Lack of Guidance x Dekmantel

technology in teyvat is weird because you can't even call it techological advancement because their tech isn't advancing, it's regressing. they're not discovering new ways to do things, they are actively trying to rebuild tech thatvexisted hundreds if not thousands of years ago that no one fucking remembers how to make anymore.

like. it's actually really interesting how most of the high-tech things came from either immortals or a long dead civilization. in liyue, the adepti are the tech innovators, particularly guizhong and cloud retainer. even ningguang's jade chamber needed adepti sigils to be made. nearly all of inazuma's tech leads directly back to ei or khaenri'ah. the akasha was built by the dendro archon. fontaine's power was built by focalors and the fontaine research institute takes heavy inspiration from deshert's civilization. the entirety of natlan is Like That because they're the only civilization that still has a direct historic connection with the dragons.

and i think this does make the role of the archons a lot more interesting. they're not just guiding humanity in a nebulous way. they are the literal bridge between the more modern and very dead civilizations and the existing nations. there is a danger to discovery in teyvat. all the ancient civilizations fell because they learned too much. so now, humanity is not discovering, they are recreating. and the archons job is to facilitate that recreation so that humans themselves arent doing it. they can study history but only to an extent.

Does anyone in Mortal Kombat like horses? Or are like horses banned

HI LLEWELYN okay so while there are no canon horse girls as far as i'm aware we do have several shown horses in mortal kombat !!!!!!

[image id: three pictures of the revenants and quan chi from mortal kombat x riding demonic horselike creatures. the horses have skulls for faces, horns with glowing hot tips, and similarly glowing hooves. in the first and third images, the horses are running. in the second, quan chi's horse is rearing up on its hind legs.]

^ while not Exactly horses (horns......), they are very horselike!! their movement and sounds are very much horsey!! but in mk1.....

[id: a picture of a horse from mortal kombat 1 (2023). the horse appears to be white and black. its wearing a fancy headpiece and is pulling a carriage. other similar horses are pulling the cart along with it.]

THOSE ARE FOCKIN HORSES BABEY !!!!!!! THEM'S HORSES !!!!!!!!!!!! and i love them and they're beautiful

[id: a gif of mileena walking past the carriage pulling horses. the horse can be seen in more detail. the front half of its body is white while the back half is black. the back half is covered in intricate golden designs. though it is difficult to see under the horse's headpiece, it seems to have black markings on its face.]

horse 💪💪💪💪 ignore the lesbian

ALSO !!!! HORSE PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!

[id: three images of the centaurians from mortal kombat 1, beings with humanoid upper bodies with large forward facing horns and horselike lower bodies. the first image is a centaurian in plated armour. the second two images show the skeletal structure of the centaurians.]

THE CENTAURIANS !!!!!!! there may not be horse girls but there sure are horsegirls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO

TOTK made a lot of stupid decisions but actually Zelda becoming a teacher was the most galaxy brained idea ever and I (almost) forgive the writing team for that decision alone.

Anger. Rage. Tears. I hate this. I wanna be done

you see the thing about healing is that you have live on with what had happened to you and that admittingly you'll have to make peace with it on way or another. the downside is that you want to crush them all for what they had done until there is nothing left

the instant i become able to put my thoughts into words im posting a complete breakdown of how and why slitterhead's level system and timeloop and multiple characters feel less natural and more repetitive than siren. despite siren releasing nearly 20 years earlier

so this might seem like a kind of random question but I remember a while back you were saying that Luna finds the concept of puzzle toys offensive, while Sparta is absurdly good at them, and I was wondering: how does Troja feel about puzzle toys?

Troja has had a bit of a journey regardig puzzles (and training in general) where a couple of years ago, being faced with unclear situation and doubt she would become increasingly uncertain until she decided she didn't want to do it at all.

Hence why, around her last fear period, if I asked her something she wasn't 100% on or handed her something to figure out, she would go to the bedroom and would refuse to come out until dinnertime.

Now that her confidence is up, she likes it. And she often ends up solving them, but it's 50/50 whether it's on accident and if she's able to replicate it next time. She does her best though!

I’m glad my expectations for Veilguard were low, especially from a writing perspective, because instead of anger now I only feel disappointment that even my already low bar wasn’t met.

Didn't get to smoke before work this morning (also not at all confident I took my meds) and while I'm managing the immense stress of the day (hello three new projects) rather well I'm reminded that the ritual of a spliff and a cup of coffee does in fact help keep my teeth dull and my temper subdued
