Mistigram: Our airing of dozens of unreleased and forgotten tracker tunes by Onyx has inspired him to start sharing them on his own YouTube channel, in promotion of his books, starting with "WallWalk" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtupDnIhJ1U , as pictured here. (That one is, incidentally, included in the SE_D0124 music disk, including over 150 of his other songs! You can download the entire collection at https://mistigris.org/newmedia/SE_D0124.ZIP or, if you like, you can peruse a highlights reel via https://mistfunk.bandcamp.com )

well whatever im fucking crazy . back to my darling dear skdp pd au because ohhh baby do i love to say shit !!!

#william could so be the deathbringer btw. if he wanted to #he wouldnt but i think like. mal is the head of the temple abd william defected young then fucking died and got crazy powerful bc he doesnt #need to channel his necromancy.. he hasnt had his surge yet though so he dabbles in elemental shit though mostly fire and air since theyre #the most powerful by FAR. dakota has tge unbreakable skin thing with the strength and all. no surge but his powers were formed by instinct #so he doesnt know how to do other things. absolutely no clue about vyn as per usual but i can keep the alt dimension shit thats a thing #hed be old enough for his surge buttt probably wouldnt have it if hed only gotten to that dimension a couple months before? magic existed #in his homeworld so maybe he tries out elemental stuff before maybe going for powers similar to tanith with wallwalking and something extra #bc i think it would look cool. ok. and i make the rules

TARGARYEN WEEK Day 4: Favourite Historic Event

“'Yield now, Aegon began, "and you may remain as Lord of the Iron Islands. Yield now, and your sons will live to rule after you. I have eight thousand men outside your walls.” “What is outside my walls is of no concern to me,” said Harren. “Those walls are strong and thick.” “But not so high as to keep out dragons. Dragons fly.” “I built in stone,” said Harren. “Stone does not burn.” To which Aegon said, “When the sun sets, your line shall end.” Then Harren the Black retired to his tower, surrounded by his household guard, to sup with his remaining sons. As the last light of the sun faded, Black Harren’s men stared into the gathering darkness, clutching their spears and crossbows. When no dragon appeared, some may have thought that Aegon’s threats had been hollow. But Aegon Targaryen took Balerion up high, through the clouds, up and up until the dragon was no bigger than a fly upon the moon. Only then did he descend, well inside the castle walls. On wings as black as pitch Balerion plunged through the night, and when the great towers of Harrenhal appeared beneath him, the dragon roared his fury and bathed them in black fire, shot through with swirls of red. Stone does not burn, Harren had boasted, but his castle was not made of stone alone. Wood and wool, hemp and straw, bread and salted beef and grain, all took fire. Nor were Harren’s ironmen made of stone. Smoking, screaming, shrouded in flames, they ran across the yards and tumbled from the wallwalks to die upon the ground below. And even stone will crack and melt if a fire is hot enough. The riverlords outside the castle walls said later that the towers of Harrenhal glowed red against the night, like five great candles…and like candles, they began to twist and melt as runnels of molten stone ran down their sides.” — Fire & Blood, Aegon’s Conquest

Theon "Sherlock" Greyjoy...

There had to be two or more, he decided. While the woman was entertaining Drennan, the others freed the wolves. Theon called for a torch and led them up the steps to the wallwalk. He swept the flame low before him, looking for … there. On the inside of the rampart and in the wide crenel between two upthrust merlons. “Blood,” he announced, “clumsily mopped up. At a guess, the woman killed Drennan and lowered the drawbridge. Squint heard the clank of chains, came to have a look, and got this far. They pushed the corpse through the crenel into the moat so he wouldn’t be found by another sentry.”

ACOK, Theon VI

...and Theon Poirot

“A drunk,” Ryswell declared. “Pissing off the wall, I’ll wager. He slipped and fell.” No one disagreed. But Theon Greyjoy found himself wondering why any man would climb the snow-slick steps to the battlements in the black of night just to take a piss.

[...]

Then, before the day was done, a crossbowman sworn to the Flints turned up in the stables with a broken skull. Kicked by a horse, Lord Ramsay declared. A club, more like, Theon decided.

