the scene where Wuvvy rips up the letter Rue wrote to Hob after the masquerade is actually super interesting to me because it feels like another moment that really highlights the difference in how Rue and Hob approach their courts -- both of them do feel a sense of alienation from these places and people, but it's also Starkly obvious that Rue is far more isolated in that than Hob is.

Hob and the other goblins stand at a distance from each other in how much they understand one another, but Hob also still clearly has people in his court that he trusts and depends on even in just minor ways, but this scene in particular really makes it feel like Rue only knows the people in their court to invite them to the Bloom. Even if they thought to hesitate before sending that letter with Wuvvy, it doesn't matter bc they truly don't have anyone else to ask.

#N posts stuff #like after the Duel in the Southern Garden it feels like a given that Wuvvy and Hob should not be interfacing with each other lol #but Rue still gives Wuvvy that letter to deliver it to Hob bc. who else is there to ask? #whereas Hob - even if it's just because he's their military commander - has a myriad of salt goblins that he Trusts #and we know he trusts them bc he sends Them to negotiate those clandestine meetings with Binx #and even if it's a one-off line from Brennan; apparently has a whole Lineage of them that Hob is particularly close to #even though Boil and Blemish are often subtly cruel to Hob he does have several other scenes with other goblins he seems to mostly get #along with - even during the Hedge Maze he seems kind of affable with Grabalba and the others #whereas we really ONLY ever see Rue interact with Wuvvy; and that kind of Serious distance also ties into the very First episode #when Rue doesn't recognize Gwendolyn; bc Gwen didn't get her own invite - Binx stole her sister's. so rue doesn't know her #not to make these tags even longer but it's ALSO interesting to me how those goblins Hob is closest to ARE all salt goblins in particular #(yes it's Probably just bc the joke and affection for them kicked off in ep 1 BUT it is canon and so i will analyze it as such) #given that their size (& life spans probably) would Probably make them sort of The Lowest on the rung in terms of like. classes #seen as somewhat 'disposable' and so it's Neat to think of how those folk are who Hob seems to get along with the best #the single largest goblin and the smallest populace of them united in how they're viewed primarily as Tools by everyone else #d20lb

My specific approach to rewriting a piece of media is always going to be to trim the fat and simplify things as much as possible, and then take those simplified concepts and develop the absolute hell out of them. If that makes sense. Like okay I’m going to cut all the monster baddies in spn and just keep the demons, but then I am going to spend hours upon hours worldbuilding an entire demon culture and society and develop the inner workings of the kingdom of hell and all the specific roles of the king’s court and figure out how demons WORK and why/how they are created and how they tend to behave and what it feels like to be one and the concrete powers they have access to. I can do this because I don’t have like a dozen other monsters drawing on my creativity and attention and the story/world is cleaner, deeper, and more concise for it. At least that’s my philosophy anyway

#The writing I post on here is intentionally kept very canon adjacent (or as canon adjacent as I can stand to be) for accessibility purposes #But I can’t wait to start sharing things from my lore redux document. I think there’s some neat stuff in there #I have narrowed the show right down to demons + angels + demon-hunters + witches and like nothing outside of those “cultures” #Well other than like normal human cultures of course lol I meant just in terms of the supernatural stuff #There are ghosts too since those don’t require too much as far as additional worldbuilding goes. Ghosts are ghosts #And those can be taken care of either by a paranormal investigator or by a particularly savvy demon-hunter #Psychics have been incorporated into witches. Any MOL ridiculousness I’ve just reduced into a demonologist society #The horsemen are all demons save for Death who is an very ancient eldritch angel with unique powers #Reapers are very fucked up wisps of stray grace under Death’s command and you could maybe call them angels if you squinted but #they’re more like something that USED to be an angel and now definitely isn’t (I’ve been thinking maybe dead angels actually become these?) #And idk maybe this is boring but I’d rather focus on making a few things really interesting and deep than trying to stretch myself thin #over trying to account for 15 years of absolute rubbish from canon #My posts #If you’re wondering about my approach to prominent characters who are monsters…. I either don’t care about the character enough #or I revise them into a demon or witch. Whatever works out better #So like Mia VaIIens for instance. Right now I have her as a human witch who is an absolute master at spells that entail mimicry #I.e. making herself look like someone else in a certain person’s perception or augmenting her voice #And it accomplishes more or less the same effect as shifter Mia can in canon #It works for me at least #Characters like Benny and Garth I don’t personally care much about (sorry Benny and Garth fans) so I’ve just kind of left them out atm

multiclassing and getting feats is so epic. druid bard with battle master maneuvers and metamagic. thats epic and i need kul to have them

#1 level druid 3 levels college of lore bard intending to stay with bard #metamagic would help my spells and battle master maneuvers would lean into the 'commanding first mate' ideal for them #looking commanders strike and rally or bait and switch #kul isnt a melee fighter so the melee attack maneuvours arent useful but those ones seem very neat and useful #i have to think more on the metamagic one i dont know which kul would go for yet

