Thinking about people not liking what happened at the end of dawntrail like… hmm.
Did you not remember the stuff with the Yok Huy. Nobody is gone if you remember them. The phrase that’s been with us for nearly the entire game, “For those we have lost….” Emet Selch entrusting us not only with the legacy of humanity in general but specifically with the memories of the Ancients and Elpis.
Just because people are gone doesn’t mean they aren’t still with us.
But the people of Neo-Alexandria are kept from that. They can’t remember anyone they’ve lost because their memories were stolen and locked away in an eternal purgatory, unable to move on or be reincarnated. The quest where you go to the graves in Heritage Found was a big moment where I was like. Huh. This fucking sucks actually.
The endless are just computer simulations, and they exist because Sphene can’t bear to let them go. Can’t even let her living citizens mourn or carry on legacies.
And that’s not even mentioning the fact that she needs the souls of innocent *living* people to power this all.
I think it’s a really good metaphor for the digital age, becoming disconnected from our irl communities, uploading your entire life on social media. Profiles of loved ones who have passed on. AI chat bots providing temporary comfort but no real human connection. All of that technology requiring enough energy to slowly but surely contribute to the destruction of our planet.
It all seems pretty clear to me as an allegory but like, I guess some people just didn’t make that connection? Or maybe they just don’t think about all the AI stuff in the same way I do.
#dawntrail#dawntrail spoilers#ffxiv#my post#obviously not saying irl communities are the only type of connection worth having#I’m not trying to throw the baby away with the bath water wrt internet relationships#or like. in this metaphor. all of neo alexandrian society#THEMES!#lol#reminds me of posts that have said like “wish they focused on one area per expansion’#Sharalyan + Garlemald was TOO MUCH!!#sorry no that’s really stupid#all the areas in an expansion relate to the central theme in pretty major ways#I’ll only address the ones I’ve seen people make complaints about ‘not being coherent’#stormblood: revolution endwalker: hope in the face of absolute despair dawntrail: family / culture / connection#wow stories have themes and aren’t just events happening in order. wild#N’ephele’s notes

marina designed the bosses in the memverse to represent the biggest traumas of those trapped in the deep sea metro:
- fighting and killing people who look just like them
- being forcibly imprisoned and put under constant surveillance
- 8-ball
#side order spoilers#side order#splatoon#splatoon side order#parallel canon#asynchronous rondo#pinging marciale#if it's unclear what i'm talking about with the second one:#the layered rotator's theme is called 'octopticon'#this is a play on 'panopticon' - a hypothetical perfect prison where all of the cells are in a circular formation around a watchtower#in which the warden resides. the warden uses a search light to surveil the prisoners. the warden can see every prisoner at all times but#the prisoners can never tell if they are heing watched or not.#in the room where you fight asynchronous rondo the walls are all prison cells.#asynchronous rondo's lower level has a search light that rotates around and surveils the area

cant believe when im consuming deltarune theories i have to sit through takes like "yeah I guess ANOTHER HIM sounds kinda like gasters theme but theres no proof" or "yeah people assume the intro narrator is gaster but we dont actually know"
like do yall need Toby to spell it out in big block letters for you?
OH WAIT. HE DID.
#incredibly difficult to believe that anyone whos ever deliberately listened to both songs cant tell theyre variants of each other#and man. come on. the twitter takeover of the UT account by an entity whose name was six letters long and blacked out#an entity who spoke in all caps and made direct references to entry 17 and the fact that players had been 'looking for him'#lead DIRECTLY into the intro sequence to ch1 back when it was just 'survey program'#therefore. the twitter entity is gaster. therefore. the gonermaker entity is gaster. THEREFORE. ANOTHER HIM#which is AN OBVIOUS REFERENCE to the 'Mus_st_him.ogg' filename for Gaster's Theme in undertale#and is literally a slight variation of the exact same musical motif. IS OBVIOUSLY GASTERS THEME#look i dont hold it against the average person for not connecting those dots#but people who are actually making videos on this shit and want to be taken seriously? they should do better.#excercise your brain cells my man#(except for you andrew cunningham. you never let me down)#on top of the fact that all this is actually really obvious if you look into it at even a surface level#ut/dr are not the kind of games where everything is spelled out for you#half the appeal in the first place is the way the story is told through hints and implications#and while theres room for speculation in many areas. toby is irrefutably an absolute nut for themes and motifs. so when you find them#you bet your ass it aint a coincidence#anyway rant over. im just TIRED of these takes#idk if any of this is actually coherent i havent slept#freak speak

