More Sasha in newtopia thoughts: the newt moms

How would Sasha and Yunan get along?Would Sasha be automatically be annoyed by the general, because they are too similar? Yunan definitely would have a problem with someone stealing her thunder. Manipulation wise Sasha could play her like a fiddle.

Although I like to think they would get along like a house on fire (well actually several houses but no one could prove anything...)

All of newtopia is like:

Sasha might even have her own "Mrs. Croaker moment" (she is everything I want to be)

and she would be so nosy about yulivia. you can't tell me you're friends with Marcy and Anne and don't contract "shippingbrain", she is a suspicon island fan after all.

As for Olivia it might get of to a rocky start. A strict, kind of stuck up adult, who values appearances and rules and has a "juice" problem? That sounds a lot like I imagine Mr. and Mrs. Waybrigth. Sasha probably detest her at first but changes her mind over time since, unlike her human parents, Olivia is genuine. Sasha also very likely gets to see Olivia maul a would be assassin with her heels and some hidden dagger at some point and gains a lot of respect for Olivia (Yay. bonding with your mom over shared interests. hidden blades and excessive violence...)

Since Andrias could fool Olivia, I assume Sasha is also able to keep up a facade around her. Olivia would probably be pretty impressed with Sashas diplomatic skills (motherly validation? completely new emotions that Sasha REFUSES to analyse) what Olivia wouldn't like is all the political upheaval her prodigy causes. lots of juice sessions probably...

Seeing an older lesbian couple would very likely lead to Sasha having to deal with some Realisations of her own(I assume she didn't know she was bi pre amphibia) . good for her.

and then Sashas coup...

She leaves Yulivia in the dark. They are too loyal and supposed to be kept out of harms way. This is Sashas one single plan she fails with every time (reunion, true colors) "I know best and they will have to understand"

lots of betrayal, heartbrake and anger. True colors light.

After Sasha went underground we have Olivia cougth between two loyaltys, reluctantly playing informant for Sashas cult/criminal network, despite feeling let down and betrayed but still wanting to protect her daughter. Yunan sees things much simpler and is on the hunt for the traitor. she is not very good at it but there are some dramatic figth scenes in the sewers that reenforce Sashas view on needing to keep people that are close to her under control at all times to prevent situations like with Yunan in the future.

Disco Elysium fun facts

0. There's an entire lore atlas (endless love to the author), although while it has at least some of those facts I list below, it mostly focuses on geography.

And yeah, SPOILER WARNING.

Jean Vicquemare's full name is Jean-Heron Vicquemare. It's literally only mentioned in one line of dialogue below. Esprit de Corps - With an agitated gait Satellite-Officer Jean-Heron Vicquemare paces the jetty, 22 kilometres East -- in Martinaise: "What could he *possibly* be doing there for so long," he says.

Jean was (is) an equestrian cop, as in, horse-mounted. However, I found no confirmation that he particularly liked horses as a hobby-thing. I think "we" in this line meant for "the pair of us", as police partners. Because there are lines in the game referring to other MCs in Precinct 41. But I have no space in this post to quote them. Jean Vicquemare - "For the record, you pressured us into getting it. 'It'll be cool Jean, we'll have wheels, rapid response...' I was fine being an equestrian cop. I hope you're fine driving a *bicycle*."

The actual name of Kim's dead partner, who was nicknamed "Eyes", was probably Dom or something that starts with Dom. At least this is name put on two cases in Kim's paperwork, which you can peek into if you come to Kim's room after the Tribunal without Kim. I assume that meant to happen if Kim was shot, but I theoretize that you could do that by going to sleep and then just going into the room, since Kim magically disappears after you dismiss him for the night and won't be in his room unless you knock on the outside door. Half-Finished Paperwork - This year, you can see references to: THE CHILD, DOM'S UNFINISHED; DOM'S UNFINISHED 2, MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS, and THE MAN WITH THE HOLE IN HIS HEAD. UPD: "Dom" doesn't seem to be initials, because see Cuno (but then again, what does Cuno know about this? Maybe he SHOULD have read it as initials!): Cuno - The boy picks up the notes and shuffles through some of the case names: "'The Child', 'Dom's Unfinished', 'Dom's Unfinished 2', 'The Man With the Hole in His Head'... Boring ass shit," he concludes.

