crystal exarch's technologically advanced utopia has bagged chips

did the allagans have bagged chips. is there a cardboard factory somewhere. i am going to die mad about this unless someone addresses what the fuck is going on in the crystarium.

[viiioca]

the allagans almost definitely had bagged chips and all the other convenience stuff we associate with modern industrialized life. (i might be crazy but i distinctly remember this being directly addressed in a lore panel, something about the allagans using dragon language as like, trendy brand names. i remember packaged cereal being mentioned. i swear to god)

a world as resource-poor as norvrandt almost definitely doesn't have the stuff to spare for something as wasteful as single-use containers. but the crystal tower is...huge. the crystal tower is like the size of the empire state building and was built to house not only the royal family but a veritable army of researchers and all the support staff necessary to keep a structure as massive and multipurpose as syrcus running smoothly. the crystal tower is basically a self-contained small city!

so imagine how many cafeterias they would've had. how many boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of vacuum-sealed snacks and paper coffee cups and takeout containers you'd find in their storerooms. and the tower was in stasis due to time magic so it's not out of the question this stuff just survived without degrading for thousands of years (amon's theater carpets are looking pretty fresh after all).

and that's to say nothing of the very real possibility that there are production facilities inside of the crystal tower that still work. if they can print monsters and clones then cardboard ought to be pretty easy in comparison.

it's just there! ready to be used! and it would be wasteful not to use them, really. if i'm starving and everyone around me is dying of dysentery and the weird robed man gives me a packet of potato chips i'm not asking any questions

I absolutely love Urianger's walking-on-water scene, and I think what I love most about it is how much he's trying not to ask for help and what that says about him and where he's at right now.

At first glance it's easy to respond just as Alisaie does, gods above Urianger you have two friends with you who can breathe underwater, just ask, but the thing is he is trying so hard right now not to ask any more of the Warrior of Light than he already has. Look at how different this is from the early game's "Primal needs slaying? Dangerous thing needs doing? The Warrior of Light will do it!" coming from everyone. Urianger in particular is agonizingly aware of how much he has asked of all of his friends but especially Minfilia and the WoL. He knows what they went through to save the First and he knows it was ultimately all because of him that any of the Scions were dragged into this in the first place.

And sure, it's easy to poke fun at him for trying to walk on water rather than learn to swim, as Alphinaud does (and look, the twins have Urianger-roasting privileges, I'm not picking on them), but from another angle, he went and sought the help of the fae again at who knows what cost just to try and get around what I think from his dialogue is a genuine fear of deep water, just so he could handle this himself and not have to lean on his friends any more than he already has. And when it doesn't work, he's obviously embarrassed, not just at the indignity of falling in the water and having to be rescued, but also because he failed at something he's supposed to be good at, magic.

And of course, when Bismarck asks for help with the barnacles, the obvious thing to do is to ask the Warrior of Light and Alisaie. But his pride is still stinging from the previous failure and he just... doesn't want to ask any more of his friends than he has.

If he could, I think it would always be Urianger's instinct to handle everything himself and never involve anyone else, never ask for anything, never be a burden. That might even work if he didn't have an enormous heart that was always trying to help and do the greatest good and save the world--though it still wouldn't be good for him, in the end, because it would just isolate him further. He's still in the process of learning that not only can he not do it all alone, no one wants him to!

urianger and estinien are the two ends of the "autism that makes you polite" and "autism that makes you rude" spectrum

i told myself that i wouldn't be scared but i'm still having nightmares

zeph very rarely sleeps, but when he does, it's either nightmare-filled or dreamless. they're just happy to have someone there to chase the nightmares away now.
