i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

ava's demon crack theory I just had: Tylotung's children are all those mushrooms covering every part of Excessan infrastructure we've seen so far, and they are the (possibly still sentient/alive but trapped) remnants of Voracians felled during their battle against TITAN, now forced to serve TITAN by keeping the planet he now owns fertile and productive. All the while their sister-species the Excessans have no idea.

The Voracians were punished for their rebellion, but they never technically left.

Just some scattered thoughts on Excessa

I was looking at this again and it just occurred to me that "Voracian" is written in the circular typeface and "Excessan" is written in the star typeface, while the word "unification" is written in a combination of both, suggesting that when these two peoples/cultures united, they combined their respective alphabets to write the Nimish language - and thus Voracian letters are used as uppercase letters and the Excessan alphabet is used as lowercase letters.

Also, I'm assuming the Voracians (likely with Tylo as their leader) rebelled/fought against TITAN's initial conquest of the planet, and were thus erased/forgotten, hence the remnants of their statues we see in the lower slums ... They were clearly important once.

But the Excessans for whatever reason are still around, so perhaps they didn't fight back - or even welcomed TITAN due to what he was offering, and thus they survived the take-over.

Erios mentions that they frequently have to sign a bunch of papers in exchange for various gifts/benefits, so it's possible when TITAN approached Excessa he offered the royal family/prismonarch gifts in exchange for political power/co-operation - which, in their gluttony, they accepted. The Voracians saw this as a betrayal, the Excessans selling their freedom in exchange for gratification.

I'm basing this assumption on Tylo's attitude toward Erios' hoarding and excess as a kind of spiritual failure (despite her own species' name meaning being based on another word for gluttony or great appetite), and her very strong motivation to "free all her children from the chokehold of TITAN". (we don't yet know who she considers her children, as we haven't seen signs of any living Voracians yet, but maybe she's aware of some that still exist under horrible conditions, hidden away from view)

Erios also mentioned that nobody likes the prismonarch, so it's possible the common folk still remember what happened and there is still a cultural bitterness about how their leader basically handed over the rights to their planet so Erios could protect their own life of luxury and symbolic status under TITAN's rule.

I'm sure we'll find out more hints soon, I might be completely wrong, but that's my current read on the situation, based on the drip feed of hints so far.
