Screw it, I need to get this out of my system. A thought about the guy in the Clone X armor on Pabu:
So…okay. I’ve seen people pointing out that there are resemblances between Tech and the mysterious clone x guy we see standing in front of the Archium in the trailer. And, honestly, they’re not really wrong.
There are some very, well, Tech-like shapes to this guy’s outfit (the dotted lines are ones I wasn’t so sure about):
Tumblr media
They’re not an exact match, because some of the line proportions of the similarities I pointed out are different, but the similarities are there. There’s even a similar effect—not shape, but effect—to the lighter green outline around the eyes calling attention to the area as Tech’s goggles had—the difference being that we can’t see this guys eyes behind the glass.
And, yes, this mystery man does have a really similar build. And shoulders. And general proportions. And there’s that freaking shin pouch. They gave him a shin pouch!
And then, of course, the basic silhouette of the Clone X helmet is very similar (not exactly the same, but similar) to Tech’s helmet, minus the visor and the ear cuffs:
Tumblr media
Now, there are major differences as well. The Clone X armor is much more streamlined and less bulky than Tech’s; the pauldrons have similar proportions but a much more rounded shape; the breastplate fits a bit tighter and is also significantly shorter; the overall shape and muzzle of the helmet is very similar, but the Clone X helmet muzzle is about half the length because the covering for the eye-ridge area juts out that much farther, and it has more of a fluid “backswept” effect overall; he’s only got a few pouches, two, maybe three if the arm-band works as a pouch.
But the overall effect of this particular Ckone X character is that he reads as a somewhat Tech-shaped individual. And I have a few thoughts on this.
First, I do think this might be on purpose. Yes, the base armor, minus the shoulder and arm straps and the pouches, is basically identical to the Clone X armor we see in season two. I think it’s more or less standard issue to clone assassins and, apart from a couple little tweaks (again, the straps and the pouches), is not at all unique in that regard. That said, if the production team knew what the story was doing with Tech in advance—and I think they did, I don’t think this show was written from beginning to end at the start, because that doesn’t happen, but I suspect they had the major story beats outlined before moving forward—it’s possible that the design team used Tech’s armor as the template from which to derive the clone X armor for season two. I’m not saying that happened, but I am saying it’s possible.
Second, I’m not saying this is Tech. I’m not sure if it is. I’m leaning that direction right now, but I might lean otherwise in an hour or two. We’ll see. What I am one-hundred percent sure of, however, is that these shots of this guy are Grade A Tech speculation bait—and intended that way. I think we’re meant to speculate about whether this is Tech or not. The TBB team gave us absolutely no indication that Tech is dead for real, nothing final, just the same shot of Tech’s ambiguous fate with a Sad Filter, and then they offered up this very mysterious and Tech-shaped person standing in front of an emotionally poignant location. Whoever he actually is, even if he’s just some random guy, Mystery Clone X guy is here in the trailer to drive Tech discussion during the lead up to season premiere.
Third, if this is Tech, if that’s him, then I think the trailer is being incredibly misleading about what he’s doing there. It looks like this Clone X is leading a squad of stormtroopers in an invasion of Pabu. I’m not sure that’s what’s happening—the stormtroopers are probably there to wreck Pabu, but I’m not sure this Clone X is leading them or even on their side. I don’t think we’re getting an imperial or brainwashed Tech scenario, especially not with how late in the season this shot is probably happening. I think it’s a lot more likely that this outfit originally belonged to the Clone X guy we see speaking in the trailer, Tech jumped him, used the guy’s armor to disguise himself, added some pouched because of course he did, and then inserted himself into a situation to see what he could do to help out. And I don’t think they found Pabu because of Tech, either—the empire has plenty of other ways of doing that.
Fourth, if—if!—we do get a brainwashed Tech, I think it’s going to be short-lived and, hopefully, very different from Crosshair’s situation. I almost wonder if it’s going to turn out to be a bit of a schlocky b-movie mind control helmet situation (I notice that the Clone X from season two only took the face of his helmet off). Like the clone x helmets interface with the inhibitor chips somehow, and it doesn’t work with Tech, because he doesn’t have one, but he plays along so he can get something else done and have a chance to escape. Or something. I’m thinking out loud. Anyway, whatever happens, even if we get an imperial/brainwashed Tech scenario, I think he’s going to be fine and himself well before the end of the series.
Fifth, brainwashed Tech is probably my least favorite of the Tech-lives options. I don’t like it. But this show has a habit of getting me on board with plot choices I did not want, so. If they go that route, I’ll see how they do it, and evaluate from there. I still don’t want it right now, though.
Sixth, there are lots of reasons for it not to be Tech at all,

