i find it very funny that people keep saying that grian is going against his rebellion rule by working for the government (not necessarily incorrect) and that the dhp is going to incite a revolt because the dhp is Different from previous governing forces in that the only control grian is excising over the other hermits its annoying them as much as possible (which he does regardless).

like. hermits love corruption. they love running corrupted governments and then dismantling them violently for fun. the dhp isnt necessarily Not Corrupt, but its Not Not Corrupt either. grian gets no profits out of this. he tries to avoid doing his job in every way possible but he still ends up doing it. the dhp is just here to rectify any mistakes made during the initial hermit permit set up and help people with their permit problems.

the dhp is meant to be as soul sucking as possible, but it does still help in the end (if you can actually get grian to cooperate). He'll Do This For You, but he Won't Be Happy About It. his sole payment is how crazy it all drives you.

and while this is not NOT an unrevoltable offense (the hermits have certainly rebelled for less), this also doesnt show any outright corruption other than whatever you'd call a depressed looking man working customer service who hates you for making him do his job. which i dont think really counts. thats just what customer service does to you.

After The Acolyte, the number of live-action Star Wars villains with Filipino actors also seems higher than that of heroes with Filipino actors, and the villains in question (Quimir and Morgan Elsbeth) each have several more appearances than the hero (Stoke from Sorgan).

However, because of how much Lucasfilm loves to milk Star Wars villains, I actually couldn't tell whether or not to consider this an unfortunate statistic (although it could make one long even harder for Din to visit that village on Sorgan again).

the thing is, im open with seeing POC playing the villain role as long as it a well-written character and not playing into the harmful racist stereotypes stuff. However, it's not the case here with Sol, and Qimir as well imo. Also, we never had an East Asian Jedi Master before, and being part of the main cast at that. So I was desperately clinging to him but they ruined him in the end.

I'll never forgive them for ruining Rose and Paige Tico also, my only crumbs of Viet rep and they just yeeted both of them into the void o(-(

SOLISVERSE CHANGELOG (uhm atleast from what I remember Not posting on here)

fleshed out the worldbuilding surrounding pokemon battles more (champion culture, battle as an art, battle as a cultural phenomenon, etc.)

made more dynamics of all varieties more fucked up (notably: ethan/silver, elitechampfour, alola friends, paldea friends) (also kinda the johtags?? they were already fucked up before I guess there's more emphasis on it now though)

ethan dies. for reasons. but hes fine (physically) (mentally still up for debate) via ho-oh shenanigans

victor is an egg. he still is actually as of the 'current' era of solisverse. estrogen could've saved her.

also solisverse has canonical years now! kanto plot happens in 2007 and 'current' time is around 2023 although I've been playing w moving it up to 2030 due to fun plotstuff happening around that time

IM PUTTING IN MY TWO CENTS HERE because I think the entire conversation about why people choose certain potions and routes within non-linear choice based game,s, or any game that provides some level of illusion of choice. I remember talking about this extensively in my Psychology class for Game Design, and though of course theres a multitude of reasoning, I think what peoples idea of fantasy or even coping is largely at play. I know one of your thoughts on playing questionable or morally challenging characters is because you already conform to a societal expectation to "be nice" or an upstanding citizen, and Honestly thats super understandable! Im not here to analyze anyone, but a good chunk of other people I talk to have some sort of revenge fantasy and I dont mean that in a bad way! Rebellion to rules that plague reality and the ability to let lose, or just an interest in consequences for your playthrough that dont actually affect you is another reasoning, albeit the rarer of the two options. On the otherhand, as someone who loves to make The Most Morally Good Characters, and is also a big baby when it comes to being mean in most video games, My "revenge fantasy" IS being nice, because we are all forced to tiptoe around the same sociteal expectations but even those on the other side dont have much power in helping people on a larger scale that video games allow! To be The Hero that helps as many people as possible, that has to power to fundamentally change the world for the better, that is a unrealistic reward of its own. And I know you also mentioned briefly how you see it as limiting, and I think to some people this might ring true of them allowing themselves to cave and actually enjoy the "morally questionable" decision making, however I think for the other half its not limiting? Its Highly Rewarding. Theres also something to mention in how Linear people are themselves, its much more common to hear about people replaying one exact route despite there being 100000s choices vs those who do every route imaginable, so the more likely someone is to lean one side esp in their initial playthrough, the less likely they are to want to go the other way. I HOPE THIS DOESNT COME OFF AS LIKE...A REBUTTAL, Its not! I think this is a genuinely facinating phenomenon that ive had to think and write about in school, theres so many layers to it Id love to discuss and love to HEAR discusssed so youre so smart for actually starting that poll bc Ive been enjoying searching through the replies of it