Homosexuality was legalized by communards in '04, which is 8 years before Kim was born. But we all known that society needs much longer to adapt to the thought. The exact details are hard to say. Encyclopedia at least says that there's no actual cults involved. The Deserter - "Lax sexual morals are a bourgeois ploy," he gargles a spit ball. "As to pederasty, the Party legalized it in '04. My Party, not your liberal masters." He spits it out on the dying coals. Encyclopedia - Just pointing it out, we're not talking about some kind of a cult with *members* here, you made it up.

Murder in Martinaise happened at March 4th, '51. Give or take a day. This, so far, is the least important piece of trivia I decided to add. You - "8. Date of death:" Kim Kitsuragi - "We're still going with March 4th, '51."

Motor carriages are controlled by two steering levers, not by a steering wheel. Not only you can see that if you close-up on Kim's Kineema, there are direct quotes about it. Abandoned Lorry - The glass on the side windows is tinted and covered with dust. You can barely make out the shape of a seat and two steering levers. Coupris Kineema - In the cabin you see a set of steering levers, a radio on a hook, a pull-out toolbox and the soft glow of the fuel pre-heater gauge.

I found where from people took "Volta do Mar" as Kim's personal skill. It's something printed on Kim's jacket you can buy as official DE merch.

At some point in his career, for unknown reasons, Kim worked in Processing for a year. They are as bad as he describes them. Kim Kitsuragi - He shakes his head. "I worked as one of these *Processing guys* for a year. They are butchers and clowns. I once saw twenty CODs go misidentified in one week. Chances are slim to none that they'll find anything useful in processing."

The mystery of Kim's glasses. There's one line that says they are "diamond-shaped" despite his portrait. I've seen a comment suggesting it refers to "diamat", as in, dialectic materialism. I think this feels more like a typo, but why would anyone think Kim's glasses are diamond-shaped when they were round from his earliest (and only) concept art? Kim Kitsuragi - The lieutenant says nothing. You see the machine's glowing frame reflected back from his diamond-shaped glasses. You're free to proceed. Truly a mystery. The case of DIAMOND-ROUND-SHAPED GLASSES will stay unsolved forever.

Kim *isn't* a moralist. Present tense. He *was* a moralist once, but since then, he changed his mind. Now he believes in RCM. He embodies the political stance of "all ideologies suck in their own ways, let's just live our lives here and try do to a good job" (which I *heartily* approve). Although some will say that *this* is moralist by itself. Kim Kitsuragi - "Yes. I *did* -- when I was younger. In my twenties I considered myself a moralist. *A blue forget-me-not, a piece of the sky*," he quotes. "They're not all that bad." Kim Kitsuragi - "But the years have changed that. I don't know *what* I believe in now...." He thinks, then changes his mind. "No. I believe in the RCM. That's enough for me."

Harry always wakes up at 7:30. He made a vow. Volition - You got up from this floor because of a holy vow you made sixteen years ago. With *me*. To wake up exactly 07:30 every morning until the day you die. Notably, the morning right after the memory loss is an exception, where Harry only wakes up because of the Kineema. I have a suspicion that if Kim didn't drive to the Whrling-in-Rags, Harry could've never woke up. Never-ever-ever.

The standard role-playing dice in Elysium is a 24-side die. There's a side for each skill! You - "What's a *standard* role-playing die?" Novelty Dicemaker - "It's an *icositetrahedron* -- a 24-sided die that can produce results for a 2-sided, 3-sided, 4-sided, 6-sided, and 12-sided die with a single roll. Technically you can also use it for many other sizes, but you may need to re-roll results."

Trant was formerly addicted to pyrholidon. I think it's implied that his practice of stick fighting, which he does for 4 hours daily for 20 years straight, is a replacement for said addiction. Trant Heidelstam - "Lo Manthang stick fighting is a little like a pyrholidon addiction," he explains with a little smile. "I've been practising it for nearly 20 years now, so you could say that my doses have grown a little… peculiar." Electrochemistry - Wait. What does this man know about pyrholidon addiction? You - "Hold on. Pyrholidon addiction? What an interesting metaphor…" (Study his face.) "Or perhaps not a metaphor at all?" Trant Heidelstam - "You got me, detective." He chuckles, before a shadow takes hold of his face. "But my history should hardly come as a surprise." Authority - Here's a former junkie. I can recognize one when I see it. Mikael Heidelstam - Suddenly little Mikael opens up his mouth: "Dad's fighting with sticks every night after dinner for four hours. He has a special room for that -- and a special costume!"

Trant is divorced and shares custody of his son with his mother. As usual, there's only one line that points at it. But at least it's clear enough. (I give their due to Jean/Trant shippers) Trant Heidelstam - "I sent him home," he responds calmly. "Mikael is with his mother. We share custody."

