my friends when I hyperfixate on a new character

[shikai-the-storyteller]

I've been thinking a lot about Leonarda's not-death ever since it happened back in April.

("What death?" you might ask, to which I say: "EXACTLY!")

Back in mid-April, Vegetta and Leonarda were mining together in a one-block wide tunnel. A mob (a Petriman) got between the two of them, and Vegetta told Leonarda to step back while he took care of it. At this point, they'd spent enough time together that he trusted Leo to listen to him.

Instead, she was killed by the same sweeping edge bug that killed her siblings.

-

Vegetta's reaction here is what's really interesting to me. Unlike most other parents on the Island, there are no shouts or tears – only a very brief "Hmm" and then silence. He very quietly takes stock of the situation, saying "Vegetta, no" and wondering aloud why Leo didn't defend herself. In chat, Foolish says "It was a bug, right? LAG" to which Vegetta slowly responds "Yes, lag. Bug." (Despite this, Foolish still asks "WHAT HAPPENED" in chat, though Vegetta doesn't reply).

Instead, he creates a slightly wider space in the tunnel where Leo's body is. He continues quietly taking stock of the situation, wondering why Leo didn't defend herself (which is what necessitated his intervention). She'd been lagging a lot that day, and he figures that must be the cause, and eventually when Leo re-appears out of thin air in the middle of the cave and collects her stuff, she confirms that the lag got to her and that's why she didn't fight the mob.

Now here's where things get interesting:

Vegetta checks the tab list. Online, it's just him, Leonarda, Roier, and Foolish. He quietly tells Leonarda "The body has already disappeared, and without a body, there is no crime. Nothing is happening. Did you die?" Leo shakes her head, and Vegetta shakes his head too, and in the kind voice he uses sometimes with Leo, he says: "I believe you have not died. Where is the body? It isn't anywhere, no mija. If it was a mistake, it was a mistake."

Leo says: "I saw Diosito (God) pa, and I was scared. God, what am I doing here?" and Vegetta laughs, telling her it's alright. Leo says "No pasa nada (don't worry / nothing happened)" and Vegetta says: "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." To Foolish and Roier, he messages: "Secreto."

And the funniest thing about this is it worked.

Not a single person spoke about it. I saw this entire event go down live and I didn't see a WHISPER of what transpired among fans. I can't even remember if the QSMP official accounts talked about it (they sure didn't mention it in Vegetta's recap of the day). We could discuss this in meta terms of course– Leo was having known lag issues that day, Vegetta's beloved by the admins so of course they're willing to turn a blind eye rather than slap a "?" over Leonarda's life on the Eggstatistics, but meta talk isn't what I'm interested in here.

I'm interested in q!Vegetta, the weird "god-adjacent" aura he's got, and the way the universe bends to his will.

Before he took a break from the server, Rubius seemed to be a caretaker for the Eggs who died (for example, he was present when Maxo, Quackity, and Mariana & Slime said their final goodbyes to Trumpet, Tilin, and JuanaFlippa). Because of his role as an "angel" and some of his dialogue during the early days of the server, it's not a stretch to say he probably came to collect any Egg who lost a life. I can imagine he did the same when he saw Leonarda die – that is, until Vegetta said "And the people who are watching us have not seen it either." Realistically, we know Vegetta was saying this to Chat (and possibly the admins as well), but again, we're looking at this from an "in-universe" perspective.

I wonder if Vegetta was aware of Rubius' role, and this was his way of telling Rubius "No. I won't allow that to happen." We know Rubius has a soft-spot for Vegetta (and we also know that Rubius was cast out of heaven several months later) so it makes me wonder if these two instances are connected.

Either way, this isn't the first time the laws of the QSMP universe have bent for Vegetta, and I certainly don't think it'll be the last.

Rubius or no, Leo didn't die that day.

Vegetta made sure of it.

It's always "Shou and Ritsu need to blow stuff up with their minds for mental health reasons" or Ritsu and Teru or even Shou and Teru!

But what about Mob? When does he get to blow stuff up with his mind for funsies? For shits and giggles? He didn't go through all of those meltdowns and character development for nothing, let him go ham on a junkyard car or something smh

I believe in Mob's narrative given right to fuck shit up sometimes

do u ever think about how the original series started airing before the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the UK and the reboot movies were being made during the legalising of same-sex marriage in the UK. and yet tos spock is undisputedly more canonically gay than aos spock. because i think about it a lot.

and even now. spock. is. still. not. gay.

"this simple feeling" he said that in 1979!!!

but 50 years later they still can't say the word love

To quote my friend:

Adding anything to the Word of God is risky: and depicting anything not in Scripture is ultimately conjecture. It's essentially asking "What Would Jesus Do?" and then depicting it. Don't get me wrong, the adage of "What Would Jesus Do?" is not necessarily unhelpful in real life, but in truth it is still our limited human understanding attempting to extrapolate the principles and behaviour and apply it to something else. Most of the time, it may be helpful, but it will always be imperfect. So the issue comes when we then take that limited human understanding (1 Corinthians 8:2) and then putting words in the mouth of a depiction of God. Maybe they'll be somewhat accurate or helpful for our human life, but it will never be perfect: and putting anything other than perfect in God's mouth is not advisable. (Proverbs 30:5-6)

Now, as for them saying to read Scripture for themselves, it isn't a get out of jail free card. Teachers are held to a higher standard than others (James 3:1) and, like it or not, the Chosen has a classroom of all its viewers. If your teacher taught a long lesson, but said at the start, "I'm basing my lecture on these sources, but I've added a bunch of conjecture that we have no confirmation of, so you'll have to read all my sources to know what I made up." Then it is not only inefficient, but oftentimes actively unhelpful. Remember, the warnings against being a stumbling block aren't brought forward because of the stronger brother, but the weaker brother. So if the excuse given is, "Yeah, we might be adding stuff to what we can confirm God said, but the stronger brothers will know what the Bible actually says." then you have to ask whether you are being a good representative for the weaker ones.

Worldbuilding priorities according to my brain

Not Important:

Governments

Name of a major antagonist group (TCOA)

Biomes

Any location name (I have 1 solid location name and it's Almyst from C&C which won't be visited until the last part of the series)

Important:

Random little details that will probably have nothing to do with the plot or characters

Sea dragons which are also merfolk (TCOA)

I love comics cuz it's like

-starts a page-

-countless tragedies and triumphs of life play out-

-my molecules rend apart and reassemble a thousand times over-

-continents form a new Pangaea then crumble to dust-

-heat death of the universe occurs-

-finishes the page-

'Okay phew I only have to do that 66 more times'

part of the reason I tend to put off editing is because I know I use a stupid amount of emdashes and colons/semicolons and like. if you think my fics are bad for run-on sentences you should see them before I make a concerted effort to edit those bitches down. truly an unreasonable state of affairs but I cannot stop myself and I can’t help but huff the copium and try to suggest it’s an intentional stylistic choice to convey narrative flavour of limited point of view. still makes it a bitch to edit.