ADWD, A Ghost in Winterfell

Unlike the corpse/head kicking this doesn't feel performative to me, so I'm guessing it's a trait of Theon's to play private eye. He's clever in many ways (and utterly stupid in some), and his curious mind is never, ever repressed no matter what happens to him - is there anything equivalent to detectives or investigators in Westeros?

Hello, I have a question regarding Brienne IV, AFFC:

“He agreed. "Brune's too old to go climbing wallwalks, and his sons and grandsons went off to the wars. No one left in there but wenches, and a snot-nosed babe or three."

It was on her lips to ask her guide which king Lord Brune had espoused, but it made no matter any longer. Brune's sons were gone; some might not be coming back.”

Based off this brief passage, who do you think the Lords of Crackclaw Point likely supported during the War of the Five Kings?

Lothor Brune was knighted for his service during the Blackwater, so probably very tepid support for Joffrey.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

Just one of many examples that showcase Arya’s great critical thinking and deductive skills:

A dozen people got there before her, though none was coming any too close. Arya squirmed between them. Weese was sprawled across the cobbles, his throat a red ruin, eyes gaping sightlessly up at a bank of grey cloud. His ugly spotted dog stood on his chest, lapping at the blood pulsing from his neck, and every so often ripping a mouthful of flesh out of the dead man's face.

Finally someone brought a crossbow and shot the spotted dog dead while she was worrying at one of Weese's ears.

"Damnedest thing," she heard a man say. "He had that bitch dog since she was a pup."

[...]

Arya lifted her gaze from the dead man and his dead dog. Jaqen H'ghar was leaning up against the side of the Wailing Tower. When he saw her looking, he lifted a hand to his face and laid two fingers casually against his cheek. (Arya VIII ACOK)

She had been avoiding the Lorathi since Weese's death. Chiswyck had been easy, anyone could push a man off the wallwalk, but Weese had raised that ugly spotted dog from a pup, and only some dark magic could have turned the animal against him. Yoren found Jaqen in a black cell, the same as Rorge and Biter, she remembered. Jaqen did something horrible and Yoren knew, that's why he kept him in chains. If the Lorathi was a wizard, Rorge and Biter could be demons he called up from some hell, not men at all. (Arya IX ACOK)

At Harrenhal, Arya gives Jaqen Weese’s name, and Arya is stumped and afraid about how Jaqen was able to turn Weese’s dog against him.  She thinks it must be dark magic.  Then two books later we have this passage:

Her part was mostly fetching, scrambling up ladders to find the herbs and leaves the waif required. "Sweetsleep is the gentlest of poisons," the waif told her, as she was grinding some with a mortar and pestle. "A few grains will slow a pounding heart and stop a hand from shaking, and make a man feel calm and strong. A pinch will grant a night of deep and dreamless sleep. Three pinches will produce that sleep that does not end. The taste is very sweet, so it is best used in cakes and pies and honeyed wines. Here, you can smell the sweetness." She let her have a whiff, then sent her up the ladders to find a red glass bottle. "This is a crueler poison, but tasteless and odorless, hence easier to hide. The tears of Lys, men call it. Dissolved in wine or water, it eats at a man's bowels and belly, and kills as a sickness of those parts. Smell." Arya sniffed, and smelled nothing. The waif put the tears to one side and opened a fat stone jar. "This paste is spiced with basilisk blood. It will give cooked flesh a savory smell, but if eaten it produces violent madness, in beasts as well as men. A mouse will attack a lion after a taste of basilisk blood."

Arya chewed her lip. "Would it work on dogs?"

"On any animal with warm blood." The waif slapped her.  (Cat of the Canals AFFC)

Two books later Arya manages to solve this mystery on how Jaqen killed Weese.  Not only does this show her critical thinking and deduction skills, but it really shows how aware she is of the things around her.  She doesn’t ignore unpleasant truths.  She accepts the reality and even when that reality doesn’t make sense to her, she tries to make it make sense with fact and reason instead of ignoring those ugly and confusing things.  One may say that this isn’t remarkable because it took Arya two books to figure it out, but that’s a dumb argument, because it wasn’t up until this moment that she knew of the existence of basilisk blood.  However, once she knew she connected the pieces fairly rapidly.  Actually extraordinarily rapidly considering Arya is 10 at the time of Weese’s death and Arya is 11 in AFFC, so a whole year and some change is in between the death and the discovery.  Arya also wasn’t wrong to assume that dark magic was a part of it, considering the Faceless Men are a magical guild that obviously uses blood magic, something she didn’t yet know about Jaqen when she first suspected it considering Jaqen hadn’t revealed his face changing to her yet at this point.

