"It creates a distinct visual motif not found in other romances that captures the connection between the two characters while feeling distinctly not of this world."

"We wanted this to feel like Gale and their partner were really merging into one, new, perfectly harmonious being."

One thing I think about sometimes is that there's a dialogue chain in one of Ratio's text messages where he sends us the blueprints for what he explicitly describes as "an anti-planetary weapon design that [he] once devised," which apparently comes with the potential to turn into a full-on gundam???? He says that the necessary materials haven't been developed yet, but that the Guild is working on it and should have results within the next five Amber Eras.

For those who've read his third character story, the phrasing of "anti-planetary weapon" should register as both familiar and odd, especially considering how blasé he is in describing it to the Trailblazer.

My read on the character story is that the creation of the anti-planetary weapon was (whether consciously or not) a compromise to his principles in pursuit of Nous's gaze, and that the IPC's interest in said weapon was his reality check that he didn't want to become the sort of person who pursued knowledge without regard for human life. Even if you don't take that reading, Ratio is more than smart enough to recognize that the IPC can and has used threats like the Antimatter Legion and the Swarm as excuses to develop and unleash weapons with galaxy-scale collateral damage. (See: the Imaginary pulse weapon in this side quest on Penacony.)

When we ask for a weapon for the Express, Ratio tells us that high-caliber armaments are a necessity for traversing the cosmos, which isn't exactly wrong in light of how we deal with Sunday in Penacony, but turning the train into a battering ram is a far cry from turning it into something that could destroy a planet. The fact that the projected timeline is on a scale of Amber Eras suggests to me that he's being at least somewhat facetious about the idea of a collaboration, especially since the whole reason we're having the conversation is that he wanted us to lob thought experiments at him to distract him from work stress. But he does send us a blueprint file, and the terminology of an "anti-planetary weapon" (specifically one he designed in the past, rather than at our request) feels way too specific to be a coincidence.

I have a pet theory that the gundam design is a form of malicious compliance toward the IPC, and the reason the Guild can't even figure out the materials is because he deliberately handed them a nightmare monstrosity of a blueprint and then refused to elaborate.

(The bill of materials casually demands components that break the laws of physics. There are whole pages of math so complicated no one can parse enough of it to conclusively prove that it's bullshit and not just the revolutionary innovations of a man five Amber Eras ahead of his time. The research team sends a terrified intern to ask if the orbital laser cannon really needs to turn into a humanoid assault mech. He shakes his head and tells them that if they truly understood his work then they wouldn't ask such pointless questions.)

i watch one of these types of videos occasionally because i have literally never seen a single one of these television shows. ive never even HEARD of this one. when this was on tv my mom had already canceled the cable and i was in like 3 local plays, posting constantly on LiveJournal, doing all the goth photoshoots i could book, and also doing spot illustrations and tattoo designs for whoever would hire me. it seems like these shows were bad. like ive never thought any of the clips from them that i've seen were anything but excruciating. even as a kid whenever i happened to see any of this i felt horrible, like i was being aggressively called stupid by all the adults who had written and filmed it, which we were. i dont think we should be watching that much television. i mean not as kids or ever probably. im literally watching television rn though so

but one of the things this video reminded me of is that one of the unironic goods to come out of global social media is that it's finally proven once and for all that like three out of every ten people is exactly as funny and as good on camera as any given professional actor or comedian, usually better. the clips of the people on tiktok making fun of the professional actors are all MUCH better than anything the professional actors do in any of the footage.

Pinocchio's been real silent ever since this mf came out

This one scares me because I made this one entirely without a panel and in 3 hours does this mean I've unlocked Mocha's style and can use it rent free whenever I want
