The Hierophant

The Hierophant — Who is a fellow game designer you��ve learned a lot from? OR What is a piece of popular wisdom about games you think is nonsense?

i genuinely hate most popular wisdom about game design, but the biggest one i'll get on a soapbox about and discuss is when people say "ttrpgs are for collaborative storytelling" which to me is very limiting and not actually helpful for understanding how or why people engage with ttrpgs

because if a ttrpg's only point is to tell a story collaboratively, then most ttrpgs (even very good ttrpgs) are very bad story-generation mechanisms, and also i just simply dont play ttrpgs to tell a story with friends, that's just one possible motivation someone might have for entering into a game.

wanderhome in particular talks about this by claiming its explicitly NOT about telling a story, and to set aside storytelling desires for afterwards

[jei-rifni]

the first time Kakyoin sees Crazy Diamond he's like "that dude kinda looks like The World. I don't like him."

He’s just a big hater

[tipsynilly]

Some love for Hierophant :D

jolyne..... but LITTLE

[vikcacao]

Dude you gotta stop giving me such good answers because my brain chews them up and starts BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS sob

Also my bad for not sending these earlier I have had them ready since like Monday but…. School😔

Kakabfkskxbxhdh okay okay ALBINO GOJO!? THATS SO COOL!!!! How does his albinism affect him? Like does he have trouble seeing? Or like regulating his body temperature? Do Arctic mermaids have more fatty tissue to fend off the cold, like seals do?

YOUR RELIGION STUFF IS SO INSANE!! I love that you thought sm about it. Do mermaids have creation myths? Do mermaid myths vary region to region? Do epics and songs exist about figures in their mythology/religion? This might sound a little insane but do story archetypes exist in mermaid culture? Actually, how big is oral story telling in their cultures ( assuming they don’t have a written language)?

If a juvenile mermaid is orphaned, do other pod members take in the orphans? Are orphans viewed positively or negatively? If an entire pod died besides a juvenile, would another unrelated pod take them in? (Kinda morbid but I wanna know everything lol)

The fact that mermaids view planes as a variant of birds is so funny to me, like “oh, there goes the southwest bird, how majestic.” (Since planes sometimes crash do they just think some birds are rolling around with legendary loot? And do they prey on waterfowl?) I feel like it’s not that hard to sneak up on them.

TIGER SHARK YUUJI!!!!! I lowkey forgot he exists but do you have a ref sheet for him? I would very much like to draw him :]

Does Megumi have any piercings? Do mermaids have a third eyelid? What do mermaid maps/calendars look like? Do they follow a different month schedule than humans? (How do they count years, now that I think of it?) Do they have events that surround the eclipse or blood moons? I’m going feral about those mermaids and the moon things sorryyyy

Anyway I think that’s all I have rn !!! Thank youuuu :33 (ps, I have a piano lesson Wednesday wish me luck lmfaooo cause I may be slightly slacking on my practice)

ahhhhhhhh yayyyyyy lol

this is gonna take me a hot second to answer, sorry if this takes like a day lmao. each sorta segment is gonna be numbered bc i'm lazy <3

1 ----------

Gojo is albino, and yeah it affects his vision and his skin. That's why he hangs out (and married) deep sea mermaids, since they live in darker parts of water they don't rely so much on sight, and the sun is less intense.

artic mermaids commonly are much bigger and have shorter tails than other races of mermaids. Gojo is around double the size of Megumi, but in terms of length they're actually around the same. Bigger bodies means more tissue, and my little doodle of Gojo made him pretty thick, too lol.

the bigger bodies thing is inspired from the fact (?) that large marine animals live in the Antarctic. I learned this a while ago, so take it with a grain of salt on how true that is. But still, artic mermaids are on average the largest race of merfolk

2 ----------

Yes, myths and stories vary depending on region, but the characterization of the god/goddesses remains relatively consistent. and yeah, stories/myths/epic all exist, as well as story architypes.

there are creation myths, like merfolk kind being hatched from pearl the goddess of the ocean created/birthed. Or that the goddesses of the ocean and moon came together with two halves (one marine and one "human") to create the first mermaid. The most common theme is that the goddess of the ocean is sorta like the mother of mermaid kind lol

oral story telling is a big thing, most stories are told via word of mouth. BUT merfolks do have written languages, many of them since the written language changes alongside the verbal language. Very important stories get written down, but it's a time-consuming labor of love since it requires lots and lots of carving and safe keeping of the tablet (do avoid erosion lol)

