Thinking about poor, doomed Young Griff and how it’s not even important if he is or isn’t Rhaegar’s real son. Because what makes him a fake goes beyond blood - it’s really down to intent and experience. He’s a poor rich man’s Aegon V, but like without the organic hero’s journey.

He’s a lab experiment pretty much. However well intentioned he is, there isn’t much indication that his journey has been authentic. Varys and Illyrio are trying to recreate Aegon V with a fake...literally down to the “let’s hide his hair” scheme. They even gave the boy Aegon’s freaking name (it’s a king’s name after all so I can’t blame them). But they missed like the biggest, most important lesson of all. Aegon V CHOSE to go out. HE made himself, no one else did. His journey was organic as it was derived out of his own autonomous decisions, not manufactured down to the smallest detail (does YG really know what it means to starve and be homeless and hunted?). And there was no promise of a reward (I.e., kingship). Egg didn’t know that he’d be king and even after his dad rose to the throne, there were a ton of people ahead of him. FFS he’s called Aegon the Unlikely. Bro just woke up one day and was like “ay wouldn’t it be nice to actually experience this realm from the perspective of a disenfranchised person?”

Meanwhile, our poor Young Griff is being made to go through all this with the expectation that it’s all going to pay off when he becomes king. BUT (big but!), who’s to say that he actually gets it? Like does he really get why he needs to see how this horrible feudalistic society preys on the smallfolk and makes corpses out of them? Wait, does he even know or recognize that the system needs changing? Like did Varys and Illyrio just tell him “people poor” and leave it at that? Why are they poor Young Griff? How did they get there?! Do Varys and Illyrio even get it? Do they understand that Aegon V was a radical change maker?

How hollow is it that it’s not Young Griff making the conscious decision to actually try and see how his subjects live. He’s not making the conscious decision to be a change maker, no matter what Varys and Illyrio say. People in this fandom will talk about how Young Griff will be the perfect king but…perfect for whom? In what way? In a series that critiques this entire system, what about YG screams that he’s going to actually tackle some of the systemic issues that need tackling - the systemic issues that Aegon V tried to tackle after organically going through his own journey?

WELLLLL….isn’t it cool that Jon and Dany are the true heirs to Aegon V’s legacy not because of blood, but because they actually get to the heart of Aegon V’s journey? Say what you want about them but they are radical as it gets (Jon at the Wall and Dany all over Slaver’s Bay). No one manufactured them. No one told them they had to care about people. No one told them they had to do this lab experiment to become king/queen. They actually did their own thing, while themselves being disenfranchised (GRRM identifies both as outsiders). And without the expectation of a reward (like Jon is literally told that his entire life will basically amount to nothing).

And it’s even better that they were unlikely. Young Griff is meant to happen - well someone is pulling the strings to make sure he works. He’s taking the role of someone who was always meant to be king - for Rhaegar’s son was meant to be king. But Jon and Dany are actually following the Aegon V blueprint because they weren’t meant to happen. Jon is a second son who is presumably a bastard with a contentious claim, and Dany is a daughter who was never meant to survive being sold off to slavery let alone rise to queenship. Neither one of them was meant to be on the throne. No one told them to do the things they did. No one took them and placed them in the positions they’re in. They rose to the occasion by themselves and made changes by their own volition - just as it was with Aegon V. And what makes it even better is that just as Aegon V was chosen to be king, so were Jon and Dany (Jon was literally elected into office and basically won over the wildlings while Dany was dubbed “mhysa” because of her actions in Slaver’s Bay).

#asoiaf #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #young griff #aegon v targaryen #varys #illyrio mopatis #valyrianscrolls #my stuff #like they took an imposter and were like let’s recreate this cool king from decades ago #wasn’t it nice how he cared about people and stuff? #how we actually journeyed among the smallfolk and lived among them and directly experienced what it means to be disenfranchised? #yeahhhh let’s do that…..but we won’t do it organically #meanwhile prince in hiding jon snow doesn’t even know he’s a prince in hiding #he gains power and is just like yeah isn’t it cool to be nice to people and give them basic human decency?! let’s do that from now on #and he has zero expectation for a reward - like he KNOWS that the only reward he’ll get is at best being forgotten at worse infamy and death #dany literally sees people being slaves and is like that sucks ☹️ lemme do something about it #and she DID #she freaking did #like I’ve always felt that we’re not going to get on page confirmation that Aegon is a fake #because it’s not about that #it’s about a boy whose been forced to wear boots that don’t fit #so he’s tap dancin and tap dancin until he can’t anymore and dies #Dany doesn’t need to be YG’s undoing #YG all be his own undoing and that’s more interesting from a character level #the lesson isn’t ohh he’s not the hero because he doesn’t have the right blood #y’all I could go on and on like!!!

