#that the actors wouldnt KNOW

[diviner-alva]

Okay but I'll dig into this hole again

Why couldn't Aloy just put the damn cannon on a charger's back and take it off at the Bulwark?? No, they had to make Kotallo get on his fucking knees and tells her he has a strong back. Honestly this is how I picture the devs while writing that scene down:

No no no, we have to make him carry the cannon for her

Why though? Normally she wouldn't accept it, and she could just strap it around the charger's back, they're not walking through any slopes

No, we need him to do this for her to show he can do it even after his injury

Okay I guess you have a point

And while doing it we'll get him to get on his knees

Okay... To carry it he would have to

And while he's on his knees he says "I may be maimed, but I've still got a strong back"

... You want him to say he has a strong back while on his knees in front of her?

Yes!

... I guess that's okay

And we show him struggling to put it on his back but still being able to succeed with certain ease

Yeah okay sounds reasonable showing he can still do it without much effort

But we have Aloy staring at him surprised

I... guess she would be impressed yes it requires a lot of strength to lift it

And she keeps staring until he moves away

Okay, you got something to tell me?

I would say the devs didn't intend to make their relationship like this in the first place, that it grew conscious and evolved into what it is. That maybe they just wanted Kotallo to be a relatable companion who understands her in a deeper level and still respects her for who she is instead of putting her on a pedestal, that both their respect for each other is earned and eventually growing to friendship and fondness. But all the hints of Elisabet not loving anyone, then Tilda's relationship with her, Varl and Zo, Talanah and Amadis, the Enduring, and a bunch of other things the game throws at you... I can't say that wasn't in the back of their minds the whole time...

And plus, the shameless flirting we got going on (god the VAs were in for it huh)

Testing a few different things with this one

thinking about pre-virus friendships..

dragging each other to parts&service after smacking around intruders a little too good

chibnall: this next scene ive thought about for years and years, like ive thought about this for fifteen years i think mandip: wow chibnall: "what do all the companions do?" because i was like there must be an equivalent of like AA mandip: fifteen years youve thought about this?

ive seen ppl saying smth in the wider plagiarism discussion to the tune of "don't worry anxious people, it's impossible to accidentally plagiarize!" and i feel like that lacks a lot of nuance that anxious brains like mine latch on to to just dismiss the possibility outright, as well as a lack of life experiences fueling it.

it is possible to "accidentally plagiarize" in that you can read something, forget about it, then a while later have your brain spit the ideas back out without telling where it got them. so of course you just assume they're yours and share them as such, because That's Where Most Of The Thoughts In Your Head Come From! and it both is and isn't plagiarism, you weren't /intending/ to pass someone's else's work off as your own, i'd even say in a way you were just as much a victim of misinformation as your audience. but you very much so did still resuse the work of someone else, even if you don't remember it.

but in my experience, this kind of thing also happens to a lot of people. you tell a friend a joke then wake up in a cold sweat two days later realizing the reason they didnt laugh was because they'd told you that joke a month ago. you reply to a friend's text and after sending you realized you ended it with the same exact phrase as theirs. you're writing edgy poetry and write a line you really like only to see it in a text post two days later saying youve already liked the post. like, it happens. so if it DOES happens and you're just honest and explain, people will understand. something like "oh shit im sorry, i totally have read that, i mustve forgotten and only remembered bits and pieces and just thought they were mine. thank you for letting me know and for the source" works wonders.

people know you can forget things. people won't automatically doubt your apology just because all true plagiarists say it was accidental. HOPEFULLY people can understand the nuance between a genuine remorseful explanation, and a thief who hoped no one would find out scrambling for excuses for why they did it. and those who can't, that's a them problem, not a you problem, you've taken responsibility for your actions as much as you can. they think the answer is simple, that the only thing stopping you from saying "yes i did it on purpose, i knew the whole time and deliberately copied them" is shame/inability to admit to your actions. but sometimes things AREN'T that simple, so imo ppl who are shitty to you for not following the script they made up for you in their head should be ignored

my last post got me thinking so im gonna do a poll to see what u guys think

id love to do a second poll like this on twitter and compare the results. they’d probably be very different from what i’m predicting the response to be here But also twitter is a notorious hellscape and im not setting foot in there. also theres a typo in that last option we isn’t supposed to be there.

EDIT: some clarification bc my wording may have been a little confusing: if two characters are not related in canon, but their voice actors are related in real life, would it be weird to ship the characters?
