I’m not really sure why people are (negatively) surprised there’s an event happening, the QSMP has been marching on for awhile now as they work on things behind the scenes. Whether its good or not, I don’t think it’s as shocking as people are making it out to be

Though would be nice if we could find out what the event even IS before getting up in arms about it

#qsmp #qadmin situation #qsmp neg #qsmp discourse #I feel neutral on it #like I said it doesn’t feel particularly shocking #given the QSMP is currently active #I can’t say I’d disagree with it being closed for a longer period of time #buuuut realistically I figured at some point they’d continue as things are worked on #it’s just a logic that makes sense to me

the ST set design put the word “henry” behind Will’s neck in s4 and yet I’m supposed to believe that the word “women” being behind Mike when he’s upset and talking about “bullshit media propaganda” isn’t supposed to mean anything?

#stranger things #byler #like hot take but seriously what is the point of that if Mike is attracted to women??? #It Doesn’t Make Sense #It Only Makes Sense If He’s Gay #this is gonna be smthn I talk abt in my gay Mike analysis but….. ppl cherry-picking what scenes they think the set design has meaning in vs #which ones are ‘random’ and ‘ur looking too far into it’ gets so annoying sometimes #by all means disagree with my analysis but it’s like. if you believe that the set design team is capable of doing things like the detail of #henry behind Will’s neck and all of the byler details then why are they suddenly not capable of that same level of detail when it comes to #gay Mike? the logic just Doesn’t Make Sense #I’m not talking abt people disagreeing with the analysis of what the ‘women’ behind him means I’m tlaking abt people ignoring/dismissing it

I remember watching YTTD playthroughs on YouTube after 3-1b came out and seeing a lot of people in the comments hating on the logic route and going on about how Nankidai must have intended for it to be some sort of “punishment” for choosing Sou over Kanna and like. I’m sorry. Did you not see the appeal of Ranmaru going beast mode. Did you really feel punished when Sou got offended at the drink machine because Sara lied about it having soup. Ranmaru murking one of the Yabusames was a small price to pay for “That would make it look like the interior of your head Miss Sara 😄” .

#the logic route is amazing #not even in an ‘i want all my faves to go evil because it would be interesting’ way #but in a ‘the main character has more personality and everything seems to make more sense in this route’ way #i feel like people write the logic route off as objectively worse just because it’s sadder #but it being more grim doesn’t mean it wasn’t written as well as the emotion route #yttd #kimi ga shine #your turn to die #sou hiyori #sara chidouin #ranmaru kageyama

Not sure if anyone else has thought of this but i think that the reason Slime is glitching while having kinda less visible code is that it’s taking over his hybrid cells specifically.

Because essentially being a slime hybrid means that his cells are always changing. He appears mostly human with slime parts but to consistently look human his cells would be constantly be changing to keep shape because he’s goo!

So with the heavy dose of code corruption and his cells ever changing it’s only showing in heavily infected areas where as the areas not visible are glitching because the slime is separating and his body is no longer stable.

While Etoiles and Max are slowly corrupted because their bodies aren’t constantly changing and are kinda more stable against the consistent and controlled low dosage of corruption they’re receiving?

#this is sorta my hc for slime too but this is kinda the only logical way his hybridness makes sense to me #also max isnt really a hybrid so it makes sense that he doesn’t have visible corruption but does have a prosthetic #qsmp #qsmp slimecicle #qsmp code entity #idk kinda feel like the hybridness is more code controlled in a way??

