what do you mean that the shroomlings have completely forgotten about their native god when the docilists have been in shroomlingland for only three years... there has to be some kind of mass brainwashing at work, right. right?
#infinity nikki#theyre giving me massive 'native peoples did not have cultures prior to outsiders discovering them' kind of vibes man#like. idk i might be overly critical here but like. wym you keep going 'itzaland has always had its own TRUE god'#and then not even its people have heard about it?!?!???#you would THINK#that there was some trace of ppl worshipping them SOMEWHERE#maybe not via written word bc iirc the shroomlings didnt have their own native written word#but maybe via drawings or legends passed down#like come on. theyre sentient and they havent immortalised their gods through stories passed down by generations?#if they became agnostic there must HAVE been some societal upheaval at some point in history bc of the conflicts between believers and other#there mustve been SOME trace#if its in the lore in some obscure readable somewhere id love to be corrected#but i still think its shitty writing#some things should be unskippable and in the main story man#its also ridiculous that they believe wtv nikki says#like. the shroomlings close to nikki? sure. they know her character. they know she cares#but the shroomlings who have never interacted w her before?#who have never even seen her face under the veil? why should they trust that the saintess of the DOCILISTS care about them#hello?!?!?????#like okay. sure. the shroomlings have been established to be overly naive and trusting and caring#its very cute. and theyre also not human so i can accept that maybe im j projecting human scepticism onto them#but like...................#theyre not very bright are they. lol#ok actually them trusting nikki so wholeheartedly is fine#its the fact that they dont know their own god that makes me raise an eyebrow#maybe 2 eyebrows#'what should we replace the docilist church with? oh i know! the stylists guild!'#how about your own local church?!?!???#how about consulting your grandma abt what she might have known from anytime before 3 years ago?!??!???#oh my god i reached tag limit
