do you think if lucanis broke the cycle (not being condescending on his return, actually transparent that he missed and still loves illario, changed for illario) that illario would have defected from his plan? do you think illario hates us because lucanis is trying to break it for us (either rook/neve/the veilguard/all of the above) and not just "oh you've ruined my plan now i'm going to take all three of you on at once." he kept his grandma alive even when she refused to make him talon. do you think he would have killed her eventually or just kept her out of the way?

you guys are batting 100s with the chewy questions tonight tysm for this food....

if he had come back.... if Lucanis had come back and made actual tangible change... i don't think things would have changed. i think illario was already on this train wreck that he couldn't stop, but i do think he might've... tried harder to stop it? reached out? expressed remorse himself? it would've been more of a moment of "i started something i cannot stop" and things might've gone... differently in the aftermath of their relationship rather than how things played out.

i don't think he would've been able to kill caterina; he wasn't able to kill lucanis, he had to get someone else to do it. and i DO think he resents a Rook, or Neve, or the Veilguard all at once for being something to Lucanis that he doesn't have, never had, and can't be FOR him. why can't he open those doors? yknow. OUGH REALLY GOOD THOUGHTS

#askbox #kaldurrr #THINKING ABOUT THIS FOREVER...#would things have been different..#no i don't think so because i love cycles and tragedy #but i think illario would've been more genre aware #almost like solas. but not really at all like solas.#just that same sadness about it i think #illario dellamorte #lucanis dellamorte #house dellamorte (meta)

i’m catching up with mfm and boy howdy are they something to slog through. karen’s explicit advocation for “prison justice” is just....yikes!

any instructions/advice on using the mat? i don’t recognize the layout and would like to know what questions to use with it

Absolutely! The layout we put onto the mat is a fairly standard Celtic cross spread - although the ‘staff’ of it had to be curved slightly to fit on a square mat.You can find a fairly detailed breakdown of the spread here:https://www.biddytarot.com/how-to-read-the-celtic-cross-tarot-spread/The spread is very good for general readings, where one might not know what question needs to be asked in the first place.

okay so since scott did his *pulls gone on lok* what are lok’s feelings on everyone *cocks it* start with laurence

i like how iwas so fuckin braindead i couldnt answer this for a whole day OKAY OKAY THOUGH,Laurence: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY is it...complicated? Lok sure does like him, he’s made a promise or two to him and intends on keeping them. hes also made a small point to get laurence to smile when others can see it as often as possible. he just wishes laurence would let him sleep sometimes. Eschale: a good kid with a (pretty) good head on his shoulders. kinda goofy. loks horrified of that weird imp he’s got around that eats eyeballs, and lok still thinks that imp is just a horrifying looking cat. he trusts this kid, he just has some growing up and a lot of learning to do. not that great of a boat pilot.

Ash: Reminds him of a little sister whos mission in life is to figure out everyones business. lok thinks shes a sweetheart and feels bad every time he forgets she’s blind, but he appreciates her tenacity and definitely doesn’t want to see her bad side.

Iggy: who lost their weird.......sassy....weirdly dressed child?? whos kid is this?? whys he talk like that?? lok thinks iggys dramatics are fucking hilarious and has warmed up to him a little, but still keeps his guard up a bit. the fact that iggy floated right into gunfire without a second thought has lok thinking he’s Not All There in his head but he appreciates his dedication.

Sitius: lok was immediately wary of Sitius at first, but being around him this long lok just sees him as another goofy kid with a lot of figuring out to do. he’s sure his heart is in the right place, he does good things, but lok’s seen a lot of people like him in his life and knows you can’t do much but let them make their own choices and hope for the best. he likes his horse but is also rightfully Uneasy around it

Vonnus: out of everyone else, lok sees vonnus like a son honestly and he isn’t even really sure why. he’s a little rambunctious and thinks on the fly a lot and lok appreciates it, and when it comes to thievin lok thinks he’s got a lot to learn. lok plans on teaching vonnus how to shoot one day. he’ll never trust vonnus to set his nose again though.

