Ronin thing (NSFW [violent content, etc.])

i Wrote this short Piece on a discord Server while drunk and Bored. it's about ronin from Killer Chat. please enjoy. or dont.

its been months since what you thought was the end of it.. you met up with him and kiss him. He destroyed you. He rebuilt you. He made you in his image. In that moment he guides the blade as it slashes the carotid veins, you look in shock as the man gurgles and holds his hand to his throat trying in vein to stop the bleeding. He is scared. You know of him already. He was cruel, a bad person. You know he is a bad man. But guilt bubbles in you. You are scared, but Ronin pulls you away and takes over, this is your first time, he is proud. You did what he wanted, you killed for him. From there you do kill and kill. You think about contacting the police, of admitting it, but when you talk to Luca, to Felicitie, to Vance, to Angel, to the others, especially to Ronin.. you can't make yourself care. Were you always this? No, but this is you IN HIS IMAGE.

[remythologise]

went on to twitter and everyone is being negative about the spirk video because it's 'AI slop' if you did 0.1 seconds of research you'd know that it was filmed on sets with actors and was done with a lot of practical and digital effects and with full consent of the actors/families/estates involved... AI slop is completely different! people will just get mad at anything these days with zero research which is JUST as bad as falling for the AI slop with zero research!

[wizardsix]

local guy claims intellectual superiority by declaring people who criticise veilguard just haven't played long enough and don't really know what bad writing is. it must be very peaceful to have such an empty head.

[oooocleo]

at some point do we just start a worldwide trade network of images we printed out via the post lol

[bonebabbles]

God the new ultimate guide sucks

It's not JUST the awful art, either. The art's just worth mentioning because even if the book's info had been terrible or contained nothing new, really cute art can make it still worth having.

But, no, it's even full of recycled lines we've been hearing for years like "Bramblestar Can Match Squirrelflight's Fire Not Contain It," and that's when it DOES get everything right. These entries leave out major, important details (making them bad summaries) and are sometimes even straight-up incorrect.

SUMMARY THOUGHTS

Leafpool is said to have watched Brambleclaw kill Hawkfrost to save Firestar-- but for one, no, she was not there because Ashfur was still leading her and Squilf towards the scene. For two, no, Brambleclaw did not kill Hawkfrost just to save Firestar, it was self-defense. Hawkfrost had him pinned and was going to kill him.

They're REAL cute about Leafpool's death, too, neglecting to mention WHY the Sisters needed to be saved at all and just saying Leafpool's "generosity" lead to her death in that cave-in.

I'm not even going to get into everything on Bramble's entry jesus christ.

Sagewhisker's entry is ESPECIALLY fucken' dandy, framing Yellowfang's Secret like she was simply waiting patiently for Yellow to realize her 'destiny' and not actively shoving it on her at every opportunity.

Leopardstar's entry states that romantic interest in Tigerstar was part of her motivation. "Perhaps she'd hoped he would be her mate" please speak to a woman irl for once in your life.

Gray Wing's entry forgot that the reason he "blamed himself" for Bright Stream's death is because he was literally staring at his big strong brother too much and tripped on a root in front of him. It IS his fault she died.

Clear Sky/Skystar's entry is just obscene. "He regretted abandoning his son and after a fire, he encouraged him to live with him" instead of "saw his teenage child was useful now and bullied and belittled the kid and his uncle into letting Thunder come with him." "Retaining his fierceness towards his cats and outsiders which caused his son to leave" instead of "murdering, brutalizing, and abusing everyone around him caused Thunder to leave." I'll just say this tho; "Fierce" is an interesting way to spell "Cruel."

It's interesting that they don't point out that a major part of Jagged Peak's arc was proving he was "Just As Good" as every other cat in spite of his disability, thanks to his introduced-and-pregnant-in-the-same-book wife becoming his life coach, only earning Clear Sky's respect after being allowed to physically lead a patrol in Blazing Star. Instead they frame him finding his place through taking care of kits, which... was something he seemed to resent in the actual series, considering how the books suddenly treat Gray Wing's protective treatment of him as a terrible thing in Blazing Star because he "didn't give him a chance". But at the same time I actually strongly dislike Jagged Peak and his messy, frustrating character arc so I'm not really UPSET with it. Just... noting it. I suppose this is the official direction they're taking away from it?

Shadowstar's entry is barely even 3 paragraphs yikes.

SHORT STORY THOUGHTS

And if you're wondering if the 4 brand new stories they smooshed into the end in a desperate attempt to make the rush job worth buying are good? No. Of course not. They're all slop.

Story 1: Firestar and Graystripe

First one's a marginally cute story about Graystripe and Firestar which is setting up the framing device linking the mini-tales together. They both remember this situation where Firestar fell into a ditch wrong. The punchline is that Thunderstar remembers it perfectly and they're both like, "WOW! Too bad Thunderstar's memory sucks!"

