The personas you have equipped should impact the dialogue choices you have

(Note: I have experience with p5, and somewhat p4, none of the others)

But I just think it would be neat if personas actually.... had an impact on social links, on the protagonist's personality. The name of the series is Persona, and while they are clearly a centrally important part of the games, it feels like there's a divide that keeps them relegated mostly to gameplay mechanic

They are described as facets of the self, as aspects of personality given form. So if the protagonist has certain persona, it would make sense for them to alter the dialogue options

Mostly I see this being feasible with social links. The persona of the matching arcana unlocks a bonus dialogue option that can give the high +++ points for ranking those up.

It shows that aspect of the self resonating with the person you're talking with more, by providing an answer you wouldn't otherwise give, because that's not a part of you at the time.

It would add DEPTH!!

another day another 2 hour despair sesh on the phone with my mum about Palestine

#red said #apparently the British Society of Friends won't allow an epistle that mentions 'the war in Gaza' in case it upsets 'the Jewish community' #literally MENTIONING THAT THERE IS A WAR #bc mum and the rest of the meeting agreed to remove reference to it starting on October 7th WHICH IT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT there are concerns #about Appearing Antisemitic. by MENTIONING THAT IT'S HAPPENING WITHOUT BLAMING KHAMAS #the justification. apparently. is that we're already on thin ice with The Jewish Community because of Quaker activities in Palestine #which have been largely to do with challenging apartheid and trying to help broker peace processes #so me and mum are both like. ok so are we pro Palestine or pro genocide as an organisation? #because if we think Genocide Is Bad then we should not be afraid to say We Think Genocide Is Bad #and we can also say We Think Antisemitism Is Bad because SHOCK FUCKING HORROR not all Jews represent the State of Israel #in fact basically none of them do #anyway whatever the fuck happened to plain speaking i wanna know #when in history have the faction of Quakers who wanted to never upset anyone been the drivers of change? #wasn't the Quakers going 'obviously we are anti slavery but we shouldn't SAY that in case we upset White People' who we remember positively #they're also changing dates on a lecture Corbyn was due to give in order to avoid accusations of antisemitism #to which i have GOT to ask. 5 months into a genocide and we're STILL giving credence to the idea that criticising Israel is antisemitism? #i will scream until my lungs pop

ugh

saw a post with a quote that basically tidily summed up the rebuttal i'd half-started drafting to someone's post about how homosociality in tolkien ~queers amatonormativity~ [spoiler: on the contrary, male homosociality has been engaged in a three-way handshake with both misogynist heterosexuality and amatonormativity for literal millennia, and far from undermining them, more typically serves as essential reinforcement], so i was like, great, now i don't have to actually write that essay, i can just reblog this instead and tag it #tolkien! :)

but then, like a conscientious idiot, i went and dutifully looked up the book it was from, because i think it's irresponsible to cite excerpts whose context you aren't familiar with; and very predictably it turned out to be by a r*dfem and to make all sorts of claims abt so-called 'phallocratic culture' that i dislike, both as a trans person and ally myself and also as a logical thinker who can tell perfectly well from, you know, lived experience of our society that having a penis doesn't in fact confer ready social acceptance, never mind dominance, on people who don't otherwise look or act the part of a Proper Man, because ultimately what we reflexively defer to is a particular vibe, produced by a combination of physique and affect and other things besides, which may imply the presence of a penis but neither actually reveals nor necessitates one…

so like. ugh. probably i'm gonna have to write my own essay after all. :/

#i don't know much about marilyn frye and it doesn't look from a quick google as though she's on par with some of the really nasty t*rfs #but like. you don't have to be vitriolic to still be fundamentally approaching the world in a cissexist way #that gives too much credence to ideas abt Men and Women even as it resents them #like in this essay she comes out with shit like #'women generally have good experiential reason to associate negative values and feelings with penises' #and like. i don't identify as a woman but presumably a r*dfem would class me as a ''''female person'''' so like. #speaking from that classification—can't relate!! #(i mean‚ dgmw‚ i don't want to be dismissive of experiences that were forced‚ or coercive‚ or consensual but painful‚ or or or) #(and it's not that i haven't myself had experiences where people were bad about consent with me) #(but personally i would say i associate negative values and feelings with those *people* and their *behavior‚* not with Penises per se.) #and maybe it's just like. that i'm speaking after literally 50 years of gender progress #like frye does in fact concede that a reframed relationship to penises would be an improvement #(''if penises were enjoyed a good deal more and worshipped a great deal less‚ everyone's understanding of… power and of love would change #beyond recognition and much for the better'') #so maybe it's just like. hi that's me! i'm there! enjoying them! :) #but i just feel like. i don't need to be drawing from a well that takes cisheteronormative constructs this much for granted #and thinks the way to escape them is separatism #as if the knife that cuts Women away from Men weren't cutting some of us in half‚ not 2 mention being itself a cisheteronormative construct #but like. the decontextualized quote really was tempting… :/ #anyway. some people vent about normal things; i vent about shit like this‚ i guess!

