#the people in that video are probably all dead

[amariathe]

"This has been brewing for a long time. And we have the privillage, no. The blessing, to be able to fight and cement a future for those who come after us. Things like fear, things like worry, should be secondary to the primal urge to keep on fighting for what you know is the right thing. Understanding. Caring about others. Ensuring that the needs of others are taken care of. And this is where the paradox of tollerence comes in. Poeple will say 'well why would you say those violent things to Nazis, why did you play these videos of Nazis getting killed?' because we cannot create the better world without that struggle. And it's like Rose has been saying the whole time. It's like Benny was talking about at the beginning. Kamala honestly probably wasn't what we needed. Would it have been more soothing, would it have put off the inevitable? Maybe. But in the end, America as an empire is fallen. It is rotted at it's core. It is not 'for us,' it is not for the regular people, and we have to take care of ourselves. Now, is the time for you to decide how much you are willing to do for the man next to you, for the person you don't know. How much you are willing to fight for the dream of a life that you actually want. One where you are treated equally to somebody else. This is not the time for anger. This is not the time to be driven by sadness or malaise or depression. This is the time to be driven by passion. And I hope that every single person who has been watching all day today is able to find that passion and hold on to it. That you are able to find like-minded individuals to care for. To have each other's backs. To watch out for. Because the next four years are going to be fucked. The years after that are going to be fucked. But you have all of us. And to anybody, even the cute adorable little trolls I still see in my chat, we're not going anywhere. I am not going anywhere. I am not fucking moving. You move, bitch.

Do you think I'm going to be intimidated, or scared by you? It's actually quite fitting, that we started off talking about heavy metal at the beginning of the stream, because like the fucking song says, 'you've got another thing coming.'" - Jordan (Dead Domain)

cw // suicide mention, dead, dying (like skybound)

I would really love to see those process but that means they have to dedicate several episodes for him.. meanwhile I see this "Jay's evil arc" as just a side plot.

To think many things happened to the point Jay slowly loosing his mind and develop other.. personality? The apathy

You know the toxic work environment where many employees comm. suisui?? (What if) Probably that happened at some point.. or maybe several times?? And it's frustrating that he can't change that.

If not suisui then maybe many of his coworkers had low health? but forced to work? Or any other else. People keep dying (like at Skybound) yet he couldn't change anything about that.

He tried.. but the procedures. And everything everyone act normal it drives him insane. He's like alone against the whole administration.

Maybe what the others do are just.. filling forms. No matter how loud he yelled at the end they're just.. filling forms. replace people. How about anything from people who are, for example, going to comm suisui, are sick, or badly injured during a mission, etc.??

Anything about people he knows are just.. dissappear. Ignored. (What if he becomes a manager to replace the one before him?). Nobody cares about that (because they busy too). "I filled the forms". "But the procedures". Those things keep repeating and people dissappearing is a normal thing.

Those keep happening over and over it wrecked his mind. He wants to against the flow yet he's alone. The whole situation drives him insane.

It's too much to the point he battled against himself? There's when he discovered his lightning. (Maybe because) The Lightning is an unstable element, and his mental state is unstable now, too much instability the Lightning itself somehow being too much. It's accidentally out of control and just show up. And he handled all by himself eventhough he had no idea.

Maybe this what he meant by "ras rescued him from administration": Ras helped him to control his Lightning when Jay was lost. Probably wandering around.. when he finally sees the sky? Have anyone got the idea of time inside the building?

Anyway back to the administration he started to.. not caring about that place-- Alright I don't know how to continue it, the point is he passed his stage of madness and use video games to cope then become how he is now.

"Shtsp destroys his goodnes" What if he already destroyed his goodness even before using shtsp??

if you ever write that rant about the administration and post it PLEEEASE tag me in it i'd love to read your thoughts about whatever they have going on over there

TRUST ME, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE A POST TALKING ABOUT HOW THE ADMINISTRATION IS THE WORST PLACE JAY COULD HAVE WOKE UP IN AFTER THE MERGE!! yes, it's even worse than imperium

SO- I feel like we focus a lot on the comedic aspect of agents being incompetent, but for me it falls back on negligence, which is the same reason why Jay is the way he is as a manager. It's not that Jay doesn't have the skills to be a good manager, far from it, he could be doing a really good job, if he had his memories I'm pretty sure he'd be doing the same thing he did in prime empire and would oppose that whole shitty system.

But no. Like I said, it's not incompetence, it's that jay just doesn't care. His actions have no consequences that he can see, and I'm sure that every other department head in that place is equally or even more negligent and just doesn't care when things go wrong. It's a small world where everyone is seen as a tool to get the job done day in and day out, with no purpose other than that.

I also like how it all ties back into the fact that the Administration is in the Realm of Madness of all places. Doc said in a tweet that they were inspired by The Trial, and it shows because it also gives a good idea of ​​how absurd and distressing this whole system must have been for Jay when he woke up. It’s made to be a pointless maze. And it’s the worst kingdom for someone like him to wake up in, because the worst thing that could happen to him after, yk, losing all trace of his identity is starting over in a place where no one would care about that. Which also interestingly ties into Jay's alienation and inability to develop his own identity within this society. And as a consequence he obviously ends up becoming a shitty person in the process, because if he cares to go back and think about everything he's lost, he'd probably go crazy because everyone acts there like it doesn't matter.

I know we have like uh- two scenes from agent walker and this rant is actually mostly inspired by reading The Trial, but god, I wish we got more of jay living in the administration because it's a place that contradicts everything he's learned throughout the show, that contradicts what unlocked his true potential and I'm just saying it would be so interesting to see how he's had to develop this selfless shit personality to survive there. And I really would have loved to see how he goes from suddenly rejecting all the stability and security of the administration to escape, but whatever

Ye I'm not normal about the administration and agent walker, in case the 60k fic of jay living there didn't make that obvious

Was it even Jin's video that got posted???