hfdsgfsdg Javi your enthusiasm is a TREASURE it most definitely does not come off like a rebuttal. And I think your points are really cogent and in line with what I've kinda been angling at, which is that they're two sides of the same coin of "indulging in a fantasy." And it probably makes me a bit of a hypocrite that I'm like "I just don't get why other people can't see the appeal of Doing Bad Things as an escapist fantasy!" even though I would also say with my whole chest that being the big damn hero who saves everyone and changes the world for the better holds absolutely zero appeal to me LOL It is truly just a matter of taste.

It's probably beyond the scope of a tumblr poll but I feel like an interesting follow-up re: people not choosing to behave badly in games, would be to ask people why. Like there's the obvious "it's usually not written as well/doesn't let you have the full game experience" reason which is valid, but of the remainder I wonder how many people would honestly say it's just not fun to be mean, and how many would admit that it makes them uncomfortable because they still feel the need to conform to societal standards even in their fantasy world. (I feel like this reads as me passing a judgment on either stance and I'm not! Just thinking out loud. In text.)

also lmao

Oh man I forgot to touch upon this in my initial ask BUT tldr; yes I think games that present themselves as choice based and yet lean heavily towards one morality (usually the good Guys) and dont give second thoughts to the other side, defeats the purpose of allowing players to play how they want. I think this is actually why the only game I like being morally questionable in is fnv, bc both "choices" actually present interesting outcomes. Theres also something to say how in games the good side rewards more which I think is stupid.

You are SOOOO CORRECT I think whenever I'm like "I think I just need to spend like 60 hours or so being completely feral" FNV is the first place I go.

\long ass post about amber getting pranked and getting powers you were warned>

It was.. three, something AM. Amber, Buster- everyone, was asleep. Everything was peaceful- although. Something is.. odd. Because of that oddness, Milkyway slowly wakes up, yawning. A Jirachi waking up on it's own when it hasn't even been a thousand years would be a blessing, if it wasnt for Milkyway simply deciding to do that because it's already slept for three thousand years. It looked around, staring at Amber. She changed clothes, she must have woken up from her mini Phantumpa coma. Buster was protecting a small blanket-covered baby Mimikyu, and.. everything was, again, peaceful. Until Milkyway realized - something.. is written on their left tanzaku. They looked to it, yawning again and then gently plucking it off, a new one then appearing almost immediately with magic. It read the messy note - "tro ambr tru uldra zpece", it read. They attempted to make sense of it - Throw.. Amber.. through.. ultra.. space? They blinked, then smiling.

The Jirachinite Q on their back beginning to glow, along with their body. Amber, bothered by the glow, groaned, attempting to grab her glasses. Meanwhile that, Milkyway goes through an almost anime Magical Girl-esque transformation, their "wings" becoming longer, more akin to a scarf, the edges themselves like a Mimikyu's claws. Their "hair", becoming tad bits spikier, the triangles on the corners becoming bigger, and little blue spheres popping up on the tips of their, "hair". Their "bangs", becoming longer, thicker, blue hair bands wrapping around them, a purple gem appearing on their forehead, along with their eye markings forming stars, three triangles up and two down, like eyelashes. Their fingers, given a purple coloring, and the edge of their "sleeves" a yellow coloring, mixing with the galaxy patterns underneath. The star that rests at their chest, right above their chest's eye, gleaming brightly before disappearing as their chest's eye opened, the pupil being a bright, four-pointed star. Not that Amber saw anything, too damn bright. But the second she did look at them, their gleaming eyes, she took a quick second to process it. The light from the mega evolution faded away but they still gleamed, even if faintly. Before she could even speak, they grabbed onto her by the shirt's collar and then lifted her up, causing her to yelp and then teleported away.