3 ----------

HOLY SHIT ORPHANS ARE LOWKEY SO IMPORTANT TO THIS FIC LMFAO, since Megumi is an orphan.

when orphaned, the child loses their surname and instead it gets replaced by their birth regions word for orphan, where Megumi is the word is "Fushiguro"

yes it's very common for the first pod an orphan stumbles upon to take in the child, if the pod can't care for the child in the long term, then they will protect them until they find a suitable pod.

orphans are deemed really important actually, especially if they're foreign. When they come of courting age, they'll leave their birth region and travel as far as they possibly can to court and mate with distant mermaids. They help with genetic diversity, which is why they move so far away (to prevent accidental incest).

orphans are the only group of merfolk to travel such large distances solo, but it's customary for pods to temporarily allow adult/traveling orphans to rest/eat with them so they survive the journey.

i'm so glad I got a question about orphans ngl, since orphan culture in mermaids is one of the few universals (and like I said, really important to Megumi's character)

since the purpose of an orphan's move is to prevent incest, Megumi getting with Yuuji is allowed since there is no way in hell they're related. They're different species lmfaooo

4 ----------

Birds are a part of mermaid diets, mainly surface mermaids since they live near the surface (duh lmao).

I can see deep sea mermaids actually being kinda scared of birds, since plane crashes rest against the ocean floor and that would kinda freak out the mermaids that live there lol

5 ----------

I'll reblog this with mermaid Yuuji's ref sheet and colors soon !!!! I don't have them rn, so give me like an hour (I'm writing this between classes and don't have my ipad atm lol)

6 ----------

Megumi has no piercings, but yeah mermaids do have third eyelids.

they don't really have maps, since it would take too long to carve them. They just memorize underwater currents like people memorize roads and shit lol

mermaid Calanders are pretty much 100% dependent on the stars. Months are counted depending on which constellations are visible, and so they also have a way to count years when they constellations cycle. I haven't look too much into calanders, but I assume the months are different from human months bc of the star thing lol

((I guess that would mean multiple mermaid months could happen at the same time ???? Like when multiple constellations are visible that means it's multiple months/seasons. If that makes sense lol. ))

((idk how constellations work.....))

Yes, they have events around blood moons and weird celestial shit lol. Mainly lots of story telling and special actions like taking a day of rest or hunting for the full day. Stuff like that. They're more common among surface mermaids since they're the ones who commonly see and are affected by the sun and moon lol

thank you for asking so many questions !!!!!! and good luck on your piano lmao

when I played an instrument (clarinet lol) I never practiced. I was also very bad. My reed was always flat lmfao

[kakyoin-daily]

I think one of the most disappointing part of Kakyoin is that it is shown he's an artist and his whole like using a puppet to control the nurse and NOTHING ELSE IS FONE WITH THOSE THINGS. And not a lot is done with Hierophant Green disliking being out in the open and liking enclosed spaces like he had a good solid but set up and it just. Wasn't used. I still love Kakyoin though he is so interesting to me.

I agree with you but also disagree with you on other things. I agree that sucks that he doesn’t show him being an artist, like I get why they wouldn’t show it in a more battle oriented show but it still sucks as that aspect I like. Also I feel the whole painting attack was ment to be a red herring but that could have been done in a different ways. Actually the ova does that by having hierophants tendril slash Jotaro on the leg making you think they can control only the tendrils. Also the tendrils to me at least during that scene read as snakes as they move like snakes when gearing up to attack Jotaro and it also kinda of sounds like snakes as they. As for the hiding thing I fully agree with you. I feel that his potential was hindered a little bit due to how focused it is on big spectacle battles it hinders his more stealth based stand abilities. I feel like hierophant’s stealth nature could thrive in a part like part four where it’s a lot more focused on finding the stand user. Again the series is too focused on fast paced action scenes for a more slow and methodical stand like hierophant to live up to his full potential.

