#i will theorise all i can

[powermove102]

One thing I will never get over is the absolute lack of information we got about the alt world in S3 of Dark. And the specific thing just so happens to be exactly what I want more information from in Adam's world as well, and that is Noah and Bartosz.

SPECIFICALLY the fact that Bartosz looks a lot more devoted to Erit Lux than Sic Mundus, and honestly so does Noah, leading me to believe that Eva is a whole lot more transparent about her goals and her followers do not get betrayed by her (at least not when compared to Adam's fuckery). Which LEADS me to believe Noah and Bartosz could actually have a good relationship in this world!!

I'm honestly not sure what time period they're in, since we see Bartosz get saved from the apocalypse by himself but don't get to see where he goes, nor do we see ANYTHING about Noah's past, and Silja is nowhere to be seen so maybe she still dies young (or she just doesn't work for Eva).

Checking up on his commission

[sun-archeron]

thinking abt luffy, and how he grew up so poor that if he wanted to have a decent meal he had to go into the forest and fight big, dangerous animals. but at least he was strong enough to be able to fight, while there were people that lived close to him that had to live amongst the trash, hoping to find scraps they could sell so they could eat once during the day.

thinking abt how luffy values food so much, how he always eats as much as he physically can. how he values the people that feed him, that eat with him. whether its a luxurious meal or just an apple they share.

thinking abt how pretty much everytime he saved/liberated a place/island/nation was bc someone from the place had fed him.

how when he actived gear 5 he was fighting to save a nation that its main problem was starvation. and not only that but the food there had also been weaponized to mock them and make them suffer more. and it was fighting for them that he fully reached the form of nika, the form that will allow him to bring down the current government and its system which creates these areas where people starve

also! how in zoros introduction we see him eat something that was on the dirt, partly bc he hadnt eaten in a long time and partly bc someone made it and risked themselves to bring it to him. and how sanji is always happy to cook for anyone whos hungry and absolutely hates food waste. and how these two are luffys wings

HELLO???

[youssefguedira]

watching a video about unanswered questions in totk and it's like. well i can answer these! it's because nintendo doesnt care about the story and overarching preexisting lore that much

[silverspadesss]

actually as much as i would love for colin to turn out to be a cheddar, provolone and fontina are both italian cheeses so it would make more sense for him to be on fontina’s side. but but but if fontina was a noble house that tried to coup house cheddar maybe the provolones were cousins or noble allies of them and they lost everything when the coup failed, leaving colin to a life as a mercenary simply trying to make enough to survive.

maybe it wasn’t house cheddar’s fault that his family went to ruin, but the fontinas who fucked them over or betrayed them after they offered their allegiance. maybe colin’s waiting for his vengeance on lucas fontina, or perhaps he already conducted it, hence the banner flag he was sent being burned

this keeps me up at night btw.

it is literally 4 in the morning and I can't fully articulate this but like. I spent a whole lot of time trying to work out who the "third" in Rise + Fall is (given the 'two works well, three complicates things' rule in Fall) mostly because its the sort of thing that works really well for parallels (example: my insane Hook theory). Obviously there has to be a Third for the Prequels twins (since Soman wouldn't've made it that big of a deal if there wasn't), just as there is a third for the TSY and TCY twins: Tedros is the Third in TSY, and the Complicator Of Things himself - Aric - is the Third in TCY, but there's a lot more candidates for Prequels: you could make cases for Hook, the Pirate Captain, Pan, and Vulcan, from my memory. But none of them really stay around long enough for them to be the third, so I was struggling to pick one out that worked well.

Based on how the Rule Of Three is described, the Third has to be someone that gets in the way of two others, who are going to be the twins, and needs to do a significant amount of Complication. Aric is literally the blueprint for this (potentially also Evelyn, but also not Evelyn, for Reasons). So anyway looking back on it the Third in Rise and Fall is SO OBVIOUSLY the Storian itself and im mad I didn't clock this earlier

It's present through both prequels, where most of the other candidates aren't. It DEFINITELY gets in the way and DEFINITELY does some significant Complication, looking at the end of Fall. If I were to reach slightly, the first image we see in Rise and Fall is of the Storian physically between the brothers, mirroring how it ends up coming between them emotionally, and I like to think that's intentional (Book 2's cover does this as well).

More importantly, there's another part to the Rule Of Three pattern with the sets of twins that isn't explicitly stated, but is consistent between all three: the Third always replaces one twin to form the Two with the other. in TSY, this happens with Tedros and Agatha (predominantly). In TCY, this happens with Aric and Japeth - this is why Evelyn can't be the TCY third in my opinion, since she doesn't replace either twin, and breaks this pattern. in Rise and Fall, this happens with the Storian and Rafal. There isn't really a pattern to whether the Good/Evil twin gets replaced, unless you want to go into some very very very bit leaps ive thought about regarding the whole "was Rhian II evil or good before becoming Rafal, and does that also affect Japeth doing the same thing" thingy but I could not fully explain that stuff ever. There is probably so much more nuance I could add to this if only I reread TSY but that will happen Some Other Time

"What if q!BBH dies when-" What if q!BBH dies NOT RIGHT NOW because it would be really shit that a storyline that has spanned months ends on a pointless note with no payoff for the sake of gratuitous angst :)))))))

[truethes]

he's not part of the team but i do think lu.ochas dynamics with the hqc are amazing. jing.liu "i stand with my cancelled partner", dan hen.g "first character to get invited onto the astral express by him", jing yua.n "i poisoned one of our glasses but i forgot which one" / "with the way this is going lets hope its mine", blad.e "bis healer who seems to be featured now as a bg character with him in multiple scenes - both cursed by the abundance in ways they never wanted" and even ba.iheng / bai.lu has so much abundance potentials ... esp as now the high elder ...

F/O Imagine/Question

Thinking about Adult Online Shopping with your F/O(s). Like, not even searching for toys to use together- you were just casually looking for something new for yourself, your alone time, and your F/O(s) just happen to walk by and get curious. Did they know before you that you masturbate? If not, how do they feel about it? Are they shy about looking at this stuff with you? Do they try to initiate funky time because of this? Are they cool an casual?

Now imagine actually going to the adult store with them XD
