Worldbuilding Nelvauris: Magic

Nelvauris is a world with magic ingrained into its very core. Magic is a part of the world the same way gravity is a part of ours, it is something everyone interacts with and everyone has some form of basic understanding of. Magic in Nelvauris is, however, a bit of an odder concept than you may imagine. The largest oddity is the fact that magic and science are two sides of the same coin, not in…

the difference between till at the start of round 6 and round 7

he doesn't seem like he's trying at all during round 6, having already fully given up living after losing mizi

but in round 7, even though he's lost even more, he's clearly putting all he has left into it

and the reason for that... has to be ivan, right?

he must have recognized ivan sacrificed himself for him, so for the sake of ivan's feelings till tries his absolute best to respond to them and perform that till sings at all here is for ivan

...but at the same time ivan is what haunts him

obviously, right? there's no way watching someone you were so close to you die like that right in front of you can give you actual "strength" (and this isn't even getting into the kiss...) contrary to ivan's (clearly wrong) conviction that till doesn't care enough for him to become a trauma to him, that's exactly what happens

this inextricable mix of love and hate, hurting and healing... this is the tragedy of their relationship to the end no matter how much ivan and till care for each other, they can't ever cure each other

#ivantill #alien stage #alnst #alnst till #alnst ivan #blink gone #i thought it was kind of sad ivan only showed up so far into the vid #then i realized #his presence is right there from the start isn't it #no matter what ivantill will always be attached to each other...#they died on the same day.#ivan really did haunt till for the rest of his life!! (sobbing)#also a note on tillmizi #since mizi is what actually gives till strength at the end #(yknow. by BEING ALIVE. UNLIKE SOMEONE ELSE--#but... his love for mizi is built on this idealistic fantasy... as simple and pure as it is #he still doesn't truly /know/ mizi to the end #so of course that can't be enough either #the way alnst explores 'love' is so... so... So........

he cares so much about them, but he has never known how to show it

and now, it’s too late.

#orion rambles #mephone was the character that got me attached to ii #seeing him this miserable makes me miserable #ive grown even more attached to him since the twist #i love making ocs....it can be really therapeutic to explore feelings through them #so to see a character do the exact same thing was wild #...but the contestants became these living breathing people #who now have to come to terms with the fact they were made to be a fantasy #dreamed up by someone who is lost. and broken. and scared #and now? he has nothing left #but he cared for them. he really truly cared for them. i would know #inanimate insanity #ii 17 #ii movie #ii mephone4

call me crazy but there is a difference between treating your adult players like they are new to the world and treating your adult players like they have the memory of a goldfish and the vocabulary of a 9 year old

#the new players excuse is always going to be a cop out to me #new players can use the codex #or the fucking wiki #inquisition had tons of new players too #it wasnt written like that #its a deflection #also i had to change the age i put from 11 to 9 because i remembered #that i taught 6th grade language arts #and we did vocabulary #and 11 year olds have a bigger vocabulary than what veilguard uses in 99% of its writing #veilguard critical #they act like dragon age is special in its lore depth and complexity and plot #and that they had no choice but to over-explain because the plot is just SOOOOOO complex #when its not unique #every fantasy video game is like this #people enjoy exploring new worlds #meanwhile bg3 throws you into the forgotten realms lore and says learn to swim or die bitch!

Worldbuilding Nelvauris: The Lost Empire

(This ended up way shorter than I wanted) Nelvauris is an ancient world, with a history spanning millennia at the very least. During that time, countless empires have risen, fallen, been forgotten, and rediscovered – but one empire in particular, the one that everyone knows as the “Lost Empire” was the single largest in Nelvaurin history. It spanned the globe countless ages ago, it was the…
