THE PARALLELS. THE PARALLELS. MOVE OUT OF MY WAY I AM SO NOT NORMAL RIGHT NOW

[feroluce]

So I've already seen this one pointed out, but in the new CG, Boothill's older human form doesn't really match what people thought it should. Of course it could just be neglect on Hoyo's part like I've seen speculated, but personally? With the other lore we got from this patch, combined with some of the stuff we already had, I'd love to think there is a possibility that is way, WAY more fun.

(fun for me and all the other whump enjoyers, anyway, RIP Boothill fjkasjkdj)

In Boothill's lc, we see him in the middle of his surgery where he threw away his flesh and bone body for steel and cybernetics. We know it was The Big Surgery and not just like some sort of tune up or modification because of the description attached to the lc:

Which is where a lot of the dissonance comes in, because in this lc, Boothill's hair is much, much longer than in the cg.

And as someone who also has super long hair, I can tell you that it would take like. Multiple years to grow it out to this length.

There's also the fact that these cybernetic arms don't even match, the lc is the one that looks like our Boothill does now. And there's no reason for Boothill's shirt to be ripped up and in tatters like that; it even states he takes off his clothes before the lc surgery. If it were a matter of Hoyo needing to censor nudity, there were plenty of other methods they could have used that would make more sense, like a hospital gown, a blanket, surgical partition, etc

When will I get to see Boothill with all his scars, Hoyo, when, quit cockblocking me!!! OTL

But there was also another piece of new lore this patch that hit me like a fuckin' brick- the fact that Boothill was tortured by the IPC.

He just drops this out of nowhere! Just says it and then moves right along!! BABY, PLEASE. I WANNA KNOW MORE SO GODDAMN BAD.

But anyway as Hydrachea pointed out to me, this means the torture definitely had to happen before the lc surgery, because being whipped with a belt soaked in saltwater (fucking OUCH) wouldn't work on someone with metal skin.

So, we know that the IPC did, at some point, capture Boothill. And this is reaching further back to previous patches, but we also know from the Luminary Wardance event in 2.5 that the IPC also dabbles in cybernetic arms, because of the one they foisted on Luka.

The model there is a new one they're debuting, but we see in a flashback sequence that the IPC has been part of the cybernetics game for at least 700-800 years, because they also manipulated Igor into getting one too, and this could have only happened before the Eternal Freeze on Jarilo-VI.

It's never stated just how old Boothill is, or how long ago the genocide on Aeragan-Epharshel took place.

But I doubt it was more than 700-800 years ago.

I really don't think Boothill is that old, or has been doing this for that long. So he definitely would have been captured at a point that the IPC was manufacturing cybernetic arms, and had a known history of amputating perfectly healthy patients to use them.

I wonder if all their test subjects were willing.

(This part is entirely unnecessary for the new cg showing Boothill being a forced lab rat as part of the IPC torturing him. But it is a fun, delightful, bloodily gruesome twist of the knife nonetheless.

Boothill was also betrayed by his own brothers-in-arms on Aeragan-Epharshel. For the IPC. Just saying.)

the “do you think we’re friends in every lifetime?” trend but it’s young alicent asking young rhaenyra.

an image of a large wildflower appears, its leaves and roots spreading out. next to the wildflower, a daisy is being plucked from the ground and placed into a pot.

the next image is of a dire wolf, howling into the night. next to the wolf is a well groomed pet dog, a strong leash around its neck.

the next image is of a dragon soaring the skies, breathing fire. below the dragon is a small canary, being held in an equally small metal cage.

“i hope so,” replies rhaenyra.

TotK is the most romantic stuff ever. except when it isn't. yes the game is about Link's journey to finally catch Zelda's hand and save her. yes she turned into an immortal dragon for 10000 years and forgot every single thing about her entire existence EXCEPT that she had to protect and save him. but we're gonna pretend it isn't happening <3<3<3 why are you surprised he no longer lives in Hateno <3<3<3<3 why did you expect any kind of a reaction from him upon learning the tragic sacrifice she'd made for Hyrule <3<3<3<3<3<3

me trying to figure out how the fuck to deal with mindflayer at 1:48am earlier

[em-um-canto]

Okay, but hear me out, Tubbo THOUGHT q!tubbo was kidnapped even though he still could teleport to spawn but decided to end stream there

Bbh after getting to log in purgatory 2 in the boat just... kept playing minecraft, because he was not kicked out of the server like every other streamer that got "difruta la isla"-ed

IN FACT neither tubbo, pac or bbh got kicked out of the server

WHICH MEANS that q!tubbo didn't necessarily had to be kidnapped (for now)

WHICH MEANS

And this is the most important thing

WHICH MEANS THAT Q!PAC DIDN'T HAD TO MISS HIS DATE WITH Q!FIT ON FRIDAY

GODDAMN TUBBO
