I've always found the end of Journal 3 a bit strange, but one of the specific things is ford throwing his journals into the bottomless pit. It's kinda cool as a concept, but it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The bottomless pit basically makes it so the fate is unknown of whatever goes in. it could come back, it could end up somewhere else, or it could continue falling for eternity.
ford has attempted to hide his journals before, but they were all found. Gideon even dug up the 2nd one and used it to terrorize the town and even ford's own family.
so I don't think ford would be blind to these outcomes, its happened before why wouldn't it happen again? I think the thought of the journals falling through the pit and wounding up in the hands of someone more powerful than an 8 year old would be enough to keep him up at night. the forever uncertainty would kill him.
then I think, well maybe he would burn them with everything else?
however, I think it's important to remember how much these journals meant to him. despite the memories they carry now, they were once his sole confidant in six years of solitude.
even if ford felt any sort of connection to them now, he probably felt like he had to get rid of them.
he probably felt that his work was a burden to those he cared about. that he would have to make the sacrifice to part with them.
I think it would be a great dilemma for him. So I believe he gave them to someone. I think a lot of people would assume it would be Dipper, but to me what it comes down to is that it would have to be someone ford could fully trust.
it would be someone who could see the value in his work despite his mistakes. someone who could fully understand where his passion came from at the very start.
so i believe he gave them to fiddleford
I think fiddleford has had an interest in Ford's old journals ever since his memory started to recover. he remembers something new each time he reads them. fiddleford would be able to keep them safe, keeping ford's mind at ease knowing someone was keeping an eye on them.
What are your thoughts on how a lot of theorists try to just package Eram into being another character like Friend, Ramb, or the Knight? Personally not a fan
NOPE not a fan either! I don't really understand why these theories became so popular. no hate- I believe in having fun!- but they've never made much sense to me...
I kind of wanted to list all the evidence of Eram NOT being another character somewhere, sooo no better place than here I suppose
Starting with FRIEND- these two appear separately in the same fight?? this seems like a clear sign they're different entities. also, while Eram has a pretty strong personality- playful but mysterious, a bit snarky, sure of itself- FRIEND has almost no personality to speak of
the "Ramb is Eram" theory is. Confusing to me. why would Ramb, proclaimed #1 Kris supporter, put Kris through a game that obviously makes them uncomfortable (at best) and force them to do things like kill their friends? Why would he pick at Kris's insecurities and trauma? also, he was petrified during Eram's fight.
(i do like some of the possessed Ramb designs though they're pretty cool 👍)
Surprisingly, the Knight is the one that I see the most evidence for. strong similarities between their songs, similar phases of their battles, associated with each other through the Shadow Crystal. even so, this one doesn't make sense- why would the Knight knowingly give Kris something that would make it easier to defeat?
also I know you didn't mention it here, but as for Eram being the Shadow Mantle:
tell us about your favorite unsolved disappearances! I love a good rabbit hole mystery
I’ll give you my top three with a quick summary and what I think is most likely to have happened!
3. Dennis Martin
This is like, the most famous Missing 411 case so you guys have probably heard it before. But, in case you haven’t; in 1969, a six year old boy vanished without a trace in the Great Smoky Mountains. No one has ever found him and no clues to his whereabouts have ever been uncovered, despite a massive search effort.
The part that a lot of people find intriguing is the involvement of the Green Berates. Normally, such a specialized task force wouldn’t be asked to look around the woods for a missing kid. But this is much less weird if you know that they have a training base nearby and they just happened to be available. However! The part that I find interesting is their behavior during the search. They very much seemed to be focused in one small area, away from all the other searchers, progressively moving in one direction as if they were tracking something. The day before the search was called off, they gave instructions to a helicopter team on what to do when the boy was found, as if they believed that they would find him very soon. The next day, the helicopters carried the Green Berates out of the park and the search was called off.
Apparently there was also some weirdness with federal agents making vague threats to witnesses. The Lore Lodge on youtube has several videos about this case (but watch the most recent ones because the old ones contain a lot more unfounded conspiracy stuff, which the host has since stated he no longer believes).
What do I think happened? Realistically, I think Dennis probably fell into a cave or got carried off by a bear. This is the Great Smoky Mountains and it is a very wild area. BUT it has just enough weird factor to make me wonder if something else was going on, although what that is I have no guesses.
