#about... something

[rotten-games]

So I was thinking about what if the COI MCs swapped situations with each other (MC2 in the wasteland and MC1 in the city) and that got me wondering, for the ROs that were alive during the fall of the city, what would the ROs be like/be doing if their environment was reversed and they were in the wasteland/city instead?

Hmmm this is an interesting question because each of these characters are very important to the section of the world they find themselves in... but we can explore this >:3

Carol: She'd be the organiser of a small community in the Undercity somewhere but it would be more of a staying alive sort of situation than anything really revolutionary but you know, not everyone is Perci.

Lowrie: I like the idea that Lowrie would be in the community theatre with Erato because they'd be very dramatic together. But also you can't separate them from Carol so she'd still be around the place too. 😌

Mordred: There is only really one role for people like him in Ledala: Military. And thus that's where you could find him--he would be less wild, more disciplined. But also probably unhappier, tbqh.

Doc: She'd be a back alley doctor somewhere, or maybe just someone who lets people crash at hers when they need. I find it difficult to imagine she'd lose her penchant for wandering around but wouldn't go so far as she does in Wasteland.

Ridley: They'd be a scientist. Genuinely no questions there. Would they TRY to be ethical? sure. Would they always be? Ehhhhhh.

Harley: They'd be a bartender on the Disk, probably. Why separate them from something they're good at? That being said, however, they'd probably be lonelier, they'd have fewer close friendships.

Allard: Oh, I'm sure Allard would find something to be unhappy about and try to get to the surface one way or another. Or they'd try and take over the leadership in Ledala. Just for funsies.

Arthur: I'll be honest with you, if he were human he probably would have died day 1 of the fall. He's self-destructive, not great at looking after himself or others and is somewhat unreliable. Buddy would need to shape up and quick.

Dagda: Honestly Dagda would probably have a better time in Wasteland than down on the Disk. Or if nothing else, they'd get to go hog wild when they really want to.

Adrastea: Yeah... Adrastea would make themself the queen of a bandit group and sit there pretty until the cows come home, regardless of what they might actually want to do (they would get bored after a while).

Perci: She would take up a similar role to Carol but in this case I think she would almost be THE most heard voice in the room at all times with regards to the other settlement leaders. Most... of them would not like her vibe.

Saga: Saga would be with Adrastea but moonlight as a hunter for funsies.

Deimos: He would also be with Adrastea but I think in this case he'd be closer to Saga maybe as some sort of Adrastea-appointed bodyguard. Not... that Saga would appreciate that.

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

We're on track for an all timer of a day on twitter dot com

Male character: I'm not attracted to women.

Fandom: Oh, he's gay.

Female character: I'm not attracted to men.

Fandom: Oh, she's a lesbian.

Any character: I'm not attracted to anybody.

Fandom: Well, we don't know that they're ace/aro/aroace. It's open for interpretation. They're not canonically ace/aro/aroace unless they specifically say they are.

Hmmmm. I wonder why we're so frustrated in fandom spaces. I wonder if there's a reason.