i am looking at your comparisons of watchers to a bunch of prey animals and wondering: what eats watchers? they're clearly also hyperspecialized, like those skimmer birds with a ridiculous feeding strategy, so they're clearly a case of evolution speccing them into an absurd "life does whatever it can get away with" kind of ridiculous build, but the prey animal comparisons IN PARTICULAR have me thinking a bunch of things eat them

They absolutely are hyperspecialized, and i do think there once was something that ate Watchers pretty regularly-- although im still working on what exactly that was. i have a few ideas im churning over right now that i want to percolate on before i fully commit. What i do know, however, is that they're pretty much fully extinct now-- whatever they were, the Watchers figured out how to change themselves enough to avoid them, and more or less starved them out. One or two may still linger... but they're incredibly rare. And of course, Players themselves are both prey and threat to Watchers-- enough Players in a group could easily kill them bc of how fragile their code is, so its necessary to stay hidden, secret, and safe at all times.

As a sidenote, evolution in this universe is a bit different than how we might understand it. I think evolution in hunger au has something to do with manipulating your deep code, your source code-- the intrinsic stuff thats buried far below the code that dictates what you look like. The general impression i have right now is that Watchers learned how to change some of that deep code (at a great expense, this is NOT easy) to avoid their predators, and this unlocked their ability to See using the Greater Code-- but this isnt set in stone just yet, so take that with a grain of salt until i can get all this stuff finalized LOL

#shouting speaks #evo watchers #hunger au #hermitcraft #worldbuilding #asks #tbh i also just find the idea that watchers have very prey animal behaviors FASCINATING #bc generally i see them being shown as far more powerful and scary than players in most interpretations (which i do love too) #so the idea that while they prey on players they are also very vulnerable as a species is SO COOL to me #and kinda gives credence to the idea of them being very secretive and flighty #very few players know about them and that is 100% by design #but yeah as for their predators..... ive been turning the phrase ''code swallowers'' in my head lately #but the ideas im having do bring their own complications #so im working those out rn before fully committing to anything :] #txt

anybody else like. dislike the concept of putting the ways youre privileged in your bio in general

#was considering following someone and their bio said 'white american living on indigenous land complicit in genocide' #and its like. dude #that feels like youre just putting a big big flag that says 'LOOK AT ME IM A GOOD WHITE PERSON WHO KNOWS MY PLACE' like #i feel like if youre actually ~one of the good ones~ that should just like. be evident in how you conduct yourself no? #like i dont wanna lend credence to the idea of virtue signalling but. i mean thats literally what that is jabdksbd #thinking abt how every discourse major and minor ive been through has hit some for of 'you MUST put your axis of privilege #in your bio so (oppressed group) can quickly tell if youre speaking over them' and 100% of the time it actually meant #'so (oppressed group) can quickly tell if they can talk over you' #see again that one bnha server that melted down and the ppl who caused the issues were demanding to know everyones ethnicity #and then would aggressively shout at anyone who said white that they werent allowed to talk literally at all #and its like. no youre just using that as an excuse to force people to let you yell at them hello?? #insert something here about that post going around saying 'you must have tma or tme in your bio' #like wow yeah no thank you if you want to yell at me you can do so based on the things i say:) #origibberish

What if I proposed the analysis that Belos actually has very little internal moral compass and that his veneer of righteousness has always been implied by the writers to be complete fabricated bullshit even before watching and dreaming basically confirms it.

#ramblings of a lunatic #^shes going in drafts untagged bc a) philip stans who insist on the morally misguided angle terrify me in their persistence #and b) i would have to actually rewatch episodes and whatnot #but i think i can build credence to the idea that him and caleb started off not invested in witch hunting for moral righteousness #but numb to it via cultural normalisation and THUS. had an amoral approach to the whole thing #and the only thing either of them as orphan outsiders ever really would've gained from witch hunting would've been careers and recognition #a sense that they're heroes- not in the moral sense but in the narrative sense. that they were protagonists #The Most Important Boys so to speak #the difference being Caleb at some point decided witch hunting was wrong (i.e like hunter did. grew a moral compass) #and philip still navigated the world amorally 400 years later only motivated by a petty grudge and deep buried guilt #the latter of which is nearly irrelevant to anyone who isn't philip bc clearly he priorities that grudge above it #this is just a personal petty opinion #but i honestly don't think the 'delusional and petty' angle is any less complex than the 'moral crusader' angle w/ his character #and it matches the whole 'hes a magic conservative' message way better than his motives being genuine #one day I'll rewatch that scene in WaD and see if Philip fans are onto something and I've been drinking the pond water #or if it's actually congruent with his character like I've since come to see it and like i know many saw it the first time round #anyway this is actually all for me. in drafts you go #edit: hi. it's the ladel of like. 3 weeks after i made this and put it in drafts. it's nearly 1 am rn and- in my delirium- #i have decided to publish it #i doubt it'll do much w/ regards to response bc fandom has been on the quiet side lately (tho that can always change( #plus I made a similar post insinuating the same notion and it got ZERO traction positive or negative #which tells me I'm good to just say shit for the most part (in a good natured way) #anyway. hits post cutely (i am so fucking tired)