[salamander-crimes]

a while ago I came up with a concept for a reverse splatoon of sorts, where in the hero mode instead of playing as an inkling agent retrieving the missing zapfish, you were an octoling soldier tasked with stealing them from inkopolis. the only characters I came up with outside of the player were your commanding officer, an elite octoling who would guide you through your missions, and a salmonid weapons/tech expert a la sheldon, the idea being that since the octarians and salmonids had an alliance, it would be neat to have a salmonid as a character. for the multiplayer side of things, all I had was the idea that you could customize your weapons with stickers and charms and such through the same salmonid

#splatoon #i totally forgot about this for a while until i found the old sketches of the commanding officer #i kinda want to start developing the concept again tbh its neat #i think i wanted the singleplayer gameplay to be more stealth based #like the escape sequence in oe #i also thought about having boss battles against the new squidbeak agents but i dont think i got very far with that idea

Adrian and Jack? 👀

OH THAT'D BE.

That has a Potential but boy it'd get. Rough. Because there's enough of a mutual 'the fuck's a future' that it could happen, but Adrian's got just enough sense that she'd pull back last minute because Jack needs hope & stability in her life and dear god, Adrian is not the sort of person who can offer that :(

What are the odds that Zephia knows Alear?

Like, before/during the war a thousand years in the past?

Just based off her design alone, it seems like she's going to be a manakete/dragon. Wether she's a divine dragon as well or just a regular dragon doesn't really matter atm, what does matter is that it's very likely that Zephia IS a dragon. (I think it's more likely that Zephia's a regular dragon, mainly because if she was a divine dragon as well then my 'Sombron took the kids' joke will be less of a joke and more an actual theory)

As we know, dragons live for a VERY long time. They also age very slowly as a result. So it's likely that Zephia joined in the first war all those years ago. And if that's the case then the odds that Zephia and Alear met at least once back then is extremely high. Maybe she faced Alear in battle once or twice, maybe when they turned evil (if the clip at the end of the trailer really was a flashback) she might have fought alongside them for a while before they got put into that thousand year sleep.

If she was present back then as well, I can imagine Zephia using her knowledge of Alear's past to her advantage. Either to attempt to manipulate, intimidate or guilt them. Who knows, she might even reveal an important detail or two.

#fire emblem engage #fe engage #fire Emblem Zephia #Honestly #I think Zephia has the potential to be a very interesting character #mainly depends on how INSTYS handles her tho so won't get my hopes up #highly doubt she'll be recruitable tho even if I like her design and we know that at least one hound will be playable #honestly I think all hounds will be recruitable with the exception of her #or maybe they'll all be available somehow #it would be a weird but neat twist to the classic 4 big commanders trope if you could recruit them

[a-lil-perspective]

Just had a random little thought but ummm like imagine if i’m your universe, Crosshair did stay with the Empire… he still met Dee and everything but he’s wItH tHe EmPiRe????? WHAT WOULD CHANGE!!!!! I MUST KNOW!!!!

Hmm… let me think on that and I will get back to you.

#that is a very good question #and one I do not currently have an answer for #hOWever #I think not much would change as far as their dynamics #I think with her military background and specialty she would probably be employed under Crosshair’s command and be part of his squad #and that’s where their relationship would evolve #there’s a shared camaraderie there almost right off the bat #they recognize each other as equals and that is the foundation of their relationship regardless of context #and I think that’s neat #of course the pregnancy would change things greatly #and there would definitely be more urgency and desperation and discourse #her trying to get through to crosshair to leave with her #and if he’s under influence of the chip… #well… that would make things much more difficult. #n e ways #too much angst #crossverse #crosshair #clone trooper crosshair #tbb crosshair #commander crosshair #imperial!crosshair #crosshair x heartfire #crosshair x delana #sydmjolnir #you ask the best questions I love you #it’s a lil thing

You know what scene I have stuck in my head....

Post minotaur death battle, and King has managed to revive Atumu enough, and Atumu has managed to subdue his Master to stop his bleeding.

Atumu's hand is firmly on King's neck and he has King on the bed that he was just on. It's kind of calm and tense at the same time. Then Atumu notices his vision going blurry from the blood loss and he has to instruct King on how to readjust his bandages tight enough that he doesn't bleed out.

Cuz he needs to remain conscious to maintain pressure on King's arterial bleeding, so he can't let go of King's neck. And he knows he can't manoeuver around well enough to retie the bandages tight enough that he won't pass out. So he calmly and coolly instructs King on how to bandage his gut.

I'm just THINKIN ABOUT THAT

#kingtumu #i wanted to write out the scebe #scene #so this is just the context #without the context even #it's a really simultaneously tense and calm scene #and a very rare moment when Atumu is in control #and telling King what to do #idk i just think it's neat when dynamics shift like that #it's rare for the slave to command the Master #but also it's for King's own good #cuz Atumu knows he can only trust himself to maintain enough pressure on King's neck #in this instance he trusts himself more than he trusts King lol #esp bc King was the one who cut his own neck #at least Atumu knows he wont let King die as long as Atumu stays conscious #so Atumu has to make sure he stays conscious #AHHHHH I HAVE FEELINGS

Society if Aqua got a more fully fleshed out moveset in kh3...

