As satisfying as it would be to have Sonic movie 3 stay faithful to SA2 regarding the death of Maria, I genuinely don't see paramount having the guts to write her being killed by government agents. Even by agents from a fictional military like G.U.N.
If they do touch it on anything more solid than just vaguely implying it happened, you just know the SA2 comparisons will be hyped up as much as possible until the last second, then instead you get to watch a "new but still just as cool!" take on the event where actually, a token scapegoat villian was responsible for her death! All the G.U.N. agents will get to stay part of the goofy comedic relief cast to fullfill the studio's "misguided :( but still likable" military propaganda quota.
Or, have Maria survive and play it as an amazing new "fix" to a plot point that doesn't need fixed. (Recent news about the new ATLA series Sokka comes to mind, where an embarassing effort to play it safe causes them to miss the point of his arc. Entirely.) Maria surviving is a fun concept to play with, but also a nuance-deserving change I would absolutely NOT trust in the hands of paramount.
I'm staying excited, but trying to keep my expectations in check. I honestly hope to be proven wrong.

smashes my current interest together with my old interest (aka yet another "what Dungeon Meshi but Gamers?" AU)
Once when I was a child I had a complete crying meltdown over Creatures, because the manual insisted that the complicated AI of the Norns made them truly alive and 10-year-old me was freaked out at the idea of being solely responsible for making sure these real animals wouldn't die. The funny part was that this was the Playstation version of Creatures, which has no biochemistry and very basic AI compared to the PC/Mac games where players actually were debating whether or not it was true artificial life. A PSX manual gave me existential dread and it wasn't even telling the truth.
Anyway, kid!Marcille would also have a meltdown over the Creatures series, especially if she had the computer games and got to see how vastly different some breeds' lifespans are. Like in C2 where you have Norns that live for around 5 hours and Norns that live for 10, both of which are vastly more than Ettins who don't even live for 1.5 hours (and usually less due to radiation or starvation).
Lucky for her, having the computer version means she could download modified genomes made by other players that make creatures live longer or even outright remove certain death triggers. However I think she'd have more fun learning to read and edit the genomes herself, to get a better understanding of how the game works and how to change it to suit her own tastes. And because she could pretend she's one of the mysterious ancient Shee who created the Norns, Grendels, and Ettins and then vanished, leaving behind relics of their old society.
(Speaking of Grendels, she would unfortunately dislike them because they're the Designated Evil Species and she'd hate how they harass and attack her Norns. I think she'd also pity them though, because they get sick a lot and have short lifespans. Likely she'd just end up downloading/creating a genome without the aggression towards Norns. Ettins she'd like except for in C3 when they dismantle her meticulously-placed gadget setups, so she might mod out their hoarding compulsions too. Both of them would of course also live for however long her Norns would live.)
Also. While standard creatures' lifespans are counted in hours, if you modify the half-lives in the genome editor you can increase it to centuries. Or even just over a millennium if you set the half-lives to their max length (assuming you also leave the old age death trigger at its vanilla value).
Tumblr media
and I like to think that elven Creatures players would pass around copies of what they consider a template genome that's appropriate to their own lifespans. Something that would make their creatures live for weeks or months of continuous play. I also like to think the Creatures DS Warp is still active in this AU because of the hilarious frustration when these long-lived Norns travel to worlds run by short-lived players whose Norns have vanilla lifespans, and vice versa.
(Most of the time in Creatures, offspring of parents with different lifespans will just have one or the other, but there's a chance the genes cross over right in the middle of the various age triggers and cause unstable aging rates. Like a Norn that goes through the childhood stages in hours but then has a very extended adulthood. Or a days-long childhood followed by suddenly dropping dead of old age once the vanilla adulthood genes kick in. Or, if the child has one parent's half-life decay rate and the other parent's age triggers, all sorts of odd things could happen. I once had hybrid Norns who lived for 20 hours and would die of organ failure before reaching the old age threshold!)
(Now that I think of it, Marcille would absolutely hate fast-agers. The first time she watches a creature hatch, turn old, and die in just one brief minute of life, she would be sobbing for days. One of the first things she'd learn to mod out would be mutations that cause the Ageing/Life chemical to decrease unusually fast.)
On a lighter note, while I don't know what her favorite designs would be I think she'd love choosing cute breeds to use in her world. Once she figured out how to give her creatures the comfortable life she wants them to have I can see her redirecting all her gene-editing efforts into changing color expressions. She might even learn to sprite or model her own custom designs.
#creatures#creatures games#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon spoilers#(not directly but the Implications are there)#(later tags will be more direct about spoilers)#anyway all the PC Creatures games are on Steam and Docking Station is free#Caveat One: Creatures 2 does not run well on modern systems (though the Steam release is trying to fix that)#Caveat Two: The Creatures series was made during the 'spanking is acceptable' era so uh.#No sugarcoating it: Physical abuse is used as discipline.#(unless it's Creatures Village where they replaced slapping with a water spray)#I made a mod for C3/DS that just uses buttons instead of the hand; it was released for the CCSF 2023 community event but#I should re-release it here too someday. I should also revisit my slap-disabler mod and see if I can make it easy to install.#but that's a task for Future Me and not Present Me#anyway Sissel/Thistle is also a Creatures player but he cares more about micromanaging his population than caring for them#he removes not just their death triggers but also their drive to eat and sleep. they're permanently happy zombies basically#he doesn't make peace with Grendels and Ettins he just puts them in the airlock#he gets involved in the Creatures Abuse discourse and somehow makes everyone mad#however he is also a very prolific modder who has made all sorts of interesting animals and metarooms; ppl in the fandom respect his skills#and he does truly care about his vision of a utopian world for his favorite Norns#idk if any other dunmeshi character would play Creatures. Milsiril might like it?#Kabru wouldn't play but he'd get a kick out of reading the many ethical debates and drama between fans#everyone else I feel might be put off by the game's very slow pace or by the complexities of raising creatures#anyway hey I haven't posted on tumblr for months; I am sorry and this WILL happen again#Eventually i will remember how to Create Things#that is also a task for Future Me

