One of the great tragedies is that Halo can't give us a snowy Forerunner landscape again without pulling the trigger on bringing the Flood back, when snowy Forerunner landscapes are the pinnacle of art
It was one of 343's smarter decisions to hold back on reintroducing the Flood for so long, but I genuinely think it's probably time. The Sweetness has ripened. This has nothing to do with any aesthetic perversions of mine please you gotta believe me

How much discourse do you think there is in the kpop demon hunters universe over Huntrix's breakup? I assume half the fans are analyzing every second of footage from the last three years looking for signs of tension and arguing about the whose fault it was and half the fans are posting that it's actually kind of fucked up to ruin the Idol Awards with a fake onstage breakup just to build up to dropping a new song, even if it is kind of a banger
@sagewiththyme You know that's a fascinating point because I figure the two options are a) no one really remembers what happened at the end because of magic bullshit or b) they play it off as a really elaborate but fully planned performance.
And the second one - can you fucking imagine.
Imagine one of the most popular bands in the world have this ongoing lore bit that they're actually demon hunters and they're always referencing it in their songs. And then one day a new boy band pops up and gets wildly popular with an over-the-top-cutesy hit. They're so soft and sweet and respectful. They're called Saja (Lion) Boys and they're all like "join the pride!" How cute!
And then they announce a new concert and you get there and it's fucking this. They're all dressed as demons/grim reapers. Surprise, "Saja" meant Jeoseung Saja all along! They're singing about how they're here for your soul and they relish in your pain, just a stunning 180 from their previous personas.
And then while you're trying to process the emotional whiplash the fucking demon hunter band bursts in and beats the shit out of them with the most insane pyrotechnic show you've ever seen in your life. They "kill" the boy band demons and then you never see them again. The whole band was a fucking psyop for Huntrix to play up the "demon hunters" bit.
I would never recover. The cheesiest fantasy power metal band has NOTHING on that level of commitment. I'd be stanning Huntrix for the rest of my life.
[ID: A comment by @āsagewiththyme that says, "Didnāt they also say that the Saja boys were fighting onstage and thatās why they swapped time slots with the girls? Double breakup and makeup type thing". End ID]
"Yeah, the Saja Boys were a fake band. We paid them to steal the limelight for a little bit while Rumi's voice was out of commission. We thought it would be a cool setup for a triumphant return, you know? The cute little Lion Boys end up being secret demons trying to steal your souls, and Huntrix steps in and slays them in a triumphant return? ...Yeah. We planned it all, the songs, the heel-turn, the special effects, the whole shebang.
Except, uhhhh. We didn't expect them to get so popular so fast? They For Sure weren't supposed to make it to the final round of the Idol Awards. Like, for Legal Reasons. We were almost visibly panicking on stage when they announced that! I mean, do you know how it would look once it eventually came out that Saja Boys were working for us? "Oh, you planted a fake band so you could win the competition!" No joke. I mean, that is a pret-ty clear conflict of interest there. You know?
The Idol Awards are all about the fan's choices, and we just accidentally rigged the game.
The Saja Boys had to win the Idol Awards, now, but there was no chance. They only had two songs, Soda Pop and Your Idol. We couldn't have them push up the debut--I mean, we thought about it, Your Idol's a banger song and it totally would've given us a run for our money--but we'd have to follow it up with This Is What It Sounds Like, first off, and second, 'killing' the Saja Boys onstage would be like. The Media equivalent of announcing we won, like the Fans didn't have a choice in the matter. At the Idol Awards? Ha. Yeah. That's a no-go.
And I mean. Soda Pop is catchy but not that catchy guys, c'mon. We were totally gonna cream them with Golden.
So we were all scrambling. Rumi and Mira and I were trying to write and choreograph a brand new song, Takedown, something good but not Good Enough To Win, to maybe prolong the Rivalry, you know? To make our comeback all the more sweet. But it was all such short notice, and the song wasn't working, and Huntrix never gives a shoddy performance, on principle. We couldn't do it. But it was looking like the only way we were gonna legitimately lose was if something... happened during the competition.
And then Rumi had this brilliant idea..."

And then it becomes even more complicated once itās been awhile, and it becomes clear that no oneās heard anything from any of the ārealā boys since the awards.
Like, obviously the Saja Boys werenāt a ārealā band, so it makes sense theyāre not coming out with new music, and since theyāre ādeadā, of course all their official band accounts have gone quiet, but like⦠someone would have had to be portraying the band members, right? Even if you wave that off as them being some of the same actors who portray the ādemonsā at their concerts, someone would definitely have to be lending their voices for the songs. Who were they? They couldnāt have been well-established in the industry, otherwise theyād have been recognized too quickly and the ruse would have been up, and something like this would have been a huge break for new performers.
So whyād they just disappear?
Where are the actors?
Iād imagine this would never gain too much traction within the fandom, but it still lingers long after the dust has settled and the scandal clears up. Go deep enough into the comments on any HUNTR/X-related posts, and youāll find someone commenting #WhereAreTheBoys.

re: this is unfair/is entirely divorced from any sense of causality but, whenever I encounter that sort of ~twist, the hate in my heart for the one 'Zuko from A:tLA has the best redemption arc that all fiction should learn from bc the show made super sure he never actually did anything BAD to need redeeming from' post on here burns a little hotter.
what your friends all say is fine but it canāt compete with this pillow talk of mine
that post that's like "we see it as indulgence when others express the things we suppress in ourselves" has genuinely done more for my emotional health than going on meds did
i wish i could find the original post bc once you start noticing that others see it as indulgence when you express that which they repress in themselves you can't stop seeing it
āRappers only talk about their money, cars, and clothes!ā
Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?
āRappers only talk about sex!ā
Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?
āRappers only talk about drugs and crime!ā
Why might someone from a group that historically have been denied the more legal means to acquire wealth and had drugs forced on their community talk about their experiences with it?
