not really a ramble and more of a brainfart but i really do find it interesting how mercy is,,,really really similar to both ajax and fox, the two girls she replaces in the roll-calls. Like ajax she is very confrontational, quite aggressive, and quick to defend and fight, but like fox she is also quite insecure in her standing and worth in the warriors and is very eager to prove herself to them. and in my opinion, the former makes fox entrust the warriors to her in reunion square, and the latter makes ajax trust her in sick of runnin'. I dunno what this all means but um yea I just find it neat that she takes after the two characters that really got fleshed out the most compared to their movie versions!

Am I the only one who thinks it's fucked up that the Mortalitasi are parading about King Markus's corpse...as opposed to letting the next in line rule??

He's alive in DAI - old, but very much flesh and blood - and we know this because the venatori use blood magic on him to get him under their control. So, what is he in DATV then? Are they implying that he's a lich? That he still has his mind? That they've got a spirit in there?

What do they gain from this? Cassandra's, what, 64th in line for the throne? So there's a bunch of potential heirs just hanging about -> potential heirs who want the crown because we know that Cassandra's parents were executed for trying to overthrow him.

Cassandra may not be fond of her family, but I can't imagine her letting this slide. This is the type of shit that gets an Exalted March called down on you! Especially if she's divine?! Nevarran's can be 'death-focused'* yes, but they let the living rule and not the dead.

It's their belief that when their soul passes through the Fade it results in a spirit being displaced - so they have the Mortalitasi find the spirit a new home in the Necropolis. That is their job - they maintain the Necropolis and, according to DATV, sometimes deal with awry magic.

The potential relation to a Divine or the Head of the Seekers, the King of Nevarra, is having his corpse puppeted about by a mage...and no one seems to care?!

Is this not super fucked up to anyone else?!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit - I put this down in the tags but I think it's important to point out: In all the previous games up to this point not once has a mage, manipulating a corpse like this, ever been portrayed as quirky or funny. This is not the norm of what the Mortalitasi are supposed to do - they honour the dead they do not puppet them.

Thedas is a world very strongly intertwined with faith, especially the Chantry. It is Nevarra's attitudes towards death and their burial practices that distinguishes it from other Andrastian nations - they still have the Chantry, the Templars, and the Circle of Magi just as the rest of Southern Thedas has.

It's impossible to imagine any Divine (Leliana, Cassandra, or Vivienne) hearing of this occurring and not taking action against this. It's extremely strange that Emmrich bemoans that half the nobility know this has occurred when this action should be seen as nothing short of an abomination to the faithful - including Emmrich.

"i dont see what ppl see in the lore its so boring"

shuffles my feet around, most ppl talking about the lore are exclusively talking about love nikki and shining nikki, the two games most ppl started the series with and have been around longer so theyve had time to explore their stories

now granted im assuming this person has only played infinity nikki, if not then hey not everyone is gonna like/care for the lore thats just how it is with video games

i havent spent too much time with infinity nikki bc i move at a snails pace and only play a little bit at a time so i cant say much on its lore

but these games tend to slowly move towards the more out there lore ok you gotta wait like a year before someone dies off

its also a gacha game so ur not getting all the lore at once ok they gotta have reason to keep ppl coming back and playing

Shoutout to me being a dumbass and not realizing the wiki has Eigong's logs...ah yes I am smart.

Anyway, idk if this is anything, but I view Eigong having a rhyzomatic stabilizer(?) thing™ on her head with Yi's on his chest as a lil' symbolic. I can't articulate it fully rn because I'm tired, but it reads as a physical manifestation of Eigong's descent into madness and obsession with immortality. Like...she probably implanted those roots herself, judging by how they're not there in her younger image. She views Fusang as a means to an end (esp with infecting it with Tianhuo...the mutated part she retains in her last stage is right on her Fusang roots).

