[RHETORIC - Legendary 14]: Convince Kim you are in a timeloop.

(ISAT side of the swap)

#disco elysium #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi #ISAT #in stars and time #If you put HDB in a timeloop I truly think he would spend the his time trying to convince Kim he was in one. #The extra funny bit here is how counter it is to the *main plot of ISAT (*I HAVENT FINSHED. JUST STARTED ACT 4) #In which Siffrin is so strongly against letting anyone know they are trapped in a timeloop. #HDB would be doing everything in his power to try and get people to believe him. #and just like with the amnesia talk - Kim would pull the 'Detective we have a case to solve. Can we get back to work?' card. #How long would HDB last in a timeloop? If we make this loop the week that the case is...maybe a dozen loops? #He has the mystical detective angle on his side so I think he would stumble into the solution eventually. #Now. Odile could figure out someone is in a timeloop. I think It would take a *lot* for Kim to believe. #Anyways. [clicks on my powerpoint presentation that reads “Why Madame Odile could solve the deathnote case”]

So in the Octavinelle manga, Yuu is named after the Sanzu river. Now this makes me wonder what afterlife associated name will the next manga Yuu have

I’m not a fan of it, but this could technically support the “Yuu is dead in their original world” theory (especially considering that this is a pattern continued from Yuuken and Yuuka, the previous two manga!Yuus). (Because why do all of their names have connections to the afterlife??? 😭)

Yuuken’s surname, Enma, could be a reference to Yama, who is the master of hell in both Hinduism and Buddhism. Meanwhile, Yuuka’s surname, Hirasaka, is the same as that of Yomotsu Hirasaka. In Japanese mythology, this term is used to refer to the boundary between the living world and the underworld. Now we have Yuuta Mito, whose name (when written) is 宥太 三途. The 三途 portion is the same as the “Sanzu River” (三途の川), which is basically the River Styx in Japanese Buddhism.

It is also odd that all three manga!Yuus are also in circumstances where they happened to be at a crosswalk or passing in front of a large vehicle before they are whisked away into Twisted Wonderland (though this could just be the usual isekai trope)… and waking up in a coffin… Now that I think about it, I think Crowley also vaguely implied “parting from the former world” and moving “onto the next one” in the prologue, though to be fair, that statement is so vague it could literally mean anything 🤡

I guess two was a coincidence, but three is a suspicious trend and a concerning pattern… (not to mention they also stay in Ramshackle, where spirits unable to move on also reside.)

Well, I guess if Yuu is dead then it resolves them having to go home because there’s literally nothing for them to return to— 💀Easy solution for not leaving Twisted Wonderland tbh/j

my favourite type of ace attorney fic is the kinds where regardless of what is going on in the actual plot edgeworth is frequently plagued by his gay thoughts

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #wrightworth #narumitsu #this man can be in the middle of solving a murder or whatever and still be like ''hm. wright would surely have a field day with this'' #ramblings #im currently reading Kindred by timepatches (which i rly reccomend btw) #and while the wrightworth is kind of a side plot that doesnt get much focus until much later #its still very amusing to see this exact thing happen #edit: wtf why did this get more than 5 notes

Could you keep a yeerk captive and forced to morph human or starve, then morph yeerk and learn everything it knows? Im suprised they didn't use the mind control possibilities of the yeerks morph more, tbh. It seems like a real game changer

I mean, the kids have these nagging little things called ethics. Wherein they don't kidnap, torture, enslave, and meat-puppet people. As Ax puts it in #47: they have to find a way to fight off the yeerks without becoming the yeerks.

#animorphs #yeerks #war crimes #i feel like this goes in the same bucket as 'why don't they just kill david' #because they're human beings??? #with a normal human range of emotions??? #like - animorphs is a war epic not a video game #the point isn't Solving The Plot as efficiently as possible #the point is the human impacts that occur along the way

It just occurred to me...

...that nothing was really stopping Cazador from Ascending aside from his lack of brain cells.

If the chamberlain guy was afraid that he'd become a replacement in the ritual to the point he tried to fake his suicide (and overdid it), it probably was technically possible.

The kidnapped victims weren't connected with their kidnappers through blood - none of the Cazador's spawns bit them. Cazador did. Cazador easily became a replacement for Astarion in the Ascension ritual - which meant there were no specific requirements for the sacrificial lamb aside from the runes on their skin.

So, technically, Cazador didn't need to catch Astarion to continue the ritual. He could have easily Turned any other person into a spawn, carved the runes, and proceeded with his plan. Only one piece of the contract was missing and it was rather easy to replace.

But he just had to be a little bitch about it. He just couldn't let it go even for a moment. He had to show who's The Boss. He had to Make a Point.

He spent tendays, months coping and seething over his bruised ego, refusing to proceed with the Ritual before Astarion came back -- and in his self-obsessed mind Astarion had no choice to come back because the opposite would be an insult to his Vampire Lord status.

The Ascension was literally at his fingertips. He could have Ascended, walked out into the sunlight, and used all that newly gained power to find Astarion himself.

But did he do that? Noo.

He chose to stomp off to his bitching corner and make an Astarion-shaped salt mine in his diary.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #shit-hunter the diva #as much as i love dubbing on cazador #it shows that they had to rewrite his involvement in the plot a lot #honestly would have loved solving a problem where cazador already became an ascendant w/o astarion #or something like that

[ID: a three color drawing (black, white, and teal) in the style of Seth’s illustrations from the Lemony Snicket series All The Wrong Questions. Five and Viktor (both about 13) are seated at the counter of a diner, talking. Luther (in his 20s), who is a patron seated next to them, looks concerned about what he is overhearing. Grace stands behind the counted holding a coffee pot and gazing into space. A missing poster for Ben is taped to the counter. In the mirror behind the counter, a reflection Diego and Patch (both 15) are visible in a booth. End ID]

i really should leave time between art posts for them to breathe and accumulate their fair share of notes, but also i need something to do while im waiting for my onions to caramelize.

In this installment: Five and Viktor meet over breakfast to discuss business, Luther is a Concerned Citizen, Diego and Patch also meet over breakfast to discuss business but in the background, and Grace is NOT a robot and this diner is NOT fully automated no sir. Also as usual Ben's face provides some ambiance, thank you Ben.
