Does a podcast ever release a take you disagree with so strongly it makes you question everything you heard on it up to that point

I have a theory… that Hecate MIGHT be on the side of Chronos. Or at least on the side of the next turn-over of power. For fighting against the Titans, there is an odd quantity of titans in the crossroads crew, namely Selene (I know if we’re going to have a witch season with Hecate, we HAVE to also have the moon herself. And gameplay-wise, mechanically, she needed to be distinct from Artemis). (And Hecate isn’t a titan in the myths, so this is an oddly intentional change to her character!)* But Selene says something after like the third or fourth bottle of nectar gifted to her, something along the lines of, “Ah, this custom of gift-giving, maybe there is something worth saving from the Olympians.”

I’m sorry WAT 👀 I know we’re supposed to be focusing on the health of the Underworld, but Olympus is actively burning, what did you mean by that, ma’am???

And we still don’t know- I’m pretty sure?- HOW Chronos was re-materialized. He would have needed help from a chthonic god/being for sure, right? My theories on the Egyptian connection and Hecate equating to Isis and Chronos to Osiris aside…., Hecate laments that she couldn’t have stopped Chronos taking Melinoë’s family. She says SHE was the one tasked with protecting the underworld. If Chronos broke through and Hecate was the door… I’d at least like to go over the security footage again. Hecate carries so much guilt over what happened to Mel’s family, and SO insistent that I’m NOT your mother, and I wonder if there is a weightier reason behind it. She’s so triggered when Hades passes on his gratitude to her, like pls don’t. I don’t deserve your thanks, I failed you.

I don’t think the majority of the Crossroads crew would be in on it. Moros is obviously genuinely worried for his sisters after Chronos kidnaps them. Nemesis maybe, but I wonder if she would be so willing to go along with this plan if she truly believes Chronos deserves divine retribution for what he has done. And she never holds back from sharing her honest thoughts. But on my post about everything coming out of Odysseus’s mouth being a lie, someone mentioned that he could be in a lying-as-default mode in order to protect someone’s secret. 👀 And people have mentioned how fucked over by the gods Odysseus was in life. Is it a little odd he is so ready to lend his strengths to them now? He’s not like Heracles, he doesn’t HAVE TO be here, what does he gain from all this?

Of course, Chronos, like any villain, is always saying, why are you fighting me? I’m bringing a golden age. You think the world was better under the rule of the gods? And…. If it wasn’t for the baby eating thing…. I’d hear him out.

*I was wrong abt this lol

Very late night thought, but if I were to make an OC for “A Court of Fey and Flowers” would any of y’all want to make one with me so we can get together and make some messy regency era relationship triangles and knots and so forth?

I’m Eepy and might fall asleep soon, but if you hit me up I’ll respond as soon as I can.

I fucking love the Mass Effect trilogy and am more excited than I can describe about the one that is being worked on rn.

On that note, tho, one thing I feel was a miss in the game was the sense of scale. The game takes place in the ENTIRE MILKY WAY GALAXY. It doesn't feel that way at all. Maybe a corner of it. But not the whole thing.

That, however, isn't the point. As I was thinking about this. I was thinking of a (in my opinion) really cool ~time based~ game mechanic.

Where similiarly to how ME2 had fuel mechanics that was based on the distance traveled, this game would spend time. Maybe from one planet to another, it's a couple hours, maybe a day, but from one solar system to another, it could go from days to weeks.

With this mechanic, it makes all missions time sensitive. On top of that, some missions you may know just how time sensitive they are and others you may not. Inevitably, some missions would be missed, and then a secondary consequence mechanic would set in. This would be paired nicely with a mechanic that is already in some games that delays a mission being reported to a player. Meaning they could be on one side of the galaxy just chilling and get a report for a mission on the other side of Galaxy, possibly with a relatively high time sensitivity rating. In some cases, they have to drop what they are doing and go, or they automatically miss in no matter what.

For main missions, or missions integral to over arking story line. Obviously cannot be missed. There could be a secondary system that sort of levels up the difficulty of the mission or the severity of the situation, the later they get to it. Where in ME you arrive at the citadel and then it gets attacked, versus if you were "too late" the citadel has already been attacked and now you are arriving to (hopefully) fix what was a losing battle.

I think it'd be neat and would 100% add that sense of scale that is missed in a lot of space opera type games. And perhaps also a sense of agency.

I believe that, without a doubt, even if everyone disagrees with me and thinks that Mass Effect did a good job relaying scale, this would still be a cool ass mechanic to implement to basically any game. But specifically with space travel.

you have been slowly converting me with all your icemav posting, and i recently rewatched top gun and i am s o l d. it has been consuming all of my thoughts! do you have any favorite fics??

omg, am I really?? welcome to the club!!

I’ve thrown myself head first into icemav recently so I can ABSOLUTELY rec some of my favorite fics I've read so far!!

