obviously sucks that JK Rowling is a virulent terf but thinking about the alternative universe where she's a huge queer ally and I'd have to deal with a neverending barrage of "Thinking about which house you'd be in is just like thinking about Gender!" or "Harry Potter is actually a transition analogy" posts would be much worse for my sanity
UgiGiugi's Tracing and Plagiarism. Twisted Wonderland and Ibat netjeru "Project".
UgiGiugi traced from Sirens Lament and Unholy Blood. If you scroll down my page to my other posts, you can see that Giulia has traced from unholy blood as far as stealing hayan parks face, anatomy even of other characters from unholy blood. She traced Lyra and another character from Sirens Lament webtoon. And she traced Kalim's chef card.
This 30 year old grown ass woman has absolutely 0 shame shipping herself with twst minors and Egyptian gods by stealing from unholy blood and Sirens Lament, twst, and many other people, etc
0 creativity 0 personality 0 everything. Lol. "Your OC Julia is so pretty!" Lol Giulia, in order to make her p3d0 self pretty and likable, she traced over Hayan Park (a Mary Sue) and Lyra, etc.
This is heartbreaking to see as someone who’s been a fan of Siren’s Lament since 2017 </3 please spread this around so Miso and the other copied creators can be given their own love 😢
Maybe a hot take, but I don't think the Traveler was being inconsistent or out of character in the last archon quest at all. People are getting upset at their reaction to Lyney and Lynette's behavior from the perspective of players, with meta knowledge of the story that the Traveler, the character, doesn't have.
The players know, for example, that because they're playable characters, Lyney and Lynette are ultimately friendly and on "our" side, and we can also trust that what they told us about their backstory is true. The Traveler does not have that knowledge.
TO BE CLEAR this post is talking about my thoughts on the TRAVELER'S thought process. If we want to talk about how I personally would have reacted to the situation, I'm an overly trusting bleeding-heart who would absolutely get scammed and probably murdered by Fatui in this universe.
(Also characters, even main characters who you normally like, can do things you disagree with and that doesn't mean they're badly written. I mean, sometimes they are, but I don't think that's true in this particular case)
But think about it! Looking at the entire situation from an in-universe, in-character POV, it's a really bad look for Lyney and Lynette overall, because here are the facts as the Traveler is aware of them:
Lyney and Lynette are not only members of the Fatui, the primary antagonistic force in this story, but are specifically members of the House of the Hearth, which is known to specialize in espionage, subterfuge, and sabotage.
Both of them also work in a field that would further require them to be masters of misdirection, audience manipulation, and drama.
They "coincidentally" ran into the Traveler right as they arrived in Fontaine and immediately began to do them favors and be very friendly, including saving them from Furina, bringing them to meet their family, and gifting them VIP tickets to Lyney's show.
During the trial, the twins withheld key information, and not just about their identities (and listen, I get it, I fully empathize with why they did it, I get the reasoning, but it's still a bad look when it gets figured out) but also about what they were doing in the tunnel.
They admitted that the entire magic show was a ruse to do, guess what? espionage! To break into the room with the Oratrice's core and find out how it works. To, through subterfuge, obtain Fontaine's secrets about the nation's most important mechanism and central source of power.
The Traveler has known these people for like, a day total.
So what conclusions might the Traveler draw from these facts? When the evidence shows that Lyney and Lynette have a record of misdirection and obfuscation for their own ends? When the Traveler has no way of knowing if even their initial meeting was orchestrated for an ulterior purpose? How are they supposed to know if the tragic backstory is even true, or if that's just Lyney trying to win back some favor and sympathy? In my opinion, at that moment, they don't. Hence the coldness.
My interpretation of events is that the Traveler does like the twins, and wanted to keep liking them, but was struggling to reconcile their initial impression of two friendly magicians with the realization that these two friendly magicians were dishonest with them for most of the time they'd known each other, so they needed to have some space to figure that out.
And for those saying the Traveler is inconsistent, here's the thing: they still helped Lyney. They still acted as his attorney, investigated thoroughly, won the case, and cleared his name. They've done similar for other Fatui members in their acquaintance—they helped Childe with Teucer, they helped Scaramouche/Wanderer with getting his memories back, they helped that other member of the House of the Hearth fake her death and escape the organization—whether or not they fully trusted them, and generally they didn't.
As for the Traveler's supposed hypocrisy, my view of their relationship with Childe is that it's only improved because, despite Childe trying to nuke Liyue in the past, the Traveler knows that
a. They can handle him if it comes down to a fight again;
b. He likes them, regardless of if the feeling is mutual or not, and is indeed aggressively friendly to the point where it's easier to just be civil;
c. Childe is generally upfront and honest about his actions and will strike from the front, not stab them in the back; and
d. He's worked together with them before when they had a common goal (for example, the labyrinth they went through with Xinyan).
They know how his mind works and what motivates him. Childe is a known quantity, the twins are not, and it took in-story time and shared experiences for the Traveler to get to even this point of neutrality; they were openly suspicious of him during his story quest.
As for holding his Vision for him, the Traveler didn't exactly volunteer for the job, Childe literally threw it at them with no warning and peaced out. What do you expect them to do, drop it in the sea? That would be inconsistent with their characterization.
Wanderer's whole situation is even weirder, since the Traveler was able to experience his actual memories and emotions and therefore has good reason to trust that he's had a genuine change of heart. Not to mention that they're not friends, I'd argue they're in that same nebulous "neutral" zone, and that only because Nahida usually functions as a buffer (and also because, again, the Traveler knows that they can handle Wanderer in a fight, and Wanderer also tends to be blunt and honest).
Also, in Lyney's story quest it seems like everyone got over their problems pretty fast and they're all chummy now, so you can all rest easy that the twins' feelings weren't too hurt about it.
Anyways if you disagree go ham, refute my points, whatever, just keep things civil.
Remember at the very beginning of the game when you first sign up, you take a characters hand. Then, this battle comes up
And this is the monster
Beast looking, blue flame. The HP was 99,999 (we were meant to lose)
It somewhat looks like Grim, don’t you think? (I’m in Eng server and so far only have the first part of book 6. I have no clue if that’s still valid or not)
But that’s not all.
Look at the background of the battle, and the background of the mirror chamber.
It looks like the same tiles and windows. It has the same design.
Is this the final battle?
Is this Grim’s overblot because finally a way home was found for the dear prefect? Did he get attached to the prefect, and not want them to leave? Was the mirror chamber then distorted to prevent MC from going back to Earth?
id also like to point out that if you pay attention to the monster it has traces from all the overblots which makes the monster being grim theory make even more sense because who ate all the rocks after every overblot?? grim, he could've absorbed the essence of the overblot phantoms