thoughts about that guy on youtube trying to tame coyotes? he even calls them forest puppies. i saw one where he was trying to brush a coyote, Weave he calls it, and the coyote doesn't seem too happy. and he repeatedly calls it a stray and has his dog around it.
i think he even feeds a raccoon in another one
I haven't looked too deeply into the situation yet (waiting till my tolerance levels are a bit higher to go on a deep dive), but from what I have seen, this is a person who's using the coyotes to garner fame and views and has no actual knowledge about coyote behavior or coyote care.
Coyotes tend to do poorly in captivity without proper enclosures and enrichment. Acclimating wild coyotes to humans only causes problems for the coyote and any people involved. Weave is often displaying stress or aggression behaviors in the videos or is in situations where the person filming or any of his family members could be bitten (pretty sure he's had Weave near his kids many times before). It's a disaster waiting to happen, and the exposure will likely influence other people to attempt to tame wild coyotes or find ways to obtain a coyote or coyote-hybrid as a pet.

Shorter version of my BG3 player character post for those who don’t want to read all the lore but want to know who’s who
First is Aliah(they/them) a half elven ranger. Aliah romanced Astarion and currently has what I consider a “non canon” ending as they were my first ever play through.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second is Arista(she/they) my first Durge! Arista is also a half elven ranger(I like what I like and find too much change to be intimidating. Sue me) She romanced Astarion and resisted her urge
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is Ta’amis(they/them) my least completed campaign. Ta’amis is a Dragonborn ranger who is going to romance Karlach. Ta’amis is my character in the multiplayer campaign my partner and I have together and we’ve only just barely started act 1 lol.
Tumblr media
Finally(for now) is Atavia(she/her) my elven ranger. Atavia has almost reached the end of her campaign. She is romancing Halsin and Astarion. She has the most lore and is the least like me of all my characters so far.

Edit: if anyone ever wants to draw any of My Girls(gender neutral) please feel free!
As long as you aren’t drawing them like. Being murdered/tortured/assaulted/etc😅

I'm new to the fandom, but... why did Oliver’s dad leave, and what island is that from?
It's not from an island, it's from the novels. It's a long surprisingly complicated story.
Oh, the Dad thing:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Short version: Oliver acts up more than other kids (not entirely his fault), and his father couldn't handle it, so... he dipped.
Sad, I know. But he finds out at the end of the story that his father was a jerk anyway, and he's better off without him.

Yeah, short version. Only version.

I've never heard of heaven before, what kind of book is it? and if you don't mind sharing, who is the author?
aghh im so so so glad that you asked this. i actually have a review / collection of thoughts on the book and the themes that i noticed in it on my sideblog here, but it does include spoilers for the entire book! i talk about a lot of the books that i read on there <33
the short (and spoiler free) version of that post though is that heaven is a novel written by mieko kawakami about two bullied 14-year-olds who form an unlikely friendship. the protagonist "eyes" is bullied for his lazy eye and is befriended by kojima, another bullied girl in his class. the book explores their friendship through a lens of trauma, violence, and searching for meaning in suffering.
it's a really fantastic book and a pretty short read too (if that matters to you). idk i really really love it. if you don't mind spoilers for it, I've talked about it a lot of my side blog <3
