A World to Hide Virtues In @sigilmint - Tumblr Blog

it's always taken my brain an extra second to process when people say things like 'twelve hundred' for 1,200 (a number that's read as 'one thousand, two hundred' in my brain), but I get that that's just something I'm not very proficient at.

my question is why people don't say 'ten hundred' for 1,000. people say 'hundred' for everything from 100-999, NOT for anything from 1,000-1,099, and then again for 1,100 onward until five digits.

#I'm supposed to be asleep but this is literally a thought that's keeping me up at night #and why

kind of a wild take to just say with your whole chest that you think some musicians are more about skill than substance. as if anyone is out there honing skills on that level just to not express any kind of idea or belief or emotion. what the hell are you saying lmfao

#the amount of people specifically calling out rush (and other prog rock but rush is who I care about) for this is insane. like #I guess they're just not for you?? you can just say that their messages don't resonate with you #you don't have to make a point of well actually objectively they are substance-less #just bc you personally don't get them #what on actual literal earth #it says so much about a person to me to say that of any musician #like it's a line of thinking that is SO close to 'i'm the only real person and everyone else is NPCs'#really upsetting to see tbh #what is going on with you that you think like that #you can just say it's not for you #sorry to vaguepost in 2026 I just saw this on bsky and was. baffled.#to be clear the op that inspired the discussion didn't really say this but her replies had people saying this #op was more on the side of 'music that just doesn't do it for you'#but wow those replies

Still kicking around that Vera Prequel idea in my head~

#:3 #dishonored

For some much-needed joy tonight, I'm gonna finally post stuff from a project I started a long time ago. My ideal Dishonored 3 would be a prequel where you get to play as Vera Moray, and you follow her journey to Pandyssia where she's marked by the Outsider, and the rest of her life falls apart. I wanted to explore the idea of the character's hands changing from chapter to chapter to show the time progression. Vera's my pick for protagonist as a natural next step for the Dishonored/Deathloop world for a number of reasons:

Functionally, Granny Rags' regeneration power becomes Paolo's 'has to die twice in one day to really die' charm, which becomes Colt's Reprise slab. It feels right to get to use this power at full strength in a new iteration of the franchise, further playing with the regeneration game mechanics. Perhaps Vera's gameplay wouldn't feature deaths, merely a changed state as a swarm of rats is left, and she can scamper away to strategically regenerate in a place of her choosing.

While there is a 'canon' low-chaos version of events across the Dishonored games, there's nothing stopping the player from murdering everyone and being rewarded with an appropriately dark ending. This means that a prequel would fall under the same rule! Just because we know where she ends up in the first Dishonored game, doesn't mean you can't 'play your way' to wildly different outcomes of the game itself.

No inconvenient questions: What happens to the world without the Outsider? Are the novels canon? Does Emily abolish the Abbey?What about xyz factors?? Shhhh, we're not gonna worry about that because we're in prequel territory!

Technological advances can't outpace the story, meaning that we also don't have to answer any technology-related plot holes that may arise in a game set between DOTO and Deathloop. This would be pre-Sokolov's latest inventions, so no Arc technology, only the very beginnings of whale oil usage, I believe. Opportunity for another stylish power supply, or the obvious lack of one.

The return of some characters, and the opportunity to introduce many more! Young Sokolov making a splash at court, Euhorn Kaldwin failing in his attempts to woo Vera, going on the Pandyssian expedition with her bore of a husband as well as a bright-eyed Luigi Galvani!

The Outsider asking Vera for a dance, which she graciously accepts~

It would be a romantic adventure! And also a descent into madness. A lavish ball, an oversees journey, a day at court, as well as brackish sewer tunnels, stomach-turning potion brewing, and an ancient dark cave...

Maybe we'll never see a game like this, even though it feels like the right direction, to me. Maybe we'll make it ourselves. I hope that we all get to see more of this world together, some day <3
