Actually. Hold on. Radagon gives Rennala an amber egg. Which uses larval tears to perform rebirth, which come from silver tears, which were attempts by Nokron to forge a lord that would bring about their age of the stars, and among these silver tears are mimic tears which take the form of the player, and the black knife assassins on top of being said to have a connection to Marika are also said to be connected to the eternal city by Rogier, and Radagon is some sort of offshoot of Marika (presumably they didn't always inhabit the same body; Marika speaks to Radagon at some point saying he's actually failed to become Marika, failed to become a god, much like the silver tears are mostly all failures at being anything but piles of goo but that one did turn into a troll) and there's comments about Radagon trying to make himself whole, and the larval tears are referred to as both substance and living organism, and…idk that's it.

#hard to say if the amber egg was *for* rebirthing or if that's just what Rennala uses it for #wiki says silver tears are reborn again and again into imitation but I'm not sure where that quote is from #perhaps a guide book? #me vs elden ring #the amber egg clearly *isn't* the great rune though; the great rune was just in it #a great rune that allows perfecting rebirth... #one that must not have ever actually *been* a part of the Elden Ring if Radagon left it behind; but presumably one either created by him #or. Idk. It was for a child that never was #I mean Fia will apparently gestate a child that *is* a rune (?) #and it does seem as if the great runes were actually born alongside their corresponding demigod #idk the function of the great runes really drops off later in the game. They don't reveal as much as I thought they would #but the wording on Malenia's - that her rune *should* have been the holiest - implies the rune was made for/alongside her #or something #PEPE SYLVIA

Now, that look like something my old auntie taught us how to make when I was a tyke. Some folks call them bird traps. Old auntie told us they were devil nets. You put them around the bed, catch the devil before he get too close... I always just though it was something for children to do. Keep them busy. Tell them stories why they're tying sticks together.

more rambling about a s5 au: lindsey comes back for a redemption arc to act as legal counsel for angel's team. this ostensibly gives gunn a reason to opt out of the lawyer operation, but he does it anyway because he doesn't trust lindsey not to fuck them over.

lindsey acts as a moral foil to gunn, who comes to believe his necessary contribution to the team (since he's no longer their only lawyer) is being the defender of the group's principles while working at w&h. they frequently butt heads while working on a case, but eventually develop a begrudging respect of each other's respective strengths.

this hostile-to-friendly-rivalry arc is tested when it comes out that w&h was responsible for some demon problem that's been plaguing gunn's home community. gunn has, unbeknownst to himself, been somehow contributing to it while working at w&h; lindsey knowingly contributed to it when he was last working there as a lawyer. lindsey is forced to confront who he was, while gunn is forced to confront who he’s becoming.

since he was involved in the project, lindsey uses his insider knowledge to help come up with a plan to fix the problem. they execute it, something goes wrong, and lindsey risks his life to ensure the plan goes off successfully. he expects congratulations and a pat on the back from gunn, but gunn isn't interested in absolving lindsey's sins (or his own), and their warming relationship freezes over.

at some point, gunn lets himself get taken by the senior partners in an effort to deal with his guilt over various lapses in judgment/perceived moral failures. during their rescue mission to the holding dimension, lindsey stays behind in gunn's place so he can escape, assuring gunn that he's the lawyer the team needs right now. their mutual arcs culminate in lindsey rejecting the idea that redemption is done for recognition, and gunn rejecting the idea that guilt/self-punishment is inherently redemptive.

eventually after being busted out by illyria, lindsey is there to empathize with gunn about losing parts of yourself (body, mind, and/or soul) to w&h, relationships to power when you've grown up without it, and what it means to live with the consequences of your actions. both of them reflect on the nature of redemption/forgiveness/intent as they grapple with how to own up to an appropriate share of the blame.

#imagine i'm explaining this to you like the charlie day pepe sylvia scene #now let's talk about two characters who have barely interacted can we talk about two characters who have barely interacted #angel the series #ats #charles gunn #lindsey mcdonald #i think it's about two people who have grown up with a front row seat to how people with power will use it to step on others #the difference being that gunn thinks 'i need to be strong so i don't let people in power fuck over me or my own' #while lindsey thinks 'i need to BE those people in power' #also lindsey's appearance is a big PITA to gunn because he's a reminder that to anyone looking from the outside #gunn now looks a lot like the same evil guys in suits that he once fought against #which also reflects some of the themes in s5 more broadly! can they do good while working within evil inc or will they be corrupted etc #plus there's a lot of parallels to what's going on with spike and angel #art

Disco Elysium Jean-Francois Lyotard: Libidinal Economy Mark Fisher: Postcapitalist Desire

I found it really interesting how the Return/revolution is called Girl Child Revolution, and wondered if there was a reason for it being gendered like that. After reading some chapters from Libidinal Economy I thought there were some parallels here. I'm not sure if this is really in the text, this is more of a web-weaving post.

