Me: casually mentioning Ahsoka being a highly skilled Jedi in the Rebels subreddit

Someone else: "And it's all because of Anakin😍"

Me, internally: "Shut the fuck uppppp about Anakin"

#her most powerful attributes have nothing to do with him #anakin never purified a kyber crystal #anakin focused on one or two fighting styles #as opposed to ahsoka's ever adaptive technique #she's also just a good Jedi #which Anakin never was imo #ahsoka tano #anti anakin skywalker #anakin skywalker unfriendly #anti stanakins #star wars #star wars rebels

How's about we make Sean fight another embodiment!!! Anyone can join the dream world and fight alongside him!

While Sean and the hunter are sleeping, he ends up in the dream world again.

Sean walks out of the house and towards skyscraper path, his soul is nearly cleansed... He only needs to fight 2 more embodiments before cleansing his soul completely!

Upon getting from Skyscraper Path to Hands of Emotions, a blue orb is there as the orb spins in front of Sean... He can't help but feel an unknown sense of need.

Does he give in? Of fucking course he does so he gets transported to this area called "Lone Lamp"

Stay tuned. Part 2 is soon to come!

[ @he-ofhavoc y'know what this means, right? :3]

#IT'S INTERACTIVE POST TIME BABY!!!#The purified soul: Isolation.#ask sean #retired god of war #oc askblog

Do you think Edelgard perceives herself as a victim? I’ve been thinking and I can’t decide myself, on one hand she clearly hates the idea of people being victims or helpless, and constantly reframes the victims of the war as “necessary sacrifices” instead of, y’know, tragic causalities of a war she started. She plays up her sad backstory to try to get Byleth to join with her in WC, but then she does all these things to concentrate as much power as possible on herself. On the other (other) hand, she pushes the culpability of the war on everyone except herself, and has trouble taking accountability. She’s obsessed with controlling everything but she doesn’t want to be blamed for the problems she’s created. What do you think?

Oh!

(sorry for replying one literal month later lol)

I find Supreme Leader hard to write because of this, but in a way, I believe that yes, she does.

However, for all the flak Faerghus gets for "ToXiC mAsCuLiNiTy" and "Chivalry BaD", there's something very toxic with the way some Adrestian victims (often women... blame the writers I guess?) deal with their abuse.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Doro because I already typed a lot about her, but while she still sees herself as a victim from what she endured and suffered in her childhood, she adopted the toxic mindset of "this suffering is a thing of the past and I grew from that/beyond that to become the person I am now" - which we can also see in Manu who suffered from, roughly, the same traumas.

Petra also follows this pattern, being a hostage and treated like shit, but she grow "beyond" her status of a victim to become the strong person she projects and believes she is - it's only out of House that she realises more accutely her status within the Empire, the reality of her situation and, in Houses, refuses vassalage to Adrestia to make her country independent without having to "ask the Emperor".

It's the same pattern : "I was a victim" but "I became strong" so "I am not a victim anymore, this is something of the past".

Applied to Supreme Leader...

Well, trying to ignore the Agarthans and her dad's own infuence on her character (which is kind of hard, since the games try their hardest to make Agarthans responsible for everything BaD and we're not clear on how much they had an influence on her), I think Supreme Leader believes she was a "victim" of abuse.

But - through further abuse and surviving said abuse - she became strong* enough to "not be a victim anymore".

Which is why her line of "if the weak remain weak it's their fault" feels like it echoes part of her mindset : she was a victim but became strong enough, maybe by hardening her own feelings to become "strong", so she is not the same helpless "victim" she once was.

If she managed to do that, then everyone can do the same.

As for the "necessary sacrifices", since early 2019 someone theorised that "the people" she pretends the fight for as seen as some general "concept", much like the "greater good". So if some people are sacrificed, it's for her ideals - the goal and aim of her newfound strength - , and it piles on her drive, she must realise them otherwise those people would have died (and she would have suffered) for nothing.

However, despite acknowledging her past self as a victim, and because she's now "strong", she's not above using her past trauma (but actually, still present! Remember the rat scene?) to reach her goals, because, at her core, Supreme Leader is soemone who is very determined. Maybe it's her only drive to grow beyond the trauma, or her own illusions, or a mix of everything, but AM made it clear, Supreme Leader is not above, well, using herself if it means seeing her goals come to fruition : unlike Lobotogard from AG, AM!Supreme Leader willingly transforms in Hegemongard.

This is the cost she's willing to pay, so while the memes about Lord Farqaad were on spot, I still think that Supreme Leader is ultimately willing to sacrifice** herself for her goal (but only when there's no other way to ensure her future will come to fruition, and in a way, I guess she thought she would survive the Hegemon transformation, jury's out on what she meant to do in AM's finale, but imo, she still tried, even beaten and battered as she was, to claim Dimi's head).

