Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

I KNOW WHO I AM // WHEN I'M WITH YOU

FRACTURE: ALPHABET SOUP, 2570

64-06-40303 "CATO" & 64-06-40411 "SAGE"

Cato and Sage are a pair of "mid-generation" corporate Spartans; they were orphaned by the Human-Covenant War, "adopted" by Lethbridge Industrial, and funneled into their illegal Spartan program when they were 9 years old.

Cato and Sage represent a somewhat special case among corporate Spartans, due to the fact that they've been friends since before they even started training. Their corporate foster families lived basically right next to each other, so they had a few years to grow up together before they began training.

It's not uncommon for pairs, even trios of trainees in these programs to gel with one another and stick together until "graduation", but Cato and Sage were already friends when they started, and were joined at the hip all the way through. They were/are mirror images of one another, alike or complimenting each other in almost every way.

By all metrics, Cato and Sage are a bonded, effectively symbiotic pair whose personalities, strengths, and weaknesses developed around one another. They're uncommonly good friends who are able to read each other perfectly, which is a very, very valuable thing to have in a pair of Spartan trainees; Spartans are fantastically lethal on their own, but a pair (or a group) of them that know each other intimately well and flow together as a team are worth far more than the sum of their parts.

In late 2565, after about a year of working together, a clerical error during the reshuffling of Lethbridge's permanent Spartan roster saw Cato and Sage contracted out to different teams. Lethbridge realized the mistake far too late, their most profitable supersoldiers poached by separate PMCs.

Cato and Sage have bounced from team to team since, proving promising but difficult to work with individually to a variety of other private Spartan teams. As of 2570, neither have been kept on any single team for more than a fiscal year. They manage to communicate occasionally, and only very rarely get to actually see each other. Despite the distance, they remain the mirror images of one another they always were, even as they grow and change separately from one another.

Currently, Cato is working with Wellgulf Limited's "Team Fulcrum", and Sage has been folded into Nyotatu-Lanhu Conglomerate's newly formed "Alphabet Team".

Being truly reunited remains unlikely.

This one youtuber is making polls asking who would win between Arthur Morgan and different insanely powerful characters and he keeps winning until it gets to Tuberculosis. Reason being because he can't use deadeye on it.

I finished mtmte/ll recently and as much as I absolutely adored the series, I do have some complaints/questions.

That final arc felt generally kinda weak, but some things really stuck out:

Most glaring to me was Nightbeat's death. I didn't even realize what was going on when I read it. I fully believed he was just getting up to more hijinks on his own, finally make his own discovery, then the series ends and I realized he actually fully died? It was so anticlimactic and honestly unnecessary I didn't even register it was supposed to be a permanent death until I saw he was one of the figurines of dead characters on the table. Why no one even give a fuck either the crew never brings it up 😭

On the note of dead characters, Skids. I know plenty of people bring this up as a complaint but yeah, I see why. One of the best characters in the series killed off in an (questionably necessary) incredibly depressing scene, with no one ever reaching true closure or having good discussions about it. I have a lot of thoughts about his death that I gotta think through first, but Im just unsatisfied with it. It feels like the series relied on everything just ending up okay, like with Tailgate mysteriously living. Cd/rewind and cyclonus/Tg both had plenty of moments were character death is resolved by some miracle because they completely rely on each other to not fall apart, and it would be incredibly depressing for that to happen to a character. And that's completely okay, but then it just feels weird that to avoid that kind of plot, they have the characters closest to Skids just move on, hardly acknowledging it. At that point just being him back as well, because his platonic relationships were as strong as those romantic ones. Or at least have his friends acknowledge it, literally anything. (I do find it really interesting that his first words in the series were his last, calling himself scum. Sad, but a fun idea, that makes his death feel even worse too me. He died thinking he was a horrible person and because of his lack of revival, it's an extremely depressing almost up out of pocket way to end of his character in a series that never had this type of hopeless vibe.) Maybe they wanted the DJD to be a full threat, by actually killing off a character. But it wasn't really them who did it, at least not directly so I don't really think so.

This is more of a question, what was the point of Roller? Don't get me wrong I adored him probably way to much for a guy who didn't really do much. But seriously, what did he do. After the flashback we're he is introduced, it feels like he's supposed to be something of a Skids replacement, as in he's filling in the spot of a charismatic kind guy that's kinda the more down to earth member of the crew to compliment that wacky personalities. I think he was supposed to be a Red Herring in making you think he was Tarn before becoming Tarn (because of his need to be useful and his head shape)? But it was so underbaked I didn't even catch that until after Tarn died and was revealed to be Glitch instead. And now this is getting into more personal opinions/ideas, but I feel like he would have been more interesting if he was Tarn. But I get that just doesn't work because he was a disappeared person, and clearly Tarn isn't disappeared. But considering the loop holes this series gets into to make stuff happen (which again isn't a bad thing I think it makes it more charming) it could have plausibly happened, considering he changed his identity completely to become Tarn. I might make a post going into this idea further, but it would have probably made Tarn too sympathetic (which I also have thoughts about) so I understand why they wouldn't.

Sorry this got to way too long, I might mention more later when I can fully retrospect. Again tho, I really enjoyed this series, no series can be perfect and there were probably time constraints.
