tgeres so many ddlc fans now who think libitina is absolutely for sure the name of a person and looks like that one white woman image in natsukis file. and im pretty sure this is matpats fault

to be fair i don't think that's a horrible theory. i think the idea that libitina is a name comes from the projectlibitina.com website, the one hidden under a few layers in sayori's file. the file on the website does seem to suggest it is about a person named libitina, or someone referred to as libitina.

personally i think it's like a code name for this test subject, but it does seem like it. is a name. or a nickname

and since the name libitina and such is hidden in the character files, and the image of the white-haired woman is another easter egg from the character files, i don't think it's unreasonable that people put those two together and came up with libitina = woman in hidden image

the part i think is totally wrong is that libitina is literally yuri, somehow. and i think that's 100% matpat's fault

#ask #ddlc #yippee a ddlc ask just as i was coming to post about how i was having ddlc thoughts #project libitina #anyway my personal theories for project libitina are like pretty convoluted. ask me about them if you wanna be like '....what?' #ok so part of it #i do think that libitina is a real person who was probably like. test subject zero for this whole cult/study thing #i call her libby #but also probably she was named/nicknamed that after the god they worship #or after some other symbol of their uh. belief system? #considering the entire project is named after libitina and also libtina is the name of a roman goddess #unsure if libitina (real person or goddess/symbol) is the woman in natsuki.chr #but either one might be plausible? #anyway follow for more ddlc theories im like if matpat was a girl

Whenever people ask me if I drank in high school I’m just gonna show them this map. I’m from Utah and I don’t think you could even BUY alcohol in my home town.

#like i have friends now who drank and did HARD DRUGS as teenagers and i was just living in a completely different reality #the subject comes up shockingly often #it does truly sound like i was living in a locked down cult compound when i try to explain my childhood to people who didnt grow up in utah #i do wonder whats going on in that one (1) county in the top right #pretty sure its not slc but it might be park city?? which makes sense bc ski town

You have Cat Quest aus?

Fgsgvjthjhj

I do! Well, just one lol

I call it the Second Chance AU It's specifically for Cat Quest 2

Basically the two protagonists are sent back home, but instead of losing all their memories they keep them, and are forced to figure out how to fix things before both fall into all out chaos.

#It's mainly about them making connections with the people in the kingdoms #because one of Lioner and Wolfen's biggest flaws was not paying attention to the needs of the subjects #for the sake of separation I call the main protagonists Felis and Canis respectively #that way I don't have to always specify which version of them I'm taking about #this is just a basic summary of it (I just woke up and my brain is still trying to start up lol) and there's a couple more details that #are in the story. like O had this whole idea for a cult that followed Aelius that would act as the main antagonist (inspired by an anime #I really like) and with the AU came a lot of filling in little world building details not touched on by the game #like how magic works and the differences in culture between the two kingdoms (I've been meaning to do some research for that) #I also have an idea for a sub-plot touching on what could have happened to Felinguard and why he mysteriously disappeared #there's also a handful of ocs. some of which I have yet to draw. that will be included due to the nature of the story being about connection #anyway #it's still technically in developmental phase partly because I'm afraid of it not coming across right when I write it down #so yea #Skylar answers stuff #thank you btw :) seeing this first thing in the morning made my day

oh btw patch notes released, but way more importantly FORAGING PROGRESS AND SOME INSANE LORE BITS TO GO WITH IT

#i gotta log out for a bit and now im not gonna be able to focus all day at work kjfhg #blood god.. save me blood god...... #i want the resistance back but more importantly i want a bit of what techno added... #feels like no one wants to touch the subject but i think it would be sweet to be able to see him in some way ya know #it was like a home augh............ #wonder if they'll add anything to do with the cult of the fallen star :0 #chat #sb

The Sunday School teacher who gets mad when you ask too many questions instead of uncritically absorbing their sermon.

It should always be a red flag when people who teach or claim to provide moral leadership are contemptuous of truth.

