#im a chaotic neutral

[guckies]

qPhilza experts would you consider qPhil to be a true neutral since his main priorities is keeping his people safe?? Or do you think he switches around or belongs somewhere else?

#i dont usually characterise characters on alignments but i think it’s interesting for phil bc painfully im so aware of his personal bias #which makes his actions feel so true neutral when they can be chaotic or evil or lawful yk the whole jist #i only casual watch him when im free so im asking the experts in the field #qsmp #qsmp philza

Just to clarify, I am obviously talking about the characters and the QSMP as a story. I am simply an avid viewer that had too much coffee and time on their hands so I basically wrote an essay. What is it about? I have no idea. So, read it if you want, but beware that nothing at the end of this should make sense.

In my opinion, morally ambigious characters are interesting, but UNPREDICTABLE morally ambigious characters are even more fun to analyze because they take more risks and play more dangerous games. If a character was labeled as a "hero" and played on the "good" side they are guaranteed a safe spot within the group. Regardless of whether they kill or hurt others, they are on the good side because they are fighting against the corporation that is keeping them and their friends trapped in a place that is a nightmarish paradise. If they had done actions that worked against the islanders' favor, by, for example nearly getting everyone killed by explosives at a party they are justifiably labelled a villian. But what if a character played in the middle? What if they were neutral? What if they simply wanted to let things play out- sticking to the sidelines and only becoming involved when the situation benifits their entertainment?

So, pardon me for the long intro, but here's the gist folks: q!Foolish arrested q!Pac e q!Mike and unknowingly put them through loads of emotional trauma that I don't think they'll be recovering from any time soon, for fun. To a person with a normal moral compass, that's obviously fucked up.

"Friends don't send friends to prison."

In q!Foolish's perspective, he REALLY didn't think the consequences of his actions through, but he wouldn't have arrested q!Pac e q!Mike for no reason. Mr. Mustard is missing and the Federation told q!Foolish that q!Pac e q!Mike were responsible for his disappearance. At this point, I think enough time has passed that we the audience know q!Foolish is being manipulated by the Federation. Even Foolish himself knows he's being manipulated by them, yet he still partakes in this precarious game because it's simply more entertaining than just sitting on the good side and letting things play out.

Q!Foolish has never actively gone out of his way to hurt people on purpose. Does he lack some emotional maturity and the appropriate response to some situations? Yes he does; but he doesn't have malicious intentions. He's there to have fun. Where others see a dire situation- at the mercy of the inescapable claws of a malevolent corporate entity, q!Foolish sees fun and exciting opportunities. The others might not want to admit it, but aside from the tragedies and kidnappings that have occured on the island, this nightmarish paradise has provided the characters with more excitement and enjoyment, than what is worth.

But, not everyone understands q!Foolish's perspective, and that's good! That's ok! But what I'm perplexed about is their constant unjust treatment of him- the exclusion, threats, torture, many many pointless accusations disguised as interrogations, etc- simply because he did one task for the Federation. One task that affected the lives of two people, but in the end both parties communicated and forgave each other anyways. One task that required q!Foolish, and by extension, q!Jaiden to harmlessly investigate around q!Pac and q!Mike's base for a considerably long time before finding nothing that would incriminate the duo. Throughout q!Foolish's endeavour, working with the Federation cost him most of his friends' trust and gave him no benifits, but he still reluctantly chooses to carry out another task because it's entertaining. But like q!Foolish said to q!Cellbit the other day, he may be stupid, but he's certainly not an idiot, and he has limits. A lot of people, specifically q!Max don't seem to understand the concept of a neutral party. If you work for the Federation, you are a villain- and honestly, that's a fair assumption considering their reputation. But what about people like q!Jaiden? Q!Jaiden, one of the kindest people on the island, who is compassionate to everyone, even Cucurucho, who is always perceived as a malicious entity?

What exactly defines a villain in this story? In my opinion, everyone on the island has a skewed sense of morality. Everyone except Elquackity knew of his first assasination and simply watched as he lost his first life, then celebrated when he lost the other with no regards to the repurcussions of their actions or how Elq felt about all this. And while we can justify their actions because Elq hurt people before, and either brainwashed or replaced q!Quackity, how do we justify their treatment of q!Foolish even after he communicated honestly to q!Pac e q!Mike and done nothing to deserve their maltreatment of him. Maybe I'm a bit impatient, but at this point, q!Foolish's arrest, has had the same value and impact as q!Bad giving people the survey for the Federation; I'm even more willing to believe that q!Cellbit's accidental "employee of the month" investigations benifitted the Federation more than whatever measly and repititive tasks they're giving out to q!Foolish.

So, what warrants all this hate and injustice towards q!Foolish then if he's not harming anyone? Why is he the punching bag? Why is he the butt if the joke Every Single Time? What warranted all the cruel jokes and malicious beatings after the Nether event? Is it because they know he won't exact revenge upon them? Is it because, in their eyes, they only value him as a court jester and nothing more? Q!Foolish even said the Nether, an obsolete dimension of fire and brimstone, offered more compassion and comfort than a world where the sun shone and the air was less polluted because the inhabitants, his "friends" treated him with more malevolence than literal souless monsters from hell itself.