Judit has been in Harry's task force for only 2 months, imagine that. It probably explains why she's so nice to him. Judit Minot - "Lieutenant," she says with a heavy sigh. "My name is not 'Horse-Faced Woman'. It's Judit Minot. I was assigned to your unit two months ago. I thought we were friends..."

All facts are proven with quotes taken from the game dialogues on FAYDE. No quote - no fact.

Disco Elysium is a huge game, with lots of lore not just about its world, but about its characters... And this lore is split under a bazillion of different conversations which are hard to navigate and easy to miss.

As a result, there are a lot of small facts that many people just unaware of and make up their own stuff instead. The inconsistency irks me a little (actually, it irks me a lot). Love, peace <3

Grey Swan I - Birds of a Rose

The Divine Flock. Some call them crazy, some even dangerous. Some even say the cult is hiding dark secrets. But, in all your life you have yet to find one. After all you should know should there be any dark secrets: you are a member after all! A member, not only of the Divine Flock, but also of the Avis Academy, the best school the cult has. Your life is quiet and follows a strict routine, at least until two Strays from the outside, the normal, world are allowed in the normally so closed off grounds and as a newly appointed Wing it is your job to keep an eye on one of them. With their arrival some of those dark secrets may finally come to light…

You ARE not playing as a BIRD!!!

New demo https://cogdemos.ink/go/3761

Some words before you play and TRIGGER WARNINGS: Most of those will only be active in the game due to a specific choice made by player! Due to the cult enviroment, the “typical” homo/trans/bi/a-phobia, sexism, abuse. Also blood and needles (with the option to be scared of needles so it won’t be shown), sexual abuse (only after two very clear warnings in game). Birds are only used in symbolism, basta.

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Dark Academia.

Moniker for MC: Wing MC.

Genderselectable MC: cis male or female, trans male or female. However due to growing up in a cult, MC wont know that trans is a thing/what it means, this is something MC can learn about. The same goes for sexual orientation: play as gay, bi, straight, aroace or ace, but be prepared for consequences.

Pick your level of devotion: be a devout follower of the teachings of the Divine Flock, reject it partly or wholly, or simply not care. All of it will have consequences.

Choose one of various school clubs, your volery, and get an unique storyline. Ranging from dance to school security, to managing your social media page.

Important people: Your flock, a group of younger pupils you were responsible for before the Strays arrived. You may not be their Wing on paper anymore, but you still hold a special place in their heart! They do miss you and are looking forward giving you a present on your birthday!

Your volery: whichever volery you joined, you are going to met pupils that are just as enthusiastic about your chosen interest as you are! Some more than others.

Your parents. It’s another question if the relationship between you is good, but important it surely is!

Grey Swan II - Hawks and Doves

Unless otherwise stated you are playing as a normal human! Two legs, two arms, internal organs, hopefully a brain too. We will see how much of this organ stays intact after state propaganda, will we?

Someone once said that you were the most happiest youth in the world after the Great Heartbeat, that had shattered the old world. Earlier you would have agreed in a heartbeat, wearing the light green uniform of your state youth organisation. But now? When war has come to Avistrions shores and news reels show only destruction ?

Choose your gender, way of thinking and stance while growing up in a religious dictatorship on the giant island Avistrion. Be a devout follower of the Divine Flock, the only thing that survived the earthquake that devastated the earth. Or be the Vulture, trying to rip it to shreds, while wearing the badge of youth leadership… where will you be when war strikes your so closed off country? Which side will you be on when it ends? Will you even survive long enough to see the outcome?

Grey Swan III - Wisteria Birds

Wisteria Birds (fantasy, drama, angst)! Currently on pause.

You are beautiful, trained in art and music. You are deadly, trained in the unique weapons that no one except you can use. You are dying. Kept alive by the very same thing that keeps you save from others abusing their power over you… You have no rights. But you can do whatever you want, even kill, without having to fear any consequences. You are the most pleasant death that anyone can wish for. You are an artwork. And all you are supposed to be is look pretty, show of your owners wealth. But oh, you could become so much more…

You play as a highly specialised trained entertainer… an Artwork, expensive companion to the rich and noble ones in Aklant, a country with rigid rules and unspoken laws, strict class divide and obsessed with anything that shows how rich they are… or at least let them appear rich. Artworks themselves are outside of this all, freed from all those social chains, but not seen as human… maybe its time to change that? Or leave the status quo as it is, up to you!

