Chelo-
[pt: Chelo-/end pt]
Chelo-: An orientation that is protected by another orientation that acts as its shell. The shell could possibly come up in social situations or situations where one is uncomfortable.
Inspired by chelogender (the gender version). The flag was inspired by two different chelogender flags, this one and this one.

I can not explain how obsessed I am with Chip's first subclass feature being Fancy Footwork and how it ties into his character. I've talked about it before, but just...
It fits him so well. He's a character who survives by compartmentalizing a lot. If something is hard to deal with, or inconvenient, or scary to him, he just puts it in a box and leaves it there. He evades. He avoids.
The reality of his appearance now as an undead? Don't want to think about that too seriously. Stick a magic bandana on that shit and cover it up!
The likelihood of Arlin being either dead or Worse? He literally can't process that thought. Stick it in a box and bury it with false optimism and hope that even he's not sure he really believes.
Accidental marriage he doesn't want to be a part of? He will be faking his death and fleeing and then denying it being real at every opportunity.
Best friend gives him the best kiss of his life? He will be shutting down any subsequent attempt to talk about it and pretending it never happened, thank you!
Like this is just a handful of examples, there are many more. He has to be really pushed, either by other characters or the circumstances, to confront things like this. So the concept of his go-to move being about getting out of Situations like that is just so... it fits him. Like yeah, that's Chip. I want to tear my own hair out at how well he's been crafted to blend his mechanics with his roleplay flavor.
#jrwi riptide#chip jrwi#as the resident rules lawyer i am obsessed with the way more roleplay oriented players manage to make their class choices inform their rp#it's something i am not as strong at so i notice when people are good at it because i am Studying how they pull it off#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

I’m reflecting on cesaire’s work again and one of the little flourishes he does in discourse on colonialism is that he says the west will have to answer for its crimes against the human community. and I especially love this line because he’s using the same bourgeois universalising language that the imperial core so often does (“human rights” “freedom and justice for all” “spreading democracy across the globe”) but as a cudgel against the west, to reframe the human community as all those who lay outside of it. anyway I think everyone should read discourse on colonialism
#I need to brush up on my post colonial reading I’m not as well read as I’d like to be#once I finish my coursework I’ll have more time for reading shit I actually want to read lol#like I’m reading so much stupid bullshit that does not matter for class#genuinely useless theory that I will never pick up again#I want to finish orientalism in particular. one of the most didactic books I’ve ever read#like said’s writing is like every sentence restates his central argument. It’s an unrelenting book in a really compelling way#Interspersed with him talking fine grain shit about a bunch of European intellectuals I’ve never heard of lol#book club

