#honestly there's no logical explanation

[randomnameless]

I've been wondering this for a while, but has anyone been able to come up with an in-universe reason as to why the Crest of Flames disappears at the end of CF, or even how Byleth can survive without it when it was basically a replacement heart for them?

My best guess for the first question is that Rhea dying is what caused it to break, but that's blatantly contradicted by other routes where the exact same thing can happen but the crest is unnafected, and i genuinely have no answer for the second one, which is a shame; i really like what that moment means on a thematic and symbolic level, but the logic of it all is very flimsy, even more so if Byleth S-supports Sothis.

Pff

Trying to find continuity? In Tru Piss Fodlan games?

Some people theorised it's Sothis basically telling Billy to fuck themselves and how she leaves the world after the events of Tru Piss - but given how she can have brainsex afterwards with her host it's not really plausible.

Half-joking wise, it's because Tru Piss is Supreme Leader's fanfiction, so Billy loses all of their visible icky subhuman, I mean, Nabatean traits and returns to the state of being a super normal human, without Nabatean parts, and it just works because fix-it AU powers.

More seriously, I don't even know.

Maybe it's the first option (S Support ignored because it's just player pandering) with the twist that Sothis gives up on Fodlan, makes a last "present" to Billy because true to her words they chose their own path, so she "fixes" them with magic but won't stay around, and makes them lose enlightment and her powers because clearly they're not wanted anymore, and she sure doesn't want to support/witness whatever is going to happen next -

even if it totes contradicts the Sothis we have on Nopes, who's all "I'll be back and when I do I'll erase you all" as her death quote, but w/c.

The only thing I can be sure of is, as you pointed out, it's not tied to Rhea's death, since she can kick the bucket in 2 of the 3 other routes and nothing similar happens, so it should be something Sothis herself willed or did...

but player pandering and uwu pandering means Billy has to survive because they have to marry Supreme Leader or Sothis.

Now, a Tru Piss where the crest stone vanishes after a heartfelt (lel) moment with Sothis in her consciousness as she tells Billy she cannot support them anymore, especially after this - aka where Billy dies at the end of Tru Piss, both because they betrayed Sothis but also to fit with the "World for Humanity" and add more sacwifices for Supreme Leader's ideal and a lot of sad uwus resulting might have made more sense, but what is even the point of FE16 if you can't uwu?

Unbelievable!

Phoenix: do you remember the day you got your lunch money stolen in kindergarten?

Edgeworth, who came into school wearing a bow tie every day, was always reading, went around quoting different law terms saying he was going to grow up to be “just like father”, and canonically cried when he couldn’t do origami: which time?

Can't the Doctor just add a call back feature to the Tardis? Honestly, it would avoid so many problems. Tardis got lost? Just teleport it back to the Doctor! Tardis is in a dangerous place? Just teleport it somewhere else! Control your ship man

Dude sexuality is so crazy like. I’m absolutely 100% bi and I consider myself bi and tell everyone im bi because I AM bi. It’s just how I feel! However I’m definitely (by the definitions of the terms) pan by technicality because it’s like, don’t care as much about the gender just ✨ people ✨ but I don’t consider myself pan in any means. It’s ALSO crazier because I don’t like the bi flag (not a fan of cool toned colors) and adore the pan flag but like. I’m not pan lmao ITS SO CONTRADICTORY I LOVE IT

I’m starting to feel like crk is just waiting off golden cheese because they don’t know what to do maybe. It also could be that they think it would be most easy to squeeze main story content between cao and cheese because after cheese I’m assuming it’s when the journey is starting to end. If not I have no idea why.

Yeah I remember one time before when I talked about Golden Cheese, someone gave their speculation that maybe it was taking so long because they were completely reworking her story. On one hand, I’d like to believe that since that seems like a reasonable explanation, but on the other we just simply don’t know the reason yet, so I can’t say

I do also remember once seeing an image I believe from the artbook which stated the order the Ancients would release, and in the lineup it was actually Golden Cheese that was third and Dark Cacao fourth, but as we know that isn’t how things went, with their releases presumably being switched. I half think that maybe it was so that the overarching plot things could be more spread out, as Pure Vanilla and White Lily’s updates would be incredibly plot relevant and Dark Cacao’s would have the whole Dark Choco thing, so with this new order they have more “filler” stories in between. But also I’m wondering if the complete reworking theory is true, of that was the reason for the switch

Yeah I just don’t know her update’s been so delayed either, I don’t know what sense it makes story wise

Hopefully whenever we do get the update they’ll give some context outside of the game as to why things took so long, like a video talking about it or something

me when I want to say something and type out a whole long thing and then decide actually I'm not good enough to talk about this or no they don't want to hear it and ah but what if I'm wrong of course I'm talking from a place of privilege and ignorance and my worldviews are too black and white and

Wait I'm a dumbass the app says fake Chipotle is closed on Fridays. Literally why would you do this to me. What have I done to you???? Were my European Geography fuckups really so terrible you would treat me this way (honestly yeah. deserved. I would also hate me for this)

[aria0fgold]

Someone: *posts about something*

Me: Oh, this reminds me of something that happens often in writing! Let me make a little connection to that because I wanna add on to this since I agree with it :)

Them and so many other people: NO YOU MISSED THE POINT OF THE POST

At long last: either an alternate explanation for or continuation of my prior comic regarding how Bill was ABSOLUTELY naked in Ford's karaoke night drawing. (Because errors in art do not exist. Artists do not make mistakes. So if you see any in this comic, No You Do Not.)

