while i'm on my shit about silt verses naming conventions i've decided to work out potential names for VAL before she became VAL and settled on odessa or odess, which alludes to the word "odyssey" - a long journey of changing fortune - but also to the swan queens of the ballet swan lake, the innocent odette and deceitful odile, who are typically danced by the same ballerina to emphasise their duality (and who, in the film black swan, has an abusive mother who exacerbates her transformation from innocent and sweet, albeit repressed to the point of self-harm, to corrupted and self-destructive) and feel apt because VAL's character is also rather fairytale-esque, in the traditional fairytale sense, as well as calling to mind the word "odious", which can be a synonym for abominable, abhorrent, hateful - all reactions that VAL provokes with her existence as an uncomfortably humanlike saint, and her actions.

anyway, as i ignore the contents of my previous post, im thinking about how cross is implied to get violent during breakdowns/when extremely overwhelmed. and he is aware of that fact and doesn't want to hurt anyone during that but he is Overwhelmed by emotions. i just think thats both neat and underused. (epic in this seems pushy but it was because he wanted to. like. bring cross to his previously presumed dead(estranged maybe? forgor the context) family. it was good in the end and cross ended up Not fighting anyone)

the x-event was literally just cross having a breakdown and chara going "i really hate my shitass dad so im gonna like. take advantage of this so i can fix my world through Immoral Actions including but not limited to: murder". and cross being in a mild state of dissociation during bits of it and just easily going along with orders. LIKE DUDE!!!

his mind is so easy to shape!! because in the right circumstances he will believe what you say unless something (which in this case is fresh) breaks him out of it!!!! cross would likely have gone along with whatever chara said or at least start to believe it before fresh burst in and snapped him back into reality!!!! and cross from then on argues with chara about their plan!!!!! ccome on!!!!!!! he is so easily manipulated and taken advantage of and used and thats just!! hardly acknowledged unless its like. cross gets emotionally punted into the sun-centric!!!!! cross is stubborn and he's proud but that means nothing when he can be pushed into mindsets that negate all of that. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

light: when i was talking to ryuzaki he--oh by the way ryuzaki ive been saying "he" but what do you prefer L: interesting. do you think this could be relevant to the kira case, yagami-kun? light: no, just curious. light: (is this a trap? would kira care about something like masculinity? no... kira is a paragon of justice. he would never misgender someone.) L: maybe yagami-kun thinks that a name and a face are not enough. does he think kira may also need a gender? light: interesting theory. is that why you don't have pronouns in your bio, ryuzaki? light: (ive got him. the other officers will never respect him if they find out L is a transphobe! wait, they're cops. damn it. has this all been for nothing?) L: ive actually taken the liberty of making fake pronoun pins for everyone in the squad, to ensure your security. here, yagami-kun. or should i say... yagami-chan. light: neopronouns?! (do i give off nya/nyam/nyaself vibes? or is this another clever ruse? he still hasn't even told me his own pronouns...) ryuk: hey, light. don't forget about the deal. the shinigami eyes would let you see anyone's pronouns at a glance. light: (forget it! im not giving up half my life just to they/them ryuzaki!) L: id just like to flag for the audience that im aware this is a stupid bit but don't worry it's over now

Is Jocasta Nightstrider Taako from Tv????

by which i mean is Jocasta and Taako is the same character?? This whole time i was under the impression Jocasta was a completely separate character?? who is Jocasta????

Howdy!! Jocasta Nightstrider and "Taako Taaco" are the same character but at very different points in their life!! "Taako" is who we see them as throughout Balance and the following 9 years after Story and Song that the liveshows happen throughout. However during the sequel, The Zone of Adventure: Imbalance (a 3-part miniseries that takes place 10 years after Story and Song), "Taako" goes through a really severe identity crisis and generally is having a Really Bad Time in regards to the overwhelming social isolation and stripping of his personhood that comes with Everybody in Every Universe Everywhere treating him as some godly savior and not as a real person.

There's a lot of development that happens but basically his response is to go through an extremely trans-coded character arc where he reclaims his life and body as his own to choose what to do with instead of continuing to let other people's expectations for him force him to be somebody that he doesn't like being. He starts back from zero, letting go of his wizarding days and starting a clean slate as a Ranger. He changes his name (now going by Jocasta Nightstrider), voice (taking up a faux-Shakespearean accent), how he dresses (donning a shimmery purple cloak), and sets off into the world as a completely changed individual to go adventure again, hoping to help those in need and do good in the world in a way that he wouldn't have ever been able to when he was chained down by his old identity.

So yeah! They're the same person, "Taako" is basically Jocasta's deadname, and Jo's just a much happier and healthier version of themself :] I think it was handled really wonderfully and Jocasta's my absolute favorite iteration of the character, their journey of reinventing themself and healing from their past trauma came at a time I really needed it so it's a character and story that I'm particularly attached to, if you couldn't tell haha.

If you wanted to watch it (it's very short, only 3 episodes), it was just recently uploaded to all the podcast sites alongside where the rest of The Adventure Zone airs as a direct continuation, but I personally think the best way to watch it is from their YouTube channel where it was originally uploaded 2 years ago, it has video and it's really entertaining to actually see everyone playing their characters with each other! (Edit: here's the link :])
