ONE last post and then i'll shut up i promise this is just very important i need all hands on deck

Out of curiosity and totally not because I'm looking at books again while they're on sale. If Lohi were to take on another job other than Monk or Dancer, what do you think would fit his vibe?

It has to be mobile and fun, otherwise there's no restrictions! Unless it's a tank class. He might sit still if it means he's protecting others. Just not Paladin because he does not trust shields anymore.

aight, its time to help me with naming again. specifically this is for that nameless historical twilight story that's enraptured my brain lately and this is for the "bella" of the story.

notably, she is romani who ended up in the netherlands after being expelled from germany, then marries eduard and is bethroed to him and carried off to the basque region (in spain specifically). i distinctly wanted to keep some attachment to the name 'bella' by having all the potential names ending in 'la'

Opinions needed for a future storyline for my May/Natasha story

Okay, so in this story Peggy doesn't age (she is also Tony's mother) and she is getting very close to discovering Hydra in 1999. She and Jiaying are best friends and Daisy is May (And Natasha's) daughter (Jiaying is May's godmother and May is inhuman) So, i think a Hydra leader needs to be sacrificed in 1999/2000 by the others to get Peggy (temporarily) off their trail. She is assisted by May, Nat, Coulson, Clint, Laura, Fury and Inhumans if needed. Who would make the most sense to be the leader who is sacrificed?

Gideon Malick:

Pro: Connected enough to make it believable that he and he alone is behind everything

Con: He is connected to Hive/inhumans which is a storyline I may decide to address later.

Whitehall:

Pro: He didn’t abducted Jiaying for a second time in this timeline (he did during the war and Peggy saving her is how she and Jiaying became friends) so his ‘point’ is kind of diminished.

Con: it would be difficult to figure out how he got out of jail without exposing the bigger conspiracy.

Alexander Peirce:

Pro: Like Mallick he is connected enough to make it believable he is behind everything alone

Con: it takes away a lot of options about how to handle the eventual hydra reveal and he is so intertwined with the conspiracy that it could be difficult to write it without him.

Von Strucker

Pro: Connected, and he wasn’t used in cannon much anyway (though i'm not sure if his son is born yet, and he could be interesting character to use in the future.

Con: Figuring out a way to have him be the ‘big bad’ without exposing Hydra’s existence.

I would appreciate any opinions, i don't know how many people still care about AOS/Marvel

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

More Lamb n Leshy interactions (in no particular order): Jealousy, Fluff

Leshy is the ex-god of chaos, so it's no surprise he favors chaos and that it guides most of his actions, which also makes his motives pretty unpredictable, even to the other Bishops. 

Hating the Lamb would be the logical thing to do, but approaching them in a friendly way will result in more confusion and a chance to annoy the hell out of Narinder as a bonus.

So far Lamb doesn't seem to mind, aside from the confusion the interactions cause them. 

Based on Leshy interactions in my cotl game file
