blood curse anon thank u for explaining the death and designer’s reflections and all that heart emoji <33 there’s also the war in north kingdom with yunikina and all that but that’s also whatever. so much of this game is “yeah here’s this horrific event moving on!”

ANYWAYS LAST THOUGHT (unless there is Demand) AND THEN I’M FREE. this one is post-imposter au but pre-returning to miraland because yeas. feel free to answer this whenever it’s just that my doctor says i have to get all the ideas out of my head or else i’ll explode /j

you have nations and former gods at your feet, desperate for forgiveness and approval, and yet, much to everyone’s chagrin, your gaze always returns to a certain pink-haired girl and white cat. they don’t even worship you! they’re blasphemously casual with you, treating you like a fellow human instead of the god you are. maybe they could have the excuse of arriving from another world, but even in that one, you are a deity! yet they are the ones who you reach to, the ones who get to stay by your side above all of your acolytes.

the worst part is that they’re kind. they don’t flaunt their relationship with the creator, even though anybody would kill to be in their place. they don’t try to monopolize your time, happily stepping away to let your followers spend time with you if they ask peacefully (not that they have anything to worry about. everybody knows that you’ll always return to them).

on the other hand… nikki and momo are polite (well, nikki is, at least), but very protective. it’s rare that they’re not with you, but if you do have to be separated for whatever reason, nikki reminds you that you have your designer’s reflections ready to help you with anything you might need, while momo promises to bring you the best snacks he can find.

when they are with you, it’s as if you have two bodyguards. if somebody tries to push the edge of your boundaries, they’re suddenly met with nikki’s stern face, planting herself in between you and the offender with her usually soft, warm eyes turning hard. an unspoken warning not to get any closer. momo scolds the offender with all the indignation in his chubby little body, paws flying around as he yowls “is this how you treat your creator? so rude! so thoughtless!”

they’re a bit more forgiving if somebody makes you flinch, whether it’s by their mere presence or some movement that was too fast or too close. and by “forgiving,” i mean they’re not openly confrontational. nikki pulls you away under the guise of needing some advice on her latest design (“there’s nothing better for inspiration than new scenery!” she says as she pulls out her journal and pencil). momo is quick to perch in your arms, curling up and purring as loud as he can - if you call him a cat, he’ll scowl, but won’t argue for once, just purring louder.

the message is clear: if you want to get near the creator, you need the approval of their companions. it’s not the hardest thing to do - nikki is, by nature, soft and gentle, and momo is easily swayed by food - but it’s just as easy to lose that trust. they would never take any chances when it came to their friends, especially a friend as dear as you.

(ough nikki designing clothing and asking you for help…. after all, you made such a pretty world, and she knows how wonderful you are at styling already!)

also HI MUSHROOM!!! the Thoughts have consumed me! - teddy anon

[doesn’t know anything about shining nikki, and hence nothing about nikki herself] that seems pretty accurate

if nikki is from this land filled w war war and more war, violence and betrayal around every turn- hell, she’s already dealt with a cult before, right? granted, this is more of fanatical obsession(is there even a difference-?) and less of “i’m summoning the literal devil” so in theory it should be less harmful.

in practice…. she’s not willing to leave you alone with them for longer than an hour or two at a time. she’s not jealous, she’s be fine if it were anybody else, anybody she could trust…. but can you blame her? the first time you arrived, you were nearly shot, and she almost got kidnapped. she’s allowed to be a little suspicious

I am BEGGING younger drivers. drive carefully. give yourself room. for fuck's sake use your turn signals and don't fucking weave thru traffic. this is not a video game, this is real life and if you get into an accident, you could get killed or kill someone else VERY easily

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.