Think about q!Jaiden- a person whose compassion broke through Cucurucho's souless programming and gave it a home, a sense of safety, and relaxation. Jaiden works (and apparently worked???) with the Federation, yet she has more kindness within her than an entire group of people, on the "good" side, fighting against evil.

The truth is, there is no bad side among the islanders. The admins (meta) wrote the Federation (and codes?) as entities that the collective group should be against- a common enemy. But once you "ally" yourself with the Federation and do tasks for them does that make you the common enemy as well, or do you need to commit more heinious acts to be considered a villain?

And what about the islanders? At what point do the rest of the players begin to consider a character on the wrong side of things? At what point do they begin to abandon compassion in favor of searching for the truth? How far will they go in pursuit of the truth?

In my opinion, there are no villains in the story because everyone is capable of becoming an antagonist in one way or another. Basically, EVERYONE is morally ambiqious because they have all been antagonists to each other at some point in the tale, and as the story keeps unfolding, who knows what could happen? A character might say they are a good person, but as the story changes, so do their values, their morals, their limits. How thin can someone's patience be before it inevitably snaps?

say hello to my little tav! need to get some better screengrabs but im really pleased with how they look. Eirian, ranger, criminal, semi recent escapee from the underdark i think - i havent quite build up their backstory yet. im thinking to romance Astarion or Shadowheart but we'll see how the approval turns out.

#bg3 tav #drow #they're lolth sworn but looking back maybe i should have chosen the other one #oh well #im trying to go for a chaotic neutral /good playthrough vibe #but i have a hard time being mean in viddy games #well see #i accidentally let lea'zel be really mean to zorru #whoops #tav #lau posts #the nolo track tag #bg3 #bg3 oc

i know alastor is probably going to very obviously end up doing something fucked up to someone we actually like and fuck someone over because duh but. I desperately want the secretly good guy/antihero but never would show or admit it type with him so bad.

Every time I start any new rpg there's always this moment of realization that the dragon age wiki has me absolutely SPOILED

#literally 0 information for the things i want to knowanywhere #i have to resort to reddit. REDDIT #and even then im not clear #ok so trickster CAN be chaotic good - but are there dialogue options that force you more into chaotic neutral? #I NEED TO KNOW #im trying to pick one in advance and im in-between this and azata #trickster i think fits elluin's vibe Perfectly but the alignment thing is holding me back #azata is dead on the best alignment wise and i like the environment restoration aspect but i don't like the divine aspect AT ALL #not gonna lie half my delisdain is because i saw fairy wings on the art and was like! fey? FEY?? But no its another fuckin divine variant #so yeah i don't know #elluins like. hes more chaotic than he is good #but he's more good than he is not #if that makes sense #im not willing to change his alignment #i mean in any case ill probably test the second option in a different play through but i wanna try and get as spot on a first run as i can #anyway #riv finds the path that sure is wrathfully righteous

[lixbf]

it rly makes me go ??? when ppl say shit abt astarion being evil or how you have to be rly evil to get w him like. no? hes not a wyll-level good person by any means but hes not just evil either. and rly just like w all the other companions all you rly gotta do to get on his good side is yknow support him as a person, accept his boundaries and let him do some kinda maybe not perfectly moral stuff thats important to him like letting him kill gandrel or letting him drink your blood or letting him take that necromancy book

#hes like. chaotic neutral over all id say? idk im not the most experienced w dnd alignments #but to me hes basically just a jaded and traumatized guy who feels betrayed by gods and heroes alike at the beginning of the game #does he approve of some morally questionable choices? yeah but thats always like. 1 approval. you dont have to do that to make him like you #sure playing in a way where you only pick the stuff he approves of might not uh. end well. #bc hes just like 'ooh this would be fun to do rn' and it's like letting marcus take isobel from the last light inn #but doing that w shadowheart or lae'zel or even gale (and in some instances karlach and wyll too) wouldnt end well #lfucking hell wyll wants to murder karlach when you first meet him. lae'zel is fully ready to let shadowheart die or kill her multiple times #in conclusion. if you wanna romance astarion. #you just have to either say youre not gonna help an npc and then still help them. #or help an npc and them expect a reward for it. #and hes gonna be a-okay w everything you do even if you go around just being very heroic 24/7

Fellas, is it gay to love the concept/trope of a supernatural hunger for something morally grey or wrong?

The inner conflict of wanting to get rid of the pain, feeling like you're starving, but knowing that to do so you have to cross every line you swore never to cross. Having to push loved ones away for the sake of their safety when all you want is to hold them. Picking between self destruction and survival, right and wrong, when every action is some shade of grey. Being called a monster when the people who trusted you find out who you are, what you have done, and not protesting in response because they're right, aren't they?

#og leo post #i love vampires and werewolves and supernatural 'addictions' #i love insatiable needs #this is about bg3 and also about tma #i am enjoying gale's story ​if you couldn't tell. #and astarion's. But im bad at being chaotic enough to get him to like me and i keep accidentally saying stuff he disapproves of #this trope is top tier. seriously #bg3 #tma #so he's currently neutral toward tav. #goodnight folks!
