#my last long post lore post for a bit hope ya like snacking on these

[post-it-notes7]

So it's a pretty established rule in the Mirror Realm that reflections reform after shattering, but on average how commonplace is it for a being to shatter? Is it just another Tuesday kind of event, or is it considered rare even for them? Followup question of sorts, is it societally considered dishonorable and humiliating, or not even thought of at all?

I imagine the metrics are different between those of riskier professions vs the average waddle dee, but I still can't help but be curious! (Hope you're enjoying your Amazing Mirror playthrough btw!!)

This is going to be another long one, better settle in :)

Shattering is most commonly caused through accidents, whether it's from a fight that went too far, a misstep that ends in a lava pit, or—on the unlucky occasion—poisoning, any typically-lethal blow will do it. Your health gets too low for any reason, you take too much physical damage, and you hit the shattering threshold. Poof!

With all the counterparts in the Mirror World being tied to the Dimensional Mirror, that does mean that accidents can add up over time, and several reflections may be respawning at once, and at random. It'll happen periodically throughout the day, and for that reason, the Dimension Mirror stands in neutral territory—Rainbow Route, to be game-specific, the hub for travel. The Mir GSA's main base is close by, but they abide by the neutrality rule, and don't interfere with those respawning who aren't their own.

You probably have a 50/50 shot of any one counterpart having been shattered before! It certainly depends on what they do on their own time, but there's a fair mix of both those who have shattered before, and those who haven't. It's usually considered polite not to ask.

And now we get to the more complex discussions. Shattering itself is viewed differently depending on who you ask.

There are those who take it more lightly. It's (conditionally speaking) not as if it's permanent, right? It's not death. You come back as if that final blow never even happened. Why waste time overthinking it? These views make up a decent percent of the population.

In the middle, you have those with more complicated viewpoints. Should we really treat shattering so frivolously? Sure, you respawn so long as your counterpart is alive, but it's not as if the experience is pleasant. It's kind of mean to do it on purpose... Maybe even hostile. Really, it's reasonable to feel wary about the possibility of it happening. They make up the overall majority, but are the most diverse in terms of thinking.

And then you have those who take it into serious consideration, each time, and every time. Who will avoid it if possible, and be the most reluctant to resort to it. They are the minority viewpoint.

Mir Falspar, to single him out as a wonderful example, is a bit of an outlier even in that regard. He's on the latter side, and treats shattering with a lot of weight despite its direct overlap with his job as a security/bodyguard. He doesn't know if the intruders he fights are on their last life—thus, he treats each shattering he commits as if it is going to be permanent. It's his job not to hesitate, his conviction can't waver when he's the last line of defense. The second someone raises their sword against him or those he guards, they've forfeited their life to him, and he will shatter them before they can cause any further harm. Again, he takes it seriously, and because of that is probably most prepared to confront what it means to shatter someone permanently.

In the same vein, Mir Falspar tends to avoid putting anyone in the Mir GSA at unnecessary risk of shattering, no matter how frequently he has to deal with carrying it out. Ultimately, it should be avoided if possible. He's been shattered several times prior to his last and most concerning incident, and each one was disorienting and overall unpleasant. After all, it's not like you forget what it feels like to die, just because you come back good as new.

In the wrong scenarios, in the worst ones, shattering can be traumatic, and this, unfortunately, is societally considered an overreaction in the Mirror World, even by those who are more sympathetic. Sentiment favors the fact that death isn't always permanent with shattering, and thus shouldn't be treated as such. Sure it's unpleasant, but why should you take it seriously enough that you keep yourself up at night? You're fine, right? You respawned. It wasn't permanent.

There's a lot of problems with that, though the instance doesn't happen very often. Shattering has been normalized in the Mirror World; what hasn't, is making a "big deal" about it after coming back.

And with that, thank you for the ask!

Mun as Operator Isekai Style!:

(Going to put this under keep reading since it’s super long. I did this once before, but now that I know a bit more about the game I can finally write it the way I am more comfortable with. Also I added some more answers, since I have no self control of my actions.)

Repost don’t Reblog!

You get sent to the Arknights Universe Isekai style! So how well do you think things would go for you in this Post-Apocalyptic  Quirky Fun World?

