#I have many questions

[nenoname]

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

Alright, trailer time

So the new character’s name is Cream Ferret, and from what it looks, they handle babies? It suppose that would make sense with the light color scheme, since I think that can be associated with babies

I think it’s cute honestly

Also, so no, the baby doesn’t just immediately become an adult, Custard III, Chili Pepper and Cream Ferret just raise this whole child?

Is this why they’ve been gone from World Exploration this whole time? I’d say yes, but also the babies only happened recently in the timeline, so no

How much time has elapsed? Have years passed or did the baby just magically grow overnight?

Marina? New BCC Member? I have questions

[gentrychild]

in the volume 40 extra (which just released) it says AFO kept Yoichi's hand until he lost it getting chased by All Might day after day.

... Do you think that All Might saw something falling out of AFO's pocket, grabbed it and then realized that it was a severed hand? Has All Might wondered for decades why AFO was carrying a severed hand around?

Let me tell y’all something.. Zac Oyama maybe play characters with low intelligence scores, but he is SO good at pulling threads together and remembering information about the lore and making connections and figuring things out

Gorgug especially has been really great at making connections and asking the right questions. (That’s why the boy increased his intelligence score in sophomore year)

I’m wondering what the implication of the energy attacking Cassandra being the same thing as what Lydia is keeping in her chest? Do we actually know what it was Lydia was fighting with her adventuring party? Will we find out more? Does Lydia use her own rage to keep it subdued or is the energy created by rage (eg Cassandra’s anger at Kristen)?

Here remember my damp fan phase

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE PART OF LAS NEVADAS WHERE QUACKITY RECRUITS FUNDY

He was in Fundy's dream? How?

If someone has that answer pls let me know

[entertaining-two]

Does anyone remember that interview I think it was the one with Nic, Luke and Claudia and one of the questions was like what’s your favorite iconic line from bridgerton and Nic started listing them from previous seasons like the “I burn for you” and then she said “you’re so fit babe, that one’s in this season”

Am I crazy? I remember this and so like what scene would that be? Is that even real? Was it a joke!? WHAT IS HAPPENING

[dark-elf-writes]

Fun fact! I saw a picture of cloud wearing Vincent’s cape (kh) before I learned anything else about ff7 and was expecting Vincent to die the entire fucking game

I was pretty sure the whole Cloud outfit in Kh is a nod to his friends that didn’t make it when the world fell into darkness… and then I remember Tifa rolls into Radiant Garden to kick walls and politely ask where Cloud went so maybe I’m wrong.

Though with the KH lore implying that Sephiroth is “the darkness in Cloud’s heart” maybe his more… dramatic outfit is a nod to that… don’t even get me started on the wing and the implications of that I beg

Thoughts about the Veilguard gameplay:

Would have liked to see some companion combat. It mentioned that the command system was locked at that point in the story, but I would’ve appreciated seeing how it works. Can you give orders like ‘go there’ and ‘focus that guy’? Can you set them up with tactics like in Origins? (I miss the tactics menu.)

I noticed Neve got in close a couple of times to do some melee shenanigans, is that a Neve-specific quirk or are we getting some more in depth sexy close quarters mage stuff?

Rook had a limited arrow pool which is fine, I have no issue with that. What I’m wondering is if rogues as a class will have less reliance on the bow? Or will it be possible to spec further into that? How does it work for Varric and Harding who are archer based? Will there be a dedicated archer class? Can I play bow and arrow main weapon is my question.

I would’ve liked to see more of the magic system. What kinda spells and spell classes will we have this time around? Neve seems very ice-centric, which is neat, but can I cast fireball? Chain lightning? Can I spec someone into the dedicated spirit healer? Is shapeshifting coming back? What about blood magic? We’re in Tevinter please give me blood magic.

What ARE the classes going to be and how will the system work? Is it locked in from the start? Do we have a bit more flexibility with it? Can I respec skill points? Are there class masteries?

How does equipping weapons work? Can you have a main loadout and swap to a secondary loadout like in Origins? Do weapons come in sets, or can I mix and match this sword with this offhand weapon? Am I locked to certain weapons? Are there any cross class things going on? That rogue Rook we saw, is that bow an ability or a weapon he can swap out? How does it work?

How does companion levelling work? Can I spec Harding into daggers? Like how in Origins you could take a perfectly good dagger-wielding rogue in Zevran and say ‘here’s a bow, shoot stuff’ can I do that again? Or are classes more locked down?

Will I be able to see companion health bars (and other statuses) when they’re in my party?

