I’ve been thinking a lot about the conversation in the Solari episode 1 fireside about knights and robots. Brennan says, “what paladins are to me in fantasy, what knights are to me in fantasy, I think robots are to me.”

While the inclusion of either in a story doesn’t require the consideration of any particular themes, I think that there is a big overlap in some themes that both easily invite the exploration of. Some of these include:

Agency. What factors went into determining your behavior? Were you just following orders/programming, or do you get to decide your actions? Or are those not mutually exclusive? Personhood vs an object, personhood vs a weapon. Are those opposite, is personhood even desired?

Loyalty, what responsibility do you have to the collective vs the self? What is your Purpose? Whom or what do you serve? What does that service mean?

In short, what code do you follow, literally or metaphorically?

And they’re both covered in metal*

(*or plastic/rubber, in XL-ZL’s case)

i dont care about validity i care about my civil rights

[our-queer-experience]

“can you be trans without dysphoria” “can you be an aromantic lesbian” “can bisexuals only date one gender” i literally do not care. in what states and countries are we protected from discrimination.

crazy that this post is like two years old because in retrospect a lot of this frustration probably came from how all available “queer support” i had came from people with accepting families and all they wanted to hear was how valid and loved they were. which was nice and all for a bit until i realized there were no gender neutral bathrooms on campus and there was no easy way to mark “use this name out loud and on any paper that could be accessed by family, use this one” other putting you trust in a teacher who could (and did, in my case, several times) fuck it up and re-out you. it’s about how i couldnt tell anyone about my relationship without being afraid that it would get back home, and there would be nothing protecting me but trust. but yeah like sure man i’m a boy because i say i am and thats what matters!!! and thats all the time we have for today

Back on my actual play kick! I finished "The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One" a few days ago and was blown away! HUGE props to the cast and crew of Worlds Beyond Number, that was an incredible experience.

Also I had to draw Ame, the Fox, Suvi and Eursulon, they are all so amazing! Can't wait to see what comes next :)

Obsessed with the contrast between Suvi "touching the world changes you" and Steel "No. We touch the world. We change it."

It immediately made me think of the end of Arc 2, when Suvi says:

"I cast mage armor. And the light that reflects and refracts off of her, over her, if you knew, if you watched the interplay of Aurora Borealis lights dancing across the invisible glass, you would know that that is Steel's armor. This is a wizard of the Citadel, and she is coming, with all the strength of her home behind her, and she looks out and forward, and any bit of snow that touches her clothing, or her face, or her hair melts away immediately, I will not be touched by this world, or any other, without my permission again."

When Suvi tried to avoid being touched by the world, it is specifically Steel's armor that she dons. Well before we knew explicitly that that was Steel's worldview, it was being demonstrated by the actions of the characters. This is a) such an interesting ideological divide, and b) an incredible demonstration of the way this group of storytellers is building their characters, other characters, and the world itself in parallel through their choices. I'll never get over how incredible this storytelling is.