Something something p!Scott is the wild sibling in almost every sense. He’s unbridled curiosity for everything he finds worth looking into, he’s brave, he’s perhaps a bit unhinged. Scott looks at the world with a desire to see and know and more often then not if it’s not something he’s already learned the dangers of he won’t bother to be careful. Aimsey is there and she needs help because why else would she have never come back, the hooded cult dude’s boat sank into the whirlpool and Scott was going to check out that mountain anyways. He knows what he’s doing of course he’ll be fine. He carries books and maps and looks upon the world with a wonder for the things he has yet to understand and a determination to learn and use it to his advantage.

Something something Acho is the cautious sibling. Acho is the one who knows how easy it is to lose what you love. Acho believes it’s better to not get attached if you can help it and if you can’t don’t let anyone know how much you care. Stars holds onto everyone of value in stars life as tightly as stars can and don’t let go because you may never be able to get it back. Always be careful and don’t let yourself get burned. Don’t trust the people around you unless they’ve proven they can be trusted and even then not fully, be wary of people you don’t know. Hide what you love as it is the most valuable secret.

Scott excitedly telling Gabriel and Christian that his brother has returned to the isle. Acho telling the stars about how they’re scared to let people know they care. Scott not thinking twice about telling Cleo, Owen, and Martyn he and Acho are siblings. Acho having not told a single soul. Scott telling Acho he loves him with no hesitation. Acho not saying it back until Scott is out of earshot. Scott being the one to confront Acho about stars return because “it had to happen at some point”. Acho avoiding it for as long as possible.

Something about them both seeing how the other has changed. Something about Scott writing about how he will do whatever it takes to not lose his brother again. Something about how when Acho said “No Herons” that didn’t include Scott. Something about them both missing the other. Something about how somethings change and shift and some things remain constant. Something about love.

How?!?!? I always fall for characters like Ferret and Heron so tell me how you have me out here willing to sell my soul for Lion!

Mwahaha! Yasss another convert to the cult of Lion. We meet every Tuesday. BYOB.

No, but really, I’m delighted to hear that! Especially given the fact that you usually gravitate to other ROs. Lion was the protagonist’s love interest in the original novella, and no matter how much I love the other 3 (which I do!), Lion will always be my boo.

Thank you for reading and for the comment!

NU (NUN)

Male and female primeval dieties who the priesthood of Hermopolis included in the Ogdoad, which consisted of the eight gods who created the world. Nun was called the "father of the gods" and was basically an abstract concept: he had neither temples nor worshippers. There is a myth that Tem created Nun as his home and sailed over him each day in two magical boats, one called Mantchet, "becoming strong", the other Semket, "becoming weak". In Egyptian art Nun was portrayed as a frog-headed man and Naunet, his female counterpart, as a snake. He was sometimes shown plunged up to his waist in water, with his arms supporting the gods who issued from his body. He was also depicted wearing a solar disk with plumes on his head. A variant spelling is Nu. Nu ("Watery One") or Nun ("The Inert One"), in ancient Egyptian religion, is the personification of the primordial watery abyss which existed at the time of creation and from which the creator sun god Ra arose.

Nu is one of the eight deities of the Ogdoad representing ancient Egyptian primordial Chaos from which the primordial mound arose. Nun can be seen as the first of all the gods and the creator of reality and personification of the cosmos. Nun is also considered the god that will destroy existence and return everything to the Nun whence it came. No cult was addressed to Nun. The name on Nu is paralleled with nen "inactivity" in a play of words in, "I raised them up from out of the watery mass [nu], out of inactivity [nen]". The name has also been compared to the Coptic noun "abyss; deep". The ancient Egyptians envisaged the oceanic abyss of the Nun as surrounding a bubble in which the sphere of life is encapsulated, representing the deepest mystery of their cosmogony.In ancient Egyptian creation accounts, the original mound of land comes forth from the waters of the Nun.The Nun is the source of all that appears in a differentiated world, encompassing all aspects of divine and earthly existence. In the Ennead cosmogony, Nun is perceived as transcendent at the point of creation alongside Atum the creator god. In the beginning the universe only consisted of a great chaotic cosmic ocean, and the ocean itself was referred to as Nu. In some versions of this myth, at the beginning of time Mehet-Weret, portrayed as a cow with a sun disk between her horns, gives birth to the sun, said to have risen from the waters of creation and to have given birth to the sun god Ra in some myths.The universe was enrapt by a vast mass of primordial waters, and the Benben, a pyramid mound, emerged amid this primal chaos. There was a lotus flower with Benben,and from this when it blossomed emerged Ra.There were many versions of the sun's emergence, and it was said to have emerged directly from the mound or from a lotus flower that grew from the mound, in the form of a heron, falcon, scarab beetle, or human child.In Heliopolis, the creation was attributed to Atum, a deity closely associated with Ra, who was said to have existed in the waters of Nu as an inert potential being. Beginning with the Middle Kingdom, Nun is described as "the father of the gods" and he is depicted on temple walls throughout the rest of ancient Egyptian religious history.