It's not terrible, but it does feel a bit pointless. But, hey, if you want more Firestar and Graystripe in the series that tosses them fanservice at every turn, who am I to judge?

Story 2: Dovewing and Ivypool

The next one is the Dovewing/Ivypool reconciliation passage everyone's talking about. It's... fine, but immensely dissatisfying to me.

Dovewing is apparently having problems adjusting to her Clan, grapples a little bit with the fact she has no friends but is going to be finding meaning in helping tigerHeartstar "bring the new ShadowClan into existence." She ultimately decides that she needs to talk to her sister, and begs for reassurance that Ivypool believes in her, feeling that her support can help her get through this difficult time in her life.

I think its biggest problem is that Dovewing was not the right choice for the POV here.

Dove was never the one responsible for the rift in their relationship. Ivypool is. Ivypool is the one who was jealous, willing to sabotage anything that would put Dovewing closer to Tigerheart, and continues to be generally aggressive towards her. So when Dovewing is reaching out to Ivypool in hopes of them reconciling, it feels wrong because Ivypool is the one that should be reaching out to Dovewing. SHE is the one who has some things to apologize for, and to show how much she loves and misses her.

It's even kind of frustrating, because Dovewing can never catch a break. She has to have these problems to force her to reach out, Ivypool even ends up suggesting that she leave and come home and take her kids with her, but in the end even a LITTLE bit of assurance from her aggressive sister helps.

I feel super bad for Dovewing, man. She deserves better than this cheap writing. What was the point of such an unsatisfying, rushed reconciliation, shoved into a crummy field guide, when we KNOW from the newest book that they're just going to use tension between them as part of the drama anyway?

shouldn't have even been written, imo. Even ends off with, "They'll always have each other :)" which is so... cliche. It's TIRED. Are any of you really happy with just getting a retconned platitude in a good-for-nothing field guide, instead of seeing complicated, INTERESTING feelings in a main book?

Story 3: Alderheart and Twigbranch

A tale of Cherryfall getting sick during TBC and Alderheart sneaks back into the territory to treat her. Also Crowfeather has a scene where he yells at him. Charming.

Twigbranch comes up with a diversion while Alderheart does his work, which is cute. It's a fine story.

Story 4: Clear Sky

Trash. Three dogs spawn in the middle of a gathering so that Skystar can have an uwu big boy sendoff saving his grandkit. Then he goes to StarClan and throws a fit because they can't give him ANOTHER life, becoming so upset that he attacks the nearest woman. Naturally, Shadowstar brushes it off because it's not the first time Clear Sky has pummeled her in the midst of an adult tantrum and this book series thinks violence is fine if their favorite sadboy does it.

Then Gray Wing brings him to the magic mirror pool where you can see the living, to confirm that Star Flower is ok and that makes him feel better.

Then it launches into Firestar saying "ouuuugh yum I LOVE the taste of his butthole. Clear Sky is so misunderstood, He Just Loved Too Much."

to which Graystripe responds, "Yes, he was a good and amazing person and his farts smells SO good, and can you believe that some people think StarClan punished his Clan for his arrogance? As if he ever did anything wrong, ever?"

Firestar, indignant, refutes it with, "Ugh!! StarClan would NEVER be interesting, we don't punish living cats we just float around and make vague, frustrating prophecies that do nothing but pad the word count. Why cant ppl understand that, gosh."

who wrote this? Gray Wing??

[sillyratcreature]

Rivulet sketch with a new brush! i might post more experimental stuff like this to get back into posting

[ganonfan1995]

I guess maybe that’s why I can’t find myself to really hate shows like H@zbin too much. It’s definitely not for me, but the fact that it can exist and thrive so successfully outside of the typical industry makes me a bit hopeful that more indie projects can make it too.

[wifegideonnav]

that post about putting on the dune audiobook at a party where everyone was on lsd except it was my friend playing the dead flag blues when our group was wizard high in our second year of college

[tomatoluvr69]

Lunchmaxxing we got toasted pearl couscous, baby kale (soooooo quick and easy to grow at home if you’ve got a south facing window and a seeding flat. but that’s another story), oyster mushrooms, white onion, tangerine rind, fish sauce, and garlic slices in a white wine cream sauce w/ freshly cracked pepper & some parmesan

[koiisure]

DOES ANYONE EVER THINK ABOUT THAT?"?!1 guh

IM SO DESPERATE FOR ARRAY CRUMBS IM SO SURE THIS IS THE MOST I CAN HAVE RN

uhm more insane ideas under the cut

Ok so explaining this whole thing. in i actually frogot waht rolled but like ep 39 i think? or 38? after others find out that they were supposed to find like "artefacts" of the array to beat the trickster.

