I don't generally hang out in the Dr. Ratio tags, so I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it tickles me every time I remember it;
did you guys know Dr. Ratio actually had an in-game cameo before his big debut in 1.6's The Crown of the Mundane and Divine? He was actually in the 1.5 update, The Crepuscule Zone aka Fyxestroll Garden Event!
So in 1.6, we get to actually meet Ratio face-to-face partway through. But even before that, we unknowingly talk to him through text messages in the researchers' group chat.
We know that this is Ratio's username, because we have his achievement:
And in 1.5, we have just one (1) single instance of this same username on the message boards...
Dude's been trolling since before he even showed his face BSKZJDMSKMSNDN
"Where's the part where he turns out to be lying and there's no HL2VRAI?"
Congratulations, you figured it out. You know all my tricks.
The student becomes the master.
Master of shit.
It was HLVRAI the whole time!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
partway through the stream i had the passing thought of "wouldn't it be funny if at the very end hlvrai was mentioned as some kind of twist?" and. well.
"Alright and then my last question on the celebration because we are huge fans of this—maybe the greatest establishment of all time—how was the party at E11even?"
"From what we remember? Yeah. You know, that whole week was crazy."

"The next day—"
"Still haven't slept?"
"Still have not slept. That night I probably got an hour of sleep. Maybe 2 hours. The next night was the boys night in Miami. So we have dinner at Catch—which is... what a great spot down in Miami Beach! And then we go to E11even. And E11even put on one of the greatest parties I'll ever go! I don't know if I'll ever go to a better party!"
"Big Dog's there? Pitbull?"
"I can't remember! But it was—I remember. It was incredible! Like it wasn't even like guys were going crazy. We've been drinking for 3 days straight so you're already in the pocket! You're just enjoying all the fans and like the night that they put on for us was like—it was incredible! We own the place basically! It was so fun! A night I'll remember forever!"

and just for prosperity sakes monty and swaggy had public signings at hollywood collectibles on the 29th and even 2 days after the event™ they could not remember jack shit about it (x)(x)
so in conclusion: "so about e11even-" "i dont remember anything about it but it sure was fun ill remember that i dont remember 😃"
cursor selkie sc (due to some unlikely plot contrivance) in god with a bag of groceries au would be so funny...bystanders watching god pass by with a bag of groceries, followed by tiny god with a packet of cookies. adorable.
I loooove the jp fandom's headcanon that geeta and larry are childhood friends who met during their time in the academy and, sometime in the future, geeta personally recruited larry to work for the paldean pokemon league, as she must be one of the first people who knew of his prowess in pokemon battling! Like yeah, the whole geeta being a "strict boss who is frustrated by larry's stubborn insistence to be an average worker that she has to assign him different workloads just to broaden his horizon" idea is intriguing, but stepping it up a notch by making geeta be the "best friend a.k.a the only one who has seen larry at his very best and his very worst, and knows for a fact that he could excel at anything he put his mind into if he steps out of his comfort zone, so she doesn't particularly drag him out of said zone, but pushes him out of it each time she can because she can't bear to see her best friend be unaware of the good chances and positive things that awaits him out there, not if she has a (small) say in it" is also downright hilarious 😭🤚
i am like one encouraging reply away from writing a crackfic where all the avatars go to a karaoke bar and each eyevatar gives a shockingly different yet cunt-serving performance.

So Oliver is part dragon, which is something I think Rontu and Egalt would know about, either by being able to just sense his dragon side or maybe he mentioned it or something, idk. Point is, they know he's part dragon.
And I can just picture Egalt, this guy who's very adamant that humans can't learn something like rising dragon and trying to teach them is a waste of his time, would just question Oliver on why he looks like that. More specifically, why he would choose to look like that, because if he's able to choose a more dragon-like form, surely that would be more powerful and useful than a puny little human guy.
And Oliver just goes, "I don't know man, I just like this form." Which would probably just make Egalt even more annoyed with these guys bothering him to train them. Like, this guy is literally part dragon and he's not doing anything with that.
(Meanwhile Lloyd, who is also part dragon, is just sorta standing off to the side awkwardly while Egalt argues with Oliver over this)
