Actually, re: the soul getting stripped of memories and much of its personhood thing, could someone get turned into a lemure without undergoing that process, in that you would have a devil that still has all of their prior memories and personality?

I presume it's potentially possible, given, say... Zariel, who remembers her time as a Celestial (although she didn't become a devil the same way at all, from the little I understand)

(whether or not anyone WOULD is a completely different question)

Hmm...

Zariel isn't the same as a damned mortal, no. She's an archdevil, which is a different being to the rank and file. Several archdevils are fallen celestials, or rumoured to be. Were she not an archdevil, according to some sources, she would be classified as an erinyes, which are unique amongst the baatezu due to having a celestial rather than mortal origin and tend to look down their noses at the rest of devilkind because of it. And then back in 2e we had Planescape just having them as a regular rung on the promotion ladder: DnD! (There is the question of mortals turned celestials turned fallen, I suppose. I recall Planescape once saying that only the lower planes reproduce via mortal souls, but then there are definitely celestials like Selûne's Shards who are former mortals, so eh. Deities.)

Descent to Avernus has it that Lawful Evil mortals who die on the plane simply spawn as lemures direct from the styx, but that doesn't give them memories (and the styx destroys memories on contact anway). Lemures have sometimes been noted to retain some semblance of their former selves, like their face and a vague sense of loss, but it mostly just drives them mad with pain and grief knowing they've lost so much but not being able to comprehend it. (You can also use polymorph and take the shape of a lemure, but that's not quite the same thing)

If you sell your soul to a devil on the Fugue to avoid judgement then the devil is obligated to give you a better deal than usual, which can include skipping a few promotions higher than the lemure stage (I think that's just 'turn into a lemure and then get insta-promoted though). You could in theory bargain to keep your memories, I suppose. It might just make being a fiend worse though.

Likewise, some deities have deals with the Lords of the Nine may have their followers undergo the process to turn them into devils. These devils belong to the god rather than an archdevil, and deities may chose to have their regular petitioners keep their identities, so I guess a Banite or Loviatan could enjoy a brief stint in lemurehood, a promotion to some higher, more useful rank, and their deity will slap the personality back on if they want their follower that way. Maybe.

I'm sure somewhere in the history of DnD there's been at least one devil that retained some semblance of self. Even if not, it's DnD, there will always be unique one-in-a-million cases.

Isnt it wild how when u look for actual reviews of video games- proper reviews, critical ones that don't just rip everything to shreds bc they don't like it but ones that look at the game as a whole and dissect it, what's good and whats bad and what could be fixed and what doesnt need to be- all you find is shit like. All sex scenes ranked from best to worst. All endings ranked. I got this game bc of thirst traps on tiktok.

(one of) my dream games is a super ultrarealistic city-building game and it's (ideally, though unrealistically) set in america or at least in major american cities.

and i mean extremely ultrarealistic. cities: skylines is like dumb as fuck arcade shit compared to what i want. it may as well be townscaper.

i want it to be detailed enough that it's used by actually irl city planners to simulate their building projects. i wanna be taking soil samples and hydrogeological surveys and flood risk assessments. and i want the regulations and zoning to be really complex and detailed.

and again, i want this to be set around real-life locations. there should be an option for "present day" mode where you start working with the city as it exists today or "historical" mode for some previous period in the city's history or "free play" more where it's just the blank slate terrain and no development.

and of course you gotta manage natural resources and tax revenue and population growth and population happiness and all that.

if you wanna make it ideal-ideal then there should also be a complex political/government angle too.

and ideal-ideal-ideal there should also be an army/military dimension as well. and actually you should be able to play as city, county, state, or federal governments. all simultaneously (although obviously these different governments should also be able to govern themselves automatically so you're not having to micromanage).

I mean I saw M notch collars and historically correct garment construction on the men's jackets in Oliver Twist (1948) in immediate post-war England that was still basically like the set of Oliver Twist but with more rubble and budget of *opens pocketbook and moths fly out* is stunning to me. Modern Period Dramas do better. DO BETTER.

Okay but can you just imagine Bot Experiment!Blitzwing’s reaction to encountering the Omega Sentinels for the first time 

Dude escapes from the laboratory he was being held captive at, offlining dozens of Autobot scientists in process, and thinks to himself “HA! That ought to get the Autobots to think twice about ever attempting to play God again in the future!”

And then a few stellar cycles later he sees these gigantic Autobots being unleashed onto the battlefield and just goes “are you fragging kidding me”

(Boy oh boy, just wait until he finds out about Project Safeguard)

Although Project Omega didn’t use already forged bots as ingredients to make the Omega Sentinels, it’s certainly a ‘let’s make cold constructed war machines that will not betray us good guy Autobots :)’ where some bot is gifted a control code (I can’t remember if Arcee was given it to her to control as her own or to deliver it like a carrier pigeon to keep its broadcast offline) that essentially enforces the ‘please fight for the Autobots custom made warframe’. Under the umbrella of ‘there are no flying Autobots’ what does that make the Omega Sentinels? Autobots making warframes for themselves and loading them with big powerful tech is certainly a memory that Blitzwing would Rather Not and will call bullshit upon seeing a flying tank on Autobot lines.

Introduce Project Safeguard to Blitzwing - especially with the mention of the use of Starscream’s Decepticon CNA - and let’s just say their new sons have to be gently introduced to their new brother Wasp without immediately arresting him.

I just saw a fight between a Captain- and a Soldier Construct IV and two Electric Chuchus in the rain. It went on for at least three minutes. The constructs, naturally, lost.

your scientific researches have made me realize that everyone in this show is either gay or evil or both. (with exception of maybe namphueng, but she was in love with vegas's mother for all we know.)

it's true! the vast majority of kinnporsche characters are either gay, evil, or both - as demonstrated in this very scientific scatter chart!

[for the sake of this chart we are assuming that, u know. mafia is evil. killing people is evil. torturing guys by electrocuting their balls is evil. boring shit like that.]

Total Mutant Mayhem! Who wants see something like this in #MCOC? Blob, the Defensive God and the Pyro, Maniac with Fire in his destructive hands! Let me know what do you think about that. :)

Given both are in the top 50 most-wanted Champs, and have been in many video games, most people probably do want to see this

Just binged the Daphne and Velma series since the third book came out recently. I really enjoyed it! It was a lot better than I thought it’d be. There’s definitely things I would have changed and the writing was a little juvenile in places (totally understandable given the target demographic). There were elements about the setting and the characterizations of the Gang that I found very compelling and would be excited to see adapted or explored in other media. I might write a bit more after I gather my thoughts but I’m really glad I gave it a read. What do you guys think? Have any of you read it? Let me know your thoughts and feel free to ask me for mine. 👋

i was going to ask whether anyone would care for a 2000s-era barbie movie tier list but then i realized i was gonna post about it anyways so look forward to that (and that’s a threat)