Bizly says smth like very paraphrased but "(because we didnt get to the artefacts) i reskinned the hunt as the training arc."

THE TRAINING ARC IS MY KEY TO THE ARRAY LORE!!!!

theres theres 5 people in the array, and there are 5 guardians. [maybe 6 smirks let me explain]

Ik in the drawing i drew clarence in the place of jason [smth smth about jason making a paper throne for himself and clarence uhm geting rid of other "thrones" and creating a new one for himself,, GUH]

also guh jasona nd clarence,,,,they guhfh them. Jason being "alive" is also my only hope on that clarence is "alive" somewhere PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

but but but i actually think if we draw paralells between array and the guardians. clarence would be the hidden 6th island.

if you frogot yes. thers a hidden 6th island that william saw for a bit when he fell off the ice.

4 around one island and a 6th one hidden,,,

Like listen listen the pararells of the 5 thrones and a secret,,,6th one

like the 5 thrones crumbling and 6th one standing,,,,GUH

like we saw one of the islands literally crumble. And i think if we couldve had more time i think other islands wouldve crumbled too.

also the fact that two of the guardians are brothers PLEASEEE PLEASEE LET SOMEONE IN THE ARRAY BE SIBLING PLEASEE IM ON MY KNEES PLEASEEEE

if one of the array is like a rat or a stuida nimal like hammilton is i will lose it lmao. I WANT TO NKOW WHAT THE ARTEFACTS WOUDLVE BEEN

we know one was a skull WHAT WERE THE OTHERS.#?2

the fact also im p sure one artefact is in freedom city?? or like it was in one of the bigger cities i know that for sure. WHYY IS IT IN THE LIVING WORLD WAHT HUH EXCUSEEE MEE HOW DID IT GET THERE.

wait omg,,,mato. Mato moves between two worlds. waht if someone in the array did that. [NOT CLARENCE NOT CLARENCE KILLS YOU GET HIM OUT OF MY HEAD I HATE THAT] that would explain why one artefact was in the living world,,,,,

like i so hard think that the guardians were based off of wahtever ideas bizly had in his head for the array and just yeah reused it hard styule.

ALSO UHM I SHOULD SAY EVERYTHING WRITTEN HERE IS FROM MEMORYY!!! I DID NOT GO BACK TO WATCH THE EPISODES TO FACT CHECK!!

i want bizly to explain what the 6th island underneath was,,,,,like man. i could build of my nonexsisten array so much better,,,,we know the island beneath ahs like led lights or smth but that was itttt.

also you may have noticed i left out mal, thats because I HATE HIMMMMM

[comradecowplant]

I was on board for the season 1 nostalgia circle jerk (ily Seven ❤❤❤), I could even overlook the Interesting "put him in a scifimagic flesh & blood android body that will have zero further consequences to either Picard's personal journey or the greater scientific reality of such an invention" choice, but season 2 skywalker family legacy "Picard's ancestor is so important that she needs a secret time agency body guard thatfornoreasonlooksliketheladyhehasawilltheywonttheywith" baloney is not doing it for me. The entire season so far coulda been a TNG Q/time travel shenanigans 2-parter. Best part is the toxic yuri between Borg Queen and doc "we've got bad Marvel one-liners at home" jurati, otherwise I'm sadly getting pretty bored with Picard.

"why are people mad about AI being pushed on them when they SHOULD be mad about all the privacy erosion??"

1) plenty of us bitches are mad and annoyed about both, actually.

2) the privacy erosion has become the normalized state of existence for the average person for the last 10 fucking years at least, its snuck in, they disguise it as Convenient Features to Help You Shop Better, and thats IF they bother telling you theyre doing it, instead of just opting all your shit in without asking, its so fucking normalized that yeah, a lot of people do not bother to question it, they just sigh in resignation and go, yeah, i guess, do i even have other options? and they do, but theyre an investment of learning and time you dont have capacity for at the moment, or maybe you do but you feel like you dont bc it feels like a bigger hurdle than it is, and computer stuff is already kind of intimidating, cos man, what if you hit the wrong thing and brick your expensive ass machine? easier to just let it data harvest, you guess, it cant be THAT bad, can it? plenty of people live like this, put up with this, seek this out, its easier not to resist the privacy erosion. fucking whatever, i guess. yeah, i guess twitter i mean X, or walmart, or facebook, can just have all of my contact info and my phone number and my birthday and phone contacts and bank information and fuck it, give them my ssn while im at it. less effort later. this is just how tech has been for the last 10 yrs. no one can effectively get rage clicks on this topic anymore bc we all fucking know. it sucks and we know. what do you want me to fucking do about it? i have other shit to deal with more urgently. etc

3)

you cant turn anything on or log onto anything or go anywhere without hearing about whatever new shit theyre throwing AI at for no real reason, no one will fucking Shut Up about AI, and its Annoying, man