People thought they were being kind by enabling the democratization of truth - "my truth," "lived experience" - but it just gave us a society-wide implementation of "alternative facts."

regrettably, my library doesn't have any of the riders of pern books, which is really too bad since I'm reaching the end of the darkover books I had borrowed and I wanted something else to read

They do have the locked tomb books (in french) so that was tempting, but I am just not sure I'm emotionally ready to either get into this or find out I don't like it and start being annoyed at 15% of my tumblr dashboard

I guess I need to check what other old school fantasy/sf books they have

#I realise that as much as I love fantasy I mostly just read what my dad had lying around #and our tastes didn't always align #I distinctly remember reading the entire Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance just because it was there and hating 85% of it with burning passion #(though the other 15% I really really loved a lot) #(unlike Darkover I absolutely refuse to subject myself to Lyonesse ever again and I doubt Ill want to read anything else of Jack Vance ever #I also have vague memory of other books I'd picked up and dropped #one I think was about those d&d novel dark elves with the spider cult? #another about a prince with a cursed sword that has super powers but pushes him to kill #and one prequel of like a mouse-themed clever guy and his big brawn buddy? #at the times I found these boring but I was young and also I skip fight scenes in novels so that didn't help lol #jau rants #and boy did I rant in the tags this time lol

[barbieaiden]

thinking about how aiden has no pictures from his childhood and has suppressed a lot of it and he's no contact with his parents and his brother is dead so he has no one to ask either

#i have such a cool concept for visual things surrounding this for the sim story #for like potential cult flashbacks and stuff #but that has to wait a little i think like there's already enough going on with aiden and the coma lmao #i'm so torn on what to address regarding aiden's cult trauma in the sim story i don't want to go too deep on certain subjects #because it is a sim story and i feel like i can't address certain things properly and stuff #we'll see when i get there i guess lmao

Blue Murphy (FC5/DC) | Rooney Shepard (Mass Effect)

Hunter Delaney (Resident Evil) | Sawyer Beaumont (DX:MD)

I was tagged by @natesofrellis and @poeti-kat to do this piccrew! I think Rooney's might be favorite, especially since it includes Shepard Jr.!

Tagging: @allthearchetypes, @sstewyhosseini, @thomrainer, @hoesephseed, @marivenah, @smithandrogers, @i-am-the-balancing-point, @indorilnerevarine, @bluemojave, @henbased, @adelaidedrubman, @purplehairsecretlair, @strafethesesinners, @clicheantagonist, @derelictheretic, @chocobothis, and anyone else who wants to do this! (I'm sorry for tagging so many people, but I'm actually on time with one of these lol!)

#tag meme #Blue Murphy #I won't let fear compromise who I am #Hunter Delaney #Sawyer Beaumont #Blue just looks like they're trying to enjoy nature while the cult's breathing down their neck #Meanwhile Rooney and Shepard Jr. are like WTF #Hunter's probably being subjected to another one of Wesker's lectures and is like what is wrong with you my guy (affectionate) #and Sawyer is getting ready to cause trouble on purpose

You know how Descole described Targent as being like a cult, at least when his parents were abducted?

I know he meant in the fact that they were small but incredibly dedicated, but I wonder just how true that sentiment really is

#like…is Bronev literally a victim of cult brainwashing and that’s why he’s so ruthless and uncaring towards his children? #mind you I don’t know much about cults and how they work I’ve only seen some a couple videos on the subject #but I know one thing they do is cut you off from friends and family #also give their members new names so they’d easier lose their sense of self #and Targent uses code names for everyone #though oddly not Bronev #I dunno I might be reaching #I’m still just trying to figure out Bronev here #honestly I’m wishing we knew more about how Targent worked #I once suggested a game following Bronev pre-Targent but what if instead we had a game of him while working for them #and throughout the game we see him be manipulated and slowly twisted from a good man into something we’re more familiar with #that would be pretty dark for this series but fascinating to see in my opinion #I think I may have rambled for too long #I just have a lot of thoughts about this #professor layton #leon bronev #targent #edit: actually now remembering lbmr…maybe it’s not that dark for the series. I mean it’s still dark but #you know #actually I wonder now is this what they were trying to go for with Bronev? #at least at that ending bit? #…nah I don’t think so #they never really mentioned his feelings towards Targent or his experiences there other than Rachel dying

Your friendly reminder there are different branches of Mormonism and that’s actually an important distinction. FLDS and LDS are different, and both hate each other so like. Yeah.