Arya is incredibly smart.  She also has great critical thinking and deduction and observational skills for a 9-12 year old.  Dismissing Arya’s intelligence and critical thinking skills is a disservice to her character, especially considering there are a lot of examples in the books showcasing these characteristics from her.

Assignment for concept design class was to design a new prop, character, and environment for an existing triple A sci-fi game. I chose Horizon: Zero dawn. 

Character: A new machine, the Wallwalker. A small, fast, agile machine that can cling to metal surfaces, including walls and ceilings.

Environment: The Downed Tallneck. A location high in the mountains with a fallen tallneck, probably some sort of storyline to get it back on its feet.

Prop: A new bow, endgame, and found in a cauldron. Something created by the same AI that made the machines, not salvaged parts like the existing weapons.

VERSION 2.0 STREAM MEGAPOST

They packed a lot of information into only an hour, so I'm warning you now, this is gonna be a mile long beneath the readmore. That said, I've put together all the gameplay-relevant information here for your casual review and convenience.

Story

Various factions from throughout the universe have been invited by The Family (Xipe's followers) to Penacony, the Land of Dreams for the first time to partake in their Charmony Festival. That description, as it turns out, is extremely literal - Penacony itself mostly consists of just a massive hotel, The Reverie, where guests fall asleep and enter a shared collective dreamscape where the "real" Penacony exists.

The first Dreamscape we're visiting as part of the v2.0 story is "the Golden Hour" (the big nighttime cityscape we've seen in so many teasers up to this point). The core idea of the place is "the time just before midnight", and the wish for "today to never end" and for tomorrow to never come.

The story for the Penacony arc, in contrast to the previous storylines we've played through, is described as "chill, carefree, [and] upbeat" where there's no imminent crisis to solve and your primary goal is enjoying your vacation to the fullest.

The Penacony story will be playing out over versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, with an epilogue in v2.3, and was described as "Star Rail's biggest story ever".

Environment

There's a statue of Clockie in the Golden Hour that we can upgrade and change as we progress through Penacony.

Time and gravity are frequently warped in Penacony, and moving in multi-dimensional space is a recurring mechanic. This includes walking on walls, achieved through the "Dreamwalker" mechanic. Dreamwalker utilizes charges to change gravity that can be refilled.

Two specially mentioned settings are Dream's Edge (the outer limits of Penacony and a construction site for the dream) and A Child's Dream (an area where the Dreamwalker ability is used to explore the largest wallwalking room on Penacony).

While exploring Dream's Edge, players will need to complete walkways using perspective puzzles in order to navigate and explore.

Dream jigsaw puzzles are spread all over Penacony, and hide walkways, treasure chests, NPCs, etc.

Characters

Black Swan (Wind/Nihility) is a diviner and Memokeeper for the Garden of Recollection (Fuli's faction) who can turn people's stories and memories into cards. She uses Tarot cards as her main source of attack, though the Tarot system has been simplified for the benefit of players. When she uses her Basic Attack or Skill it inflicts enemies with the "Arcana" card, which acts as a DoT that grows in strength as more stacks are added and the cards upgrade. She's described as working especially well with damage-over-time compositions but being versatile and able to work with other teams as long as you can keep stacking up Arcana.

Sparkle (Quantum/Harmony) is a member of the Masked Fools, and a classic Fool who is always in pursuit of "elation". She mechanics seek to break the rules of the game itself; while she's in the team the party's maximum Skill Points increase beyond 5 (even restoring SP via her Ultimate). She allows the team to deal more when using SP, and her Skill allows her teammates to break the restrictions of turn order by advancing their actions (to a certain degree).

