As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

Read Cuchulain of Muirthemne by Lady Gregory a while ago and felt inspired to draw Cú in his, uh, natural environment.

Plus it gave me an excuse to draw him with a red cloak.<3

OK, but hear me out about Gunvolt 3's True Ending. I thought about it when it was starting to cool off, and I don't think the Bab Ending is that bad. But take from my doc what you will. I think it leaves just barely enough wiggle room for another Gunvolt mainline game.

Ranting about games I enjoy

Mutuals, if you are seeing this. Please play these games for the love of god. Buy them, pirate them, I do not care. Play them.

GUNVOLT 1

Anyway, Azure Striker Gunvolt was a game series that started out in 2014 by Inti Creates, and this shit changed my life. Back when I was waaaay younger, I found the game on my 3ds while in my annoying anime phase, and thought it would be a visual novel or something, but it ended up being an action platformer. (I use the word "Platformer" lightly because there's barely any platforming) I ended up getting through, but I never beat the final boss. I'm gonna add a read more link because this post is gonna be loooong.

But anyway, that game was fantastic looking back. I used to play it on my dinky 3DS, and I was really bad at it, but the gameplay was still fun to me. It's like if Devil May Cry and Mega man had a beautiful baby. You just tag them with your gun, and use your electricity to damage them. It was a fairly easy game even though I couldn't beat the final boss, but the main fun was going for the high scores and getting good ranks, which I never did. I loved it, the story was cool.

Speaking of the story, you play as an emo blond 14 year old with long hair and electric powers named "Gunvolt" that works for a resistance division that goes against the "Sumeragi Group", an evil corporation that wants to kidnap super powered people (called Adepts) and use them for their evil desires, mostly for research and testing. Gunvolt was also a test subject of theirs. Sumeragi tried to implant the "Azure Striker" septima (a septima is a super power) into him and multiple people. The Azure Striker septima was super powerful, and it's just lightning powers. Sumeragi is an energy conglomerate, so they knew they could get a lot more money by using super-powered humans as an energy source. So Gunvolt gets rescued by the resistance (named QUILL) and goes up against them.

He also meets Joule, a kidnapped girl whose septima could be used to find the location of adepts anywhere, in the form of a virtual idol which is basically Hatsune Miku but cooler. QUILL wants him to kill her so that she can't be used to find people anymore, but Gunvolt tells them to fuck themselves and he saves her. QUILL kicks him out, but he still takes missions from them for some reason. These missions are the stages of the game, killing all the bosses that work for Sumeragi to get to Nova, Sumeragi's leader.

Enough about the plot, the game is fun. I recently found it again, and replayed it, getting high scores on most of the levels. It's fantastic. One of the best games I ever played. Did I mention there's 2 sequels?

GUNVOLT 2

Gunvolt 2, the best one. They introduce a guy from the previous game who is racist against people with super powers, Copen, (who got 2 spinoff games later on), because one killed his dad or something.

HIS GAMEPLAY IS FUCKING GREAT. Check out this video of Copen's gamplay, just as an example. He's absolutely fucktastic.

You also play as Gunvolt with a new support team, also, Joule got killed by the end of the first game by Asimov, the leader of the resistance. Yeah, Asimov, who was basically a dad to Gunvolt, betrayed him and wished for him to be the prince in "a new era" of just adepts. Asimov was planning on using Joule's power to KILL EVERY HUMAN. Luckily, Gunvolt and Joule merge and turn overpowered, leading to the best boss fight in the whole series, in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm getting off track. Zonda, a bigender character from the first game with a gem dick and two forms that worked for Sumeragi is now the antagonist of this game.

Also, they're actually not bigender? The true form is actually an 11 year old, which is very weird. Anyway, her new group, "Eden" which plans on eradicating every non-adept off the planet, just like Asimov. Both Copen and Gunvolt are having none of this.

Copen also hates Gunvolt because he's an adept, and he wants to kill every one of them. Gunvolt wants none of the smoke, but Copen still persists on being an asshat, causing fights between them throughout the game when the bump into each other. Joule's soul form is more tiny because most of her power got put into shards which Eden plans to use to kill everyone, so you gotta get them, kill the final boss, kaboom. Also, Mytyl (Copen's sister) was the one who originally had Joule's powers. Her dad was having none of this, so he RIPPED OUT HER SEPTIMA and forced it into Joule, but it comes back into Mytyl for this final fight when she "dies". Look, this shit is really complicated. There's also the real final boss between Copen and Gunvolt which is considered to be the best in the series by many.

This is the best one in my opinion. PLAY IT.

GUNVOLT 3

This just might be the longest section. Everyone's thoughts on it are mostly mixed. So, Gunvolt, right? Well, he actually got a power above a septima and became so powerful he hurt Quinn, a part of this support team. HE THEN TURNS HIMSELF IN TO SUMERAGI SO HE CAN STAY IN CRYOSTASIS. YEARS LATER, WHEN EVERYONE FROM THE PREVIOUS GAMES ARE PROBABLY DEAD, THIS NEW CHARACTER NAMED KIRIN COMES IN TO SUMERAGI AND SAVES GUNVOLT BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING AN OUTBREAK. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

Then, Gunvolt gets relegated to just a different character you can temporarily play as while Kirin is at the forefront.

