#the element of confusion

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Okay Skylor gets a pass for taking a parachute despite having the Elemental Power of Gravity since she's evil at this point but Kai and Jay -- both of you have limited abilities to fly. Maybe at least *try* to use them before taking a parachute?

Also Sensei Garmadon would have been fine -- don't tell me he fell from a much higher height in "Spellbound" than in "The Day of the Dragon" -- the man was up in mere seconds after falling from a plane.

i think it would be very funny to consider for skin creatures the one 'do you reproduce by budding' moment from spongebob but its like Luo Binghe trying to be a dick to Liu Qingge specifically and in the process saying the most unhinged shit.

Man being like: What you breath air?

and very confused Qingge is just: You don't?

Ik im like head in charge of bitching and moaning when it comes to Hiro mashima but one thing I will always appreciate is how he names his characters. A lot of anime, even stuff that's set in fantastical locations, tends to stick to Japanese names which makes sense but I fr love the diversity of culture in the fairy tail characters names it really does help to make Fiore feel like a different world but still adjacent to our earth. I never realized how much that would add until I watch other shows and realize that even though they aren't supposed to be set in Japan I still am kinda surprised that it isn't because all of the characters have Japanese names.

In fairy tail the location is a kind of earth adjacent alternate reality where people have magic. It really feels like a modern day fairy tale, the speaking, clothing, and style feel more modern while the technology is all much farther behind because in this universe magic is used instead. It's a fantastical world but still one rooted in reality. the names all being so diverse in origin but still many being names somone could reasonably have in the real world rather than just made up words makes that idea stick so much more then you might think at first.

Honestly another one of those worldbuilding things unique to an alien robot race is I wonder how Cybertronians' long, nearly immortal (at least in the context of organic lifespans) lives would affect their views on punitive versus restorative justice?

Ignoring the inconsistencies for a moment (and the fact that this lore is almost never acknowledged), in IDW1 it's written that Cybertronians can live basically as long as their sparks keep burning PLUS it's apparently so hard to kill a Cybertronian for good that suicidal people have to go to specialized euthanasia clinics to be thoroughly executed. (This also helps explain how a war lasted 4 million years and didn't make them as a species go extinct.) So given their near immortality, it does kinda bring to mind some questions like

Is imprisoning someone for a certain number of years even a meaningful punishment for a species with life spans in the millions of years? Does it just mean that average prison sentences are somewhere in the tens or hundreds of thousands of years? In other words, do Cybertronians just do "human prison sentences, but to a Cybertronian scale" or would they even view a time based imprisonment/other punishment as meaningful at all?

Does the fact that Cybertronians are so hard to kill affect their views towards the death penalty? As an example, do they view their near immortality as something that would be cruel to end via execution because it deprives someone of possibly millions of years to reform? Or is the death penalty strongly supported BECAUSE their immortality makes them see ending someone's life as a fitting punishment for crimes?

What about how often crimes like murder happen? If it's really hard for Cybertronians to kill each other/themselves, then a lot of crimes would end merely as assaults and not murders, aka the people involved would all survive, aka restorative justice might be more necessary in this society when "coexisting with that guy who's attempted to kill you at least once" is a common scenario to have happen. And even if there is punitive justice, well, the guy just goes to prison for a few thousand years and comes out virtually unchanged bc he and you and everyone are basically immortal.

I know "the writers are human" and all, but sometimes it feels like worldbuilding around Cybertronian age ranges is really underutilized. Like, in pretty much every series except maybe IDW2 Cybertronians don't seem to differ on their views of time/lifespans compared to humans. Like the fact that the plots of many shows/comics (at least in certain series/seasons) take place in the space of weeks, months, or maybe a couple years is rarely commented on by these beings who live for millions of years, and it doesn't seem to affect their society much. Not even with a Tolkien ent-esque style of moving very slowly and pondering things deeply before moving. If anything Cybertronians tend to be very...reckless? Prone to fickleness of the heart and mind?

SURPRISE!!!~

HahahahaHA PSYCH! Thanks to my wonderful family leaving the house so I could record the day before I left for vacation, I was able to record, find music and sound effects, and edit the whole of Part 23 before I left! 😁

This story has nearly come to its end- And my dudes- It has been one HECK OF A RIDE. 😊 This comic has really been pushing my limits in so many ways- both with recording difficult to say lines, acting out more gross situations, and pushing my vocal limits with the pain and emotion filling each incredible page. And it’s almost over- BUT ITS NOT DONE YET!!!!

All credit for the art and comic itself goes to @indieyuugure, while I lent my voice to do the dialogue and theme song in A Cappella. I also edited. Epidemic Sound covered the music. :)

To God be the glory!
