As stated before Rowan is not from Eorzea. Neither is Akari for that matter. They both hale from a community founded by adventurers. One that is pretty divorced from what is seen as traditional.

I mention this as Rowan knew both his parents and both were active in his life. However, due to certain events, some of which Rowan even now is not privy to, his blood father tended to be absent. Playing a part in the rather complicated feelings he has about the man.

It also has effected his outlook and his relationship to others.

He really did not want to leave Papalymo alone.

Something something romance languages being sorta similar

(And yes that might be based in something that happened to me, you may not speak another language but at some point you can tell if they're insulting you lol)

(btw both merde and mierda mean shit, as in "SHIT!!" ofc)

I personally believe it's highly unlikely that Philip had any descendants, but I think it'd be interesting if Jacob believed he was a descendant of Philip. He's already a conspiracy theorist, so it wouldn't be unrealistic for him to have another wild belief that's not based on any real evidence. And he'd have this sense of like, I'm going to expose the witches' evil plans and avenge my many-times-great-grandfather!

Meanwhile if Belos heard that, he'd be like "I like what he has to say about witches, but I did NOT have children, who is this guy".

"Young people have been turned into evil zombies, and we must use our spaceship from the 80s to stop them from replacing us" is a pretty on the nose plot for a legacy sequel

I am a diehard Amir transfem truther, I feel an aura around her

Hehehehe. What if we told you that you aren't the only one to see it?

In the circles I hang around it's pretty accepted that Amir is an egg. The dissatisfaction with her body that's extreme enough for her to want to be a Cephalon, leaping at the idea of editing the parts of her she doesn't like. Maybe even using games and stories as a way to escape from reality...

I see it! Of course, I can't claim to see all of it because A) I'm not trans myself and B) I'm only a casual Hex fan who is perfectly fine with not digging for everyone's dialogue/KIM messages lol. I was impressed with most of the dialogue trees I received... but they're not enough for me to obsess over them. I have a very specific threshold for that. Wink wink 😉

But anyway if you or anyone would like to elaborate and express your love for trans girl Amir, I'm happy to provide an avenue through my inbox lol. I know of instances where transfem headcanons are met with extreme hostility so I hope you don't have to be afraid of that here.

Oh, and I would like to offer this for your consideration:

I've met a few Amiras in my life and I wouldn't mind meeting another 😉

is this a safe space to talk about how I don’t think alice’s issues w barry were solely a “haha my best friend and my wife don’t get along! typical!” trope situation but largely stemmed from the fact that she viewed barry as an enabler of alan’s substance abuse at minimum and as someone who contributed to the public/creative pressure that crushed him at worst

[id: a colored, digital drawing of midoriya izuku if she were a fat black woman. she raises her right fist and flexes with a confident grin, cradled in full cowling. her costume is altered for better function: she has a fullbody compression layer, and her short sleeve jumpsuit is tucked into her knee braces. her high ponytail is tied back with a red bow that mimics rabbit ears. end id]

these are the woke headcanons the conservatives like to tell you about

Something that’s been bothering me, in Cyberverse Season 1 we hear about the Decepticon cause being made because Megatron wanted to fight against and change the corruption on Cybertron

But like, we never actually saw any of that in the flashbacks. Best you can say is Starscream having a high opinion of himself due to being a jet (or at least that’s what I think was going on? It was something about Starscream and being a jet), but you can also assume Starscream’s just being an ass, not that this is a systemic issue on Cybertron. Outside of that, everyone seems to have been doing fine, they got along and everyone was vibing and having fun, going to Cube games and chilling at Maccadam’s, going out to do some racing on a vacation to Velocitron

I do suppose we were limited to only seeing things that Bee witnessed himself, but he was there for other important events before war was declared, we could have seen some more evidence that things were bad on Cybertron before the war and why Megatron and Optimus were so intent on changing things

As it is, it feels more like telling and not showing, and I don’t really understand why the Decepticon cause was needed in the first place. Well I mean I do, but that’s because I know the story in other continuities, not because Cyberverse told me

And if I can pivot slightly, I feel like this is an issue in other shows as well. Earthspark barely went into the backstory of the war at all, only making vague allusions like the “lower-class” remark and Orion Pax getting the Matrix (which honestly I don’t remember why he got at all and if it was related to the war). And yes, Earthspark was about moving forward after the war, but also the show wanted to portray Decepticons in a more neutral light, allowing them their second chances to do better after the war. Not to mention Megatron switching sides due to realizing how far he’d strayed from his original cause. I don’t feel like telling the Terrans the original causes of the war would be out of question, it makes all the sense. Also if we’re trying to portray the Decepticons as not being pure evil, explaining the horrible conditions that drove them to starting it would do wonders. Megatron is here, he can tell the Terrans with all the correct info if the Autobots can’t

Prime also has this problem, but I’m willing to give it a lot more leeway because it was part of the Aligned continuity, which was made up of more than just this one show, and Transformers Exodus I’m told went into this backstory a lot more. So okay, it’s explained somewhere. Though personally, I wish we went into this backstory a bit more in the actual show, because all I know from it was that Megatron was a gladiator fighting for change, Orion Pax met him and agreed, then they proposed their ideas for change to the Senate and it caused them to split. I don’t actually know why they were fighting for change. Again, I know Exodus did and it was around at the same time as the show, but we don’t all have access to Exodus. And honestly it might be the reason the other shows don’t go into it much either, despite it being the only one with an excuse

Like I think this annoys me because it feels like the shows expect you to know the general backstory so we don’t have to go into it. But you’re supposed to tell us this, especially when this isn’t like Batman or Superman’s origins where everyone knows the backstory of the war

I know what the backstory is, but not because these shows told me. It’s because Emperor Kumquat told me in a YouTube video where he was explaining the Aligned backstory from Exodus, while making the point that people who only watched Prime wouldn’t know all of this. How was I supposed to know this information if I hadn’t?

And to go back to Cyberverse, I can make excuses for Prime and Earthspark; both were set long after the war started and Prime especially didn’t have much reason to go into it outside of what it did. But not only did Cyberverse have the means to show us corrupt pre-war Cybertron vis Bumblebee’s flashbacks in Season 1, it had at least a little leaning to making the Decepticons more sympathetic. They are still for the most part antagonistic, but it did make the point that Optimus originally agreed with Megatron, we had bots on both sides getting along during peace talks and Windblade being angry at Slipstream’s killer, had most of the main threats not be Megatron’s forces that had the two sides forced to team up, and by the latter half of Season 3, had Megatron be more heroic, with him saving the day from the Quintessons and wielding his own Matrix of Leadership, and working to stop the other him that he knows is coming to reclaim his Matrix. They aren’t at Earthspark Season 1’s level, but they weren’t making the Decepticons pure evil either. So I feel like we should really see what it is they were fighting for originally

musing about what a translation of the silt verses would sound like and immediately running headfirst into the problem of whether and how to translate 'Sister Carpenter'

DS9 fans are acting scandalised that Picard season 3 didn't include any Deep Space Nine characters. My Brother in Sisko, Picard season 3 barely included any Picard characters.

Oh so we're finally getting into REAL secret of the wilderness now, the REAL reason these women are so fucked up and never could fully open up to anyone else in order to heal. Misty didn't kill Jessica Roberts to keep the secret of tragic but understandable survival cannibalism, it was because they 1) killed these random people for walking in at the wrong time on their trauma-induced insanity ritualistic cannibal society who 2) could have led to their rescue a full extra winter before we know they actually get out 🤯🤯🤯
