this post is now burned into my mind

[starofcalliope]

My headcanon for Merlin is that he'll randomly drop insane lore and refuse to elaborate. It never fails to freak people out. Even those who know about his magic

Some examples:

Merlin, after complaining about his duties as Arthur's manservant: Maybe I should just run away and become a hermit. My father lived in a cave for twenty years - how hard can it be?

Lancelot: Your father what now??

. . . . .

Merlin, on a hunt: I can't grow chest hair. Not since the incident (he means when Nimueh hit him in the chest with a fire ball)

Leon: Are you just- are you just not gonna elaborate????

. . . . .

Merlin: Thank God it's not hemlock. That stuff tastes awful

Gwen, about to have a heart attack: Hemlock?!

. . . . .

Merlin, after having an annoying day: I really wish that serket had finished me off.

Arthur: That's it! I'm never letting you out of my sight again!

The False Idea of an Victorious War: We Did Not Win Against Asat Pramad.

A companion piece and minor analysis of 4.4's events

I cannot emphasize this enough: Spoilers for the 4.4 story below.

In simpler terms: Pretty much the title.

With 4.4's release, a belief had spread regarding the storyline: That Asat Pramad was defeated too easily, thus removing the stakes of the overall story of Planarcadia.

This is wrong.

We did not win against Asat Pramad. It would be more accurate to say we won a singular battle but the overall negative effects, drawbacks and losses outside Himeko both permanent and temporary are far beyond the singular positive outcome of that battle. We won one battle, Asat Pramad — however — won the entire war.

What is commonly missed is that Asat fully intended to either go down with his plan, either triggering one of two events:

a Stellaron disaster or the reawakening of Oroboros.

He succeeded in the 2nd one. Continuously, Asat attempts to get the Trailblazer to utilize their Stellaron in order to cause a snowball effect and essentially got what he wanted when the Trailblazer — wishing to not lose Himeko — used it to override her wish and save her from death. Had the Trailblazer used the Stellaron and caused a disaster, it would temporarily satiate the Husk but destroy Planarcadia in the process and still trigger off the Finality of Elation 8 days later, according to the Terminus Trailblazer's own words.

However, when Trailblazer used the Stellaron to override Himeko's wish, thus preventing a Stellaron-induced disaster & saving her life in the process — they instead traded Himeko for extra time. Instead of awakening in 8 days, Asat got what he wanted faster with the Husk awakening shortly after his temporary defeat.

Yes, temporary. Because he's alive, majorly unscathed and texts the TB shortly after the quest. All he lost was a pension.

We lost Yao Guang (whose state is worse than most people understand. Time is existence in the Hoyoverse, as evident by the Imaginary Tree. Yao Guang phasing out of time is her phasing out of existence. She is effectively nonexistent and existent. Death or life doesn't matter because she is a Schrödinger's case where she mostly does not exist.) and Evanescia is effectively out of business due to Asat's actions. Planarcadia is bluntly stated to be an apocalypse with every time you go into a Glee map from the new maps, a pop up will now bluntly remind you that it no longer exists in that state.

We didn't win. At All. We didn't even buy time, we played straight into Asat's hands.

“I’m just trying to think if I’ve ever seen you out in the daylight before,” Clark jokes, desperately trying to conceal the fact that Bruce Wayne in direct sunlight is an order of magnitude more beautiful and delicate than he has ever seen him.

Sun is not in his nature, not like it is for Clark, but he doesn’t wince or turn away from it. He stares it down, like he does a threat, and it caresses his face like any other.

[jadenaristotle]

one thing that i think hsr does well with its villains is making you understand their perspective. even if you don’t agree with them, you can understand why they think that way or why they came to that conclusion.

like with sunday, he had a whole monologue about about his beliefs on order and it makes you see how his childhood experiences (and terrible father figure) shaped his current perspective. also having robin there as a contrast to him and to act as a personal connection definitely worked well.

with lygus you can understand that he made this robot, it became a god, and he hated it. whether or not you agree that nous limits the bounds of knowledge, you understand that’s what lygus believes. and that he truly thinks the cosmos is better off without nous.

fulwish basically trauma dumps to us before we fight her, and yeah i can totally understand why she would want to take revenge on planarcadia after having her trauma be literally used for views. like the people she had relied on in her recovery were just using her for her story.

even the lord ravager, emanator of destruction, asat pramad has an understandable motive. he’s seen two of the paths he has walked lead to suffering for the people he tried to bring joy to. he’s seen the elation devolve into pure hedonism, and seen the people he trailblazed a path for become entitled and greedy. asat pramad even says it himself, “i walked too far and saw too much. afterwards… i could not laugh again.” even his goal of killing aha is just to save THEM from the same outcome.

i also think that understanding a villain’s perspective and motive makes their defeat more satisfying and significant. it’s not just a a battle of strength, but a clash of ideals and beliefs.

HSR 4.4

“I can prove that we can move forward without making these so-called sacrifices!”

Nightglow playing in the background of this BROKE ME

This is basically Hoyo saying, “Dw fam, we ain't killing Himeko off anymore”.

They’re finally breaking the cycle

[rex101111]

Himeko really did just expose Asat's whole ass in that final fight, in a way only an angry daughter could be at a father who used to be there for her and then dipped. She called him a deserter who couldn't commit his whole self to any path, because he couldn't commit himself to her, always thought he knew better so he never really bothered to actually listen to her or pay attention. Especially the way the EN dub plays it, she's equal parts pissed beyond believe and crying while calling out her old man, a rant she's been holding in for fifteen damn years. Thing is, she wouldn't be this angry if there was no love there at all, even faked. She did love her dad, Himeko begged her dad for stories and made him bad coffee to help him work and she loved him. And then he left. Than he left and she was still there, alone and afraid and dying.

That's the damn joke, that Asat Pramad was indeed the only father Himeko Murata ever knew. The joke is that Asat thought his daughter was dead and it was the final giant nail in Planarcadia's well deserved coffin. The joke is that even after the lie is revealed the thing Himeko is most mad about is that even after all this time her dad still isn't actually listening to her. The joke is that, after everything is said and done, the one thing Asat regrets is that Himeko won't call him "father" anymore.

The joke is that they genuinely loved each other. The joke is they directed so much fury and regret and sorrow at each other that the only thing you can possibly ever call them...is family.

Funny as hell. The joke is on them both.