rereading the pjo series with the new athens headcanon in mind its really strange that its not canon like it fits percy and annabeth's characters perfectly and allows people like piper to stay at camp half-blood forever without having to move to new rome. like in canon their only option is to literally move to new rome to survive you think percy's gonna be that far from his mother and baby sister???? a big part of his character in the first book is about how much he loves his mother there is NO WAY he's living away from her forever

sometimes i think about offering up oc ideas based in dorverold for people to snatch up if they so choose but i feel like that'd actually be asking a lot bc there's a lot to read about and the lore is expanding and there's still stuff i haven't talked about bc i need to get it on paper and organize it properly :' )

For the 5 of you who are actually invested in the worldbuilding/fantasy world stuff that I post here from time to time, I’ve finally completed the first of the previously mentioned series of videos where I just go over all of the details of my world in kind of a casual slideshow format - you can see it here (link), if incherested :0c 
#it's unlisted for now until I finish the series and then I'll make them all public so you SHOULD be able to see it with a link#but let me know if there are issues viewing it or the settings are off#ALSO YEAH ALMOST 7 HOURS AAAAgHHGGGGHH#It's all separated into chapters though and organized by topic so should be easy to kind of pick through if  desired#like if you're someone who's seen my worldbuilding posts and is kind of interested but also hates reading the long strings of#text that accompany them/cant sit through a novel about elves.. Now.. you can.. listen to a novel about elves instead lol#assuming you can bear my voice for that long and my constant fidgeting and speech quirks and etc. hghb .. that is possibly#another barrier lol#also please note the use of the term CASUAL slideshow format. I am not reading neatly or presenterly and sometimes#go off on tangents or etc. Kind of like livestream style I guess where it's not a Super Professional Extremely Clean presentation#more just someone talking and kind of trying to go over outlined information for 7hrs while sometimes stopping to pick up a cat#or something ghgh.. There are some audio issues at first too like on and off the first two hours little moments here and there where#the mic echos a bit but I didnt realize there was a problem to fix until the 3rd day of recording :V#it's better after though#ANYWAY ...#evil evil evil terrible project takes SO long#This 7 hours I think was actually like... maybe 15+ hours of footage. It seemed like everytime I edited a video it'd cut nearly#in half (so like an hour long vid would end up being about 30 minutes after editing).#And thats not even the longest one.. the SPECIES slideshow on all the different cultures and groups and stuff?#Legitimately fearing if I put it all in one video (how I want to.. for organization purposes) it will be like 9 hours long#BUT that's all for the future hopefully. right now I'm taking a small break from working on it to do other things lol#I at least got the first video out of the way.. it's a start ... ToT#also obligatory i hATE fireworks so much I am trying to be productive tonight but aaaaAAAA ***#ALSO i reccomend watching on at least 1.25 or 1.50 speed. I seem to sound better that way like I naturally have a weird slow#pausy way of talking I think it seems with pausing a lot. I always rewatch my videos on like 1.50x or 1.75x speed lol

“Do you honestly expect me to believe that?” ~ Nathan
@sxturn-bxrs
Random questions; sentence starters || Accepting
"Why wouldn't you?"
Admittedly, not an exceptionally convincing response. But Neo is ever stubborn, digging their heels in, even though their forearm is dangling from a few threads of wire. An easy fix, with their transformational abilities, but they both know that's not what the mobian is pushing about... It's more the accident that caused it.

"Do you honestly believe I cannot repair myself?" Their rebuttal is asked in a mocking tone. A dismissive wave of their free hand. "Get out. I can handle myself."

today i ran the figures on my beautiful colour-coded spreadsheet so not only do i have a record of how many times i've followed each character but how many times i've followed each performer in their particular roles
i am absolutely mortified and somehow more surprised than i have any right to be to have it confirmed that i have followed paul's aegisthus more than any other character-performer combo

Being me is so annoying sometimes like I accidentally make a mistake related to my relationship (literally nothing bad at all, it’s an easy logistics related thing to fix) and yet because I care so much about my partner my brain sets off all the alarms because it’s so important to me not to mess this up.

90% sure it’s another Hbtw Nano year b/c i’m not interested in or thinking abt anything else right now, fully in 24/7 hbtw brain mode, But i’m also at what i would charitably call the Beginning of a complete overhaul of any’s personal lore and motivations / the entire rhea situation, which means huge changes to the entire first arc (again) which i severely doubt will be anywhere near settled by nov @_@;; also recently started thinking about why the hell godseams as a power system work the way they do in literally any capacity + may have to fix that before I move on anywhere (++ I think it’s the cornerstone of the problem I’ve been kind of circling since last year wrt wanting the deities to be more present on earth than they currently can be, but also if that’s true then iloilo’s plan&the entire ‘correct century’ changes nothing/io has nowhere to go back to, so the simple solution doesn’t work) … never satisfied ever lol I think it’ll just be Hbtw Sea So Deep Arc (But Slightly Different This Time) for nano every year for the rest of my life at the point (-﹏-。)