2. Tom Messick
Tom was an 82-year old man who has half-deaf, half-blind, and unable to walk very far on his own. In 2015, he went hunting (which basically means he was sat down in a stand and his younger friends walked down the hill to scare deer in his direction so he could shoot them). And basically he just vanished. They went back to the area where he was sitting and he was just gone. No trace of him has ever been found despite a search. His friends believe he couldn’t have walked off far enough to get outside of the search radius due to his condition, so that leaves us with very little to go on.
This, of course, assumes that his hunting buddies are telling the truth. They probably are, since they’ve been very consistent with their story this whole time, but I think the most rational explanation is that they aren’t being entirely truthful. Maybe there was a hunting accident. Maybe Tom knew the end was near and wanted to go out on his own terms doing what he loved. Maybe they just had some kind of problem with him and decided to stage his disappearance. Other than that? Idk. Aliens. Perhaps.
On this subject, I heard about another very similar case once that involved an elderly geology professor and a younger friend looking for quartz in the woods near an old mine, but I can’t remember the details to look it up. It’s basically the same story; younger guy leaves grandpa for a few minutes, turns around, and he’s gone with no trace that he was ever there. If anyone knows this case, please tell me! I’d like to look into some more!
1. The Yuba County Five
This one isn’t technically a “disappearance” since most of the bodies were found, but it does remain unsolved and is very weird. In 1978, five young men went to a basketball game together. They were all friends through a local support group for people with disabilities, and they each had varying degrees of intellectual disability or mental illness. After the game, instead of driving straight home (a route that they had taken many times and would have known), they somehow ended up in the Plumas National Forest on a mountain road, which was in a totally different direction than the way home. That’s strange on its own but not nearly as strange as what happened next.
Joseph Schons was the one and only witness to this, and the details of his story have changed several times. For brevity’s sake, the basic story is that, after visiting several local bars, he drove up the mountain to see where the snowline was, got stuck in the snow, and inadvertently spent the night out on the mountain, where he also had a heart attack (really fucking bad night for him I guess). At some point in the night he saw headlights behind him and climbed a hill to see around the bend (instead of just walking down the road, which would have been vastly easier??) and saw two cars (or maybe one car) with anywhere between two and fifteen people standing around them. He called out for help and they ignored him, so he went back to his car and fell asleep. When he woke up, one car was still parked on the road behind him but everyone was gone. He hiked down the mountain to get help, sat down at a tavern, and muttered “I should have done this two years ago”, as reported by several witnesses. Someone gave him a lift back home and on the way he told them a totally different story, about being tailgated up the mountain by a strange car and generally being pissed off about it.
Okay. So. The five boys never came back down the mountain. Their car was found parked next to Joseph’s on that road, and when the snow melted, three of their bodies were eventually found at various points HIGHER UP the mountain, where they likely died of hypothermia while walking. That road ended at a small ranger base that was uninhabited for the winter, and in one of the trailers they found the body of one of the other men, covered by sheets. Notably, he had a full beard, even though he was clean-shaven when he went missing. This led investigators to conclude that he had survived in the trailer for many weeks before eventually dying of gangrene from frostbite and malnourishment. The body of the fifth man was never found.
What all this means is that, for some reason, these five men left their car and hiked up a mountain road in the freezing cold until three of them froze to death, and the remaining two found the trailer and survived there for upwards of a couple months before one died and the other likely left to find help, probably also dying of hypothermia during the attempt. Obviously the question is why.
Personally, I think the answer is our boy Joseph. His story is very inconsistent and frequently nonsensical. I think the original story he told after hiking down the mountain was probably the truth. It’s possible the boys were tailgating him up the road, causing him to get stuck in the snow, and, due to the fact that he was probably drunk and was known to have a temper, he got out of the car and some kind of altercation occurred. I think he probably pulled a gun on them and they panicked and ran off, or he ordered them to start walking up the road and they obeyed. They were too afraid to turn back and would rather take their chances in the cold than face the lunatic with a gun. Unfortunately, Joseph has since passed away, and the truth of whatever happened died with him.
The Missing Enigma on youtube had multiple very good videos on this case and I’d recommend watching them if you’d like more details!
Things I'm thinking about now that we're probably done with the God Valley Incident (Spoilers till Chapter 1165)
When we saw Rocks meet Imu/Im/Mu we assumed he saw their face and that no one was allowed but the Elders, but when they were fighting, in my translation, Rocks calls Im "King of Ants"(1163), partly I'm sure because of the Saturn transformation giving them spider legs but I'm set on the fact that Ants are Black. To me, this seems to imply that the 'Shadows' that cover Imu isn't a stylistic choice for us the audience, but what they actually look like. Meaning No One Sees Imu.