No like because hehehehehehe

I loveeee this so much like, Bad is ultimately the biggest softy on the island.

He's much ancient than he lets on and many have mentioned about how much that experience with time sort of fudges with your perception and your willingness to connect with other people because what's the point when by the time you've blinked they're just gone?

Because for someone that cares so much, that cares so deeply, losing people over and over again hurts. It's best to be careful with what you give others, who you make connections with, how much you can admit to yourself you care.

And someway, for some reason, he ended up saddled with a kid that knew only survival and blood and violence, and took him in and taught him as much as he could. Watched over him when he was able, before time separated them.

And again, with the Eggs, with his friends on the island, he's attached once more. Everything he's ever done is for them. That was his grounding point. He nearly lost himself but found his footing again.

And now he sees Cellbit spiralling, following that path, echoing the same self-destruction. And Bad knows his heart. Bad knows that the child he met in those games and the man he met on the island after all these years had grown and healed so much. That even if he wasn't able to keep an eye of him afterwards, somehow he turned out alright despite everything.

But now those old wounds have reopened, and Cellbit is bleeding and he'll let himself keep bleeding if that's what it takes to win his crusade. Even if he'll end up being the empty shell of a man at the end of it, drowning in a pool of blood.

And Bad refuses that.

I am so excited what he plans next.

#qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp #mcyt #qsmp cellbit #acuteliveblogs #rewarding the eggpire arc was so nostalgic #i had forgotten how much of a good storyteller bad is #and i forgot he knows the best balance for a stort #I'm really excited to see what he has planned #did you see how much cellbit felt swayed to bads side? #maybe not completely because hes in too deep #but bad is so good great at the rp man

Your influence in this world doesn't need to be all-encompassing and World Changing. It can be small ripples. It can be gentle and easily missed.

Let yourself do small things. So often, people have this idea that to do "good things," it must be a grand gesture that changes every little thing. Honestly, that can be so intimidating and scary. We weren't meant to carry the world by ourselves. We each contribute, often in small ways, often in ways that aren't seen by everybody. But the people you affect might just take that kindness you gave them and let it light them home. Let yourself be that in whatever way you want. You don't need to carry the world alone.

#positivity #encouragment #encouraging words #ngl i gave a customer a lot of food for free because i could tell they were down on their luck and they deserve to eat #and i hope i contributed to them realizing this world will cherish them and they aren't forgotten #because it's scary not knowing if you can eat or drink or if you will be safe enough to sleep and while i don't know their story... #...does it matter if i do? i will do whatever i can to make sure the people around me are well-fed and taken care of #i think small things like this are honestly what make this life worth living #i don't think i would want to be here if it were not for moments like these #it's never not worth it to do what you can/are comfortable doing #and i hope it can come back around to reward you tenfold <3 #i used to labour under the idea that Changing the World is the only way you can 'be good' #and that made me scared to do small things like this. and i partially regret that. but i don't blame myself or anybody else who feel... #...the way i did. doing 'good things' can be scary and intimidating and it's okay to be uncertain or fearful. it's okay; i promise <3 #i just wanted to remind somebody that you don't have to change the world in one fell swoop. it's okay to Just Be #i love you (platonically) if you have read this far. i hope you do something kind for yourself #you - too - deserve good things. you deserve kindness and satisfaction and wonder

Day 465 - Guess what I spent the day doing. Guess what I'm not done with.

Kind of regret having used "imperialism" so much in my criticisms of Tears of the Kingdom. Not because I think it's not the correct term, but because I think "the game has conservative values" is easier to understand and harder to deflect as "??? but ganondorf is the one doing the imperialism" because.

Yes.

Of course he would.

#thoughts #totk #totk critical #ganondorf #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #it's obviously much more than this #it's the emphasis on marriage and gender conformity #(I had forgotten about Sidon and Yona Somehow but like....) #(this is Obviously a conservative subplot like it's obviously about embracing your assigned path and being rewarded with legitimacy) #(I loved a lot about the Mattison sidequest but same thing here: we are reassured that when that 6 year old is older) #(she'll do the same thing as mommy and return to Hyrule and Marry and Procreate) #(your gender being endlessly scrutinized in gerudo town... the removal of the vai outfit...) #(which is uhh probably not about fixing cultural appropriation you guysss......) #(the fact that no important cutscene female character is portrayed as a fighter beyond riju and buliara...) #(and obviously everything else already mentioned)

genuinely grieving over the forgotten desert

#i get an AJ membership like once a year basically just to play for that long and let it run out #until i want to play again next #and like. i remember last time i did a run like that i was havign so much fun playing the forgotten desert a lot #it was so fun i didnt even only play for the rewards even tho that was totally a reason #i just liked the game a lot #and of course ive been playing animal jam for years and years #since like 2014 #its just so sad seeing the game slowly die #pandas.txt

ASDFGHJL I-

"Exploration", Steam says. "Atmospheric", Steam says, "Adventure", Steam says-

LISTEN. I walk into this place, there's terrified golden STATUES everywhere, I walk up to one because I want to get a closer look at its hair texture. It's facing upwards.

