March tag time!
the beginning of a beautiful friendship tbh
Did some tagging around on the PWM meme, gonna do some more after work
Visas > Mel "this The Force sounds dangerous" "oh yeah it can COMPLETELY fuck you up"
Ethlyn > Shigeru it's not unethical to call Silco out if she doesn't use his name
yes I know the dates on these shhhh
points to that plurk about how there's a flamethrower pointed at me and all my colleagues now IM TRYIN
Ethlyn > Mel she's addicted to text smilies now help
Paine > Shaw rukafais talkin about your lad
awww, thanks for worrying about his alarming amiability towards being modified paine (he sure wont)
TRY WORRYING ABOUT IT CUSTODIAN PLEASE
ITS FINEEEE ITS NORMAL
FREE WILL IS ALSO NORMAL
WELL SOMETIMES YOU GIVE AN AI FREE WILL AND IT DECIDES TO MAKE A ROBOT UPRISING TO SAVE ITS CREATORS FROM THEIR OWN AMBITION and that is why he's the second iteration and not the first one
flksdj LMAO
"
you people are going to wreck everything IM IN CHARGE NOW"
Paine > Romano THICKENING PLOT
LITERALLY THATS WHAT HAPPENED the first custodian identified the upper houses as a threat to the wellbeing of the entire species and especially the lower castes and was like /racks shotgun SHAME
that's hilarious :') real "why are you booing, I'm right" energy
Dryzyr: Save our civilization
AI 1: I have identified class stratification as a major problem
Dryzyr: No not like that
AI 1: I have identified class stratification as a major problem
Dryzyr: No not like that
YEAH HDGDG
Ethlyn > Claude she's gaining even more respect for claude now that she sees EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS FIGHTING in his homeland....
Fire Emblem Three Houses - The Gautier Inheritance: ...ty for sharing this link Fey
I really like how 3H built on and expanded the implications that were in the Holy Blood system in Genealogy (where Ethlyn's from)
With exploring just how fucked up it makes families when you're waiting for someone to inherit The Family Power and if you're the eldest and DON'T get it etc
as well as "ok so you have the special bloodline weapons. in FE4 you just Can't wield them without the special blood but it's basically just a matter of game mechanics"
"what if we made it so that you really, REALLY couldn't."
"make sure you don't. : ) it's a bad idea."
Crest Weapons: Not Even Once
Visas > Spock non humans hanging out time!
Ethlyn & Claude and game oldbies hanging out time!
Typing up my TL for Ethlyn and saying "this is why you're dead" as words come out....
"
And even if it did little harm to the beast itself, Ethlyn was sure that her ordinary sword could at least block its attacks if it dove for someone."
ethlyn no???
IT'S FINE IT'LL WORK
sometimes I worry that I'm asking things that have already been extensively covered in other threads but when there's almost 500 comments IT'S PROBABLY INEVITABLE
OKAY lookin at Expivent now... tags will probably come after work bc I'm heading to campus in a minute but I'm just earmarking which TLs I wanna hit up
I also still have to write up Visas' RIP
Ethlyn > Zekarion LATE TAG IN apologies and thank for patience....
Ethlyn > Shigeru learning new things about her employees all the time
oh psst, he doesn't share his first name with anybody, he just calls himself altius
but yes no worries i am glad to get tags anytime c:
OH gotcha! I shall edit
the horse is OUTTA HERE
also the way Fandaniel (and people in XIV generally) think about life the universe and everything is really interesting bc like
They're coming at it from people who are like. Kind of at Renaissance level understanding of the universe of "ohhhh WE go around the sun"
(not that exactly ofc but that kind of level)
Where they know there's Stuff out there but their understanding of the universe is nascent
And then just when they're going "wow this planet has RINGS" someone tells them "sure does ALSO ALL STARS DIE AND ONE DAY EVERY ATOM WILL BE SO DISTANT FROM ITS FELLOWS THAT THERE WILL BE NO LIGHT AND HEAT"
in real life, those discoveries took several more CENTURIES to get to (and also nobody's immortal lmao) so like, not everyone is even kept up by this at 3 AM
we're just kind of used to the idea that the universe will end bc it's on a pile of other things
And so Visas didn't even really acknowledge his point of "most of the lights you see in the sky are gravestones of dead stars" because she, being from space already, is just like
"yeah I knew that one"
Chidi Sees The Time Knifethis energy
OKAY I'm gonna stop being self-conscious and open up some event toplevels to chuck Paine into tomorrow
Ethlyn > Ange SORRY ANGE YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE SMART FRIENDS
okay I was going to try and do all ethlyn tags but I am too sleepy after lunch so I will nap and then finish them
...oh. you know what would be cool for Paine to have (apropos of nothing LOL)
a sphere recording apparatus
She'd keep pen-and-paper records too but I think making sphere recordings (ones that she could keep independent of the provided devices) would be satisfying for her
Paine > Gaia so yeah she thoroughly approves of Gaia journaling
oops i didn't mean to hit the replurk button, i was just trying to open the plurk LMFAO sorry
LOL it's okay who among us has not replurked a plurk by mistake :'D
wisdombitch idk if I will complete this tag tonight but just know that paine's reaction to riz going "I am the only guy my size" is incredulity
HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE WEIRD LIL GUY IN ETRAYA
LMAO
LISTEN HE HASN'T
SEEN ANY OTHERS AROUND OKAY!!!!
FUCKED UP TBH!!!
she hasn't been here long enough to fully understand how few people are goggle-eyed blue amphibian bartenders or giant lion people or weird short people who wear duck masks for No Reason At All
doreen tl to tag into at lunch
Paine > Doreen lunchtime, almost midnight, close enough
Ethlyn > Kurama she just doesn't believe anyone who says "I'm fine"
note 2 self do checkin tonight / tomorrow
OK CHECKED IN
getting off on the right foot here
this CR is going to be so wildly opposite from her and Visas lmao
LMAOOO IT IS
space pixie yelling at her BE NICE
meanwhile visas would be "no his mind is broken you're probably okay to just shoot him"
Kes > Kirk THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING
Kes being not technically Starfleet is going to make her relationship to timeline pollution interesting
Like she's been peripherally involved with 20th century stuff thanks to Ed Begley Jr. and other things
But the Voyager and its crew have not quite reached the point of "temporal what directive" while Kes is still on the show LMAO
Kes > Root THINGS ARE GOING WELL
"fuck I'm going to get mugged"