Ultimately I think everything's a bit muddled by the fact that, as @fantasyinvader pointed out, Supreme Leader is a liar and knows the importance of maintening good PR.

She lies and manipulates the truth to reach her goals (which again, is a red flag when CF claims to want to restore the "distorted history" of Fodlan!) and for all the flak I give them, the devs managed to scrap enough material to give us a peek in Adrestia's mindset (or at least its top nobles), they're not people who self reflect, they are salty because they aren't ruling the world anymore, and they feel like they are better than the rest of Fodlan.

Put everything in the mixer, and you indeed have Supreme Leader (but also her court, especially Ferdie in SB who dares to say, as he is invading and trouncing people who don't really like and accept the idea of being invaded, that the fear those people feel are only in their mind, or something like that? Like, dude, you're rolling over their people and country, of course they'll fear and hate you!) giving her weird rhetoric lines (why are people opposing me if they are going to die?), victim blaming (something Treehouse swallowed like honey, if their lolcalisation is anything to go by, remember, it's Rhea's fault for not offering her head on a platter that is the reason why the War continues in CF!) and so on.

IDK if the devs wanted to bank that much on the Dany parallel with her "if I look back i am lost", but again, I don't know if her drive to make a "better Fodlan" is motivated by her trauma, Adrestian revanchism, Ionius telling her dumb things or Agarthans agarthaning, but her goal and vision are everything to Supreme Leader.

So she will do anythign to see them realised, even if it means sacrificing her people, starting a war, tweaking "the truth" or using her own trauma to motivate and recruit powerful people who might assist her with her goals.

To reply to your question, IMO she sees herself as someone who had once been a victim, but won't let that stop her from reaching her goals, even if it means creating thousands of "hers" in the process, because, in her mind, reaching her goal is more important than anything else.

*I know, she refutes Dimitri's claim that she is "strong" or laughs at it, but imo, it was more in the sense of "I was weak and became strong" so everyone can "become" strong.

**I don't think she wanted to throw away her life, but more something in the lines of "putting my life on the line" or sacrificing her precious (and to see how precious it is, just play CF lol) humanity.

#mgphotogirl #replies #the way the games are written no one truly holds her accountable for the war and the WC events #the parley scene tries but then it forgets everything to talk about visions and whatnot #without even going in the 'your allies framed Dedue's people for something they never did and you are using demonic beast for fuck's sake'#territory like seriously it's so mild #Being in an UO mindset now I'm still baffled at how Alain at least delivers some venom and hatred to the guy who #trampled over the continent and doesn't deserve to him to be called its king #even if he puts his hatred aside to purify and offer him salvation #but in Fodlan? there's no hatred or feelings about the war or the WC events #I mean you could believe they're arguing about what dish should be cooked for a birthday #or they're in a heated philosophy class #This verse's pathological need to make sure she's never held accountable for her actions #bled in FEH and in even in FE17 :(#Imo Supreme Leader could have been a fascinating character #if only they dialed back on the uwu and teasets prospects #and i say that not only because we would still have fans going all 'arvis did nothing wrong as he cooked his younger brother on a low flame #for Supreme Leader but because the 'driven by their convictions to the point of abandoning why they wanted to do X in the first place'#for a female character in the FE franchise would really have been progressive in the 'yes women too can be red emperors'#fodlan nonsense #tbh going from Hegemongard in AM to AG's Lobotogard really hurts #but as a certain youtuber said #Lobotogard was designed with a certain bait in mind #and I'm pretty sure it was the only way to get some unconclusive 'everyone survives ending' without slaughtering Dimi or Supreme Leader #characters at least

Alright know what here's a little Guild Wars 2 reblog game for everybody; what mounts (if any) do your characters have in their canon, do they have names? Personalities? How'd they meet??

Spill it all below, tell me about all your creatures!!

