#relating to the current world

Whenever I see the "that sounds like terrorism, Anakin" TCW frame I just I just I remember how the Onderon arc was like the closest thing TCW did to what the Jedi did in the Clone Wars in Legends. Yeah, they aided and trained local resistances against the separatists. It's not just a thing Anakin made up for one arc.

You guys ever think about how the prophecy was talking about a "new moon" and how MC's almost-canon-name is "Luna"?

By the way, you guys know what happened on September 3rd? MC got cursed and sent to Darkwick as a result. Incidentally, (assuming Tokyo Debunker's story took place in 2024...) September 3rd would also be a night of new moon. 🌑

Coincidence? Perhaps it is... but!

I know this is a reach but what if the prophecy wasn't only talking about the ghouls but also MC?

There's also how MC got placed in / associated with the old Clementia dorm and Clementia is supposedly the Roman goddess of salvation and mercy.

Ringing any bells?

I've been combing over the RiotxArcane light novel again to prep for some longer meta and I realised something. Viktor knew Jinx robbed him and Jayce the whole time.

Nearly everytime he mentions anything about Zaun or Zaunites he has to pause, like he needs to adjust his answer.

At the start of the game he literally almost tells you it was Jinx, but he pauses and chooses to be vague.

And then when you, the player, finally connect the dots and tell him who you think it is, he tells you it's Jinx. The funny part is we can choose, not to say Jinx's name, we can call her names like "the Loose Cannon" or even "Powder " and Viktor's the one to reveal her current name.

There's also a weird dynamic between how he treats Jinx and Silco. When Viktor finally explains to us who Jinx is, he's hesitant to associate her with Silco.

Viktor treats Silco as a genuinely dangerous figure for the player to encounter, and he's even vocally critical of Silco as a kingpin/leader in Zaun.

But Viktor is also aware how dangerous the device Jinx stole is in the wrong hands. He knows it could tear apart realities, that the magic would corrupt the user to something inhuman, and... he just chooses not to lead you to Jinx.

He could tell you find Silco and Jinx would show up eventually, or ask Vi, who's already an enforcer and sick of Jinx's schtick. Maybe even ask Sevika who's thoroughly done with Jinx too.

And Viktor just doesn't tell the player. Even the way he describes what the thief, who he knows is Jinx could get up to, downplays the threat. He uses the word "mischief", which feels almost like a cute way to describe the pretty high stakes situation Jayce and Heimerdinger were just talking about.

Then Viktor spends his last lines lowkey defending Jinx, or at least asking the player to be understanding and maybe understanding.

This is all despite the fact he's fully aware Jinx not only works for a man he's deeply critical of, and is at the minimum complicit in Zaun's suffering, but she's pretty close to ripping realities apart at any moment.

I wonder what flavor codependent this kind of relationship will be next season.

This song was released over 8 years ago, and it's still eerily accurate.

I have a feeling I'll be listening to it a lot in the coming days/weeks/months...

Honestly, Wild World in general will probably be something I listen to a lot in the near future.

dude assad zaman is a good actor. did u guys know this

[nerves-nebula]

turns out if u go to write a story whats premise is "what if there was a PERFECT WORLD and you STILL DIDNT FEEL LIKE YOU FIT IN" and you have any semblance of knowledge of history or any self awareness you will soon realize you can't just.. create a perfect world.. you cant even really create a world that is ideal for YOU. cuz as long as people act like people someone will fall to the sidelines. and then the story becomes about marginalization and queerness and disability againnnn

a miscellaneous thought for future GW2 expansions; it'd be neat if we eventually wound up with one that includes a PvE version of the Warclaw mastery tree to make it relevant outside WvW. it's got a neat concept and some fun skins, but there's not really any reason to ever use it outside that specific game mode since none of its skills carry over into PvE. with siege damage mechanics added to some open world events, it'd be neat to see the og siege mount get an update.

bonus points if the expansion it's included in is Mists-focused, since that'd match up with the Warclaw's current lore, too.

I ended up making a document to list down ideas I have for drawing Ballad, Malon, and Ko’jin. Because?? I’m a little unhinged and I have some good ones that I can’t risk forgetting.

I have 5 so far with mini-outlines to help me remember since they take me a while to make. One of them is currently in the works.

someone: is wrong on the internet

me: I don't care, I don't care, I don't care soooo much it's actually hilarious how much I don't care.

me, in secret: I actually care so much it's impossible for me to care any more, the very thought of making this person realize how wrong they are is consuming my every waking thought

Resolutely not reblogging a post about the UK biodiversity crisis to point out that drastic declines in biodiversity in the last 20-100 years do not, necessarily, mean that the entire history of human cultivation of nature here is catastrophic. Like, I get the point the person was making and I also think that the 'we made this green and pleasant land' rhetoric is usually thinly-veiled nationalist chauvinism, but also please think about the statistics you're using.

If your stats all point to the major damage being in the last century or two, this relates to industrialisation, industrial farming, power consolidation, and un/deregulation, not the activities of ordinary farmers 500 years ago or whatever. Therefore, it's not actually countering the points the 'green and pleasant land' chuds are talking about.
