Fragments of a Cybernetic Mind: Epilogue (one last cameo)

cn alcohol

I’m hanging out at Stardust. It’s book release day, a time to celebrate. My friends are here, getting drunk with me. Getting late, getting drunk, getting friendly with everyone.

Sometime after midnight, the horned hybrid with the white hair I watched dance a few weeks ago walks up to me: “I heard you were looking for information on Combat Androids?”

“Yeah,” I slur through the alcohol. “I was looking for an android called Leon Dekker, though that’s kinda done now.”

“Oh, I could have helped you with that,” they smirk. “I knew him.”

“Really?” I ask, suddenly sober. “How?”

“We used to date for a while.”

Back to scene]

“Wait, what did you say his name was?” they ask.

“Leon Dekker.”

“Oh, okay, nevermind then.”

And Then It Is Monday - Why Sunday's plan did not (and could not) work

So normally I don't really make longer analysis posts, but I kept seeing people on social media outright supporting Sunday's actions in 2.2, and I wrote something out about why I personally think that Sunday's plan is wrong. I don't know if this is an issue with tumblr as well, given that the people I saw supporting him were on different forms of social media, but regardless.

Before I begin, I'd like to pose a reminder that the opinions in this are mine and mine alone. If you agree, awesome! If not, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, so long as you're respectful! I have no idea if this is well written or will make any logical sense, but here we go!

(Spoilers for the 2.2 Trailblazer quest under the cut, if that wasn't already obvious)

So the first thing to get off the table: I feel Sunday is a very sympathetic villain, but a villain nonetheless. I understand the people that sympathize with him. I do too, to an extent. He was raised on unhealthy ideals and the belief that he was a "religious figure," one that people looked up to. Other people were allowed to just be, but Sunday always had to be better. He loved his sister, and the people around him, and he wanted to make a better world for them.

But that does not excuse what he did. Making a 'better world' can never come at the cost of taking away people's free will, because that world will never be "better". That's where Sunday's plan falls apart.

Because, yes, there are shitty people in the world, and yes bad things happen. Would it be amazing if we could stop all the bad things from happening ever again, and make the world a much better place? Yes! It would! I would love to live in a world where I don't have to fear for my life and my freedom for an assortment of reasons! But that world doesn't exist--in real life or on Penacony--, and getting it to exist shouldn't be the result of subjugating and controlling other people, because that in and of itself is violence. Albeit a different kind of violence, but violence nonetheless.

Not to mention that things like Sunday's plan and the concept of forcing everyone to act a certain way just to fit this "better world" to me almost serves as a condemnation of human nature and of the very act of choice itself. Your better world starts by saying that some choices are bad, so those choices get taken away, but where does it end? What if someone in charge views a harmless choice as a bad one, and takes away that one in return? Does it stop there, or does it continue, until no one at all is allowed to make any decisions, except those in charge? Who, really, does that benefit?

Consequences for certain choices exist. Generally, society says murder is bad (except for specific circumstances such as self-defense, which technically at that point is no longer even considered murder (at least where I live, it may be different in other areas, but I'm basing this off of my own experience)), so there is a concrete consequence to people murdering people--assuming that they don't get away with it. It doesn't stop people from murdering people, because the liberty of choice is still there, but it shows that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should or that you will escape without consequence.

People are going to do bad things. That is, unfortunately, how humans are. But our responsibility lies in holding ourselves accountable and in promoting growth and healing. That is how you build a better world. Not trapping everyone inside a dream world without any care for their feelings or beliefs, but in getting people the help they need, in fostering a society of positive change and human connection.

And that is why, as "golden" as Sunday's dream may have seemed, it was never going to work. In the end, as the story quest shows, human will and the desire for freedom wins out in the end. When there's a will, there's a way.

Writing more in-depth about the Knights of Hyrule right now, and I am realizing that I never gave a name to Lincoln's subsection of pages and squires.

For context, the Knights of Hyrule each have a title that corresponds to one of the Seven Sages in OoT: Fire, Water, Forest, Shadow, Spirit, Light. But Zelda, the head of the sages, doesn't have an formal title.

I have gotten away with just referring to Lincoln as the Master Knight (which I stole from the ALTTP manga), but I should actually give him a formal one now.

So I have two ideas: time or courage.

Time is a call back to the old theory that OoT Zelda is the Sage of Time, which was arguably made cannon by Tears of the Kingdom. It also is a subtle reference to the Hero of Time and implies that the title is tied to historical legacy; to me, it feels more secular.

Courage would be in reference to Farore, with it being the virtue that she treasures the most. This would reinforce a religious aspect to Lincoln's position.

Of course, I might have given his sect a name previously that I completely forgot about lol

I know most of y'all haven't read or watched Romeo & Juliet, which is cool because like 98% of the content in & Juliet functions completely independent of the events in Romeo & Juliet, however it's also so weird because it leaves me trying to come up with something smart or funny to say about &J alone meanwhile my brain feels like this

[lazaruspiss]

my sibling is starting to write fic and it's so. like they've been drawing for forever and never seem insecure about art. but writing is still new to them! so the fic isn't working how they want it to. i got to point at their pile of like, 20 something filled full size sketchbooks and go, look, you've made all this art, practiced all this time to be good. and how many things have you written? 3? you keep going! you keep doing it and it will be countless one day!

[yeetle-beetle]

been doing a second playthrough of devil summoner: soul hackers lately and it's really got me thinking about soul hackers 2 and how it compares to the original. idk its interesting because i would say it makes me realize just how much SH2 pales in comparison to SH1 and leave it at that, but i do think that there are some ways in which SH2 follows up on the original and it's not all that bad. a big part of it is in the themes and story stuff tho, like how SH2 takes some of the things SH1 says about the world as a whole and expands upon it a bit. i'll probably make a full post about it once i finish SH1 again but i just felt like throwing this out there

Debating making a roleplay account cause they seem fun, but—

I’ve never actually roleplayed before lol so I don’t know if I’d be good at it.

I don’t know what character I’d try, on one hand I’d like to do one for OCs, but on the other hand I know those are not going to get very many asks, especially since their game isn’t anywhere near finished.

If I did a Castlevania one, that’d also be a very small fandom with limited asks AND I’d be honestly too afraid I’d end up interacting with or running into some specific people I’ve met in the fandom I’d like to avoid as much as physically possible.

Hmm, but anyway, an interesting thought I guess.