So Kirin saves these people called "Primal Dragons". Primal Dragons are people who have been effected by "Dragon Radiation" that Gunvolt let out when using technology. This makes them super powerful and makes them evil or something. Gunvolt is also a dog. You save them and they join your team. Anyway, this guy named ZED WHO IS AN ABSOLUTE ICON AND THE ONLY GOOD CHARACTER COMES TO JAPAN IN A GIANT MISSILE PLANNING TO STEAL A DRAGON BABY THAT CHANGES FATE FROM SUMERAGI SO HE CAN BE THE KING OF THE WORLD. I LOVE THIS MAN.

So you have to stop the members of his group that help him get the binding brands, which can unlock where the dragon baby is located. Once he does, the dragon baby is actually super evil and fuses with Gunvolt, making it so you have to fight him.

There's also English voice acting, which I think is really good :) Anyway, Zed has a change of heart and uses his muse to resurrect Kirin after Gunvolt kills her. So there's this really cool fight between them. Once Kirin seals him, the dragon baby was actually preventing Gunvolt from killing everyone, and Gunvolt turns into a baby.

This is the worst way you could end a game. You don't turn your main character into a baby and shoot them into space. Everything about this game was really great, honestly, except for the story. You don't retire a character like this. I am unbelievably pissed. This is so stupid.

These games are great, please buy them or pirate them. Anything to make you experience these wonderful games. Just ignore the story of Gunvolt 3, please.

"Time heals all wounds, so why aren't you over it yet?"

Is this the message you wanna go by? People should just 'get over' his spectacular betrayal? The people that he has hurt because all they've asked of him was to correct his behavior to be less disruptive in the community that he was invited into. He was given plenty of chances while he was there. People talked to him while he was there. People back then were patient, they were trying to be understanding. He got second chances in spades while people wanted to help him.

When it wasn't getting through to him in a peer-to-peer level, he was given a choice: to correct his behavior, or leave the server. He chose to leave. Then he chose to script his missing persons and possible suicide attempt. For what? To get back at the people that refuse to allow his abhorrent behavior slide? That's been one question that gnawed on me until he tried to defend himself based on the document that recorded his behavior. I've drawn my conclusion on that. Now what I want to know is why the second chances that he's begging for now, from people who have rightfully made their boundaries in order to protect themselves, are so much more significant than the second chances he was given back then?

It's been dragging on for almost two years because he refuses to let go of the community that he wounded gravely. And the people he has hurt do not owe him their company, their attention, their forgiveness, or their responsibility of his bad coping mechanisms when they refuse to respond favorably to his hollow apologies that have only served to fill a word count quota. He can keep say sorry over and over and over but he will never articulate in his own words what he is sorry for and will only parrot people that have to push his face into his "mistakes" like a puppy yet to be housebroken.

And I say mistakes as a plural because for this to carry on for more than a year and quantified as a single mistake is incomprehensible. It's incomprehensible to believe if most of it are mistakes when they're more like conscious decisions that he is trying to downplay and discount because the reactions he got were not in his favor. He claimed for over a year that he's taking responsibility, only to turn on a dime when the opportunity presented itself to say that his misbehavior in the server wasn't his fault and he was manipulated. Manipulated how exactly, when he was given a reasonable ultimatum.

Speaking of favor, you're not doing yourself any. Acting like his mouthpiece when you wholly admit you weren't even on the fringes of this debacle. You're just discounting the true pain and guilt everyone in that server felt. Telling them to let it go, to let Lewis and his anger issues have free reign and make them walk on eggshells and placate to his whims...it's astoundingly entitled. You do not sound empathetic at all to the people that he has hurt, to the people that have set boundaries to protect their mental health and well-being.

If he wants to start over, he can do so in another community. As people have said before, he can remain a fan, but he can't expect to be welcomed back in a community that he, himself, have retaliated against so severely.

An Appreciation for Lewis

Hey, everyone in the Balan Wonderworld Community and Fandom, I would like to bring your attention please. 🔔

Now, pretty much you know about the story of Lewisthewondermaestro or as he is now called @lazy4dreams and how he caused the incident 2 years ago, and I am here to ask you guys one thing...Can you please forgive Lewis and bring him back to the Balan Wonderworld Community and Fandom please?

I get that some of you aren't forgiving him for his own actions, which I totally understand why, but there are two things you need to know about; 1. He is sorry for what he did, and he wants to make things right again, and 2. the incident was 2 years ago, and you guys need to let it go! Sure, I wasn't there 2 years ago when the incident happened, but after seeing some posts regarding him and the incident he did, I forgive him and give him a second chance, and you should all forgive him and give him a second chance too.

And sure, some of you guys may feel resented by this because of those bad things he did back then, but I am telling you that it is alright to forgive him when he said that he is sorry, for we are only humans after all just like him, I am sure that he wouldn't repeat it again, he deserves to have not just good friends like you and I, but he needs a second chance, besides, he is working on good projects that you would eventually like. So please, I am asking you to forgive this man for he really needs some love, open up to him with open arms of kindness, and give him some support.
