#high & low obsession

[ironinkpen]

there's something so poetic about kipperlilly copperkettle—who hated one of her classmates for daring to be better than her and having a dead dad, who refused to improve herself and instead chose to be bitter and entitled, who was so obsessed with being Special and Important like she felt she deserved that she willingly worked with a rage god, betrayed her party, and killed her friend—getting killed by fucking. Hold Person. her fancy optimal build IMMEDIATELY folding in the face of riz's cleverness and experience and applied knowledge. she spends years fixated solely on racking up EXP and getting the Best Abilities, and then when she dies, she's killed not in glorious combat but by a clever, practical application of a 2nd level spell that she NEVER would have ever thought of using because she has no creativity or adventurers' spirit, cast by the same classmate she always hated with a watch his dead dad gave him.

Asbestos’s niche is in tanking arts damage. She’s the only defender in the game with Arts Resistance value of 25 thanks to her talent, meaning she reduces all incoming arts damage by 25%, and then by another 10-30% (depending on rank) when her Skill 1 is active (I believe this stack’s multiplicatively and not linearly bc that would be absurd). This does make her the best blocking defensive melee unit for arts resistance, but she actually doesn’t have the highest Res in the game. Elite 2 Abjurers, Hexers, and some Decel Binders tie her at 25, Elite 2 Ambushers beat her with 30, and from what I can tell the characters with the highest current Arts Resistance are Pramanix and Shamare at Elite 2 and 3+ potential with a 33! Each point of Res reduces incoming arts damage by 1% so they take 1/3rd less arts damage.

Now this isn’t important to anyone but me, Asbestos is still far in the lead of any other unit with a remotely similar team function. But I’m a person who’s always fascinated by the extreme ends of stats in video games. And as a biased Asbestos enjoyer I want her, the character named after a fireproof material whose whole niche is tanking arts damage, to be number one. Asbestos currently doesn’t have a module, and she doesn’t necessarily need one, but I think they should go overkill with her and give her another 10 Res when she eventually gets one to put her on top with 35.

Would this help game balance? No. Would this make her good in situations other than against arts damage enemies? No. Do I want it anyway? Yes! Let her tank everything cmon it’ll be funny :3

nothing will make you sympathise with conspiracy theorist ideology more than having a seemingly rare reaction to a vaccine lmao.

Wild realization I had today after reading the 50th take of how Bionicle should’ve stayed a high fantasy story filled with mysticism and wonder: Like many other things, my fondness towards low fantasy was kickstarted by Bionicle.

Like Bionicle isn’t exactly low fantasy, but I don’t really care about the high fantasy elemental mysticsm chosen one against ancient evil storyline compared to the faction war power struggle stuff or faux the science fiction stuff. And while I always knew that the faux science fiction elements in Bionicle was what kickstarted my love for techno fantasy, I realize now that the power struggle stuff probably kickstarted my love for low fantasy or at the very least, fantasy that’s more grounded and focuses on faction wars and the like as opposed to high fantasy swords and sorcery like mysticsm. Because I found the gritty power struggle stuff to be much more interesting and compelling than the main plots.

the X chromosome in my cells changing to a Y chromosome because my special interest is geology and I’m obsessed with building collapses and fires rather than fucking harry potter or some shit

and before you all come at me, I think we all know that in the screenshot, by male they mean AMAB, and by female they mean AFAB.

AMAB and AFAB autism don’t exist, it’s all just autism.