The wassibi, threatening you with a very bad time.
Wassibi are mid-sized (11-16 lb) solitary mustelids. This species is native throughout the lands south of the Viper seaway, thriving as generalists in a great diversity of habitats (though rarely occur in very arid environments or at high elevations). They are omnivores, using their broad noses and strong claws to dig out earthworms, beetle larvae, roots and tubers, foraging along the ground for insects, scorpions, bird eggs, fallen fruit, and small lizards and snakes, and occasionally scavenging carcasses and trash. They are particularly noted for their ability to find honey- splitting open bees nests with their claws and leisurely consuming larvae and honeycomb, seemingly untroubled by bee stings.
Wassibi are known above all else for their devastatingly noxious defensive anal gland spray. When threatened, they hiss, arch their backs and tails, raise their fur, and point their anus menacingly in the direction of danger. Should posturing fail, they will unleash their spray at the threat's face. Their anal glands have powerful muscular control and the attack is devastatingly accurate at up to 10 ft. In addition to having an atrocious stench, the liquid is mildly irritating to the skin, painful and temporarily blinding to the eyes, and can induce intense nausea and vomiting. The smell is resistant to washing, and can take weeks to fade. Most predators who experience a hit will learn to recognize the wassibi's stark aposematic coloring and avoid anything resembling it.
In addition to this potent defensive weaponry, they have dense fur and thick, loose skin, which renders them difficult for most predators to effectively grasp or pierce without risk of being bitten themselves. As such, wassibi have few consistent natural predators and are given a wide birth by most other animals. Their tendency to walk boldly in the open and sometimes even scavenge at carcasses alongside much larger predators commonly lends them cultural reputations of fearlessness. Wassibi are known for attacking large venomous snakes that potentially threaten their young, which (along with their frequent consumption of scorpions and bees) leads to common misconceptions that they are entirely immune to venom. They have no such resistance, rather their thick fur and loose skin cause bites and stings to land less effectively- most stings fail to penetrate their fur altogether, and bites often deal glancing blows that inject little to no venom.
Their biggest predatory threats come from humans. Wassibi meat is fairly rich and not unappealing to most palates used to wild game, but they are rarely considered worth the effort and risk of killing for consumption alone. They are more commonly hunted for their pelts (worn commonly by Wogan and North Wardi herders in hopes of deterring attacks from predators), bones, claws, and fat (used in traditional medicine for their purported antivenom properties). This hunting is fairly limited in scope overall, and most Wassibi populations remain stable.
#creatures#Here's the badger I mentioned in prev post. Together they are the two skunk analogues of this region#(not sure if actual skunks are a thing anywhere in the setting or nah)#Stink badger but actually a mustelid#Though while looking into this I found out there IS actually a true mustelid with a defensive spray (striped polecat)#Kind of interesting that the examples of aposematic coloring in mammals are all variations on the stark black and white theme#I mean it makes sense because these are the most vivid contrasting colors mammalian fur can develop and most mammals#are covered in fur. But I suppose one Could in theory have aposematic coloring on a large area of bare skin that's like.#bright and colorful like a mandrill or smth#OH the streaked tenrec exists but that's the only exception I can think of

i don’t think chuuya’s complexity as a character is spoken about enough honestly. one of the recurring themes in bsd is that good people do bad things, and bad people do good things, and morality is complicated and never perfect in any person because it is literally a concept of humanity.
to me, chuuya embodies this the most because while he has taken countless lives and doesn’t hesitate to do so, his most prominent lore centers around him protecting the people he cares about (the sheep in fifteen, his colleagues in storm bringer, the mafia in the cannibalism arc, he even shows concern for Dazai despite their complications).
there is no debate that he has killed and caused devastation with his ability, but he was also a child when he was burdened with the responsibility of protecting the entirety of the sheep, and was still a child when he was recruited into the mafia which would cause anyone’s moral compass to become questionable.
chuuya is loyal to and protective of the people he cares about, and his biggest moral complication is that he will do anything for them.
#i just think bsd is full of all these amazing themes regarding humanity and morals#and i think it goes unnoticed somtimes#there is *depth*#and every character has grey areas#anyway#bsd#bungou stray dogs#chuuya nakahara#chuuya#bungo stray dogs#lunarelly rants