When fighting Imu, Xebec also specifically separates 'JoyBoy' from 'Davy Jones', which seemingly confirms they aren't the same person, but whether JoyBoy was a Davy is still up in the air.
Similarly, Imu claims Rocks has 'No part in Mu and Davy's fate' though I've seen some translations say 'The grievance between Mu and Davy', either way it implies Davy D. Jones came first, because we know When JoyBoy was, and that there was something Before Joyboy, —3 Worlds with 2 Wars/Big Events,— with the Second being the Void Centery with Joyboy. So Jones must have been the First War and from the First World, presumably with Imu.
This also may disprove Imu's identity since they'd have to be even Older than the Void Centery and so Not Lili originally. Whether that means Imu took over Lili like a demon possession... well.
Another thing is how Im talks about the Giants. The use of "Found" and/or "New" at first made me think they never met the Giants? Which would mean Joyboy wasn't a Giant as the very big Strawhat would have us believe. Now, as I've had time to think about it, it could be that they're differentiating between New/Modern Giants and Ancient Giants, because we know there's a difference; they aren't the first to separate the two. Evolution aside, New Giants have Ancient Giant blood, but they aren't the same. It's possible Imu, who's been around apparently since the First World, would have known the Ancient Giants, and these new ones are a first for them. So Joyboy may have been an Ancient Giant, though his silhouette had no horns. Alternatively, we've seen Imu seemingly change size, both because of possession and in Mary Geoise, so its possible Imu just became tiny when walking into what looked like a freezer, or frozen room next to a garden.
Now, when Xebec became possessed, he spoke to Garp and Roger with his mind; Roger who we know can hear the Voice of All Things. And I was very caught off guard because to me, it always seemed like the VoAT was like, Godly; Nature or the Sea. While we have seen it connected to Sea Kings, their thoughts and the control of them, but we've also been given hints that the Sea Kings Aren't Normal. (Alien Theory my beloved) So I brushed that aside in a way, but now having Rocks seemingly use the VoAT like telepathy? I'm unsure what that means, because Voice of All Things isn't a name I'd brush aside; it seems bigger than Monster Telepathy and I feel like it's been used in ways/places where Sea Kings speaking wouldn't make sense? But I could be wrong. This does confirm that Garp also hears the VoAT, if it is the same thing!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EXPANSION BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS I'D CHANGE.
I liked how everyone came together, cause at the end is what the game is about, connection and helping others.
I loved exploring Garlemald, and learn about it's people beyond just the faceless evil.
AT THE SAME DAMN TIME WHY IN THE FUCK DO WE BUILD UP A REGION ONLY FOR IT TO BE HALF A MAP?!? OR WHY DO WE HAVE 1 AND A HALF GARLEANS HELPING WHEN WE HAVE OTHER THREE THAT WE KNOW BETTER?
Bear with me here as the local Cid lover I'm about to go on a rant: WE HAVE CID AND NERO; FUCKING GENIUSES, ONE OF THEM WITH EXTENSIVE MILITARY TRAINING, THAT DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHEN WE TRY TO HELP THEIR PLACE OF BIRTH. AND THEN WE HAVE GAIUS WHO'S LITERALLY THE HIGHEST MILITARY HEAD OTHER THAN ZENOS HIMSELF, WHO AGAIN DOES NOTHING FOR HIS COUNTRY EVEN WHEN HE SWORE TO FREE IT FROM THE ASCIANS.
(as you can imagine I'm very angry about why we used ONLY Lucia and Max when my boys are right there)
Honestly I think Garlemald could have been handled on it's own expansion, like make Garlemald and Vitra one expansion, Old Sharlyan and Elpis another.
Elpis, good lord I loved Elpis, I loved meeting Hyth and Venat, I LOVED LOVED meeting Hades properly, not just Emet, BUT HADES. (If you know me you know I have a very big weakspot for tragic villains) HADES WAS FANTASTIC, someone grab Renee and shake him giving him thanks cause I swear to god his portrayal of the two sides is Oscar worthy, THE ONLY TIME I WAS MORE INVESTED ON A VOICE ON THIS GAME WAS FUCKING ARDBERT CRYING ON THE FIRST ABOUT BEING A GHOST FOR A CENTURY.