01. Basics

What Race are you?: Perro since I am a doggo. (Would be a Chow Chow)

Where do start from?: Probs Bolívar

Do you have Oripathy?: Maybe not due to dumb luck alone.

What Abilities, Skills, Powers, etc do you have? (Sorry will update this part later. Just want to post it already.)

weapon(s): My fist to punch/take things. type of arts:  S1L1: [Auto]  S2L1: [Manual]  S3L1: [Manual]   trait 2:  base talent:   base talent 2:   class: Defender tags:  strength:     mobility:   phys resistance:  tactical acumen:  combat skill:  arts assimilation: 

How do you survive?

Gambling. With what ever money I could get my hands on I would use it to try to get more all while limiting myself. Might also get some people who might want my lady luck, when I would ask for my time to be payed with some of what ever they win after all.

Do you seek out a Faction, or try to join Reunion or Rhodes Island?

I’d join Rhode Island since it would help me out in the long run. Aka giving me a place to stay, and able to have a bed of my own.

02. Interpersonal

Who you do (HOPEFULLY) run into first?:

Nightingale, Specter, Shining, or Pramanix (It’s not a Isekai if the male character from a different world is not meeting a mysterious looking woman. Then it leading it to them fighting and hoping they do not die.)

Who do you think you’d be best friends with?: All the robot starters, and I will act like those sweet a little kid looking up something on goggle and thanking it for the answer I was looking for. Man I love these robots they are great. Manticore since she is a very sweet person, and man she needs a friend. I wouldn’t be able to feel right not saying hi to her or spending time with her as a whole. Sure she would be invisible, but I would still chill with her. Next would be Ethan. I would bug the hell out of this man, and be that clingy friend just so he could get it that I will make him food, listen to him talk for days, and do crimes with him. And no one will stop me. The last on the list will be Matterhorn and Hung. I can see us bonding over cooking, and us teaching each other new things to cook when we have time or need a quick meal to make for people or ourselves.

Who would you most likely get into conflict with?:

-groans- I don’t like to think of this since it’s a sad topic to think about. But if I have to pick, then I can see two I would more then likely get into conflict with, with out meaning to. First is Orchid. I can see us meeting with me giving her a bad introduction of me as a person, and would avoid me because of it. I try to fix it, but she doesn’t have no time for me, when she is a busy woman who has her hands full looking after her own group.  The second is Flamebringer. He would hear my record of sparring with lot of operators, and would want me to pick him for that day. But every time that happens something will be destroyed. So we will have to pay with it using our own credit. Doesn’t even matter if I or he broke something we fought with no limits and didn’t think about it until it was too late. And it will get so bad I would have to avoid him, since I would need my credit to gamble with after all...

Who would be a (HOPEFUL) love -interest for you?:

my thoughts changed from my original list so this one will be different. Also gonna limit myself to answering only 3 operators I can see me getting with or trying to get with in one way or another. But my 4-6 is Matterhorn, Sesa, and Chiave. I like these three so much that even if it doesn’t work out I would like to be there friends. Now on the real ones. 1.) Ethan. Okay listen I tried very hard not to like him, but the more I knew about him, and played him in game was making me fall for the lizard by the day. It was like being smacked by his tail be knocking out from one swat of it. I like his fashion. I mean have you seen his second anniversary outfit? HOT DAMN! I would be low key jelly around him because of it. Plus I think it would be cute if he asks me to make him something at 3 in the morning, and I will do it no matter how tired I might be. Not only that he has a feel that he would be easy to talk to, and be around as a person, ya know? I love this lizard too much. I am not sorry. 2.) Going to be shallow for the last two, but number two would be Jaye. I like cute guy’s with fluffy hair, and scars on there body. Dated a guy with scars on his legs. They where sexy what can I say. Now back on topic I would hang out with him to tell him about the dishes I know how to make while helping him out with his cooking hobby, would be down to help him fish no matter how cold it is or how early I have to wake up. Not only that I would feed him my dad’s skillet flounder dish and see him melt from the flavor alone. So yeah, I like the cute panda man who makes sushi. So sue me. 3.) The third one was a hard one to pick but I would go with Arene. Idk why I like guys who are fashionable, twinks, with great hair, but with those two being easy to talk to or hang out with, Arene would be so hard to really figure out. I like a challenge so I would go for it! Plus his voice reminds me of a gentle summer breeze, and i would be attracted to that. Anyways, I can see us finally talking is when he kicks my ass with us sparring, and I say something with out thinking about it form my world being a well known tactic, and he would want to know more, since he likes to learn things like that. So I would teach him everything I know, and even some weapon facts I know. I can see when I run out of facts I will just use things I use from media to fight, him not wanting to hear none of it will leave, and me fighting him until he dose listen. He is gonna learn something, and i will be damned if he doesn’t. Not only that he is a bit of a trickster, and damn I like guys like that too. I have a type what can I say. To end this I looked up there birthdays and I like a Aquarius, and two Virgos. As a Gemini wtf is wrong with me? It will never work out. Man if that isn’t prove I am not ready to date, then idk what is. XD

