course, but he has all the makings of a Paragon, like Invincible, or Superman, etc etc.

Also, getting imbued with power beyond mortal comprehension and divine energy probably doesn't hurt either.

Whatever this treatment is...it's gonna really change the game on a cosmic level if Joe gets even a fraction of the power he's accumulated through perks and his own work.

Like if Morgoth and Sauron got together and forged a One Ring meant to Create, Nurture, and Build rather than Corrupt and Conquer. Or something.

It's like 3am this is basically rambling.

Anyways I just think this scene is really cool.
The scene from DC comics that I'm referencing. Either watching the whole thing or just go from around the 3:00 mark onward to get the gist of what I'm trying to say I guess.

When I read the omak about how Joe built a time machine and accidentally dropped the dinosaurs, and as I listened to the theme from Game of Thrones, the following picture appeared before my eyes: Joe, experiencing a time machine, travels to Westeros during the Long Night / Age of Heroes. And he, trying to understand what the hell is going on around him, accidentally invents from the nearest available material all this legendary nonsense (ancestral weapons, buildings, etc.), which has been going on since those glorious times))

That brings to mind Joe just dropping Legendary-tier (by everyone else's standards but not his) equipment (weapons and armor) everywhere for anyone (worthy enough?) to pick up and use.

Imagine him releasing Aura, LotR Enchanting and FMA Alchemy into the world too. None of that "Magic is a sword without a hilt." malarkey since Joe has standards and despises how limited and cruelty inducing canon ASoIaF/GoT magic is.

Adding onto 'Joe in GOT/ASOIAF'. Joe messing up the canon timeline might be fun, especially if he ends up utterly derailing the Civil War by being you know, a decent person, but have we considered:

Joe vs the Valyrian Empire.
(Incest, Slavery, and more than enough Blood Sacrifices to make even pre-Israelite Canaan balk)

Joe during Aegon's Conquest
(Either before or after the Field of Fire, Joe landing somewhere in the Riverlands. Or even before Harren the Black)

Joe in Sothoryos
(Blood Plagues, Demons, horribly venomous magical beasties, and eldritch galore)

Joe in Asshai/Quarth
(Joe vs ALL the Sorcerers scrambling over each other to get to him)
