There was some excellent silliness during Space Engineers including: fun tax, lemon difficult, burger slag, little scream, Portal Stream Reference (I included og audio so it can be heard), goo boys, grinder, jump scare, 22% health, jinx talk, Dr Cool (screenshots included), house meeting, space blokes, Tim sings with mic stand, yass YAASSSS, catch the glass, Dr Cool reprise, jazzed, and Dr Cool: Bayou edition (more screenshots).

“he thinks youll be disgusted but you’re just happy he’s alive” 1) incredible work as usual 2) YOU CANT JUST DROP THAT AND NOT ELABORATE- wifi my heart you don’t understand i need closure—
suffer <3 (just kidding just kidding :> ) referenced ask here!
while everyone else mourns Ajax's apparent death, you work twice as hard to save up money to journey to Liyue, determined to find out what had happened. some called you stubborn, others called you crazy- but the only thing you truly desired was Ajax, and if not him, then closure. if Ajax truly was dead, why hadn't the Fatui sent word the minute it was confirmed? why were there no efforts to recruit a new Eleventh Harbinger? why hadn't his possessions been sent to his family? there had to be some reason behind all of this
and there is, you quickly find out, when an odd man named Zhongli leads you to an Abyssal monster curled in the corner of a room, and when it sees you it's single eye widens as it shrinks into itself, clicking frantically and trying to hide from view. but you simply step closer, murmuring Ajax's name, and the creature hesitantly looks up at you, a low croon exiting its- his mouth. you run over and fling your arms around him, sobbing in relief as you feel his claws slowly wrap around your waist, feel him lean into your touch, feel the presence of your Ajax again. you know it's him, even in his Foul Legacy form, and you swear on Celestia that you'll never be parted again. carefully you lean in and press a kiss to his forehead, just like you always would back in Snezhnaya, and hear a soft, rusty purr filter through the room for the first time ever

on a scale of 1 to 10 — 1 being the least and 10 being the most — how confident are you in surviving an imposter sagau situation?
short answer: i, a non-native in terrain i’ve only ever navigated with 1) a glider 2) no fear of death 3) via a vessel 4) with a map, against various well trained armies, all hellbent on killing me? you’re funny.
now, the long answer…
the long answer, of course, depends on your preferred brand of isekai, as well as the various traits within that. i will… attempt at brevity, but cannot make promises. oh, and there’s no particular order to this list.
1) blood. i myself am more inclined to blue over gold, but that doesn’t matter for this topic. what does matter is if its present and if it manifests immediately.
2) teyvat. is the earth on my side? do the plants and animals know it’s me, or do i need to ‘prove’ it? does it resent me for whatever reason? what’s it’s level of influence (which sounds dumb, but do i have the power of earthquakes and storms or just a few animal helpers?)
3) the imposter situation itself. is there a physical imposter already there,and if so what’s their level of influence? origin? i’d rather go against a wayward traveller than celestia’s puppet. do they have powers? how does teyvat react to them, if at all?
4) speaking of, celestia. are they on my side, the fake’s(if there is one), or staying neutral? what brand of sagau are we even using here? i know i made a post about my version of sagau lore, but one of the key changes since then was celestia. what version of lore are we following?
5) teyvat’s people, emphasis on vision wielders. do they have that subconscious Know? do their visions act up? how do the people overall feel about the one on the throne, if there is one? if there isn’t, is celestia involved in their opinions somehow? what about the traveller, or my vessels?
6) my influence. what can i do? do i have creator abilities, and if so do they take time/some other cue to manifest? is it something i train, or just Click one day? what level? is it an element by element basis, like the traveller, or does that not apply to me? do i have an inventory? if so, can i access the character menus? the map? waypoints? can i move my party, still? do statues of the seven heal me, does food heal me, how do hillichurls and various abyssal beings react to me? ancient gods, such as rhodea (i spelled that wrong) or dvalin or that fucker in the sea outside liyue (yeah i. forgot his name) or azhdaha or yo(u?)kai, if i’m in inazuma? where are we in the in-game lore, by the way?
7) teyvat, again, but this time in terms of biology. i have a few headcanons about teyvat, notably that their gravity is lesser (less fall damage), weather less severe (global warming), and is overall much more temperate/cooler/less humid (global warmingx2 and also just a touch of idealism), so do these apply? this ties into the other points about teyvat, i guess: does the earth let me get cold? can i just shelter in dragonspine?
8) plot armor, for lack of better phrasing. will teyvat let me die? oh, and do i get timeloop’d, or kicked back to my world? do i die, go to my world, then go back to teyvat when i sleep/next log on/whatever? again, tying into other points about teyvat, but will it protect me from death? is my skin like impenetrable or something, or whoops, god is dead, sorry. if i revive in teyvat, is it like that one recent piece i did where the earth moves me? what happens when (if?) i die? does teyvat take revenge?
the long answer… is that it depends.

saw your answer to previous anon talking about how mers usually exhibit signs they're in love or when they want someone and that got me thinking... do you think because the octatrio are, well, merpeople, they would be more inclined towards courting rituals or traditions that are common in mer culture but absent in humans? since stuff like mating dances or colorful displays (iirc correctly, male cephalapods flash different colours and textures across their bodies when trying to attract a mate) are pretty much a staple in the animal world, I feel like there could be something akin to that for mers too. anything that would hint at their non-human-ness makes me crazy
Yes!! Azul has probably researched human courtship and how humans show affection (both platonically and romantically) so that he can better understand human society and all of those curious cues humans give when they’re attracted to someone. Although I like to think that even in human form there are little details about him and the twins that are just so very clearly not human. Like Azul’s horizontal pupils or his blue blood (and blue blush!!!) or the twins and their pharyngeal jaws or (very obviously) their sharp, serrated teeth or even the fact that their blood has ichthyotoxins, which can be harmful if you come into contact with it. >:)
I love the idea of the trio often forgetting about how humans date because they’ve never really navigated love on the surface before. Azul’s so used to hearing the stories of female octo-mers cannibalizing males after copulation and that’s enough to instill plenty of caution when it comes to romantic and sexual attractions. No, Azul, your darling is not going to kill and eat you if the two of you get nasty in bed. As for the twins, you’ll have to explain to them that yawning so frequently (or opening and closing your mouth when you’re speechless) isn’t an invitation to mate. When the trio learn that relationships on the surface are just as complex as in the sea, they’re very intrigued and curious. Won’t you teach them more? They’re all hands-on learners, by the way. :)

I've been thinking a lot about what to name Demonsoul's story and I think I've got a few ideas? I'd love the name to have something to do with glory or being crowned because of story symbolism and stuff!
There's a sentence that I associate with the story, that sentence being "Crowned with glory, crowned with guilt." as it basically describes Demonsoul's journey and development? I'd love for the story's name to somehow relate to that.
One name that I have for now is "Two hearts for glory", but that sounds a bit clunky imo. I also really like some variations of it like "A heart for glory" or "Two for glory"
If you have any ideas for words or even entire names feel free to comment or something, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Overall I'd love something to do with crowns or the idea of glorifying something bad, but I'm also open for names relating to being blind for something, or having knowledge become a burden, as well as overall themes of guilt, regret and death of course