I've been staring and trying to make sense of the angles in Keng's office for the past hour so I decided to do a write up and see if I can make sense of it... something is WEIRD.

WARNING: this post contains screenshots of SA, all those will be below the cut:

So when we as the audience are shown the shots of Keng and Non, we're shown two different angles. The first one, when Jin first opens the door, is of Keng and Non's legs. The second is of their heads/faces.

In earlier episodes we're shown a bit more of the layout of Keng's office, shown here:

But the angles just... don't make sense? When you analyze them. Like for example, here's what we see in episode 6 when Non comes to see Keng. The angle shown is of Non leaning decently far into the room, and then still only being able to see Keng above the barrier

When the video is uploaded to social media, we see this as the thumbnail, which appears to be shot at a low angle BETWEEN the two barriers. But that angle doesn't make sense when shot from the door.

You can see it in this shot of Jin recording, it looks like the extruding corner is in the way of whatever he's shooting.

Not to mention, in the shot of Non showing up to that office, the book shelf is pretty obtrusive of the view of what's happening. It seems like, in order for the shot of their heads to be what's shown in the thumbnail, the person would've had to be further into the room

Add on to that, the couch itself is way too small for someone to be able to see around the barrier one way AND the other way. So basically it was impossible for someone at Jin's angle to see BOTH the legs around one end of the barrier AND the heads around the other.

With the corners, the bookshelf, and the angle in mind, it seems to me that the only angle it makes sense for Jin to have seen and recorded without going further into the room is that of the legs, not their faces...

Especially since he records low, but the thumbnail picture is basically the same height as the couch... which to me, looks lower than where Jin is holding the camera

Conclusion: ????

Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe this was just BOC getting clever with their angles and shooting and they didn't think people would dissect the layout of the room this hard. I AM sure that Jin could only reasonably see the legs or the faces and not both.

And as I said above, the angle of the door and bookshelf and barriers lead me to believe that Jin could've only really seen their legs But then that brings up the question of how did Jin even know it was Non? He's angry enough that it seems like he did... unless he's angry in a completely different direction and is mad that a teacher is taking advantage of a student, but that doesn't seem to fit either, since the anger on his face seems personal...

Plus I want to bring this back. Top saw Keng and Non together and texted Tee that he knew where Non got the money. They could've guessed or spied on them to guess what Keng asked for in exchange. And who has the money to set up a hidden camera JUST to screw over Non? Por. I'm not saying that's definitely what happened, but Por HATES Non and wanted to get rid of him. I don't doubt Por/Top/Tee would hesitate to release that tape of Non if they got the opportunity...

I'm definitely grasping at straws, but something about this whole situation doesn't feel right. Jin isn't shown to post the video himself, in fast there's discrepancies from what's shown on his computer screen vs what's shown of the person uploading the video.

Changing a computer from light mode to dark mode is incredibly easy so I don't know why they would've left a mistake like that instead of fixing it in post-production. Plus it looks to me like Jin is looking at the already-posted video and crying over it, not that he's posting it himself (first screenshot is from the BTS for this episode btw).

I've been on the "Jin didn't post the video" train the entire time for a couple of reasons:

Jin isn't shown to click the button, only sit at his laptop, cry, and then eventually spill alcohol on it and short it out. If the writers wanted us to hate Jin then they would've just shown him posting it so that we could deal with the fact that he's a shit person. They didn't do that, so I don't think that Jin posted the video.

Because in episode 4, Flukes yells at Tee that he knows what they did, and he names both the broken camera AND the released video... but Jin wasn't present in this scene. Why yell it at Tee if Jin is the one who both took the video and posted it?

But with the question of all the angles shown and the doorway and bookshelf it makes me wonder... was the video even Jin's?

after the worst heist they’ve ever had (arguably worse than blackwater, considering the losses) charles smith, a wanted man in a world that already hates him, volunteers himself as a distraction to allow the others to board a boat and escape

he walks right past lawmen, drawing them toward him ON PURPOSE, for these men that he met only some number of months ago. somehow he escapes this pursuit. somehow he boards a stagecoach and makes it all the way back to shady belle. for all he knows, that sacrifice is for nothing. for all he knows, everyone he tried to help died or were captured

but he worries about everyone else. he helps sadie get the rest of the gang to a safe place. they go to collect hosea and lenny’s bodies and give them a proper burial. he’s probably thinking about arthur and the others the entire time, but he doesn’t stop once, because these people need his help, too. as long as charles is breathing, he will be selfless. he will fight for everyone else no matter what the circumstances

as someone who isnt super excited for sotm for certain reasons I am really glad that like. it's clear that since ruin theyve been setting up for carnival and sotm IS carnival. so now that carnival is finally coming out, afterwards theyll be moving on to other plotlines since the main villain stuff is sorted out

I'm just rlly happy to finally see a clear direction for how the story is gonna be playing out with like "okay these games were leading up to this so after this will be open possibilites" instead of like. absolutely no info about each upcoming game and being left guessing before it releases and just having to wait and see what's in it and if anything you're looking forward to will be in it

it feels like they have a plan and a solid direction for what they're trying to do and after carnival releases thatll be all that buildup coming to fruition. & we already know from the Scott interview that theres another release 'beyond sotm' that's 'super exciting' so maybe thatll be focusing on another big currently untouched (which is basically all of them) plotline, or even the big campaign game that dawko has been calling security breach 2

Oh my god they are cloning them. This is why the crew is so expendable. They have a technology to clone them so easily that recovered body only costs 5$. This is why on every new planet everyone are back on the ship even if they all died like nothing happened.