Who would you be rivals with?:

To be honest I have no idea. I guess who ever says I am there rival? So first comes first served.

What is your dream (un)wanted harem?:

To be a baker and to be the best man I can be. I could go into detail, but I already wrote lots as it is.

03. Direction What do you do?: Try not to die and rely on my luck like the dumbass that I am! As well as make as many friendships and bonds as I can to help me later down the road. 04.Extra

What Food would you more the likely eat the most of in this new world?: (Here is a link of some of the foods from the game.) Potato and bread. I know I can eat something similar to meat, but nah. Give me bread! What would you do late at night at the base?: I would do two things. Read the lore of the new world if it comes in English. If not I am screwed let’s be honest. Unless I have Isekai  powers to read there language, then that’s good. No problem there. And two I would make late night snacks for people. If I get caught i will just run away. Can’t get in trouble if they can’t catch you after all. Not even gonna rat out who was hungry that night. My lips are sealed.  Do you talk about being from another world with people or would you be secretive about it? I would spill all the jam of being from another world. Not even going to hide it. And if people see me as crazy oh well. I’ll live. Who would ask about your world in the Rhodes Island? What would happen because of it?: I can see the doctor asking a lot of questions about it, since it’s the doctor, and that bound would be them understanding me a bit more, and forgiving me for not knowing certain things about there world. As well as me asking questions to them before hand to be sure I don’t do anything stupid. But if we are talking about a operator, then it would more then likely be who ever my main friend is, and me telling them stories of my life, and it resulting in them wanting to know how something looks or asking me some questions I might not be able to answer fully. Who do you think would not believe you are from a different world? What would there reaction or actions be from this? I know the one who would not believe me would be Kal'tsit. I can just picture me saying, “In my world we didn’t have anthropomorphic animal people. We where connected to Homo sapiens.” And her thinking I am in the same situation as the doctor and lost my memories. She would say I was crazy but oddly enough I can see her not going to that conclusion, since it would be too simple of a answer.  So she would check up on me to see how I am doing because of me answering her question of my world. If you could be able to bring one thing from your world, then what would it be? Also it has to be something you own so pick wisely: My laptop with my music on it. I will die with out it, and I can just earn credit to get headphones so no problem with operator’s not knowing my trash taste in music.  Examples:  What horrible thing would you do by mistake with out knowing the effects, until it’s too late at the base? It wouldn’t be a mistake. Everyone will know the powers of memes....But real answer is me making sweets for the kid operators every Friday. Nothing bad so far, but I can see some operators wanting some of the desserts as well, and it getting so bad the doctor has to be involved. No one ate sweets that day... Would you have a Codename or would you just use your normal name?: I wouldn’t use my name, and would like to be named jawbreaker after the 1999 movie, cause I like movies, and will still reference them, since I am a dork. What would your dialog lines be in game?: “Let’s us be in the eternal twilight...“ “I don’t count cards I’m too dumb to know how! It’s luck! LUCK!“ “Doctor you seem to have woken up early today. Want me to cook you some breakfast?“ How would the other operators describe you? In the limit of 5 traits: Serious, gambler, sleepy, reliable, and hard to read. Lastly how do you want to end this? Any final words?: I will end it with just a gif of the FC I am using.
