Out of curiosity Drimo, do you have a Krooster? :O I'd love to look at your roster

Kroomfie!

Here’s the rest of the relevant clown gang:

Since you live in Pastoria City have you ever met or worked with Crasher Wake? What are your thoughts on him?

We have communicated a few times as my work does directly affect his own- sometimes trainers I give starters to will run straight to his gym and try to challenge him with only one pokemon with zero training, haha. I do not know him well as a person, though- we are distant professional acquaintances at best.

[Meteo Hoshizora] is deadass the only writer at TM that cares about the Southern hemisphere @ Nzambi, various Aboriginal Servants, the Vietnamese twins

unfortunately being cared about by a TM writer is not a blessing

I think something of potential note is that Sanda asked Nasu if he could look at future GO story developments after Dantes and America blindsided Narita, and what he learned devastated him so thoroughly that he was forced to completely rework the entire second half of Case Files (where all the Zepia/Morgan/faerie/Arthurian stuff is), which is to say the second half of CF was very specifically written with GO's future developments in mind

RIGHT??? THATS EXACTLY WHAT GOT ME SO FUCKED ABOUT IT THIS ISNT JUST FUNNY COINCIDENCE THEYRE DOING THIS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND INTENT believe in lostbelt zepia

While you've spoken of Meantime before, what are your thoughts on the other Deception watch of the Real Gear Robots, Midnighter XR-4? Have you ever encountered them?

Dear Punctual Penpal,

I once nearly had an encounter with the Decepticon of which you speak… unfortunately, he was running late for our final showdown and I was able to foil his plan while he was still fussing over his calendar!

A favorite Mordred moment of mine is when he straight up just jumps off of the Hanging Gardens to get back to the ground, carrying Kairi losing his shit. Forever sad it didn't make it into the anime

GOD THAT’S SO GOOD TOO... Tbh Mordred is just. There are so many good moments of him in Apocrypha? Plane crash into Semiramis, telling Amakusa that no one gave him the right to use his damn name, seeing Amakusa and Semiramis and immediately clocking shit vibes, pestering Jeanne for command seals, killing Astolfo’s shit Master, the list just goes on and on and on

The kind of vague contradiction between Lalter in story and her My Room is probably because a fair amount of her My Room is 1:1 copy-pasted from /Salter/ in Unlimited Codes; "the duty of a hero to be hated", "It was a long dream" etc. are all stuff Saber Alter 1:1 says in UC word for word, and the other stuff less directly goes off of that

Nice

How do you personally reconcile TCW in areas where it contradicts the EU (which is to say most prominently the clone inhibitor chips and the Mandalorians basically wiping out Karen Traviss's stuff, less prominently stuff like Ventress). Do you prefer one over the other (clones doing it voluntarily vs. involuntarily, pacifist Mandos vs. warrior ones), or do you just kind of shrug and not really take it as a big deal, or some other approach? :O

Tbh, i didn’t have to reconcile TCW with the older canon because I only got deep into the EU after watching the show. Before TCW I had only read a few novels and comics and since I was never a big fan of Clone wars (2003) accepting the new canon wasn’t hard at all. sure, now that I do know more about the preexisting canon, there’re some things I wish they had done differently but nothing bothered me as I watched the show for the first time. Beyond the obvious ‘Anakin never had an apprentice!’ initial show, the only time I was upset because the show deviated from the canon was the Slave of the Republic arc. I love that storyline and I incredibly excited about watching it but, in the end, it did disappoint me. Other than that, I can’t think of anything else that me immediately go ‘I don’t want these’ :P

I still remember being shocked by Cody’s betrayal when I watched ROTS for the first time but looking back I realized I never saw the clones as ‘evil’. My interpretation was that they were following Orders, that they didn’t know who Palpatine really was or why he gave the order to kill the Jedi. idk, I’m conflicted. The idea it was voluntary gives the clones agency as people and that makes them more dynamic characters to explore. On the other hand, the chip plot makes it abundantly clear they were the victims as much as the Jedi and judging by the lengths some jedi fans go to dehumanize clones and their suffering I’d say it’s better that way. I mean, it makes much harder for people to go out of their way to pretend the clones slave status did not matter so I’m okay with that. I support anything that makes the lives of slavery apologists harder :P

As for Mandalore, i knew nothing about the planet or the people beyond the Fetts so there was nothing to reconcile there. My main problem with Mandalore in the show is the whitewashing, that bothers me way more than they being portrayed as pacifists.

Ye ye, don't remotely mean to absolve Minase of his sins just because he wasn't involved in LB2, the fucker needs to go. I don't give a fuck that the at least significantly written by him LB4 was chill and not horny it just makes means he deliberately chooses to be a gross misogynistic fuck when he's capable of doing otherwise anytime he wants to and it just makes me hate him more.