When We Get Around to Talking About It by @compacflt is the pièce de résistance of icemav fiction I think, for me personally. It's masterfully written and nuanced and just so heartbreaking. the characterization feels so true to how these men would really be in real life and how they would deal with coming to terms with their feelings for each other and sexuality while being in the navy. and as if 90,424 words of beautiful prose wasn't enough of a gift, there is also a sequel/other stories called Debriefing (& Other Stories) which includes a more truncated version of the original but from mav's pov which is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Dreams of Impact by thecarlysutra is also very good. It involves a little supernatural flavor, which I enjoy, and revolves around how their lives could be different if they'd just made one single different choice.

come the same colors by susiecarter is a fav. It's a classic 'you got hurt and it's made me reckon with how I really feel about you, but I haven't figured out how to express that'. So basically it's amazing. this author also has a great catalogue of icemav, so it's really a jumping point to read all of her great work. A Shared Cup is another personal fav of mine from this author. it involves soul telepathic bonds. soooo good

a binary star by vannral is a really yummy piece of fanfic. the first line of the description is the perfect primer for how great the rest of the fic is: "Ice hasn’t ever given much thought to celestial things up in the sky but he knows that Maverick burns like one." like. c'monnnn

i'll ride in this life with you by sassenach082 is an ice and mav raise bradley after carol passes away fic, and it's full of sooo much lovely hurt/comfort that is so sweet it will rot your teeth. any fic with a plethora of baby bradley is going to be good for me

I saw beauty to the north by sortalively (tiisis) is a delayed injury fic set post TG:M. It has a lot of rooster and ice and mav reconciling in it which I'm a sucker for. and, if you like the exploration of rooster and mav's relationship (I'm a sucker for parental figure fics lets not unpack that) this author has some greaaaaaaaat fics on their page for that!

cloaked in the bruises of our failures by faerie_ground will rip your heart out. It takes the mission from TG:M and moves it to the 80s with our favorite class of '86 being trained to fly it, all while Mav and Ice are a few years post a messy 'break-up'. I should warn you that this one comes with a trigger warned from sexual assault from a person of authority to an employee, so if you aren't interested in that maybe skip this one. It is so beautiful though and treats the subject with the respect it deserves. slithered here from eden (just to sit outside your door) is another by this author that is very good and I am waiting patiently for an update

a higher fidelity by basedchamp is a classic slowburn with ice and mav developing their friendship before they realize their feelings for one another

no brighter diamond by qin_ling is a wonderful 'five times...' fic and it's so good. Everything by this author is fantastic so you should def check out their other stuff. as lions is about time travel. delish.

You're Gonna Be The One That Saves Me by an orphan_account is amazing. It's got mav struggling post hop 31 and Ice being there to offer emotional support and more if you know what I mean

'Til I Understand by Katastrophe (Karrington) is about Mav punching out of dark star and kind of fills in some blanks about what his loved ones went through while he was missing. Katastrophe is another author with a large catalogue to just go crazy in

PurpleArrowzandLeather has 153 tg fics on their page with a huge variety, some icemav, some flyboys of '86 (which I adore, I love fics showing their friendship). you can get lost in their page for a while haha. they also have their bookmarks public! so you can dig around in there, too

Sailor's Delight by saurora_borealis can be read as ice and mav or icemav and I think we both know which one I infer it as. Mal de Mer by them is like that, too

baby, baby, i'd get down on my knees for you by boasamishipper and simplecoffee is 'five times mav proposes and one time ice says yes' fic. It's sweet as candy

Is this arguably too long a response? yes. are all of these worth the read? also yes

I hope you enjoy!!

I've got too many games I want to play and not enough free time 😭 I still need to finish my BG3 playthrough but since Endless Ocean: Luminous came out I've been playing a lot of that instead. Also just got back into Wizard101 last night. Started playing House Flipper again last weekend. Still need to finish BOTW so I can start a TOTK playthrough and finish Pokemon Shield so I can start on Pokemon Violet. I've been fighting off the urge to start up a new Skyrim playthrough for weeks. My brother just told me that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is getting ported to the Switch. And now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to replay DAI... And throughout all of this I'm also playing the hell out of DragonVale on my phone. Someone just pay me to play video games all day please

[apoapsis]

I had to step away for a bit bc of some irl stuff but I'm trying to dip back into things again finally.

Tentative starter call, like this and I'll write up something bite sized for us over the next week or so. Probably something general/small but we can take it wherever.

[akkivee]

posse’s curry track managed to sneak in character plot beats that probably needs to be addressed within canon lol so i was thinking the others are the same and so like

🔴: jiro and saburo needed to get ichiro to talk about his plans with them and even get him to consider different options in order to stay true to who they are

🔵: the usual rio hijinks lol but samatoki and juto worked behind the scenes to stop rio’s madness (he’s crazy m he’s crazy m—)

🟡: posse lol

⚪️: hmmmmm……….

🟠: rosho conducted sasara’s plans, kept rei and sasara on track and got their end goal, rosho doing all the heavy lifting for those two bums pray for rosho y’all lmao

🟣: kuukou be doing too much, pls stop him lol
