#ok ramble over!

happy storyteller saturday! what are your favourite pieces of worldbuilding for the prophet story? also, how's my man cain doing? :3c

Hi! Happy STS yeah! Sunday starts with an S too. Hmmm!!! I quite like. How there’s. No certain answers for parts of the world, actually? So like. The gods have been [killed? Imprisoned?] in stone, and nobody is sure why for centuries. Then we find out the Blight did it to them, and insists they’re dead. But at the same time, it puts significant effort into tracking the statues down and smashing them. Why do that for things that are already dead you silly little infection!!! And obviously, we have a prophet born and a hero made within the story, so the gods can’t truly be dead right now, their divinity is still being assigned!!!! So I guess. The soft world building! There are answers. But not for everything. (Mostly because the focus of the story is on the brothers, and neither of them hugely care for these answers).

Speaking of which!!! Cain is fine and dandy :)

See? Just peachy!

Tragedy enjoyers when there’s not one, not two, but three combinations of tragic relationships at the center of the narrative AND they’re bisexual

went a little nuts and made a batman au joker and got really invested. i dont even go here.

in short, it's one of the morality switcheroo kinds, so bats is a "villain" (gone full crime eradication mode and stamped out any empathy. bruce has like. taken over gotham and keeps funding cops and surveillance.) and joker's a..... well. hes not a hero but he is here to ruin a billionaire's day and well if he ends up helping people out so be it. He's just a scrungly little guy and that's everyone else's problem.

(yes that is Dick in that one doodle)

Guysss the lore gets thicker and thicker!!! Sukuna being Wasuke's twin makes so much more sense and hits in the guts even more!!

Wasuke showed what Sukuna could've been if he was not treated as a curse and hated just for existing..It's interesting how they never coexisted together either one being eaten in the womb or in the modern era Wasuke dying just hours before Sukuna was reincarnated...and even being catalyst to the chain of events. The fact that in jjk being a twin means being incomplete in your jujutsu abilities since they're treated as one (like Maki and Mai) but these two never came together yet they somehow kept missing something..one got to live all powerful and feared by all yet had no love in his life and the other lived a normal life which it was filled with love and happiness eventually but succumbed to a deathly disease...

Also Sukuna knows everything about Wasuke from Yuji's memories which adds even more to their bond, he had felt the warmth and love of 'Yuji's grandfather'...he knows Wasuke's last words 'to be surrounded by loved ones when you die' and how beautiful is it that the most feared man curse who had noone for 1000 years died in the hands of a loved one. It was Wasuke's nurturing that shaped Yuji into the person he was who went ahead and tried to see Sukuna as someone more than just a calamity and a curse... It's also beautiful how both Wasuke and Sukuna thought they were dying alone but Yuji was with both of them...they both died with a loved one by their side..🥹🥹 being the grumpy old men they were...

This panel hits so muchhhh harder now!!

this is not directed at anything in particular so much as a lament ive made in private several times over the years and am thinking about again now but. i wish that fandom had not conflated the term "zine" with "artbook". because 99% of the "zines" i see are in fact artbooks, chapbooks, or art/writing anthologies. which to me are just so so different as products!!! instead of being fully handmade they are all being professionally bound by an outside company, often come with stickers/keychains/other perks that are 3rd party manufactured, etc... and to be clear i love these and have bought several, but!

they are to me kind of the antithesis of what the word "zine" should actually imply, in the traditional sense. a zine is something you make by hand and then photocopy for the dozen or so people in your circle. a zine can be just a single sheet of paper you folded up into 8 pages and scribbled on with pencil. they can get fancier than this but once you move from using a stapler (or if you're feeling fancy needle & thread) to needing to have things perfect bound & glued by a separate industry then!!!! we have moved up the sliding scale in terms of product, towards art/chapbook and away from zine. that's what those terms meant initially we just have... kept calling them zines anyway i guess, and now i think most younger people don't realize that the origins for "zines" were things you handmade and maybe snuck your school/work's photocopier to help produce for your friends. And they were made by one person, or maybe a small collab of 2-3. Once you start adding more artists/authors, and they're all making separate things (even if on a theme), now we have hit an anthology. you know?

because i would LOOOOVE fandom zines in the traditional sense of the word, just posting photos of short scrappy handmade art/comics and mailing them to mutuals for fun like you would a christmas card. idk. like i've made i think 8-10 personal little zines on all random topics in the past year just for fun and my friends, because they're rewarding and people LOVE getting something like that in the mail. they're little visual shitposts like "rating the 16 crayola crayons i found in my drawer" and "plants i have eaten while taking walks in the desert" and it would be really fun to have fandom equivalents of those too... but fandom these days has moved away from silly rough stuff towards everything being really polished + professional and it takes some of the charm out of it i think

oughhh ..... waking up in the middle of the night or just a little too early and your f/o groggily tugging you back into place with some little half-coherent words of encouragement. call them selfish, but they'll take the label with no complaint if it means they get to have you lie down at their side just a while longer. the tired little motions they go through to try and make sure that you're able to fall back asleep before they let themself do the same, whether that be tracing shapes along your skin in gentle little gestures or even humming, they're putting the effort in even though sleep might be clinging onto them like a 2 ton weight.

Huh

Interesting

I was watching Kengineer's 3rd solo playthrough episode last night when this quote from the Lotus popped up during the Once Awake quest, and it got me thinking about 1999.

1999 is when the Infestation pretty much shows up for the first time (at least as far as we know), which places the Radiation Wars after 1999 (of course).

...but how long after?

Now idk how old this Lotus quote is and whether it's in the devs' minds at all, but imagine that the Radiation Wars are directly after 1999, sparked by this recent apocolyptic infestation spreading all of a sudden.

Imagine the 1999 quest ends with nuclear armageddon, perhaps even on New Year's. We make that final New Year's kiss (or not), knowing that the people here are doomed to die (though they were probably doomed to die to the helminth strain inside them at some point anyways).

I imagine in this scenario that for the sake of replayable 1999 gameplay (and maybe even the opportunity to change romance routes) that this time fragment of 1999 we find ourselves in repeats indefinitely, always ending in the beginning of the Radiation Wars.

would be pretty funny i think