YEAH i know don’t worry we’re all in agreement he needs to go because he’s a lazy hack who deliberately botches his work i honestly hope they don’t keep him around for long with enough fan feedback asking for his departure

While I largely want to figure things out myself so don't wanna know about say the Ruinbringer's mechanics or such (promise to watch your streams after I fight him though!) would you perhaps be down to list the steps to get Ending 2 (or Ending 3) since the steps to achieve a certain ending are the one thing I don't want to use up time figuring out

Ending 2 and Ending 3 are mutually exclusive, you have to discard items from one to head to the other. For Ending 2, you need the Treasure Map, and will earn The Lost Charger, for Ending 3, you need the Sand Coin, and then you'll get the Reefsteep Ring and the Dropped Crown. Discarding the Map will also discard the Charger. Discarding the Coin will also get rid of the Ring and the Crown. This resets all your progress in the quests, and you may redo them to reacquire the items at your leisure.

As far as I know, you need Ending 1 baseline for Ending 2, not sure Ending 3. The Treasure Hunter won't appear otherwise

"Ending 2" - Treasure:

Make sure you do not have the Sand Coin.

Talk with Old Isin in the Market.

Watch the event where Old Isin leaves.

In the Game Map, keep an eye out for the Event where you find the Treasure Map. It'll be signaled by a ! sign on a cleared map.

Find the Treasure Hunter randomly in Nodes. Talk to her, and agree to give her the map. If you said no, she'll randomly appear in a future node and you can give her the map at that point.

Find the Treasure Hunter again in Nodes. She'll have the translation for the map.

On this run or when applicable, you'll have to fight The Ruinbringer, who'll lead the Lord Ameer's army. Defeat The Ruinbringer for the ending and The Lost Charger.

"Ending 3" - Assassination:

Make sure you do not have the Treasure Map.

Complete Manticore's sidequest, signaled by you having the Fragrant Flowers.

In the Market, talk to Manticore every time you encounter her until she doesn't open her shop interface and instead talks about something else. Old Isin will be in the Market as well if this conversation can be triggered, make sure to talk to her first every time or you can lock yourself out of this ending until you find and discard the Map again, as her conversation and Old Isin's are mutually exclusive (Old Isin's is the one that then makes him leave and makes you find the Map).

Randomly find Sand Soldier (Passenger) in Nodes, he'll give you the Sand Coin.

Talk to Sand Soldier in the Market. Besides the Gift, keep talking to him every time you see him.

Find Old Isin randomly in Nodes.

In the Game Map, watch the Event in which your clan's anger is ignited.

Randomly find Manticore in Nodes.

There'll be an event afterwards in the Market, you'll get the Reefsteep Ring.

Randomly find Manticore in Nodes.

In the Game Map, find an Event that tells you about how the Sand Soldier vanished.

Then, another Event at the Market, in which Old Isin burns his own camp and leaves.

Guess What, Randomly find Manticore in Nodes.

One Final Time, Randomly find Manticore in Nodes, disagree with her, and choose to assassinate the Lord Ameer.

Hydrate after all this random nonsense.

Now, on this run or when applicable, you'll be able to fight Al-Rafiq, who'll lead the Lord Ameer's army. Defeat Al-Rafiq, and you'll earn the ending and the Dropped Crown.

Got any trans headcanons of note? :O

Trans headcanons of note... hmmm 

I’m a big fan of nonbinary Waver, nb trans Artorias obviously... NB Bedivere.... Most of my headcanons are NB related honestly. Like Enkidu is another big one 

I am, however, a fan of trans man Caenis, trans guy Mordred, femme queen Da Vinci (it’s a shame that there’s not a lot of stuff about Da Vinci in Naples, because in Neapolitan culture there’s the cultural gender Femminiello which would be interesting to invoke), pretty standard stuff? 

I like to conceptualize that Scathach & Skadi are nonbinary too because they’re literally gods lol. Who needs gender at that point 

[tainbocuailnge]

Good news, both the second livestream interview with the director and Nasu's Bamboo Broom Diary on the subject indicate that it's a faithful line by line scene by scene remake with nothing cut or changed, with "very few new strings of text" being added to the original script. We're not getting anything apeshit (in fact Nasu very specifically said this is for fidelity, Last Encore was for apeshit), but the good shall remain good.

HELL FUCKING YEAH BABEY WE ARE

scarfdyedshadow replied to your post: tumblr. can you please let me post this image

let :clap: zoey :clap: post

you heard the woman

[askvectorprime]

Hello Vector Prime! I must profess some curiosity about the universe where you're a shrine maiden attending the Sigma Oracle, as we have been privy to very little detail of the religious and corresponding cultural beliefs of Transformers, and in what cases we have the religions turned out to be proven or disproven in relatively short order. Would it be possible to tell us more about this universe? Thank you very much for all that you do!

That close to the core, there's no need for most senses. No need to hunt or forage, no need to fear. But hearing remains, and when I felt the year in my gut would her bells call me. Through the gate (on instinct I know it to be gold) I would alight and spread my wings in threat and fear and kinship at once. The weight of the dance would change, but from my vantage here I know it was always a sister's movements. 

Enraptured, I would barely feel the touch of her attendants, cleaning the yolk off me. Good eating I know. Once I played thief-destroyer, but soon I only appeared for blessings and to be blessed. 

She is an excellent dancer.

[captain-lovelace]