To be able to see Hades, the kind man that hides under all the pain Emet went through... It was so heart-wrenching, to finally understand what he was fighting for, to see how much he did lost himself in trying to bring everyone back...
I loved Hyth so much too, he's so confident in his friends, he never doubts them, he knows we have soemthing to do with Azem and he trusts us IMMEDIATELY, he's such a good friend, he tells us about the things Hades won't, and in the end of all things, in the Moon where he has been wandering for millenia he STILL RECOGNIZES US, CAUSE WE ARE AZEM AND HE LOVES AZEM. (writing this with the LoTR soundtrack in the background was a bad idea, now I'm crying)
Venat.... I have conflicting feelings with her (Which you CAN TOTALLY SEE ON HOW MY AZEM OCS REACT TO HER) on one hand I understand why she would keep things from the convocation, as she was part of it and got how they worked and such... BUT MA'AM I'M SURE YOU COULD HAVE THOUGHT A COUPLE OF SAFEGUARDS MORE FOR CERTAIN THINGS.
I understand that in turning into the Mothercrystal she also lost herlsef to it, in the same way Elidibus lost himself to his purpose, It's one of the things I like the most, THE PARALLELS.
I'M A SUCKER FOR PARALLELS AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE ZENOS SO MUCH AS OUR FOIL.
Old Sharlyan... Dear god I REALLY REALLY wanted to slap the teins father a couple of times, like bish come here, our hair might look the same but I wear it better (Astrid uses the same hairstyle as him)
I liked the whole forum part, not as much as Elpis or Garlemald but it was alright, BUT AND GET READY FOR THE SECOND PART OF MY CID AND NERO RANT:
HOW IN ALL THE FUCKS DO WE NOT CALL THE BEST FUCKING ENGINEER IN THE DAMN STAR TO HELP US MAKE A DAMN ROCKET?!?!? I'm not saying this as Cid's wife, no I'm saying this as a person who knows nothing of engineering, If I have to handle something like the Ragnarok I call my friend who knows how to fix ANYTHING, and who has been proving himself as a fucking genius for the last 10+ years of the damn game going all the way back to 1.0, HE AND NERO FOUND A WAY TO TRAVEL THROUGH FUCKING TIME FOR FUCKS SAKE, AND YOU DON'T THINK TO CALL THEM TO FIX TEH RAGNAROK ONCE WE REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN??????? I understand not doing it before, secrets bullshit... but once we see the fucking clock ticking, call him to fix it not ME.
I'm going to change the subject before I get too angry, I'll write something to fix it later... IS THE AYMERIC BULLSHIT ALL OVER AGAIN SE, LET THE MEN JOIN THE FIGHT.
Thavnir is gorgeous, and I loved Vitra so much, to see a dragon with such love for humans that he WOULD JOIN THEM... It was beautiful, the places are beautiful, the people are kind and the cutlure was fascinating, I love learning about other cultures AND IS WHERE KALEH WAS BORN (Kaleh, is the little miqo that Arslan and Aren adopted during the whole people turning into monsters part of the game, her family was unfortunately dead, and she was a baby so they just adopted her)
I really loved the expansion don't get me wrong, I do thing things could have been handled better in two expansions instead of one, but... At least it will feed my fics for a while to come.
LAST
LAST POINT I SWEAR BUT YOU CAN'T SAY THIS TO ME AND NOT EXPECT ME TO HEAR MY BOY NOCTIS GOING: WALK TALL AT THE END OF XV (astrid is named LUCIS cause of him, and the XV collab gave me my favorite galmour after all)
long post because i have SO MUCH to say about this
i still have a huge obsession with The Interwebsseries gijinkas/design of Wikipedia & Urban Dictionary im still upset to this day that they've rarely interacted
i really, REALLY had a crush for wiki & urban's design
my fictional characters types were clashing together, like "prim & neat twink wearing proper/formal clothes" vs the "messy, whatever the hell rugged guy"
im just. so upset that they weren't together. like its yaoibait or something HAJXJANF /lh /hj /JOKING IM JOKING OK I FEEL LIKE IM YAOIBAITED BECAUSE IT HAD GOOD POTENTIAL
i had drawn my versions of them obviously- to satisfy the urge of pairing these two together (and to avoid making fanart from a dead series)
(2023-2024?) i depicted my Wikipedia as an old man who holds alot of knowledge + super kind to help out with your projects
while my Urban Dictionary is like those cool uncs who've kept up with the times (knowledge in modern slang, trends and all)
and..................sooo.....guess what, i revisited that sketchbook and redrew them again.
this time they're a bit more freakier than ever......