#my posts #gw2 #guild wars 2 #thinking about this a lot lately since mine def do!#I'll start: Pirkko has branded mounts and while I haven't named most of them. they were all branded over by Aurene #because they'd been corrupted by Kralkatorrik and they wanted to see if Aurene's magic could purify them in some way #it usually didn't work but Pirkko keeps the ones they saved #Larimar is her skyscale. his egg was tainted by the Brand before he hatched so Aurene was barely able to save him #he's a chivalrous knight type and is known to be just as noble as the Commander who raised him. brave. bold. kind of a dork.#while the Commander is fighting he circles up above and swoops down to rescue injured soldiers from the front line #Saoirse meanwhile gets the SoTo skyscale egg and that hatches into Nightshade. he's fierce and protective too #but in a much more 'loyal guard dog' sort of way as opposed to trying to help everyone else as well. he's an axejaw!#in Regrowth Ceara gets Foxglove because the Commander and Gorrik could NOT manage this little troublemaker #she's too smart for her own good and is CONSTANTLY causing problems. so basically just like Ceara HDKDHDH #Foxglove's a lunarmane! and she's very fluffy and cute and will give you the big shiny eyes to mooch all your food. evil #Ruju meanwhile has a full cast of different mounts who all were troublemakers in different ways when he found them #his griffon Windshear's a northern featherwing that was notorious for carrying off travelers in Lornar's Pass. turned out she was just bore #she's very playful and mischievous and still grabs him on a regular basis. he absolutely hates this #his fulgurite ridgeback jackal Thunderclap was a rogue jackal that the djinn had him help recapture and tame #he's imbued with Ruju's air element magic and is known to make the air spark and smell of ozone when he's annoyed #then there's Blitz his lepidote brute skyscale! he likes bloodstone magic and kept nipping everyone until it was finally provided #the rest I don't have in-game yet but I DO have concepts for the skimmer/warclaw/raptor. the 1st 2 I know what skins I want too #the skimmer will be a frosty-dyed lithosol named Frostbite. it's an ice elemental that terrorized Frostgorge Sound #the warclaw is a spinetail nian with jungle colors since it's supposed to be a smokescale-type saurian critter #and the raptor is SUPPOSED to be the jungle raptor that plointt grew to huge size and promptly tried to eat him #BUT there isn't a skin that feels close enough yet so rip. Fang is a handful tho and keeps trying to chew on Inquest HDJDGDH #ANYWAY. that's all of mine. throws this into the wind

very important question: do u think force ghost qui-gon just shows up to screw with luke sometimes

#luke: *leans on random tree*#qui-gon materializing out of nowhere: so actually that tree was the site of a triple murder a couple of centuries ago and is now polluted #with dark side energy™. in order to purify yourself you must journey to the jedi satellite temple on---#obi-wan: master STOP #star wars #sw #luke skywalker #qui gon jinn

Vvvvvv messy doodles of magical girl au

#enstars #crazy b #crazy magic b #<- temporary name #euu wont tag more than that #now for rambles sooooo my main concept idea is a world with magical girls(gender neutral i still need to thing about how everything #interacts with gender and genre expectations #id say for now gender neutral with outfit aesthetics influenced more by the magic giving entity)#so magical girls choosen seemingly at random by some entity to protect the area from creature which are the manifestation of repressed #desires and dreams gone rotten #and so our characters have to defeat these monsters and purify the person/give them back their dreams/want to live #and so your standard magical girl focuses on purifying and giving people their dreams #idk if that makes sense #euuu not much is known about magical girls and how they work and one of the main theories is that magical girls are born when a persons #dreams and desires grow strong enought that they crystallise in magic powers #idk trust me so if you want something as much as you can and work on in in pure acts of love you too can be a magical girl #euuu ill reread the war tm to better write this but #i just visualise these flavour of magical girl like the idols of eichis dreams #crazy b stand a little to the left rinne positing that euu things blabla live life to your fullest feel your emotions allow yourself to be #alive a pure dream is nice if the rest of your emotions and wants are ignored they will rot (i need to reread the main story and nightclub)#yea euu ill make it coherent when im not bone tired #moth draws

So I want to talk about the altar of Glaust, because it's incredibly important to the story and yet it almost never gets brought up.

What I think most people know about the altar is that its a forgotten artifact that was responsible for Glint, and by extension, Aurene being freed from the yoke of Kralkatorrik. While you can visit it in Arah, it kind of exits the story from there with no character ever thinking to use the sole artifact with the power to grant corrupted creatures free will again. However there's a few details that I think a lot of people miss that I find kind of interesting at least.

The first thing is that the altar itself is only a part of the process, it's just a component of a spell or ritual that does the actual work of cleansing the corruption.

Secondly, the spell needs to be performed at Arah. Though I don't know whether that's simply because the forgotten built the required altar there or because Arah is special somehow.

Personally, I think that there's something special about Arah that's required for the spells function beyond the mere presence of the altar. Zhaitan's presence indicates that it's almost definitely a ley-line nexus, and something about the land there was special enough to call the gods to tyria. So I think it'd make sense that they'd have to do it in Orr (which also suggests, given the forgotten attempted to purify Kralkatorrik, that ol'Kralky used to be active in Orr during the last dragonrise before flying up to the blood lands for his nap)

I think that would go some way as to explain why we're not using this incredible power, as the only way to do so is to venture through an unchained-infested city all the while lugging about whatever corrupted creature you want to cleanse.