Meanwhile, Yi was 'chosen.' He was saved by Fusang and has the stabilizer implemented right over his heart to aide the roots (as I see it). Imho, a manifestation of his heart being in the right place...?

i’m so pressured with improving myself as an artist and it’s making me lose it because i’m not even doing art for my career but i love it so much. Like i kinda feel useless doing it sometimes, especially since i see other artists and i know damn well i will never achieve that level and im not saying this for people to feel pity but idk i feel like my art style doesn’t fit tr.???3! or like idk. Sometimes i’ll literally cry because i feel like my art style doesn’t fit rindou and she’s literally my muse, she’s the reason why i get so excited to sit down and draw everyday yet i feel like im just stuck sitting somewhere where i can’t do anything special to show my love for her and it sounds silly.. bc that’s a fictional character but still, ive liked this character for so long and i see improvement just from drawing rindou non stop but i still feel like im just barely touching the surface of improvement. Also i feel like i care too much about what others may like vs what i want to try and draw.. i want to draw her raw and literally how i perceive her, her character, her body, every single aspect of her and why she’s so important to me. Yet i can’t do that because i get so scared of the outcome/how my artwork looks/ how others will perceive it. And im not saying im not happy with my art, i am but there’s just ways i want to do it i feel like wont stick out to others which scares me or it will seem ooc of rindou. literally because of this i always have the urge to delete my account and restart and continue doing that till i feel like i perfected her yet i dont think that’ll ever happen even with how much love i have for that character

Thoughts on Whit Young?

Ah yes best Despair Time boy is here.

Whit is such a good character because at first glance I wasn't sure if I was gonna like him because of the whole love thing, but then it turns out Whit has a massive sense of humour and a love of puns. Is it any other reason he winds up as Emma's son in A Student Out of Time?

But like any good character its not just the laughs as a funny go happy character will last through the first few chapters but when shit gets serious, expect them to die, but Whit can have serious moments which makes me wonder if he's gonna last a lot longer. First up, he's the reason why Charles decided he didn't want to be a member of the Arsehole Quadant, as by standing up for him in Chapter 1's Class Trial, it opens the Chemist up to the idea that teamwork is essential if one is to survive. You don't have to necessarily like somoene but just learn to tolerate and co-exist with them.

He also can read the room and know when something isn't apporiate to say, as while he got David's secret, he didn't say it at first because he was worried David's reputation would tank but when he decided to self-implode anyway, that's when Whit spoke up. Also whenever Charles goes with his lack of tact, its Whit who tells him that it might not be the best approach. In a sense, he's Charles's minder.

But there is reasons to be concerned about him, as we know that he is very much in denial his mother is dead, and he also has a suspecious amount of knowledge on how people can die via hanging. As when everyone was trying to figure out Arei's cause of death, Whit is the one who goes into graphic detail about hanging. While this is a good sign that its more then just the usual suspects contributing to a Class Trial, the fact he knows is a concern. Is it because his mother killed herself via hanging and Whit happened to walk onto that. He was quite quick to make a joke about Arei's death which for someone like him is very out of character. Unless you are suspecting he's trying to not think about his mother's death which Arei's demise reminded him of.

Of course, I can't talk about Whit without addressing the elephant in the room; the theory that the mastermind is Whit Young. Now there is a good deal of evidence and masterminds historically are always who you least suspect to be one, but at the same time, I think Chapter 2 is too early to say if someone is the mastermind. After all if Whit ends up dying in a double death in Chapter 3 (sorry Bubbles I know you hate this cliche but fangans can't get rid of it.) then it kinda throws him being the mastermind out of the window.

I will however say if Whit does become twisted, at least in the ASOOT!Despair Time, you could say Tsumugi did that on purpose to torment Emma.

Overall I like characters who are jolly and fun but also know when to shut up and become serious as this normally means they can last a bit longer. However I fully expect Whit to die a miserable death because hardly any of my favourites survive these games so I just expect them to die.

Can't be dissappointed if you knew they would die.

for all its faults and eccentricities, the fast and furious franchise could've turned out so much more pro cop, misogynistic, toxically masculine, white washed and unfunny than it did. the fact that it does get laughs, goes around the world, has pretty diverse casting, some okayish criticisms of policing, and like, not bad messaging about the importance of love, connections and family? i'll take it

[fedoraspooky]

What? What's that?

There's stuff happening at tumblr?

Oh no!

Anyway,

[supersecretnerd]

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean

I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch
