I am a bit annoyed by her fate, it's just not incandescent. Someone who survived what she did and had an echo of the former big boss in her head trying to make up for her past was a great character concept that seems to have been wasted.

I do feel as though Captain Mai Trin fell into a subset of "redemption equals death": She couldn't ever convince people she had changed unless she died for the cause, and that's just extra sad.

The Eternal Empire and The Eternal Alliance

Happy with how my swtor sims are turning out! Valkorion could use some more wrinkles though...

Valkorion's Hair and Outfit, Senya's Outfit, Vaylins’s Hair, Theron's Hair, and Cat Eye Makeup are all from the incredible @cursedbeasts-cc !

I freely admit that it gives me some comfort that people are still trying to capture Vaylin's appearance as best they can in SWTOR.

Crossover idea: Toph as Peridot's Metal Bending teacher.

I probably wouldn't have reblogged this except in the tags it had:

GIVE US VAYLIN BACK FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

i think i want swtor to lose all shame and start ramping up the nostalgia. broadsword start working with all the loose ends bioware didn't kill and squeeze every good thing the agent and inquisitor storyline did and just give it to everyone, who cares if it makes sense.

i'm so tired of legacy of the sith following what was popular in the tv shows (which ate themselves thrice over before swtor could finish off a single expac). it should become an ouroboros of itself not on other (worse... imo) parts of the franchises.

c'mon you're grown. you're 13 years old and kotfe is going to be 10 years old in october. give us 10 minutes of nostalgia before updates are shut down completely.

The seasonal quest is In Pursuit of Eggcelence, and I can't help but hear it in Vincent Price's voice while he played Egghead on Batman.

They finally did it, they filled a Galactic Season with just too many things I'm just not wanting to do, so at last I am free.

I've brought the wine!

While trying to reduce my Google Drive space used, it looks like I have accidentally deleted forever all the stories and art I've been letting collect there for years, so everything I haven't uploaded is just gone. It reached out and removed it all from my hard drive when I tried to unlink them, instead of removing them from Google like I wanted to, after I previously backed up everything from the Google drive to mine.

I'm calling it user error, though the fact that such an error can happen at all feels like poor design. Live and learn. Most of the stories and all the art I've gotten is uploaded to one site or another, so that's good, at least. And personal photos that I had saved there appear to also be elsewhere, which is honestly the bigger worry I had.

:(

Oh, no.

The high level Elementalists seem to all have a power that unleashes all four at once. For the Weaver, at least, when you use that power, you shout, "By my powers combined!" or something like that.

Liavin Ralti, Weaver, playing with her favorite element.

This will always be old:

On the one side, a group that wants to commit mass murder in perpetuity in a futile attempt to maintain the status quo.

On the other side, someone willing to do what it takes to stop them.

Clearly, exactly the same. /s

Seriously, the way so many people interact with fiction gives us a pretty good view of why the world is such a mess. They may as well just shout, "So much for the tolerant left!"

I would never say Venat is without flaw, and it looks pretty clear that she made mistakes in the lead up to that moment. But in that moment, she was stopping her people from committing unending atrocity to keep the "good old days".

And that's before mentioning that what she attempted at the end actually worked. Life was not snuffed out. Zodiark would have just taken more lives to stay manifested until he could no longer be fed and life would have ended, anyway. We know the consequences of the Primals being summoned are, and Zodiark would by his nature be unwilling to let go while Hydaelyn was willing. These two things are not the same.

I think there may be subtle hints through Eorzea that destroying entire species and peoples to keep the comfortable life you're used to is bad.

Did an official Star Wars book actually state the Jedi Purge as a genocide??? Like, we all knew it was, but THEY ACTUALLY FINALLY SAID IT??? GODDAMN THIS BOOK IS NOT PULLING ITS PUNCHES. [Star Wars: The Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear | Alexander Freed]