#disco elysium #web weaving #the deserter #i just thought it was interesting that its a female character who is talking about revolution and some male communist characters #(including the students) are more about theory than praxis #well maybe except harry. theres also an unborn child with dora but she represents moralism rather than revolution #you could write a whole dissertation of gender and sexism in elysium lol #so. yeah. *finishes this pepe sylvia monolouge* #i should have a tag for these kind of posts #de web weaving

Leon Pokemon Analysis

These are probably things that have been said already/a post that's been done before, but that's never stopped me from both thinking about it nor posting it online. Certainly not the way it's been floating around in my head recently. Regardless, I've been thinking quite a bit about the Pokemon Leon uses, why, and what it says about him. Namely that his staple team is:

· Aegislash

· Dragapult

· Haxorus

· Charizard

All of which I feel like say something unique about his character, preferences, and add to the symbolism of his character as a whole. Leon himself is cloaked in knight imagery (as well as Prince locked in a tower energy, but for this especially I'm going knight), and I think it's telling one of his Pokemon is a literal sword and shield, and two are Dragon Types, while Charizard is always seen as a dragon. This image of a knight with a team of dragons (when he should be slaying them, and is narratively set up to do so and fails) is one of the more interesting subersions of Leon's character in my opinion. Dragon tamer vs dragon slayer, I guess.

And also, two of his main Pokemon are Ghost Types. To me, I always think of Ghost Types and Ghost trainers holding onto this enternal youth in a way, because they are stuck in time (as a generalization of those trainers, since there are outliers of notoriety). For Leon, as it's often talked about, he was sort of forced to be stuck in time as Champion, both growing up and also made too retain his youthful visage to be marketable and appealing on a larger scale (in my opinion anyway). Aegislash and Dragapult are also two of the three he takes into the Galarian Stars tournament, and that's post game, post Eternatus, and I think too it sort of leans into that feeling that he's haunted by the events of the Darkest Day and his own loss there. Though, I have a lot of thoughts on Leon and his Ghost Type affinity that I'll save from derailing this post

Charizard is always the one that gets me, because I really do think it embodies the vision of "small kid becoming a big hero," both within Pokemon and in the real world. Charizard just is that Pokemon. Leon is that kid picking a starter and becoming Champion, and what better Pokemon to represent that? But I think having it be this stereotypically overhyped and overused Pokemon works well for him, how Leon is built up in the story to be undefeated/unbeatable, and there's Charizard right there. In a way, to a player outside of the in game universe, it's a true motivator to come and get him. Inside the game's story, I just think Charizard is this Pokemon that looks bigger and badder than he actually is, and that's how Leon is too. They're both just bigger and more grown up versions of their smaller selves, where are changed, more mature, but still carry remnants of who they once were.

This is likely more a rambling post than anything, but I really do have Leon on the brain and enjoy posting about him akfjsksksl. So I offer the analysis of his team that's been floating around in my brain

another recovered piece of media and I also fixed it up. The first two images were from my ipad when I was going through the routes and taking notes. Last image is cleaned up

context garble:

I first thought of Cedar being the ghostly sickened apparition before I decided "mmm actually what if it was juicier if it was the apprentice before resurrection" and so Jin appearing in Julian's hallucination bit became real.

Also I thought it would be a cool point of Jin appearing in these kinds of hallucinations and flashbacks would be more clues to who Cedar was before they became Cedar.

And since in this scene it would be in Julian's warped fears, it would make more sense that Jin would appear instead of Cedar. (because Julian and Jin worked together and it's from his perspective/brain) And before I decided to cut Jin's hair shorter I did originally keep Jin's and Cedar's hair the same length.

Another extra stuff:

I wanted Jin to be the one to lead the crematorium project, it just happened that way because Jin wanted to stop being distracted at the palace and really try hard to help people in Vesuvia. But they slowly got consumed by what they were doing and the plauge, haha double meaning.

At the crematorium project I wanted Jin to be the one, or one of the few, to keep writing down victims names and details. Probably in hopes to give them dignity and maybe be able to contact living relatives of the death, or if the relatives are out of the country, then they can find their loved ones later. They kept doing it until they were too weak to keep it up. And they were sending off those lists to Julian at the palace.

Julian was also too busy in his own deal and slowly forgot about the papers and to check in. So the reports stopped and it was days or weeks before Julian learned that Jin was dead. Thus "I died from your neglect" while that's not really true because Jin also tried to hide their symptoms as much as they could.

Where did you hear about Rachel and her yesmen spying on the community?

Well for starters, there are the lads over in Broseidon's Palace of Fishposting who confirmed it as people who were there that RS joined the group and attempted to micromanage the admins, telling them what they were and weren't allowed to post and essentially trying to wrangle control away from these fan groups.