(they're interacting with the other design here btw)
i made my urban legit head over heels a totallll simp for his wiki- as if they're not married lol
im particularly obsessed with my wikipedia, i added another layer to his "kind helpful old man" personality, he's very very spiteful/egotistical about having knowledge of the whole world
and with the overusage of AI/AI clouding over real facts/stealing from Wikipedia, he's very angry about it but keeps it hidden..
i....uh... actually plan to make them as ocs- not associated with The Interwebsseries or Wikipedia/Urban anymore since i do very much want to respect the wishes of the artist to let the series die
also i feel like i might repeat history (having people telling me this and that on what i should do with my characters) so nah.
sydney rambles bc this is my blog and mom said its my turn with the communal barbie doll (obligatory disclaimer of this pertaining to my syd & doesnt have to affect how u view ur own games version! also will be referring to syd with he/him)
circle glasses for max moe points. eris buys him contacts after the 3rd time his glasses get broken. still sometimes wears glasses, mostly for aesthetic appeal or when hes too tired to pop contacts in. has absolutely fallen asleep with them in before. ouch.
wears hair loose now adays but will occasionally switch it up depending on the outfit and event. ties his hair with eris' teal ribbon that he was gifted after they started dating. (kylar has probably stolen that ribbon before, but eris just have sydney a new one lmao)
idc if it is or isnt confirmed, ive been thinking of DID sydney well before i saw the tumblr dollies talking about it (those posts only fueled me lmao) and i 100% hc sysney. at least 3 bad boys are in that noggin; pure syd, corrupt syd, third secret spicy option syd that hes not aware of & is the cause for the "huh? what do u mean i just did xyz thing i dont remember that :-)???" scenes.
in my heart of hearts i do believe sydney is capable of knocking sb the fuck out & he would if push came to shove. the warnings he gives arent just for show! would he feel bad after? nngghh.... maybe. more like hed feel guilty for letting it get that far & have a mini spiral about how hes out of control & oh god plz forgive him,,,
only time hes getting to that level is if his partner is in active danger right in front of him. this is secret spicy 3rd sydney's moment to shine. (fyi eris thinks this is Hot AF & reassures sydney he did nothing wrong. ---purity loss interaction lol)
looks a LOT like sirris (dad in my game) but gets sheepish when compared to him. eye & hair color from mom.
this bitch is packing bc i think its so thematically funny for pure syd to go thru the stages of horny grief while ImprisionedTM & during his descent to corrupt sydney. fallen sydney is a lot more confident with his size! if i were to put a numbered range on what in game "huge" is id probably say were talkin pornstar level 9-11in and OUCH but also ykno what. size queenkings geddit. sydney personally? 10. maybe he was locked up for the good of all of doltown lmaaaoo
as ive seen others put it: sydneys got big "sleeper build" body type. you dont expect this nerd behind the library counter to be ripped but when he flexes u see the muscle and its a big slap in the face to ur arousal meter. Q&A's have also stated sydney to be strong but lack stamina. thats fiiine its just something to work on :^)
idr if its been stated in any Q&A's (sighing again that most lore is locked away in fucking discord Q&A's...) but Personally! i think sydney has a beginning low, to medium awareness after corrupting but! his psyche is fucked and he is ACTIVELY denying any supernatural stuff bc he just. cant handle it.
or, at least, most of the alters cant; i do believe on a deeper level once you get past the trauma fueled denial, he does know and acknowledge shit isnt right. faithful alter will always deny it, fallen alter is a 50/50 leaning towards willful denial, and its probably the other more volatile alter that pops up from time to time that fully acknowledges the supernatural aspects of the time.
i have my game set to not really acknowledge genitalia in regards to pc pronouns bc fuck u. HOWEVER realistically i do think sydney learning that eris was trans literally during the rite of promise would be a very pika gasp moment and hes rolling with it bc he loves him but afterwards he Does ask questions bc he doesnt fully get it but he wants to and eris is patient about it but also mildly on the defense bc he doesnt want to be seen any different than before,,, but sydney's respectful! and after a few months of contemplation he confesses that he never really put too much thought in gender outside of "it just is what it is", but that he himself sometimes feels like an ambiguous question mark.