Misha (Ice/Destruction) is a doorman for the Reverie, full of interest for the world outside Penacony but who has to settle for overhearing conversations from guests to satisfy that curiosity. Misha's main weapons are a mop and a luggage trolley, which can cause chaos and get water over enemies. His primary mechanic is that the more SP the team uses, the more motivated Misha gets, resulting in greater damage (including from his Ultimate). This Technique can create a time-stop area that fully pauses any enemies caught in it.

Warps

Black Swan is the main five-star of the first half of v2.0, along with her Light Cone Reforged Remembrance. Misha will be appearing as a four-star in this half of the update.

Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae and his Light Cone Brighter Than the Sun will be rerun during the first half of the update.

Sparkle is the main five-star of the second half of v2.0, along with her Light Cone Earthly Escapade.

Jing Yuan and his Light Cone Before Dawn will be rerun during the second half of the update.

Events

Sparkle and Black Swan have a shared Companion Mission, "Masquerade Duet", where players will get to learn more about their respective stories.

In "Hanu's Prison Break", the Trailblazers are brought into a dreamscape where SoulGlad has been outlawed and they must lead a rebellion and take over a prison. A lot of individual mechanics in this one, including a "human pinball" section, a mirror maze that Clockie has to be guided through, and a segment where you turn into Hanu to break through prison security.

After completing Prison Break, Trailblazer will get to choose one free four-star character (between Guinaifen, Sampo, Asta, and Yukong) as their reward.

The ability to alter people's emotions will be a mechanic that is introduced as a way to interact with NPCs.

The Dreamscape Pass is a feature that will allow players to track and remember their adventures in Penacony vis-a-vis collectible stickers you obtain through the story and missions.

The Dreamchaser Bulletin is a feature designed to quickly acclimate players to the new metropolis by giving them set challenges and battles to solve on a daily basis.

In Dreamjolt TV, a local television station has been hijacked and the Trailblazers have to fight special battles in order to restore the airwaves and regain lost viewers.

In the Penacony Food Fest, you bring raw materials to the Clock Diner so they can create delicious food (and get you rewards).

The Gift of Odyssey event is returning for another free ten pulls, but the Starchaser's Gift check-in event will give another free ten pulls.

Enemies/Bosses

"For certain reasons", Sam of the Stellaron Hunters will be fought during this update. Sam can consume his HP to greatly increase his combat abilities, while also igniting the battlefield in a scorching blaze.

A new enemy, the Lordly Trashcan, can be encountered in each area of Penacony. Their gimmick is that they begin battle with no Weaknesses and take little to no damage, but take on the Weaknesses of any attacks they've been hit by.

As a result of negative emotions surfacing in the dreamscapes of Penacony, enemies can appear on Penacony. These can be divided into distinct factions, namely the Dreamjolt Troupe and the Memory Zone Meme.

The Dreamjolt Troupe are based on the local delicacy of Penacony, SoulGlad, and are warped distributors and transporters of the beverage. The only specific member described was the Sweet Gorilla, which can spray soda over your party.

Mr. Domescreen was originally a television performer, and its primary mechanic is swapping between various faces (switching between supporting your party and attacking them based on which face is active).

The Memory Zone Meme have more abstract forms as they're based on deeper subconscious thought. Mentioned members are the Allseer (based on "vision"/"sight") and the Heartbreaker (indicative of the idea of fragile hearts underneath sturdy bodies).

A specific Memory Zone Meme discussed in detail is the "Something Unto Death", which has a potent ability to instantly kill party members and ensnare their souls within Sombrous Sepulchurs and will remain dead until they are broken. This ability triggers after receiving a number of attacks, indicated by eyes along its body lighting up red.

Relics & Materials

The Pioneer Diver of Dead Water set allows equipped characters to deal more damage to enemies afflicted with debuffs.

The Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations set increases Break Effect for the whole team. This and the Pioneer Diver set will be obtainable in a new Cavern of Corrosion on Penacony.

A new Quantum Ascension material, Dream Flamer. This is the material needed to ascend Sparkle.

A new Ice Ascension material, Dream Fridge. This is the material needed to ascend Misha.

