Dennis had been giving Dee money for weeks to tip for coffee. Dee, on her own volition, bought a lottery ticket with the money instead. 2 weeks pass and it remains in her purse, un-scratched. The ticket falls out and into the street. Mac spots it and claims it for himself. Right after picking up the ticket, Mac is almost crushed to death, but Frank calls out which prompts Charlie to kick Mac out of the way, saving his life.

Based on the scene at face-value, who do you believe is the actual owner of the lottery ticket in Hero or Hate Crime?

(To clarify: I am not asking who you think deserves it, but who you personally believe the ticket actually belonged to at the end of the chain of events?)

Explain your reasoning in the tags if you feel passionately!

Revisiting your childhood hyperfixation on Star Wars as a therapised adult is always funny because your opinions on characters or events radically change like:

13 year old me: Master Jinn is a bit strict on Obi-Wan but he has good intentions

28 year old me: Qui-Gon Jinn can literally go die in a hole

it’s been said to hell and back but man. man. the fact that larian made wyll the way he is —made his romance the way it is— is sure racist as hell huh

Ok ok ok I'm not Tryna start discourse but bluestars prophecy was my first ever warriors book and bluestar will always be my favourite so I'm gonna make some counterpoints to you about her being a Smajor character

bluestar has always been led by an intense loyalty and dedication to those she loves and cares for - this includes her mum, her sister, her clan, eventually Firepaw when he joins the clan, and she has a VERY strong moral compass when it comes to doing the right thing - when she sees thistleclaw teaching tigerpaw to hurt a then baby scourge she very much discourages it and is against it

Afaik scott is Not like that, he doesn't have an emotional or love-driven moral code, he does things because they're smart decisions in the long term or because he wants to. Granted I havent seen a ton of his stuff but I have seen his limited life and 3rd life perspectives and he is very much a singular team player there, there to look after himself and well if people align with him that's great he's got allies (jimmy and Martyn) but he won't go out of his way to care for them

Bluestars defiance of starclan in the first series is BECAUSE she gave herself to them and what the warrior code demanded so much - yes she broke clan rules by having kids with crookedstar but she did everything in her power to make sure they'd have a happy life and felt terrible that thrushpelt was willing to say they were his to save her reputation. She didn't do it out of a selfish want, she only ever wanted to help her clan and those she loved, and her becoming clan leader is emblematic of that want. When she rejects starclan so wholeheartedly in the first series it's because THINGS KEEP GOING WRONG WHEN SHES TRIED SO HARD TO STOP THEM FROM DOING THAT - starclan has never cared about the sacrifices she made to keep her loved ones and clan safe, she lost her mother, her sister, her kits, her mate, literally everything, and things STILL KEEP GETTING WORSE. it's not a demand that she deserves to have everything good, it's a cry for help that shouldn't something go right after she's tried so hard???

C!Scott isn't like that. He puts himself above others and inherently believes he will get the best if he just plays his cards right, and he is good at it, he's very competent at lasting a long time in life series and getting what he wants - the ruthlessness of gem driven by desperation kills him in secret life, Martyn's complete fucking about face kills him in limited life, and I'm pretty sure it's etho who gets him out in 3rd life by luck. He doesn't plan to look after the ones he cares about, because he cares about himself first and foremost. Yeah you can argue when he doesn't get what he wants he gets annoyed, but his is less of a 'why don't I get this don't I deserve it' and more of a 'oh fuck this didn't work. Ok new plan double down on getting what I want by appeasing to people cos they're easy to read and therefore account for'

I don't doubt Scott would make a bluestar adjacent character if he made a warrior cats oc BUT his character would honestly be closer to darktail or ashfur than bluestar and that's that on that.

(sorry you activated 13 year old me's unskippable cutscene sjdjsjsjja this isnt meant to be a serious argument I just love bluestar a lot and love talking about her)

OKAY 1. this is fucking awesome thank you 2. i am going to do something new and exciting (advocate for scott instead of beating him to death with sticks) because unfortunately this bluestar info has only made me believe she is a smajor character even more.

As a general note when I talk about smajor characters as a collective here I’m referring to characters more in the realm of esmp/traffic/rats/pirates/etc, less vampire scott or necromancer scott who are intended to be villainous.

Scott characters tend to operate under a “If I am not a Good Person I may as well die” rule, and consequently abide by a strict moral code to keep themselves feeling clean. For instance: traffic Scott will never go back on his word, he will avoid dishonesty, and he won’t take from others unless he is sure that he can repay them. He will never betray his seasonal primary ally (even when they betray him first), and will often give people things just because they asked him nicely. He stakes a lot of his own identity on this, because it is through being a “good person” that he justifies his superiority (and, by extension, his own existence); in his mind he deserves the best and *is* the best because he is such a good person. When things don’t go his way, he thinks he doesn’t deserve it because he has been nothing but good, so he tries to place a reason. He often assumes that somebody must “have a vendetta” against him, even if this somebody is the world (see: him asking if limlife episode 1 boogeyman is some kind of joke played on him for not giving in to the boogey curse in Last Life.) which is very Bluestar to me, convinced that her misfortunes are a divine punishment.

This is all to say that Scott does have a strict moral code and deep sense of loyalty. Being a “good person” and devoted partner in the ways he understands it are so ingrained into what he is that I think he definitely has the capacity to be a Bluestar if he were raised being taught clan values, even if his internal systems are often built around never letting gross emotions be fully felt rather than what those emotions compel him to do.

no but thinking of violante's manic state following her murder of ruven and that sick game of association-replacement played by gortash where he acts just like ruven did, picks up some of his behaviours and mannerisms and speech patterns he specifically used with violante and that he knows of well bc he observed and studied them interact, so that he can fill up the now empty spot left by ruven's death.

[designernishiki]

the further I get in playing these games the more convinced I am in my conspiracy theory that majima was raised well-off (or at least middle class) and well-educated and it’s so hard for me to believe that this hasn’t been hinted at on Purpose

[lenievi]

ok, so uhm, I was walking the dog and had an idea (blame the hot weather at 11pm)

a year ago I had a one day long phase where I was like Farragut AU with Kirk/La’an and McCoy/T’Pring, and I’m low-key back on that nonsense

because!

McCoy and Sevet. Imagine McCoy meeting T’Pring’s father. 

“Jim, a smiling Vulcan?”

this is even better than McCoy&Sarek (blasphemy!)

McCoy and Sevet visiting various restaurants and just getting along nicely, and McCoy teaching him a lot of weird human traditions.

[charlescoded]

the austria 2019 winner’s room was so good omg are u KIDDING me rn. the way that charles was so humiliated and max just was not giving a shit about any of it… what came after? 🤭

thank you <3 <3 charles was already veryyy unhappy about losing his first win, and now max is humiliating him like this? he's so angry and embarrassed...

but max stays dismissive, doesn't give charles any attention, and only gives him a single rule to adhere to: charles isn't allowed to touch his dick & get off. and the order he gives is for charles to finger himself, and to charles' horror, that's the only order... so you basically have max on one side of the bed, scrolling on his phone, and charles kneeled naked on the other side, desperately hard and unable to get off as he fucks himself with his fingers until the time runs out...
