WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE KNIGHT OF DAWN SPIRIT IS STUCK IN A RING

Please where does it say that I must know!!!!!!!

calling him "stuck" was mostly a joke (and I don't think he's really a floating little ghostie or anything, more like...just some kind of remnant?) but when he showed up at the end of chapter 5, I read it as his spirit being in/attached somehow to the ring, and I think the implication was meant to be that he (or what was left of him) was the one guiding Silver through Lilia's memories. that may be leaning a little too hard into my personal interpretation, but that's what I thought we were supposed to get out of it! 🤷

(now watch as they turn directly to the camera in the next update to explain that I've misunderstood everything and the ring is really a tiny little robot that we all must shrink down into to pilot) (which would actually be amazing, can we have that please)

I've spent the last... hour at this point typing a whole god damn essay in response to essentially say:

ya.

It's true.

I may love these games to hell and back but BOY DO THE MAKE ME SUFFER. It's been five - six years of me yelling about the same shit.

I want a re-make of Fallout 3 so bad if for no other reason than because the companions have so many interesting tidbits and traits that would be so interesting to go into depth with on a companion quest that are just kinda left to the imagination like, Fawkes’s could be about remembering who he was before he mutated, Charon’s could be linked to breaking out of his programming or whatever it is and burning his contract, idk what Butch’s would be, but he would absolutely be a more interesting companion if there were friendship level conversations you could have with him, because he grew up with the Lone Wanderer. Even though they antagonized each other they know each other better than anyone else out in the wasteland and it’d be such an interesting dynamic especially because!!! he flirts!!! with the female LW!! but we don’t have any option in game to flirt back or anything, we just give him commands.

considering the historical influences in the fashion of Dishonored (and the extent of nsfw fanfiction this fandom has) I’ve been thinking about the layers that would be, realistically, part of the daily dress

which means: dishonored seems to honour the importance of a vest in a properly dressed gentleman’s or lady’s wardrobe

vests were, and I cannot stress this enough, a mandatory part of an outfit, to the point of men wearing only vests if they could not afford a fully tailored suit (trousers + vest + jacket) and a new shirt and opting to only wear a fake collar under the vest for the illusion of a full outfit

shirts were underwear, so to speak. there were no occasions in ‘polite society‘ where one could only wear a shirt without a vest on top.

this is something we see mirrored in both dishonored games, though the style of the vests and clothing have somewhat changed, they still follow the same rules of vests worn with every outfit, as far as we can tell. (we could argue that Jessamine is not wearing one, or that some higher class women aren’t wearing vests under their buttoned up jackets, but since we don’t really see underneath we can’t judge.)

we see the vests be worn even by the Whalers in the first game (which in itself brings up many questions. are whalers, the actual whalers that capture and kill whales, held in high enough regard by the society that they made a vest part of their uniform? or is it merely something that is worn by all? something that every citizen of sound mind would don, were they to leave their house?)

there are a few exceptions to this, of course, but this whole thing came to be by asking a simple question

does the Outsider wear a vest under his leather jacket?

now, in the first game, his jacket is unbuttoned just enough for us to get a good enough peek at what lies beneath. which is to say: there is no hint of a vest underneath. judging by the vests in the first game, the fashion was that the vest would go up high, often covering collarbones or even having a standing collar. what we see on the Outsider is just... an unbuttoned shirt

it’s much the same in the second game, even if we examine his final concept art, his outfit consists of a shirt (more or less underwear) with most of the top buttons unbuttoned, and a jacket on top. no hint of a vest underneath

what I’m trying to say is that the Outsider is a slut

possibly wild and out of touch take ahead so beware but if the second half of those eight digits is supposedly beato's birthday (yeah, november 29th, i've known it for a long time) and if we haven't been lied about it not being shannon's or kanon's birthday (i'm naming names now)... and if the beato we know as the game master is supposed to have been born for reasons related to battler, then wouldn't her "birthday" be the day of his sin? he sinned and then she was born, which sounds very biblical. and which means that for him to understand what those digits mean he'd have to not only remember that he has a sin, but also the exact day it was committed. i personally think it might have been a lot to ask of a little idiot like battler, but that's another story

I get hating certain political systems and trying to abolish totalitarian regimes but at the same time many of them are so interwoven with our history and society they have become tropes and when I consume media with a setting where the monarchy is absolute and revered then I am playing my part and sucking that princeling off

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

honestly something thats really frustrating about autism is that it feels like i have to force people into engaging with stuff that i like in order for them to care about me. because so much of my sense of self is tied to the things that i do/care about, interacting with people (especially irl friends and family) that 'care' about me is really isolating when it feels like they couldn't give less of a shit about what im excited about. they "tolerate" my existence and thats enough for them i guess but im so alone with all these thoughts i have abuot why this thing i like is actually cool and well made and interesting and its not just the fact that i already like it. i feel it when i share these feelings and all i get are empty responses or blank stares like im just that offputting for being a little strange about something i find fascinating

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.