New Trace materials for the Paths of Destruction, Nihility, and Harmony will be introduced. All of the characters introduced in v2.0 will use these materials.

New Light Cones will be added to the Light Cone Manifest Store (the one operated by the Memory of Chaos Memokeeper and Youci). These are in addition to the Light Cones already in the store, not replacing them.

System Improvements

The new Fate's Atlas system will gives players the ability to look at a strict timeline of events in the story and gain a proper understanding of when certain missions happened in relation to each other. This includes main story missions, compansion missions, and plot-critical side missions.

Players will be able to designate 3 support characters instead of just 1. The related Starfaring Companions section is also being bumped up from 3 to 5.

When levelling Relics, you can now allocate materials to reach specific level thresholds automatically.

The Relic Recommendations feature on characters has been improved to give greater understanding for users and make it easier to swap between sets. Relic filtering has also been improved.

Penacony and Version 2.0 release on February 6th.

It was on her lips to ask her guide which king Lord Brune had espoused, but it made no matter any longer. Brune's sons were gone; some might not be coming back.”

Based off this brief passage, who do you think the Lords of Crackclaw Point likely supported during the War of the Five Kings?

Let's go through each of the candidates, shall we?

Joffrey (On the surface highly unlikely given House Lannister's actions towards the end of Robert's Rebellion and the fact Dick Crabb boasts in AFFC "we're all good dragon men, up Crackclaw way" BUT we do need something to explain why throughout the war Tywin is consistently said to have 20K men and him enforcing conscription on Crackclaw Point best fits that bill. Also helps explain why they don't show up to defend King's Landing against Stannis in the lead-up to the Battle of the Blackwater.)

Robb (Unlikely given the fact Crackclaw Point has never been part of the Riverlands and one of Robb's chief vassals, the Mootons of Maidenpool, have been historical enemies of Crackclaw Point.)

Renly (Possible were it not for the fact Renly died early on in the war and never even reached the Crownlands.)

Stannis (More likely than most given his opposition to House Lannister as well as the presence of other Crownlands houses within his army but if that were the case, I think GRRM would have mentioned it by now.)

Balon (Out of the question. Not only are the Ironborn universally despised but they're also on the opposite side of the continent from the Crownlands.)

Thanks for the question, anon

SP characters on Theme park rides

Skulduggery likes the scary rides and hates the boring/slower rides. as in he wont go in the roller coasters that have 8 year olds on it but will go on the 50 metre drop (like i did)

Ghastly is attempting to keep an eye on everyone. Mostly Skulduggery.

Valkyrie loves it. She and Militsa are together alot

Fletcher is left to his own devices.

On the rides and stuff

Mirror maze - Fletcher gets lost. - Valkyrie keeps trying to explore - Skulduggery goes in through the exit.

That tunnel thing where the walls spin and you have to try and walk through (its apparently called the Spinning Tunnel) - Tanith walks through as if its not moving, She's a wallwalker. - Fletcher eventually gives up and teleports. - Skulduggery walks through fine. "I never fall" (no, he fell like 5 times before but shut up)

The Drop - Skulduggery loves it, and is shockingly calm - Fletcher and Valkyrie scream - Militsa barely agrees to go - Ghastly waits at the bottom.

Body rock - Fletcher holds on, he doesn't like it. - Militsa also holds on. - Valkyrie puts her hands in the air

Roller coaster - Skulduggery wears his hat. somehow it doesn't fall of (magic hat) - Fletcher teleports off -Valkyrie and tanith sit at the front

Images of rides under cut, if you want it.

Mirror maze:

The drop (its 50m/over 160ft tall)

(I went 3 times when i went to luna park)

Body rock (this was the only one not a luna park)

#Also i never say theme park #Since i always refer to them by name (eg luna park) #skulduggery pleasant #i can't think of more rides #give me and i might add them #maybe #valkyrie cain #ghastly bespoke #fletcher renn #militsa gnosis

Based off this brief passage, who do you think the Lords of Crackclaw Point likely supported during the War of the Five Kings?

They likely stayed out of the fighting for the most part, or fought on behalf of the Iron Throne given they are part of the Crownlands. That may change when Daenerys arrives.
