Shitpost!

.

I recently saw a post on pinterest where a pesronage had "I'm a disappointment to my family!" written on his clothes!

.

So, it occurred to me to draw Meliodas with the caption "I'm a disappointment of my father!" .

.

AND OH HELL! IF DK SAW MELI DRESSED LIKE THAT!

.

🌵Enjoy!🌵

P.S.: Couldn't resist and drew Meliodas with a ponytail...!

DATV explaining the 'Regret Prison'

A REGRET PRISON IS STUPID AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING THAT ITS NOT

TL;DR: a prison can serve as a metaphor but it shouldn't be entirely comprised of a metaphor.

From what I understood from what the game gave us: Solas has made a new prison to move the God's too - since bringing down the veil would free them from the Black City. This new prison is separate(?) from the fade or so far removed/contained that bringing down the veil would not compromise it...apparently. We interrupt his ritual, Solas gets sucked into the new prison he made, and the elven gods are free.

When Rook gets kicked into the fade they're physically there - which means it's a physical place in the fade, like how it was a mixture of physical/thought when we entered it in DAI. Which makes sense - the gods are real and living beings, they need to be in a place, there must be some aspect of physicality to it.

Alright, cool, it's a Black City 2.0 - I assume it's better defended to prevent people breaking in/out again?

NOPE.

We get there and it's a 'regret prison'?? It's tied to the regrets of those within it? Composed of regrets??? Solas had to wait for the right moment for Rook to be sufficiently 'full of regret' that they could switch places?

So is the prison tied to Solas's regrets? If so, how can Rook escape? The prison seems to work around the idea that it relies on the regrets of the person it's holding to work - which is how/why Rook was able to be trapped and later free themselves (along with whatever remains of the team apparently being able to do something on their end, not that we hear about it).

WHICH IS STUPID!

Are you telling me the prison intended to hold to megalomaniac elven gods was going to imprison them based on their own regrets? Is Solas assuming that Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain are as self-pitying as he is? They'd break out quicker than Rook did! He made a time out corner for the elven gods to sit in and gave them an out if they reflected on their emotions/regrets or decided that they don't regret what they did. Elgar'nan, a spirit of tyranny, is not going to 'regret' his actions - he is going to justify them by telling himself and others that he knows what's best.

We can come across some of Solas's regrets in the prison if you run around a bit and explore:

Remnant of Failure - talking about the orb from Inquisition.

Remnant of Parting - talking about Mythal

Remnant of Reflection - more vague, talking about the Titans I believe.

So maybe he altered it - maybe he intended the prison to be 'locked' with his own regrets because after a millennia of having a pity party he still can't bring himself to self-reflect and look to the future. But what if Solas died? Or if his guilt lessened - would it diminish the strength of the regret prison?

We already have pre-established lore (though DATV has shown they don't really give a crap tbh) that once the being that has claimed/altered an area of the fade is slain, it's influence diminishes both in and outside of the fade. So if the prison was tied to his regrets then it would require Solas to basically live forever to keep it stable - especially if he brought down the veil and removed the one barrier that kept the world and the fade apart.

Rook and Solas needed some assistance to exit - but it doesn't seem like it was much! Solas used his dagger and Rook just...got out through a fade tear? This is Solas's 'more secure' second prison? It has a worse track record than the Black City! If Rook - who is not an elven god - managed to escape the regret prison what is to stop anyone else from breaking in and out of the prison?

And what did Solas intend to do with the blight - the bulk of which is apparently in the black city?? If bringing down the Veil would free the gods in the black city doesn't that mean that the blight would also be released?! Did he have a plan? Why does he go fully ahead with bringing down the veil at the end if the black city is still there and filled with blight?!

I get it: the 'regret prison' is a metaphor for how Solas holds onto the past and how Rook can move past their regrets and grow. He's trapped by the past - it's a prison. Cool. But this prison is supposed to by a physical place to contain the gods - not just to solely contain Solas. The mission is literally called 'A Cage for Gods'.

The Black City is an actual place that's so far out of reach of anywhere else in the fade that no mage can ever reach it while in dreams - let alone physically, which was only done once and took tremendous effort/blood sacrifices. It made sense - it was cool to see floating in the sky in DAO!

Though it's not said specifically, it's strongly implied that Arlathan is the Black City. You can see in the concept art that floating elven city is exactly the same as the black city in DAO! It's this foreboding thing just lurking in the sky - a constant reminder of the sin that led to the horrors of the blights and darkspawn. A real place with lore and history that also serves as a metaphor for the hubris and destruction of those who call themselves gods and act as tyrants -> for both the evanuris and the magisters.

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS BIOWARE!

WHAT IS THIS KINGDOM HEARTS NONSENSE???!!

She was there, staring into infinity and finding herself staring back. With the stars shining, the painting came alive, shimmering and sparkling and bouncing its brilliance around the room[...] With a gasp, Lily noticed the dots of light reflected onto her dress, her arms, the glare catching in her eye. Like a disco ball, the painting scattered its light. She looked down at herself and saw that she was made of starlight. Who Knows Who Cares, Chapter 17

So there was a post a while back about Ben Solo always being told "don't do (x), that's how uncle luke lost his hand" when he was a kid - and I raise you: Elrond and Elros being told "don't do (x), that's how Maedhros lost his hand"??