just a thought but like. if akiyama, who’s established as being a bizarrely talented investigator in y5, suspected kiryu’s death to have been faked (or at least “fishy” in his own words) basically on the fucking Spot, i feel like it just makes sense that majima would’ve been just as quick, if not quicker to see where shit wasn’t adding up and become skeptical that the whole thing was a coverup. reason being, in y5 he put shit together and figured out the grand scheme going on so damn early most people didn’t even suspect yet that there was any scheme going on. he then faked his own death well enough to get it in the papers and had masterminded himself all the way to the final boss (with some help of course) before things backfired on him. so he’s got some crazy good skills when it comes to reading people, figuring out their intentions, putting puzzle pieces together, etc– way better than he wants people knowing, generally– and he knows the hallmark signs of a faked death because he’s literally done it before. all that on top of knowing kiryu like the back of his hand and knowing damn well how hard this man is to kill, and how prone to running away from shit for the sake of the safety of people he cares about (for better or for worse) he is. he could absolutely put together that, if given the opportunity by some faction or powerful individual, kiryu would sacrifice his identity and status as a legit living person for the assured safety of others, or for yakuza tensions to diminish, or maybe even as an act of self-flagellation.

tldr: I think the reasons majima didn’t go rogue/apeshit after kiryu’s alleged death are that A) for once he has saejima around to reign him in and make it feel less like Everything has been lost, B) I think he’s legitimately known pretty much all along that kiryu didn’t die that day; nor would he believe it unless he saw it with his own eye.

#however. I also think it would clash with his tendency to be way more cynical and nihilistic than his persona makes him seem #like I do think he’d be pretty fucking sure in his gut And with his logic that kiryu wasn’t dead #but there’d be a pesky depressive part of him that’d scold him for being too idealistic or hopeful in a world that’s so fond of #torturing him. he doesn’t think himself Lucky to say the least. but if he held out hope for saejima while he was on death row for literally #years and saejima did make it back to him in one piece eventually– he’d have some ammo to reason with himself if that makes sense #that + I feel like saejima upon hearing him spiral into supposedly ‘realistic’ nihilism would Strongly reassure him #via reminding him that HE made it back to majima in the end. and that saejima himself knows from experience what a faked death feels like #and how holding onto hope Can in fact be fruitful in the end. overall a bad time for majima after kiryu’s fake death obviously but #he’d be surprisingly stable with all that going for him. makes me think he and saejima would really be the ones keeping daigo from falling #apart. considering he doesn’t have basis for the kind of hope they’re capable of having. almost everyone important to daigo dies eventually #his dad. mine right in front of him. now kiryu. boy must have abandonment issues off the damn charts. #I also like to think he hung around shinada a bit after that incident to just have Something good and pure in his life occasionally. but #he’d be cautious and occasional about it out of fear that he’d ruin shinada’s life or cause him trouble #anyway. many thoughts about all this. they didn’t dive nearly enough into the old guard characters’ reactions to kiryu’s ‘death’ so. yeah #rambling #y6 #majima #kazumaji

Random au because I can't stop thinking about this:

On the doc Mike and Pac found in the prison said that if Walter Bob completed that specific task he would be free from the jail/no longer a prisoner, right? (MY memory isn't the best so maybe this is a bit wrong but that is what we have for today folks augstwfwywfrqcw)

So

What if one day he finishes the task and Cucorucho with a smile brings him to another federation building and asks him to get into a room

So

Days later Fit is asked to clean a room, no big deal, another day of honest work where he starts lurking around looking for anything that could be useful for him and his mission

And then, in another place that he isn't suppose to be, but that he got into anyway is a... something. In the corner. It's small, it's scared, maybe even trembling a little bit and tired, very tired.

It's an egg.

When he enters, it turns around to face him and Fit freezes for a second because now he can clearly read the name on top of the kid.

"Walter Bob"

Well, he isn't coming out of that building alone.

Also! For fluff purposes! Imagine he bringing him to show Pac and Mike, like, Walter Bob doesn't have the memories of Before but he can't help but feel at ease around those "strangers" and their vibrant, lively energy, especially because they seem to like be around him as well, always full of hugs and itens and new places to show around.

Ramon being a good older brother! Showing him how to explode things and being perfect to bring his more quiet and chaotic side.