I am so normal about these old dorks.

I'm not really clear on exactly when Bill started throwing his desperation book at Ford just like a needy ex do, but I find it extremely funny to imagine it happening literally the day of or after the makeshift funeral. Bill just gets this weird sense of 'Ford is taking steps to move on' and CANNOT FUCKING ABIDE.

I hope you enjoy all the goofy things I added to each page of Bill's sad spieling. (Everything SHOULD be readable so long as you view the full size, but I have added basically this whole little fanfic in the image descriptions, LMAO, which lays out all the little written notes and such.) Also don't ask how Bill managed to sneak that vampire pen in there. I have no idea, and honestly? I don't wanna know.

Oh, and a little bonus comic:

Of course Bill would take it as flirting. Because between the two of them, Bill is the bigger masochist By Far. :)

Also I have continued applying The Good Place logic to any of Bill's attempts to swear. Case in point, one last bonus image, this time with a motivational line from my slapdash Theraprism OC, EV-01:

Yes, its name is just 'love' backwards. No, I will not be taking any feedback on this. Yes, EV-01 was only ever assigned to Bill's case due to the Theraprism being desperate to make some progress in rehabilitating him. No, it did not work anywhere close to staff's expectations - Bill didn't even appreciate EV-01's matching fondness for bowties! (He claimed the fondness to be "cultural appropriation" and insisted he'd been traumatized by it.)

Anyway, if you like my stuff, reblogs are very much appreciated, and if you really really like it, perhaps consider my commissions or yeeting a teeny tiny tip my way? I am trying to recoup over 500 dollars in vet bills, ahaha... 🙃

In other news, I loved all the fun tags people added to the prior naked-karaoke comic (such as 'the hat and bow-tie stay ON during sex' and the classic '[insert keysmash here]', as well as the many amused/bewildered remarks about how I either made the bricks a piece of clothing or just straight up peeled Bill's skin off). However, I think my favorite thing by far was the several people losing their shit over the fact that I gave Bill toes. Like, excuse me? The magical talking triangle can have fingers but not toes??? Since when was that a rule????? 🤣 (Also the one person who reblogged with the cropped panel where Bill's fishnets pants are falling off to ask why Bill peed himself. Dude, I want to examine your brain...?)

Okie-dokie, I'm sick of looking at all of this stuff now and I'm off to go to work, after which I will either scribble some more goofy "Billford" comics or perhaps draw my lame human!Bill in Situations, idk yet. Maybe I'll even finally draw more than just a single other person's human!Bill...? Who knows, but I sure hope I can mix it up a little and not turn whatever I draw into a month-long fukken project. >:\

I just recalled a neat little fact I forgot to mention!!!

Sonic isn't technically a hedgehog but considering he's mostly made of scales and feathers, those two things kinda combined so now he's got what would actually be solid and spikey feathers but, well, they don't know that. Not to mention that the spines he has are moreso giant shark-like fins that just happen to be covered in these solid and spikey feathers. Tails just figures he's a hedgehog with weird mutations (kinda like he has) and Sonic just rolls with it cause he doesn't know any better and once he does see another hedgehog after getting a good at himself he's like "yeah I do look like a weird hedgehog"

New AU time!!!

I'm working on some art but in the meantime I give you the general plot:

So in this AU Sonic is the god of both wind and water and everything goes smoothly for thousands and thousands of years, until of course it doesn't. I'm still debating on the cause but Sonic gets sealed underwater (I'm thinking either by a jealous god or fearful people, maybe both...? Hmm...) and hundreds of years go by with him stuck underwater. All alone and cramped. No freedom. Was this what drowning felt like? And eventually his mental state deteriorates and he just... doesn't want to be a god whatever caused him to be trapped away. Also still thinking about this part but eventually he gets unsealed and not too long after is found by Tails.

Thing is, Sonic has basically done everything in his conscious and subconscious power to forget and remove everything that made him get sealed/trapped. And while he can't suppress all his godly traits he manages to downsize them (along with himself, which is partially due to how drained and small he felt) and now is severely scared of water. Due to his self imposed amnesia, he ends up thinking he's just some weird mobian and ends up growing up like any ol mobian would alongside Tails.

And lemme tell ya, Sonic absolutely hates having to go super in this AU because it amplifies his god powers. It's basically a subconscious reminder of his godly status aka the reason he got sealed/traumatized in the first place. To make it worse those suppressed godly traits tend to come out more (but not all the way) which makes him even more uncomfortable. The very second whatever fight he's in is over you can bet your ass he's gonna untransform asap.

Also fun fact: This AU came about from me asking myself "What if Sonic was a god and also had hydrophobia? How would that work???" after whatever random train of thought led me there.
