[tw mentions of system resets, integration and splitting]

Hello! I'm Mod Finch, one of Mod Aero's headmates and I'm here today to help ve finish coining a new plural term!

!!Evolving Core!!

The evolving core is a role for a core that evolves or changes with every system reset. They are, technically, still the previous core while also being a new headmate. Like a new iteration, version or generation of the previous core(s).

The best example I can give is our own system! Mod Aero isn't the original or our original core; a girl named Brianna is. Aero is actually the third iteration of our core but thanks to system resets, integrations and splitting, ve is vir own person and technically a new headmate while still also technically being Brianna and Orion, the 2nd iteration (or "generation") of the core.

The mispronunciation of Welt's name used to bother me (as it is canonically meant to be based on the German word, so it should be spoken with a harder V sound). I studied German in school, so I had to work myself out of pronouncing it correctly, just so the game pronunciation would stop bothering me.

But as time passes, I sort of come to think, the way the reason for this mispronunciation IRL is the intent being lost in translation (CN doesn't quite have the right syllables for the German pronunciation and EN direction carried this along in HSR), the reason for its mispronunciation in-game could, if you like, also be chalked up to something being lost in translation (in a different way).

I like to imagine Welt Joyce's name is 100% pronounced correctly. (No EN dub exists to prove me wrong). He got the name right from its source, given to him by a German, and mentions as such when he dies, "Welt" for "World" in German. There's no way it's not meant to be pronounced correctly.

When it gets passed down to Yang, the meaning is still there, but the interpretation is muddied through the inherent perception filter of a young person (as is his interpretation of the duty as a whole). He sees Joyce bleed out against the concrete to save a city and he internalises this as the legacy and the "burden" of Welt. The German word becomes a gifted Title that represents protecting the World first and foremost, and then as its bearer takes off to the stars, off of that original world, in an attempt to save others, it's even further divorced from its original language context.

When Welt describes the meaning of his name to Sunday, he's come up with his own, adjusted and extended definition for it. He's expanded onto it with his own thoughts, influenced by the Trailblaze and how many lives he's come into contact with. "Each person is a world unto themselves, with as many possibilities as the distant stars." (paraphrased)

(He also says some stuff about how the Trailblaze doesn't end when you leave the Express, so it really makes me think of how he might think of... Ahem. Anyway, back to topic.)

Ultimately, Welt Joyce and Welt Yang have the same first name/title in text and in writing, but...

If they're pronounced differently, it just goes to show, that no matter how hard Welt (Yang) attempts to personally embody his hero in all that he does, how hard he tries to carry this legacy in its purest form, they're ultimately still different people, with different experiences, with different souls.

Or, I could just be looking too much into a minor flaw in the translation process! Isn't that the fun of thinking too hard about things? Should we run Mr. Yang over with our shared car? We have to do something about this

I have absolutely no idea how they’d do it but I constantly daydream about a death note part II musical… give mello and near the duet they damn well deserve

Like. The original musical does such an insanely cool job of incorporating the each character’s instrumentals into the musical, I’d kill to see how they’d tackle Mello and Near oTL

[masterofthecygnetsignet]

We often see knights as their armor. By that, I mean them as a cultural symbol. They are festooned with every honor, even if we cannot discern their true moral fibre with great alacrity. A mistake even we ourselves make regarding our own.

We don't typically think of them as possessing an identity outside of the standard they bear, or literally, even the helm they doth wear.

They could feasibly look like any base wight underneath the visor and mail, and so, they are potentially a prime example of man become his mask. They are held aloft as exemplars with high rank in life yet earn such positions by near-encounters with Death, having lost the privilege of individuality and forsooth, individuation as they are often led astray by Fate.

They meld with the mask to the point of self-erasure for an ideal, to be remembered for their deeds, holy or not, never their selves or true natures but for the plating they don, symbolic of heart and mettle.

And still, they continue unflagging, almost as if they are as they’re viewed: steel shells—once dead, emptied of wills they never had to begin with, mindless automatons ringing hollow, percussive instruments of another's will enacted when bludgeoned, skewered like wretched ornament or spit-roasts when lanced through—as man, nay, beings, whose only raison d'être is to complete unending deeds of chivalry and valor, ever carrying out the bidding of their ladyloves or vassals.

This is the case I submit to you, my liege. The simple agony of being one of the world. However profane it is to confess in these such modern times, I have a soul and cannot be so carelessly replaced as our chargers o’ war have been by behemoth machines which neither grey at the withers nor chuff, forever locked onto their courses blind for they need not be blinkered. I refuse to be obsolete. I refuse to be feal duty enfleshed.

Shoutout to middleshooler me thinking I was unique for making Eevee my favorite Pokemon.

That was a fun like, 10 minutes.

it's just basic UI navigation, but I'm extremely proud of myself

next steps: - doing a functional map scene that changes the background and icon of that main scene - having the invisible buttons (on top of the icons) (because yes, the icons and buttons are clickable too) (small red one is to close the window) also print the output message

[slasherflicks999]

Seems a lot of people will go and be like “Ben isn’t all that evil, he is just misunderstood lost soul” I think he would manipulated them, and he isn’t innocent as they think he is. He is pretty deadly.

I also remember Tails Doll urban legend came out on 2007, and Ben Drowned was created on 2010. I love Tails Doll because I remembered I was terrified of him before 2010. He is underrated. I’d like to headcanon that Tails Doll created BEN as next digital horror generation. Like who needs Slender- LOL JK. And by the way, about BEN being friends with any creepypastas. He would probably see them as inferior secretly.

HONESTLY i love both interpretations of BEN like i love him being not that bad and just horribly traumatized and misunderstood but OHHHH I LOOOOVE WHEN HE’S EVIL JUST TO BE EVIL i cant help it i love evil characters sue me

if you ever catch me saying “I HATE EVIL CHARACTERS!1!1!1!” run the other direction bc that is NOTTT me

although. i love almost any interpretation of BEN in general…. i’ve loved him since i was like 7 years old guys i cant just NOT absolutely adore him in every single form he takes :^ except him in i eat pasta for breakfast…. we dont talk about that one he can stay locked in the broom closet. but every other version YESSSSSS give him to be i’ll put him in my pocket and carry him around (quite literally bc i have a keychain of him)

AND OMG TAILS DOLL i was never very scared of tails doll personally but thats bc i looked at him and went “awwww cute fox plushie” and moved on LOL

maybe if i was actually into sonic as a kid he would’ve scared me but ive only been learning literally anything about sonic recently so… oh well. but the concept of him just conjuring BEN into existence is so fun like i’m imagining all the digital horror adjacent pastas are somehow related and they have like family gatherings and shit LMAOO