The fact that before he couldn’t remember ever having a bed just the cold metal of the cell and the guards shouting and pain and experiments and cold cold cold

But now it's different! Now he has a family, people from everywhere smiling and talking to him and helping and saying strange, kind things like that their house is his as well and that if he ever ever need he could call

And then Forever reforms the NINHO to have another room and Bad calls him to chat while making his buildings and Baghera gives him a bunch of invisible potions so they can hang around listening to gossips and Philza is always chill in letting him visit and Foolish laugh and goof around like nothing could ever go wrong everytime he gets too anxious and Mike and Pac are there and...

And Richas gives him beautiful paintings to put in his room and Dapper show him all his cool animal collection and Leo take him to a train ride and Tallulah helps him to decorate his room and...

And and and

(And the hope is there, it hurts too much to bare sometimes, like it's a knife that already cut him before.

But little by little, with time, the wounds begins to heal)

#this is literally me in despair for any kind of fluff with Walter bob pls mah man already suffered SO MUCH #and yeah I feel like this outcome is very ooc but WELL OH WELL what is this??? logic in my au #??? no thanks I will take the domestic fluff #qsmp #qsmp au #maybe I will write an oneshot for this later #i really just want them to be a big family aaaaa ♡♡♡♡ #walter bob #ALSO THIS GIVES CHANCE FOR PAC AND FIT GET CLOSER I MEAN COUGH COUGH CO-PARENTING AM I RIGHT #watch Mike discovers that fit has a new egg and it's Walter Bob and suddenly getting all his things and moving to Fit's house #w Pac following behind like 'sorry sorry we're all like a package deal now yeah I don’t think Mike is gonna let him go for some time sooo... #Sleepover time :DDDD #(Mike would like to just get Walter Bob and run for it but he doesn’t want to wake any bad memory so :( #also the angst potential of them realizing that he holds no memory of his past. of what they have lived together in that prison. #of Walter Bob sometimes seeing the fed buildings he did and feeling an horrible dread overcoming him for some reason. #the way that he is tired most of the time and how visiting some places makes him have such a strong sense of dejavu #yeah yeah anyway I am. full of thoughts. #Pac #Mike #Fit

If Gregory got wings because of remnant and/or time travel, logically, Michael would too because he still remembers the time before the time travel which means whatever caused them both to time travel, by this logic, would also give them both wings.

Well :0c Gregory was the only one to travel completely physically unlike Michael who’s soul was the only thing that went back (^◇^；) but yeah maybe the whole energy of it is what affects the change ฅ(≚ᄌ≚) at least it can be like that in the version where he also gets them not just Greg but then idk how that could explain CC getting them too :Tc

#trying to find logic in an AU where wings just sprout outta nowhere is like trying to find a needle in a haystack #but it doesn’t have to make sense :v it’s all for good honest fun #we’ve strayed too far from canon in this one that everything is valid #bless #💖💖💖 #pix answers #fnaf

[exhausted-archivist]

In regards to my last reblog on the scale of Thedas, latitude and stuff. I’ve been thinking about how much thought I give all this. Especially because this topic is one I’ve been talking with a lot of people about lately. It crops up a lot with people who, like me enjoy natural world building or are fanfic writers. Or really anyone who sits down and reads the lore at length. More times then not the question of Thedas’s scale comes up.

So, I want to establish I am very well aware that I’m likely giving it more thought than the devs. I have that luxury as a fan and consumer of the series. It is extremely relevant for me because I like making maps for the series, plotting out travel paths, and scaling things for da ttrpg campaigns I write.

So because I think about it a lot, I notice all the many different scales of Thedas in terms of travel time. How the scale they gave the ttrpg doesn’t match up with any scale they established in the main games or books. I think if the devs sat down and thought about establishing a standard scale and also considering just basic stuff we also wouldn’t have the Deep Roads be 2-4 miles / 3.21-6.43 km below sea level and display a lack of geothermal qualities. I think they’d consider how they built a world with at least 9.1 million people and tons of mega fauna such as giants and dragons and 14’/4.26 m tall bears that hunt dragons, all squished into roughly 1/4 of Europe and how much that isn’t really sustainable. How there would be much more impact if nature encroachment in civilization and how common things like that would be in places. Which they do consider it to a degree, I’m not saying they don’t. But I think if they thought about it just to make the world something that holds up a little better to idle musings, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. That the world would feel more real and alive and also narratively give them more to work with.