Uhhghfdss uhh going to a (themed) bday party this evening... Been like a deer in the headlights for a week now because I'm bracing myself for something that's very probably far nicer than I imagine but ough.... kinda panicking so I do nothing instead of organizing myself :)))))
#misc#unimportant rant#theme is “song title” so i chose a simple option where i can still be comfortable walking around#french song named salsa du démon it's an old shitpost song and somehow everyone knows it still#more like salsa of the anxiety demon#as usual afraid to come off as rude because I will be staying near the walls and food and never set a foot on the dancing area#I only really know one person there and it's my friend/host of the bday/bday person

Concept or Sketchpage of Ko'jin's possible design for my MonHun x Loz au just went up on kofi!
This was a very sudden idea that I HAD thought about before but refused to work on it in fear that it was too crazy or weird. but nah, my au my rules, we're throwing another god in there.
🌙 Full image on Kofi -> Full image (plus a tiny bit of character info) is available to members $1 and up only. The finished and final design will be available if/when its done. 🌙MonHun Blog: @ballad-of-elgado -> Not as active on there as I am here, but all my Monster hunter content can be found there under the "ballad-art" tag.
#kofi#monhun x loz#Fierce Deity#kheprriart#kheprriverse#Ko'jin (Elgado)#<- eventually he'll probs get an au-specific name but if i ever talk ab him with 'kojin' as a name i'll make sure to include 'elgado' as we#like 'elgado kojin' or 'kojin elgado'#even if he's not necessarily from elgado either but it just happens to be the blog theme mainly#plus i think elgado is a neat area#face markings are meant to somewhat resemble some of monhun's character creation makeup options#mainly just the red parts tho#will be reblogging this to my monhun blog#edit: new character tag ->#Minoue (Elgado)

any time i imagine kid xelqua lounging in grian's house, he is watching sesame street or dragon ball z, with snacks sat on the cushion next to him.
he shoves the snacks into the crease of the couch when he thinks he might get in trouble for eating on the furniture and doesn't want to get caught. (he would not have got in trouble, but now he will, just for that)
#he watches sesame street solely bc i imagine he has a rly positive reaction to doc and joe hills#big starry eyes. grian is SOO confused the first time he sees this reaction. like. he thinks the puppet is real ??#(joe hills under the table holding the puppet up)#we've barely seen the inside of grian's s10 build but i have it so vivid in my head#where hte kitchen is. the bed. the bathroom. theres a box tv#he has fish themed wallpaper and multi coloured muted rugs around#his bar stools don't match each other#he has to light his stove every time he uses it#his coffee table is way too detailed around the edges and legs#his bedroom doesn't have a wall its just a loft looking over his living area. theres a ladder to it. but he flies up#its just a large nest on the floor full of blankets#storage on the other side#I CANT DRAW BACKGROUNDS I TRIED FOR THIS ITS SO HARD AND UGLY#picture it in ur mind with me hold my hand#he hangs sliced dried oranges in his window for the smell and decor..

embracing pink genuinely changed my life......when I was little I didn't want anything pink cause it was too "girly" (our society if fucked upp) like I couldn't stand to wear pink until a few years ago, a whole grown woman but I had such a problem with it...finally admitted to myself that pink looks really good on me and was like wait why the fuck am I caring so much about what others will think about what I put on my body? so I went ALL pink. it genuinely changed my life it was the first time I really said fuck it. fuck everyone else this is for ME. everything about my life has changed for the better since then not even being dramatic
anyway PINK >>>>>>>>>>>>>
#random rant sorry but I am having a moment in the hairdresser waiting area#and I miss my pink theme I need to go back I think

Hello i have come to request a costume for holloween owo
Well a cutie like you just has to dress cute! I know! How about this cat girl-maid outfit with ears tail and all!!! I know you’ll look amazing! (I’ve even got a new type of tail guaranteed to not fall out! I know you’ll love wearing it!)
What do you say cutie?
#though even if you say you won’t wear it#that will only make it worse for you#since the tail also has a very cute cat themed toy for your front area#and I’d love an excuse to use it#so please#do say no cutie#I’m sure you won’t regret it…#in the long run :3#.#i-like-talking#forcefem
