Peter Principle?

… people in a hierarchy tend to rise to “a level of respective incompetence”: employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another. Wikipedia

@ my international friends and followers: I'm sorry. We tried. We really, really tried.

I kinda hope Braius gets an origin comic or a short story or something, cause I think the implications of what we know about him are really fascinating.

He's a religious refugee from the Kryn Dynasty. Maybe there's a whole sect of Kryn Platinum Dragon worshipers with their own religious rites and traditions, which could perhaps clash interestingly with Platinum Dragon worshipers in the Empire. Braius mentions the Empire's xenophobia when he's talking to Jester about what happened to him and his family- it's easy to imagine factions in the church had varying feelings on taking in refugees in the first place, and how that might have contributed to him gaining his job at a young age and then losing it and everything over a fairly minor fuck up.

This is pure speculation in that I don't actually think anything in the campaign implies specifically this (I don't think anything contradicts it either, so), but imagine Braius got promoted to head of security at a very young age as a gesture of goodwill towards a refugee population that maybe feels a bit mistreated. A gesture that's kind of empty, because they maybe specifically chose a very young man who would be easy to keep under church leadership's thumb and not actually have the confidence or experience to leverage any power granted by his station to any great effect on behalf of the other refugees. And when a very minor fuckup happens, people within that leadership who didn't ever want refugees there take the opportunity to blow it out of the water and get rid of a few undesirables.

I think the choice to make Braius a religious refugee explicitly subject to xenophobia in the land his family fled to is so fucking interesting for shit that's almost certainly not gonna get explored in any depth in game. It really ads a lot of color and texture to the God Debates if you let it percolate in your brain a little bit.

I just think he's neat. :]

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

Linkle isn’t the SOLE embarrassment of the hyrulean army (she is average)

Hyrule warriors made me realize that linkle is by no means bad at navigating

Because the average amount of getting lost despite having a mini map in Hyrule warriors is much higher then it has any right to be

Like call Hyrule bad at navigating all you want

But Warriors sucks at it on a whole other level

Hyrule is superior because he can navigate through dungeons and the overworrld without a map lol

Warriors and his entire army get lost with one every two to seven minutes

His entire team gets lost every five minutes and loses sight of the objectives at any and all points when that happens

When mini bosses retreat I legitimately don’t find them despite being right next to them

And the cursed golden spiders

I suck at finding golden skulltulas

EVEN with the spider net

Like the entire hyrulean army sucks at navigating

Not just linkle

Everyone clumbs together and holds the map the wrong way not capable of telling right and left apart

And Warriors has to get lost in a very very simple terrain at some point and disappoint twilight

Like he gets put together in the twilight's responsibility group with Wild and Hyrule and they CAN navigate… they run off on purpose

Warriors fails at navigating corners and cries like a kid lost in a very simple maze… he wants to be rescued and gets lost on accident

He is related to linkle

the bad sense of direction is all the prove we need

The chain has him on a leash for his own safety

Mask and Tune were barely more effective in navigating

But at least they have experience before the war of eras

Legend was genuinely upset at warriors for failing something this mundane

Like he can’t even make fun of him for it because of how bad wars is at reading a map

u may ask - why are you so excited for the fast food worker episode? the answer is that I want (read: NEED) to see how these people act in a semi-grounded scenario. lemme peel back their cartoony exteriors and get a glimpse of how they were in the real world. i want to see the contrast between the identities and habits they’ve slipped into as a part of TADC and the previous lives they lived leading up to that point.

where do their current and past identities overlap? where do they diverge? what new behaviors emerge as the cast tries to cope with being reminded of the real world? how do the character dynamics shift? AND what drives a person to pickup something like TADC (an immersive digital experience that provides an escape from the real world) in the first place? I want to know I want to know I want to know

Tajime ran a fond hand through his son’s wild hair. “There are things that you will only learn when the weight of leadership lies on your shoulders.”

“But I’ll still have you to learn from,” Madara protested, looking so painfully young in Tajime’s eyes.

A wry, sad smile twisted his thin lips. “… Not always.”

Something I have learned while reading about magic:

NEVER TRUST AN OCCULTIST WITH MONEY OR A DEADLINE.
