Artfight in 4 days so I'm finishing up my last few refs (I've got 1-2 after this?) Anyways, self-indulgence time. I've been meaning to make an artist sona type thing for ages (and started thinking about it again when drawing my spidersona thing). But having my favorite creature as a siphonophore made workshopping a design a bit of a struggle. Thankfully the worms in my brain give me many good ideas.

Tear ring saga is what happens when you let kaga go mad with power. This is both positive and negative.

A husband and wife refuse to go in different armies during a route split because fuck you if you want both of the rewards they can unlock in different routes. None of this is foreshadowed.

You have an immortal unit in the early game and if you somehow get him killed for real (his imortality is tied to a weapon) you recruit the late game crutch character mage early. Also, he gets better. Again, not foreshadowed.

One of your units leaves your army to rescue his sister and he fucks it up so bad you have to go help him anyway and he's wearing enemy armor and is indistinguishable from 90% of the enemy units on the map and you can kill him on accident. It's the funniest chapter I could possibly conceive of in a game like fire emblem.

You get your dancer by letting a child get kidnapped and sold into implied sex slavery.

There's an entire games' worth of plot happening off screen where the actual chosen ones are doing shit. They show up in a couple of chapters to save your ass.

You have a paladin that promotes into a wyvern lord. He is understandably the most overpowered unit in the game.

There's a sniper who refuses to kill people *unless* you recruit her optional recruitment sibling and get that sibling killed, and then she decides she needs to kill people to get her vengeance.

The really weak looking villager character gets an insanely good promotion. Like, he gains 7 strength and speed on promotion, it's so good.

There's a boss you kill by letting infinite spawn green units attack him until his weapon breaks. This is the intended solution to the boss fight.

There's a chapter where there are 5 wyvern lord bosses who all support each other. They only attack if you're in range of multiple of them. And supports add hit, avoid and crit. Also the chapter is a desert map, with hidden treasure. Yes it is as horrible as it sounds.

Obscure recruitments galore. Seriously, you can mess up a late game recruitment as early as chapter 8 and you also have to get a bad unit to kill a specific one of those 5 wyvern bosses to get one.

There's a character that has a skill that makes himself and everyone in like 3 squares around him have -50 hit. In exchange if he hits he steals everything in the enemy's inventory.

Hana-Rawhiti's Haka was entirely appropriate, not only given the situation, but in keeping with the way Māori do things.

In formal situations, such as a pōwhiri (English might be something like a welcoming ceremony?), speakers always end with a haka or a waiata (song). This is exactly what she did. She spoke when it was her turn to speak, then started the Haka. It is also keeping with tradition that others joined in, including those in the public gallery. While it's the speaker's duty to lead the haka, or nominate someone to do it for them, it is then open for anyone else to join in and support it. The haka and the speech are attached, so supporting the haka is also supporting the speech.

Approaching Seymour is a little more unusual, but that's only because most formal situations like this are between peaceful groups. However, it also makes an important point. The speech and haka were not against the space, not against the mana of parliament. It was against Seymour and his supporters. So approaching him makes that clear where it's directed.

Given this, the speaker's response show utter ignorance and contempt for Maori ways. If he had any understanding of how any of this works, he could've simply waited for the Haka to conclude, then called on the next speaker. As the Māori Party were keeping with tradition, they would've had to respect that, and sit. Instead, he closed down parliament and cleared the public out. He made this contentious, and took what is traditional as in insult.

Seymour's response is no better, complaining about wanting a "reasonable debate" instead of a "dance", ignoring that the Māori party has been debating this, along with almost every other institution in the country, since the draft was released. This was the party's final word, their final push back against his racist bill.

This, in a nutshell, is what the government thinks of Māori. Ignorance and contempt. No attempt to blend traditions, or even basic understanding. Just constant demands to conform. It's hidden behind manners, but it's the same civilised vs savages racism that's justified colonialism for centuries.

Hana-Rawhiti acted with amazing poise and mana. Toitū te Tiriti!

creating a new OC. He's a doctor who treats weird kink furries. his bit is that every patient who comes into his office he has to figure out how to complete the checkup while working around some weird toon-logic contrivance. He's like the doctor house of kink because he's the only one in his field capable of getting results. He's massively overworked and he's been IP banned from the e621 forums.