I blink.

It's fucking STARING INTO MY SOUL.

THIS IS NOT THE FUN EXPLORATION GAME I WAS EXPECTING THIS IS A FUCKING HORROR GAME.

another highlight of the deh nhie experience is multiple instances of will and kristolyn launching into thee bit of some inside joke

#just noticed one even as yet another [a new moment to me] and like at least the third one so far #truly my strategy is to devote focus to what either/both of them are up to at any given point & yet never have i ever caught everything #b/c there's a lot going on and just b/c i'm deliberately focusing on smthing doesn't mean that unfolds as actually missing nothing #the Rewards for the connoisseurs of bits & performances & jokes & goofarounds. theatricalityheads live on broadway.com #also that even when there's the big moments you notice every time i forget them / exactly when they happened lmao #which makes it funnier....how often i've forgotten the [mike faist wandering in mid q&a] moment in the backstage vlog #and it being the final round and at least half the party indicating they misunderstand key elements of the whole game lmao....

Hi!

Some weeks ago i shared a Junpei plushie on twt and ig, and decided to open preorders for it and some other stuff i had also planned (including the yosuke charm) + older stuff (the umineko keychains).

I put the link on my bio in case someone is interested.

Preorders close on August 25th!

The plushie is expected to be shipped between the end of October and December 2022.

#zero escape #999: nine hours nine persons nine doors #junpei 999 #virtue���s last reward #luna vlr #junepei #yttd #joesara #umineko #blue_bird_luna merch #i hope i covered the basic but anything just ask #there is also info in the link #yosuke hanamura #ryomina #i had forgotten these

The fact Lili can wear what looks like Leo's hair and Asuka can also wear the same hair as seen on ghosts in the demo- makes me think they might get the comics trio together again in canon

Which in turn could link Asuka and Lili to Leo who's Dad found the cave paintings of Azazel & Devils (also the highlighted option here says Asuka Kazama Short, so Lili can also swap Asuka's hair and I assume vice versa)

Source (at 14:20)

Edit for making my words a bit clearer:

#they were friends in the non canon comics ppl have forgotten that so. maybe. since swaps between characters is relationship dependant #tekken #it also looks like Lili can wear Lee's hair which if true they could bring back that she was on his non canon Violet Systems Girls team #or just use that non canon relationship as a call back to give them legit connections now #i like this they're drawing from everything a character has been in so if you've paid attention its rewarding #two faggots and their pet enbie

Ey, so there’s gonna be some slight changes to my activity here until I feel like taking another month long break again. Tomorrow I officially open my commissions again, that means I won’t be online like I’am currently to RP except for Fri-Sun on my days off and that’s if I feel like it. I.E I might wanna dedicate a day to personal art, videogames, or other hobbies. I will still be answering things during my work days but mostly in the early morning hours for me and later in the evening after work. So please be patient with me, I gotta pay the bills after all. And sorry for the seamless plug, if you are interested in hiring me my links are below.

I could use some advice for how to not fail horribly in Forgotten Hall. Do I have to have the bestest artifacts in the world? Do I need to fully level up all the Traces and Lightcones to even make it work? My Crit stats aren't the best tbh but I feel like it should be possible without them.

This is my progress

these are the Lightcones I have

and these are the characters I DONT have

I'd say Argenti is my strongest character atm, at least his Ult is doing the best numbers out of everyone else, and while I'm not 100% happy with my Sampo build I use him all the time and he's pretty reliable too.

I'm shit at building characters and often lack the resources to lvl anything up so I'm aware that I'm the problem :')) I'm just kinda hoping maybe there's a good trick. There's a lot of support characters I haven't built or leveled up a lot so that's probably what I should do. I'm just kinda hoping for some good recommendations and personal experiences what helped you the most for Forgotten Hall. It's just so impossible for me to do.

(also on Echo of War, even though my team is lvl 80 and I select the lvl 75 boss option, the game tells me my team is too underpowered? And I don't understand why? Is it because of the Lightcones maybe?)