FLDS encourages Polygamy still, LDS doesn’t. FLDS also has had quite a few issues regarding underaged marriage. Sociologist are much quicker to label FLDS as a cult than LDS.

The LDS church is much more organized and has a much larger global impact.

I hate both with a passion but they are not the same.

Things both are guilty of, racism, sexism, shame culture, transphobia, queer-phobia, homophobia, antisemitism, ableism, pedophiles, and rich people.

#I’m not arguing with anyone on what qualifies as a cult unless you can actually prove to me that you went through an actual religions class #look I know quite a bit on this subject #I’ve take classes on religion and read extensively about these two #I was raised LDS #jay rants #Mormon #ex mormon #religion #Religion discussed

Playing through Oblivion’s Mages Guild questline is always a good way to remind myself of how Hannibal Necrophobe Traven banning necromancy led to the schism that destroyed the Mages Guild.

Hope the remainder of his soul is rotting in the Soul Cairn tbh

#elder scrolls #oblivion #it's like #idk what the plot was going for but then again i'm dumb #plenty of npcs talk about how it was that decision that caused a lot of people to leave the guild higher ups included #and it's implied that the instability was what drew mannimarco out to rally the necros and finish off the guild #yet you don't see any sympathetic necromancers lol #even Kalthar's eventually noted to have been a 'reformed' necromancer #even though his antagonism doesn't have anything to do with the subject #but like it's hard to actually hate the modern worm cult tbh

[cats-in-the-clouds]

another day of me finding absolutely no help as to the question of whether or not you as a catholic should call a trans-identified person by the pronouns they say they wanna be called by or if you should refrain from encouraging their delusion with their gender in any way

#everyone’s like ‘just use the name they wanna be called! bc what’s really in a name? anyone can have multiple names’ #and i’m like ok sure sounds great no problem #but then everyone’s like ‘when it comes to using pronouns/honorifics/simple words such as man or woman uhhhhhhh #well we advise that you simply avoid the subject ;)’ #HOW ON EARTH IS THAT HELPFUL if you’re gonna have any sort of conversation with that person ever #if you’re ever gonna refer to them in the third person in polite society in front of other people who might tear you to shreds #for not using the person’s preferred pronouns bc they’re all liberal-biased #like. this advice falls apart so fast the moment the conversation is more than just you and the person in question alone #you could use the same argument and say call them what they wanna be called to demonstrate your respect for them as a person #but then it’s like. proper names don’t really matter but pronouns specifically indicate gender in our language. #they mean something and we all know and understand it. it is socially understood. it just is #there is no firm case to argue otherwise when it comes to linguistic discussions. you are just confusing people by muddying it #so then that absolutely counts as encouraging gender delusion doesn’t it #man. #as someone who’s escaped the gender identity cult i have experience with switching pronouns and language on a dime #so it’s not like it’s difficult for me to do it in either case i’ll use dumb fake language if i have to i can do it #but. should i have to????? idk man..;;; #avoiding the subject altogether usually would have to mean avoiding the PERSON altogether #or like. refusing to acknowledge their existence outside of direct communication with them #does that not feel insanely disrespectful??? far more than either of the other options??? #we cannot morally afford to simply ignore this kind of question and we cannot function in society that way

[outeremissary]

Are there any Forgotten Realms lore experts out there who could let me know what the canonical status of free will is in the setting, if the subject has ever been addressed? Is the future set or can it be shaped by individual actors? What degree of agency do mortals and gods have? Has this changed over the publication history of the setting?

#I know one true prophet exists and foresight is within the grasp of the cult of savras but the exact mechanics elude me at present #(if they ever have been addressed! which Fair Enough if they haven't tbh) #just really curious what is out there on the subject

im getting the zoomies so hard rn my brain is going in all different directions with the cult au. maybe i should just draw them out ksdflajdfaksdjflad

#the thought that is really at the forefront right now is him essentially drugging you with tea #the tea makes you feel relaxed and in a dazed state #everything around you seems brighter and happier #in turn youre more trusting of izuku #you answer all his silly questions with a smile #telling him about your life before he found you #what your friends are like #what your likes and dislikes are #alllllll these silly little questions that he certainly isnt going to use at his disposal #all of this is subject to change !!! #idk what im talking about !! #deku cult au
