HANMU RRUK IS WUK LAMATS BIOLOGICAL DAD WHAT THE FUCK???????? INSANE LORE DROP OUT OF NOWHERE OK??? OHHHH MY GOD HOLY SHIT THAT WUK LAMAT DUTY WAS SO FUNNNN RUN THEM POCKETS BAKOOL GET YOUR SHIT BEAT INNNNN. Canonically I'm making it so that Vi slipped in a few buff and heal cards to her before the battle because she knew Bakool Ja Ja was gonna try to cheat when he started losing.

The Tides Of Tural: Culture and the Sides of its Coin (Day 10) (The DT Journal of Vi Lunalis | Entry #2)
Culture is a double edged sword, as such, it’s always been something I’ve wagered caution around. Culture and its cousin religion can indeed cultivate lasting community, uplift a people, unite them behind a common cause. However it as just as easy for such collective efforts to crush a people. I sympathize with how the catalysts of the Mamool Ja’s living conditions pushed them to such extreme beliefs, but it makes one wonder on the logistics of how it’s insufferably common it is for such circumstances to push people to violence and rash decision making. I have encountered it many times in my life, the Ishgardian church and the Garleans come to mind. On the other hand, I remain aware of the many who pursuit religion and culture in good and earnest faith, my headmates being amongst them committing good deeds in the name of Menphina, however it is the instability and volatility of such structures of life that make me prone to avoiding them. As is with everything on the star, the key to up-keeping a healthy life with religion and culture in it is maintaining balance. This aforementioned volatility however makes the following practice quite difficult to maintain, many find themselves succumbing to the appeal of following blindly, the eversweet feeling of blissful ignorance, an excuse to ignore your problems. I do not trust something that makes it so easy to fall victim to its blissful and deafening song. I do not trust something can be so easily used to manipulate. I respect many cultures, I however, will continue to steer clear of such lines of thoughts, and carry the fullest intent to remain free and untempered in my thoughts and intentions