The contradictions and lack of consideration for the natural world has always been one of my critiques of Dragon Age, among other things. The reason why that is, is mostly because of a noticeable trend the lack of natural world building in fantasy. It’s a topic that has been discussed elsewhere and at length by other people, but to summarize nature is slowly having less and less impact in fantasy even in an ambient quality. Obviously this isn’t a universal statement, nor a universally required thing for a story to explore and have. That there are things that do focus on and explore it, but speaking in general terms, it is a trend in the majority of media.

Which for me is a bummer as it is an aspect of writing and world building I enjoy. I really like themes of man vs nature and to have that you need to have a basic level of natural world building. Which BioWare doesn’t really explore in Dragon Age despite having elements of it - such as how regular raw lyrium is explosive, mages get sick around all lyrium unless it is diluted to a safe amount for mages, and raw lyrium straight up kills them if they’re in the same room.

So then you have questions of how do mages go/handle being underground with such a risk? Dwarves have stone sense but would mages be able to tell when they’re getting close to large lyrium deposits because they’re getting sick? Does this impact grey warden mages? Darkspawn mages?

Things that don’t get fully acknowledged or explored despite being mentioned casually in codices most people don’t read. And they don’t for a couple of reasons such as potential coding issues but also all the questions you’d have to ask:

How would you implement that as a mechanic? Would you lock mage players out of entire areas featuring raw lyrium? Would they take environmental damage if you wanted the players to explore it regardless? Would it be a mechanic only applied by in harder difficulty modes? Do you acknowledge it in banter but not in any other way? Create a way to explain why the pc mage and their mage companions aren’t dropping dead?

BioWare’s answer seems to seemingly just ignore it because it would make gameplay too challenging/punishing and likely might not be fun for a player to deal with. But they compromise by keeping the lore active in the canon through codices and low impact additions. Which is a completely okay solutions, not my preferred but I get why they do it.

When I approach this lore, I do so without expecting them to fully flesh out each nation or know which city has the most resources and the geologically rich lands in said country. Dragon Age, and BioWare in general, relies on semi-soft world building. The world was after all designed for a game. They only need to build out what they need and what hopefully won’t paint them into a corner with future installments.

Additionally, the writing style for Dragon Age doesn’t suit the hard world building that I prefer, I’m quite aware of that but also know that when it comes to talk about world building in any media, there is always the issue of people (like me) who world build for fun and consider all these small aspects but ultimately they aren’t always needed and necessary for the story a game like Dragon Age is telling.

Dragon Age is told with the intention of things being given from an unreliable narrator. Built on the concept of: there’s three sides to the truth, what x thinks happens, what y thinks happens, and then what actually happened. Which works and I love the premise.

That said, I think that it also impacts lore that shouldn’t be subjected to the unreliable narrator. Foundation or anchor lore points to be specific. Which, as we know, BioWare has always struggled with consistency in their lore, particularly with Dragon Age.

Distance is one of those foundational points that shouldn’t change, and it’s also one of those points that you don’t have to give exact travel times. You can leave it vague and stick to the official statements like the ones we have of Ferelden being the size of England (or Ireland depending on the source you use). If you’re going to be giving specifics, then I think being consistent with how long it travels to get to point a to b and not changing it multiple times in one game should be a basic expectation that is met.

Other ones the series has and is pretty consistent with is how we know Thedas has 24 hours a day, they have seasons like we expect, and are in the southern hemisphere.

Do they sometimes slip up because editing doesn’t catch they’ve made a reference that applies only to the northern hemisphere? Yeah, and that’s not bad. There are a lot of people working on the project and things slip through.

