With how medium-sized country in the corner of the map Estovakia has the biggest airship fleet we ever see in the series, I wonder if Ace Combat's Strangereal world had an "Anean Flying Fortress Race" like how in our world there was the South American Dreadnought Race.

Alicron (ft. Me experimenting with different layer settings)

Here’s some lore about him I decided mostly today:

- Mobius 1 (mobius prime?) and him knew each other from a battle encounter. During this time, Alicron went by Tanager (I know that’s a bird shut up), and was a warship instead of a submarine. They later met up during a military exercise and got to know each other properly.

(-Aces of Cybertron Mob1 has infinite rizz. He rizzed cybertronian Matias Torres, he rizzed his AWACS, he rizzed Yellow 13. Unstoppable.)

- “Yo ho ho! I, Tanager, sure love being fully sane and mentally well adjusted Aegir fleet commander. What’s that on my radar”

-I’m getting off track. He actually used to be a very kind and friendly person (just a bit intimidating) all the way until the “getting lost at sea for 2 years” incident, which for transformers purposes has been turned to 200 years.

- He was a decepticon. After being lost for 200 years along with his seeker squadron, he was pulled out into the middle of a war. They didn’t have much time to recover before Megatron ordered them all back into battle, which led to Alicron obtaining a nuke and sailing off talking about how much he wanted to nuke an autobot affiliated city and kill a million people. Instead of dealing with this mess, the decepticons kicked him out so they wouldn’t be held accountable.

- Trigger met Alicron alongside Mobius before the war. Only for 15 minutes, though.

- She feels sad about his fate, and guilty about killing him even though it was the only option.

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered

is this nonbinary person actually "male presenting", or did you just decide that based on your arbitrary idea of maleness?

is this nonbinary person actually "female presenting", or did you just decide that based on your arbitrary idea of femaleness?

perhaps they're just "presenting" as themselves and your binary biases are clouding your judgement?

everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name
