Do y'all know how absolutely irritating it is that I have come up with what (I think, at least) is a pretty bang-up explanation/twist for the Clara Oswald/Impossible Girl storyline and it's at LEAST five fics away from the current update in this fic series I'm working on? And because I understand proper set-up/build-up/payoff I KNOW I can't drop it now and I need to finish fleshing out/writing the four fics in between? Absolutely maddening.

⚠️!!!SPOILERS!!!⚠️

HELLO! Spoilers for the “???” Mr. Qi Event, which you unlock after seeing the “Treasure Cave” event in year 4 and beyond.

If you have already seen the event, OR you’re cool with spoilers and such, then by all means, read on! I can’t really stop you.

The event itself was a heavy hitter for me, as it left me feeling like there will be something more to experience in the upcoming SVE Updates (super excited for 2.0, by the way). After experiencing the quest, it got me thinking of who Mr. Qi is as a person. I’ve never taken him as a villain, just more as an unhinged guy who happens to see and hear everything. Now that I’ve seen some events featuring him, and, admittedly, some fan content, I’m more inclined to believe he’s so much more than some creepy stalker. It’s shown in an event having to do with the jukebox, that he knows about the fourth wall, and how Stardew Valley is a video game. It’s hinted at in the ??? event, too. And sure, it’s pretty much a guarantee with how he is in the vanilla game, if you read in between the lines. But I like taking things literally when it comes to these things. If it’s not yet been confirmed that Mr. Qi is aware, then I’d only take it as a headcanon. In the expanded world, it’s obvious he is aware.

Anyhow, there’s a lot of speculation about Mr. Qi. I believe he’s the mastermind behind literally everything. He claims destiny and whatnot, but I refuse to believe he isn’t some eldritch horror setting shit up behind the scenes. There’s no way he isn’t behind something.

My thoughts about Qi isn’t really the main point of this post; the main point was to describe how my farmer, or Bo, would react to this event. I didn’t put an in-depth analysis on how Bo thinks and functions in my fanfiction, because I felt I wanted to focus more on the comedy side of things, less on the seriousness. But here’s that in depth description now:

Bo has always dreaded the idea of destiny and becoming a famous figure in the adventuring world. He grew up resenting his fellow comrades, and any other guildee he’d meet. The only person stopping him, at the time, from running away from Northmill (his first guild/school) was Amelia. Amelia herself is quite a character, as she’s firmly set in monster hunting. She was labeled as a legend amongst her colleagues, due to her exceptional skills and kind nature. Amelia grew up loving adventuring, making it her lifelong goal to correct what’s wrong in the world (monsters). If it weren’t for her death, Bo would be fighting right alongside her. He’d serve many guilds (e.g., Northmill, his magic tutors, Pelican Town’s, and probably Castle Village, working with Amelia). 

Unfortunately, her death lead to him dropping out of the field. At the time of her death, he was working with Jubilee and Juno, the Gotoran wizards who’d been teaching him how to control his own magic. He’d end up retreating to another country, moving away from all things adventuring and getting a job in a, albeit small, monster-free country. Things fast-forward, and we get to the point that I document now, in my fic. Where he still actively tries to stay away from monster hunting, but still finds himself being dragged back into it. 

He doesn’t want to be a legacy. He doesn’t feel like he should follow in Amelia’s footsteps, as he’d end up being second best to her. Disappointing others isn’t the best feeling in the world. With that, his entire life plan to create a half-decent farm to live on. Forget monster hunting, retire his sword, and put all of that behind him. It’s difficult as hell, definitely, but he still thinks he can do it. The problem arrises when he meets Qi, who puts more pressure on him than he wants.

After having forced his way through the Badlands, mostly for his own personal research, Bo did stumble upon the treasure cave, putting himself in more shit than he wants. The event with Qi plays out like normal, with Qi claiming that Bo is, in the most basic of words, “The Chosen One.”

And that throws him for a fucking loop. He was too distraught to react there with Qi, so once he got home, he threw a fucking fit. Without being able to properly communicate it with his roommates, he panics. Bo has always been suscpetible to anger and destruction when feeling intense emotion, like a meltdown. When he has that chance to let out all the frustrations of knowing that he’s destined for something more, you’d damn bet he’d go on a long ass rant about it. Crying, yelling, throwing things, breaking things, all while ranting about a destiny he’s not suited for. And he can’t tell his roommates, or ANYONE for that matter, what brought this on. If it weren’t for the fact that there are people relying on him, such as Cain and Jack, he’d probably blow his brains out. And, right, that sounds dramatic and whatnot, but this is a guy who’s spent his entire life running away from a destiny. From being told that he’s the one. And now, it’s caught up to him.

Overall, I feel like this single event would cause Bo to go down a spiral of lunacy. He’d go crazy. Batshit fucking insane. In all honesty, I could write an entire novel about this subject. Strictly about the relationship Bo and Qi would have. Not a good one, mind you. It’d start out comedic, and then it’d spiral into some 25 year old dude ACTUALLY losing his mind over destiny.

That’s really all, I feel like. I love this event, and I love making up how my farmer specifically would react to certain events. I can’t wait to see what Flashshifter has in store for Qi in 2.0 and beyond (if there is one).

Sorry for the long post, this blog is usually centered around comedy shit and stuff, but I LOVE this event so much. Made me feel stuff I usually don’t.

I will have an eternal love/hate relationship with dr*gon *ge, but unlike //bg3, there was that copium I could inhale that unfinished arcs and characters would be addressed in some way down the track. Even if the place they address it is questionable (I have my criticisms for da having stories in comics and not in video game format).

Larian just went "we're handing it to wotc and take it up with them" instead of like, even giving a glimmer of optimism that another team would take on the role or even co-ordinate with wotc what early plans outlines wotc have for //bg3 and B*ldur's g*te going forward?

#larian critical #can't y'all tell i do not like the ceo of larian #tbh i dont like a lot of ceos #nerozane rants #like imo if they ever did an expan i dont expect it for another few years but the tweets are really... idk #they were rancid for a ceo who could hire someone to lessen the blow for a game that got everyone excited for updates

Here's the 1st article about Wheel of Time and Ai

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240215417247/en/iwot-and-D1srupt1ve-Join-Forces-as-True-SourceTM-to-Unleash-AI-Magic-on-%E2%80%9CThe-Wheel-of-Time%E2%80%9D%C2%AE---Private-Beta-Now-Available

This does not inspire faith.

#wheel of time #wot series #also the ai feels ai generated as well #this feels like a dumb gimmick but could be expaned to be worse

[lapis-lazuliie]

so i'll most likely just make a tumble post or some kind of article about this ( maybe?? ), but if i talked about the LGBT rep in the lads' works, like....a proper elaborate deep dive essay type thing, would you guys....enjoy that? engage in it, i mean

#idk i just have a lot of thoughts. obviously #and i keep hammering on about it because 1) whatever i've got swimming about in here needs to come out and #b) it kinda Needs to be brought up #and idk like. yelling into the void is fine i don't mind that #but also if i did ever expan on this in a more....refined way? articulating it better #would that be something of interest? or would it be something just tossed into the ocean that is the internet in the chances of getting #at least a nibble by a curious fish #just. yeah. idk just wondering! let me know #she speaks
