Ok

Toilet Paper book two

Let's go

[animatedjen]

Your Tanalorr video has got me thinking of an AU where Dagan and Bode team up against Cal to reclaim the planet. I know that’s a little inconsistent with their characters, but since this is AU, maybe Dagan sees the value in working with an ex-Jedi and promises to keep Kata safe on Tanalorr if Bode joins him. Plus, Bode is close with Cal, so Dagan could use that as an opportunity to blindside him when the time came (kind of like what ends up happening on Jedha).

Also, I just want to say that I love your screenshots and seeing how passionate you are about this game (like so many of us here). Thanks for sharing your amazing work with us!

That'd be a really interesting AU! There's a hundred different ways the events of Survivor could've happened had characters made different decisions - it's fun to explore "what-ifs" and chase their butterfly effect through the rest of the narrative.

Imagine the final fight in the observatory. Rather than tossing Bode to the side to keep fighting Cal, Dagan traps Cal in a hallucination and instead gives his full attention to Bode: determined, fiercely protective, "You're standing in the way of a better life for my little girl" Bode. Dagan knows what that anger feels like; the council stood in his way of a life with Santari on Tanalorr. Dagan who bled his kyber and raised an army knows exactly where that emotion can lead.

Bode doesn't want another Emperor, but through fear-fueled visions, Dagan promises safety in ways that Cal never could: one young Jedi compared to an elite army with force-trained disciples. When the Empire comes, Dagan will have the power to protect his little girl. That's what matters, right?

(Glad you're enjoying the photos!! <3 And really cool that the Tanalorr video could inspire some fun story ideas)

Cal's so cute. I used the word "baby" in a sentence and he looked up from his nap and merped at me

not the first time he's done that either. he knows that baby means him!! even if you just say it regular style and not talking-to-kitty style

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

I giggle sometimes thinking about people's reactions to me suddenly posting or off-handedly mentioning one of my lesser talked about F/Os or such and they're just like. WHO?? Queue funny mental image of them going to check my carrd to see if they're on there.

I randomly come in and talk about Cal or Ramone or like The Tuners for five or so seconds and then pretend like nothing happened while "??!??!?" Ensues.

[12thperigeeball]

Ok so I missed a lot on last year perigee:

What do you mean by someone wreaked an entire cliffside last year

Hi Anon!

Don't worry about missing things - this was, up until the dual prompt was chosen - supposed to be unofficial. I typically never make things that happened in RP both myself or in others threads canon to the 12th perigee ball, because that would be unfair to people who don't follow my roleplaying blog to stick to a canon that they might not have seen or even want to follow.

The TLDR of it is that a drunk seadweller weaponsmaker, after the ball was concluded, decided to go out with a bang by firing her rocket launcher at the landscape around the ball. Hence, the wrecked cliff.

(You can see a quick doodle of it here)

Again, I normally never make rp shenanigans canon to the ball, however, in the case of this prompt, having an extremely convenient scenario where Kilran would desperately snatch fuschia clown money and sell out just to fix it before the ball begins fit extremely well. Plus, with the dual theme at play, it's easy for us to say that he conceded only half of his design autonomy up for it rather than all, because a 100% clown theme would have to be pried out of his hands than freely given. 50% though? Yeah, okay, if the clownfish can get it fixed before the ball starts then sure, 50% it is.

What does Strip make of Chick's relationship with Cal?

strip is kinda just in shock about the whole thing

like. he loves and supports cal with his whole heart. he wants his nephew to be happy

but chick hicks is the one man in the entire world that he doesnt want anywhere near cal

hes very very very worried and scared for cal, and no matter how hard cal tries to explain that theres more to chick or whatever, strip will never be reassured

god. strip feels awful about it, cal feels awful about it, chick feels awful about it, its all very messy with these three

Seeing myself in photos truly makes me want to die.

Here for the same every week.

Pd: I was scared for the look in the face of Noah :(

My thoughts on Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Official English translation (the free chapters anyway) here

So, before we get to the ‘meat’ of my thoughts for this chapter, Edward is doing good on his part but the mystery is mostly contained in the modern-day part right now so that’s where I will focus on.

I will have to ask, is this something that Edward knew on his own?

Or is this meant to be something Noa did that goes against history?

Are we saying Noa’s Animus has the ability to change the past as he sees it? (Not the real past though but the past that the Animus is loading)

Annnyywaaayyy…

My head pretty much hurt when I was reading the modern-day part because it sorta doesn’t make sense?

This dialogue makes it seem like rejecting the memories would worsen the Bleeding Effect but that’s not what happened to Cal’s father in the film. He went blind because he refused to cooperate with the memories yet there was no mention of how he suffered from the Bleeding Effect.

I supposed the film’s side effects would have less canonical standing than ‘Shimazu’’s words in the webtoon?

Also… this part…

Are we saying that Edward, who wanted to meet his daughter after learning about her, the same Edward who returned to London with her, the same Edward who made a name for himself as a noble and made sure to provide for both his daughter and his son…

We’re calling Edward a deadbeat dad???

Look… let’s be clear, Edward made grave mistakes. How he left Caroline is a big red flag that points at him being a deadbeat husband even if he says he’s doing it for them but the ending of Black Flag shows that he wants to be better, he wants to be a good father.

Edward: Will you stay with the Assassins? Anne: No. I haven't got that kind of conviction in my heart. You? Edward: In time, aye... when my mind is settled and my blood is cooled. Sailor: Sail ho! Coming into the cove! Anne: You're a good man, Edward. And if you learn to keep settled in one place for more than a week, you'll make a fine father too.

And Edward's part in this webtoon is set 3 years after Edward and Anne had this conversation.

Edward was a lot of things but I refuse to believe that he was a deadbeat dad to Jenny growing up.

Dude, don't do Edward dirty like that.

I think this is Noa projecting his hatred for his father but Edward is not the right person to be used for this entire thing.

Hey, Noa. Wanna know who fucked up the Kenway family so badly?

This motherfucker.

The whole Kenway family drama started when he had Edward killed, Jenny sold off and indoctrinated Haytham into becoming a Templar.

For all Edward Kenway’s shortcomings and foolish decisions, I refuse to believe that he was ever anything but a good father to his children and Noa’s words, while I know came from the eyes of someone who don’t know Edward enough and someone who has a very bad relationship with his own dad, still managed to irk me.

At least Desmond had an actual bad dad to push his daddy issues to with Haytham and we can't even really call Haytham a deadbeat dad since his 'lack of contact' is because he didn't even know he had a son in the first place.

I'm just saying the Kenway men (actually, the Auditore-Kenway men) are not the right people to call 'deadbeat dads' in this scenario. An argument can be made for 'deadbeat husband' for what Edward did to Caroline but NOT deadbeat dads.

Now, for the other ‘main character’ of the modern-day era…

This line does not bold or add single quotation marks on the Shimazu so this could mean that she does believe she’s a Shimazu but the boss lady doesn’t believe she’s a Shimazu. Of course, this could also be an indication that the boss lady calling her ‘Shimazu’ with quotation marks was meant to show that she was stressing the name instead of implying she’s not a real descendant of the Shimazu clan.

Another thing… (this is more of a personal thing than anything so you can ignore this)

No.

God, no. Please don’t.

I already have a low tolerance for tsunderes in general, if this webtoon makes ‘Shimazu’ a tsundere with the development being she’d become more and more ‘dere’ for Noa, I’ll probably lose any interest I have in her. Tsunderes aren’t really my thing, especially if they physically abuse their ‘dere’ target which ‘Shimazu’ kinda did using the goons she had with her.
