That post on here about humanising horrible people like cops and nazis and how it makes you uncomfortable because it forces you to realise that YOU could also be that person if circumstances were different really makes me think abt mother 3 and how shigesato itoi rly seems to understand that.

Like especially the big pigmask general who you would see as any other boss monster and think nothing about beating his ass. It's like no. He LOVES the DCMC to the point where you can distract him with a pamphlet for the band and make him so jealous he forgets to fight you.

It's a pretty funny moment but it's also a theme when you talk to the other pigmasks and realise they're just Dudes. They've been more or less forced into doing this to get a better life sort of like the combine footsoldiers in half life 2 who haven't been augmented yet. (except you don't really meet them on a human level at all. Apart from like. Barney who's a double agent but I digress.)

It's also really easy to hate the big bad pokey/porky because he was already a total bastard in earthbound and he's only gotten worse.

But then you also realise he's a perpetual child who was never allowed to grow up thanks to abuse/circumstances and he took the easy way out by siding with the villain. Never to the point where you excuse his horrible actions but you also understand how he got there.

I know it might be a big request, but can you talk about heaven's hyerarchy in JTTW?? And explain some titles like boddisahtiva (sorry for any typos, english isn't my native language)

I'm a little busy at the moment, but I can give a brief overview as I see it.

The Jade Emperor (JE) is the boss of the universe, but he still has deities over him, such as the Three Pure Ones, of which Laozi (LZ) is an incarnation (of sorts). The novel even describes LZ as the "Patriarch who separated Heaven from Earth"--i.e. the creator of the universe. While technically subordinate to the JE, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas are the true shepherds of the JTTW cosmos. (In traditional Buddhism, gods are still subject to the illusory world of Samsara, while the Buddha is beyond reality since they have achieved nirvana and broken free from the endless rounds of rebirth. In addition, the JTTW universe is patterned after the Buddhist disc-world system, and the Daoist heavens take the place of the Buddhist heavens in the traditional cosmology.) Despite this, Buddhist deities still act ritually differential to the gods. For example, the Patriarch of Earthbound Immortals (ch. 24-26) is so high-ranking that Guanyin mentions that even she has to be respectful towards him.

The gods of heaven are considered superior to those of the earth. Local gods of the soil and mountains, as well hell judges and their spirit-soldiers, are looked upon as "ghost immortals," the lowest rank. Celestials above are "spirit immortals," the highest rank. "Human" and "Earthbound Immortals" in the middle ranks can become heavenly beings if they are given an official post. But heavenly beings can be demoted to lower ranks for messing up. For example, one of Laozi's fire-tenders in the 33rd Heaven is demoted to a local god of the soil below for failing to help capture Monkey when he escaped from the Eight Trigrams Furnace in chapter 7. And a different local god of the soil in another chapter worries that two mountain gods will be beaten and further demoted to small, out of way shrines for unknowingly dropping their mountains on the Great Sage.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Duster what are you doing in pokemon

Personally I think that Lance, Pidge, and Hunk all end up getting yeeted into space with the blue lion without Keith or Shiro in tow in the earthbound Krolia AU. Like, they know something has been going on at the Garrison these past few days that has everyone bustling. Pidge suspects it has something to do with the Kerberos mission, so she sneaks in to try and figure out what's going on, nearly gets caught and ends up hiding with Hunk and Lance...

...the latter of whom think it's a good idea to follow some Garrison officials to see what they're doing in the middle of desert. Turns out, they're checking out the blue lion!

...and now they're on the other side of a wormhole. Oops.

Keith sighs. Alright. Guess one of them is the blue lion's paladin. They're just going to have to go after them. This is fine. Also what was with that vision of Voltron that he saw?

Wait. Shiro saw that too?

Huh. Guess he'd better bring him with them.

[[ It’s been a while since I’ve been on, but all the same —worth a stab at a promo thing to gauge how active/inactive the fandom currently is.

Basically, like, reblog, or message me if you’re interested in interacting with an alt Giegue blog whereby he survives Mother 2/Earthbound, but more than a few consequences to his physiology and powers. Consequences that he’s kinda navigating while trying to balance out an ongoing quest for knowledge and undoing damages done to the Earth. ]]

hey guys wanna see my cyborg chimera fuel au???? well here you fucking go anyways

I had SO much fun coloring this, colors my fucking beloved. Fuel is one of my favorite characters so I wanted to make this. This AU came to me randomly, I made it a few weeks ago with some simple scribbles of his design. Dreamt about it last night so I got motivated to draw this! More about it below.

There's not much to the AU, it's just Fuel turned into a chimera like the Masked Man. LOL. Masked Man still exists here it's just that Fuel is ALSO there now..... 🥲 He's eeuuuhh...? Colonel, I don't know. The Masked Man's right hand man... and a Cyborg Dragon Chimera that breathes fire. (get it, because, his name is. Fuel. get it. do you ge)

more images here:

this doodle is like, OLDER. not as accurate, but hey it's fullbody! a miracle! The metal on his face is like, a mask that he wears to not... breathe fire... idk... they were just added cuz "uhhh cool looking" -me???

I might post more about it in the future. Uhh. Idfk. Feel free to ask me more about this. I'm just a boy.
