Pssst...you there...y'know how a lot of the recent TMP episodes have features themes of capitalism being The Horrors? Specifically self-destruction in exchange for money and harming others for the rich only for them to turn on you? Like humanity being lured to it's own demise? Yeah?

Something tells me that if the Extinction replaced the Eye as head entity as per the Blender Theory goes, the new entities got molded based off it.

A "theory" regarding Sampo's abilities

okay so this is an absolute mess and more of a ramble but I think it might be worth sharing so here I am Since I'm very normal about Sampo Koski, I've noticed some paralels to.. osme things... and i ended up with a concept that Sampo might be aware/know the future/what is supposed to happen, aka the same/similar thing to what Elio is using as a base to write his scripts, or is aware of the scripts that Elio creates. On Belobog we don't encounter stellaron hunters (for obvious reasons), but Sampo does end up being the one who affects the way the plot goes and actively puts it in motion, he's the one in control (to some extent) He also appears to be aware of stuff that has yet to happen and its possible outcomes (getting Natasha even before we started fighting Svarog, knowing that we will arrive on Luofu despite it being an unplanned stop, the possible future Belobog catastropy) There's 2 ways to approach this: 1. He works with how it's supposed to go, (following the trailblazer around, kinda like stellaron hunters happen to do) 2. He deliberately works against it (Jarilo VI is supposed to face destruction but he prevents it, could be for personal reasons) Theres also the whole thing about him breaking the 4th wall, which could be connected. Awarnesss of the fact that this is a game could result in him having a knowledge of what the plot of said game is.

I strongly HC Sampo to be an Elation emanator, so I thought about what being an elation emanator could mean, as in, how realistically the powers could manifest From the recent guide that was released along side the 2.2 stream, we have a small entry about Masked Fools which confirms that the path powers are DIRECTLY tied to their masks (this could mean both metaphorical or physical masks but from what i get from the context here it most likely refers to the physical ones?? the concept works with both possibilities tho so whatever <3 )

We know that sampo doesn't have his mask currently (which also works in a symbolic way, Masks represent the devotion to Elation, him not having it could represent how he wants to distance himself from what Elation is considered to be and pursue his own idea of it instead. The general description provided here for how masked fools are doesn't exactly fit him either whichmight further prove that idea, i should write a seperate post on that, anyways-) , so how the hell can he do shit that we assumed earlier was Elation-related powers? i have 2 possible explanations for this 1. Him being an emanator lets him use the path powers without a need for a mask, if thats the case - the mask would only provide a powerup 2. Elation emanator powers are something else altogether

when we look at his current power set/abilities it can all be tied to the fact that this is a game so, him bieng an emanator of elation would allow him to ignore the rules of this world/mainupulate said rules, simple as that it would also explain why he can break the 4th wall, why he is aware of the future events, what leads to them and/or how to stop them in the first place and how he can do stuff that contradicts what's been established lore vise (like how nobody should be able to cross the barrier between the Overworld and Underworld), those rules don't apply to him, he's beyond them. But there's more we DO have an in game example of people already messing with the reality in the same manner - Silver Wolf From what I gathered (with help of some friends of mine mwah mwah), the "reality editing" abilites of Punklorde people are directly tied to a technology present in said world - that combined with the world view of those living here results with them reating the world they live in as if it was a game

Adding onto that, during "punklorde mentality" mission we get to hear Leonard say this:

"Masked fools believe it really exists" so are the Masked Fools aware that someone could posses *actual* (not provided by technology) power to alter/manipulate reality and ignore the established rules of the world? We can kinda see such thing happening with Aha in stimulated universe, not only do they break the 4th wall, but according to Herta they also seem to be affecting the stimulated universe itself Aha's manipulation of reality is also mentioned in the "Glimpses into the Beyond"

So maybe to wrap it all up: 1. Sampo could be aware of the possible future events and use the reality manipulation abilities/the fact that the rules don't apply to him to achieve a desired outcome 2. Him and the Stellaron Hunters have some paralels in the narrative when it comes to the role that they play and what they do?? kinda??? 3. Punklorde people could be affiliated with Elation to some extent, even if not directly blessed by it I am probably VERY wrong about all of this but honestly I'm having fun with this theory so idc <3

i don't follow dungeon Meshi discussions closely and also haven't seen much in depth analysis of the marginalization of halflings specifically but I feel like the Infantilization aspect is focused on without acknowledging the ways they are often also Dehumanized (little weird considering the usage of "human" in the context of the story but I think it fits well enough). Like they are considered unskilled and immature due to their appearance + shorter relative lifespans, but also they are considered shady, used as literal bait (for sirens and succubi), and fucking disappeared when they come into contact with dangerous artifacts. Like both are significantly negative, but one is a bit more Obviously Violent in a way that I feel like is under discussed.

The Entity

[fic-over-cannon]

I think part of what makes Jason Todd so compelling is that he’s the perfect horror monster.

He’s Freud’s unheimlich, the return of the repressed. He is Bruce’s failures come back to haunt him. He’s Jason Todd, son of Bruce Wayne. He’s a ghost and the body is the house. He’s his own haunting. There’s a dead boy somewhere in the mix, and the body of the man who he was supposed to become. He is grief and loss and injustice long buried come clawing back from the grave but that horrifies the world he wakes up in. Batman suspected Robin of murder before he died. Red Hood is that suspicion brought to life and doubled down on.

Barbara Creed wrote that the horror movie spectator identifies with both the victim and the monster. Jason is both. He’s a kid murder victim who had a difficult start in life. He’s the man that put six heads in a duffel bag and tried to kill his little brother. Jason’s tragedy is that being a victim made him a monster. He’s Jason Todd, the uncanny son of Bruce Wayne who is both victim and monster.

Hey guys

So Error took Gwen, right?

What if, and hear me out here, it's taking her to the Extinction's clocktower- (gets shot)

It's very funny to me whenever people complain about continuity or changes to the "canon" in Doctor Who because there's the whole UNIT dating controversy, which is hilarious peak long-running TV series with multiple writers shenanigans, and which still has not and probably never will be definitively resolved.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for part 2 of the "Theory Into Practice" Stream series last night. Here's How far I got in blender by the end of the night. Next time I'm going to add the second group of characters and flesh out the background a bit more.

Here's how the scene looks after bringing it into godot. The blown-out lighting I encountered last night was an easy fix, it had to do with the way I was adding the lighting passes together for debugging in the shaders.

Otherwise, the UV map for the character failed to scale and rotate correctly, and the flat areas of color on the stove and background arches aren't rendering properly. So I'll need to take another pass on the exporter and see what that's about.