She looked around - this was right about outside Mount Lanakila. "a" she said, before she heard a loud, terrifying noise. She looked behind her and would you look at that! Milkyway had just opened a Ultra Wormhole. She inhaled sharply before getting flinged into it by them, which they then followed behind, laughing as she screamed before falling onto a large wasteland, whining from how hard she hit the ground, before she forgot about her pain by paying attention to the loud, menacing footsteps approaching. She looked up in front of her, and oh, what a lovely Guzzlord! She inhaled sharply and just as it started roaring she began to scream, darting away as fast and far as she could. Thoughts raced through her mind - WHY would Milkyway do this?! But they were all cut short when she heard the beast yell out in agony. She looked back to the Guzzlord, then seeing a brightly lit Moonblast be shot at it, by.. Milkyway? 'THEY HAVE MOVES??' She thought, calmly. But then, after defeating the Guzzlord, Milkyway immediately looked to her, then dashing at her and picking her up, opening another Ultra Wormhole (the one they'd opened to get here was closed shortly after Amber arrived) and flinging her into it.

She tried to scream, but then landed on something-.. rough? Was it rock? Cobblestone? She felt around for a few quick seconds before realizing that no, it's neither, and it's moving! It's a Stakataka, and it's furiously trying to shake Amber off, to which it's replied with desperate screaming trying to cling onto it. It manages to successfully shake Amber off, seemingly to her death, probably, but then Milkyway, of course picked her up again, giggling. She was going to yell, before another Ultra Wormhole was going to open, the crack right there, their chest eye gleaming as they focused on it for a second, but the Stakataka then immediately attacked Milkyway, detecting a threat. Because of it's lack of focus, the Ultra Wormhole opened seemed kind of.. iffy, but looking at it, it was all they had, so in Amber went.

She landed on a rough, stoney kind of.. place. More like a cave. She groaned, shaking her head then getting up. Her PJs are all dirty now, but she's kind of only focused on surviving at this point. This place.. it was SO very dark, but.. she sighed, as her only option was to just try and get around. It didn't seem like any ultra beats were around, so she felt.. safe, here. As her eyes got adjusted to the location, she looked at a path in front of her. With no option, as the other path behind her seemed very well closed off from the outside, she walked forwards. This place.. it was creepy, and she'd just now noticed.. it seems there were people here. There are engravings on the floors, the walls, the ceilings.

She gulped, before she felt.. something. As if it was calling to her. She blinked, before she looked forward - it seemed to be coming exactly from that path. She sighed, stepping forward again, with little self regard, until she reached.. somewhere. It was like a small altar, ring engravings on the ancient stone, a halfway destroyed circle centered on the altar. In the middle of that circle, was a ring- more alike to a bracelet, but still. It was spinning - almost orbiting - around.. something. A small, tiny little star-shaped.. thing. It looks like a comet piece, but Amber can barely tell from how it glows brightly. She, as the dumbass she is, stepped forward, but the second she stepped foot onto that altar, the markings all over it, ancient runes, light up. Amber, noticing the sudden bright lights, panics, but not before she looks to the ring, watching it stop. She looked to the star, and it shot off at her, sticking itself to her chest, right above her heart, almost stabbing into it, cutting through the clothes. The groaned, in agony, as she fell to the ground. This wouldn't cause any harm in the long run, but DAMN it hurt. She looked up to the ring, only to see that it'd faded away, which she then felt.. something, on her arm. She looked to her wrist, then seeing the bracelet-like ring there. She blinked, confused, then looking to her other arm, seeing it there as well. Just now, it seemed this place was actually getting a lot clearer for her to see, but not before she felt as though all of her energy had faded away, and she just.. passed out.

[...]

She woke up in a jolt, looking around quickly. The place was very dimly lit, or so it seemed. Was it all.. a dream?.. one of those again?.. She looked down a little, and low and behold, there's Milkyway. Of fucking course. Every once in a while, they'd give her a particularly.. fun, dream, but none to this extent. She sighs, then mumbling "What am I going to do with you?.." and then gently pets them on the head.

Oh.

The ring's still there.

love your latest art. but where is bo?

Seriously if u follow me u must know that I DO NOT ship Din with anyone. At all. Ever. Also, since you clearly don't understand it, a duet means a song for TWO ✌️people. It's a Clan of TWO. Leave the old man and his weird son alone jfc o(-(

POTS solidarity forever if you have POTS stand up. wait no don't

I just. Would like you all to know that I’ve been drawing an actual literal map for one of the TBB fics I’m working on. Because directions were confusing me, and I needed the whole thing visualised to make the battle (however brief) that takes place here make sense to me. So. Enjoy? And good luck reading my handwriting in this light.

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.