So fucking glad to see someone talk about SSS Class revival hunter 😭 I lived it so much and I feel like no one ever mentions it against more popular titles like ORV or even The Lout of the counts family, so I'm so glad to come here and see your amazing takes :>
Thank you for the ask which lets me talk about SSSCRH (the version I read was titled 'Suicide Hunter', which tbh I like more - no beating around the bush).
It's hard to draw an accurate comparison since I'm going off just the webtoon for SSSCRH, while I'm going off both the webtoon and the webnovel for ORV. And I love ORV, ORV is my media blorbo right now, it hydraulic presses my brain, I am writing ORV fanfic - it's, like, funner to enjoy. But SSSRH is just better. In the vast majority of ways it is is better. It's better than the holy trinity by a wide margin. TW talk of suicide obviously.
I can't believe I'm saying this but you need a basic understanding of Buddhism in order to understand SSSCRH. It's not about Gongja's suicides - he doesn't suicide from depression or lack of self-esteem. SSSCRH is about suffering in the Buddhist sense - dukkha. I don't want to make this an essay, so I might reblog this with more information, but extremely shortly:
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism is the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering. You've heard that Buddhists say 'life is suffering'. To put it one way that doesn't require defining a lot of words: the cause of suffering is experiencing the world as we percieve it instead of how it truly is. Suffering isn't just being miserable and in pain, and life isn't suffering because life sucks and global warming exists and people voted for Trump. Life is suffering because we can experience beautiful and joyful moments in this world, but we do not exist in the moment of that happiness or place our ego/'self' between us and that happiness. Living in that moment, accepting the moment as it is unconditionally, is freedom from suffering. The Buddha tries to free people from suffering through teaching Buddhism.
"What does this have to do with the webnovel and manwha about a guy murdering himself thousands of times" it has everything to do with it. Because SSSCRH is about suffering, and it is about using suffering as a tool in order to experience a world unfiltered by ego and break down the artificial boundaries between human beings. Suffering in SSSCRH is not a bad thing. Gongja has the unique capability to (reincarnate.) experience a person's suffering in unity with them, which dissolves the delusion of separation between people and puts us in touch with the reality of oneness.
The Murim arc was fucking insane because Gongja pulls a Big Bodhisattva Move and walks through the suffering of the world in order to achieve full understanding of the human experience. He takes all of the suffering of the world into himself and is liberated. You can tell it's Buddhist because death was not presented as a bad thing - death was an aspect of a happy ending for the Heavenly Demon lady, because she was finishing her life according to her own joy, and because her teachings were passed on she did not truly die.
But the purpose of embracing suffering is to discover the ability to fully embrace life, and that's where Heavenly Demon's teachings were incomplete - as the ghost dude said, Gongja hasn't even experienced his own full life and the infinite capability for his own happiness. You can only feel the depths of sadness when you've felt the depths of happiness. Sadness deserves its place in the world and it can strengthen you, but so does happiness.
Gongja is attention-seeking, envious, and unbelievably petty. When he drills down into his own desires and why he wants the things he wants, you see that he has a very strong sense of justice and right and wrong - he realizes he doesn't want to be famous, he wants to be acknowledged, but on an even deeper level he is desperate for love and to be loved. Everything he does is to experience love, and as such he learns to love others. His love for the Flamey Asshole was purely parasocial and ego-filled, with no concern for who he was as a human. Throughout the manwha, he grows to care for people as they truly are and pierce through any delusions or misleading outward appearances. He has released all attachment to life and death, and as such does not fear death, and as such has taken a step on the road towards becoming a Boddhisatva who frees others from the cycle of samsara, and as a result has learned sick sword techniques and is sooo good at beating people up.
I think the only other thing I want to mention here because otherwise this is an essay: in almost every time loop/regression story, only the final regression matters. In stories with dungeon monsters and NPCs, only the humans matter. The regressor exists in a space where there are no consequences for their actions, so they act terribly and do whatever because none of it matters. In Groundhog Day Bill Murray acts like an asshole because he can. That's not the case here. Everything Gongja does matters. The NPCs are fake, but Gongja never treats them as anything less than real people who deserve life. Once he understands a person's life he never treats them as unimportant. No loop is thrown away and no person or life is disregarded. His choices matter, the way he treats others matters, and Gongja never treats anybody as if they don't matter except for himself.
That was not short. There is a lot more. The female characters are so good and so rich. From a craft perspective it is excellently paced and has a wonderful sense of set-up/payoff and balances tone and maintains a lot of momentum, which is really hard in a time loop story. You have to do a few very specific things to write OP characters well and SSSCRH does it very well. There's more to say from a craft perspective and it's hard to judge accurately from a webtoon but it's good. I was so strangely struck the entire time about how sincere and genuine it was, how it said what it said with no trace of irony of confusion, and I think that's what stuck with me the most.
TL;DR: SSS Class Revival Hunter is good for a lot of very normal reasons, such as excellent pacing and set-up/pay off and characters, but it's also so sincerely and genuinely Buddhist that it blew my tits clean off.
#sss class revival hunter#kim gongja#ssscrh#I s2g I rewrite these like three times to be as short as possible#I just knew I had to define some terms because if I say 'it's about suffering' and leave it at that#people aren't going to fully get it#its not intuitive from a western perspective#It's really hard to get the full meaning of SSSCRH if you have no familiarity with Buddhism#bc suffering (and delusion and nothingness and oneness) mean diff things in buddhism than in english#theres other buddhist stuff like responsibility to the whole and the community but this was long enough already#the few ppl talking about it have good takes but I think ppl miss how#kgj isnt depressed and he doesnt kill himself from self-sacrifice#he's not kdj or cale#he only truly commits suicide (throws his life away) once which was from part percieved worthlessness of his own life#and big part EXTREME FUCKING PETTINESS NEXT LVL PETTINESS INSANE PETTINESS#every other time he kills himself is from his EXTREME goal oriented behavior#as usual there seems to be a dialogue with the rest of its genre#specifically the extreme egocentrism and selfishness of its genre and other OP protags#(which cale has a hilarious relationship w/)#(ur doing amazing honey i know this upsets you)#my asks#and theres also a conversation with buddhism itself anyway#i love orv but this is so much better on so many levels and its being slept on smh#nobody is going to read this its way too long but you know. its not ABOUT you.

