placing this from my twitter here because like! i see people say that pik4 is a retcon or that Olimar and Louie's stuff was reconned out, and because i hadn't finished the game i was just say there like "oh, probably there's some inconsistency in the story or a character, that's why people believe it" and as i kept playing i realized that... not really? the bad ending of pik1 happens canonically in pik4, Oli becomes a leafling after not making it.
some things Do change, like him not managing to take off and sending a distress signal and a lot of people coming to PNF-404 for various reasons, mostly out of self interest and also end up stranded, but you could attribute that to it just being part of this timeline. his progression in pik1 is purely dependent on the player and the way they play the game either way!
like this also doesn't mean that pik4 isn't canon, both the good timeline of the previous games AND this one are canon - pik4 is a "what if" scenario

Genshin characters age headcanons masterlist (updated)
Yeah. I could give you many reasons why I believe some of the more debatable/"controversial" ones are very sensible and Good based on just freaking paying attention to context given in the game but for now I'll just compile a basic list.

Heyoo I saw your tags! Thank you for being lovely! Sorry for the ask haha I couldn't message so thought this was the best way to respond haha. Also good to see you back here, it's been ages! How have you been? How's life been treating you, my lovely?
Hi! Haha, no worries, it was a sweet and welcome surprise~
And man, I hadn't realized how much time passed until I checked and saw it's been over a year 💀💀💀 It has been a relief to see a lot of familiar faces though. I spent a lot of time settling into work and preparing for my degree this fall, so I had less time to simp. But things are good! Mostly just been reading Celeste Ng's newest book All Our Missing Hearts and playing Pokemon Violet over the break because I caved after seeing the Tinkaton memes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I now have a shiny one, and she is a menace to all Corviknights everywhere 🤣
Needless to say I've also been doing Comte events throughout the time I was away, so I may be discussing a few of the translations if I have the spoons over the next few months. Honestly he's still full of surprises, the drama CD they released a few weeks ago for him had a lot of fascinating tidbits--perhaps my favorite of which is how desperately he wants MC in a black dress. I do love it when my faves go full baby girl, but I digress; that's gushing for another time, I'm sure 🤣
I hope you've been well, too! I wish you all the best, always 💛💛💛

What MTG Colors are daleks?
obviously in WHO there were constraints based on wanting to find the overall best color for the villains *deck* based on needing to include a variety of different villains and in fitting well in the overall ecosystem with the other three decks. But if they weren't bound by that, what would be the best colors overall for daleks? I can see different arguments for different colors and im curious which you'd pick as the best for them
White definitely feels like a good fit. They're tyrannical conquerors, they're eugenicists bent on forcing their view of how the world should be on others, they're very hierarchical. All of white's worst, most villainous traits can be found in them.
They're either very blue or not blue depending on your philosphy. They're the products of a scientist's pursuit of perfection (from his perspective anyway) and daleks truly believe they have achieved it. Blue is all about the pursuit of greatness and improvement. Can you be blue if after that pursuit you reach a state where there is nothing left for you to pursue? I suppose either way the way they seek the elimination of "inferior" life which is the pursuit of perfection to them, but i still think it's an interesting question.
Black oddly is the one im having the most trouble arguing for. I say oddly because, based solely on vibes, it definitely feels like the most fitting color. Hatred can be black, and it's very very important to daleks, but it can also be white or red depending on various things. Passionate anger is pretty red (and daleks are certainly passionate about it), and the hierarchical hatred of assumed superiority is pretty white. Their means of achieving their goals, mass murder, are also quite black but equality it can be white. There's a reason white and black are the two colors that get "destroy all creatures". Black just doesn't seem to add anything that you don't already get from the other colors. But I guess it highlights really well what aspects you're getting from the other colors and that's why it feels fitting.
Red is also interesting. It's the color of emotion and daleks are known to scorn and suppress all emotion except for hatred, which seems very anti-red. But that highlights that one emotion in particular and makes them come off as really quite emotional, they're very driven by that singular emotional drive.
Finally green. Daleks are very green in a way that's easy to miss. They're very very obsessed with natural superiority and about people being in "their place" in the world. That place being "at the top" for daleks and "dead" for everyone else. They're extreme bioessentialists, which is a very green philosophy. They're just not green in the traditional way.
So what colors should they be (in a vacuum, unbound by set needs)? Not WUBRG, that's for sure. You can make a 5 color argument for most characters but that doesn't mean 5 color is the best way to characterize them because it tells you very little. It comes down to, in broad strokes, what you want to evoke and highlight about them. So what is important? I'd say that they're genocidal fanatics obsessed with eliminating all "inferior" life forms who differ from them in any way. With that in mind, I think I'd go mardu, black-white-red. The genocidal ideation and obsession with hierarchical superiority fit cleanly in white, the all-consuming hatred fits well in red, the passionate fanaticism comes well from the mixture of the two, and black highlights which parts of the color pair you're evoking and the murderous methods of implementation.