The Ogdoad includes along with Naunet and Nun, Amaunet and Amun; Hauhet and Heh; and Kauket and Kek. Like the other Ogdoad deities, Nu did not have temples or any center of worship. Even so, Nu was sometimes represented by a sacred lake, or, as at Abydos, by an underground stream. Nun was depicted as an anthropomorphic large figure and a personification of the primordial waters,with water ripples filling the body, holding a notched palm branch. Nun was also depicted in anthropomorphic form but with the head of a frog, and he was typically depicted in ancient Egyptian art holding aloft the solar barque or the sun disc. He may appear greeting the rising sun in the guise of a baboon. Nun is otherwise symbolized by the presence of a sacred cistern or lake as in the sanctuaries of Karnak and Dendara.

Nu was shown usually as male but also had aspects that could be represented as female or male. Naunet (also spelt Nunet) is the female aspect, which is the name Nu with a female gender ending. The male aspect, Nun, is written with a male gender ending. As with the primordial concepts of the Ogdoad, Nu's male aspect was depicted as a frog, or a frog-headed man. In Ancient Egyptian art, Nun also appears as a bearded man, with blue-green skin, representing water. Naunet is represented as a snake or snake-headed woman.

In the 12th Hour of the Book of Gates, Nu is depicted with upraised arms holding a solar bark (or barque, a boat). The boat is occupied by eight deities with Khepri, Ra's morning aspect, standing in the middle and being surrounded by the seven other deities.

During the Late Period when Egypt was occupied by foreign powers, the negative aspect of Nun became the dominant perception, reflecting the forces of disorder that were set loose in the country.

A Heart As Cold As Ice

A Gale/Tav chapter fic

With everyone assembled, Carmela put her hands on her hips. "Alright," she said, "so everyone just simultaneously had a strange dream. Did you all meet a figure of some importance to you who begged you to trust them?" A round of affirmation went around the group. "I saw my mother," Wyll said, somewhat mournfully. "I also saw my mother," he offered, matching Wyll's relieved smile when he spoke up. "No shit, I saw my mum too," Karlach said, from where she was perched on a log by the fire-pit. "It was so weird, one second I was wide awake for my watch, and then the next second I woke up in some glittery space place with my mum kneeling over me." Heron started to sign something, and Kassara seated next to him snorted in amusement. "Heron says he also saw Karlach's mum," she said, which drew a hearty cackle of laughter from the tiefling woman as she punched Heron on the arm in camaraderie.

Read Chapter Three here! We've got a bloodthirsty drow fight to the death (possibly the best fight scene I've ever written, if I'm being very humble), treachery upon treachery, secret drow cults, our first glimpse of tadpole induced romance, and even... a fated 'oh no' moment involving feelings...

so the thing that Gets Me about late pale abyss is like

we get hints of a truer-to-pact abyss in the form of cagerattler's story and one glimpse when the trio were in the snowy forest and got a denizen pointing a gun at them (killwagon also conforms to normal abyss expectations)

but the primary way it's seen in action is though maricica's cult and the red heron students.

and it's a fucking drugs metaphor.

you put abyss juice in you and feel great and strong and you do a bunch of harmful things while "under the influence". abyss power tempts you with an Ideal Cool Self you can be so you want to put abyss juice in you to get there apparently. and if you do too much of it then it breaks your mind and turns you into a violent monster who only cares about your next killing fix (kira-lynn). maricica's the dealer giving abyss juice and KL peer pressures the others into putting abyss juice in themselves with spirit surgery and it's like.

where's the abyss as trauma. where's the abyss as societal misery that grinds you down and only leaves the sharp edges. where's the abyss as the representation of the idea that Life Sucks sometimes and there's no quick fix or escape.

it's like a watered down version of that one dream blake had in the drains except so watered down it lacks the context of what material circumstances actually push people to take the abyss's offers in-setting and turns it into "they're stupid and/or evil kids"

it's not like an addiction metaphor is Unrealistic for the abyss. that can go to really dark places. but given the context of everything the abyss was in pact and the wider context of how drug use is portrayed in all of WB's works it's. a disappointing show i suppose.