Intrigued by the ‘which companion you take will have consequences’ bit too. ‘Harding will go with you into greater danger’, does that mean… what? Permanent injuries? Relationship status changes? Unique dialogue? If you take a companion into a situation they don’t want will they leave the group? Do companions have the chance for perma death???

Is that dialogue system similar to DA2 and will it have some of the same effect on ambient dialogue?

I don’t think we’ve ever had a romanceable dwarf? Do we get two this time? Harding and Varric? Please??

Is Rook locked to human? I don’t want that. After we finally got to be Qunari in Inquisition, please don’t give us less options now.

The two shapes that rise up behind Solas at the end have some vague resemblance to the Architect and Corypheus, any chance they are some more of the Magisters? Could we get some more lore about the Black City? Especially considering all the differing opinions about whether the Maker lived there or the Old Elven Gods or whatever. Would be nice if it really does have something to do with the taint because I am STILL WAITING to find out if my Warden and the Architect figured something out, and we left someone in the Fade in Inquisition… now is the time okay. Bring it all home.

I know there’s that thing going on about how they want only names and faces Solas doesn’t know, but like… if the Fade is being torn asunder… will Hawke/Alistair/Other Guy make a return? Have the Veiljumpers found them? If there is something about the calling (which I’m hoping given we have a new Warden), will our DAO Warden be making a reappearance? Is this gonna be like… all the old PCs joining the new one to Ultrazord punch Solas in the face?

Elluvian appearance: I know Tevinter is Just Like That but please??? News about Merrill???

Just in general, how many of my faves will be brought back and done dirty this time? I need to know so I can brace myself.

[violinfantasy]

so junhwan is doing natural by imagine dragons for his sp for whatever reason

[vaguely-concerned]

still thinking about that ep where sisko hyperfixates and goes the full thor heyerdahl IN SPACE! (excellent, perfect ds9 episode premise, spectacular, no notes). specifically I can't stop thinking about dukat at the end greeting them with (sarcastic???) fireworks (IN SPACE! somehow!) when they arrive in the cardassian system. it's such a weird vibe. it's got the feeling of 'and then everybody clapped' or maybe someone's dying dream or another dominion simulation or something, the mood is so odd haha

[lieutenant-amuel]

Hmmm

If Zopilote can transform into a vulture, does it mean that shapeshifting wizards canonically exist in the show

[janeways-coffees]

Guys I have so many questions about languages in RoteLand (tm)

Like. Ok. We have

Chuyrdan

Outislander

Chalcedean

Duchy-tounge

Mersen/mercen

Jamallian

Common?

So like. Fitz speaks chuyrdan and fitz speaks duchy-tounge and in tawny man he learns out islander and somewhere in there he knows enough chalcedean to speak with Chalcedeans and he learns Mercen. But like.

What do they speak in Bingtown? Do they speak jamallian in jamallia? If bingtowners and rainwilders are derivatives of Jamallia, shouldn't they speak a jamallian offshoot? How can fitz speak with the bingtowners without one of them speaking a second language? Its a whole thing in LST that clef has a heavy 6D accent, so shouldn't that come up again?

If Buck is founded by outislanders, shouldn't they have more linguistic similarity to them than to bingtowners? Bingtownese should be Jamallian derived.

And the pirate isles? A lot of them are ex-chalcedean or jamallian slaves! They should either be speaking chalcedean or jamallian! Or a hodgepodge of the two!

But then Bee refers to a common tongue which makes 0 sense to throw into like book 14 with no preamble.

Did I miss something? Theres nowhere Bee would have learned a language other than Duchy-tongue, given how limited Molly's knowledge would be and how little attention Fitz payed to her.

Like. Even if all languages are Elderling derived there is still clearly enough linguistic diversity for fitz to have to study chuyrdan and outislander on screen. So.

I'm just confused beacuse of how much care robin has put into this world to suddenly ignore potential language barriers between team buck and team bingtown? Like why isn't Amber translating? What language do they speak in bingtown please I just wanna know!!!

[tiredofthehumanlife]

Yk how we name our pets like cheese and goose and like sock do you think ppl back in the day used to do that too like did ancient Egyptians name their cats their version of sock? was there a Pilgrim walking round with a horse named corn or boot? did ppl in the Renaissance have like a bird named bread? did a Victorian have a rabbit named bacon?

[SPOILERS FOR HARLEY QUINN S3]

if the lazarus pit is a thing on the harley quinn show, why didn't bruce try to revive his parents with it instead of with ivy's zombie plant serum?

damian lives with bruce since season 1, so bruce HAS "dated" talia or at least been close to ra's, wouldn't he know about the pit?

plus, red hood is canon, so? maybe he's not in touch with bruce and b might not even know he is alive, but eh????