#spellweaver was cool but it has similar problems to BBS combat #somewhat mitigated by the fact that Aqua is herself a floaty mage type #but it makes combat in spellweaver kind of annoying at times. #I was mostly thinking “spellweaver should come with magic damage bonuses etc.” #ghost drive always sucked #Aqua may have been the worst character to play as in BBS. Or at least. She didn't get good personal. What were they called? #Command styles? Drive Forms? Whatever she didn't get enough personal ones to show off her personal style #spellweaver was always leagues above Terra and Ven's starter command styles though. I wish you could turn the elemental ones off #Looking at the mirage staff and thinking “Aqua deserves this”. It's really cool #games don't go all out with magic staffs often and let them be as flashy as swords or something so I'm really happy with it. #the regular combos the shotlock and the dodge clones shooting magic thing. All very neat.

Did someone say COMPLETE DATA ANALYSIS OF ALL THE DEATHS IN THE LIFE SERIES? No? Well. I did it. Here are some neat graphs for you guys to look at so that you don’t have to deal with the gigantic spreadsheet I did!

Let’s start off with the big bad question: what gets people killed in this game, anyway?

Note that a CAUSE OF DEATH is not the same as a KILL. Cause of death is what pops up in the chat when someone dies (ex. PearlescentMoon was slain by Smallishbeans, BdoubleO100 fell from a high place). The cause of death does not always account for player responsibility (ex. TNT traps). Generally, a player is only considered to be someone’s cause of death if the death occurs through direct PvP combat. HOWEVER, responsibility for an indirect kill such as a trap still goes toward a player’s total kill count—for example, Joel has 14 kills overall, 10 of which are direct enough for him to be considered the actual cause of death. After all, axes don’t kill people without being swung by someone.

A few other whacky things about kill counts:

Self-inflicted deaths do not count toward a player’s kill count (ex. Grian doesn’t get a kill for jumping off Monopoly Mountain at the end of 3rd Life, Scott doesn’t get a kill for blowing himself up at the end of Double Life).

When it comes to Double Life, soulmates are considered to share their three lives. No distinction is made between Soulmate A's life and Soulmate B's life, and each death only counts as one kill (ex. Joel gets one kill for killing Scott with fireworks, even though that also killed Pearl (however, Pearl’s cause of death is still Joel, as her life is considered the same as Scott’s)).

Using the /kill command does not count toward your kill count. Grian.

With that cleared up, let’s look at kill counts.

By the skin of his teeth, Grian leads the pack in total kills. The top three you see on that graph are the only players who have a KDR (kill-to-death ratio) of more than 1—for you folks who are unfamiliar with those, a KDR of more than 1 means you kill other people more often than you die. Less than 1 means you die more often than you kill other people. Here are the highest and lowest KDRs in the series:

“What’s this?” I hear you say. “Jimmy Wet-Paper-Bag-of-a-Man Solidarity DOESN’T have the lowest KDR in the series?”

No. No, he does not, and it’s actually really funny you should ask.

Because of Last Life’s mechanic of life transferring, even players that have been in all three installments of the Life Series don’t have the same death count. Eight players died more than three times in Last Life. Another eight died exactly three times. And one player only died twice.

By virtue of starting on yellow and never receiving any extra lives in Last Life, Jimmy holds the record for fewest deaths in an installment of the Life Series with just two deaths in Last Life. He is the only player to ever die less than three times in a game. This means that although he has just one kill, he has fewer total deaths than BigB (who has died a very standard nine times), the only other player with one kill, so his KDR is higher. Congrats, Jimmy, you’re not last in everything. But you are still the only player without a PvP kill.

Speaking of PvP, it’s time to look at how people do that! Here’s a graph of the top five weapons that tend to land PvP kills the most in the series:

And now here’s weapon preferences by game:

[Double Life not depicted due to lack of PvP deaths—only 4 occurred, using a diamond axe, a diamond sword, fireworks, and an iron axe respectively.]

Despite 19 more deaths occurring in Last Life than 3rd Life, the two actually have the exact same amount of PvP kills (28). It’s interesting to note the strong preference for bows in 3rd Life, which was a much more warlike game and had several fairly formal battles where people fought from a distance. Last Life required an overall sneakier strategy, resulting in a higher use of traps. In combat, non-ranged weapons like swords and axes were generally preferred due to fights often starting in close proximity and without warning, courtesy of the Boogeyman curse. Comparatively, Double Life saw remarkably few PvP kills, likely due to each person being twice as accident-prone by virtue of being linked to another player—in fact, with a total of 12, accidents accounted for three times as many deaths as PvP in Double Life and overall for more than half (57%) of the deaths in the game.

As for individual player stats sheets, here’s an example of one of those:

If you want to see one of those for ALL 17 PLAYERS, you can go to this slideshow! More details about the stats can be found in the presentation notes of each slide. And, if you have a really specific question and want to get into the nitty gritty, feel free to send me an ask! Hope you guys enjoyed the data!