Like, at Amon Ereb when the twins were newly acquired and refusing to eat their vegetables and Maglor is Mag-mothering them until Erestor, feral half-sane clinically depressed anarchist Avari hostage/patient/infiltrator and Certified Little Shit, hits em with:

"I would listen to the Lord Maglor, winyamor, he well knows the dangers that come to young elflings who don't eat enough vegetables - after all, that's how his brother lost his hand."

Elrond looks conflicted. Elros squints suspiciously. "Truly?"

Erestor, practically comatose since the massacre but ultimately saved from Fading by the biological compulsion to fuck with you, lays a hand over his heart. "I would never lie about such a thing! Just what do you take me for? This is a true tale and a grave warning - the Lord Maedhros' hand was tragically lost in the days of his youth, whilst he was still growing as you are. He refused to eat his vegetables and so, cruelly deprived of the strength it needed to grow strong, his body started to fall apart! First his fingers, then his thumb, and then his palm and wrist - all turned blue and dropped off!"

"No!" Elrond gasps. Elros looks both terrified and impressed. Maglor's face is scrunched up into something that the twins probably interpret as pained - at reminder of the horrors of limbs falling off! - but is actually just him busting a rib trying not to laugh.

"Yes!" Erestor cries with relish. "And it never grew back. All because he didn't eat his vegetables. Isn't that right, Lord Maedhros?"

Maedhros, a looming terror at the head of the table, scarred and solemn and impenetrable as his fortresses, narrows his eyes consideringly at the unfolding shenanigans and the rascal behind it. His conclusion? Fuck it. He gives a slow, solemn nod. Completely deadpan and exaggeratedly formal, because it may have been centuries since he last had his brothers smothering laughter at political dinners but the Finwëan sense of humour, once caught, is not an ailment easily cured.

Maglor conceals his wheezes behind his goblet as Erestor nods sagely to the wide-eyed twins, who suddenly seem a sight more interested in their vegetables.

Ace Attorney crossover where, in very typical Phoenix Wright fashion, he's neglected to find out WHO IN HELL his newest client is until he's sitting right across from him at the detention center's visitation room, and he's forced to confront the fact that he's going to bat for a murderous clown who IS innocent this time around

Aka: Ace Attorney crossover, but ClownPierce is his client--

I actually think its really funny that the cult members admittedly call themselves a cult and acknowledge they are apart of a cult because secular groups in the real world would usually, not at all, do that from just the negative connotations alone. They tend to avoid that as MUCH as possible actually and they usually prefer just calling themselves by name or something like "religious group" or "organisation".

It's most likely an easily done oversight from the devs to be fair, as much as I see so much potential in this game I dont actually think cotl is a good example on actual cults, even if i recognise some things to be clever by design but then again, just by the way the game treats the word cult It greatly implies that the reason it may be that way is that the lands of the old faith was incredibly secluded from the rest of the world and that the word "cult" has lost its negative connotations and has become more of a day to day life term for the people living in it. Its fascinating.

If i can compare it to something, I like to think its akin to situations where rural areas and towns that are largely ignored by the rest of the world become roosting grounds for crime syndicates because they can remain undetected for a very very long time without being detected by law. Ofcourse, this observation is very very reminiscent of my own overly zealous spiritual rural town and upbringing but i digress.

WOW!!! WIRE YOUR PROFILE CHANGED!!!!

i’m so serious i need these lyrics tattooed on the inside of my eyelids

Also this is a very stupid post but can people not self assign me the label of “proship-neutral”.

I’ve seen a bunch of people be like “oh lorel is PROSHIP NEUTRAL GUYS!!!!!!!!!” And like can you. Not.

I’m not proship I’m not antiship I’m not “proship-neutral” I am literally so far removed from any semblance of this debate it’s not even funny, and trying to involve me or decide where I fall “on the spectrum” very much goes against my boundaries for what I am comfortable with. If you picture the labels of proship and antiship on a line going left to right, with neutral in the middle, then in relation to that I am off in the corner building a sandcastle and running around catching butterflies with my hands

My only “stance” on this “debate” is that I just try to use common sense and basic media literacy. Like, yknow. A normal person. Also I don’t look or even think abt problematic stuff because like. Ew :(

But also just fyi for people out there, if you say ur blog is sfw but frequently bring up problematic matters, even in the form of complaining about them, then you are constantly discussing and exposing extremely nsfw topics regularly to a majority minor audience or audience that can be very uncomfortable with seeing it and you need to be aware of that!!!!

My opinions are the same opinions you would get if you asked some random Joe on the street what their opinions would be. Aka what are you talking abt I’m walking heah.

Tldr don’t label me as any shit 😭😭😭😭 be normal human beings and stop being severely chronically online challenge GO!!!!!!!