How would Riz give bardic inspiration in your class swap au
motivational speech
#not art#fh class quangle#actually I really like that thing from canon where every bad kid is like yeah riz has it super together hes the most competent of us#when its literally just that he has a freelance job lmao#but I love to see that in the case of a bard too. the most competent and on top of it person you know tells you you're doing a good job#that and the other thing is that riz is just incredibly shrewd and detail-oriented And he does know enough about his friends by now to#tell them what they need to hear in the heat of battles. this is fun bc it means his bardics would have to work#at least slightly differently with people he doesn't know as well. honestly I imagine theyre straight up less effective#I think when I described this before in the tags of some post I said he's like someone with the megaphone at a picket line lol#its kind of the vibe I want his bardics to have

I decided to make versions of the xenor flag with less stripes, so....I hope they turned out well.
Definition:
• Xenor or xeno-oriented is an umbrella term covering all orientations that involve attraction to sapient targets that are not other humans currently incarnated/living in this continuity/world. This covers many orientations, including objectum, ficto-, auto-, medusan, terato-, anthrotherio-, spectro-, etc.
Link list: 1 | 2

im a firm believer in the powers of character creator will guide my hand BUT ive caught myself thinking a lot abt making my Rook a dwarf. i simply think dwarves are owed an apology for whatever the hell the Evanuris did to the titans and if Varric's goal is to find someone Solas will overlook, well, he sure does overlook dwarves, to understate it
#dragon age#idk about class yet but mage gameplay looked kinda meh ill be honest. i will def try out spellblade at some point#but the more action oriented gameplay speaks more rogue/warrior to me... i want those perfect parries...#that said i really dont know how are ppl designing and drawing their Rooks already.#my brain is just not built like that

Obviously, DnD characters are wish fulfillment and lots of people don’t want to address the slow senescence of the vulnerable human form in their fun games. That being said, narratively, I do think that levels should probably fluctuate over the course of a lifetime. The level twenty world-saver is going not going to stay level twenty into their old age—that’s not how athletes and retirement work! Wisdom and Charisma casters maybe, but your STR/CON/DEX builds are going to soften with age. They might still be the spryest bastards in the old people tai chi group, but “terrifyingly in shape 70 year old” is not the same as “deadliest man on the planet”. Drop those old folks a few levels, give them some creaky bones and presbyopia. It’s good for them, promise.
#slamming a stick into the ground like the pope ‘MORE WIZARDS WITH MINOR COGNITIVE DECLINE’#old washed up bards and barbarians who had to get a hip replaced#the only classes that are probably immune to it are druids and clerics#based solely on the power of very old gardeners and priests#they’re probably good until they start losing 3x oriented#but even monks I I think have the right to take an arrow to the knee#the other aspect of this is differing lifespans which mean that when parties do get back together for a reunion tour#there are incentives to keep them apace with their peers#and the format of dnd means that the only other time most people see their old characters is in little cameos when friends gm#and no one wants to nerf their friend’s baby#but with in the era of more experimental actual play and game design#I think we can move past these hang ups and give the people what they deserve#old rogues with arthritis who are still really good but won’t stop complaining about their glory days

Some screenshots I took for omnic references while looking around in some maps.
#text#There's more screenshots I took but I can't upload them for some reason?#Anyways it's very interesting to see a class disparity between omnics. Something I noticed with Midtown is that they changed a lot of the -#- poster assets in the subway during the beta with different ones (I'll try to find some images later)#And obviously things change and it's obviously the beta but a lot of the replaced ads were omnic oriented.#I'm really curious to about some of the omnic statues in the monastery - especially the one in the first pic.#Forever wondering if the dev team will ever address that room in the Paris map at some point (or if it relates to a certain character)#Also Thespion 4.0 seems to be constantly changing in terms of design in every poster he's in.#I can't type consistently I have a new thought every sentence I finish - my bad lol.

it's crazy to me that there are people out there who still think that media and fiction do not affect how people think at all
#like that whole 'does fiction affect reality?' debate is so stupid to me cuz it's like#i mean just think about it for a second. what is propaganda? what did jaws do for people's perceptions of sharks?#i think studying the effect that popular media and fiction has on people in real life is really interesting#and it's crazy to me that there are people on the internet who think that it genuinely doesn't#like umm shoutout vit sisler for his paper 'digital arabs' i just read it for my game studies class and it's super interesting#about like orientalization how western shooter games' usage of middle eastern/muslim stereotypes as enemies created both a negative -#- stereotype for people who arent in that group and how it negatively affects the mental health and self-image of the people who are#also shoutout stuart hall and richard dyer they're really cool people and also have some super interesting papers on how representation -#- in media affects people's IRL perceptions of certain groups#i know online this focus tends to lean on that whole shipping discussion but i think it's more worthwhile to look at it on a wider scale#because 'does fiction affect reality?' is not just a 'fandom ship war' discussion it's like. the basis for many fields of study#anyways umm#liza post#actually this is more like a#liza ramble#i love tumblr bc i can write a one sentence post and put my body paragraphs in the tags#it's really late and i am tired ‼️ i wish i could be more concise i just adore my game studies class and visual culture studies in general
