‘knight of overthinking rpgs’? is that a homestuck reference???
First of all I was entertained enough by the comment/question to belatedly install XKit so I could reply in turn to it (why tumblr doesn’t natively have that function I don’t know), so points for that.
Actually it’s a round-about Sailor Moon reference! Back during “Sailor Moon Crystal” Season 1, the four Heavenly Generals were introduced in a flashback each as a “Knight of” two things (I believe based off supposed qualities of the gem they were named after). As with a lot of things to do with SM Crystal, this was easy pickings for jokes, and thus the “We are the Knights of Two Things” mini-meme was born over in one section of the SM fandom. I forget what my other “Thing” was (I don’t know where the posts involved are right now because tumblr nuked the home blog a few weeks ago), but IIRC one was indeed Overthinking RPGs. Caused by how I approach e.g. Fallout New Vegas (200+ hours played without finishing the game).
(I also didn’t like that scene because each General had the exact same longsword. If they’re supposed to be overseers of different regions, have them carrying an area-appropriate weapon for godsake. ...leaving aside that this supposedly takes place far enough in the past that medieval European knightly swords shouldn’t exist but no matter...)