I do disagree on the puppet part however. To me it makes sense why he wouldn’t use it. First off to clarify for those who might be confused the way hierophant controls people is by entering through something like the mouth, nose, and ears and then using it’s tendrils to control their bodies from the inside. Because of this I can only see this working on non stand users as I feel that someone would notice something about the size of a person entering through your mouth. Also we don’t know if the stand is controlled by hierophant as it’s not complete mind control, it’s more like piloting a mech, so if the stand isn’t affected by hierophant’s control that leaves kakyoins defenseless while hierophant is controlling the person. I feel like he’d have a more hang up as well about having hierophant control a person like that and making them fight in a stand battle that could cost them their lives. Kakyoin only used this ability under the control of dio, someone who has no moral hang ups on killing or injuring an innocent person. Also I feel Kakyoin isn’t going to make some fight his battles for him. He could have easily let them Jotaro and the others get revenge on dio and stayed behind, but he felt that he needed to fight this battle himself.

That got kind of wordy so I apologize I’m a yapper through and through lol. I did enjoy getting to talk about my own interpretation and thoughts on the events though! Thanks for the ask!

[askthechronoverse]

and i suppose that justifies destroying lives. like a child throwing a tantrum, hm? hypocrite.

Master Doom has not destroyed the lives of people who didn't already deserve it. Name one innocent life she has destroyed.

Hello! I’m so sorry idk if you still look at these and how it works, but today I had a lady read my matrix and I’m not sure if she just had a bad day or if my matrix is so bad, but she absolutely had 0 nice things to say about my love line 😂 she said it means my love life is basically doomed, if I do marry he’ll just cheat and/or have a messy divorce with me. So I really just want to ask if that’s true? Hahaha

Thank youu in advance, I hope you have a great day 🫶🩷🩷

Hi and thanks for your patience!

Let's analyze your love line to see if the previous reader was accurate.

So, you have the 15-5-8 code in your love line. This code relates to a karmic tail, which is called Betrayal. Family Passions. However, you don't have that code at the bottom of your chart, so it doesn't represent your karmic tail, but rather your love line. Your love line is a combination of the number 15 (The Devil), 5 (The Hierophant) and 8 (Justice).

The Devil (15) relates to temptations, addictions, manipulations and being in the uncomfortable circumstances because you don't know any better. I guess that's why the previous reader warned you about possibly being cheated on by your partner. It can also indicate having adventures with your partner.

The Hierophant (5) represents traditions, conformity, family and structure. It's the closest arcana to your heart emoji and it can indicate your partner's behavior and personality. I think that your partner might be traditional and religious person who values family. Negatively, it can indicate that his family doesn't want you to be his lover or vice versa.

Justice (8) is associated with the law, balance, order, honesty and morality. It can indicate both things, from your partner being honest and moral to him being dishonest person who breaks the laws.

I don't know if you've ever been in romantic relationship, but every relationship has its own ups and downs. I was trying to explain both positive and negative indications, so it's on you to conclude whether you resonate with the negative or with the positive aspects of your love line. Both positive and negative events in your relationships can happen to you. Not at the same time, but at some point of your life.

I hope this was helpful. Bye and see you!

Best regards,

Paky McGee

Solar you can’t just rb my post with a banger take, now I’m thinking about the lifers as Tarot Cards

Jimmy the Fool

BigB the Hermit (lmao)

Either Etho/Bdubs or Grian/Scar as the Lovers

Joel the Chariot

Pearl or Gem either the Devil or Death

Martyn the Hanged Man

etc etc you get the gist

see i like tarot symbolism which is part of why i said that but fundamentally we cannot ignore that i also used to play TBOI:R which is to say that fundamentally what i was actually picturing was joel growing a unicorn horn, glowing rainbow colors, and becoming immune to all damage sources for six seconds

[bottomvalerius]

would he drink it

This is what Valerius has to drink before he can top Lucio, thems the rules

[a-stars-art-blog]

BAHAHAHA THE MERMAID BEACH EPISODE

they're all just flopping around on the beach and the enemy stand user tries their best to prevent them from reaching the water and leaving them stuck on land where they're helpless. joseph tries the Secret Joestar Technique but can only flop around like a magikarp. of course jotaro eventually manages to crawl to the sea and he's an absolute swimming ace once he's in water and gets the upper hand like a decent ocean man

imagine if the mermaid effect affects their stands too and now Star Platinum is a killer whale. ORCAORCAORCAORCAORCA

and after they beat the guy they're still stuck as mers for a while so they decide to might as well just enjoy and make the most of their new tails for however long they last

Bonus: (I couldn't think of alts for Avdol's and Pol's stands sorry sdalfjasd;lkfj)
