#She's going to have to get DNC as a canon class

I’m still not sure if I want Strikey’s dnc to be a canon class for her? All her other classes -- blm, whm, war, and nin -- are all canon with large swaths of Triptych rp devoted to how they intersect with her character and the larger plot. I’m just not sure there’s time to make her a dancer as a class, save for maybe traveling to Thavnair in EW? But then the events of EW are pretty knit together, and idk how we could fit it in given the whole “final days are approaching” sort of thing.

There’s also the fact that the dnc quests are ... they’re not bad, but they feel a little contrived? “We needed a plot for this quest line”? I could potentially fit them in with the 4.x or 5.x patches, but that’s a bit awkward given how we usually have additional plots going on in the patches. Hmmm. Aesthetically the class fits, and I’m pretty sure her non-xiv incarnation was a dancer/singer, but I’m mostly just worried about story integration.

She’ll be swapping to blm for 5.0, which is a long time coming -- she had her black magic stolen away in Toto-Rak in ARR, and has been desperately searching for a way to get it back. It’ll be fun to deal with All of Shadowbringers while she’s readjusting to a class/way of fighting that used to be as easy as breathing to her.

Letter to Daughter

here are the 3 cracks for the light to get through. 1. Warren is red carded.. just the symbolism - the irony- given a red card by the red baiters. Liberals think they are protesting over the past two weeks. My ass. The woman’s march was a protest. Warren was making this speech unbeknownst to the broad based progressives- which might vary a little from true progressives. None the less. Warren might get in the fight this time with a win over Trump in 4 years. Otherwise I fear the Democratic Party is heading right down suicide lane with the old guard still holding up. They are currently having a ridiculous no problem “discussion” for the DNC chair. The neo liberal Wall Street pandering identity politics dopes. This crack opens all the way with ironies such as the Pipeline at Standing Rock being approved to little fanfare. The liberals are SO ridiculous. They have no staying power and in  fits and starts of relativism, are loyal to nothing. So you have an Indian in Washington getting the ire of the ultimate White, pasty white Republican. Irony 3- the man at the gavel was from South Dakota. Reeks of cowboy and Indian Manifest Destiny DNA. Big crack. 2. Neil Gorsuch upbraided Trump even before his nomination goes forward. Why? Even though he didn’t need to, just like Mitchell didn’t need to stop Warren- a crack is opening. Gorsuch knows that Trump may need to be stopped. He’s just way too loose a canon. I’m sure his wife told him in no uncertain terms she does not like the man and by God he better not condone one inch of his rhetoric. In that household words matter. Putting aside his sex life she is probably got a thing or two to say about how to deal with the politics in relationship not to mention country. Not saying he would vote anyway but bloody rotten- but (big but)- the courts are always first and last to go in a revolution. I don’t think the world could survive a complete anarchist blowout in America. I don’t know that; but it would recover faster from some thing in between; a retrofit. Good Lord. Just so you know I don’t endorse Gorsuch one iota. His Mother was truly evil and talk about spawn. She was anointed to blow up the EPA ( by Reagan) and got caught cheating by what back then amounted to humility paying forward hubris. Unlike most Liberals I count all family values. And she had none as far as politics went. 3. This one will be harder to swallow. Ryan. He’s a bit of a wild card, an unknown. Its very interesting what he said in an interview on PBS. Unremarkably he “admitted” he was not a relativist. I doubt it! But what that means is he sees himself as a non relativist- a firewall to “liberalism” and identifies egoically that way. What that also means is he will fail to exercise power when you would least expect him to fold. Good thing. But he could take a lot of other pins with him if he does fall- even if its just the 7/10 split in the 9th frame. And quite frankly he can have some of the neo liberal centrist disloyal know nothings with him. In other words he would give cover to many middle class haves (vs have nots) that need to go progressive (who identify with Republicans or are staunch fiscal conservatives who think social liberalism is a luxury they can afford! assholes) in spite of their own greed. Its just like a crack- the light gets through for the unclean. So how does it all fit together? Hokey, I know, but there was a 13 mile crack that opened up on the Antarctic ice shelve this past week. The water will come in and calve the frozen politick into new alliances. And the water washes clean that leading edge before they float off their disparate way in what down there amounts to................. - wait for it- spring. So this doesn’t lift you up as it shouldn’t. A fourth one would actually bring you down. Don’t want that either. DeVos “in” means Trump will solidify  his own secret service - her brother. But God Forbid - that won’t actually be a trump card so to speak. Push comes to shove - he gets yukered on that front. That is truly dystopian. The crack is actually a patch. She will galvanize all women to hate charter schools. Galvanize unions to fire the howitzers. And like Gorsuchs Mother be so corrupt have to fall on her own pointing stick, bringing down one shard of evil - a patch for sure- evil is far and wide- but shrivels pretty quickly when it comes to children. I feel.
