#striving to make it better one.

Happy new years everyone.

living weapon whumpee who's never known anything but pain and violence.

their existence hurts. they were made to be effective, not happy, and their masters decided that keeping them in constant pain provided better results. they're wilder, more unpredictable, and the pain keeps them from thinking straight enough to question anything.

they're only given painkillers, only allowed a respite from their seemingly endless suffering, after a successful mission. it keeps them loyal, and most importantly, teaches their brain to associate acts of violence with relief and rewards.

everyone they've ever met has treated them as a tool, a monster, or both. they don't know how to be anything else.

that is until they're rampaging through a village, destroying, killing, whatever their masters demand of them. whatever will give them a few blissful hours of numbness.

one of the villagers steps out of a ruined building and looks them straight in the eyes. whumpee expects fear, hatred, disgust, the things they see in the faces of every person who's ever crossed their path. but they see something completely different.

compassion.

whumpee is so stunned, they don't think to move or do anything at all as the villager steps closer, gently reaching out a hand to cup whumpee's face.

"oh, poor thing." they murmur, taking in the creature in front of them - part human, part animal, part machine. "they've done a number on you, huh?"

whumpee blinks at them. pain continues to course through their body, but the gentle hand on their cheek distracts them, even if just a little. all the indistinct noise in their foggy, addled mind finally goes quiet.

caretaker had stepped out in front of the being destroying their home with the intention to get through to it or die trying, and the expectation to absolutely die trying.

they did not at all expect the seemingly feral mishmash of metal, fur, and flesh to lean so heavily into their touch that they nearly collapsed into caretaker's arms.

The "I thought that was a butch lesbian but it's just Sol Badguy" meme has me convinced that a significant portion of GG fans don't know that Guilty Gear even has women in it

ngl, "I'm the only one who understands [x] character" or "only ten people actually get [x] character" is like the #1 biggest red flag to me that a person probably will have an inaccurate interpretation of a character. because if you've decided that you understand that character in a uniquely objective way over others, you inherently wall yourself off from alternate opinions by deciding they're wrong on the basis of simply not being the exact same as yours. if you can't incorporate or even just ponder other people's perspectives, people who have lived different lives and are approaching the content through different but potentially very useful lenses, you might miss out on some extremely enlightening and fascinating interpretations. building yourself an insulated echo chamber is probably the worst thing you could do when assessing a character like that

Paracelsus glossary has been updated. It's so sweet knowing that he does like aba

Also, I find it interesting that back when he was Nagel, he would inforce his wants and desires upon his wielders/hosts to what he wanted them to be and what he wanted in general wich would be a puppet thay had nothing but a sick lust for blood and violence, but now it has reversed to aba being able to change him to what she wants and can now even go farther away from his shapshifting abilities was able to do breaking the limits of his powers or at least breaking the limits on we knew he could do

slayer said in the audio drama, if Paracelsus didn't want this, he wouldn't have allowed it to happen and hell he did make an attempt to do so with him manipulating aba into getting more blood for him but then stopped

so, at least in my mind, he is ok with this he is allowing her to do this to him

But it also makes me wonder this during the time of crusades, Paracelsus/Nagel never formed a bond with any of his wielders he only used them, he could only shapshift to fit the image on what the person wanted him to be weapon wise plus possession and while he was a good fighter he wasn't strong enough to defeat slayer let alone hurt him but then he was found by aba slayer says during a fight between the two that the axe was stronger then last time they fought and now in current day he has formed a bond with aba a strong one his abilities of shapshifting have grown more to a point he could be anything aba wants him to be no matter if it's a weapon or a human

So with that, I think we are seeing the effects of what happens when the axe forms a bond with its wielders it becomes more powerful, and so does the person who wields it

And while their are not as strong as other characters, slayer most likely could send them blasting off to the sky's again no matter what. I still believe that they have become stronger than they were before, and they will continue to grow stronger in the future.

This sounds dumb but my brain keeps on making this connection, and I just desperately need to talk it. I love these two so much

Also, this idk if this was there before, but it's funny to know that the hair change was just her dying her hair and not because of her blood, lol

Still baffled that Hopes so blatantly wrote Claude as the typical Evil Vaguely Middle Eastern Man set on destroying the Good White Nation for his Evil Vaguely Middle Eastern Nation that is often seen in fantasy settings - complete with him being seen as worse than a white woman who does many of the same evil deeds he does in-verse, even by his friends (should it be the bad ending route of SB) - and so many in the fandom were so eager to gobble that shit up. INSIST that "Clearly A Racist Stereotype" is LEAGUES better than "Subversion Of A Racist Stereotype" even. Like I don't think I'll ever get over how supremely fucked that is

[slyandthefamilybook]

I think a lot of people's politics (especially on here) can be summed up in that they'd rather wait for Nazis to sprout than remold the conditions that allow them to exist

[silusvesuius]

[reigningmax]

The way the same people who scream and cry about Max not being passionate and is bored of winning, are now screaming and crying about him voicing his frustrations with the car because ...he wants to keep winning... please do you know how stupid you sound

Has anyone heard "Cut You A Piece" from 35MM A Musical Exhibition? Because I have, and I have thoughts. Welcome to Dreamworld thoughts.

Like, I really want to write a version of the lyrics with Wiatt and Lewis in place of Jules and Jessie.