Daisy: baby girl, daughter Lok never had, she’s a little goofy but lok likes her a lot. she’s right up there with Eschale on the ‘you’ve got a lot to learn’ department, but lok’s sure she’ll figure life out before a lot of the others will. she’s a little spitfire that always comes through when the group needs her and a pretty good boat pilot!Val: about the only person lok is still pretty Wary of. she’s up there with sitius, but lok can’t really get a good read on her, considering he’s spotted her sort of encouraging vonnus in his thievery. he’s picked up on her being pretty skeptical on a lot of things and generally untrusting, but figures someone has to be in this group.

alright i've got an arrowfam question or more of a complaint. i can't believe writer after writer just fucking failed to put together that roy struggled with addiction along with the sometimes-canon ollie that used to use alcohol to cope before he became green arrow. like the arrowfam has a lot of origin stories that can fit in well together through recurring themes but. comics are not known for smart capable writers

Hoooo yeah. I swear folks who scroll through tumblr all day and write fanfic are better at calling back and incorporating past canon back into their own stories than the people who actually get paid to write these characters.

#dc #arrowfam #like it was mentioned once that mia also has a history with drugs #but apart from that once it's never really utilised #kaldurrr

I know your whole thing is deacon but I do love your meta stuff even though it’s been Years. But I’m replaying the game again and I remembered that it’s heavily implied (or at least to me) that vault 75 is the origin of the gunners, who MacCready describes as cult like in their mercenary work. Thoughts?

HEY! So it’s been a minute since I’ve played FO4 so I’m going off of the wiki entry for Vault 75 and Oxhorn’s video exploration of Vault 75 which is not usually how I like to figure things out but it’s all I have available to me right now and I don’t want to keep you waiting for your ask to get answered.

I think the question is whether the Gunners originated from Vault 75 or just happen to base their operations out of Vault 75. I couldn’t find definitive info one way or the other but I think both ideas are plausible!

The brainwashing and reprogramming the kids were subject to within Vault 75 are similar tactics to what the Gunners employ. Maybe one of the genetically engineered child soldiers survived the mutiny and created the Gunners once they reached Uptopland?

"One day, children, you will.” Said the Overseer. “That's why you must do your best at classes and training every day. So you can grow up big and strong, and go make Uptopland a happy and safe place for poor people who live there.”

Sue and Roy smiled at that, and ran off to their lessons, eager to help.

An issue I see with this scenario is that the Gunners aren’t very moralistic, they don’t see themselves as the saviors of the Wasteland as say The Brotherhood of Steel. It could have played out similarly to what we see with General Becker’s terminal entries in Libertalia - that this child soldier tried enacting what they’d been taught about saving Uptopland, only to find out that it wouldn’t work that way, and was eventually disillusioned and abandoned some of their morals in order to survive.

Another issue is that the Gunners aren’t really super soldiers as we encounter them. Maybe their scientifically modified genes didn’t pass down the ranks but the military training did? That could explain things.

It could also be that Vault 75 is just a good place for a paramilitary group to set up shop; the vault has military training facilities, ammunition, guns, and a controllable entrance/exit. It’s a smart place for them to be. The Gunners could’ve stumbled across this vault like they did with Vault 95 and hit the commando jackpot. New recruits could be brought here for basic training and reprogramming. They can resupply. They can use the fortifications.

I imagined the Gunners like modern-day doomsday prepper groups, or even more closely related to the indigenous paramilitary group Tony Poe created during the Vietnam War (an inspiration for Col. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now), which would certainly play into the way Macready talks about the Gunners being like a cult.

I know I talked in circles, but I think it’s plausible that there’s a connection between the experiments of Vault 75 and the existence of the Gunners, or that it’s just a stroke of luck for the Gunners in finding Vault 75 - but either way, I hope this helped.