I know I have the luxury to think about Thedas in a capacity that allows for the hard world building that I like. I also know I focus on and enjoy aspects of lore that are not exactly popular for their main audience and are pretty niche.

I don’t expect BioWare to world build how I do because I’m not world building for a massive and varied audience. Not even when I do world building for my tabletop games, because I’m catering to a smaller and more specific audience.

Still I think it’s valid and worth pondering these little elements of the world building. For fun, appreciation, and to nurture one’s own creativity and understanding of media, the world, and what they think makes a believable world.

Devs might not have time to consider it but we sure do and that’s half the fun of enjoying media I think.

[ID: text from a day of fallen night, reading, “‘Farfetched as it sounds, yes. [start highlight.] He was seen in the haithwood, performing a ritual, dressed as if to mock a sanctarian. [end highlight.] His followers, who fled before they could”. the text cuts off there. /end ID]

I know this is such a trivial detail but it’s genuinely been haunting me since I read this part. the clothing of a follower of the original religion of inysca, seeming to mimic that of a sanctarian of the six virtues? “mocking,” through a secret ritual that is not meant to be seen, especially not by those that are supposedly being mocked?

I think it’s the other way around. that the sanctarian robes are based on “heathen” ones. I don’t know if was deliberate or not, whether galian chose it because it was familiar to his people, to ease the (forced) conversion, or just because it was familiar to him. but most likely, the sanctarian robes are a remnant of the original religion of inysca, still visible in the six virtues, and it probably isn’t the only one. how ironic, then, that heathens are persecuted in the name of virtudom, even as their religion lives on the other. that what they now deem “heresy” stands at the very foundations of their own religion.

#a day of fallen night #roots of chaos #the priory of the orange tree #adofn #much in the same way they worship cleolind as their damsel yet scorn her for being a heretic #just. how incredibly ironic the entirety of the six virtues is #their founding legend just being. incorrect. how they worship a long-dead man for his lie. kalyba’s involvement and how ‘the deceiver had #himself been deceived.’ how they scorn and persecute other religions yet wouldn’t exist without them. etc #analysis #<- ish #elli rambles #adofn spoilers #r #a #roc #also it’s obviously logical that wulf thinks he’s mocking sanctarians because that is where he recognises those robes from #because he follows the six virtues (or at least does at that point lol) #also a fun little detail is that while ead calls it a herigaut in priory wulf just describes it as a sanctarian’s robe #which could mean that either the word doesn’t yet exist in adofn or wulf just doesn’t know it #the latter of which would make sense tbh considering that while wulf follows the six virtues he is just a regular practitioner and not #particularly knowledgeable about it #meanwhile ead had to study the faith quite well for her conversion #so it makes sense she knows the term #anyway. conclusion: six virtues syncretism & irony <3

so funny to me that jenny doesn’t regenerate or anything, she just comes right back to life as the same person. girl how’d you do that.

#no but how’d she do that. why doesn’t jenny have to follow time lord rules. #why’s she function on jack harkness logic. how does she work. fascinated by her. #does this imply that the regeneration ability as we see it isn’t actually like. inherent to the doctor. at least not the way they regenerate #now. because jenny is specifically cloned from the doctor. not another time lord. them specifically. #which. so why doesn’t she get regeneration with that. why does she just get to come back to life. #idk where im going with this. something about this implies to me that regenerstion as it is. is not. how it naturally would be? #that the changing of faces is something that came later. that was added. to a more simple process of dead -> alive again. #possibly as a protective measure? because there’s only so much life one body. one mind. can take before it begins to break under the strain #of it all. in a way regenerations function as compartmentalization of all that time and trauma. but if you didn’t have that you’d have to #hold it all in you at once forever. so it would make sense for regenerations to be engineered specifically in response to that problem. #and so the doctor regenerates. but jenny. cloned. got the original code for regeneration somehow. the one that doesn’t involve a change of #face. so she just comes back to life. idk. just tossing ideas out there i guess. i like jenny :)