And while I'm on the subject of why the altar isn't in the story more, there's also the fact that making corruption being curable more of a thing really changes the nature of dragon minions. Where before they're poor victims who can only be put down for everone's safety, the altar's presence makes them victims who, if you put in enough effort, you could save. Which would probably change the focus of the story quite dramatically as we have to weigh protecting still uncorrupted people against trying to save the corrupted from their fate.

(though imagine if we used purified branded to create living dragonsblood weapons, warriors uniquely suited to fighting branded who are immune to corruption because I don't think Kralkatorrik can brand them twice)

(as a sidenote, if you haven't done the forgotten path of the ruined city of arah you might not know that the altar is blimmin huge, check out the pic below with risen giants for scale)

Finally, just an interesting/annoying note is that we never got any explanation as to how the forgotten purification works, does it block the elder dragon from issuing commands to said minion? Does it work to nullify the dragonvoid lurking at the heart of the creatures magic? Replace the corrupted dragon magic with more benign ley energy? Who knows! Not us, and we likely never will now that we're moving away from the dragon storyline. And I promise I'm not salty about that.

So yeah, that's pretty much it, the altar's a pretty cool object and, for how little it comes up, a really important part of Aurene's ascension to non-mad elder dragon. Hopefully it'll one day get more attention, if only so we can have the commander go "Wait why haven't we been using this the entire time"

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #wew that was a long post #so in the dungeon we see an npc use the altar to purify a risen chicken #and I know my commander Rugan had some selfish part of him hope it wouldn't work #because the altar being functional meant that he might have been able to save Howl...#I'd probably just headcanon that no ones been able to purify more than a small creatures so far #even though that was never outright stated in game #moose lore posting

hey what do you think the totk shrines are named after

#thoughts #totk #because unlike in botw where it's the name of the monks #here they (from my maybe wrong understanding) have all been built by rauru/sonia to purify the lands right?#before the war #so why do they have funky names

20, 23, 25 for Reva?

20 (ideal best friend for this character): in a no o66 au i think she & nari (the jedi from kenobi ep 1) are friends but in canon i would go with haja i think they should be friends (also i do keep thinking about reva meeting naare (from freemaker adventures) and i think theres something there. to me.)

23 (favorite picture):

its about being on the brink of becoming the monster you fear and then stepping back from that brink and starting to heal literally its like poetry it rhymes!!!

25 (first impression vs now): i was interested in her from the beginning bc like. the inquisitors are so fascinating?? jedi who are tortured into becoming jedi hunters…the tragedy of it all. and now i think about her at least once a week because shes just an amazing character. she was traumatized as a child and then that need for revenge consumed her until she realized that she was becoming the person who had hurt her and then stopping…i need her post show book NOW and the fact that we dont have one yet is cruel. she deserves to heal and have a good life after everything 🤍

#eclipse’s posts <3 #star wars #reva sevander #i love her i love her i love her #also i think she should get white lightsabers. yes this is bc im obsessed with purified kyber crystals.#and naare…i think she needs to see that other dark siders can heal and also i love women (everyone should watch freemaker adventures)#(<- has a freemaker adventures agenda)

love to be poor and unable to afford the medicine that I hate but still somehow desperately need to avoid having an autistic meltdown at 3am

#when I say almost every sense is being assaulted right now… I mean it #meds make me hot and the fan won’t work #air purifier filter is dirty so I can’t do anything about the weird sewage smell i keep smelling that nobody else does anything about #throat hurts from working around dust all the time despite begging to go anywhere else #dad is back from out of town so I have to listen to war movies at full volume constantly #cats will not stop staring at me and climbing on me and making messes that only I care enough to clean properly #and now I don’t have insurance so good luck getting any med refills this week #and good luck getting kitty litter before I get paid pennies this Friday #hello I hate everything #I’m tired of everything #I want to just be done

Making an OC tied to a canon character like yeah I made them up and they’re important to the story concerning the Main Guy. Sorry. I promise I actually have something here.

#idk listening to Music™️ and I thought about some kind of patron or sponsor #for Megatron when he was in the pits and especially as champion #maybe to completely purify the idea then it’s between a patron oc and a gladiator oc unrelated to megs #once war strikes patron would side with Autobots to save their skin from radical decepticons #and obviously the gladiator would be loyal to mega cuz omg he’s literally me #thought there’s also the idea that the patron was the first victim of megs’ revolution #idk.#listen to overgrown by machineheart it’s good

#the greens' love and loyalty and trust in not just each other but also their dragons was what differentiated them from team black #which was filled with betrayers and turncloaks. the greens' bonds of family was /their/ redeeming quality. so of course ryan condal takes #that away from them and gives it to rhaenyra. because everything good abt the greens and everything bad abt rhaenyra is propaganda (via gojuo)

Remember what they're taking from you