he still uses he/him, but having his eyes opened to the world outside of cishet normatives definitely puts some things into perspective. he DOES have to learn not to be pushy about certain things, like how ur well meaning friend who's still learning will immediately jump to correct somebody even when you urself dont wana cause a fuss lol. but its all in good faith!
no. he will not ask his dad outside of what is absolutely necessary to ask, bc he knows he's just going to leave that conversation embarrassed. he makes the mistake of offhandedly mentioning queer gender theory like Once and sirris is going on a spiel about how its normal in the animal kingdom for blahblahblah humans are the only species to have so many societal rules and blahblahblah. (sirris is very encouraging and tries not to push but he also makes a big "if theres anything u need to tell me syd, u know i love u no matter what" scene that has sydney running away at top speeds bc AAAAA NO NO U MISUNDERSTOOD AAA;;; )
probs the oldest student LI. once read a post saying something along the lines of "sydney needed to stay in school longer bc of the thing with his mom/hospitalization afterwards" and i think that fits. closer to 19 going on 20, taking remedial classes and kind of in this weird grey space of student & teachers (librarians?) aide bc of his age. +being sirris' kid. it makes for a weird reputation amongst the student body, further alienating him from others who see him as "a teachers pet, teachers kid, & a weirdo whos too old to still be in school". (theyre all over 18, but if i had to place them id say: pc/whitney -> robin -> kylar -> sydney. dont ask for my source this all vibes baybeeee).
i refuse to believe sydney would listen to dad rock. idc if it was a joke by the devs or if it was serious my disdain for dad rock forbids this LMAAAO honestly he probably isnt a very big music listener and just passively lets the radio do whatever or lets sirris choose when they drive together. non lyrical instrumental music is probably his preferred go to music, but i can for sure see him getting catchy top 20s pop songs in his head and humming them under his breath b4 catching himself and grimacing bc its not even a good song its just stupidly repetitive,,, eris' music taste is pretty broad and sharing his tunes is a love language in itself so syd gets a good dosing of different genres over time! he gravitates towards whatever eris likes in true sydney-can-never-choose-for-himself fashion buuut i could see him genuinely enjoying hard rock as a kind of cathartic stress reliever.
big baby. we already know this, but i just wana reiterate it LOL. no matter how much fallen sydney tries to be tough and seductive, hes crumpling whenever eris holds him. they are so disgustingly codependent post-rite lol
however, and maybe im delusional!!, i still think sydney leans on the caretaker/submissive top side. yes he likes to be babied to a degree but we've seen in game how he can and does take initiative once hes comfortable enough. what he lacks in skill he makes up for in eagerness to please. faithful syd may be more pillow princess but i think theres enough instances in the game to show that theres also a side of him thats actively willing to lead and will take initiative! (again, didney hc - the differences lie in the altars but we must remember theyre all still aspects of sydney as a whole!)
its loosely talked about in game, that he likes the ocean but hasnt done many beach activities since the mom incidentTM — but i like to think he has beach mementos in his otherwise very standard bedroom. post romance routing him and going on more beach dates, that collection slowly begins to grow again. its a kinda bittersweet thing, and he probably separates the mom-collection from the eris-collection.
i stated it before but again: i think hed be capable of handling a polyship (a 3 person poly relationship only, including himself) but itd have to be corrupt sydney and hed be a bit reluctant - more or less so depending on who it is youre trying to bring into the relationship.
eris canonically has sydney and kylar set as his LIs, which i feel would be the easiest to accept for sydney given their shared history. (kylar is a different story but this post isnt about him lol). hed still need to warm up to it tho, being the king of dol slowburn, but eventually hed be fine with and even include kylar in things.
now how much of this is his "i need to please pc & tailor myself to their preferences" thing mmm. depends on the third person! maybe a little something like this from most to least easily accepted: kylar -> robin -> whitney -> alex -> avery/eden -> BW/GH simply bc ur fucking with his perception of supernatural shit if theyre beastpeople & hes 100% skeeved out if theyre not.
anyways thats all for now :] ! if u hate my opinions eat my shorts its ok bc they dont have to affect ur game's worldstate or how u view ur own version of sydney!!! if u like it, woohoo! questions about anything i didnt mention? feel free to ask! *im not in the discord, im not a dev or contributor, nothing i say is canon, these are just my hcs, etc etc disclaimers.