(rev spoilers)

i am at that point in the royals-only!insane rev run where the Fun starts, aka scarlet is. well.

and ironically i think it's easy to forget that anankos/(gunter) aims first at corrin with the fireball, wounding her -

(this shot)-

-and then again a second time, before scarlet throws herself in between.

like.....

okay, one - corrin's probably got at minimum some burn wounds. what the fuck does he feel about that. he appears immediately next to her after, he definitely sees them.

two - he almost succeeded in straight up killing her. what. the fuck does gunter feel about that (regardless if they're a pair or not). he's gotta know about it. jury's out on whether he's "in control" at the exact moment (considering base gunter has 0 magical ability, so anankos is influencing to some degree there).

here's the thing to the last part: a later possession scene shows that he's still got the ability to talk "as" himself and throw fireballs so fates doesn't even let us have the easy way out of weakly saying "eh anankos was fully in the driver's seat" and pinning the blame on anankos.

ahaha no that was at least some bit of gunter that willfully aimed two killing shots at corrin.

god i love rev for a possession story that goes so fucking hard.

#oh trivia fact about this scene that leigh knows: i 100% based the special art of my recent FEH collab with them off of that first shot. :') #(also can't get over the peak gunterleigh colors there >:3 ) #imo i feel like this lends more credence to my 'there are some MAJOR whack ass dubcon vibes in that wakeup scene' theory #i suppose the absolute best case scenario you could say he was fighting anankos the whole time. but. i feel like you would “see” more hints #of that fighting / attempting to warn corrin if he was strictly speaking. fighting anankos the whole time to that degree. #[bites on nails with the biggest grin] fuuuuck i love this game

ok i've been called a sex freak tranny too i get where you're coming from but like also please be more careful with extremely vague posts about Problematic Kinks

no. people's openness about what two consenting adults can do in private has no bearing on how likely they are to be child abusers or close ranks about child abusers & thinking there is some correlation is a sign that your stance on sexual abuse is mediated more by disgust reaction and aesthetic associations than by structural analysis. there is a pretty hard and obvious line between not condemming consensual sex acts between adults and being a pedophile and thinking that it's some sort of spectrum or slippery slope there imo speaks poorly to your conceptualization of why SA is a bad thing.

people love to say that X or Y kink Normalizes Abuse, but, like, actually think about communities where sexual abuse is 'normalized' in society. is the problem with the catholic church that it's too pro-kink? is the problem with US professional gymnastics that it's too pro-kink? is the problem with the amish that they're too pro-kink? was the problem with the british entertainment industry in the 1970s that it was too pro-kink? is the problem with the prison system that it's too pro-kink? &c. &c. &c.

sexual abuse doesn't happen because people are degenerate perverts and everyone is too accepting of that, sexual abuse happens because society is full of institutions that give adults structural power over children and men structural power over women. giving credence to the former, even in the form of thinking you have to be "super careful" about perverts, is a straightforwardly reactionary position.

I had a dream I went to a new Cafe and unknowingly it was kind of magical. I finally went to order (because apparently anti-social/anixety still lingers in dream me) and they literally dumped sugar into some coffee. I was hella confused because I was panicking all for them to do that but then this white-like cloud of a cat appeared and kind of floated around the room playfully before going into the coffee cup and that's when I realized it was the cream for the coffee.

You bet your ass I am thinking of an AU for Credence to have his own little place in Hogsmeade. Magical cafe of sorts.

No one will remember but Naomi (half-kneazle that acts like a service animal) would definitely be there.

#mun speaks #ohhh Naomi 🥹 #been years since I thought of her but ahhh #Credence arguing with a phoenix and kneazle to get a long

Anyways if you're Palestinian and need to see other Palestinians speaking to feel sane again, I recommend checking out thepalestinedirectory.carrd.co for a directory of free to access links for and about Palestine by Palestinians — a couple of friends of mine started it and I would really appreciate it if you could share Palestinian led sources when discussing Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Please stop sharing zionist propaganda and lending them credence by amplifying their words.

Quick fun fact I learned in ASL class:

Babies can begin signing as early as a few months old. You don’t have to wait until they’re 9-12 months to start communicating verbally; the parts of the brain that process and use language develop before a baby is able to speak intelligibly with their mouth. Teaching your kid sign language early means that they can communicate effectively months ahead of schedule, when compared to peers that only speak a spoken language.

Additional fun fact: this jumpstart in language is thought to be a possible way to avoid the “Terrible Twos”; that phase of a toddler’s life is thought to be largely due to a toddler being unable to effectively communicate their needs. If a two year old has already been speaking for a year and a half, they’re far more able to communicate to you what’s wrong. Heck, they might also start reading earlier; languages with a fingerspelling component, like ASL, mean that any speaker needs to be able to spell unfamiliar words and ask about them. This can jumpstart a toddler’s ability to recognize letters as components of a word, and teach them to spell, read, and eventually write these letters to communicate.

Which, of course, lends absolutely zero credence to the theory that ASL will inherently stunt someone’s spoken language skills. If anything, sign language fluency makes acquiring any language, spoken or not, easier rather than harder.