People on reddit clarifying it (including a Broseidon's Palace member who was there):

Rachel also stated in an old interview, "I don't know, I feel some people are like you need to not make them so saturated and I'm like no! More saturated, no one can stop me. So that's them." Which gives off very "take that, hater!" energy. And it feels like it's just been getting worse in recent weeks as new critic communities and accounts have been opening up (particularly /r/UnpopularLoreOlympus). Many things that are discussed in the crit communities end up being addressed randomly in the comic and often very preachy-like (Persephone talking about the "hegemony" of virginity, Eros and Daphne suddenly acting considerate towards Persephone's feelings after literally prying into the sex life of an SA victim the week before, Hades saying shit like "the pace of our intimacy should be up to us" after people criticizing how Rachel was making a huge fanfare out of Persephone finally getting laid, etc.) or otherwise seem like Rachel is 'doubling down' on things she knows are being said about LO.

Again, these all come across as paranoid assumptions, I'm sure, but considering her pre-existing history of lurking in and being booted from fan communities, it's hard not to feel like Rachel isn't doing this still to this day and responding to the criticism as if these groups are in any way attempting to speak directly at her (which they aren't, they're discussion groups made for the readers).

There are a lot of other examples too but I feel like I wouldn't be able to go over all of them without looking even more paranoid than I likely already do LMAO

The most recent example was the other day, both the UnpopularLO subreddit and Discord made staff posts reminding people of the rules - that discussing Rachel's personal life isn't allowed as it's not the purpose of these groups (after people had been discussing what Rachel's relationship with her mother is like due to how she writes Demeter, also the fact that Hermes is apparently based on her partner but Rachel's own self-insert continues to pursue the rich CEO billionaire anyways and now Hermes is nowhere to be seen, etc.) - and that very same day she came out with this:

Aaaaand this is half of why I'm pulling away from LO. Not just because of its very problematic creator (with or without the stalking) but because it's also turning me into a crazy person LMAOO

(I promise, it's just the ADHD/autism hyperfixation in me, it's not keeping me awake at night or anything, but I still also need to like, step away from this bullshit because I shouldn't even have to be this paranoid over Rachel peeking on us, because best case she isn't and we're just being chronically online, and worst case she is and she continues to ruin her own day and her comic with all of her constant backpedaling and retconning and doubling down lmao)

"Now some of you might want to know whether demons still exist in the Elysium world in some way or form, I’m going to leave it hanging)." (x) okay well what is this then

Joyce Messier - "*A Deuill*," she pronounces: "*Who being of great Charme and Guille, sneaketh into the homes of the Godlie*." Conceptualization - That dialect is Ubi Sunt?. You recognize the quote from somewhere. A play, written way back in the Franconigerian century... Electrochemistry - Beneath her waterproof raincoat and silk shirt is a body imbibed in Numb 12 perfume. You are suddenly and intimately aware of it. You - "*And perswades them to addict themselues to his seruice...*" Joyce Messier - "Ah, you know more than you let on..." She gives you a coy little smile. "Philosopher-Detective of Precinct 41." You - (Nod.) "Devil Woman."

Harry is quoting from Daemonologie by King James VI (x)

Daemonologie [..]was first published in 1597[1] by King James VI of Scotland (later also James I of England) as a philosophical dissertation on contemporary necromancy and the historical relationships between the various methods of divination used from ancient black magic. [..] Daemonologie included a study of demonology and the methods demons used to bother troubled men. The book endorses the practice of witch hunting. This book is believed to be one of the main sources used by William Shakespeare in the production of Macbeth. (x)

the funniest thing is that I couldn't find Joyce's quote in Daemonologie. The sentence before Harry's quote is this:

Their mindes being prepared before hand, as I haue alreadie spoken, they easelie agreed vnto that demande of his: And syne settes an other tryist, where they may meete againe. At which time, before he proceede any further with them, he first perswades them to addict themselues to his seruice:

The only place I found that exact quote, was an article about Tony Blair, (published in 2014) (x), where he is described as some ancient evil demon. (it's pretty funny)

I think it's interesting how "Devil Woman" is mostly mentioned when there is something that reminds Harry of his ex

Joyce's perfume, which is "Sweet like the scent of chewing gum on some letter, long ago..."

Klaasje (blond young woman in disco era clothes, has birthmarks on her face - Dora had freckles)

Man from Hjelmdall and the Devil Woman book

another smell that is related to Dora is cinnamon

Apricot Chewing Gum Wrapper - There it is again -- the scent of apricots, with a touch of cinnamon. Smells like the end of some distant summer. The surface of another planet, or some ancient temple.

From Sacred and Terrible Air:

(..)was whispered into Fakkengaff’s ear by the very soul of debauchery. She had the white wings of an angel, but the breath against the disc jockey’s ear had been hot with passion, smelling of cinnamon and primal evil.

^ again with the evil thing (and aren't demons fallen angels?)

Daemonologie was written to endorse witch hunting and through the game there are times where Harry can say some pretty sexist stuff about women (calling them whores and devil women) so it's fitting

so. don't know where I'm going with this but pretty interesting stuff

#correct me if im wrong. is there a source for the first quote anywhere else #de meta #disco elysium #*taking notes* Shakespeare exists in elyium *goes to my pepe sylvia board* strangely fitting tony blair article. demon women? dolores dei? #I have a really hard time reading old english so there isnt much i can say about it
